Chapter 420 The Conference Ends
"Next, I will inform the entire village about what these people did, the consequences, and the punishments they will receive!"
“Jiang Shengli, with the help of the people of Lin Village last December, operated a small casino under the guise of running a small shop.”
"And through compound interest, the thirteen people of Jiangcun were made to incur gambling debts."
"They conspired with the people of Lin Village to successfully collect debts from five families, amounting to hundreds of thousands of yuan."
"Furthermore, I myself am involved in gambling involving hundreds of thousands of dollars."
“At last year’s village meeting, the village committee announced that starting last year, Jiang Shengli would no longer enjoy any income from the village collective.”
"At the same time, if they commit the same offense again within three years, they will be expelled from the Jiang family genealogy."
“In May of this year, Jiang Shengli once again partnered with people from Jiangcun to participate in gambling.”
At this point, the head of security paused suddenly, then looked in a certain direction before saying, "But he redeemed himself by not only successfully bringing Jiang Guoli and the others out of the casino."
"We also notified the police, who then busted a fraud ring that conspired to swindle Jiangcun's demolition compensation, as well as two individuals who committed marriage fraud."
"According to the village committee's regulations and the consensus reached by the clan elders, the punishment imposed on Jiang Shengli last year will be cancelled this year."
In the crowd, a young man wearing a floral shirt and sunglasses stood up proudly, with a thick gold chain around his neck that was as thick as a finger.
He even waved to everyone in Jiangcun.
An Songyu didn't realize who Jiang Shengli was at first, but when she saw his familiar outfit, she immediately recognized him.
But... isn't this guy cold?
Even though the temperature isn't too low today, she can still wear a light jacket in this kind of weather!
"In addition, last year, Jiang Shengli's parents were held responsible for their inadequate supervision, and according to the village committee's new regulations, the village collective enterprise will have its profits suspended for three months."
"The proceeds from the penalty will continue to be invested in the village's collective enterprises."
"In addition, it was found that Jiang Shengli's grandfather was responsible for covering up the crime and was punished along with his parents."
"This part of the penalty will continue in accordance with regulations, and it will be directly reflected in this year's financial statements and dividends."
"Next, the second one, Jiang Yang..."
"The last one, Jiang Guoli..."
The security chief's explanation lasted for nearly half an hour.
He was arguably the most talkative and authoritative member of the entire village committee.
However, from his words, An Songyu could also clearly sense that the one who actually received the most punishment was someone everyone was familiar with.
It was all caused by those arrogant and ignorant people in the village after the demolition last year.
After leaving the Sunshine Community, or perhaps after the punishment was announced last year, the people who followed generally behaved much better.
Of course, there are some minor issues.
But it was only reported by the security chief to serve as a warning to everyone.
There are virtually no cases where village collective income needs to be deducted.
No wonder, after the security chief finished speaking, no one from the village stood up to object as they had last time.
However, I was filled with curiosity about how Jiang Shengli was able to redeem himself through meritorious service.
But what intrigued Jiang Songyu even more was: "Why haven't I heard anyone mention this before?"
Having already inquired about the situation, Yuan Qionghua told everyone, "Because we are cooperating with the police, we are worried that the fraud ring is still operating outside, which is why we haven't publicized it."
"Although it was mentioned here today, I reckon the village committee will give everyone a special reminder later."
Sure enough, the village committee members took turns going next.
Besides the village chief emphasizing the development prospects of Jiangcun and its collective enterprises for next year to An Jianxing, the others also talked about some important events.
The head of security did indeed reiterate this point.
An Songyu listened with some emotion.
In comparison, Jiangcun and its village collective enterprises, though unassuming, have developed their industries better than their own!
When An Songyu heard Jiang Cun announce to the entire village that they would try to establish a tourism team next year and seek business from outside, he was amazed by the villagers.
She couldn't even fathom whether this business opportunity had always existed and had been discovered by them.
It was because they did good things that they had the opportunity.
"Xiaoyu, if I remember correctly, it seems that you were the one who suggested this to the villagers?" Xuan Ying asked, blinking her eyes.
The moment the village committee members brought it up, the villagers got so excited that she couldn't hear it clearly.
An Songyu smiled and shook her head.
She only said it casually; the fact that things have developed to this point has absolutely nothing to do with her.
The village collective will not receive much in dividends this year, but it is a genuine and entirely personal gain.
This made many people in the village even more hopeful.
Even when the village committee mentioned the investment that would be made next year, not one of them supported it.
In this atmosphere, four-fifths of the annual general meeting of all villagers in Jiangcun concluded.
Next, the village will discuss some important matters that require everyone's participation.
For example, ancestor worship during the Lunar New Year, and family reunion dinners in Jiangcun.
By the time this village committee meeting ended, it was already time for them to have another meal here.
"Everyone seems to be in a pretty good mood!" An Songxiang sat in the passenger seat, watching the crowd waving goodbye.
They're all going back to almost the same place later anyway!
An Songyu waited until the car in front had passed before starting the engine, waving to people as she said, "Maybe they were all saying good things?"
“Everything is a good thing? Punishment can’t be considered a good thing!” An Songxiang immediately retorted.
"But those severe penalties were already announced last year."
"Bringing it up again today is just to explain the situation." An Songyu drove the car out of the old factory gate with a deft hand.
As An Songxiang watched, she suddenly smiled and said, "Sister, we've really all grown up!"
An Songyu was a little confused, but she couldn't turn around to look at her while she was driving.
So he asked, "Growing up is natural... but there must be a specific reason why you suddenly brought this up!"
"Sis, haven't you noticed how much more skillful you are at driving now?" An Songxiang said, recalling how they were when they first bought the car.
An Songyu was slightly taken aback. Yes... she almost thought that even if she could do it all over again, she still wouldn't be able to do things well.
Now it's as simple as eating and drinking.
Thinking about it this way, An Songyu suddenly realized something.
Perhaps being reborn doesn't require her to achieve great things, nor does it require her to make her already uneventful life even smoother.
Instead, it's just like she's driving right now.
She can live her life more earnestly.
To change some small things that she had never dared to, was unwilling to, or even considered.
That's enough!
