Grandma's taking the fatty meat?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yun understood the whole story.

The captain rewarded Zhang Yun and Zhang Jiwu with five jin of muscle for the wild animals they hunted that morning. However, Zhang Yun gave five jin of fat to Zhang Jiwu in order to get a machete from the blacksmith's shop.

Later, Zhang Yun went to the pig farm and told his mother, Chen Wan, to take 5 jin of fatty meat from Zhang Jiwu's house.

After having lunch at the cafeteria, Chen Wan rushed home. However, when she arrived at Zhang Jiwu's house to get the meat, her aunt Liu Juanjuan told her that her grandmother, Sun Manxiang, had taken away 10 jin of fatty meat.

Zhang Yun thought about it for a moment and realized that it must have been instigated by his uncle or aunt that his grandmother had taken the fat meat.

Because the three brothers Zhang Boshu, Zhang Zhongli, and Zhang Jiwu divided the family property, their grandparents Zhang Guangming and Sun Manxiang lived with Zhang Boshu, while Zhang Zhongli and Zhang Jiwu's families each gave them 5 yuan a month for living expenses.

Grandpa and Grandma have always favored Uncle's family. The two elderly people often go to Zhang Zhongli's and Zhang Jiwu's houses to take things without permission, at the instigation of Uncle's family.

This led to the eldest uncle's family developing an arrogant attitude and arbitrarily oppressing the Zhang Zhongli and Zhang Jiwu families.

The eldest uncle clearly had his eye on the 10 pounds of fatty meat again, so he instigated the grandmother behind her back, which led her to repeat her old trick and forcibly snatch the fatty meat once more.

This is truly disgusting.

Zhang Yun could understand why his parents and sister were so frustrated; they had probably been feeling depressed all afternoon but had no way to vent.

At this moment, Zhang Yun's eyes swept around and he quickly spotted his uncle Zhang Boshu and his three sons standing with the other commune members, their faces full of sinister smiles, as if they were mocking his family.

Zhang Yun, who was already in a bad mood, could no longer tolerate the family's behavior when he saw their true colors.

"Captain, a thief broke into my house and stole 5 jin of fat meat from my house."

"I demand that the brigade search every household and find out the thief who stole the people's property."

Suddenly, Zhang Yun came to the side of the brigade leader Zhang Youwei and shouted excitedly.

This loud noise immediately attracted all the members of the community in the old camphor tree square.

"What? Someone's stealing!"

"A thief has appeared in our Jiuwan Village!"

The members began to discuss the matter animatedly, with these two expressions of surprise being the loudest.

After all, people in the 70s were quite simple and honest. They basically didn't lock their doors at night because everyone relied on and trusted each other. They didn't have to worry about anyone coming into their homes to steal or do bad things.

If a thief were to appear in Jiuwan Village, it would inevitably cause widespread panic among the villagers, with everyone worried that the thief might break into their homes.

Moreover, if the commune members are all out working in the fields on weekdays, these thieves can enter each house as if it were their own, ransacking their homes. This will inevitably affect the commune members' mood for production, and everyone will be worried that their homes will be broken into by thieves.

When Captain Zhang Youwei heard Zhang Yun shout this, he was also full of surprise, and then he jumped up and down in anger.

"I can't believe this happened!"

"This absolutely cannot be tolerated!"

Zhang Youwei had personally delivered 10 jin of fatty meat to Zhang Yun and Zhang Jiwu that morning, but the meat had been stolen. This not only embarrassed him, but also seriously damaged the atmosphere of the Jiuwan Village production brigade.

If this is not handled properly, the bad reputation will spread to Qushui Commune, and he, as the brigade leader, will at least be punished, and will also be ridiculed by other production brigades.

Whether from a personal or public perspective, Zhang Youwei absolutely could not tolerate this kind of thing happening.

Standing among the members, Zhang Boshu, Zhang Tuanjie, Zhang Shengli, and Zhang Jianshe panicked when they heard Zhang Yun's shout and the angry voices of the other members.

Previously, relying on the favoritism of the two elders, Zhang Guangming and Sun Manxiang, their family wantonly bullied their two younger brothers. The two younger brothers, out of consideration for their parents' reputation and not wanting to cause too much of a stir, always swallowed their anger.

Who knew that Zhang Yun would appear!

This is completely unpredictable and beyond the expectations of Zhang Boshu's family.

Zhang Boshu's original plan was that his mother, Sun Manxiang, would take 10 jin of fatty meat. If Zhang Zhongli and Zhang Jiwu had objections, they could at most go and make a scene. However, with his parents' favoritism, Zhang Zhongli and Zhang Jiwu could only accept it and at most return 5 jin of fatty meat to the two families. In any case, Zhang Boshu's family would make a profit.

But Zhang Yun, in front of everyone, actually claimed that someone had stolen his family's fat meat.

This completely changes the nature of things.

This is a crime!

In the 70s, once someone was associated with crime, the entire family would be greatly affected. Not only would their work points be reduced, but their class status would also be relegated to the lowest level, making it impossible for them to hold their heads up in the village.

"Dad, what should I do?"

Zhang Tuanjie was quite nervous. At this moment, he leaned close to Zhang Boshu's ear and whispered a question.

"Go home right now and have your grandma return those 10 pounds of fat to your third aunt intact. Hurry up, or it will be too late."

Zhang Boshu realized the seriousness of the situation and dared not harbor any illusions. He immediately gave an order.

If it is found that Zhang Boshu instigated this, the production team leader will definitely be dismissed. Zhang Boshu was terrified. He finally realized how terrifying Zhang Yun was.

Without a second thought, Zhang Tuanjie immediately took off running.

Zhang Shengli, who was standing next to her, suddenly whispered, "If Mom had gotten the fatty meat, she would have already fried it this afternoon."

Upon hearing this sound, Zhang Boshu's entire body suddenly went limp, and he sat heavily on the ground.

Yes, given Wang Yuanhui's character, once she saw Sun Manxiang take back the fatty meat, how could she possibly return it? She would definitely fry the fatty meat into oil immediately.

That means those 10 pounds of fat are no longer there.

This thief's crime is going to be confirmed.

"me……"

Zhang Boshu couldn't catch his breath. Only then did he realize how foolish he had done something; he had picked up a stone and shot himself in the foot.

Zhang Yun, of course, saw the panicked expressions on Zhang Boshu's family's faces, which further confirmed his suspicions.

Live it!

"Captain, the thief took my family's fatty meat, probably to make oil for us."

"Now, all we need to do is search house to house to find out who stole my fat meat by finding out who has freshly rendered pork fat."

Zhang Yun was quite familiar with the greedy nature of his grandmother and aunt. He had already deduced that Wang Yuanhui must have fried the fatty meat into oil in just one afternoon.

Meat scraps can be hidden, but lard is not so easy to hide.

Moreover, given Wang Yuanhui's fiery nature, she would never have imagined that someone would search her house; she would never have bothered to hide the lard.

"That makes a lot of sense."

"Alright, I'll take some men to your house first to check the situation, and then decide whether or not to search each house."

Zhang Youwei said with a serious expression.

At this moment, Chen Wan, the mother, came over and said with some difficulty, "Captain, there's no need to investigate. I gave the fatty meat to my mother-in-law at noon. Yan Hong didn't know the reason and thought the fatty meat at home had been stolen, which is why Yun Ya Zi misunderstood."

Zhang Yun was taken aback. Looking at his mother's anxious expression, he immediately understood what she was thinking.

I still don't want to make a big deal out of it; I'm thinking of swallowing my anger and not letting my family's dirty laundry be aired in public.

Zhang Zhongli sighed again and again.

If this matter really escalates to the level of a crime, the three brothers Zhang Boshu, Zhang Zhongli, and Zhang Jiwu will be completely finished. Their relationship will be so strained that there will be no room for reconciliation.

Zhang Zhongli understood Zhang Yun's idea: to take this opportunity to intimidate Zhang Boshu's family and prevent them from becoming too greedy and demanding.

Zhang Zhongli was caught in the middle between his parents, his elder brother, and his son; his situation was extremely difficult.

When Captain Zhang Youwei heard this, he was surprised for a moment, and then he realized what was going on.

As the captain, Zhang Youwei knew a lot about the three brothers, Zhang Boshu, Zhang Zhongli, and Zhang Jiwu, and was aware of their conflicts.

At this moment, Zhang Youwei walked up to Zhang Boshu and said calmly, "Fifth Captain, I'm leaving this matter to you. I hope it will have a good outcome."

After saying that, Zhang Youwei went straight to the main canteen.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Boshu immediately understood Zhang Youwei's meaning: Zhang Youwei already knew that this was something he had orchestrated behind the scenes, and now Zhang Boshu had to clean up the mess himself and not escalate the situation.

So, Zhang Boshu approached Zhang Yun with a displeased expression and whispered, "Yun, after dinner, come to my house."

Zhang Yun also understood Zhang Boshu's idea: they wanted to resolve this privately.

"it is good."

Zhang Yun didn't want to put her parents in a difficult position, so she immediately agreed.
