Ren Dazhuang returned to the office and looked at Xie Wan with embarrassment:
"Xiao Wan, that family is really unreasonable, their brains are filled with shit, what do you think we should do?
That old man Ren Tiezhu actually threatened to sell Ren Hai's child.
Xiao Wan, that child is your biological mother's after all. If he really sells it, I can only stop him once or twice at most, but I can't watch over him all the time."
Xie Wan had a cold face and an indifferent tone:
"That child has nothing to do with me."
She is not a good-for-nothing without principles, nor is she a saint.
She could generously donate money to help orphans she didn't know, but she was absolutely unwilling to raise a child for her enemy.
But considering the impact of the incident, she added: "Selling children is illegal. The county police will come to you to find out the situation. Just tell the truth."
Ren Dazhuang had witnessed with his own eyes the tragic abuse that Xie Wan suffered at the hands of that family when she was a child, so it was not in his power to persuade them any further.
He called the militia captain and drove Ren Tiezhu and his family out.
After returning, Xie Wan thought of what he had just seen and kindly reminded him: "Uncle Dazhuang, you should ask Auntie to question Chunmei from your family.
I suspect she has left some leverage in Ren Tiezhu's family and is being threatened by this family."
For Ren Dazhuang's sake, Xie Wan's hatred for Ren Chunmei had already faded a lot.
Ren Chunmei's current fate can be regarded as paying back for the immoral things she did in the past.
Xie Wan didn't want Ren Dazhuang to hate her in the future, so she gave him a reminder.
Ren Dazhuang thought of his daughter's panicked look and his heart skipped a beat. He spat:
"I told Chunmei to get a divorce, why is she still hesitating?
It turned out that he was threatened by that family of maggots!
Xiao Wan, please sit down first. I will go home and come back later."
Seeing him leaving in a hurry, Xie Wan hurriedly called out to him:
"Uncle Dazhuang, please go to the village and invite two ordinary villagers with clear minds to come, as well as other brigade cadres. Let's hold a meeting together to discuss the plan."
Ren Dazhuang agreed and rushed home, asking his wife to find Ren Chunmei and find out what was going on.
Xiao Fang just watched from the side, not daring to breathe.
He was really surprised. He didn't expect that Deputy County Chief Xie's life experience was so miserable. He actually grew up in this small village and was abused since childhood.
Looking at Xie Wan's current achievements, he couldn't help but feel a genuine admiration in his heart.
Xie Wan took out his work notebook and started writing and drawing on it, recording the limited information he remembered about the household contract responsibility system and the current actual situation, and began to think about a feasible plan for Renjia Village in his mind.
Seeing her working hard, Fang Wenbin seemed to understand how this little country girl grew up to be what she is today.
He followed suit, took out a pen and paper, wrote down what he knew, and took the initiative to discuss it with Xie Wan.
After a while, Ren Dazhuang ran back panting, followed by two villagers.
"Xiao Wan, do you still remember these two people? This is Zhao Hongbing, the eldest son of Mr. Zhao who lives in the east end of the village. He is from another family and has settled in our village for decades.
This is your seventh uncle's grandson, Tao Tiejun, so you two are relatives."
Xie Wan was a little overwhelmed. According to seniority, everyone in Renjia Village was her relative.
Fortunately, the two people brought by Ren Dazhuang were both in their thirties and had relatively clear minds.
They all knew Xie Wan and knew how she had disciplined Ren Tiezhu's family, so they did not rush to approach her to establish a relationship with her.
Ren Dazhuang had received Xie Wan's instructions before, so he didn't want to reveal her identity, so he just introduced her as follows:
“Isn’t our village going to implement the household contract responsibility system?
Comrade Xie is a city dweller and is well-informed. I asked her to come back and discuss with us so that we can come up with a plan that satisfies everyone.”
The village accountant, deputy captain, and militia captain were all called to the office.
After Ren Dazhuang gave his opening remarks, Xie Wan said, "I heard Uncle Dazhuang say that the previous plan encountered some resistance, and I personally think that the plan of equal distribution among families is indeed not very reasonable.
I suggest allocating it based on the number of people.
Regardless of gender, age or status, everyone has a foundation.
On this basis, we will consider differentiated allocation..."
With the ideas provided by Xie Wan, everyone immediately started to speak actively.
Xie Wan's method of dividing the contracted fields into basic fields and bidding fields successfully opened up everyone's thinking.
Ren Dazhuang thought of the widows, widowers and orphans in the village and asked if some land could be left for them.
Zhao Hongbing said bluntly: "Uncle Dazhuang, if you leave the land to them, they won't be able to grow crops. It's better to just give them food directly."
Xie Wan nodded and said, "Okay. All fields should retain a portion of grain, for example, 5 kilograms of grain per mu, as relief grain for the village.
This part of relief grain can not only be used to provide for the widows, widowers, orphans and the five-guarantee households in the village, but also as welfare grain for village primary school teachers."
Ren Dazhuang said somewhat embarrassedly: "Comrade Xie, the village primary school has been closed for a long time and there are no teachers."
Xie Wan remembered that the original owner had been to school, and attended a village primary school.
But think about the years of the movement, when even the schools in the city were closed so much, it was normal for village primary schools to be closed as well.
Although she was not in charge of education, she was the executive deputy county chief and was concerned about the affairs of the entire county, so she said:
“We still need to try our best to restore the village primary school, but this is not on the agenda for today’s discussion.
When there is enough food in the village, I think everyone will be willing to send their children to school.”
Everyone agreed to the plan of providing relief grain based on the acreage.
They believe that the most intense opposition will be to the provision regarding the distribution of basic land per capita among men, women, old and young.
Even Ren Dazhuang felt that the land allocated to men and women should be different. Men are strong laborers, while women are not as strong as men in terms of labor capacity, and they will also get married.
Xie Wan understood that this traditional concept of favoring boys over girls was difficult to break all at once.
She did not expect to change their minds immediately, so she could only use policies to make the case:
“Gender equality has been proposed for so many years, we cannot go against the policy.
If the land for men and women is divided differently, it would be a mistake in the direction.”
As soon as she said this, no one objected.
However, Xie Wan still considered the difficulties in actual operation and explained:
“You don’t have to worry about what happens to women after they get married.
Just because the land has been divided up doesn't mean it will remain unchanged forever.
An inventory is conducted every year.
When a woman gets married and her household registration is moved, the land she was allocated must be returned to the village, and the village can redistribute it to newly born people.
The same treatment applies to those who died of old age.
If those who have contracted the land fail to pay the public grain, their land will also be taken back..."
There were too many details, and several people discussed until the afternoon before they basically decided on a plan.
At this time, a police car came into the village.
Xu Bing led two young police officers into the village...
