Chapter 159 Using the daughter-in-law as a gift
It was already noon when we arrived at the commune.
Lu Yao told Yang Shouye:
"Go home. I'll come to your place later with some food and drinks."
Yang Shouye agreed and headed straight home.
Lu Yao and Jiang Baocai returned to the militia company.
Once inside the office, Jiang Baocai finally dared to ask:
"Company Commander Lu, why don't you send Yang Shouye to the county? Everything he's done is enough to get him stripped of his title. He might even end up in a re-education camp or be sentenced to prison."
Jiang Baocai had long harbored resentment towards Yang Shouye for his oppression.
As a mere militiaman, I had little influence and could only endure being manipulated.
Having finally found an opportunity to ruin his reputation, he was utterly perplexed to see Lu Yao release Yang Shouye.
Lu Yao laughed and said, "Do you know why I came back to your office with you?"
Jiang Baocai shook his head: "I don't know."
"I'm just afraid you won't understand. I need to talk to you about it."
As he spoke, he pulled Jiang Baocai to sit down.
I handed him a Daqianmen cigarette.
This is Yang Shouye's cigarette.
Jiang Baocai idolized Lu Yao, so although he had doubts, he did not question Lu Yao's character.
I know there must be a reason why Lu Yao did this.
She stared at him with wide eyes.
Lu Yao asked, "Bao Cai, if you encounter a dog on the road and you pick up a brick, will the dog be afraid?"
"I'm scared."
This is a common situation for children in rural areas.
Dogs are afraid of cats with their waists and wolves are afraid of crouching; everyone understands this principle.
Lu Yao then asked, "Could you kill a dog with a brick?"
Jiang Baocai shook his head: "He can't be killed!"
"Yes, that's exactly right. Right now, Yang Shouye only has some issues with women. We don't have any other evidence. These women have maintained relationships with him for so long, so accusing him of rape might not be conclusive. Besides, Yang Shouye has a history of meritorious service and has powerful backers. It's impossible to bring him down based on this."
"So you're just going to let him go like that?"
Jiang Baocai still couldn't understand it.
Lu Yao needs someone to do things for him if he wants to achieve his goals.
Jiang Baocai was very loyal to him, and he needed such a subordinate, so ideological work with him was very important.
We must not let him develop any doubts about himself.
Lu Yao held Jiang Baocai's hand:
"Yang Shouye is a vicious dog. The evidence we have is just a brick; it can only frighten him, but it can't kill him."
It's better to use this to restrain him, making him afraid to act rashly, and then we can gather other evidence to find out what other crimes he has committed.
"I pretended to let him go, just to lower his guard. During this time, he was afraid we would report him, so he obeyed like a dog."
"But we can't rule out the possibility that he might have the ambition to turn the tables on us, so you and the comrades in Group Three should keep a close eye on him."
Jiang Baocai listened with a mixture of understanding and confusion.
He has little experience and little education.
I feel something's wrong, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
Seeing that Lu Yao's words made sense, he nodded in agreement:
"Yes, Company Commander Lu, I'll listen to you!"
"Yes, we must work together to fight evil and never let the bad guys succeed."
The two shouted a few inspiring slogans at each other.
Then Lu Yao instructed him not to let out a single word until the matter was accomplished.
Then, he got up and went straight to Yang Shouye's house.
After his lecture, Jiang Baocai was determined to work with Lu Yao.
Everything he knows now is like a military secret, and he tells no one.
After Lu Yao calmed Jiang Baocai down, they arrived at Yang Shouye's house.
Every step was taken according to my own ideas.
He understands history and knows the general trend.
Make use of the resources around you to achieve your career goals.
He is neither a saint nor a judge; he has no need to punish the wicked.
If we were to judge who is good and who is bad in this world, then those who are good to us are good people, and those who are bad to us are bad people!
Bad people can be used, but there's no need to eliminate them immediately.
It would be easy to remove Yang Shouye now, but then someone else would be sent from above to take charge of the Shuiling Commune, and I would need to rebuild my connections.
Therefore, it would be better to keep Yang Shouye around for the time being, and completely conquer and control him.
Yang Shouye returned home dejectedly.
Sitting on the sofa, lost in thought.
I've been a cadre for over twenty years, am I really going to let a little brat ruin it all?
Or, how about asking the old chairman for help?
No!
Although he was mentored by the old chairman, who was even more senior than County Magistrate Hao Limin, the old chairman was a veteran leader who had fought on the battlefield and also looked down on people who engaged in promiscuous relationships.
Besides, if he knew that he had touched his granddaughter, he would definitely not forgive him.
The old chairman's trump card must not be used until the very last moment.
He can save lives, but he won't help himself do evil.
So what exactly does Lu Yao want to do?
He said he'd be here in a bit. What does he want to do with it?
Although Lu Yao couldn't kill himself by holding evidence of his misconduct, he could at least ruin his reputation and make him unable to work as a cadre again.
I can't figure out what he's trying to do.
At that moment, the door opened.
Yang Ming's wife, Yuan Shuya, walked in.
A light purple sweater fits her perfectly, highlighting her best features.
A pair of polyester twill pants, custom-made by a tailor shop, also stretched taut over long legs and a plump bottom.
Yuan Shuya is not very pretty, and she is also somewhat lacking in intelligence.
She liked Yang Ming, so she wanted to win his favor and tried her best to dress herself up nicely.
But Yang Ming just doesn't like her.
He still goes out and flirts with other women.
Yang Shouye was afraid that his wife would get lonely at home and go back to her parents' home to complain, so he personally comforted her.
Although she wasn't pretty enough, and although she was a bit dim-witted, she had a good grandfather.
That is, Yang Shouye's backer, the old chairman!
"Dad, you're back? That big guy's gone? He was so scary!"
I was scared by Liu Dameng this morning.
It took Yang Shouye and the others a long time before they dared to come out from under the mattress to put on their clothes.
"Yes, Shuya, prepare some dishes; we'll have guests arriving soon."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Yuan Shuya is very honest, but she has a pair of scissors on the kang (a heated brick bed) and a shovel on the floor; she is excellent at housework.
Hearing from her father-in-law that guests were coming, she immediately went to the kitchen.
At that moment, Lu Yao arrived.
Yang Shouye ushered him into the house.
The low table was set up, and Yuan Shuya brought out four dishes.
Although it was just tofu, potatoes, pickled cabbage, and scrambled eggs, eating four of them in one meal in those days was not something an average family could afford.
Yang Shouye asked Yuan Shuya to sit next to Lu Yao.
Suddenly remembering something, she said, "Wait, I'll go to Yang Ming's room and get some good wine. He has a bottle of Zhuyeqing."
After saying that, he got up and left.
Lu Yao hadn't said a word since he entered the room.
Watching Yang Shouye make arrangements.
At this moment, he saw that he had left him and Yuan Shuya in the same room, but then he went out.
I guessed a bit of it.
Sure enough, Yuan Shuya looked up at Lu Yao:
"Dad said you're better looking than Yang Ming, and yeah, you really are!"
Lu Yao smiled.
What kind of experience does he have?
It's obvious at a glance that Yu Yuanshuya's IQ isn't quite up to par.
Could it be that this old devil Yang Shouye is going to give me his daughter-in-law as a gift so I can have a taste?
