Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack-Chapter 108. Passing the buck

Fuming with anger, the accountant Sun tossed out a firm "No way, there’s no negotiation on this matter" and stormed off. Lian Hai was supporting two labor reform personnel who were feverish and disoriented, chasing behind him, trying to persuade Accountant Sun to reconsider.

"Reconsider? Reconsider my ass!

Hurry up and get in the car; stop with the chatty nonsense.

Do you really think the money of Liujia Village’s production brigade falls from the sky? Just because you flap your lips, the money’s gone? Hell no!

Enough of your life-threatening ozone layer nonsense. A bunch of rotten intellectuals and blacklisted people—they came down to receive labor reform. It’s considered my good-heartedness to let them off with some criticism before sending them to the hospital.

Hmph, you, Lian Hai, really are open-minded. freēnovelkiss.com

I wonder what your motives are for getting close to class enemies like this..."

"Accountant Sun, that’s not right. Our Hai Zi is here with you to complete the task assigned by the village. Seeing the sick people, he wants to send them to the hospital for better task completion. If these severely ill ones actually end up in trouble, wouldn’t the higher-ups hold you both accountable?" Watching her brother-in-law potentially get scapegoated again, Liu Shuzhen stood up with a cold face.

Already in a foul mood, being repeatedly contradicted and corrected didn’t help.

Ordinarily, he might have considered Liu Shuzhen’s status as a former daughter-in-law of the Dai family and her unborn child. But now, being humiliated in front of the rotten elements, he just wanted to lash back fiercely.

He shot Liu Shuzhen a disdainful glance and sneered, "It’s fine if your family lacks discipline, but is big matter in the team something a woman like you can just interrupt?"

With one sentence, Lianshan, Lian Hai, and Ning Jianshe rolled up their sleeves, clearly intending to gang up on him.

Seeing this, Liu Shuzhen quickly intervened; although knowing he’s a grasshopper post-autumn just days away. Until the cold winter thoroughly finished him, he’s still the accountant of Liujia Village’s production brigade, right?

If he gets a good beating at their hands, there’d definitely be troublesome consequences.

More so, his antics would certainly motivate Lin Yuanzhi and Dai Honghua to jump in too, not missing a chance to completely crush her family.

Why make things more complicated if she could easily resolve it with verbal sparring? Liu Shuzhen had no mind to involve the brothers in this mess!

Giving the brothers a ’watch me’ look, Liu Shuzhen confronted Accountant Sun with righteous indignation: "Nowadays, the whole country is advocating for gender equality in the workplace. The Great Leader said women hold up half the sky. Accountant Sun, you keep using derogatory terms for women, which is utterly contemptuous. Do you discriminate against our vast number of female comrades, or do you have objections to the Great Leader’s call?"

Isn’t it all about scapegoating?

Come, who’s afraid of whom?

This aunt has been actively studying and memorizing the Selected Works of Mao since her rebirth.

Test my patience, and I’ll make sure you won’t be able to say a word!

"You, you don’t change the subject; we’re talking about Lian Hai’s noncompliance with leadership and his zeal for class enemies. Don’t think you can divert the subject simply by labeling me!" Ling Kong was nearly scared out of his wits by the heavy accusation of discriminating against female comrades and opposing the Great Leader’s call.

To avoid being taken advantage of by Liu Shuzhen, he had no choice but to assume airs, attempting to seize Lian Hai’s advocacy for labor personnel and defiance as the focus.

The game plan was both sides taking a step back and not pursuing the matter further.

At death’s door yet still arrogant; if it weren’t for the issue concerning three lives and the safety of her brother-in-law, Liu Shuzhen would have just walked away, leaving this fool to self-destruct.

But seeing those three people in thin clothes, trembling and feverish, barely able to stand, Liu Shuzhen couldn’t coax herself to walk away to save her own skin.

"Class enemies?

Ha, their background might be bad; or perhaps, they’ve done wrong things and took wrong paths, which categorized them as the black five elements.

But since they’re down here for re-education by the poor and lower-middle peasants, they can be united and transformed. The Great Leader said knowing mistakes and rectifying them still makes a good comrade. I firmly believe once these are treated and transformed well in Liu Family Village, within three years, they’ll be patriotic comrades who love the Party.

And if Accountant Sun insists on ignoring lives, then what’s ruined isn’t just these three blacklisted individuals.

Moreover, if you were tasked with receiving eleven labor reform personnel, and after a day’s work at least three are missing, I wonder if Accountant Sun, your shoulders can bear the responsibility?

Of course, you can pin all the blame on my brother-in-law.

But setting aside his ability to override a noble accountant like you, we absolutely won’t just watch as you slander him." Liu Shuzhen sneered, skillfully blending soft and hard tactics.

The three siblings from the Lian family and Ning Jianshe stood loyally beside her like protective forces.

Accountant Sun gritted his teeth in fury, wanting to tear Liu Shuzhen apart. Yet, he had concerns — if he stubbornly pressed on against six people with five opposing, and insisted on battling through the storm, any misfortune arising from it would be too much responsibility for him to bear.

After all, even though Liu Shuzhen’s words were extremely harsh, they weren’t entirely devoid of reason.

No matter how terrible it is, these are ultimately three lives, not something he could gloss over with a simple lip-flap.

But getting out of it through excuses, that’s possible, right?

Coincidentally, two ox-carts arrived, transporting the eleven people could totally be split into two groups!

Lianshan’s cart was equipped with a tent, windproof and snowproof, perfect for the five ranging from severely to mildly ill.

This honorable and arduous task could be handed over to Lian Hai.

Haha, if managed well, it’s a sign of his leadership skills; but if he accidentally manages them to death, that’s just the chance to hold Lian Hai accountable and avenge today’s repeated confrontations and humiliations.

Having figured out his strategy, Accountant Sun promptly announced his decision, swiftly shifting the blame with no hesitation.

His shamelessness was so astounding it left Lian Yue stunned. The three brothers Lianshan, Lian Hai, and Ning Jianshe, who had just been persuaded to calm down, were ready to raise their fists again, thinking strongly of giving this "son" a good beating.
