Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

"Don't kill! There's nothing for the Mid-Autumn Festival. If you want meat, go buy it outside with your own money."

Don't blame Zheng Hu for not giving him a good look; any commune member who asks that question is just plain stupid.

Therefore, no supplies were distributed within the team during this holiday, and everyone quietly spent the holiday together.

The first day after the holiday.

The newly arrived commune director came to Xiatang Brigade to inspect the work. He didn't care about the autumn harvest, but only about whether the brigade had eliminated Fang Wei's pernicious influence.

"Fang Wei, relying on his own abilities, disobeyed orders from his superiors and acted arbitrarily in the brigade. Do you think we wouldn't grow crops without him? Let me tell you, what he did was just to win people over, which is extremely wrong."

This was another guy who loved to label people, but no matter how eloquently he spoke, the members remained completely indifferent.

But when he started criticizing Fang Wei, some people below objected: "Bullshit! Without the rice seeds that Secretary Fang developed, you'd still be eating sweet potatoes every day."

"Exactly! What is this nonsense? You say they're trying to win people over, but give us commune members something real!"

"Let me tell you, it's because of people like you that we haven't been able to eat a single piece of meat during the holidays. If you're so capable, give each of us 10 jin of meat. If you can't do that, then shut up."

To be honest, the reactions of these members had nothing to do with Zheng Hu and others; they were all spontaneous actions on their own.

The meeting descended into chaos, and in the end, the members voted with their feet, picking up their chairs and leaving behind a mess of sunflower seed shells.

Director Xin of the commune was so angry that he was trembling. He pointed at Zheng Hu and cursed, "Look at the bunch of troublemakers under your command!"

"Say that again, you son of a bitch? They are all upright members of the commune, and you call them troublemakers? Let's go to the county right now and let everyone judge what kind of trash you are."

Zheng Hu stood up abruptly and also began to curse loudly.

Then the cadres of the brigade chimed in, and the scene immediately descended into chaos.

in the afternoon.

The news about the "troublemaker" reached the county level, nearly driving the newly arrived Director Yao crazy.

"Is he a pig? This is a new society now, how can you use the word 'troublemaker'? It's simply outrageous."

Ultimately, this matter was Director Xin's fault in the commune, and one should not speak recklessly in a moment of panic.

However, this incident also made many people wary of the Xiatang Brigade. Just how much prestige did Fang Wei have in the brigade? Everyone was as prickly as a hedgehog.

The problem is that they can get rid of the brigade secretary, but they can't get rid of the brigade leader.

The brigade leader needed to be elected by all the commune members, and then have the approval of more than two-thirds of them to assume the position. The brigade leader wasn't a state cadre; what could you do to him?

The key is that the Xiatang brigade is so united that they are practically impenetrable.

Most people in the county watched coldly, and in such a short time, they saw through the true colors of these people. These guys didn't care about agricultural production at all; they were just here to harm people.

This once advanced county in breeding is being ruined by their actions, and we're going to be back to the days when we had to eat sweet potatoes for half the year instead of a proper food supply.

As a result, Director Xin of Yaoling Commune ran into trouble in all 17 brigades. He originally wanted to suppress Fang Wei to establish his authority, but he ended up losing face.

Indeed, in the history of Yaoling Commune, he was the first person to be so disliked.

Fang Wei stayed comfortably in the Yao village for half a month before returning to the team with his family. By this time, the relationship between the team and the commune had become very tense, and Zheng Hu and others almost ignored the existence of certain people, going about their business as usual.

The materials he sent to the capital were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, immediately stirring up towering waves.

The actions of certain individuals during this period had already aroused public outrage, and Fang Wei's material was merely a trigger, with waves of opposition rising higher and higher.

That's the significance of him serving as this representative: having a voice allows him to attract more attention.

The authorities simply brought up the various events that had occurred in Xinlin County and Xiangling City recently for everyone to discuss, which actually added fuel to the fire regarding the previously rampant and reckless behavior.

When some people go too far, someone will naturally step in to correct them.

The struggle between the two sides intensified, and some, driven to desperation, finally decided that the only option was to take action.

noon.

Fang Wei was having dinner at home when a group of people suddenly rushed in, announced relevant documents, and decided to arrest him.

Pan Lianhua's eyes turned red, and she was ready to go inside to grab a rifle and fight to the death.

"Lotus, don't be impulsive. Promise me you'll take good care of the child."

Fang Wei had long known this day would come. Whether it was the theory of production-only or the model of breeding, they were just excuses for some people.

The only difference is that some people genuinely want to do something practical, while others oppose for the sake of opposing.

The reason for making a fuss about him is not because we have any deep grudge against him, but simply to attack the opposing side.

"That's right. Just come with us obediently, or you'll be punished even more severely."

The person leading the team was also a little nervous, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

But seeing that Fang Wei was still quite rational, he felt somewhat relieved. After saying a few polite words, he took out handcuffs and prepared to put them on the other person.

"I advise you not to do this."

Fang Wei did not resist, but simply said something.

"What, you dare threaten me?"

The man's eyes narrowed instantly, and his tone became unfriendly.

“Threat? No, I’m just thinking of you so you won’t be stuck in the village.”

Fang Wei smiled, not wanting to say anything more.

The man snorted coldly, snapped the handcuffs onto his wrists, and deliberately tightened them a little.

Pan Lianhua felt sorry for them and wanted to take a gun and kill them again.

Fang Wei shook his head slightly, then turned and walked out. A group of people quickly followed; if the boy got away, he'd be in deep trouble when he got back.

The roads inside the new houses were deserted; there wasn't a soul in sight.

A group of people escorted Fang Wei out. Things went even more smoothly than expected, and these people couldn't help but feel very proud.

But when they came out of the new house, they were dumbfounded!
There were no fewer than a thousand people standing outside, their faces dark and silent, blocking their way back.

Someone with sharp eyes immediately noticed the handcuffs on Fang Wei's hands.

It was like a spark falling into a haystack, instantly igniting a raging fire.

"What right do you have to handcuff Secretary Fang? Are you all too full of yourself?"

"Do you even know that Secretary Fang is a representative? You have no right to do this!"

"This is too much! Let's take them down!"

The former advanced breeding team was not a pushover.

This area has a long history of fierce and unruly people, though many may have forgotten the past. Let alone bullying Secretary Fang, even bullying a random commune member would get you killed.

When dealing with people and things, one should be reasonable. If one is unreasonable, then one should ask the hunting rifle in one's hand if it will agree.

Faced with the crowd's outrage, the group broke out in a cold sweat. The man who had insisted on handcuffing Fang Wei was now filled with regret; he finally understood the meaning behind Fang Wei's earlier words—she really did mean well. "Uncuff him! Uncuff him!"

A series of angry roars erupted from the scene, a moment when people's emotions are most likely to get out of control.

Fang Wei did not want any bloodshed. He stretched out his hands in front of the man and said, "Aren't you going to unlock these handcuffs? Do you really want things to get out of control?"

"Quick, untie him!"

Unable to withstand the pressure, the person in charge immediately unlocked Fang Wei's handcuffs.

The situation was very critical just now. If anyone had trembled even slightly, it would have been an irreversible situation.

"Everyone, quiet down and put away your weapons. It's alright, I'll go with them and be back in a few days. Now, everyone, disperse!"

Fang Wei looked up at the familiar faces and felt a warm current flowing through her heart.

However, it would be unwise to start a conflict at this time. He had already reported the situation to his superiors, and he didn't believe those people would dare to take his life.

Therefore, he still came out to ask everyone not to take any extreme actions.

The members were unwilling, but they had become accustomed to obeying Fang Wei's orders over the years, and in the end, they left one after another, looking back every few steps.

"Let's go."

Fang Wei watched everyone leave, then turned to the person leading the group and said something.

This group of people arrived with great fanfare, but now they all looked dejected. The scene they had just witnessed had left a lasting impression on them, and they were all feeling very frustrated.

"Stop it all!"

At this moment, another group of people arrived at Xiatang Brigade.

The newly arrived Director Yao from the county hurriedly stopped Fang Wei and the others, and then waited for the people behind to come over.

"Hmph! You've got some nerve! Don't you know who Comrade Fang Wei is? What right do you have to arrest him? Release him immediately, this is an order from higher up!"

The person who then stepped forward read out the order from his superiors, and at the same time announced that the previous order to arrest Fang Wei was null and void.

Those who came to arrest Fang Wei had no choice but to slink away. Today's events had taken many twists and turns, and to be honest, they only had one thought now: to get away as soon as possible.

They really don't want to get involved in this mess anymore.

"Comrade Fang Wei, I'm so sorry you had to suffer this injustice!"

"It's nothing, I should thank all the leaders for coming to my rescue."

Fang Wei thanked each of the people who came to his rescue. After chatting for a while, he learned that the leader had come all the way from the capital.

"No need to thank us, thank yourself. It was your report that attracted the attention of the relevant authorities, which is why we discovered this mistake and corrected it in time."

The visitor spoke with Fang Wei for a while, then went directly to the county.

They will not mince words about this matter; they will definitely pursue it to the end.

Fang Wei had barely settled into his home when Zheng Hu rushed over and told him to answer a phone call, saying it was from the district. He hurried to the team headquarters, where he heard Zhu Minghui's voice on the other end.

"Secretary Fang, I'm sorry you've been wronged. Has the comrade sent from above arrived yet?"

"We've arrived. Thanks to them, otherwise I would have been arrested."

“These bastards are utterly lawless. Don’t worry, this is no longer just a personal matter for you. I will cooperate with my superiors to investigate thoroughly and find out how many people were involved.”

"Thank you, Director Zhu, I understand."

The two ended the call quickly, and Fang Wei basically understood the whole story.

Some people wanted to eliminate him completely, even disregarding Fang Wei's representative status and directly breaking the rules to arrest him. This was no small matter; it affected the interests of many people.

In addition, Fang Wei is a nationally renowned breeding expert who has made a great contribution to increasing grain production in the county and region.

Putting aside the high-yield rice varieties developed by the other party, he shouldn't be treated so unfairly just because of a single "Hybrid Rice Breeding Technology Manual".

So, with the exception of a few individuals, everyone from top to bottom was united in their hatred of the enemy and promptly corrected the course of events.

Zhu Minghui played a part in the reason why the comrades who corrected the situation arrived so promptly.

Fang Wei remembered the favor, left the brigade headquarters, and returned home.

"Third Brother, let's quit! Let's leave tomorrow and come back to the Yao village with me."

Today's events had a great impact on Pan Lianhua. She refused to let Fang Wei stay in Xiatang Brigade and insisted on taking him up the mountain to the Yao village.

"It's alright, Lotus. We haven't done anything shameful, so why should we run away? Besides, what's the use of escaping to the Yao village if that day really comes? Do you want to implicate the whole village?"

Fang Wei shook his head. This was their last chance. They hadn't managed to take him with them, so they wouldn't be able to in the future.

Avoiding problems won't solve anything; only struggle will offer a glimmer of hope.

Take this incident for example. If he had stayed in the Yao village and not returned, would everything have been fine? Impossible. The other party would have come to the village demanding his return. Would he really have resorted to desperate measures?

To be honest, he wouldn't. Even if he didn't consider his own family, he would have to consider his older brothers and sisters.

That's why he reported the situation immediately. His biggest advantage is that he has a unique channel for communication, which is the key to his eventual escape from danger.

"Third brother, please take good care of yourself. I don't want to live in fear anymore."

Pan Lianhua finally broke down and hugged Fang Wei, crying her heart out.

A few days later, the county issued a document reinstating Fang Wei to his position as the Party Secretary of Xiatang Brigade.

Fang Wei didn't mince words; there was no point in playing any games of passing the buck now. From that day on, he resumed his habit of occasionally going to the team headquarters to check the documents.

“We didn’t distribute anything to everyone for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so we’re making up for it now. Tiger, tomorrow we’ll slaughter 100 pigs, and give everyone 2 chickens, 2 ducks, and 10 catties of eggs.”

Fang Wei was too lazy to hide it anymore. Whether he distributed the items or not, people would still mess with him as usual, and it had nothing to do with whether he distributed the items to the members or not.

Besides, the fact that he managed to get through this ordeal means that his actions weren't entirely wrong.

"Okay, third brother."

Zheng Hu then went to make arrangements for this matter.

the next day.

As soon as it was light, the team began slaughtering pigs, while the members lined up to receive chickens, ducks, and eggs.

[New pigs born, points +28300]

[Produces broiler chickens, +16000 points]

[Produces Muscovy ducks, points +18000]

Total points: 17820770.

The brigade's pig farm has 3978 pigs remaining. (End of Chapter)
