Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Fierce Counterattack_1

Village Chief Qi also came back, as did the Party Branch Secretary, the Second Party Branch Secretary, and Zhao Dajiao. They were discussing what should be done the next day.

"Tiantian, pack your things well. With those items, you will be fine," Village Chief Qi said. "Go back and rest. We set off at two in the morning, and by the time we reach the county city, it’ll be dawn, just in time to take care of your matter."

"Thank you, Village Chief Qi, thank you all the uncles and uncles," He Tiantian bowed, expressing her gratitude to everyone.

He Tiantian helped Third Grandma Qi back home. When He Tiantian was about to cook, Third Grandma Qi pulled her back, insisting that she wouldn’t let He Tiantian do it, saying, "Let me do it! You take a rest, poor child. How can those cursed people not let one live in peace."

Unable to persuade her otherwise, He Tiantian had to let Third Grandma Qi have her way.

By three o’clock in the afternoon, Niu Dajun arrived with good news.

Niu Dajun’s uncle, who was also Niu Lili’s father, had already seen the official document from Nan City at his workplace, which was endorsed by Tang Xinhua, the director of the Revolutionary Unit in Huai City.

"Great!" Village Chief Qi was delighted. This was even more useful than the proof He Tiantian had, "You’ve worked hard! Zhou Sihai came today, and if it weren’t for the villagers, Comrade He Tiantian would have been taken away by Zhou Sihai."

"Ah?" Niu Dajun was shocked. "Did Zhou Sihai really come?"

"Not only did he come, but he also brought along a letter accusing He Tiantian of having overseas connections, as well as a letter accusing you of having an improper relationship with He Tiantian," Village Chief Qi said angrily. The affairs of Qijia Village were now implicating Niu Dajun, making him feel particularly guilty.

Niu Dajun was taken aback, swallowing hard and said, "Uncle Qi, I regard He Tiantian as a sister, a friend, a revolutionary comrade, I’ve never had those messy thoughts!"

While saying this, Niu Dajun occasionally sneaked peeks at Qi Xiaoyan, who was drinking water to the side.

Qi Xiaoyan, upon catching Niu Dajun’s gaze, quickly turned her eyes away, her heart pounding and cheeks blushing. Why is Brother Dajun looking at me like that!

Village Chief Qi, wise beyond his years, glanced at Niu Dajun and then at his blushing daughter, understanding clearly in his heart; he had been young once too!

His daughter was still young, and Village Chief Qi hadn’t thought about letting her date so early. However, if it were Niu Dajun, he would be willing to turn a blind eye. Niu Dajun wasn’t bad, and as long as his daughter fancied him, he wouldn’t stand in their way.

"Alright, we all believe you. Every time you meet, we are present; it’s a pure friendship. Tomorrow we will testify for you," Village Chief Qi said, patting Niu Dajun on the shoulder.

Seeing that Village Chief Qi and Qi Xiaoyan didn’t believe the rumors, Niu Dajun relaxed and asked, "Uncle Qi, Qi Jianguo reported that He Tiantian has overseas connections, but why did he go to the trouble of slandering me and He Tiantian?"

Village Chief Qi answered, "Qi Jianguo is behind the overseas relations accusation, but it’s a young man from the city, Lin Xiaoru, who is slandering you and He Tiantian. Today, Zhou Sihai mentioned Lin Xiaoru but adamantly refused to implicate Qi Jianguo. Using this opportunity, I want to cause a big fuss and get Zhou Sihai off that position."

After hearing this, Niu Dajun frowned deeply, and after a while, his eyes lit up as he said, "Uncle Qi, there’s a way to handle this. As you said, he attacked Grandpa Qi today. Grandpa Qi is recognized as an old hero in our county and receives special allowances. Zhou Sihai assaulting Grandpa Qi can’t be easily overlooked. We’ll first use He Tiantian’s matter to strike at Zhou Sihai, proving that he’s wrongly accusing an innocent person, which will make Director Zheng believe that Zhou Sihai is incompetent. Then, we’ll accuse Zhou Sihai of assaulting Grandpa Qi, of insulting a hero. As for that Lin Xiaoru, we also need to bring him along for a confrontation!"

Village Chief Qi was more and more satisfied with Niu Dajun after listening to his well-organized description. Eager to help, upright, steady, and with a meticulous mind, on top of having a proper job—such people were hard to come by!

"Alright, that’s what we’ll do," Village Chief Qi said. "You don’t need to leave today. Rest up here, and we’ll go to the county city together tonight."

As they were speaking, Old Man Qi came over and directly said to Village Chief Qi, "This is the signed report letter I’ve written. Hand it in for me tomorrow. Oh, and when are you going? I’ll go with you. I want to see what dirty tricks that Zhou Sihai kid will pull!"

"Then Uncle Qi, you go back and have a good rest. We’ll set out at two in the morning," Village Chief Qi said. "The village has four bulls, all to be harnessed to carts. We will take more than twenty people, including the village cadres and strapping young lads to go find County Chief Liu, Director Chen, and Director Zheng to make things clear and get an explanation for us."

Old Man Qi nodded after hearing this and said, "Make sure you’re well-prepared. I have money and grain coupons, enough for everyone to eat in the county city for two days—don’t worry about it."

After Qi Ergou sent Old Man Qi back, Zhao Dajiao whispered, "Cousin, Qi Shuli is not in the village today, it seems like his whole family have gone to visit relatives."

"That’s even better since he’s not at home. If he were here, I’d be worried about him leaking information," Village Chief Qi whispered back. He simply did not believe Qi Shuli was completely unaware of the things Qi Jianguo had done. The reason for him coincidentally going to visit relatives might be to stay out of trouble. Anyway, it has nothing to do with Qi Shuli.

"What? Qi Shuli knows about this?" Zhao Dajiao exclaimed in surprise; she was unaware that Qi Jianguo was the instigator of this matter.

"The letter that reported He Tiantian for having overseas connections was filed by Qi Jianguo, and you also know about the other one from Lin Xiaoru. Go and tell Lin Xiaoru to follow us to the workplace tonight and confront the situation face to face. If she doesn’t come, she can’t say later that she wasn’t given a chance to defend herself," Village Chief Qi instructed. "That Lin Xiaoru is no good at work—always causing trouble!"

"Ai!" Zhao Dajiao sighed as well, "One rotten egg spoils the whole barrel of sauce. I’ll go right now and make it clear to her."

When Director Zhao arrived at the youth work team’s location, Sister Wu was scolding Lin Xiaoru, pointing at her nose: "I didn’t see it coming, Lin Xiaoru—you’ve got nerve! Going around reporting comrades, we’ll be too scared to offend you in the future, or else you might slap us with a big, improper male-female relations label. Wang Lei, hurry up and write a report. Go get it confirmed in the village to establish your romantic relationship."

"Okay!" Wang Lei agreed. Since Lin Xiaoru was a woman, it was not appropriate for him to comment, but he was also very angry about her writing baseless reporting letters.

"Qingshan, we should write one too," Ye Xiaofan suggested. "If we write it now, when we return home at the end of the year, we can get married, and then we won’t have to worry about people reporting us for messing around."

Zhang Qingshan looked at Lin Xiaoru with disdain and said, "Oh, in the future, I guess I should stay three meters away from you!"

This kind of woman, completely irrational, was like a rabid dog, barking everywhere. Just sitting on a bicycle together was deemed having improper relations—then what, having a few words and a laugh together was considered hooliganism?
