"Dad, how can I let you resist? This is everyone's business. Besides, you are so old and you can't bother going to the police station. If you don't, you will blame me." Gu Xingguo frowned and said.
He is the eldest son of the family, and he should take on the eldest responsibility at this time.
"Why are you arguing at this time? Just listen to your dad. You both have families and families. Your dad and I have nothing to be afraid of at such an old age. We are not afraid of people's jokes, and we are not afraid of going to jail."
Li Xiulan packed her things and came out of the house to answer the question.
"Brother, are you at home?"
Several people were talking when Zhang Changhe's voice came from outside, and then the door was pushed open. In addition to the leader Zhang Changhe, there were two staff members in Chinese tunic suits following behind him.
"These two are from the county. They want to know something about the situation. Don't be afraid. Let's talk about anything. If it doesn't happen, they will definitely not accuse you wrongly."
Zhang Changhe turned around and said with a smile: "Really, comrade?"
The two staff members did not answer the call. Instead, they took out pen and paper and asked, "Who is Gu Shoufu?"
Gu Shoufu took a step forward: "I am."
"Has your family raised pigs this year? How many have you raised?"
"..."
When Gu Xingye heard someone reporting this incident, he quickly ran to the brigade to call Chen Lishu in the town.
He didn't know how far the investigators could find out. If he followed the clues, he was afraid that more would be implicated, so he had to notify Chen Lishu as soon as possible.
The phone rang several times before a woman's voice came from the other end: "Hello, where are you?"
"Hello, please call me Chen Lishu in Courtyard No. 6. If there is something urgent at home, please call her and come and answer the phone."
"Just wait."
Soon there was a busy signal on the other end of the phone.
Looking at the time, he had no idea how much time had passed. Gu Xingye picked up the phone and tried dialing again. He heard the beeping sound all the time. He was so anxious that he broke out in sweat in the middle of winter.
Chen Lishu was working at home. When she heard a call from the village and it was an emergency, she knew something must have happened. She hurriedly threw down her things and ran to the phone booth. As a result, she heard the ringing of the phone from inside before the person arrived, and she immediately ran a few steps.
Past: "Hello?"
Gu Xingye immediately felt relieved when he heard her voice: "Third sister-in-law, something happened at home. Someone wrote a report letter and reported the family and Uncle Chen. Now the investigators have come to the house."
Chen Lishu was confused after hearing what he said, but she quickly tried to calm herself down.
If you say it's an investigation, it means it hasn't reached the stage of arresting anyone.
"Fourth brother, remember that you must bite the pig to death and then sell it to the purchasing station."
Chen Lishu paused for a moment, remembering that she was familiar with the stationmaster there when she built a factory for the Zhenbei Purchasing Station last time, so she said, "You said you were afraid that there would be a shortage of pounds in the countryside, so both families sent pigs to the town's purchasing station.
Okay, leave the other things to me."
After hearing Chen Lishu's words, Gu Xingye felt a lot more at ease. He raised his hand and casually wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Okay, Third Sister-in-law, I understand."
Thinking of the temperaments of Chen Mandun and Wu Chunmei, Chen Lishu was still a little worried, and told Gu Xingye: "My fourth brother, please help me keep an eye on them, and I will try my best to get back."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Lishu didn't waste any time. She went home directly, picked up her bicycle and headed to the Zhenbei Purchasing Station.
"Why is Xiao Chen free to come here today?"
Stationmaster Wang Dafu was stunned for a moment when he saw her coming in. He suddenly remembered who it was, then got up and went to pour her water.
"To be honest, I have something to ask you to come to Wangzhan today."
Although Chen Lishu was worried, she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she smiled and took the water glass he handed her.
"It doesn't matter whether you ask for it or not. We are all cooperative units. If you have anything to say, you can tell me."
The reason why Wang Dafu had a good attitude was that there were some sand and bricks left on the site when the work was completed. His house happened to be paving the yard, and it was useless to pull the car back. Chen Lishu, who was kind and friendly, helped to send it to his house.
"Wang Zhan, you also know that in our business it is inevitable to have some connections. Pork is difficult to deal with. I happened to raise two at home this year. To avoid trouble, I wanted to ask you to help me give a receipt."
She used the name of the second city construction worker at the beginning, and naturally still uses this identity now. However, she hid the report letter and did not mention it. She only mentioned a note to show off.
When Wang Dafu heard that this was what happened, he agreed on the spot without saying a word: "Given the situation, it's understandable."
This was not the first time that Chen Lishu had been asked to do something like this. Moreover, it was just a matter of effort. There were many ways to make friends.
Wang Dafu said as he stood up and walked out: "I'll go and explain to the boss. If you think of anything, just tell him."
Seeing him so happy, Chen Lishu felt grateful: "If Wang Zhan can find anything useful in the future, just let me know."
"Haha, Xiao Chen, you are too polite." Wang Dafu laughed happily at her words.
Soon, Chen Lishu issued two bills from the buying station. Although they simply had a few kilograms and a few dollars written on them, they clearly had the name of the buying station printed on them. That was enough.
…
Gu Xingye didn't dare to delay when he came out of the brigade headquarters, and ran all the way to Chen's house.
Zhang Changhe's wife had already brought everything she needed to say. When Chen Mandun heard that the town investigator was coming, his legs went weak and he almost fell off the ground. Wu Chunmei even staggered and almost fainted.
"Her father, what should we do?" Seeing Zhang Changhe's wife leaving, Wu Chunmei cried out of fear.
"Alas." Chen Mandun drooped his head and sighed heavily: "Why do we have to do this now?"
Seeing the pigs in the pig pen gone, it seemed like it was really over this time.
…
"How many pigs are there in the house?"
Gu family, when the investigator saw that Gu Shoufu didn't answer, he repeated it again.
Gu Shoufu: "One end."
"Take us to the pig pen."
Gu Shoufu glanced at Li Xiulan and others who looked worried next to him, then raised his legs and led Zhang Changhe and the investigators toward the pig pen outside.
"Isn't this a pig? What kind of bastard is telling lies!" Zhang Changhe immediately became energetic when he saw the pig lying in the pen.
Although he looks thin and small, he knows it is not the original one from the Gu family, but luckily there is someone who can make up the numbers. How can the investigators know which family is which?
Gu Shoufu was still thinking about countermeasures when he heard Zhang Changhe's words and suddenly raised his head, and saw him blinking at him and he suddenly came to his senses.
"Yes, the child at home is getting married, so I have been keeping this pig to prepare for killing it in two days."
The investigator looked at the pig and murmured in his heart. They came suddenly today, and it was impossible for the Gu family to prepare pigs in advance to deal with them.
Fortunately, I was cautious and didn't bring the police here directly, otherwise this matter would have been really difficult to handle.
"Comrade, I have been Party Secretary for so many years and none of my team members have ever broken laws or disciplines. Please show me who wrote the report. Maybe he has a personal grudge and took the opportunity to take revenge. If you let me know who it is,
I will definitely give him serious criticism and education."
