Bloody Romance: I, the big troublemaker, Zhong Yuemin!

It was almost two o'clock when I came out of the post office. A long-distance call only lasted about ten minutes, and waiting for the transfer took more than an hour. It would be really torture if I encountered an emergency. So I had agreed with the foreign girl in advance that the next phone call time would be accurate to the minute to avoid wasting time. Then I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some hexachlorobenzene and other items. There were too many fleas on the kang in the dormitory, so I sprinkled some hexachlorobenzene to kill them.

It was already past four o'clock when we returned to Wangjiagou. We had just arrived at the educated youth site when Yang Wanqing, a member of the fourth team, came running over in a hurry. She was the daughter of Yang Min's family. She was a very cheerful and lively girl. She was also good-looking and a good worker. She was good at both housework and outside work. She had worked in the fields before and had helped the educated youth a lot. After getting along with them for about a month, she had become friends with them. She would run to the female educated youth dormitory whenever she had nothing to do. She was best friends with Qin Ling, Li Ping, Wang Hong and the others. Sometimes she would sleep here at night and the girls would get together and chat all night long.

"Yuemin, Qinling... you are finally back."

Zhong Yuemin saw people in a hurry and asked, "Wanqing, what happened?"

Yang Wanqing came up to him and took a deep breath. "Did you get into a fight with someone in the county?"

"Fight? What kind of fight?" He pointed to the dung bucket on the side.

"I went to clean out the manure. Look, it's full."

Yang Wanqing said:

"At noon, someone from Lijiawan came and said that our brigade members had beaten them and had bled, and they wanted us to pay compensation. Secretary Wang was very angry and told us to come back and go to the brigade headquarters immediately."

"What the hell!"

Luo Jianguo said angrily:

"What a filthy little bastard! He even came to the brigade to complain. Are the people from Lijiawan here? I didn't get to beat them up this morning, so I'll make it up to them now."

"Jianguo, stop making trouble!"

Zhong Yuemin stopped them and said, "Drive the donkey cart to the barn first and unload the dung bucket. I'll go over and take a look."

Li Kuiyong came up and said, "Yuemin, I'll go with you!"

"Row!"

When we arrived at the cave of the brigade headquarters, Wang Long, Yang Min, and Wang Bao were all there, as well as a middle-aged man with a beard and a bald head. His eyebrows were very distinctive and dense, but very short, half as short as those of an ordinary person. So his whole face gave people a conflicted expression, a mixture of majesty below and funnyness above.

Zhong Yuemin and the other man went in, without greeting Wang Long, and said to Yang Min:

"Captain, you're looking for us."

Before Yang Min could speak, Wang Long said coldly:

"Zhong Yuemin, when your team went to the county town to collect excrement, did they beat up the people from Lijiawan?"

"Lijiawan? Where is it? We went to the county town to dig out excrement. Why would we beat anyone? No one, right?"

"Why are you pretending?"

Wang Bao cursed, "Captain Li has come to our door, and I'm asking you, did you go to the county hospital to clean out feces today?"

"Yeah, is there a problem?"

"Don't you know that the manure of the hospital has always been contracted by Lijiawan? Not only did you steal the manure, but you also beat people up. This is a big problem."

Wang Bao said:

"Thank goodness Captain Li was conscious of the overall situation and didn't make things difficult for you educated youth from Beijing. Otherwise, would you still be staying here so peacefully? You would have been arrested by the commune militia and sent to a labor camp at the construction site a long time ago, huh."

Zhong Yuemin looked at this guy who was showing off his power and only bullying his wife, and snorted coldly.

"Wang Bao, which brigade are you from? This is Wangjiagou, not Lijiawan, and you're the captain of the second brigade. Why are you always saying nice things to outsiders? Who are we working so hard to dig out manure for? It's our entire Wangjiagou brigade. Without manure, there's no harvest. Why the hell are you barking here? You're a traitor!"

"Who the hell are you scolding?" He rolled up his sleeves and was about to take action.

"What, you want to practice? Come, I'll give you a hand!"

He stepped forward, pressed forward, and suppressed the opponent with his momentum.

"you you……"

"All right!"

Wang Long slammed the table, his face darkening.

"What are you arguing about? Zhong Yuemin, let me ask you again, did anyone get beaten? There were so many people around at the time, you can't deny it."

"hehe!"

Zhong Yuemin sneered twice.

"Secretary Wang, you keep asking us if we hit anyone, but you don't care why we did it. Our team four worked hard to go to the county town to collect manure, and these people from Lijiawan were so arrogant and unreasonable that they just came up and knocked over our manure buckets. If the rest of our team hadn't arrived in time, we would have been the ones to get beaten."

"Didn't you guys go and steal the manure first?" Wang Bao retorted.

"Fuck you!"

Li Kuiyong cursed, "Which eye did you use to see us steal? Did Lijiawan collect the manure from this hospital? If you produce official documents and the commune seal, we will admit it."

"Don't give me that!"

Wang Long was also furious. These brats were truly lawless. How many years had passed? And someone still dared to act so wildly in front of him, Wang Long!

"There's no official document, but the county's manure has always been contracted to Lijiawan. This is known not only to our Hongqi Commune but also to several surrounding communes. It's an unwritten rule that's been in place for years. You educated youth from Beijing have only been here for a month or so, and you're messing around. Don't underestimate this small matter. If it causes a large-scale conflict between the two brigades, or even casualties, you won't be able to bear the responsibility!"

Damn, what a big pot to take away.

Zhong Yuemin curled his lips.

"Okay, Secretary Wang, we'll take the blame. What do you think we should do?"

Wang Long said:

"I just discussed it with Captain Li. We'll compensate the injured person 200 yuan, and the perpetrator will be sent to the construction site for one month of reeducation through labor."

"Okay, no problem!"

Zhong Yuemin immediately pulled out 200 yuan from his pocket and slammed it on the table, which surprised Wang Long, Wang Bao and the others. Is this guy so rich? He just casually carried a few hundred yuan in his pocket?

Li Erpao, the captain of Lijiawan, picked up the money, squeezed it in his hand, and felt proud and happy. Although he came here today to ask for an explanation, he didn't say that he had to compensate for any medical expenses. He just had a nosebleed, which was nothing serious. This trip was worth it. He earned 200 oceans, which is the annual income of an ordinary family. It's still you, Wang Long, who has prestige. These educated youths from Beijing are really fat sheep. He felt sorry that there were no educated youths from Beijing in their team.

After taking the money, he pretended to scold her, then comforted her, slapped her in the face and gave her some sweet talk, then stood up and prepared to leave.

Zhong Yuemin narrowed his eyes and said, "Captain Li, don't worry, there's still something else."

"What else?"

"We admit the beating, but how are we going to deal with the situation where you guys in the brigade bullied us female educated youth, touched our buttocks and behaved like hooligans?"

Wang Bao said:

"Zhong Yuemin, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You should know the consequences of slandering others."

"Wang Bao, why are you so anxious? What's going on? Are you really doing something shameful with Lijiawan? Are you slandering me? Humph!"

Zhong Yuemin said:

"So many people were there at the time and saw it clearly. Commune Commissioner Li was also there. The other party admitted that he was a hooligan and he couldn't deny it. If you don't believe me, let's go to the commune together and question him face to face. I originally thought that it was not easy for everyone to come out to dig out the manure. It's better to have less trouble than more. Let's all take a step back and let it go.

Since Secretary Wang and Captain Li are impartial and enforce the law impartially, then fine, I will do as you wish."
