Su Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but the anger and unwillingness in his heart were like a surging tide that was difficult to calm down.

Looking at the messy new house in front of her and thinking of Li Chunhua's heinous behavior, her eyes gradually became firm and resolute.

"Old Party Secretary, I've decided to call the police."

Su Yu's voice was not loud, but it revealed unquestionable power.

Hearing this, the old Party Secretary nodded and said, "This arson incident is truly serious and not a trivial matter at all. It's better to call the police and let the public security intervene in this matter. Li Chunhua's behavior this time is too extreme. You and everyone else spent a lot of effort to build this new house, and she burned it down with just one fire. If we don't call the police, it will not only be unfair to you, but if something like this happens again in the village, and no one follows the rules, won't our village be in chaos?"

Gu Feiyue nodded vigorously at the side, "The old branch secretary is right. She must pay the price for her actions, otherwise this atmosphere will be ruined."

Uncle Niu also sighed and patted Su Yu on the shoulder. "Son, since you've made up your mind, just do it. But no matter what the final result is, don't let yourself feel wronged."

These are special times. Some minor matters can be resolved within the village, but if it involves a criminal case, we naturally have to call the police.

"Oh, I almost forgot we had a good hunting harvest this time, old Party Secretary. Daya and I had a great harvest this time in the mountains."

Uncle Niu quickly recounted how he, Su Yu, and Gu Feiyue had gone hunting that morning and had killed a wild boar and even a brown bear. The militiamen had already carried the wild boar up.

When everyone saw that the hunters had hunted three small wild boars, a 400-pound wild boar, rabbits, pheasants and a big brown bear, they were all stunned.

"How could you have caught so many during this hunt?"

Hunting wild boars is very dangerous these days, and hunting brown bears is even more dangerous. The old Party Secretary looked at the prey piled up like a small mountain in front of him, his eyes wide with surprise and admiration: "Good guys, you guys are really capable! Brown bears are rare to see, and hunting wild boars is already full of dangers. You still hunted so many, you really make our village chief proud!"

The villagers also gathered around, talking in a flurry, their eyes full of envy and admiration.

Su Yu forced a smile. Although the hunting haul was bountiful, the shadow of the burning bridal chamber still hung heavy over his heart. "Old Party Secretary, how should we divide the prey? You decide."

Su Yu said. The old Party Secretary stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "According to tradition, the hunters take the lion's share, and the rest is distributed among the villagers, young and old, so that everyone can benefit. However, this time the circumstances are special. Your family has suffered a disaster, so you deserve a larger share."

Gu Feiyue waved his hand and said, "Old Party Secretary, Su Yu's most important task right now is to take care of the house. Consider this extra prey as a way to help him get through this difficult time." Uncle Niu also echoed, "Right, right, right, Su Yu, don't refuse. We all hope that you can get better soon."

At this point, a villager suggested, "This brown bear is rare. Why not skin it and sell it for a good price to help Su Yu rebuild his house?" Everyone nodded in agreement. The old village chief also thought the idea was a good one, so he assigned a few skilled villagers to deal with the brown bear.

Su Yu thought for a moment and said to the old Party Secretary, "Old Party Secretary, we hunted wild boars and brown bears this time. I'll leave the bear gallbladder and other things to you. But considering the construction problem behind our village, why don't you build a mud brick house here?"

I want to expand the area and set up a purchasing point for the supply and marketing cooperative here. When I go to the city or the countryside, I will bring some products down, and the villagers in our village can come to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things here."

Su Yu thought that it was not a good idea to always sell things on the black market, but if he could set up a supply and marketing cooperative in the village to buy things on his behalf, then it would be natural for him to sell the agricultural and sideline products in the future.

Upon hearing this, the old Party Secretary's eyes lit up immediately, and he slapped his thigh excitedly: "Daya, your idea is brilliant! Our village has always lacked a decent shopping spot, and usually everyone has to travel a long way to buy something. If we could build a supply and marketing cooperative purchasing point here, it would be so much more convenient!"

Gu Feiyue nodded repeatedly and added, "Besides, expanding the area of ​​the adobe house will not only provide more space for the purchasing agency, but we can also think about selling other things in the future. Maybe it will boost the economy of Xiaohe Village and make life better!"

Uncle Niu looked pleased and said with a smile, "Su Yu, you have a sharp mind and think long-term. Once this purchasing point is established, our village will have closer connections with the outside world, and its future development will definitely be good!"

The villagers, upon hearing this proposal, excitedly engaged in a discussion. Some remarked that they would no longer have to make unnecessary trips to buy things, while others envisioned the purchasing outlets bringing them even more novelties. Everyone was speaking with anticipation for the future.

Su Yu watched everyone's reactions, and the gloom in his heart dissipated a little. He continued, "Old Party Secretary, once I'm done with Li Chunhua, I'll get started on the purchasing matter. But I'll still have to rely on you for the construction of the mud brick house, so thank you for your help."

The old Party Secretary patted his chest and assured: "Daya, this is a big event for our village. Everyone will definitely be happy to help. When we build the house, all the strong laborers in the village can come and lend a hand. If you need anything, just ask!"

At this time, a young man called out, "Sister Yu, I have some extra wood at home. I can bring it over to you when the time comes!" Another villager followed suit, saying, "I have some bricks at home. Although they're not much, they can still help!"
