Reborn in a virtual world, before the house was taken away

Chapter 133 Jiang Hongjun is dead

After seeing He Yong'an off, Feng Qingqing was in a daze for a while before she came to her senses.

She felt a surge of joy when she thought about the notice issued by the brigade headquarters this afternoon to all brigade members to re-elect a new brigade leader. This Xiong Bao country was practically ruined; without a brigade leader, it had no hope or support.

You have to understand that in the small area of ​​the brigade, the brigade leader is like a local tyrant. If someone in your family is the brigade leader, it's much easier to do anything.

However, she still had some doubts. She didn't know if the food poisoning was intentional or accidental. She had a vague feeling that Jiang Yun was involved, but she had no evidence. She could only wait and see.

While Feng Qingqing was still thinking about Jiang Yun and the Jiang family, things started to get noisy again at the educated youth compound. It turned out that after the educated youth went back last night, they felt a little more at ease because things had been settled regarding Lü Yulan and Jiang Hongjun. However, Jiang Hongjun continued to howl intermittently throughout the night, making it impossible for them to rest.

This morning, the educated youth were supposed to send Jiang Hongjun off as agreed yesterday, but after Jiang Yun's earnest pleas, they were given an extra half-day. By mid-afternoon, the educated youth couldn't take it anymore. After consulting with the brigade cadres, they disregarded the attitude of the Jiang siblings and sent Jiang Hongjun to a cowshed some distance away from the educated youth compound.

There are currently only two cows in the cowshed, and no one is guarding them. Only a family living a few hundred meters away from the cowshed often goes to check on them at night, so no matter how much Jiang Hongjun howls, it will not affect the others.

The next morning, after Hu Fangming came over, he described the scene in detail to her, saying that Jiang Hongjun was crying and wailing, unwilling to leave the educated youth compound, while loudly saying that he wanted to go home and back to the city, and that he regretted it.

The educated youth were surprised to learn that he could have returned home after falling ill, but he had given up the opportunity.

"Qingqing, you don't know, after Jiang Hongjun was sent away, the educated youth compound became much quieter, and I found it hard to get used to it."

She chatted with Feng Qingqing, somewhat puzzled.

Feng Qingqing smiled slightly and said:

"It will be fine in a few days."

For the next two days, Feng Qingqing and Hu Fangming went up the mountain every day. Feng Qingqing spent most of her time picking herbs. As the weather gradually got colder, if they didn't take this opportunity to pick herbs, the mountains would be covered in snow in winter, and there would be nothing left.

Hu Fangming ran all over the mountain looking for wild fruits, and surprisingly, she found a large patch of wild yam. This stuff can be used as a staple food or as a vegetable. The two were very happy, but there was too much stuff for them to dig up, so they specially invited He Yong'an to come and dig together.

The three of them dug for two and a half days before they finished digging up the yams. To prevent other villagers from seeing them, they didn't carry the yams back during the day. Instead, they did it under the cover of darkness, and He Yong'an and Feng Qingqing made five or six trips back and forth to carry everything into Feng Qingqing's clinic.

The three of them were panting heavily, but they were also very satisfied. With so many yams, they wouldn't have to worry about food during the winter.

While the three were busy with matters on the mountain, the selection of the brigade leader was also coming to an end. In this election, the accountant Liu Hezhi, who was originally full of confidence, was not elected. Surprisingly, the commune members unanimously agreed that the former militia company commander, Lü Tianhua, should take the position.

Feng Qingqing was also a little surprised when she heard the news. She didn't expect that Liu Hezhi would be eliminated. It turned out that the members of the brigade had a good eye. Although Company Commander Lü looked fierce, he was wholeheartedly for the members. Over time, he would naturally win the hearts of the people.

Through Hu Fangming, Feng Qingqing was also closely monitoring Jiang Yun. She learned that Jiang Yun's temper had become increasingly gloomy and terrifying recently, and she had never taken off the veil covering her face. Moreover, a faint smell would waft over when someone passed by her.

Another incident that happened in the educated youth compound concerned Lü Yulan. On the third day after Lü Yulan was sent to the hospital, she was sent back to the brigade. Along with her, the county hospital's examination report confirmed that Lü Yulan had indeed suffered from mental abnormalities due to excessive trauma.

After receiving confirmation, the brigade headquarters had no choice but to send someone to take Lü Yulan back to her parents' home in the city.

When Feng Qingqing found out, Lü Yulan had already boarded the train to Beijing. Facing the direction of Beijing, Feng Qingqing thought to herself that Lü Yulan had received her just deserts and her life was ruined. If Lü Yulan could occasionally regain her senses and think about her past, she wondered if she would regret what she had done.

The original brigade leader and his family of three were also sent back from the commune hospital. Except for Xiong Baoguo, who was still unable to move due to fractures in both legs, the elderly couple, Ye Dahua and his wife, looked drastically different. Those who went to see them couldn't believe that the two, who were originally healthy, had become like this after leaving the hospital.

The elderly couple looked sickly, their faces pale and thin, panting after just a few steps. The villagers could tell at a glance that they would never be able to do heavy work again and could only be taken care of. Perhaps they could live a couple more years, but they should not overwork themselves, otherwise it would shorten their lifespan.

The members were all deeply saddened after visiting the site.

Feng Qingqing no longer pays much attention to these matters.

In recent days, He Yong'an has been coming over for meals from time to time. Feng Qingqing has intentionally added water from her space to He Yong'an's food, hoping that he can do better in his studies later on.

Now, He Yong'an has taken Feng Qingqing's advice and is studying hard every day. In just a few days, he has already reached the fifth grade. He plans to go to the brigade's primary school to take the graduation exam in a few days.

He Yong'an has already confirmed with the primary school principal that the exam is indeed feasible.

Just as Feng Qingqing and the others were living their lives in an orderly manner, a big piece of news came from the educated youth compound.

Jiang Hongjun is dead!

He died in the cowshed where he had been carried in earlier.

It was noon the next day when they were discovered. Because someone had died, the brigade sent someone to report it to the police station.

After the police came to investigate, the police and the educated youth learned that the Jiang siblings did not deliver the meals to him on time every day. Sometimes, they would only go once in a row. When everyone saw Jiang Hongjun die, he was already emaciated and looked like a skeleton.

But Jiang Hongwei was also aggrieved. He had something to say. At first, he went over every meal, but every time he went over, he could hear Jiang Hongjun insulting him with the most offensive words and throwing things around. In the end, Jiang Hongjun got annoyed and would just leave it for a day or two before going over.

But he never expected Jiang Hongjun to die.

Police investigation revealed that Jiang Hongjun had been suffering from a high fever for several days, which led to a series of complications that caused his death.

At this point, Jiang Hongwei was saddened and shed crocodile tears, but Jiang Yun remained indifferent throughout.

In her eyes, her third brother, who had always doted on her since childhood, was already useless. He was dead, so be it; living would only bring her suffering.
