Chapter 137

She began to suspect that Lu Weiguo’s daughter-in-law might also have been reborn like her.

But this thought only flashed through her mind, and she suppressed the urge to investigate further.

Whether the other person was reborn or not didn’t matter. After all, she and Lu Weiguo were not heading in the same direction.

Seeing them approaching, she knew that Zhou Yian had informed them and they had come to intercept Bai Qiuyue.

Thinking of Bai Qiuyue, her eyes darkened.

In her previous life, there was also a similar incident where Bai Qiuyue failed to rent a house and went to report the Lu family.

At that time, the Red Committee was difficult and greedy. Although the Lu family had considerable influence in the Qianxi Brigade, it did not prevent the other side from causing trouble.

In the end, neither side gave in, and they had an unpleasant confrontation with the Red Committee, causing significant trouble for the Lu family.

Zhou Yian was someone who valued loyalty and had been sheltered by the Lu family, which saved his life. He was very grateful to the Lu family. After the incident, he had taken the opportunity to sneak out and beat up the Red Committee’s leader.

Later, the incident caused a lot of commotion, and Zhou Yian almost got himself into trouble.

Knowing that Bai Qiuyue might cause trouble again, she was determined to stop her. She remembered the debt owed by the Lu family to Zhou Yian.

Nodding towards Lu Weiguo and Shi Tingyu, He Ping left.

Shi Tingyu looked at her, puzzled, and asked Lu Weiguo, “Is she also from our brigade?”

Lu Weiguo thought for a moment before saying, “If I’m not mistaken, that should be Zhou Yian’s wife.”

He knew that Zhou Yian had married a girl from the He family at the western end of the village, but he hadn’t been back for a long time, and his memory of the He family girl’s appearance was a bit fuzzy. It was only now that he slowly connected the person he saw with the name.

Zhou Yian’s wife?

Shi Tingyu’s eyes widened in surprise. So, the person who had just passed by was the female lead of this novel.

Thinking back to how she had followed Bai Qiuyue after Bai Qiuyue left, she had reason to suspect that Bai Qiuyue’s current condition was caused by the female lead, He Ping.

Shi Tingyu wasn’t wrong.

In her previous life, He Ping knew about Bai Qiuyue’s reporting incident, so in this life, she kept a close eye on Bai Qiuyue, wanting to prevent Zhou Yian from going out at night to beat people.

After Bai Qiuyue was refused housing by the Lu family, He Ping kept an eye on her. When Bai Qiuyue finally took action, He Ping quickly informed Zhou Yian, saying she had overheard Bai Qiuyue mentioning wanting to report the Lu family, urging Zhou Yian to inform the Lu family.

That’s how He Ping smoothly sent Zhou Yian away and quietly followed Bai Qiuyue.

Knowing that Bai Qiuyue was someone who cared about her appearance and face, He Ping secretly planned for her to fall and dirty her clothes. She knew Bai Qiuyue wouldn’t dare to go to town again after this fall.

The effect of that fall turned out better than she expected. Not only were Bai Qiuyue’s clothes dirty, but she also twisted her foot.

For these days, Bai Qiuyue probably couldn’t cause any trouble.

She also believed that with these few days of buffer, the Lu family would handle the situation well.

After all, the Lu family’s foundation in the Qianxi Brigade was not to be underestimated.

It was just that Bai Qiuyue, with her troubled mind, couldn’t see this.

After Lu Weiguo and Shi Tingyu returned home, Shi Tingyu found paper and pen and wrote a report. Not only would Bai Qiuyue be reported, but she would be as well.

After writing a long letter, Shi Tingyu showed Lu Weiguo the report.

“How is it?” Shi Tingyu asked.

Lu Weiguo looked at it and saw that Shi Tingyu reported Bai Qiuyue for evading labor, complaining about the harsh conditions at the knowledge point, and showing serious capitalist indulgence.

“Very good.”

With that, Lu Weiguo put the report away. “I’ll go send it out later.”

Because Bai Qiuyue couldn’t deliver the report due to her foot injury these days, they could create a time difference with her.

This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Shi Tingyu urged him to send the report quickly.

Lu Weiguo drove there and returned around two o’clock in the afternoon.

Shi Tingyu quickly reheated the food for him.

Bai Qiuyue had taken leave from the brigade captain these days because she couldn’t do any work with her foot injury.

Second Uncle Lu didn’t hesitate to agree; this woman usually behaves badly, and they don’t lack her labor. As long as she doesn’t take any work points, it’s okay.

Bai Qiuyue’s foot was sprained, and she bought some safflower oil from the pharmacy to rub it herself. It was much better these days.

Without the pain, Bai Qiuyue’s mind became active again.

The report letter that wasn’t sent last time must be sent this time no matter what.

Last time, because of the snow, she didn’t borrow a bicycle, and now that the snow has almost melted, she can ride a bike.

But before she could act, the knowledge point welcomed the people of the Red Committee.

Now it was time for lunch, and everyone was there. Seeing the people from the Red Committee, everyone was nervous.

A few years ago, people often saw the Red Committee catching people, but now it was rare. Who had committed taboos this time?

“Bai Qiuyue! Who here is Bai Qiuyue?” The leader of the Red Committee shouted as soon as he entered the knowledge point.

At this time, Bai Qiuyue was eating, and she still looked puzzled. It wasn’t until she heard her name called that she stood up in panic.

“I… I am…”

The junior leader signaled two men to step forward and detain Bai Qiuyue.

“Someone has reported you for evading labor, complaining about the harsh conditions at the knowledge point, and exhibiting a capitalist indulgent lifestyle,” the junior leader said, gesturing to his men. “Come with us.”

Bai Qiuyue’s face turned pale. “I… I didn’t do it! Comrade! I’m innocent!”

Bai Qiuyue was unpopular to begin with, and now no one stepped forward to defend her.

As she struggled, the two men escorting her became annoyed and kicked her leg.

“Behave yourself. Whether you did it or not, evidence will decide,” one of them said sternly.

The junior leader nodded satisfactorily. He had already visited Lu Weijun to check Bai Qiuyue’s work and labor records.

Seeing the significantly high number of leaves and the meager work points on the records, the junior leader sneered, shaking the ledger in front of Bai Qiuyue and the onlookers, displaying it to everyone.

After ensuring everyone had seen it, he returned the ledger to Lu Weijun.

He stared at Bai Qiuyue coldly. “Is this your idea of innocence?”

Bai Qiuyue was speechless.

People around were somewhat surprised.

They knew Bai Qiuyue often took leaves, but this time they felt the impact more profoundly.

Looking at the records, her leave days almost matched her work days. No one else was as passive and negligent in their work as her.

Perhaps her family’s conditions were good enough that even without work points, Bai Qiuyue could still eat well.

Seeing the main culprit speechless, the junior leader said, “Take her away!”

As she was dragged away, Bai Qiuyue finally realized she was in serious trouble.

She couldn’t figure out who had reported her. Her gaze scanned the several female knowledge youths who lived with her.

Was it those who disliked the poor conditions at the knowledge point? They were the ones she had complained to.

The fierce gazes from those knowledge youths didn’t intimidate them. One of them retorted, “Don’t look at us like that. We didn’t do it.”

“Yeah!”

Normally, Bai Qiuyue had been quite arrogant at the knowledge point. Now that she was taken away, the relief among the several residents who lived with her was palpable.

Living with someone like her was like being cursed for eight lifetimes.
