The team leader was taken over by the county public security bureau, and all the items found at the Xu Family's home were to be taken away.
Ma Jiuxiang, with tears and snot streaming down her face, blocked the doorway. "What has Xu Wenchang done? My children and I had no idea! If you take all the money and property from our home, how will we live?"
The people from the Red Committee, already frustrated by their fruitless trip, now found an outlet for their anger. They bound Ma Jiuxiang as well, declaring, "As Xu Wenchang's wife, you must also return with us for questioning."
At this, Ma Jiuxiang was dumbfounded. Her hands grasped the doorframe as she cried, "I know nothing! I won't go!"
But no one listened. Two members of the Red Committee promptly pulled her away.
In her panic, Ma Jiuxiang cried out to the crowd for help, "Branch Secretary, please help me! I truly know nothing!"
