Chapter 407
Youth Chen was unwilling to be arrested and sentenced like this. He knew that nothing good would come out of being sent to the police station.
At times like this, all the crimes that concerned hooliganism and broken shoes would not end well.
In its own right, it was rather impressive, seeing that the most severe punishment incurred the possibility of death by firing squad!
He held the door frame, “Liu Xiuyun, you can’t be so ruthless; you can’t cross the river and tear down the bridge. I have returned to be your shield, so why must you be so merciless?!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHan Qingyun didn’t expect that the man would dare to play tricks at a time like this. If Qingyun couldn’t handle someone as measly as he was, wouldn’t that just be embarrassing himself in front of Third Brother (Han Qingsong)?
He directly kicked Youth Chen’s leg, angrily threatening him, “You’re not relenting, are you?”
Youth Chen looked like a pig who was not afraid of boiling water, “I’m not in the wrong, I’m not! It was Liu Xiuyun who seduced me first. I wasn’t fooling around with her since we were in a relationship.”
Lin Lan walked over and threw him a rope, “If he doesn’t want to go, you can tie him up and drag him there.”
Han Qingyun was happy, “As always, sister-in-law has the best solutions.”
He tied Youth Chen’s arms and legs directly. Then, he had a young man bring a stick before the two of them hauled the troublemaker up and away.
Youth Chen became anxious as he swayed vigorously and protested in screams. In the end, it took a few men from the Brigade to subdue the rampant young man.
Lin Lan saw a torn underwear of a child, which was drying on the wall in the yard, so she pulled it over and stuffed it into his mouth, “That’s enough. Hurry up and go; the food at the labour camp is scrumptious!”
Han Qingyun waved his hand, “Let’s go!”
Han Yongsheng and the other cadres also supported Liu Xiuyun’s decision. After all, he was the one who broke the peaceful atmosphere of the village, so they bore their fair share of hatred towards the man. It was a good opportunity to use this incident as an example to frighten the other young men into making sure that they refrained from such behaviour.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLin Lan suggested that Liu Guifa send Liu Xiuyun to a trustworthy relative’s house for a couple of days. This would help her to avoid the limelight and give her time to calm down before thinking about what to do next.
Liu Guifa discussed this with the girl’s mother, who adopted this suggestion and temporarily sent Liu Xiuyun to her maternal grandmother’s house.
Youth Chen was sent to the Commune. Since he was an educated youth from an outer region, the situation had to be reported to the County Revolutionary Committee, so the incident wouldn’t be settled for a period of time.
Shanzui Village returned to its former state of peace. The members of the Commune were busy with the activities of the autumn harvest— planting wheat, distributing both dried and fresh sweet potatoes, collecting firewood and so on.
Lin Lan needed to make arrangements for Xiaowang since she was going to be busy with publicity matters during the slack season.
One pour of autumn rain equated to one layer of coolness(1). Contrary to the seasonal tendency, the weather was sunny today. The sky was clear and the clouds were light, beckoning the light to shine on the lands.
(T/N: Literally refers to how it gets colder the more it rains in autumn)
