As soon as the broadcast was broadcast, the whole village pricked up their ears.
There are no entertainment programs in the village these days. It’s only occasionally when the radio comes on that it’s a rare treat to listen to.
"Is this the voice of the lame Awang? What is he reminding?"
"Grandma! Awang is no longer lame, and he can run faster than me! He reminded everyone to worry about the rat plague! Why would we worry about rats when we have nothing to do after eating..."
"You unfilial descendant! That rat is very scary!
When I was a child, there was a rat problem.
A group of rats rushed into the cowshed and bit even the strong old ox to death. "
"What? Grandma, are you kidding?
The mouse was so small that the ox could easily crush it to death with one kick!
Is it that powerful? Is this rat not afraid of humans anymore? "
"Of course not! When mice are hungry, they will eat and bite everything. I used to be bothered by mice a lot when I was a child..."
…
There are elderly people in the family, and the broadcast notification of the forest fire brought back terrible memories of their childhood.
Many of them have already suffered from dementia and their consciousness is not clear.
But when he heard about the rat plague, he was so scared that he immediately ran to his bed.
The elderly who were still conscious immediately pulled their children and grandchildren over and told them about the horrific rat plague that happened that year.
"Master! Aren't you exaggerating? You're just like a storyteller.
Just some rats, are they that scary?"
"Grandma, you must have been timid when you were little. A few mice scared you like this. You're still so scared when you think about it now."
…
Some villagers believed it, but the vast majority of villagers who had never seen a rat plague didn't take it seriously at all.
Moreover, another person's voice was soon heard on the radio.
"The forest is raging! You are so brave.
You are not a village cadre, how dare you come to the radio room and spread rumors to confuse the public?"
This is Accountant Zhang who has rushed over. He rushed over and snatched the microphone in front of Lin Huowang.
Then he shouted into the microphone:
"Fellow villagers, I am Zhang Debiao.
Don't believe the nonsense about forest fires and rat disasters. It's all nonsense and is intended to cause panic.
In this cold winter, everyone should just stay at home and hibernate peacefully without going anywhere.
Captain Lin just told me that if anyone is short of food or clothing, they can come and register with me and borrow some from the granary temporarily."
This is the strategy that Lin Jianguo taught Accountant Zhang to win people's hearts. As he controls the village's grain storage warehouse, who doesn't have financial difficulties sometimes?
Normally, Lin Jianguo, the team leader of the production team, always kept a close eye on the granary, and it was basically difficult for ordinary villagers to borrow grain from him.
The answer is that there is not much grain left in the granary, and the answer is that he is not the only one who has the final say on borrowing grain.
Only those who had a good relationship with him, were useful to him, and had given him gifts in the past could successfully borrow grain.
And now...
Under the instruction of Lin Jianguo, Accountant Zhang used the tactic of "borrowing grain".
As expected, the effect was immediately seen. Many villagers who had little grain stored at home had already made up their minds to go to the brigade's granary.
Even if you can just borrow five or ten kilograms of corn flour, it would be great, at least the family can have a few more full meals.
"Okay! Everyone just stay home and don't listen to Lin Shuisheng and Lin Huowang talking nonsense about rat plague.
If you need to borrow food, please go to the team’s granary immediately. Each household can borrow up to 10 kilograms of corn flour..."
After sending this notice, Accountant Zhang pulled out the microphone to prevent the forest fire from continuing to confuse the public.
"Accountant Zhang, what do you mean?
I just issued those notices with the consent of Deputy Captain Lin Shuisheng."
Lin Huowang crossed his arms and questioned Accountant Zhang with a smile.
"It doesn't matter! Anyway, since you are not a brigade cadre, you are not qualified to use the microphone to make announcements.
If Lin Shuisheng has any notification, let him come and deliver it in person.
Otherwise, anyone could come to the team headquarters and broadcast, which would be disastrous.
You said that it was Lin Shuisheng who called you here. Do you have any evidence? If you can't produce evidence, you are not qualified!"
As soon as the accountant finished his boastful words, Lin Huowang slapped him in the face without any courtesy.
Bang!
Accountant Zhang nearly fainted from the pain. He touched his mouth and found it was bleeding. One of his teeth had been knocked out by Lin Huowang.
"Lin Huowang! How dare you hit me?
Believe it or not, I will call the militia over right now to arrest you.
Intentional injury, I will take you to the commune for target practice!!!"
Accountant Zhang, who was furious, glared at Lin Huowang angrily.
Lin Huowang walked to the door of the broadcasting room without haste, and then pretended to have just come in from outside, looking at Accountant Zhang in surprise and said:
"Ah! Accountant Zhang!
Were you beaten?
Who is it? How do you know that our accountant Zhang deserves a beating? "
"Lin Huowang, you were the one who beat him, why don't you play dumb?"
Accountant Zhang was so angry that his eyes were about to burst into flames.
"Me? Impossible!
Accountant Zhang, you said that I was the one who slapped you.
Do you have any evidence? If you can't produce any evidence, you are framing me!
This won’t work! If those people out there get beaten up for talking too much and then all accuse me of beating them up, then I’ll be totally wronged.”
Lin Huowang stretched out his hand with a smile and gestured towards Accountant Zhang's face.
Accountant Zhang was so frightened that he ran out of the broadcasting room, shouting as he ran:
