Chapter 493: Chapter 0493 End of Training 5_1

For anyone, the way of life is crucial.

Since the founding of the nation until now, in just over a decade, Cheng Baoguo and Wang Cuilan, traveling from the capital to here, have seen many cadres being pulled down due to issues with their lifestyle.

Some did indeed have issues, while others were falsely accused by others.

If those falsely accused were taken seriously, what about the truly problematic Zhao Yide?

"Truly problematic?" Feng Qingxue asked softly.

Wang Cuilan nodded, "More than one problem, a pile of issues have been investigated. It’s indeed true that you never know until you check, one check could be shocking! Turns out, this isn’t the first time Zhao Yide has done this."

She glanced at passers-by who were still peeping around or straining their ears to listen, and after thinking, pulled Feng Qingxue into the house.

"Let me tell you, Xiaoxue, once you return to the countryside, don’t come back to the city for a while, let things quiet down first, your uncle and I always welcome you". Wang Cuilan spoke seriously, "I estimate that soon, the disciplinary committee will investigate all the cadres of the municipal party committee. Zhao Yide dared to do such things under their watch, wouldn’t others be paying lip service?"

Feng Qingxue looked serious, "Auntie, will Uncle be fine?"

"Rest assured! Your uncle doesn’t take bribes or indulge in excess, what hold could they have over him?" Wang Cuilan displayed full trust.

"I remember Auntie said that you and Uncle manage by buying high-priced grain, won’t this underground trading be reported?" Feng Qingxue did not let her guard down and continued, "Auntie and Uncle should try to cover their tracks."

Wang Cuilan was stunned for a moment and said, "Don’t worry, I know."

Actually, many people in the city have been in and out of the black market, buying high-priced grain, everyone knew the truth. Unless caught by staff enforcing the prohibition of reselling, everyone would deny it to their graves.

For example, among Secretary Niu’s family, only Secretary Niu and his eldest son had urban household registration and job income. Without any food supply, if they did not buy the high-priced grain, they might as well starve themselves to death. Despite Secretary Niu’s high position and decent pay, the family lived day to day. The twenty dollars and ten kilograms of coarse grain they had borrowed from Wang Cuilan a few months ago were yet to be returned.

The disciplinary committee would not pay attention to such a matter. They only focused on the lifestyle of the officials, especially someone as scandalous as Zhao Yide.

Evidence was found of the truth of Zhao Yide’s denouncement after he was arrested

The disciplinary committee also found that Zhao Yide had been secretly supporting an actress for a long time. Before liberation, the actress was a local celebrity in Great Liyuan and played the role of Qingyi, better known as Little Taohong. After liberation, even though she was freed, she had already developed an extravagant and vain style of living, getting along without working. Even though she had married a bachelor under the state’s supervision, she could not stand the life of poverty and started to flirt with Zhao Yide.

Before, Little Taohong was a well-known character in the troupe, just like Chen Xueniang was the star courtesan of the brothel. She was catered to by wealthy gentlemen and warlords, far out of reach for Zhao Yide.

Now, Little Taohong had fallen to become an ordinary female worker, the psychological gap was too large for her to accept. She was set on climbing up the social ladder, and finally managed to cling on to Zhao Yide who she had not captured before but was still infatuated with. The two developed a secret affair, cherishing each other, disregarding her husband, and even sometimes making her husband play lookout for them.
