Chapter 697

~7 min read 1,393 words

"That little... of Seeing Jian Qiu," Wu Guihua gritted her teeth with hatred, wanting to say little slut, but in front of the old man, she didn't dare to say it.

"Little girl, broke Xiao Jun's head, heard she used a chair to smash him twice, almost beat Xiao Jun to death, just let it go like this?"

"Not let it go like this, what do you want? Do you think Jian Hongzhang has no temper?"

Ye Tuan snorted coldly: "Xiao Jun has been spoiled by you since he was a child, all those shitty things he's done over the years, do you think I don't know? This time he set his sights on a foreign enterprise and the Jian family girl, beating him up is light; if it were me, I would have taken a gun and shot him."

Wu Guihua didn't dare to speak anymore, Ye Tuan waved his hand: "Go, remember, talk to people properly. Don't think about using your identity to pressure people, people don't care who you are. The world is so big, for those capitalists, they can make money anywhere.

But our reform and opening up needs those capitalists to invest; those who have already come must be kept. If because of Xiao Jun's matter, people withdraw their capital and leave, and it blows up in the end, destroying the good situation of investment promotion, Xiao Jun can just wait to go to jail, no one can save him."

Wu Guihua nodded; she was just angry that her son was arrested and beaten until his head was broken by Seeing Jian Qiu, and was blinded by anger, but she wasn't really brainless.

Yue Guoqiang held a teacup, standing in front of the window looking at the night outside, his wife Xi Shuzhen pushed open the study door.

"Old Yue, time to eat."

Yue Guoqiang came back to his senses, took a sip from the raised teacup, then put the teacup on the desk and walked out.

Outside on the table, a small bowl of soybean paste, two cucumbers, a handful of small green onions, and a few pieces of dried tofu were simply placed, as well as a small basin of sorghum rice water rice.

Xi Shuzhen used a colander to serve rice for Yue Guoqiang, while chattering away.

"Yue Lei said she would bring the child back tonight, I prepared all the dishes, she called and said she wasn't coming back, you say if that's not annoying."

Yue Guoqiang picked up the rice bowl, used chopsticks to shovel a mouthful of rice into his mouth, then picked up a cucumber, dipped it in soybean paste, and took a bite with a crunch.

"The child is busy with work, or has temporary things, if she doesn't come back, she doesn't come back. If she doesn't come back today, she'll come back in two days."

Xi Shuzhen said: "If they don't come back, what should I do with those dishes?"

"If they don't come back, can't I eat those dishes?" Yue Guoqiang's tone was very dissatisfied, "Look, 365 days a year, every day it's either big tofu or dried tofu, if the children don't come back, I can't see a bit of meat."

"Snap!"

Xi Shuzhen put the bowl she had just served rice into heavily on the table: "From the time we two got married until now, have you ever taken a penny home?"

Once this topic was brought up, Yue Guoqiang felt guilty, his face full of smiles: "I was just saying, in a while I'll call Yue Lei, saying whether she's coming back or not, this is too unreasonable."

"You!" Xi Shuzhen sighed and sat down, "Daming, Erlong, Xiaofeng, they sacrificed almost twenty years ago. And that short one, called Mao Xianyou.

The day before, we went to attend his wedding, and the next day when he was performing a mission, he sacrificed. I remember very clearly, his mother was only forty-something, her hair was still black and shiny on the day of the wedding, but when we went to attend the funeral, her hair was all white.

Of all things in the world, the saddest is the white-haired sending off the black-haired. And his newlywed wife, cried until she fainted several times, later, you said his wife was pregnant, I felt very comforted in my heart..."

Yue Guoqiang listened to his wife chattering, thinking of the comrades who sacrificed, his heart suddenly became a bit blocked.

Xi Shuzhen saw Yue Guoqiang's face was wrong and stopped talking: "In these few years, you have also been pushing to improve the living subsidies for martyrs' families, but the country has the country's difficulties, it's not so easy to push."

"Sigh!"

Yue Guoqiang also sighed, "Sitting in my position, some things, even if you know they cannot be done, you must do them."

Just like this arrest of Ye Jun, knowing that doing so might offend Old Man Ye, but duty-bound, he had to arrest the person.

It's just that, after arresting the person, how to deal with it required wisdom.

Therefore, at the same time as arresting Ye Jun, he sent the videotape and cassette tape directly to Ye Tuan.

Fighting crime and arresting criminals is my duty. I arrested the person, how to deal with it in the end, whether to do things according to the law or release the person, is decided by you, old man.

At that time, no matter what problems arise, it has nothing to do with me, Yue Guoqiang. Even if the sky falls, you are tall, so you hold it up.

Xi Shuzhen didn't know that Ye Jun had been arrested: "Today I told you these things, just to tell you, I have never blamed you."

Yue Guoqiang suddenly grabbed Xi Shuzhen's hand and said affectionately: "Shuzhen, marrying me, you have been wronged."

Xi Shuzhen smiled, just about to say something, when the door suddenly opened.

Outside the door stood a woman, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, holding a five or six-year-old little girl, and behind them, stood a tall and handsome young man.

When they opened the door and saw Yue Guoqiang grabbing Xi Shuzhen's hand, and the two faces were very close, they stared wide-eyed, and the air seemed to freeze.

"Grandma, Grandpa!" The little girl cheered, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

Xi Shuzhen pulled her hand away with a 'whoosh', her face a bit red, and bent down to pick up the little girl.

"Didn't you say you weren't coming back?"

Yue Lei entered with a smile: "Dad, Mom, did we come at the wrong time?"

Yue Guoqiang said dissatisfiedly: "Very wrong time."

"Dad!" The young man, that is, Yue Guoqiang's son-in-law Duan Zhihui, put the three bags he was carrying on the table.

Xi Shuzhen asked: "What is this?"

Yue Lei shuffled over in slippers and sat on a chair: "Burgers and fried chicken."

"Expensive as hell, buying it again." Xi Shuzhen muttered.

Yue Lei asked curiously: "Just now looking at my dad's affectionate look, what were you talking about?"

"Snap!" Xi Shuzhen slapped her daughter on the head, "We were talking about your dad's comrades who sacrificed, these few years, your dad has been pushing to improve the treatment of martyrs' families, but the progress has not been great."

Yue Lei didn't believe it, but didn't ask deeply, afraid of really getting hit.

"I know about this, but now there are too many places that need money, every penny in the country's hands must be broken into several halves to spend."

She works in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and she knows about her father's affairs.

"However, the ministry is going to establish a charity federation, which can raise private funds, and then we can think of ways."

Yue Guoqiang waved his hand: "Charity federation, that is for doing charity, using private donations raised to undertake obligations that should have been undertaken by the state, it is not appropriate."

Duan Zhihui suddenly said: "We can raise funds from enterprises with a sense of social responsibility, such as the Yugong Group, they have their own charity fund. Although it is impossible to take care of the whole country, helping those martyrs' families who are particularly difficult first can still solve urgent needs."

Yue Lei's eyes lit up: "This is possible, I will go find a contact tomorrow."
