Chapter 575 Make a fortune silently
These people have very dark minds. In order to flatter their superiors and get some scraps or petty profits, even though they clearly knew that some of their comrades were framed by Lu Mingjian, they still tortured those innocent people with extremely cruel means without mercy just for a little benefit for themselves.
Therefore, even if the government spared these people's lives, Lin Geng would not let them go. If for no other reason, even if it was just to vent Aunt Zhang's anger, he could not let these two guys go.
When it comes to protecting his own people, Lin is a typical petty-minded person. He may keep a grudge to himself, but he will take revenge sooner or later.
Even the guys who were in charge of guarding Aunt Zhang at the beginning, although they were not implicated because of Lu Mingjian, Lin Gen did not let them go. Although these guys did not torture Aunt Zhang, they did not give her food, water, or bedding when they were guarding her, leaving her cold, hungry, and thirsty, and they also spoke ill of her. For this reason, Lin Gen did not let them go.
However, these people did not deserve the death penalty. Although they had evil in their nature, they did not know the truth. They might have been deceived by Lu Mingjian and thought Aunt Zhang was a bad person, so Lin did not sentence them to death.
But the death penalty could be avoided, but the living punishment could not be escaped. In the following days, Lin had nothing to do, so he treated these guys as fun. He would target one of them every now and then, follow them to a secluded place, put a sack on them, and then beat them up with fists and kicks, breaking several of their bones, and then run away.
During the following period, one after another, people in the Revolutionary Committee were put into sacks and had their bones broken, which made the members of the Revolutionary Committee panic. Some people were even put into sacks and beaten badly at their doorsteps, which really scared some people in the Revolutionary Committee.
Everyone knows that the reason these people were put in sacks was because they offended someone and were retaliated against. However, when they were put in the sacks, they didn't see who put them in the sacks. So even if they reported it to the police, it would be useless. They couldn't find out who put them in the sacks, so the matter could only be left unresolved.
This also made some guys in the Revolutionary Committee who liked to torture people restrain themselves a little. They no longer dared to torture people in every possible way as they did before. Their attitude towards people they caught became much better. At least they no longer dared to beat people casually, nor did they dare to deprive them of food or water. This made Lin's unintentional contribution to the cause save many people from suffering.
But this storm is still blowing, and it is getting stronger and stronger, affecting more and more areas, causing people in society to be unsettled and everyone to feel insecure. The smiles on many people's faces have gradually disappeared, replaced by worries about the future and worries about their own tomorrow.
Lin Geng, on the other hand, was not affected at all. He ate and drank as usual and did not take anything to heart. Every day when he was supposed to report to the factory, he would go around the factory. When he had nothing to do, he would make an excuse to go out to contact the procurement of materials and sneak back home to play with his children.
His little Lin Yi has grown up healthily under the careful care of Yu Li and Lin Geng, as well as Yu's father and mother. Because Lin Geng secretly gave the little guy spiritual spring water to drink, the little guy is in good health. From birth to now, it is almost three years old in the blink of an eye, and he has never had any minor illness or disaster. He has grown into a chubby boy. Not only can he run around everywhere now, but he is also a little chatterbox and pesters Lin Geng to tell him stories every day.
By this time it was already 1968. Yu Li became pregnant again and gave birth to a daughter. The Lin family now had four people, and they lived a peaceful and healthy life, which made people in the yard envious.
Lin Geng hadn't encountered any problems in the past two years. The situation between Lao Liu and Aunt Zhang was also very stable. Lao Liu devoted himself to the training of the troops and turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside. He trained the troops under his command very well and no one wanted to cause trouble for him. Even the central government was very satisfied with Lao Liu's performance. The instructor even personally praised Lao Liu by name, which made Lao Liu's position more stable.
However, the relationship between Dragon Country and the Bear Country to the north became increasingly tense, so the troops were required to be ready to respond to the invasion of the Bear Country to the north at any time.
However, Lin Geng knew that, thanks to the teacher's wisdom, although there would be fierce friction between the two countries next year, a large-scale war would not really break out. So he was not worried about it at all and continued to live his life leisurely.
Although the wind was still getting stronger and stronger, the common people gradually got used to it. After all, life had to go on, including the rebels.
As a result, the pigeon market in the city of Sijiu, which had been closed due to the wind, gradually resumed and small businesses began to be run again, but they had to be more careful.
Qian San also left a letter to Lin Geng, using the special agreement between them, asking Lin Geng to continue to provide him with various meats for distribution in various pigeon cities.
So after thinking about it, Lin Geng agreed and started to supply Qian San with various meats, eggs and fresh fish again.
The business has been stopped for such a long time, and all kinds of meat and eggs produced in Lin Geng's small world are almost out of stock. It is indeed necessary to deal with some of them. Otherwise, he can only reduce the breeding of animals in the small world. It is better to sell them off so that ordinary people can eat more meat.
Of course, Lin Geng was not completely idle. He had a lot of money now, but he didn't dare to keep it in the bank to earn interest. So when he had nothing to do, he would put on makeup and stroll around various pigeon markets, and sometimes even hang out at the scrap yard.
Since the wind started, the movement to destroy the four olds began. The rebels or the red-sleeved soldiers destroyed the four olds everywhere, and there were also house searches and the like. People were in a panic. Many old items that people had collected or stored in the past were either confiscated and destroyed, or secretly disposed of, or even destroyed by themselves. It was really heartbreaking.
Lin Geng took this opportunity, put on makeup, and bought all kinds of old items through middlemen at the pigeon market or scrap collection stations, or even from some rebels or Red Guard leaders.
At this time, because storing old items at home not only does not bring any benefits to the family, but may also bring disasters, many people are eager to sell these old items. The prices are simply outrageous, and it is a bit high to say that they are cheap. Many good things are almost given away for free. They can be sold for a little money. Sometimes, even a few pounds of meat can be exchanged for a pretty good antique. For Lin Geng, it is just like picking up money.
