1977: It all started with a wrong love

Chapter 23: The Brother-in-Law Xu Erhe

When the whole family heard the notice from the commune militia, they were immediately shocked.

My goodness, the Xu family can’t be that unlucky. The eldest sister just returned to her parents’ home with her children in a panic, and they haven’t reached a final agreement on divorce yet.

As a result, the commune had actually arrested the person, and notified this side to send someone to the commune to handle the matter...

The eldest sister burst into tears.

"Dad, Mom, Third Brother, you all saw it! You should all believe now that this bastard named Xu will get shot sooner or later..."

At this moment, Father Lu put his pipe behind his waist without saying a word.

He nodded to the commune militiaman and immediately prepared to walk out of the yard.

It seems that he will have to go to the commune in person to clean up the mess for his brother-in-law Xu Erhe.

"Dad, don't save that bastard named Xu. Just let the police station take care of him for the rest of his life..."

The eldest sister yelled at her father as he turned and walked out, as if she wanted her husband Xu Erhe to die immediately.

Seeing their mother crying so hard, the two little nephews also started crying loudly.

For a while, the Lu family courtyard was filled with crying sounds, and those who didn't know the inside story thought it was some funeral.

At this moment, many neighbors including Aunt Tieying who lived not far away heard the noise and came over. They were already blocking the gate of the courtyard, looking into the yard.

Aunt Tieying happened to block Father Lu who was walking out, "Brother, what's going on at home? Dalian is..."

Father Lu has always been a taciturn person, with a gloomy face, and he didn't answer Aunt Tieying's questions at all.

Lu Yifan had already caught up quickly at this time, and waved his hand to Aunt Tieying to signal her not to ask any more questions. He then stopped his father and said, "Dad, you stay at home and rest. I will take care of this matter. I believe I can handle it well!"

Mother Lu also came forward at this moment.

"Father, let San'er go! After all, our San'er is the top scholar in the province. He should be more influential than you in the commune..."

OK! ~~
Faced with such words that hit home.

Father Lu didn't show much of a nervous reaction. He just paused, turned around and glared at his wife, then turned around and walked back to the yard, expressing his agreement with his wife's opinion through his actions.

The mother quickly followed behind, muttering something in a low voice, which I couldn't hear clearly, but it sounded like she was trying to comfort the father who was angry.

Seeing this, Aunt Tieying shook her head and smiled, then followed him into the yard.

Then, she went to her eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and eldest sister, and started chattering and comforting them.

Despite the cold weather, the atmosphere in the Lu family yard was exceptionally lively and bustling.

Lu Yifan did not hesitate and greeted the commune militiaman. The two of them quickly walked out of the yard, rode their bicycles and rushed towards the commune.

The militia of this commune are actually the native villagers of Renhe Village.

However, they are not relatives of the Lu family, but there is a brother in the other family who is now preparing for the college entrance examination with Lu Yifan, so he is very close to Lu Yifan.

The two men rode their bikes on the road, and the commune militia briefly explained what Xu Erhe had done to be caught by the militia, and then sent him to the police station.

It was exactly as my eldest sister had learned when she came back.

Xu Erhe was trying to make a big move and had actually started going door to door buying up gold jewelry.

I heard that they were a group of three or five people, but they were targeted by the militia defense team. Everyone else ran away quickly, but Xu Erhe was caught red-handed. He is now being interrogated at the police station.

Fortunately, the militia told Lu Yifan that when Xu Erhe was caught, no stolen goods were seized.

It seems that in that team, he is just a lackey with no access to money or power.

Yes, my eldest sister’s family has been struggling to make ends meet all year round.

Where does he get the spare money to allow him to go out and do the gold jewelry purchasing business?

"Fanwa, you don't have to be too anxious. Just as Second Aunt said, with your current provincial top scholar status, if you go to the police station and negotiate with Luo Gongan, Luo Gongan should be able to give you some face and maybe even release your brother-in-law on the spot..."

"Well, Dawu, you are so thoughtful. Thank you!"

"Hey, Fanwa, why are you being so polite to me? Besides, your brother-in-law didn't do anything really evil. He just happened to be blocked. Don't take it too seriously. It shouldn't affect your college studies..."

Hearing this, Lu Yifan's heart suddenly tightened.

The speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention.

The background of the times is special, and issues such as origin and political review are still very sensitive. He is a bit of a local figure now, but he is too famous.

What if someone really takes advantage of my brother-in-law and makes a big fuss about this?

Hey, although he also knew that there should be no one in the commune who had the ability to hinder him from going to Beijing to study at university.

After all, I have admission letters from two famous universities in Beijing, Yan University and Tsinghua University.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the worst!
Therefore, my brother-in-law Xu Erhe’s current troubles must be dealt with quickly and properly, and no opportunity for others to find fault with him must be left.

Longyan Commune is about fifteen miles away from Renhe Village.

The two took turns riding along the way.

It didn't take much time and we quickly arrived at the commune police station.

Lu Yifan, the provincial top scholar, is indeed extraordinary.

Saw him enter the police station compound.

Luo Gongan took the initiative to greet him, "Comrade Yifan, I didn't expect you to come here in person. Come on, it's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."

In this era, the number of police officers in township police stations has been reduced to the extreme.

The entire Longyan Commune had seven production brigades under its jurisdiction. Each production brigade was divided into about 10 production groups (each natural village had 1 to 1 production groups). Each production group basically had about 2 households. Based on the average population of 70 people per household, this meant a population base of over 7.

A township commune of this size is only equipped with one police station, and there are usually only 3 to 5 police officers in one police station.

The situation at Longyan Commune Police Station is even more exaggerated, with only two people in the entire station: the director and deputy director.

Then, the chief was on sick leave, which meant that Luo Gongan was the only police officer with a formal position in the entire station.

However, the commune militia defense team is an auxiliary unit at the company level.

Closer to home.

Seeing that Public Security Luo's attitude was easy-going and very respectful.

Lu Yifan also felt secretly relieved. It was obvious that his brother-in-law Xu Erhe had not been found guilty of any other serious crimes such as murder and arson during the trial.

But even so, he was caught in the act of speculation and profiteering.

This is also quite tricky.

After all, the trend of reform and opening up was brewing in the capital.

That epoch-making and crucial meeting would not be successfully held in Beijing until late December 1978.

Entered the house.

At a glance, he saw his brother-in-law Xu Erhe handcuffed to the radiator pipe.

The coward was squatting there on tiptoe with a shameful look on his face.

I saw that it was my brother-in-law who was personally welcomed in by the director with a casual attitude.

There was a gleam in her eyes and she became excited.

He was well-informed and had known for a long time that his brother-in-law was now the top scorer in the science subject of the Qinxi Province College Entrance Examination. A while ago, he did a great favor to the Fu County Red Star Agricultural Machinery Factory, asking the factory to drive a float, beat drums and gongs, and carry a large plaque to send congratulatory gifts to his home in a grand manner.

"Fanwa..."

Xu Erhe grinned and laughed dryly, trying to get close to him.

However, no one had expected that after Lu Yifan entered the room, he walked up to Xu Erhe and kicked him hard, "You bastard, you had a fight with my sister again yesterday, didn't you? You beat up my sister again, didn't you..."

Xu Erhe was stunned immediately.

What's going on? Brother-in-law, you're not here to rescue me, your brother-in-law, but to vent your anger on your sister?
But the problem is, who the hell dares to fight with your sister? I was obviously scratched by your sister, and my face was almost broken. I am the homeless vagrant who was kicked out of the house by your sister...

Even Luo the policeman who came into the room with him was stunned by Lu Yifan's impulsive behavior.

Wow, what’s going on?

Did Xu Er and his grandson domestically abuse the top scholar's sister?
Hey, you are possessed by the unlucky god named Xu!

Luo Gongan, who was originally prepared to let Xu Erhe off for his speculation for the sake of the provincial champion, changed his mind at this moment...
