Chapter 262 He Xiulan was beaten

"Comrade He Xiulan, this room is a bit cold, please keep your words short!"

He Xiulan glanced at Zhou Yong's face indifferently, she cleared her throat and told the story.

After negotiations, the Family Planning Office will not make a public apology, after all, it involves family planning policy issues, but they can give a pension to the family of the deceased.

Zhou Yong frowned, his dissatisfaction evident in his words: "One corpse, two lives, and it's only worth 600 yuan in compensation?"

According to the current policy on death pensions for work-related injuries, the death pension for work-related injuries is clearly stipulated to be 680 yuan.

Although the deceased did not hold a public office, his death was caused by the enforced law by the Family Planning Office.

Is a life plus an unborn child only worth six hundred yuan?

In Zhou Yong's opinion, such pension is a sheer disregard for human life.

He Xiulan frowned slightly: "Comrade Zhou Yong, you have to understand that the other party's death was caused by a violation of the policy. Even if the family planning office staff is at fault, they do not bear the main responsibility..."

Zhou Yong laughed softly and muttered to himself, "You are right. Policy is more important than human life. The dead have brought this upon themselves."

He Xiulan took in everything he said: "Are you very dissatisfied with this result?"

Zhou Yong shrugged his shoulders: "It doesn't matter whether I am satisfied or not. What matters is whether the family of the deceased is satisfied or not."

He had no authority to make decisions for the family of the deceased, so He Xiulan needed to visit the family of the deceased in person to communicate with them.

He Xiulan looked at Zhou Yong, and her tone softened: "I really tried my best in this matter. I also want to fight for more pension for the deceased, but my words are not influential..."

Zhou Yong took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, you have sought justice for the deceased, and I am very grateful to you for that..."

The fact that Ho Siu-lan was able to secure compensation for the deceased is enough to prove how powerful her background is.

Another thing is that, just as Xiulan said, the Family Planning Office does not bear the main responsibility for this matter.

Blame the policy, there is no point in saying more.

Zhou Yong asked someone to take He Xiulan to the deceased's home, and he rode his bicycle to the commune.

As for what the final outcome will be, Zhou Yong no longer cares.

Because he knew in his heart that the family of the deceased had no choice but to compromise.

Zhou Yong talked with Xu Jianmin about setting up a nursing home and the cooperation with the provincial capital’s vegetable club.

Zhou Yong had lunch in the commune canteen at noon, and in the afternoon he went to the county town with Xu Jianmin.

If you want to set up a nursing home, you need to apply and write a report, and only after it is approved can you proceed to the next step.

It was already six o'clock when Zhou Yong returned home from the county town. Before he could even catch his breath, he was dragged by Xing Laoqi to his home for dinner.

Li Caiyun and her children did not go. When Zhou Yong came back, they had already eaten.

While having dinner at Xing Laoqi's house, Zhou Yong learned from Shao Hongmei that He Xiulan had been beaten.

"He Xiulan was beaten?"

Shao Hongmei nodded: "I also heard about this afterwards. It is said that He Xiulan was seriously injured."

Zhou Yong lost all appetite and put down his chopsticks: "Sister-in-law, do you know where He Xiulan is now?"

Shao Hongmei shook her head: "I don't know."

Xing Laoqi asked in confusion: "Don't you know about this?"

"I went to the commune in the morning and to the county town in the afternoon. I just got home and you dragged me to eat..."

Xing Laoqi couldn't help but frowned: "I thought you knew about this!"

Zhou Yong shook his head: "I have to go see He Xiulan."

If the situation escalates, the higher authorities will hold people accountable, and Li Baotian, as the village chief, will bear all the consequences.

Xing Laoqi glanced at the food on the table and said, "Let's go after we have dinner!"

Things have already happened, fill your stomach first and then solve the problem.

Zhou Yong shook his head and said, "This matter is not a joke. If it is not handled properly, my father-in-law will be held accountable later..."

Ma San frowned slightly: "Brother Zhou, then you should go over and take a look, and try to make the matter less serious..."

What happened after he left in the morning is now around six o'clock in the evening. It is still unknown whether other things happened during this period.

Xing Laoqi stood up and said, "San, you wait at my house. I will go with Zhou Yong to check the situation..."

Ma San responded, and Zhou Yong and Xing Laoqi left together.

They went to Li Hongjun's home, and Zhou Yong asked about what happened.

He Xiulan had three stitches on her forehead and five stitches on the back of her head. Li Hongjun accompanied her to the village clinic to get the stitches and then sent her home.

Zhou Yong didn’t know what to say. He asked Xing Laoqi to go back, and then he went home himself.

"Why did you come back so soon?"

Zhou Yong frowned: "He Xiulan was beaten, I will go to the commune to see her..."

Li Caiyun stayed at home for a whole day and no one else came to her house, so she didn't know that He Xiulan was beaten.

Zhou Yong took four boxes of gifts and Li Hongjun accompanied him to He Xiulan's house.

The person who opened the door for them was He Xiulan. Zhou Yong walked into the house and found that she lived alone.

"Comrade He Xiulan, I'm really sorry. I went to the commune in the morning and to the county town in the afternoon. I didn't know what happened to you until I got home in the evening..."

He Xiulan looked at Zhou Yong and Li Hongjun and said, "Please sit down. I'll pour you some water."

Li Hongjun stopped her: "No, no, we are not thirsty."

He Xiulan looked at them again and silently poured each of them a teacup of water.

Zhou Yong and Li Hongjun took it politely. He Xiulan turned around and sat down. She looked neither sad nor happy: "I understand your intention. Please rest assured that I will not report this matter..."

Ho Sau-lan tried to communicate with the deceased's family, but after she explained her purpose, the other party lost control of their emotions and demanded that she exchange her life for theirs.

Naturally she refused, so the deceased's family drove her away. He Xiulan didn't want to leave, and during the scuffle, her forehead hit the door frame, and when she fell down, the back of her head accidentally hit the threshold.

The family of the deceased was at fault in this matter, and so was He Xiulan.

If she had left quietly, how could these things happen later?

So she will not pursue responsibility, let alone report the matter.

Because she knew very well that once things got out of hand, her work in Huaixi Village would become even more difficult.

After hearing what He Xiulan said, Zhou Yongxuan felt relieved.

Without waiting for Zhou Yong to say anything else, He Xiulan spoke again: "It's getting late, you guys should go back!"

Zhou Yong: “…?”

Before they could even sit down, He Xiulan started to chase them away.

Zhou Yong and Li Hongjun looked at each other, and then they stood up one after the other.

"Then you should take good care of your injuries and go back to work after you are well..."

Zhou Yong arrived home at around eight o'clock, and Li Caiyun hurriedly asked about the situation.

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she learned that He Xiulan had no intention of pursuing responsibility.

Zhou Yong’s stomach started to growl. He still hadn’t had dinner yet!

Li Caiyun smiled and said, "Are you hungry? The food is in the pot. I'll bring it out for you..."

Zhou Yong stopped Li Caiyun: "Just lie on the kang!"

He went to the kitchen to eat something, then washed his feet and got on the kang.

A dreamless night. The next day, Xing Laoqi and Ma Sanyi arrived at Li's house one after another early in the morning.

They came over to inquire about the situation and see if there was any use for them.

After learning that the incident had passed, Xing Laoqi frowned slightly: "Zhou Yong, He Xiulan was generous in this matter. If it were someone else, I'm afraid the village chief would be in trouble..."

Zhou Yong thought for a moment and said, "He Xiulan is not being magnanimous, she is doing it for the greater good."

The three of them chatted for a while, and then Xing Laoqi and Ma San went home.

Zhou Yong carried water twice and then went to the deceased's home.
