Siheyuan: Start with a big car

Chapter 103 Cui Dake's Crime
"Twenty people here are carrying sacks, stacking sacks, like building an adobe house, biting stubble, and knocking wooden stakes in front!"

"Where the water is coming out, quickly fill it with mud and make it solid with a shovel, so that the water cannot flow out anymore!"

The embankment of the Xiaobei River is in danger.

Fortunately, Li Weidong had studied emergency rescue and disaster relief in his previous life.

In addition, the embankment of the Xiaobei River did not cut corners.

The members of the commune also tried their best, and even a seven or eight-year-old child rushed up the river embankment carrying stones.

The danger was quickly brought under control.

At this time, God seemed to be merciful to the world, and the rain finally stopped.

Li Weidong was exhausted at this time, his heart relaxed, and he had no strength to stand up anymore, and squatted down in the mud pit.

Cui Shanhe, who had been standing behind him, hurriedly reached out to help him: "Comrade driver, you, are you okay?"

Li Weidong wiped off the rain on his face indiscriminately, looked at the choppy Xiaobei River, and said with a smile: "Serving the people, I'm not tired at all."

Cui Shanhe looked at Li Weidong, who was wet and had mud on his trouser legs, and felt that he should say something grateful.

People could have just stood by and driven their trucks higher up in the village and waited for the water to recede.

Now he is willing to risk his life to help the commune.

But he opened his mouth a few times, but in the end no sound came out.

This kind of kindness is hard to describe in words.

Cui Shanhe turned his head to look at the cheering members: "Cui Daniu, come and carry Comrade Driver back!"

"Ah~ come on, come on! Comrade driver, come on up."

Among the crowd, a thick-looking young man ran over.

He squatted in front of Li Weidong and motioned him to lie on his back.

Of course Li Weidong couldn't go up.

Just kidding, what's the matter with a big man carrying it?

Brokeback Mountain?

If you want to recite it, you have to be your own apprentice-Niu Menglai.

Thinking of Niu Meng, Li Weidong looked around, but couldn't find her, and couldn't help but feel worried.

It has been nearly an hour since Niu Meng went to move the car, and he should be back long ago!
Did something happen?
Just as he was standing up with difficulty while supporting the little tree to look for his apprentice, there was a commotion in the distance.

"Hey, isn't this Cui Dake? Why were you tied up?"

"Hmph, of course he did something he shouldn't have done, aunt, have you seen my master?"

"Comrade driver, over there, he seems too tired to stand up, and the secretary is looking for someone to carry him!"

"Ah, Master can't stand up. Master! Master!"

Accompanied by a burst of urgent calls, a slender figure ran wildly from the crowd.

The embankment was slippery, and the figure almost slipped several times, but he didn't slow down, and staggered to Li Weidong.

Niu Meng's little face was full of tension, and she was relieved when she saw Li Weidong standing there well.

"Master, are you alright?"

"What could be the matter, but you, what's going on?" Li Weidong pointed to Cui Dake who was tied up like a rice dumpling.

Cui Dake has turned into a mud figure at this time.

The pants, cotton jacket, face, and head were all covered with mud;

His nose was still bruised and his face was swollen, with bright red blood stains hanging from the corner of his mouth, and several strands of his hair had been pulled out.

It looked like he had rolled eighteen times in the mud pit just now, and then was ruthlessly trampled by a group of sturdy men.

Niu Meng was still immersed in the nervousness just now. It was the first time she was so worried about others when she grew up.

Even when she was a child, Niu Yong was surrounded by seven or eight green skins and beat her, she was never so nervous.

It's like the closest person is in danger.

Niu Meng's little head couldn't figure it out, and in the end she could only attribute this emotion to the fact that the master was her closest person.

Hearing Li Weidong's words, she froze for a moment before replying, "Cui Dake, when I moved the car just now, I found Cui Dake hiding under the truck. He must be trying to steal food."

Cui Dake was beaten up several times by Niu Meng along the way.

If you walk too slowly, you will get a stick, and if you walk too fast, you will get a stick too.

In the end, he could only walk side by side with Niu Meng. Niu Meng actually said that his right foot was raised higher than his left foot, and gave him a stick on his leg.

Nima, you are a weasel, you are a weasel, can you see so clearly?

Cui Dake had been holding back his anger for a long time, but he was afraid of being beaten, so he didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing that Cui Shanmin was also next to him, he gained confidence, stiffened his neck and said:

"Little driver, don't talk nonsense.

I was hiding under a truck from the rain, not stealing food at all.

Besides, you didn't find food from me!
I know that you city people have always looked down on us old farmers.

But you can't frame me for it. "

Cui Dake's scheming is not poisonous.

A few words not only cleared up the suspicion, but also pushed Li Weidong and Niu Meng to the opposite of the commune members.

For 5000 years in China, farmers have always been at the bottom of society, even in this fairest age.

This unfairness will inevitably lead to discrimination.

Whether you admit it or not, this discrimination has always existed.

This is exactly the so-called pick up the bowl to eat, put down the chopsticks and scold your mother.

The members of the commune frowned when they heard the words, and it was really too much to say that members of the commune stole things without evidence.

His uncle Cui Shanmin also took the opportunity to walk up to Cui Shanhe and said, "Secretary, although he has done some stupid things over the years, he is also a child we have grown up with. His nature is not bad. How could he steal disaster relief?" What about the food! That is the lifeblood of all our members!"

After finishing speaking, he walked up to Niu Meng again: "Little comrade, you must have misunderstood, but your spirit of vigilance is worth learning from all our members, don't you think so!"

After these words, Niu Meng hesitated for a while. She was eager to show off to her master, but there was really no evidence.

Li Weidong almost applauded the two uncles and nephews in his heart, not only clearing up the suspicion, but also giving the other party a step down.

However, Li Weidong was not as good at fooling around as Niu Meng. He stretched out his hand and pulled Niu Meng behind him, looking at Cui Shanhe: "Accountant Cui, has the food been lost? Let's go back and check."

"Okay, Driver Li is more considerate." Cui Dake couldn't wait to answer without waiting for Accountant Cui to say anything.

He just stole two or three hundred catties of grain.

Compared with the tons of grain in the warehouse, it is inconspicuous at all.

Besides, even if Li Weidong found out that there was a shortage of food, he could ask Cui Shanmin to explain it with loss.

Big deal, after we escaped this catastrophe, give Cui Shanmin more food.

Cui Shanhe, the secretary of the commune who has been silent all this time, nodded: "I think Driver Li's suggestion is very good, we big guys don't rest anymore, we will all go to the commune after we go back, and we must investigate the matter clearly."

The secretary of the commune made a final decision, and the villagers who returned to the village didn't care about washing up, so they dragged their families to the commune with their mouths.

For a time, the commune was full.

Cui Daniu found some firewood from the big dining hall of the commune, tied it with rags, poured a little kerosene, and made more than a dozen torches.

In the dark night, the Nantai Commune is brightly lit.

Cui Shanmin grabbed the corner of Li Weidong's clothes: "Comrade driver, let's check if there is no food left? You should have an account book, and it will be clear after checking it."

Li Weidong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry."

Under Cui Shanmin's surprised eyes and Cui Dake's terrified eyes, he got under the truck and searched with a flashlight.

Cui Dake would not hide under the truck for no reason, he must want to steal something.

And there happened to be one thing on the truck that was more precious than food, and that was gasoline.

Stealing gasoline is not as simple as stealing food. It needs tools.

When the dim flashlight slid across the ground, Li Weidong found a strange thing, he pinched it lightly, and was immediately amused.

Genius, Cui Dake is indeed a genius, he even thought of using pig urine foam to steal gasoline.

In later generations, oil thieves used soft hoses, inserted one end of the hose into the fuel tank, and sucked the other end of the hose deeply.

The oil will enter the container from the oil tank along the soft hose under the action of the siphon principle.

But in this era, the price of plastic is extremely expensive, and soft rubber hose is even more difficult to obtain.

Cui Dake used pig urine foam to make a simple soft hose.

Seeing Li Weidong pinching the pig urine bubble, Cui Dake's face suddenly turned pale.

He suppressed his panic, and smiled calmly: "Hey, pig urine bubbles, whose child is such a spoiled thing, throwing such a good thing under the car."

Li Weidong held the pig urine bubble in front of Cui Dake, and said with a smile: "I said, this pig urine bubble is yours, do you admit it?"

"What? Mine, it's impossible, it's absolutely impossible, I'm such an adult, and I still play pig urine foam!" Cui Dake repeatedly denied it.

"Okay, don't you admit it?" Li Weidong handed the pig urine foam to the commune secretary Cui Shanhe, "Comrade Secretary, smell it, what does the pig urine foam smell like?"

Cui Shanhe sniffed, his eyes widened suddenly: "The smell of gasoline, a strong smell of gasoline!"

Li Weidong pointed to Cui Dake again: "Please ask the secretary to smell Cui Dake's mouth."

This request seemed absurd, Cui Shanhe seemed to have understood something and did not refuse.

He walked up to Cui Dake and sniffed it.

His face suddenly turned cold: "The smell of gasoline, Cui Dake's mouth smells of gasoline!"

Pointing at Cui Dake, he shouted loudly: "You, you dare to steal gasoline!"

Cui Dake wants to cry but has no tears.

When he was discovered by Niu Meng, he was stealing oil, and there was no time to destroy the evidence.

Cui Dake felt so wronged that such a small mistake was discovered by others.

He was 14 years old and was able to steal a cow by himself without being discovered.

Did it just fall like this?
Cui Dake looked at Li Weidong in disbelief.

No normal person would think that pig urine bubbles are used to steal oil. Is this product unpredictable?
However, he no longer cares about making trouble for Li Weidong, because Cui Shanhe's big slap has already been slapped.

"Snapped!"

Cui Dake was so slapped that his eyes were full of gold stars, and he was almost slapped on the spot.

"Shame! What a shame! Our Nantai commune has always been an excellent commune, yet a thief came out!" Cui Shanhe shouted at the top of his voice, "Our old Cui family has been innocent for generations, how could such a bastard come out."

"I, Old Cui, have let down the trust of the leaders of the rolling mill this time!"

Cui Dake actually stole the oil from the counterpart support unit. If the rolling mill finds out, it might cancel the support relationship.

At that time, it will be the commune members who will suffer.

Of course, Li Weidong was not going to put the issue on the line, and said: "Secretary Cui, Cui Dake stealing oil is his personal problem. It has nothing to do with the commune, and it has nothing to do with you, the secretary."

"And, I think, Cui Dake is so bold and dared to steal oil, so he should have done a lot of bad things before, right?"

Seeing Li Weidong's meaningful eyes, Cui Shanhe immediately understood that this driver wanted to punish Cui Dake!

Although he didn't know the grievances between the two, Cui Shanhe made the most favorable choice in an instant.

"Yes, yes, it is said that family ugliness should not be publicized. I should have kept it a secret. Today I am going to kill my relatives righteously. Cui Dake once stole the cattle from the commune a few years ago, and he often brought home the sweet potatoes in the field!"

Li Weidong said: "Without evidence, I'm afraid you can't do it alone!"

Cui Shanhe was stunned.

Hearing this, Comrade Driver is planning to magnify the problem and kill Cui Dake.

He couldn't help turning his eyes to Cui Shanmin.

Cui Shanmin is Cui Dake's uncle and Cui Dake's backer.

In Nantai Commune, Cui Shanmin has a huge power.

He has eight sons and fifteen nephews. Most people dare not provoke Cui Shanmin, even Cui Shanhe would stay away.

Li Weidong saw through his worries, and whispered: "Comrade Secretary, do you think that the reason why Cui Dake dared to steal oil is because someone instigated him!"

Cui Shanhe's eyes lit up!

A commune can only have one voice. He has long wanted to oust Cui Shanmin, but unfortunately he failed after several attempts.

The reason is simple. The members of the commune are afraid of Cui Shanmin's strong family and labor force, and they are unwilling to make enemies with Cui Shanmin, and there is no one to support Cui Shanhe.

It's different now. Although Li Weidong is only a driver, he represents the rolling mill.

If Cui Shanhe can be found out, then Cui Shanmin will definitely be involved.

Cui Shanhe is a decisive person.

After making a decision, he immediately picked up the tin horn and shouted loudly:
"Everyone must have heard what Driver Li said. Cui Dake has done all kinds of crimes in our commune. Now it's time to expose his crimes. I hope everyone can let go of their psychological burden and speak freely."

Cui Shanmin, Cui Dake's uncle, was hesitant to save Cui Dake, but when he heard Cui Shanhe's shout, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

What Cui Dake has done in these years is enough for him to be shot, and Cui Dake will definitely bite himself out by then.

Cui Shanmin also shouted quickly, he didn't have a tin horn, so he could only clasp his hands: "Well, Secretary Cui's words are very reasonable, but after all, Cui Dake is a child we watched growing up, we should give him a chance to reform himself, Did the big guys say it?"

"Yes, Cui Da is from his own family. He should be sentenced to a few years for stealing oil. He deserves it. There is no need to die!"

In the crowd, Cui Shanmin's sons and nephews echoed.

And those members were silent.

Seeing this situation, Cui Da came back to life in an instant.

He was just stealing oil, and he hadn't succeeded yet. Even if he was locked up, it would only take two or three years at most.

When the time comes to get out of the fence, relying on his ability, he will make a comeback and leap into the dragon's gate, and it will be easy to catch.

When he was introduced, the first thing he wanted to take revenge on was the driver.

How could Li Weidong make him happy? His sharp eyes swept over the faces of the members one by one: "Cui Dake can steal oil today, and chicken, pig, and even people tomorrow. Sooner or later, the reputation of Nantai Commune will be ruined by him." Corruption, when the time comes, I see, the rolling mill should reconsider its support relationship."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a sudden gasp in the commune.

In recent years, Nantai Commune has been able to live better than other communes because of the support of the rolling mill and machinery factory.

If Cui Dake lost the support of the rolling mill, it would be a big loss.

Besides, Cui Dake has indeed done a lot of bad things these years, and the masses all hate him!

Soon, someone stood up, and he was Cui Qingming, the highest seniority in the village.

"Some people don't want others to talk, and everyone is afraid. I am half buried in the loess, and I am not afraid. Cui Dake once picked up the sweet potatoes at the east end of the village, and I saw it with my own eyes."

Cui Qingming's words were like firecrackers that ignited the fuse, and the crowd stepped forward to expose Cui Dake's crimes.

"The year before last, Cui Dake stole cotton from the commune."

"I saw Cui Dake lying in front of the window of Widow Wang's house, peeping inside."

"Cui Dake touched Erni's ass."

"I saw Cui Dake stealing cattle. He threatened me not to tell the outside world, or he would beat me up."
