After Liang Guangchuan arrived at the village committee, the police officer was explaining the work to the captain and Yu Haiyang. In addition to ideological transformation, Liang Laotai and Jiang Fu also had to do physical labor. They went to the study class on time every morning. In the afternoon, Liang Laotai went to sweep the streets, while Jiang Fu went to the mountains to dig stones. He dug stones as voluntary labor and did not receive any salary. It will be implemented from today.

Old Lady Liang staggered out of the door, she slowly bent down, and reached for the big broom on the ground with shaking hands. The filial son Liang Guangchuan, seeing his mother's difficult movements, felt a pang of pain in his heart, and he hurriedly stepped forward to take the broom from his mother.

However, at this moment, the policeman at the side stretched out his arm, stopped Liang Guangchuan, and said in a serious face: "If a reform prisoner lets others work for him, it is an aggravated crime!" His voice was filled with unquestionable majesty.

Then, the police officer turned his attention to the captain and Yu Haiyang, and solemnly instructed: "Comrades, please be sure to keep a close eye on these two prisoners in reform. We will also arrange plainclothes officers to patrol frequently. If anyone is found working for the criminals, you will be held accountable." There was a warning in his eyes.

Yu Haiyang and the captain nodded their heads in understanding after hearing what the police said. The police turned to Yu Haiyang again, and his tone became joyful: "Captain Li asked me to tell you a good news. The housing construction funds approved by the Revolutionary Committee will be coming soon. You must seize the time to plan ahead and don't let the organization down."

The captain looked at Yu Haiyang and then at the policeman. He scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Comrade policeman, what is this house-building fund you just mentioned? How come I don't know anything about it?"

The police officer smiled and said, "That's right, Captain. Comrade Yu Haiyang will officially become the monitor of the Tianwa Village Study Class from today on. From now on, people from Tianwa Village and nearby villages who need ideological transformation and study will have to come to your village."

The captain felt very upset after hearing this, and was so angry that his teeth itched. "Comrade, I am the captain of Tianwa Village, how come I didn't receive this news? Should I be notified first, and then I will notify Xiao Yu? There must be a process, right?"

The police explained, "The Tianwa Village study class is a branch of the Town Revolutionary Committee's study class and is directly managed by the Town Revolutionary Committee, so we will notify you, but we don't need to ask you for instructions or report to you." He turned to Yu Haiyang and said, "Comrade Yu, if you have any questions about the study class in the future, please go directly to Captain Li."

Seeing that the police had not responded to the captain's question about the house-building funds, Jiang Dachang was also very curious. Moreover, he was the accountant of Tianwa Village. If a house was built in Tianwa Village, the funds would definitely be controlled by him, so he wanted to understand it clearly. So he asked, "Comrade, what is the house-building funds you just mentioned?"

The police officer explained, "The funds for building the house were approved by the Revolutionary Committee for the construction of the study class. It is said that the funds for building the house are 1500 yuan. The funds for building the house must also be fully borne by Haiyang."

Jiang Dachang and the team leader's eyes were red with jealousy, especially Jiang Dachang. He had been an accountant in the village for many years, but he had never handled such a large sum of money. He hurriedly suggested to the police, "Xiao Yu is too young and has no experience. He doesn't know what kind of bricks, tiles, cement, and wood are needed to build a house. I think it's better to let the village committee manage the money and give it to me and the team leader. After all, I am an accountant and can guide Xiao Yu in selecting materials."

Yu Haiyang was displeased when he heard this, he was very clear about the principle of asking if you don't understand, moreover, he could feel that the team leader was hostile to him at this time. If the money fell into their hands, the construction of the study class would inevitably face many obstacles, and he would also be severely punished by the organization for this. After all, this was not a study class for only Granny Liang and Jiang Fu. In the future, it would involve many students from more than a dozen villages around. Its importance and influence can be imagined.

He retorted, "Regarding the prices of bricks, cement, and wood, I will go to the town to find out in person and make sure every penny is spent wisely. The stone slabs that are already available in our village are a ready-made resource and do not require any additional expenses. As for the wages of the workers, I propose to calculate it at fifty cents a day, which is both fair and reasonable. I will also study thoroughly other possible problems one by one, so the team leader and accountant Jiang will not have to worry about it."

After hearing this, the police nodded approvingly, thinking to himself: This young man is good, neither humble nor arrogant, Captain Li really did not make a mistake in his choice of him. He smiled and said: "Young people should be given more opportunities to practice. No one is born knowing everything. Haha, I'm optimistic about you, young man, keep working hard!"

Jiang Dachang secretly calculated in his heart, this is a full 1500 yuan, just thinking about it makes people jealous. If this money can fall into his hands, he can use a little tricks on materials and favors, maybe he can easily save 300 yuan, or even more. By then, all the money saved will lie in his pocket obediently. He must do everything he can to get this money. Humph, isn't that Yu Haiyang relying on the power of the Revolutionary Committee? It's not like Jiang Dachang doesn't have connections in the Revolutionary Committee!

Old Lady Liang took her time sweeping from the beginning to the end of the village. Fortunately, the whole village was not big, with only one main road running through it. However, when she finally finished her work, the sun had already set and night was about to fall.

Liang Guangchuan was worried that his mother would faint from overwork, so he always stayed by her side, carefully holding a bowl of water in his hand and watching her with concern. Whenever Mrs. Liang stopped to rest, he would rush forward to hand her water to quench her thirst and moisten her throat.

Mrs. Liang felt sorry for her son and didn't want to reduce the family income, so she urged him to go to the fields to earn work points. But Liang Guangchuan was unmoved.

"Mom, don't worry. When I get back later, I will beat this bastard to death in front of you to vent your anger!" Liang Guangchuan felt distressed when he saw his mother's sweaty face.

Old Lady Liang sighed and said in a heavy tone, "Times have changed. If it were in the past, if you didn't obey the orders of your elders, you would be drowned. On the day of her wedding, since she had already jumped into the water, that was her fate. She shouldn't have been saved. If she was rescued, her life would have changed, and her family would be in trouble!"

Liang Guangchuan felt mixed emotions after hearing this. His mother's words were certainly correct, but for some reason, he always felt that something was not right. But no matter what, it was definitely right to beat Liang Sumei up!

At this moment, Song Yazhi caught a glimpse of her mother-in-law. She hurriedly pulled up her son Liang Wang and went to support her mother-in-law with a flattering face. Liang Wang hugged his grandmother's thighs tightly and burst into tears, muttering: "I miss grandma, I miss grandma..." Song Yazhi also pretended to be tearful and asked hypocritically: "Mom, where have you been for most of the day? I wanted to go find you, but Xiaowang refused to let me go. He said he was afraid that mom and grandma would not want him anymore..."

Old Mrs. Liang was so moved that her eyes filled with tears. She put her wrinkled face against Liang Wang's little face and said, "Oh, my dear grandson! Whoever said grandma doesn't want you anymore? I can't kill him," her tone revealed great intimacy and love.
