During the conversation, Suihe noticed that whenever certain sensitive topics were mentioned, such as people and things outside the village, the old people would always become silent or change the subject, which further deepened his suspicion that there might be some unspeakable secrets in the village.
Speaking of changes in the village, Suihe used the example of Guanjia Village, under the leadership of his fourth uncle over a decade ago, to recount the changes before and after the change of village chief. He then fabricated a fake village chief, claiming he bullied the villagers and committed all sorts of evil, calling him a complete villain. The conversation then shifted to comparing the changes since the change of village chief, with all the older people listening in silence.
After Suihe finished speaking, no one spoke for a while. Then the old man who had spoken to Suihe at the beginning sighed, with a complicated look in his eyes: "Alas, the world has changed, and people's hearts have changed with it. Although our village is small, it has not been easy to have peace and tranquility in recent years. Sometimes, less trouble is worse than more, and everyone is also trying to seek stability."
Suihe's heart moved, thinking that this might be a breakthrough, so he said more sincerely: "Uncle, I understand what you mean. But sometimes when you encounter injustice, you can't just accept oppression blindly. You must resist to the end. Now it's a new society. The Party will take care of us, and the country will take care of us. It's impossible to let those bandits and bad guys continue to run rampant. Don't worry. If this situation really still exists now, it must be because the leaders don't know about it. When they find out, they will definitely solve it on the spot without a second's delay and give us people justice!"
The old man was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head slowly: "Young man, we appreciate your kindness. But from ancient times to the present, officials protect each other, and in the end it is us ordinary people who suffer. Alas, this is a foregone conclusion. You feel unfair and make trouble, but when the people who uphold justice for you are gone, you will be the one who will be solved in the end. Don't believe what I say."
The old man's words revealed a lot of helplessness. Suihe couldn't ask any further questions, so he could only pretend to care about Aunt Sun's life and ask about the situation of Aunt Sun's family.
"Hey, Xiao Geng's mother is a miserable person, but as for her family affairs, child, listen to me, the old man, and don't get involved. Don't get involved! If you want to see her, come and see her, and then go back to where you came from. Remember! Don't ask about other things!"
There was a lot of information in this statement, and Yihe almost couldn't hold it in. There are too many problems. Don't worry, solve them one by one.
What is Huang Xiaoju doing now?
Samsoon and I were talking about this in their "love nest" in the county town!
Huang Xiaoju was anxious to see Aunt Sun die, but she was constantly distracted by one thing and another. This time, she gave Aunt Sun the full dose of Sanshun, but she showed no signs of recovery. She froze in the yard for days, dying of natural causes. Then, they'd say she'd died outside, childless, and no one would question her. It was a perfect plan, but that damned fellow soldier messed it up.
Huang Xiaoju lay on the bed with a sinister expression on her face. This was completely different from the Huang Xiaoju that the villagers had seen before. Samsoon finally smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the ferocious Huang Xiaoju. This was the look he wanted. This was the "perfect" woman in his mind.
After entering the room and closing the door, Sam-soon "chatted about life" on the bed with his beloved Huang Xiaoju.
