Chapter 29

Before Chen Haoyu finished speaking, the commune secretary Fan Shuxin said in a deep voice: “Paying back debts is a matter of course.

What’s more, Comrade Shen’s family is in trouble now, so you should immediately return the money and food you owe them. ”

Chen Haoyu didn’t dare to refute Fan Shuxin, so he could only grit his teeth and said, “Secretary, you are right. I will find a way to return all the money and food owed to Comrade Shen.”

Chen Jiao immediately said, “Comrade Chen, you promised to pay me back my money and food in three days, but now three days have passed and I haven’t seen a single cent. Your credit has been ruined in my eyes.

I now require you to write a letter of guarantee in front of the secretary, clearly stating the time for returning my money and grain. If you don’t return it to me by the time, I will come back to the secretary to make the decision! ”

Fan Shuxin also supported Chen Jiao and looked at Chen Haoyu, “Comrade Chen, when are you going to pay Comrade Chen back?”

Chen Haoyu had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, “Secretary Fan, I have already written a letter back to the city and asked my parents to send me money.

As soon as the money check from my parents arrives, I will immediately return it to Chen Jiao. ”

“How many days?” Chen Jiao didn’t give him any room to maneuver.

“Seven, seven days!” Chen Haoyu said with a trembling voice.

Fan Shuxin didn’t want today’s meeting to be too ugly, so he acted as a peacemaker and turned to ask Shen Jiao, “Comrade Shen, do you think seven days is okay?”

How could Chen Jiao not know what Fan Shuxin meant? Fan Shuxin had already made the decision for her. If she continued to insist that Chen Haoyu return the money immediately, she would offend Secretary Fan Shuxin.

She nodded and said, “Well, thank you Secretary for making the decision for me.”

Seeing that Chen Jiao did not make a fuss, Fan Shuxin’s expression softened a little when he looked at Chen Jiao.

Turning to Chen Haoyu, he said sternly: “Comrade Chen, since you promised to return Comrade Chen’s money and food within seven days, please write a letter of guarantee.”

Chen Jiao reminded him, “The total amount of all the IOUs is 1,238 yuan, 300 kilograms of fine grain, 200 kilograms of meat, and 600 eggs. Comrade Chen must write down everything clearly.”

Chen Haoyu almost fainted when he heard the numbers that Shen Jiao read out.

Everyone below also gasped. This amount of money and food was enough for a person to live for a lifetime.

Chen Haoyu actually borrowed so much from Chen Jiao in five years!

Some of the small officials in the commune also realized at this time that the reason why Chen Haoyu was so generous to them before was because the money he spent was not his own!

After Chen Haoyu finished writing the letter of guarantee, Yang Jue, who was sitting below, stood up and said, “Secretary, I have an opinion!

Chen Haoyu owes debts and refuses to pay them back, which shows that he has poor character. Such a person is not worthy of attending the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University! ”

As soon as Yang Jue said this, everyone responded immediately.

If you seize the opportunity, you can not only leave the countryside but also cross the class barrier. Who wouldn’t want to give themselves a chance?

As long as they can bring down Chen Haoyu, who has already been confirmed, they will all still have a chance!

These were none of Chen Jiao’s business, so she just stepped aside and watched the show.

Anyway, as long as Chen Haoyu and Zhang Fangfang, those two scums, don’t have a good time, she will feel comfortable!

Finally, Fan Shuxin convened an emergency meeting of the commune officials and announced the result, directly canceling Chen Haoyu’s qualification to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

As for who will get the final spot, the team leader and scorer of each production team will nominate an educated youth with the best performance in all aspects of the production team.

Then the educated youth nominated by each production team would be evaluated uniformly by the commune, and one person would be selected to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

This assessment system gave all the educated youth new opportunities, and when they returned from the meeting in the commune, everyone was full of enthusiasm.

Now, not only did no one help Chen Haoyu and Zhang Fangfang to say that Chen Jiao was causing trouble, but instead they all thought that Chen Jiao was doing the right thing.

But these things have nothing to do with Chen Jiao.

After Chen Jiao returned to the village with the educated youth from Dajiang Village, she did not go home but went to her second aunt Ma Cuilian’s house.

She wanted to strike while the iron was hot and take back all the things that the original owner had been cheated of by those two scums.

During these two days of rest, Ma Cuilian is sweeping the yard at home.

After listening to Chen Jiao’s explanation of her purpose, Ma Cuilian slapped her thigh and said, “Okay!

Jiaojiao, let me tell you that Chen Haoyu and Zhang Fangfang are not good people. I, your second aunt, have seen them flirting and doing dirty things in the back hills several times.

You should have taken back all your things and cut off all ties with them! ”

Chen Jiao smiled embarrassedly: “Second Aunt, wasn’t I deceived by them before, and threatened by them, so I didn’t dare?

Now that I know you will support me, I am not afraid of them anymore! ”

Ma Cuilian said, “Come on, Second Aunt will go with you to find them.”

As Ma Cuilian spoke, she shouted into the house, “Yingzi, Yanzi, both of you come out, let’s go to the educated youth camp together and give your brother and sister courage!”

Yingzi and Yanzi are the wives of the brothers Lu Ping and Lu An respectively.

Although they were cousins, the original owner was naturally not familiar with them because of her arrogant character.

Chen Ying and Li Yan had often been looked down upon by their original owners.

Now that they were called out by Ma Cuilian to support Chen Jiao, both of them were a little unhappy.

Chen Jiao was also prepared. When she saw the two of them coming out, she took the initiative to greet them with a smile, “Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I’m sorry to bother you with this matter today.

I brought some candy. You can take it and give it to Da Shitou, Xiao Shitou, Dani and Xiaoni to sweeten their mouths. ”

After Chen Ying and Li Yan married Lu Ping and Lu An, they gave birth to a son and a daughter respectively. Lu Ping’s children were older and their nicknames were Dashitou and Danier.

Lu An’s children were named after his brother’s children, Xiao Shitou and Xiao Ni’er.

As Chen Jiao spoke, she grabbed a handful of White Rabbit candy for each of Chen Ying and Li Yan.

Chen Ying and Li Yan looked at the candies in their hands, and the unhappiness on their faces disappeared instantly.

This is White Rabbit milk candy!

Not to mention the children, even they have never eaten it since they grew up.

It seems that what my parents said about Chen Jiao being a better person now was not just talk.

My cousin is no longer successful now, but this cousin’s wife has become really sensible.

Although Chen Ying loved the White Rabbit candy, she quickly pushed the candy back after feeling Chen Jiao’s affection, “Jiao Jiao, we are all sisters-in-law, there’s no need to be so polite.

Isn’t it just about going to the educated youth site to find those two educated youths and get the things back? It’s not a big deal, we’ll just go with you. ”

Li Yan wanted candy, but she felt embarrassed to accept it since her sister-in-law Chen Ying refused to accept it.

He also pushed the candy back and said, “That’s right, it’s not a big deal, we’ll just go with you.”

Chen Jiao insisted on giving them the candy, “Two sisters-in-law, if you don’t accept this candy, I’ll be embarrassed to ask you for help.”

Ma Cuilian now knew the temper of her niece-in-law, so she said directly to her two daughters-in-law, “I’ll give Jiaojiao to you, just take it.

Remember Jiaojiao’s kindness. Next time when Lu Ping and Lu An go to your third aunt’s house to help with housework, don’t look so gloomy. ”

Upon hearing this, Chen Ying and Li Yan could only accept the candy awkwardly, “Thank you, sister-in-law!”

The four of them went out and headed straight towards the educated youth site.

When they met people from the team on the way and asked them what they were doing, Ma Cuilian told them everything in a loud voice. By the time they arrived at the educated youth site, there was already a large group of people there.
