Chapter 128 Anyone who works for the people is a good comrade of ours.
"Let's go, I have something to tell you." Tong Yuheng followed him out of the office. For the past month or so, he hadn't gone to the black market himself, leaving his brothers in charge.
"Has anyone been following you lately? Someone from an ancient martial arts family? Have they tried to harm you?"
Arriving at a small storage room, Zheng Yunqing opened the door, and the two went inside. This was for his own use, and there were chairs inside.
"Someone has been following me recently, but they were stopped by the people my grandfather sent, and they didn't harm me. Sister Dong, the pills you gave me are all sold out. Many people bought them for fifty or one hundred yuan a pack."
"Oh, that's not some particularly potent medicine. I'm worried those people might cause you trouble, so maybe you shouldn't sell it yet," Dong Wuyou said.
"That medicine is already amazing, it would be a shame not to sell it. Someone has already come to me to pre-order it! My dad used it and said it was great, that stuff strengthens the kidneys and improves health..." This kid really sold out his dad.
"I'm not here to sell anything, but to give you some self-defense powder. This is a sleeping potion, effective even against those with martial arts skills; just sprinkle it on when you need it. This is a power-dissolving powder, which will instantly render someone powerless; and this is a pain-relieving powder, to use when questioning someone..."
The usage is the same, just be careful not to get it on yourself. The antidote is very difficult to make.
"These medicines are for my self-defense? Hahaha, thank you so much, Sister Dong. I'll be much safer going out now. By the way, my grandfather wants to invite you to our house. He took the pills you gave him and he's as strong as an ox. He wants to thank you."
"I'm glad you don't blame me for causing you trouble," Tong Yuheng said.
"How could that be? We Zheng family members are absolutely not the kind of people who forget kindness. Oh, the tractor you asked me to get last time has been obtained. All the parts are there, but you'll have to assemble it yourself. It's stored in the same place as before. Be careful when you go there..."
"Okay, I'll go get it myself. If anyone looks for me, just ask them to leave their address, and I'll go see them." Tong Yuheng wanted to see these people again and also wanted to know what his true strength was.
After leaving Zheng Yunqing's factory, she hid in her spatial dimension, changed into her original clothes, and took some gifts to Gu Zhitao's house, where she had lunch.
Uncle Gu told her not to run around, because things have been really bad lately, and someone has reported that his uncle isn't reforming himself properly, is continuing to conduct counter-revolutionary research, and has even infiltrated our revolutionary ranks, etc...
They're already preparing to send investigators to the military base to investigate her uncle and aunt. Others might not come back for a year or two, but she's made three trips in the last six months; it's inevitable that people will be jealous and report her.
Tong Yuheng nodded in agreement. Uncle Gu had already violated discipline by telling her this information, and she couldn't cause him any more trouble. She had originally planned to visit Director Zhang and Chen Liying, but decided against it.
Chen Liying writes her at least one letter a month, gossiping about the people and things happening around her. She says that Fan Yaqing recently tried to seduce Xu He again, but got beaten up by Xu He's two older sisters. That little policeman even sided with her—what an idiot!
However, that guy got criticized by his boss and was transferred to a more distant area, making it inconvenient for him to date Fan Yaqing anymore. Fan Yaqing is such a bad influence; anyone who gets involved with her is doomed!
After listening to Tong Yuheng's advice, Teacher Zhong and his colleagues took the initiative to apply for teaching support in rural areas a few months ago, and were assigned to teach at a middle school in a rural commune in western province.
After they settled down, they wrote to Tong Yuheng to let her know what had happened. They were very glad that they had listened to her and left Yan City early.
I heard that some of their colleagues were sent to farms in the Northeast and Northwest, where conditions were extremely harsh and they were subjected to criticism and struggle sessions. At least they still have jobs and can teach and educate people, so they are very content.
Tong Yuheng came to Yan City, and Li Chengsong would definitely know. Since the two were in a relationship, it wouldn't be right for her not to pay a visit, so she prepared some local products to take with her and see the Li family.
She secretly collected the tractor parts that Zheng Yunqing had obtained, and then, along with some dried mushrooms and seafood, went to visit the Li family.
The dried mushrooms were also produced in her space; she had specially dug up the mycelium to cultivate them after planting a patch of saplings in her space.
She can't keep seafood in her space yet; these are all things she traded for at the beach near Chenjiatun. They can survive in her space for a while, and she can take them out when she wants to eat them.
Inside the space was a large tank filled with seawater. As long as it wasn't a deep-sea fish, a few drops of spiritual spring water could keep it alive for ten days or so. This was how she brought the gifts for the Gu and Li families.
The Li family has a refrigerator, one of those big things imported from the Soviet Union in the 1950s or 60s. It's quite durable and is said to last for more than 20 years without breaking down.
The Li family welcomed her warmly and busied themselves preparing a room for her. That evening, they even cooked her favorite dishes. After dinner, Grandpa Li couldn't resist inviting her to his study on the second floor to talk about his previous poisoning incident.
"I never imagined that the younger generation I had chosen would betray the country and the people. How can he face his sacrificed father like this!"
Grandpa Li spoke with deep sorrow about the younger generation who had given him stones and almost caused his death. He had always taken good care of this younger generation, and to outsiders, he could be considered a member of the Li family, like the old man's godson.
But for the sake of power and status, he actually went so far as to murder an elder who had cared for him so much; he was truly heartless and treacherous.
Not only does he want to kill Old Master Li, but his next plan is to kill Li Chengsong, causing the death of the only boy in the Li family, and then send his son to the Li family to be adopted so that he can inherit the Li family's connections and everything!
Hehehe, what a clever plan!
Many people have been uncovered through his connections. The recent tense situation is also related to this matter, because there are other victims, all of whom are people in very important positions.
"Grandpa Li, you don't need to be sad about this kind of person. You should be glad that this cancer was removed early, otherwise our losses would have been even greater!"
"You're right, you've done a great job this time! Hahaha, once this is over, Grandpa will recommend you for credit."
"Grandpa Li, I don't care about merit or not, but my uncle and aunt work in the military and are labeled as reactionary academic authorities. Could you please look at their work performance and remove that label as well?"
As a member of the military, Mr. Li has a say in this matter. Based on his aunt and uncle's behavior, they should be treated like regular staff members.
"I'll send someone to investigate this matter and coordinate with the research institute in the military. Anyone who works for the people is a good comrade!"
"Whether it works out or not, our whole family thanks you!"
