Chapter 219: A Perfect Resolve
Su Xiao's words moved Zhao Xi somewhat. Indeed, the only punishment the village committee could offer was to do more dirty and tiring work.
But he couldn't bring himself to say it, so he just held his wine glass and said calmly, "What's the point of saying all this now? Anyway, it's already as you wished."
Su Xiao smiled slightly and then praised, "Uncle, you are a veteran cadre, and I believe you are only doing this for the good of Xiaoheshan Village. But it is precisely for the sake of Xiaoheshan Village that fairness and justice are even more necessary. Haven't you always done a good job before? I have always felt the simple and honest folk customs and harmonious neighborly relations in Xiaoheshan Village."
Zhao Xi felt a deep sense of agreement. Yes, he was doing it all for the good of Xiaoheshan Village.
"The spirit of Xiaheshan Village cannot be ruined by a malignant tumor. If there is a tumor, it should be cut out. It cannot be left to spread and become irreversible..." Su Xiao sighed earnestly.
Zhao Xi understood, and was truly powerless to refute it. He sighed softly and said, "Never mind."
"You came here today just to talk about this?" Zhao Xi asked back.
"I came here to apologize. I know I acted impulsively and caused you..."
"Alright, alright, let's skip the formalities and just tell me why you've come." Zhao Xi was annoyed that she was reopening old wounds. What, was it a good thing to lose face? Why did she keep bringing it up? It was so annoying.
"Hehe." Su Xiao chuckled awkwardly, then frowned and said, "Uncle, this matter should be over by now, but I've heard that there have been a lot of rumors circulating in the village recently, which is causing Huang Zhiqing a lot of trouble."
"Is that so?" Zhao Xi's eyes flickered. In fact, he had heard some of the rumors, but he hadn't paid any attention to them.
"Yes, sir, I've heard some people say that Zhao Lichun was wronged. Are they questioning the impartiality of the police?"
Although Huang Feiyan tried her best to act as if nothing was wrong, Su Xiao still found out and felt even more sorry for Huang Feiyan.
“That’s not true.” Zhao Xi frowned and denied it. “I will investigate this matter and will definitely not let the rumors continue to spread.”
Su Xiao smiled, "I believe in your abilities, Uncle. It's just..."
"Just what? Tell me." Zhao Xi only wanted to settle this matter now and had no time to upset Su Xiao. Who in their right mind would say something like questioning the police's competence? If that got out, what would the police station and the police do to them?
Every day, if I don't keep an eye on them, they just keep causing trouble. Sigh...
Zhao Xi was exhausted.
Taking the opportunity, Su Xiao said, "Huang Zhiqing has been so disturbed these days that she's been quite listless. I'm worried something might happen to her if she's alone. I'd like her to come to work with me. Is that alright?"
Su Xiao looked at Zhao Xi earnestly, her eyes full of expectation.
Zhao Xi frowned. "How can we do this together? You don't need two people to collect eggs over there."
Su Xiao suggested, "We can let her cut pig feed and cook pig feed. Grandpa Cai and the others left, leaving Grandpa Hua all alone to take care of so many pigs and sheep. He hasn't slept well for days."
"Oh dear, look at me, I completely forgot about that." Zhao Xi looked like she had just remembered, and was very annoyed. "How about I find a few people to help?"
Su Xiao shook her head, "Let's not do it for now. Huang Zhiqing is enough on her own. The piglets and lambs are still small and don't eat much. We can add more people later when they're bigger. What do you think?"
“Alright, then let Huang Zhiqing go.” Zhao Xi readily agreed.
Su Xiao secretly gave a thumbs-up, "Thank you, Secretary Zhao."
