Chapter 184: Blocked on the Road
The captain was very upset: "Dad, let's not talk about Mingxing being cheated by the Lin family in the first place. When Mingxing gets married, you are still the head of our clan."
Why did he get the blame?
Patriarch Gao's face froze, he almost forgot about this.
"Alright, Boss, hurry up and help your grandpa back."
The captain quickly asked his son to help the old man back, and he quickly wrote a letter of introduction, stamped it and handed it to Gao Mingxing.
"Go get a divorce now."
Gao Mingxing couldn't wait to take the letter of introduction, and Lin Qiuhong stiffened her neck.
She had heard before that divorce required the consent of both parties.
When she arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, she refused to divorce. She didn't believe Gao Mingxing could divorce her.
She has nothing now. If she gets divorced, her sons will definitely ignore her and she will live out her life alone. She won't do that.
Gao Mingxing and Lin Qiuhong have been married for decades. He used to be blind, but now he knows what she is thinking just by looking at her expression.
He snorted coldly: "If you don't divorce me, I will report you to the police and have all the men in your Lin family shot."
"I've already lost face today, so I don't mind losing face again in front of the town."
The team leader was afraid that Lin Qiuhong would cause a scene at the Civil Affairs Bureau and bring shame to their team, so he asked Aunt Xu and a few other women to take her along.
However, before they could leave the brigade, a team of police officers and several familiar-looking cadres from the commune rushed over.
The captain quickly stepped forward to greet them.
"Director Li, I heard a magpie calling this morning. It turns out you are here."
"Director Luo, you look younger and younger these days."
"Public Security Li, are you here on business?"
The captain first flattered the two directors gently, and then carefully asked the police about the purpose of coming here.
Li Qianjin looked at the captain sharply and said seriously, "We received a report that someone in your team has been cheating on you for decades. Is this true?"
When the captain heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
No one in their team would go and report it, because once such a thing happened it would ruin the whole team's morale and affect the team's progress.
It must be the brigade next door, as both brigades were on Orange Mountain at the time.
Besides the people in their team, maybe someone from the neighboring team also came to watch the fun secretly.
It is no use pursuing the person who reported it, the most important thing is what to do now?
The captain had cold sweat on his forehead. As the saying goes, if the people don't report it, the officials won't investigate.
In the past, as long as the parties involved wanted to settle the matter privately, the authorities would not intervene.
But now Director Luo has also come. Judging from the way he does things, the Lin family is likely to be destroyed.
Although he also hated the Lin family for bullying their Gao family, this was not only related to the survival of the Lin family, but also to the interests of their entire brigade.
Their team did not have any advanced equipment last year. He guessed that the reason why the tractor was allocated to their team was because several educated youth in their team had someone behind them.
But apart from tractors, the fertilizers and other things distributed to their brigade this year were less than in previous years, and the conscription quota was divided up by other brigades.
If they fail to achieve advancement this year and such a big scandal happens again, their team will have a more difficult time next year.
But the matter had already been leaked out, and no matter how much they refuted it, it was useless. The captain felt bitter.
"Yes, that's what happened."
"They were having an affair for more than ten years. I heard that they also involved hooliganism."
Director Luo of the Revolutionary Committee, with his hands behind his back, preached in a leadership style: "Captain Gao, it seems that the atmosphere in your brigade is not very good."
What can the captain do?
I could only nod and apologize repeatedly: "It's all my fault for not being able to manage the team well and causing trouble to all the leaders."
Director Li of the commune was quite nice and comforted him: "You can't be blamed entirely. There are so many people in a brigade, and everyone has their own ideas. What's more, this affair started decades ago, when you were not even the brigade leader."
The captain was not happy with Director Li's consolation.
He was not the team leader at that time, but his father was the village chief.
Director Luo glanced at Director Li, then said with a straight face, "Where is the offender?"
Lin Qiuhong, who was held by several aunties, was trembling. When she found that everyone was looking at her, she subconsciously wanted to hide backwards, but she couldn't hide at all because she was held by several aunties.
She had met Director Luo several times, and every time they met he was criticizing others.
Director Luo followed everyone's gaze and saw her, a hint of disdain flashed across his eyes.
"What about the man? You can't be a slut by yourself."
Director Luo looked at Gao Mingxing who was standing next to Lin Qiuhong.
Meeting his gaze, Gao Mingxing waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I'm her husband, not her mistress."
The disdain in Director Luo's eyes became even stronger.
Gao Mingxing saw it, but could only lower his head even lower.
Director Luo said to the captain, "Why didn't you arrest her lover as well?"
The captain was speechless. He couldn't tell Director Luo that they had originally planned to settle the matter privately.
Fortunately, Director Li stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Hey, Lao Luo, don't be so impatient."
"This incident only happened today. It's understandable that Lao Gao didn't react and handle it in time."
The captain nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we have already sent someone to arrest him and are preparing to send him to the commune for the leaders to deal with him."
After hearing what the captain said, several clever young men quietly left the crowd and went to Lao Lin's house.
Old man Lin is almost 60 years old this year, and he is still in good health. However, he was spoiled by his parents when he was young and likes to be lazy at work.
Later, the third son, Lam Ka-tung, joined the army and sent all his allowances back home to his wife.
Although his wife was harsh to others, she was generous to him.
He had food, drink and clothes, and he didn't have to work in the fields. His life was more comfortable than those little kids in the village.
It was precisely because his wife spent all the money given by their son on him that he turned a blind eye to his wife's abuse of his two grandsons.
He knew that his third son had secretly given Lin Qiuhong money to take care of his grandsons, so he was not afraid that his two grandsons would starve to death.
Old Man Lin is a strong old man, but whenever he starts working he starts complaining about pain. He can't get much work done and he also slows down the progress.
The team leader simply ignored him afterwards. Since he had no work points, he would not be given any food.
So today almost all the people in Jushan went to work, but he didn't go either.
At this moment, he is leisurely waiting at home for his wife to come back and cook for him.
