From the History of the Republic of China to Raising Children in the 1970s

Secretary Fu didn't fall for his tricks. He had wanted to deal with these people for a long time, but he had never found the opportunity. They were like fleas. Although they didn't cause any major harm to him, they were always annoying.

"Don't talk about other things. I'm here to testify for these two old men. I can prove that they are professors of the provincial capital's Polytechnic University, and the test papers for the steel plant exam were sent from the city early that morning. Comrade Li Chengye definitely did not bribe others or commit favoritism and fraud. Can you let him go now?"

Secretary Fu said word by word, looking at Lai Yanhe with intimidation in his eyes, making everyone present unconsciously quiet down, and his words were heard clearly by everyone present.

"Let him go, definitely let him go, we made a mistake." Lai Yanhe dared not hold him back at this moment, and immediately asked his lackeys to let Li Chengye go.

"Secretary Fu." Li Chengye was also very surprised at this moment, he never thought that this person would appear here by chance and save him.

Secretary Fu nodded at Li Chengye soothingly, then turned to Lai Yanhe who was smiling flatteringly, and said seriously: "I have warned you long ago that as long as I am the secretary of the county committee, you have to be honest and don't mess around. Forget it this time, but if I find out next time..."

Although he didn't say the rest of the words, Lai Yanhe knew the unspoken threat in his voice, so he could only smile and nod to show that he understood. But he was also complaining in his heart, there is no revolutionary committee in any place like theirs, and you must provide evidence when doing things, otherwise you must not let this person know. He said that he was called by King Lai Yan, but the person in front of him was much more powerful than him.

Seeing that he was honest, Secretary Fu didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore. He couldn't do anything to them, and they couldn't do anything to him, so let's just leave it like this for now. "If you have nothing to do, hurry up and leave!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Lai Yanhe wanted to leave as soon as he saw Secretary Fu, so he ran away without any more work, and a group of subordinates followed him.

"Brother Lai, what should we do?" Er Zhuangtou immediately became anxious when he saw Lai Yanhe was about to run away.

"Do whatever you want, just do it, you guys can do it yourself." Lai Yanhe was almost mad at this Er Zhuangtou. Calling him now, isn't it obvious that both parties have joined forces to harm Li Chengye? How could he care about this idiot, so he ran away without looking back.

"Brother Erzhuang, what should we do now?" The people who followed Erzhuangtou were also anxious. They were called by Erzhuangtou and each of them was paid two yuan, but they haven't received the money yet.

"How should I know?" Erzhuangtou was also angry. He worked for so long in vain. He stomped his feet on the ground several times in anger and prepared to run away.

"Hey, where is the money you promised to give us?" The people who followed him naturally ran after him, and kept asking him for money while running.

"Er Zhuang..." Xie's father and mother were confused by these changes. Er Zhuang was not from their village, nor was he their relative. They came to them on their own, saying that he was their son's good brother and that he was here to help them. He arranged their food and accommodation for the past few days and gave them advice. He looked like a good man. Otherwise, how could two old men and women from the countryside dare to cause trouble in the steel factory?

But why can't they understand now? Didn't they say they wanted to seek justice for their son? His son had this disease and he didn't know what would happen to him in the second half of his life. The steel factory must be responsible for him for the rest of his life. How could it become like this!
