Chapter 199 Zhou Yong is suspected of corruption and bribery...
Before, Zhou Yong wanted to turn around and leave when he saw Zhou Ling, but now she can say a few words in front of his elder brother.
Even this small change made Zhou Ling very happy.
"Brother? Please don't be like this, okay? Just give me a chance!"
Zhou Yong didn't say a word. Zhou Ling trotted beside him, her mouth never idle.
Zhou Ling didn't shut up until they were almost in front of the well.
As there were many people carrying water, she couldn't bring trouble to her elder brother.
Everyone lined up to get water. Zhou Yong got some water and went back. Zhou Ling looked at her brother's back. She smiled like a child and made a face.
Zhou Yong turned back to fetch water again. This time he did not meet Zhou Ling, but met Zhao Min.
However, Zhao Min just said hello to Zhou Yong and did not mention that Zhou Ling wanted to go to work.
Zhou Yong returned home again carrying two buckets of water. The Li family had also had dinner.
The family sat around the kang table, talking and laughing while eating. This kind of ordinary and warm life was something Zhou Yong had never dared to imagine.
The four children finished their meal and left home. Zhang Guifang shook her head helplessly: "They don't mind the cold either."
Li Baotian smiled and continued, "They are not stupid. Why don't they go home when it's cold?"
Children are like this, no matter how cold the weather is, they like to play outside.
After dinner, Zhang Guifang and Li Caiyun, mother and daughter, cleaned up the dishes. Zhou Yong wanted to go back to the west room to see if Li Jingan was awake, but was stopped by Li Baotian.
Ten people filled out applications to purchase houses today. Li Baotian wants to discuss with Zhou Yong how to allocate the housing quotas.
These ten people were related to several families in Huaixi Village, and they all came to Li Baotian, hoping that their relatives' applications would be approved.
The problem now is that Huaixi Village does not accept villagers from the surrounding villages to relocate, but some people rely on their relationship with the Li family and always create problems for Li Baotian.
Zhou Yong sat on the edge of the kang, sweeping it with a feather duster: "Dad, you decide on this matter yourself. I don't have a good solution to the problem..."
Li Baotian glared: "How do you want me to decide?"
Zhou Yong put down the feather duster and stood up: "Dad, this little thing won't be difficult for you."
"Where are you going?"
"I'll go to the west room to see if the child is awake."
Li Baotian seemed to want to say something but hesitated, so Zhou Yong quickly ran away.
"You little brat, you only know how to give me problems."
Li Baotian scolded Zhou Yong with a smile, and the smile on his face disappeared without a trace the next second.
In fact, no matter who is in charge of this matter, it will be tiring. Everyone is related to each other, and things cannot be done too absolutely. But once you give in on some things, the subsequent things will be out of control.
Li Baotian was in a dilemma. Zhou Yong didn't care about the situation, so as the village chief he had to deal with it himself.
Around six o'clock in the evening, Qin Laoliu came to the Li family.
His daughter and son-in-law wanted to move to Huaixi Village and hoped that Li Baotian would be flexible.
Li Baotian sent Qin Laoliu away. He had no choice but to call Zhou Yong to the east room.
The father-in-law and son-in-law stared at each other, and in the end the problem was not resolved.
The next day, the moment Zhou Yong opened his eyes, his eyelids twitched. He told Li Caiyun about it.
Li Caiyun tore off a small piece of paper and stuck it on Zhou Yong's eyelids, but it had no effect at all.
In the morning, only Zhou Yong's right eyelid twitched, but in the afternoon, his left eyelid also started twitching.
Zhou Yong thought he would be fine after a good night's sleep, but the next day his eyelids were twitching rhythmically.
It was as if the double flash was turned on. The left eyelid twitched first, then the right eyelid, and sometimes there was a mixed twitching.
Zhou Yong endured it for three days, but finally he couldn't stand it anymore and went to see Doctor Shen.
Doctor Shen didn't have any good solution for his eyelid twitching, so Zhou Yong went to the commune clinic again.
Since medicine is not well developed nowadays, even doctors at health centers do not understand problems with facial nerves.
Zhou Yong returned home, but his eyelids were still twitching.
Three days later, Zhou Yong's eyelids finally stopped twitching. At around eight o'clock in the morning, six comrades from the county's disciplinary inspection commission came to him.
Someone reported that Zhou Yong was suspected of corruption, bribery, abuse of power and using his power for personal gain while in office.
In order to prevent Zhou Yong from destroying evidence and colluding with others, he was detained in the duty room of the Huaixi Village Brigade.
The incident happened suddenly, and the disciplinary inspection personnel believed that it was the best time to collect evidence of Zhou Yong's guilt. They informed the villagers of the incident through radio.
The broadcast clearly stated that any villager who could provide evidence of Zhou Yong's crimes, if verified to be true, would receive a certain reward.
This measure aims to encourage villagers to actively provide information so that comrades working on discipline inspection can find out the truth as soon as possible.
As soon as the incident happened, it caused a sensation in Huaixi Village. Many people came out of their homes and gathered in groups of three or five to discuss the matter.
After listening to the broadcast, Li Baotian's head was buzzing. The discipline inspection comrade talked to him and he asked to meet Zhou Yong, but the discipline inspection comrade refused very flatly.
Afterwards, Li Baotian rushed to the commune to find Xu Jianmin, but he didn't expect that he was also under disciplinary inspection because of the Zhou Yong incident.
Li Baotian didn't even see Xu Jianmin, so he had no choice but to go home and think of a solution.
"Dad, what should I do?"
Li Baotian sighed, and Li Baoshan continued: "As long as Zhou Yong has not done those things, the disciplinary inspection comrades will clear his name after investigation..."
Li Hongjun glanced at Li Baoshan who said this and said, "Dad, please say less!"
Li Baoshan looked puzzled: "Did I say something wrong?"
Li Hongjun pursed his lips, and the other members of the Li family remained silent.
Zhang Guifang sighed: "What should I do?"
Li Caiyun held Li Jingan and swayed for a few times, her heart already in a mess.
The room was quiet for a moment, and Li Baotian looked at everyone: "You all go back, I will notify you if there is anything..."
The Li family members left one by one, and soon Zhou Ling and Zhao Min came.
"Sister-in-law, don't get angry. Others may not know what kind of person my brother is, but you don't know? I don't believe that he is corrupt, abuses his power, or uses his power for personal gain..."
Li Caiyun frowned: "I know your elder brother well, but the people in the disciplinary inspection department don't know!"
Zhou Ling frowned slightly, and Zhao Min said, "Sister-in-law, didn't you go to find Xu Jianmin?"
It would have been fine if this matter had not been mentioned. Li Caiyun became even more angry when it was mentioned.
Xu Jianmin was implicated and investigated because of Zhou Yong's incident, and Li Caiyun was filled with apologies.
When Zhou Ling and Zhao Min learned that Xu Jianmin was being investigated, they both gasped.
"Is it that serious?"
This question was asked by Zhao Min.
Could it be that the situation wasn't serious?
Xu Jianmin was the secretary of the commune, and Zhou Yong was the team leader of the Huaixi Village production team and also worked part-time as the director of the brick factory. If the two of them joined forces to embezzle and accept bribes, the consequences would be very bad.
Li Baotian suddenly stood up: "No, we can't just sit there and wait for death. Apparently someone is framing Zhou Yong. I have to go to the county town..."
Zhao Min stood up and said, "Village Chief, I'll go with you."
After thinking about it, Li Baotian agreed so that the two of them could take care of each other.
However, before they could leave, the disciplinary inspection personnel came to Li's house.
"Comrade Li Baotian, we want to talk to you. Please come with us to the brigade."
Li Baotian frowned slightly: "Didn't we talk this morning? Why do we need to talk again?"
The answer given by the disciplinary inspection comrades was that they suspected that he had concealed everything, so they needed to ask him to go back and cooperate with the investigation.
