Chapter 253: Revealing Yan Bugui's Background

The three siblings saw Jia Zhang standing at the door of her house, with her hands on her waist, holding a rolling pin and pointing at Yan Bugui and cursing.

"That's not what I meant. I think that's what you meant.
Otherwise, why did you ask our Dongxu to join the army and go to the front line? Don't you want our Jia family to be extinct?"

Looking at the thick rolling pin in Jia Zhang's hand, Yan Bugui waved his hand hastily.

He quickly explained,
"Mrs. Zhang, I really didn't mean that.
I saw many young factory workers and school students outside holding banners and red flags, petitioning the State Council to join the army and fight in the war!

Dongxu from your family is a young worker in a steel rolling mill, which is a state-owned factory.

Shouldn't he also sign up for the army as actively as everyone else?"

Hearing Yan Bugui talking about the situation outside, Jia Zhang frowned and said sternly,

"He dares!
We only have this one child in our family. If he dies on the battlefield, our Jia family will be extinct. I will fight to the death with anyone who dares to agree to let our Dongxu join the army!
I warn you Yan Bugui,
If you dare to persuade our Dongxu to join the army,

Tonight I will bring firewood and set your house on fire, and we will die together."

Just at this time, Yi Zhonghai and his men also came back from get off work. When they heard Jia Zhang threatening to set fire to the house again, they immediately felt overwhelmed.
So he immediately asked,

"What are you doing? What happened? You want to burn the house down? Can't you discuss it properly?"

Seeing Yi Zhonghai and other steel mill workers appear at the Chuihua Gate, Jia Zhang immediately asked the three managers to seek justice.

"Old Yi, you three are back just in time.
This damned old Yan actually wanted to persuade our Dongxu to join the army.

Do you think I should scold him?
If anything happens to our Dongxu on the front line, do you think I should burn down his house?"

Seeing Jia Zhang pointing at Yan Bugui with a rolling pin in anger and talking about today's volunteering activity, Yi Zhonghai's head became even bigger.
Just when he didn't know how to explain to Jia Zhang,
Then I heard Liu Haizhong next to me say with a smile,

"Mrs. Zhang,

You are wrongly accusing Old Yan.
Today, when the young workers from the steel mill went to find the military representatives to sign up, if Old Yi hadn't stopped them in time, your Dongxu would have already gone to sign up with those young people.

This can't be said to be that Old Yan was the one who instigated your Dongxu to join the army and go to the front line,
How can I instigate this when I haven’t even seen the person yet?”

After hearing Liu Haizhong say that Jia Dongxu also planned to join the army, but was stopped by Yi Zhonghai,
Yan Bugui immediately became confident and confronted Jia Zhang.

"Mrs. Zhang, you see, I haven't said anything yet. Your Dongxu wanted to join the army on his own, and you can't say that it was me who instigated him!

This has nothing to do with me. You can't blame me no matter how much you blame me.

You have to apologize to me!"

It can only be said that Yan Bugui's idea was too good, but at this time, Jia Zhangshi had no time to care whether he was wronged or not.
When Jia Zhang heard Liu Haizhong say that her son wanted to join the army, she was immediately scared to death.
Then he looked at his son and said,

"Dongxu, you can't have such thoughts. Bullets don't have eyes. If you go to the front line, you might die at any time.

What will you let me do then? I won’t even be able to face your father after I die.”

Seeing Jia Zhang's worried look, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Mom, I really don't want to go.
I was just chatting with my co-workers after lunch today, and I don't know how I got carried away by what they were saying.

If the master hadn't stopped me, I might have really gone." After Jia Dongxu finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai also said with a smile,

"Mrs. Zhang, Dongxu is only 18 or 9 years old now. He is at an age where he is easily overwhelmed. It is normal for him to be led astray by a few words.
I have already told him to stop hanging out with those youngsters.
So as not to let others lead you away again."

When Jia Zhang heard her son say that he almost signed up for the army and it was not his intention, she immediately felt relieved. Otherwise, she would have to spend a lot of effort to persuade her son to stop.

Then he began to thank Yi Zhonghai,

"Thank you, Lao Yi. If you hadn't stopped me, Dong Xu would have signed up.
If I am really selected, I don’t know what to do.”

Seeing Jia Zhang's relaxed look, and thinking about how she had just threatened him with a rolling pin and wrongly accused him, and then she didn't even apologize to him,
Yan Bugui immediately said bluntly,

"Mrs. Zhang, Lao Yi, your ideological awareness is too low.

So many young people in Beiping are actively signing up to join the army, why are you stopping Dongxu from joining the army?

Is this how you report back to the State Council?

Isn’t this just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others’ labor? "

But as soon as Yan Bugui finished speaking, Jia Zhang immediately retorted without hesitation.

“Yo yo yo!

You, Yan Bugui, still know what it means to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others’ labor!
Before liberation, when teachers in schools often took to the streets to protest and fight for their rights, I never saw you go.

When it comes to receiving benefits, you are the most active one in school.
You are just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of your labor,
How dare you talk about us here? Do you have the guts to say that? "

"you!"

Seeing Yan Bugui, who had just spoken righteously, was so angry that he couldn't speak after being exposed, Jia Zhang immediately continued triumphantly,
"What are you!

Isn’t what I said true?

In the 20 years before liberation, how many teachers and students in Beijing died and how many were injured in their fight for their rights?

Only you, Yan Bugui, have not lost a single piece of skin in the past 20 years.
How dare you say that I'm just reaping the benefits.

I won't let our Dongxu join the army, what can you do to me? You're talking nonsense to me, get the hell out of here."

The old neighbors of the courtyard house are well aware of what Yan Bugui has done over the years.
Only the new neighbors were not very familiar with me.

But seeing that he was now speechless due to Jia Zhang's rebuke, he immediately knew that what Jia Zhang said was true, so he immediately burst into laughter.

Seeing that his neighbors were laughing at him, Yan Bugui, who had his true identity exposed, felt like he had been stripped naked.
His face looked worse and worse.

I really turned around and looked at He Yuzhu who was happily eating melon at the door of the main room.

"Zhu Zi, you are an active member of the branch and you know a lot. Please judge for me whether what Zhang Saozi and Lao Yi did was wrong!

Jia Dongxu wants to sign up to join the army, should they support him?"
