Chapter 387 Worry



Chapter 387 Worry

Fortunately, the chaos at the educated youth site did not last long. The team leader Zhuang Shouren came to the site during the New Year's Day and implemented the new management regulations for the educated youth site.

There was nothing special about it. He just chose Guan Wenbin as the person in charge of the entire educated youth site, and then chose a female educated youth to be in charge of the other women.

Those disgusting regulations at the educated youth centers were formed at that time.

In the following years, the internal disunity in the educated youth centers caused many jokes.

After the leadership of the Construction Brigade realized that they would still have a hard time even if they were not targeted, they privately emphasized several times that the villagers in the brigade should not care about the educated youth and let them fend for themselves. Otherwise, if they offended the Educated Youth Office, they would be the ones who would suffer.

There were many internal conflicts in the educated youth camp, and later, for some reason, they began to intrigue over the number of places in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

I don’t know what they were thinking. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that no matter what the educated youth did, that quota would never fall on them, but they just found ways to make trouble.

Some female educated youth even took the initiative to approach several brigade cadres and conduct some unspeakable transactions.

The male educated youth had ambiguous relationships with the daughters of those cadres.

The people in the team couldn't even finish eating the melons for three meals a day, and they were so busy that they had no time to rest.

After the new year, it was time for Jiang Yu and his group to arrive at the construction team.

After listening to what Zhao Chunjiang said, Wu Aiqing and Chen Jinghan felt that their three perspectives had been severely damaged.

"So, is there no one investigating the follow-up of those dead educated youth?" Chen Jinghan was most concerned about this matter. Those were human lives, how could they just pass away so quietly?

Zhao Chunjiang paused for a moment when he was asked. His expression was blank, and he looked at Chen Jinghan blankly, "Who should be held accountable?"

Are they the people in the educated youth camp? Or are they the other educated youth who went to the countryside at the same time? Or even more so, the parents and family members of those educated youth?

“Are you just going to ignore it? Several lives were lost, and if they died, they died.” Chen Jinghan found it ridiculous. It was absolutely too ridiculous. How could this be possible?

"How should we handle it? Should we kill those suspected murderers to avenge them? Or should we call the police and let them collect evidence and punish them?" Zhao Chunjiang smiled bitterly. They could not do anything. At that time, they almost lost their own lives. How could they have the extra energy to care about other people's affairs?

Chen Jinghan was speechless. Killing for revenge was of course not an option. As for calling the police, those people dared to do such things so brazenly, they certainly were not afraid of being investigated. Maybe all the evidence had been destroyed long ago, so calling the police would be meaningless. "Then..." Did they just die in vain?

Wu Aiqing sighed and asked Zhao Chunjiang a different question, "How many of the female educated youths who were married off by dishonest means are still in the brigade?"

"Three." Zhao Chunjiang stretched out his hand and made a three. "The rest basically committed suicide because they couldn't stand the stimulation. I forgot to mention it just now. The villagers didn't dare to mess with the remaining female educated youth because of a girl named Huang Ju, who was also forcibly taken home by the villagers. That night, she took advantage of the family's sleep and slashed the necks of everyone in the family with a kitchen knife, regardless of age, without letting anyone go. Then she hanged herself on a tree outside the brigade headquarters and died with her eyes open."

Wu Aiqing and Chen Jinghan opened their eyes wide. They didn't expect that there would be such a powerful person among the female educated youth. What a pity. If they hadn't encountered such a thing...

"This matter is considered the kind that cannot be talked about in the brigade. Everyone is very secretive about it. It's good that you have heard about it." Zhao Chunjiang reminded him. After all, there are three other families in the brigade who have done the same thing. If too many people talk about it...

"These people are worse than beasts." Chen Jinghan was extremely disgusted. He even wanted to tell his parents about all these things so that they could broaden their horizons and know how horrifying they were. Someone should stand up and deal with these injustices.

Zhao Chunjiang's expression was gloomy. He took a sip of water and continued, "I'm actually very grateful to Jiang Yu. It was her appearance that made the people in the team wary of the educated youth site. When Jiang Yu was building the brick kiln before, I was actually very scared. I was afraid that she would be deceived by the villagers and used as a tool by the villagers." Fortunately, although I don't know what happened specifically, it is a blessing that Jiang Yu did not join the same front as the construction team.

"Then why don't you say it?" Chen Jinghan asked directly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Chunjiang's expression twisted.

I forgot that they had a bad relationship with the old educated youth at the beginning and had a bad attitude.

This question was quickly ignored by them. Wu Aiqing returned to the point and asked Zhao Chunjiang, "Are you worried that during this period when Jiang Yu is away, the people in the brigade will want to trample on the educated youth and bully them again?"

"Although it may not reach that extent, it will definitely not let us be as happy as we are now." Zhao Chunjiang was really worried. They had already straightened their backs again, so why would they be willing to let others step on their heads and pee and shit on them again?

"Actually, as long as you hold on, you can just hold on through this period of time, right?" Although Wu Aiqing could understand his worries, it wasn't as if Jiang Yu, the stabilizing force, wouldn't come back, and they would probably be away for more than a month.

Zhao Chunjiang had also thought so, but he was afraid that the villagers would seize Zhang Ming's handle and torture him to death. Even if they didn't care about Zhang Ming, once the villagers' memories of bullying the educated youth were awakened, it would be like opening the lid of Pandora's box. Who could say whether the past would repeat itself in the future?

"It's better to be safe than sorry. If the villagers realize that we are still the educated youth who could be bullied at will, our troubles will continue to come." Zhao Chunjiang really didn't want to go back to the suffocating state of the past.

"Let's wait and see. If someone really jumps out and becomes the first to try it, we certainly won't stand idly by." Regardless of what happens internally, at least in the construction brigade, the educated youth are natural allies. Wu Aiqing nodded and made a decision. They couldn't completely ignore the lives of other educated youth. In that case, let's wait and see.

Zhao Chunjiang breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more at ease. Although he didn't know what countermeasures Wu Aiqing and the others would take, he inexplicably trusted that he could handle everything.

After Zhao Chunjiang left, Chen Jinghan moved closer to Wu Aiqing and whispered, "Do you need me to get two guns for self-defense?"

Wu Aiqing looked at him with surprise but not surprise, "If it's convenient, yes."
