Chapter Seventeen: Losing Out in Trying to Steal a Chicken

  After the joint performance of the commune and the county, Secretary Zhou Jianguo of the brigade came to Kang Zuobao's home more frequently at night, while being with Xia Ke, he was thinking about Yu Yueyue.

  Although Yu Yu was thirty-five or six years old, she was much older than Xia Ke, but the women of Jiangnan water town were born with a natural beauty. The rich cultural and artistic heritage, her appearance, temperament, and charm, using national color fragrance, sinking fish and geese, and city-overturning to describe are not enough, let alone can be compared with Xia Ke who was average in appearance and had not even graduated from high school yet.

  As soon as Zhou Jianguo thought of Yu Yue's delicate face, bright and beautiful eyes, towering chest, slender waist and extremely sexy buttocks, he couldn't control himself and almost went wild.

  Although Zhou Jianguo was a lecher, he was extremely capable among the rural grassroots cadres. After Old Secretary Yu Xinen was overthrown, Zhou Jianguo completely grasped the leadership power of the production team. Since then, Yu Xinen would only appear at the memorial service and deliver a eulogy when an old party member in the production team passed away.

  Yu Songyuan clearly remembered that the old secretary's eulogy was usually like this:

  "Some people are alive, but they're already dead. Some people have died, yet live on in the hearts of the masses. Some people die as lightly as a feather, while others die as heavily as Mount Tai. Communists are those who forever live in the hearts of the people, and die as heavily as Mount Tai. XXX was just such a pure communist, let us remember him forever!"

  After Zhou Jianguo took office, he vigorously grasped the movement and spared no effort in grasping production. He organized the labor force of the entire brigade to dig canals and bring water, thoroughly curing the saline-alkali land, leading the whole brigade's agriculture to learn from Dazhai, and is an unforgettable leader in the history of Yujiacun Village. Also because of his ability and political performance, later, he was promoted to the leadership position of commune secretary before retiring.

  Many years later, although Zhou Jianguo's harassment of Yuemei and Wang Feng made Yuxuan resent him to the bone. To be honest, Zhou Jianguo back then was indeed much better than some grassroots officials in the early 21st century. In the face of the misdeeds of a small number of officials today, such as keeping mistresses, embezzling hundreds of millions or even billions of yuan, Zhou Jianguo's past petty thefts and adulteries were actually nothing.

  Her beauty was unattainable, driving him crazy. He often rode his bike slowly past the big road in front of Yuemonth's house before doing business with Xiaoke, even if he couldn't see her elegant figure, just looking at the thatched cottage where she lived would get him excited quickly.

  He repeatedly went to the propaganda team under the pretext of caring about their work, just to catch a glimpse of Yuè Yuè's beautiful face when she was dressed up. Because, in the years since her demotion, Yuè Yuè had learned to protect herself and never gave him a straight look, plus the protection of Xū Xīn Hé and Xū Xīn Mín, he couldn't get his hands on her. He hated the Xū Xīn brothers, but there was nothing he could do about it.

  He knew that Yu Xinhe and Yu Xinmin had a reputation for their bloody battles with the Japanese, and they had prestige among the Yu family villagers. Against them, this secretary might not be able to win over the two Yu brothers. Zhou Jianguo was a very politically savvy person, he would absolutely not do something as reckless and uncertain as this.

  Yu Yuemeng went to the commune to perform, and the leader of the performing team was Li Wen, the eldest daughter-in-law of Yu Xinhai. Yu Yuemeng's son and four other young boys followed closely behind her. Even when Yu Yuemeng went to the toilet, they waited outside for her. Moreover, these little brats could beat up three or five tall and strong militiamen, making Zhou Jianguo not dare to provoke her.

  Zhou Jianguo vented all his desires for Yuèyuè on young Xiàkě, and at first, the naturally ** Xiàkě was overjoyed. But for a whole week, every night was like this, and sometimes, even in broad daylight, they would dare to ** openly.

  Every time after having sex with Secretary Zhang, Secretary Kang would become more excited and torment her even more cruelly, sometimes even intentionally destroying her. She couldn't take it anymore. She knew that while Secretary Zhang was playing with her body, he was thinking of the beautiful young woman Yu Yueyue in his heart. So she came up with an idea for Secretary Zhang.

  Xia Ke had another reason for coming up with this idea, and that was hatred. Originally, she had hoped to be transferred to the commune's propaganda team through her performance, which would allow her to take a step closer to her ultimate goal of returning to the city. This way, she could break free from Zhou Jianguo and Kang Zuobao and no longer be their plaything. In fact, it was precisely because of Xia Ke's careful planning that Zhou Hongmei had fallen into Zhou Jianguo's hands.

  She resented Yu Yue for blocking her way back to the city. She resented Yu Yue for not teaching her with a true heart, knowing that she had no artistic foundation and couldn't compare to an expert like Yu Yue. However, she was confident that she wasn't inferior to Zhou Hongmei. If Yu Yue had truly helped her, she wouldn't have performed so badly.

  She wants to make the proud Yu Yueyue become someone like her, become Zhou Jianguo's plaything, see how you can still be proud?

  Xia Ke explained his plan, and Zhou Jianguo thought for a moment before smiling. But thinking deeper, he frowned again, what about those little rascals following behind? Just as he was worried, Zhou Kun came to ask him to settle his own embarrassing affair, so Zhou Jianguo told Zhou Kun about Xia Ke's plan.

  The two of them hit it off immediately, and Zhou Kun didn't even think about it before saying, "This is easy to handle, leave it to me." Zhou Jianguo said: "As long as you help me make this a good thing, I'll help you deal with San Kui's affairs."

  A week after the commune's joint performance and county-level performance, the brigade held a celebration meeting to announce that each meritorious person would be rewarded with 100 work points. Mainly meritorious personnel also received additional rewards. However, the specific material reward content was not publicly disclosed.

  In the evening, the brigade sponsored four tables of celebratory wine at Xia Ke's home. Xia Ke's home is just about 100 meters behind the brigade headquarters, and the brigade generally holds its reception activities in her home. For Xia Ke's family, it was a kind of welfare; for the brigade, it was convenient.

  After the meeting, everyone went directly to Xia Ke's house for dinner. The wine was, of course, the local sweet potato wine. Yu Yueyue, being a southerner, didn't drink strong liquor and no one could persuade her otherwise. So Li Wen suggested allowing Yu Yueyue to substitute with plain water instead. Before taking their seats, Yu Yueyue took a glance around but didn't see Yu Songyuan or Shu Tong's figures - where had these two gone running off to in the past couple of days? But since Li Wen was present, she didn't pay it much mind.

  Li Wen, being the leader of the propaganda team and a strong woman, was quickly surrounded by people and had a few more drinks without noticing what happened to Yuemonth at another table. At the same time, due to the large number of people present, Li Wen's vigilance also relaxed. She completely forgot about the tasks that her husband and wife had entrusted to her.

  Xia Ke had secretly put sleeping pills in Yu Yue's tea cup. As a result, everyone else was fine after drinking, but Yu Yue became drunk after just drinking water. She started to feel dizzy and soon couldn't sit still, holding her head. Everyone began teasing her, and she suddenly thought that maybe someone had tricked her, but by then her consciousness was already starting to blur. Zhou Jianguo said: "Maybe Little Yu has been too tired from work lately, Xia Ke can just send Little Yu in to rest for a bit."

  Xia Ke will then accompany the Secretary to the east wing of the house, to her bedroom, to rest for a while, before returning to the banquet table and winking at the Secretary.

  Did it? Zhou Jianguo's face was expressionless, but his heart was bursting with joy, and he quietly set up a large canopy below.

  When the wine table is about to begin, Yu Songyuan and "Xi Shi" are still standing in the yard. During the day, a popcorn master came to the village, Wang Feng aunt spent one cent, and burst into four large basins of sweet popcorn, which was shared by the family. At this moment, they both had bulging pockets of popcorn, eating while watching the dynamics on the table from afar.

  Since it was in the village, only two "bodyguards" came tonight. Zhou Kun suddenly walked over to Shu Tong and said: "The production team gave your mother five kilograms of pork and fifty kilograms of rice, come with me to the production team office to get them."

  Shu Tong followed him, and Zhou Kun turned his head to Yu Songyuan and said: "He can't take it alone, you come too." Yu Songyuan turned his head and took a look. The banquet had opened four tables, plus the onlookers, so many people shouldn't be in trouble, so he also followed him.

  When they arrived at the battalion headquarters, only the militia regiment commander was on duty. Upon hearing that they had come to collect their prize, he said to Zhou Kun, "You'll have to wait a bit, the pig has been slaughtered and the meat will be delivered in just a few minutes." This wait ended up lasting over half an hour before it finally arrived. The two of them then took the things and were about to head back to Comrade Kang's home to wait for Yuemonth.

  Zhou Kun said: "This reward is of an internal nature, the masses do not know. Taking things to let the masses see is not good, you send them back home and come again."

  Hearing him say this, Yu Songyuan's heart skipped a beat and he felt a little flustered.

  He didn't bother to respond to Zhou Kun, picked up the things and pulled Shu Tong to quickly run towards Kang Zuobao's house. When they arrived at the door, Yu Yuemei was no longer on the table, so he knew that something had gone wrong. Since there were two tables set in the west wing and two tables set in the main hall, Yu Songyuan handed the rice bag to "Xi Shi" and directly lifted the curtain to enter the east wing.

  Many people gathered around, and no one noticed Yu Songyuan entering the east wing room.

  After Xia Ke gave the signal, Zhou Jianguo represented the squadron to toast the propaganda team with two cups of wine, and then excused himself to go to the bathroom, sneaking into the east wing room. At this moment, Yu Yueyue was lying on her back on the bed, sleeping very soundly, his heart filled with a thrill of excitement.

  His blood rushed, his whole body trembling, he first rubbed her high chest for a while, then leaned on her body, greedily kissing her small mouth. After a while, he lifted Yu Yu's outer clothes, pushed up her bra, and passionately kissed her breasts. Having kissed enough, he slowly untied Yu Yu's belt and slid it down.

  Although he was blinded by anger, he suddenly felt a strong gust of wind coming and was shocked. He hastily dodged but it was too late. A heavy palm struck the back of his neck, and he knew nothing more.

  Yu Songyuan entered the east room, under the lamp light, he only saw a stout man, who was pulling down Yuemei's pants. His brain exploded with anger, and with 50% of his strength, he slapped the man to the ground. Zhou Jianguo thudded, softly collapsing onto Yuemei's body, and slowly slid to the floor in front of the bed.

  This is a slow motion, after Zhou Jianguo fell to the ground, Yu Songyuan kicked him again with hatred.

  With this slap, Yu Songyuan was intentionally reserved. If it wasn't for that family law education, the hot-blooded young Yu Songyuan would have definitely used more force, and perhaps another disaster would have been triggered.

  He hastily helped Yu Yuemo pull up her pants and tidy up her clothes. Then he lifted her onto his shoulder and walked out the door. At this moment, inside the main house, the banquet was still going on fiercely, with people surrounding the wine-drinking competition in a circle, no one noticing them. When they reached the outside of the door, Shu Tong held meat and rice in one hand and stretched out the other to help, and the two of them supported Yu Yuemo as she left Xia Ke's house.

  Outside, the moonlight is like water. Some people are smoking and chatting, but no one pays attention to them. Someone else laughs, "Look, another one has fallen." In rural areas, being drunk and helped away is nothing out of the ordinary, not embarrassing at all.

  Yueyue, who had fallen asleep, was very heavy. Shu Tong still held the meat and rice in his hands, but couldn't muster up the strength. Yu Songyuan then carried Yueyue on his back and struggled to walk home. "Xishi" said: "If you're tired, let me take over, don't force yourself."

  "Are you stronger than me?"

  "Even if she's weak, I still have to carry her on my back. She's my mom and I'm her son," said Xi Shi.

  "She's not my mom, and I'm not her son, why should I work hard for her?"
