Qiao Lanshu was also surprised that the person who put up the big-character poster against her was actually Wei Hongmei?

Something just doesn't feel right.

However, to be honest, Wei Hongmei's husband, Sun Mingyong, was sent to a labor camp by Qiao Lanshu.

Wei Hongmei's father, Wei Zhengye, lost his job and was expelled from the Party because Qiao Lanshu discovered that he was reselling fried dough twists from the food factory.

So it seems quite normal that Wei Hongmei had a problem with her?

When Qiao Lanshu arrived at the food factory director's office, he saw that the office was crowded with people.

In addition to factory director Yang Wenyan, Party Secretary Wen, and the heads of various departments, the head of the logistics department who manages the family service team was also present.

Everyone stood in the office, looking at Wei Hongmei standing in the middle, listening to the factory director Yang Wenyan ask her questions.

Wei Hongmei stood there, her neck stiff, and shouted, "Don't you all know what grudge I have against her? She's the one who ruined my husband, and she's the one who reported my father's affairs. I just don't like her, so what? Is that a problem?"

Yang Wenyan slammed her hand on the table, pointed at Wei Hongmei, and said, "Your husband committed marriage fraud, impersonating a military officer, and now he has to be charged with embezzlement—embezzling our factory's fried dough twists! Sending him to a labor camp is already lenient enough for him. What, you still have a problem with that?"

Yang Wenyan: "And about your father's matter, I'm too lazy to even mention it! The announcement was made, and it was emphasized several times in meetings. If you feel your father was wronged and disagree with the last verdict, I can apply for a retrial for you! Let me tell you, if this case is retried, Wei Zhengye will definitely be sent to a labor camp!"

Last time, Wei Zhengye was lucky and wasn't sent to a labor camp.

He was simply dismissed from his job and expelled from the Party, and will never be hired by any organization again.

That's because the food factory didn't pursue his responsibility. Yang Wenyan saw that he was a long-time employee who had worked hard even if he hadn't made any great contributions. In addition, Wei Hongmei didn't have a husband by her side and had two children to take care of, so she needed someone to help her at home. That's why they turned a blind eye.

But now, Wei Hongmei has done something like this again.

Yang Wenyan was furious and pointed directly at Wei Hongmei, asking, "Tell me, do you want the verdict to be overturned? Are you dissatisfied?"

Wei Hongmei: "..."

Wei Hongmei shrank her neck, lowered her head, and remained silent.

Anyway, she was just a member of the service team, not a regular employee of the factory.

At most, we'll just fire her; we can't really do anything to her.

The work in the service team was hard and tiring. Every day, she sewed clothes and shoes for the workers in the food factory. Her hands were almost pierced by needles. And the wages were very low, only a few yuan a month!

She suffers and toils for just a few dollars!

She needs her clothes sewn, but doesn't she have any clothes at home to sew? She needs to come to the service team to have her clothes sewn.

Wei Hongmei has long been out of the picture.

So she stood there, looking completely unfazed, and said, "Factory manager, I put up the big-character poster. If you want to punish someone, punish me instead. My dad has already been fired, so stop harping on him."

Yang Wenyan sneered: "I thought you weren't satisfied with your dad being fired and wanted to send him to a labor camp."

Wei Hongmei: "..."

Everyone present was speechless.

The head of the logistics department said to her, "Hongmei, this job was got to you by your father, why don't you cherish it?"

When Wei Hongmei was in the family service team, she didn't actually do her job well.

However, the service team always works together as a group, so if Wei Hongmei slacks off, it won't affect the overall progress.

However, the people in the team had a lot of opinions about her.

Several people have already reported Wei Hongmei, saying they don't want to be in the same team as her.

Wei Hongmei's response is simply: "I admit I put up the big-character poster. Just tell me what you want to do with me, and don't waste everyone's time."

Yang Wenyan and Secretary Wen exchanged a glance. Secretary Wen pondered for a moment and then said, "Posting big-character posters to report a colleague isn't such a big deal. We might as well just fire her and call it a day."

After all, it's impossible to sentence someone too severely in this kind of case;

At most, they'll be dismissed and given a public reprimand.

Yang Wenyan was quite annoyed. He really hadn't expected Wei Hongmei to be so clueless.

Her father lost his job, and she lost her own job too. Will the whole family starve in the future?

Just as Yang Wenyan was about to speak, Qiao Lanshu came out.

Qiao Lanshu said to Yang Wenyan, "Factory director, I suggest that this matter be handed over to the military for handling, because the content of the big-character poster is suspected of defaming military officers. Our food factory should work with the military to deal with this matter."

Upon hearing this, Wei Hongmei immediately became anxious. She said, "I am a worker in the food factory's family team. The food factory can handle me directly. Why should I be handed over to the military? The military has no right to deal with me."

Neither Yang Wenyan nor Secretary Wen spoke; they both subconsciously looked at Qiao Lanshu.

Qiao Lanshu is the one directly involved. Her husband is a military officer, so she can make a big fuss if she wants to, and Yang Wenyan can't do anything about it.

When Qiao Lanshu came in, she had been observing for a while. Wei Hongmei saw her coming, but she didn't pay attention to her, let alone scold her.

Liu Weihong would curse at her if she saw her, so why is Wei Hongmei so calm?

Clearly, Wei Hongmei did not harbor as much resentment towards Qiao Lanshu as she claimed.

Why did she put up the big-character poster?

Qiao Lanshu looked at Wei Hongmei and said, "If you dare to slander a military officer, you should have thought about the consequences; impersonating a military officer is a six-year sentence, but do you know how many years you'll get for slandering a military officer?"

Wei Hongmei was starting to panic.

Her face paled slightly, and she said in a somewhat panicked voice, "How many years will I get?"

Secretary Wen spoke up: "It should be at least six years; this is no laughing matter."

The head of the personnel department also said, "Yes, if it were just an internal matter of our food factory, it would be easy to handle. But since it involves the military, it might even lead to a military court."

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, making the situation sound increasingly serious.

Wei Hongmei was quite frightened.

Yang Wenyan roughly understood Qiao Lanshu's meaning; she was trying to trick her and see if she could get some information out of her.

Yang Wenyan then added fuel to the fire, saying, "Speaking of which, I heard about something when I went to a meeting in the province before. In a unit in the next city, someone posted a big-character poster to report an officer and was subsequently executed."

This statement is pure fabrication.

Yang Wenyan deliberately fabricated the story to deceive Wei Hongmei.

Yang Wenyan, who rarely lies, coughed a few times guiltily, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Secretary Wen looked at Yang Wenyan with a puzzled expression, and asked with slight surprise, "Hmm? Is that so?"

How come he didn't know?

Yang Wenyan: "..."

Little did Wei Hongmei know that everyone was just trying to scare her.

Her face was pale with nervousness, and she began to stammer, "This, this, you can't arrest me! I didn't put up the poster, it has nothing to do with me!"
