There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and there was no such thing as an easy bargain.
Guo Zhuye had once made her famous because of the photo in the provincial newspaper. It had also made her popular overnight and easily got a comfortable job. She was indeed excited for a long time. At that time, she always thought that she was young and beautiful, that she had good conditions, and that she was lucky. However, reality proved that she was too naive.
One night, a month after Guo Zhuye became the telephone operator of the community, an unimaginable crisis suddenly fell on her head like Mount Tai. From then on, the sudden changes finally changed her fate and changed her life.
It was a hot summer night, and the sky was still full of stars when he went to bed. The heat was unbearable. However, when it was close to midnight, there was suddenly thunder and lightning, and a storm. The deafening thunder and blinding lightning scared her into curling up on the bed, not daring to move. Even though she closed the door and turned off the lights, the fear in her heart increased. How could he still feel sleepy? She lay in the blanket with her clothes on, only revealing her eyes. Through the window glass, she quietly watched the lightning and the torrential rain outside the window, hoping that the thunderstorm would stop as soon as possible. At this moment, a snow-white lightning flashed. A series of sparks flashed on the transformer on the opposite side of the courtyard wall. Then, the lights in the entire courtyard immediately went out in an instant. It was pitch black everywhere. This pitch-black darkness made her feel even more afraid. After a while, just as another bolt of lightning flashed, a clear figure was reflected on her window. Ah, from that clear silhouette, wasn't that Secretary Wang of the Commune? What was he going to do in such a heavy rain? She lay quietly, not daring to make a sound, staring unblinkingly at the window, which had been blurred by the lightning, and listening to the storm raging in the yard. At this moment, there were two gentle knocks on her door. She did not say anything, but then there were two more knocks, and the sound was even louder than before. Then, the voice of Secretary Wang Yingxue came,"Zhuye, don't be afraid. I'm here to bring you candles.”
"No, Secretary Wang, I'm already asleep. Let's talk about it tomorrow.”
"Look at you, open the door quickly. I've already brought it over! Open the door slightly, I'll pass the candle to you and leave!”
Bamboo Leaf didn't want to open the door. She closed her eyes and slept. What candles did she need? However, he had braved such a heavy rain to send it to you out of kindness. How could he have the cheek to reject him outside the door? She hurriedly jumped off the bed, opened the door a crack, and stretched out a hand to take the candle. However, as soon as the door opened, Secretary Wang took the opportunity to squeeze in. As soon as he entered, he hugged her tightly and pressed his smoke-filled lips against her face. She was shocked and instinctively wanted to shout, but Secretary Wang used his smoke-filled mouth to block her mouth. Guo Zhuye, who was in a hurry, was shocked. Faced with all this sudden, she was a little flustered and flustered, but she still instinctively reached out her hands and pushed Secretary Wang against the door behind her. He staggered, but steadied himself at once, hugged her again, and whispered imploringly,"My good bamboo leaves, don't make a scene. There are only the two of us in this courtyard today!”Hearing this, she became even more nervous and afraid. The cadre of the Commune had gone to the countryside. In this empty courtyard, in this night where there was wind, thunder, and heavy rain everywhere, no one would hear her even if she shouted until she broke her throat. She suddenly felt a real fear. A serious crisis was coming to her. She was helpless and completely desperate.
At this critical moment, the glass door behind Wang Yingxue was gently knocked twice, and a deep and dignified voice came,"Bamboo Leaf, who is in your room?”Zhu Ye could tell that it was the voice of Ma Yongxiang, the deputy director of the Commune Revolutionary Committee.
Hearing Ma Yongxiang's voice, Secretary Wang's body went limp. His two soft arms immediately slipped down from Guo Zhuye's shoulders. He tried his best to pretend to be very calm and replied,"Chief Ma, it's me. The power went out, so I brought Zhu Ye a candle. There's another one here, and I was just about to send it to you!”
"Is that so? Then quickly light the candles!" Ma Yongxiang also pushed open the door and walked in. As soon as he entered, he went up to Wang Yingxue and lit a cigarette between his trembling fingers with the flame of the candle. He took a deep puff of the cigarette and then looked at Wang Yingxue's face with a smile as if he was looking at a prey. He sat down on a chair in front of the telephone operator.
He turned around and looked at the pale Guo Zhuye. Pretending that nothing had happened, he said,"Good heavens, I didn't expect this!" As he spoke, he exhaled a mouthful of thick smoke and slowly continued,"It's been so many years, who has ever seen such heavy rain!”
"Director Ma, this is a candle for you. Take it well. I'll go over first.”
When Secretary Wang had just slipped out of the main computer room, Ma Yongxiang quietly asked Guo Zhuye,""Did this dog do anything to you?”
Guo Zhuye knew what he was referring to. She started to cry out of injustice. She tried to suppress herself. Obviously, she didn't want to make a big deal out of it. If it made a big fuss, not only would it be difficult for Director Ma to deal with it, but it would also ruin her reputation. She sobbed quietly and said,"He didn't, Director Ma."
"Don't hide it from me. I was standing outside the door just now and heard everything. I won't let this beast in human clothes go.”Ma Yongxiang said loudly on purpose.
Guo Zhuye panicked when she heard that and immediately begged him,""Chief Ma, don't say anymore. Even if you really deal with him and fire him, what will I do if this matter is made public? Besides, he really didn't do anything to me!”
When Ma Yongxiang heard this, he nodded thoughtfully and said with confidence,"Zhuye, don't be afraid of what happened tonight! Don't worry. I'll definitely handle this matter well! He couldn't make you embarrassed, but he would never dare to bully you again. From now on, no matter who it is, as long as he dares to act like Wang Yingxue again, tell me secretly and see how I deal with him! Let's not talk about it anymore. It's getting late. We'll talk about it in detail when we're free. Don't worry and go to sleep. I guarantee that he won't f * cking dare to do it again!”As he spoke, he stood up and walked out of the main computer room, closing the door from the outside.
The storm in the courtyard had obviously subsided. On the way back to his office, Ma Yongxiang deliberately stepped hard on the rain, making a splashing sound. However, he felt that the sound was too soft, so he coughed loudly twice before entering his room. He didn't go to sleep immediately after he returned to his room. As soon as he entered the door, he lit the candle that Wang Yingxue had given him. The whole room was immediately lit up. He sat comfortably on the chair, crossed his legs, stared at the ajar door, and continued to smoke. He was quite sure that someone would knock on his door soon.
At this moment, Wang Yingxue, who was hiding in the office and peeking out of the window, was feeling uneasy. He was getting more and more flustered. The first thought that came to his mind when he left the main computer room and returned to his room was that Ma Yongxiang was an old hand in this field. After seeing Guo Zhuye's panicked look, how could he let it go? If Ma Yongxiang used his glib tongue to threaten and seduce Guo Zhuye after he left, it was not impossible for him to take the opportunity to finish what Guo Zhuye hadn't finished after his mental breakdown. As long as that was the case, no one would say anything about tonight's matter, and everything would be fine for him. However, just as he returned and sat down, he heard Ma Yongxiang stepping on the rainwater in the courtyard and walking out. He went straight back to his room and lit a candle. He knew that something bad was going to happen. Perhaps Ma Yongxiang was going to make a big deal out of this. Thinking of this, he immediately took out two " big front doors " from the cabinet, wrapped them in newspapers and tucked them under his armpits, and rushed to Ma Yongxiang's office.
Wang Yingxue gently pushed the door of Ma Yongxiang's room. The door was ajar. Ma Yongxiang was sitting in front of his desk with a cigarette between his fingers. His eyes were staring at the door, deep in thought. Wang Yingxue timidly glanced at Ma Yongxiang's smug expression and said with a smile,"Good heavens, I didn't expect it to rain so heavily! It scared people quite a bit. Perhaps some places had suffered a disaster!”
Ma Yongxiang didn't reply to him. Instead, he asked with a smile,"Yingxue, you can't sleep either?"
"I can't sleep. I saw that there were still candles in your room, so I wanted to chat with you.”As he spoke, he placed two packs of cigarettes on the table. He said,"Two packs of cigarettes. I see that you're quite addicted to smoking."”
"Yingxue, we're all on the same side. Is there a need to be like this? From now on, if you need your elder brother to speak up for you, just say it. I have no other abilities. I am just a good friend. I will only help you, not make things difficult for you. You will know it when we get along for a long time.”
When Ying Xue heard this, his anxious heart finally settled down. He felt that his goal had been achieved. After sitting for a while, seeing that Ma Yongxiang did not say much, he said,"It's getting late. You should rest early.”Then, he left tactfully.
Speaking of Ma Yongxiang, he had to say a few more words.
Ma Yongxiang was originally the deputy secretary of Zhaozhuang Commune, which had a flat terrain and good natural conditions near the county town. A year ago, due to a mistake, he was transferred from Zhaozhuang Commune to Xiangyang Commune. It was said that he had an improper relationship with the women's director of the community and was discovered. The man of the women's director was a platoon leader of the People's Liberation Army who was currently serving in the army. At that time, his behavior was considered to have broken the military marriage. If it was investigated, it would be a serious crime. Fortunately, not many people knew about this matter, and the secretary of Zhao Zhuang Commune used to be Ma Yongxiang's subordinate. In order to appease the people, he moved his compassion and covered up for Ma Yongxiang. Through his connections in the county, he quietly transferred Ma Yongxiang to Xiangyang Commune and became the deputy director. He quietly suppressed this matter.
Ma Yongxiang turned misfortune into good fortune. He should have thanked the Secretary for his generosity and care. After the crisis, he should have learned his lesson and changed his ways. However, he still did not think much of it. He continued to play, eat, and drink as usual.
The reason why Ma Yongxiang was so arrogant and bold was because he thought he had the capital to make contributions to the revolution. During the War of Resistance against Japan, he was a "little red ghost" who had made great contributions to the Party and the people many times. Among the middle-level officials in Longcheng County, he was a veteran. When we attacked Japan, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old. At that time, he was an underground traffic officer of the Eighth Route Army. He was smart, brave, and decisive. Once, in a very urgent and dangerous situation, he passed through the iron wall of the Japanese army alone and sent an emergency message to the underground organization of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. He protected the life and safety of the party organization and many leading officials in time. And those officials were now in leadership positions in the province or even the central government.
In the 1960s, during the food shortage, Ma Yongxiang was the deputy secretary of the Zhaozhuang Commune. In that era of national hunger, the cadre only provided six taels of grain a day. People relied on eating leaves, starch boiled from the stem of Zizania latipes, and other "vegetables" to survive the famine. One day, he went to the countryside to inspect a production team and found two cows and a donkey tied outside the livestock pen. He asked the production team leader who accompanied him,"What happened to these livestock? Why aren't you working in the fields?"
The captain said," Those two cows had a stomachache. They were given some medicine at the veterinarian station this morning. They have to rest for two days. That donkey is old and can't even walk."”
"Then why keep it? It's better to kill them and eat them!" Ma Yongxiang replied decisively.
The production team leader also had the same idea, but he did not have the courage. After hearing Secretary Ma's words, he immediately called a few people to kill the old donkey, peel its skin, and cook a big pot of donkey meat.
At noon, the members who had returned from work in the fields and were starving could smell the fragrant smell of meat from afar when they passed by the meat pot. They walked to the meat pot and could not move. Someone looked at the spread donkey skin and said,"Aiya, killed that old donkey? The meat is almost cooked, let me have a taste first.”As he spoke, he grabbed a piece of donkey meat from the bone beside the pot and stuffed it into his mouth. Although the meat was not cooked yet, he chewed it twice and stretched his neck to swallow it. He also said,"People often say that donkey meat is fragrant, horse meat is smelly, and you can't eat mule meat for your entire life. This donkey meat is so fragrant!" As soon as he said this, the members in front of the pot ate all the meat that could be seen on the water surface. Some people had not eaten yet, so they used fire hooks to fish it into the pot. Before lunch, the big pot of donkey meat was almost finished by the chaotic people.
When the captain and Secretary Ma arrived, there was only half a pot of donkey bones left in the pot. The captain looked at Secretary Ma and felt a little embarrassed. He could only blame himself for being careless and not sending someone to watch over the meat pot. In the end, with Secretary Ma's acquiescence, he arranged for people to kill the two sick cows that were being fed medicine.
In the evening, the captain picked two pieces of Dunzi meat, heated up a pot of persimmon wine, and accompanied Secretary Ma to drink to his heart's content. Then, he distributed the remaining beef to the members. In those two days, the smell of meat wafted in every household's yard. The village was even more lively than the New Year.
Secretary Ma had gained experience from eating beef that day. He ate wherever he went. That time, he went to seven villages and ate beef for eight days. When he returned to the community, the secretary of the community was so angry that his face turned green. He took out a document from the county supervision committee and suspended him for inspection. Ma Yongxiang was dumbfounded when he heard that, but he only stayed in his office for a day to write the checkup before riding his bicycle home. When he was tired from the journey, he spent the night at a brigade where he often stayed. The officers there did not know that he was suspended for inspection, so they followed his instructions and killed a donkey to satisfy him.
There were still many stories about Ma Yongxiang.
It was said that one summer, the county organized a health inspection, mainly to check the situation of eliminating mosquitoes and flies. At that time, Secretary Ma was in charge of this work at Zhaozhuang Commune. He did not properly catch the "four pests". The inspection team was about to arrive. What should he do? He frowned and thought of a plan. He immediately called the deputy directors of the production teams who were in charge of "eliminating the four pests" to come to the community for a meeting. At the meeting, he quietly gave everyone a face-to-face briefing. 1. The task of killing rats is very big. The villages have not collected enough rat tails as required. What should we do? He sent people to the yard to look for the dried sweet potato vines that had accumulated there last winter. He cut some more sweet potatoes from the sweet potato vines and tied them together with the tails of the rats. He asked the inspection team to count them. Someone laughed when he heard that and said, This method was really brilliant. The dried sweet potato was like a mouse's tail. If he didn't carefully distinguish it, who could tell at a glance? 2. There are too many maggots in the latrines. Before the inspection team arrives, get someone to bring a basket of wheat mushrooms (wheat husks) and scatter more in each latrine pit. Someone asked,"What's the purpose of the samozhi?" Ma Yongxiang said seriously,"According to research, wheat fungus has a good effect on killing maggots." In the end, everyone went back and sprinkled the wheat into the latrine pit. It was unknown if the maggots in the latrine pit had died, but they were all covered by the wheat, and not a single one could be seen.
There was also a story about Ma Yongxiang going home to cheat on his wife.
Ma Yongxiang's rank was high, and his salary was also quite high. But he rarely gave his wife pocket money. When his wife complained to her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law said, You're too honest. You can steal it when he comes home! The wife did as her mother-in-law said. At night, after Ma Yongxiang had made out with her, she fell asleep. She took Ma Yongxiang's Chinese tunic suit and took out 30 yuan from her pocket to hide it.
The next day at breakfast, Ma Yongxiang drooped his head and said worriedly,""Mom, this is bad. I broke the law. I'm afraid I'll have to go to jail.”
His mother asked anxiously,"You're fine. What law did you break?"”
Ma Yongxiang said with a sad face,"I lost the party membership fee of the Chinese People's Party!"”
"Aiya, look at you. How much did you lose? When did you lose it?”His mother and wife were very anxious.
"I lost it after sleeping at our house last night. I lost 30 yuan in one go!”
When his wife heard that, her face darkened. His mother understood and said,"How could it be lost at our house? It must have fallen somewhere.”Then, he glanced at Ma Yongxiang's wife and said,""After dinner, I'll look for it on your bed or under your blanket. I'm sure it won't be lost.”
In the end, the party membership fees were easily found, not a single cent less. However, the pocket money that his wife had already received was gone.
Ever since that stormy night, the incident of Wang Yingxue barging into the central computer room had quietly passed. That night, Ma Yongxiang had already made a wish to Wang Yingxue. After that, he kept his mouth shut about what happened that night and never told anyone about it on any occasion. Guo Zhuye wasn't a simple-minded person. She was deeply afraid that if others knew about this, it would affect her reputation greatly, so she wouldn't tell anyone. However, after that night, Guo Zhuye changed her previous habit and went to Secretary Wang's place to chat. Even if she met Secretary Wang on a narrow road, she could not avoid him. She would also lower her head and rush past him, no longer talking to him.
However, Guo Zhuye went to Director Ma's office frequently. Sometimes, she would bring water, sometimes she would bring newspapers, and sometimes she would call Director Ma. Every time she went, she would take the opportunity to chat with Director Ma. Director Ma would also seize the opportunity to tell her about his personal revolutionary stories, talk about the principles of life, and even make a wish for her. As long as she works hard, when the time is right, I'll find her a formal job. What's the point of being a telephone operator? Can you do this for the rest of your life?
Such peaceful days passed quickly. Unknowingly, more than two months had passed in a flash. At this time, Guo Zhuye and Ma Yongxiang were as close and harmonious as a pair of father and daughter. However, one afternoon, when Guo Zhuye went to Ma Yongxiang's room to deliver the newspaper, something finally happened.
At noon that day, all the officials in the compound had gone to the countryside, and there was no one in the compound. Guo Zhuye took the newspaper of the day and excitedly went to Ma Yongxiang's room. She placed a stack of newspapers on a small table next to her desk. As usual, she sat down on a chair by the bed and prepared to chat with Director Ma for a while before leaving. At this time, Ma Yongxiang seemed to have inadvertently stood up when he poured water for the bamboo leaves. He took the opportunity to quietly close the door. Then, he calmly walked up to Zhu Ye and stroked her hair, saying,""You're about the same age as my cousin, and you're as pretty as her.”
When Ma Yongxiang's hand touched Zhu Ye's hair, she immediately felt nervous and her face turned red. However, she still sat there without moving. Pretending to be calm, she casually asked,"Where is Director Ma's cousin working now?”
"I've arranged for her to work in a nearby arsenal. She earns 40 to 50 yuan a month and is married to the security chief of their factory.”As he spoke, he was about to touch her hand. She instinctively dodged and turned to look at the door. The wooden door had been bolted shut. It was obviously impossible to escape. Ma Yongxiang saw the expression on her face and understood everything. However, he did not care about her attempt to resist. He stretched out his arms and hugged her shoulders from behind.
"Director Ma! Don't be like this, I'm scared!" She wanted to break free from Ma Yongxiang, but how could her slender arms and tender flesh resist a strong and excited man in his forties? The mental pressure, fear, and physical weakness made her feel like a pile of cotton that had just been flicked, but her whole body was soft. Ma Yongxiang picked her up like an eagle catching a chick and placed her on his bed. He quickly stripped off her shirt and pants. He exposed her naked in front of him. He faced the pale 17-year-old girl with her eyes closed. He pounced on her without any scruples. When he entered her, she cried out, and two bright tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes. All of this aroused his passion, like a storm pouring down on her. When he launched his last attack, she seemed to feel the sky collapse and the earth collapse. The end of the world was coming. She was about to collapse.
The moment Ma Yongxiang propped himself up on the bed,
He gently turned her head so that her face was facing him. He hugged her slender body tightly in his arms and used his hot lips to kiss her ear. He panted heavily and said,"Don't be afraid, Zhu Ye. You're my sister. As long as you listen to me, I'll treat you well in the future.”
At this moment, Guo Zhuye was curled up into a ball with her eyes closed. Her chest was beating wildly. She hoped that everything would be like a dream and that it would pass quickly. When Ma Yongxiang finally let go of her and sat on the chair in front of the window, still admiring her, she struggled to sit down, lowered her head, and hurriedly put on her clothes. She smoothed her messy hair and desperately escaped from the room that once made her feel extremely warm.
After that day, Guo Zhuye made up her mind never to go to that place where she was humiliated and sad again. She didn't even want to go near that door. Of course, it was impossible to fetch water for him. She also let him get the newspaper himself. If he called, she would stand on the steps outside the door and shout,"Director Ma is calling!" Every time, she would only say it once. She did not care whether he heard her or not.
What Guo Zhuye didn't expect was that just over a month after this incident, this stalemate had a dramatic change.
It was the hot season of July. Ma Yongxiang came back from the county and went straight to the main engine room after entering the gate of the community. He tied up his bicycle and opened the curtain to see that only Bamboo Leaf was sitting in front of the central control desk. He said bluntly,"Call your brigade immediately and ask Zhang Hongwei to come to the community center to see me.”
Zhang Hongwei was the leader of the Green Pine Ridge rebels and a close comrade of her father, Guo Zhenshan. When she returned home the day before yesterday, she saw Zhang Hongwei and his father talking in a high and low voice in the building, as if they were discussing the matter of seizing power. Therefore, when Guo Zhuye heard Ma Yongxiang's words, he immediately connected the phone to Green Pine Ridge and asked the brigade accountant to inform Zhang Hongwei as soon as possible.
Zhang Hongwei was the captain of the " Rebel to the End " combat team of the Green Pine Ridge Brigade. He was not tall, and his two cheekbones protruded high on his thin, black face. When he spoke, his voice was like a broken gong, making people feel uncomfortable. Ever since the "Cultural Revolution" movement, he had been jumping around all day, fanning the flames everywhere, always posing as a famous rebel. Recently, he had also learned from the rebellious young men in the city. He wore a military belt around his waist and a military green uniform that had been washed white and patched. He swayed around the village arrogantly, as if no one was around. The honest farmers in Green Pine Ridge were amused and disgusted by his appearance.
As soon as he received the notice from the Commune and heard that Director Ma was looking for him, he rode his bicycle and rushed to the Commune.
In Director Ma's office, Zhang Weihong stood with his back straight. He frowned and listened attentively to the secret and glorious revolutionary mission that Director Ma had assigned him.
" Comrade Guo Zhenshan is a veteran of our party. He has been the main leader of Green Pine Ridge since the mutual aid and cooperation. Although he was retaliated by some people during the 'Four Purities' movement a few years ago, saying that he had financial problems and even dismissed from his post, it has been proven that Guo Zhenshan is the veteran who is worthy of our trust. All the slander and lies that had been imposed on Guo Zhen's head had to be pushed down. The purpose of seizing power this time was to take back all the power of the party, government, finance, and literature that used to be in the hands of the 'capitalist roader', Zhang Zhongquan, and his gang, and hand it over to the revolutionary party, to the revolutionary veteran like Guo Zhenshan.”
When Zhang Hongwei heard these exciting news and those new words that he had never heard before, he immediately felt a wave of uncontrollable excitement. He said excitedly,"Chief Ma, just give the order. We'll do whatever you say! Wherever you point, we will fight!”
Ma Yongxiang nodded in satisfaction, then took out a flyer from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Hongwei, saying,""These are the organizational procedures and steps of the other brigades when they seize power. You can refer to them. Go back and study them quickly. Report the list of members of the brigade's revolutionary committee and the core leadership group to me as soon as possible. After the core group of the Commune passes the study, you can implement it. Remember, once the exact time is set, inform me immediately. I will personally attend your power-seizing meeting and support you.”
With the strong support of the Revolutionary Committee of the Commune, the rebels and revolutionary masses of the Green Pine Ridge quickly seized the power of the party, government, finance and literature that the brigade leader led by the "capitalist roadster" Zhang Zhongquan had held for many years. They established the Revolutionary Committee of the Green Pine Ridge Brigade headed by the "revolutionary veteran cadre" Guo Zhenshan, and Zhang Hongwei became the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee. That night, Guo Zhenshan, the director of the Revolutionary Committee and the leader of the party's core leadership group, did not forget his savior and great noble, Deputy Director Ma of the Commune Revolutionary Committee. He specially asked his daughter Guo Zhuye to invite him to his house as a guest in his private capacity. It was said that Director Ma had eaten and drunk enough that night. Guo Zhenshan repeatedly asked him to stay at his house for the night, but Director Ma refused. Guo Zhenshan had no choice but to ask Zhang Hongwei to get someone to drive Ma Yongxiang and Guo Zhuye back to the community with a tractor.
When they returned to the community, it was already early the next morning. The people in the community compound had already fallen asleep. Guo Zhuye sent the tractor away, but she didn't go back to her room. Instead, she took the initiative to go to Ma Yongxiang's place to make tea for him to sober up. Ma Yongxiang groaned and leaned on the chair, pretending to be drunk. When Zhu Ye walked past him, he took advantage of the situation to stop Zhu Ye and see how she would react. What he didn't expect was that Zhu Ye actually grinned this time and helped him to the bed. They spent an unforgettable night together willingly. From that night onwards, the young and beautiful Guo Zhuye had regarded Ma Yongxiang as the backer of her fortune and the tool to satisfy her physiological needs. From then on, the two of them were inseparable.
One morning not long after, Guo Zhuye woke up feeling nauseous and uncomfortable. Her stomach was very uncomfortable. Although she didn't eat much during breakfast, she vomited the moment she stepped out of the kitchen. The head of the women's department asked her with concern,""What's wrong, Bamboo Leaf?"
She wiped her mouth indifferently and said,"Maybe he caught a cold. He felt a little nauseous when he ate.”
Ma Yongxiang also saw this situation. After breakfast, he couldn't sit still when he returned to the office. He pretended to make a call and went to the central office. When he saw that no one was there, he said,"I think you're pregnant. Hurry up and get an abortion.”
Guo Zhuye's face turned pale when she heard that. She lowered her head and didn't say a word.
Ma Yongxiang looked at her panicked expression and reached into his pocket to take out 50 yuan. He said,"I just thought about it. We can't do it locally. You might as well go to Qingshan County and register for a house at the county hostel. Then, you can go to the county hospital to have an abortion.”As he spoke, he handed a letter of recommendation printed by the Commune Revolutionary Committee and 50 yuan to Zhu Ye.
Guo Zhuye was still a little confused when she heard Ma Yongxiang's words. Could it be that she would really be pregnant with his child? Was it true? However, how could a young girl like her have such experience? If she wanted to ask someone else, who would she dare to ask? Even her grandmother didn't dare to say it! She took the recommendation letter and saw that the name of a woman named Li Hongju was written on the back. She was asked to find this doctor named Li Hongju to perform an abortion for her. "Then I'll leave. What about the operator?" she asked, feeling a little awkward. He still had to apply for leave for Wang Yingxue, right?”
"You go on your way. I'll handle the rest. If anyone asks, just say that there's an urgent matter at your relative's house and that I allowed you to leave.”
Li Hongju was the daughter of an old comrade of Ma Yongxiang. After reading the recommendation letter, she did not even ask and performed an abortion on Guo Zhuye. Besides, it was not the first time he had helped Ma Yongxiang like this. Guo Zhuye stayed in the guest house in Qingshan County for half a month before returning. On the day of his return, he took off the red scarf that was wrapped tightly around his head before he walked through the gate of the community, revealing a puffy, fair, and flushed face. In those few days, whenever Zhu Ye walked past the compound of the community, someone would quietly watch her through the glass window with a concerned look, trying to find some clues from her walking posture and speech. Almost everyone in the courtyard knew the story between her and Ma Yongxiang. However, some people pretended to be nonchalant, while some people who were calm and collected pointed behind her, covering their mouths and laughing.
