Chapter 303 Is there no room for maneuver in this matter?
Zhou Yong raised his wrist to check the time. "Secretary He, I just got back and have a backlog of work to deal with. In the afternoon, I have to send students to the county to take the college entrance examination with Principal Ma, so I don't have time to preside over the meeting."
After listening to Zhou Yong's words, He Xiulan said: "Village head, I know you are busy, but the punishment for having more children than allowed must be implemented as soon as possible..."
Zhou Yong nodded continuously: "Let's put it this way first. I have something to go out for."
"village head?"
Zhou Yong walked out with big strides, followed closely by He Xiulan. When he saw what was happening, he got on his bike and rode away.
"village head?"
After getting rid of He Xiu Lan, Zhou Yong rode his bicycle to find Ma San.
After all the work was arranged, Zhou Yong didn't even dare to go home and went straight to the brick factory.
After spending more than an hour with Li Caiyun, Zhou Yong had lunch in the brick factory canteen. Then he returned to the village and went to the brigade to arrange some work.
At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, accompanied by Zhou Yong, Ma San and more than a dozen teachers, the students embarked on the journey to the college entrance examination.
The three-day college entrance examination ended in the blink of an eye, and Zhou Yong returned to Huaixi Village with everyone.
After entering the village, Zhou Yong thought He Xiulan would come to find him soon. It was through Zhou Ling that he learned that He Xiulan's husband had an accident.
"Do you know what happened exactly?"
Zhou Ling shook her head: "Director He didn't say anything. She hung up the phone without waiting for me to ask."
Zhou Yong narrowed his eyes and thought that with He Xiulan's ability, even if something happened to her husband, it would not be a big problem.
"Didn't you go and see?"
Zhou Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I go to different houses every day, how can I have the time to go to the county town?"
He Xiulan's home is in the county town, and her husband works in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. The couple is currently living apart.
Although Qingmu County is not far from Huaixi Village, the couple could not see each other for ten days or half a month because of work.
Zhou Yong asked Zhou Ling to go about her business, and he walked into the office thinking about He Xiulan's husband.
In the evening, when Li Caiyun got off work, Zhou Yong talked to her about He Xiulan's husband.
"Do you want to go see Secretary He? When Niuniu was in the hospital, he took the initiative to give her 500 yuan..."
"I was planning to go in two days, but after hearing what you said, let's go together tomorrow!"
"Together? Do I still need to go?"
Zhou Yong glanced at Li Caiyun who trusted him very much, and said softly: "He Xiulan is a woman, it seems inappropriate for me to visit her alone."
Li Caiyun smiled and teased Zhou Yong: "Oh, you actually know how to avoid suspicion?"
Zhou Yong secretly pinched Li Caiyun's face: "What are you saying? I always keep a certain distance from the opposite sex, okay?"
Li Caiyun slapped his hand away: "Well, I know you are a good man who is hard to find in heaven and on earth..."
Zhou Yong liked to hear this, because no matter in his past life or this life, he was a person who knew how to keep himself clean.
The next day, the couple went to the county town early. It would not be good to go there empty-handed, so Zhou Yong bought some fruits.
He Xiulan opened the door for them with a haggard face: "Why are you here? Please come in."
The couple was warmly welcomed into the courtyard by He Xiulan, and the three of them went into the house while chatting.
"You guys just come, why are you buying fruit?"
Li Caiyun took over the conversation with a smile. It was Zhou Yong's first time to visit He Xiulan's house, and he couldn't help but look at the layout of her house.
"I was so busy talking to you that I forgot to pour water for you two..."
Li Caiyun stopped her: "We are not thirsty, so please stop bothering..."
He Xiulan smiled and poured a glass of water for each of them.
Through chatting, Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun learned what had happened to He Xiulan's husband.
There are already individual business owners in the south. Although it is illegal, various departments have tacitly allowed ordinary people to do small businesses.
However, the North still lives by rules and regulations, resulting in a large gap between its economy and that of the South.
Therefore, He Xiulan's husband repeatedly reported the matter to the leaders at meetings, hoping that the leaders would allow ordinary people to do small businesses to supplement their family income.
However, this matter involved the interests of many people, so the proposal from He Xiulan's husband was not passed several times.
In a rage, He Xiulan's husband tacitly allowed several poor families to start small businesses. As a result, the vendors were arrested and they gave him away.
Now the county leaders intend to use the case of He Xiulan's husband as an example. She had to beg and plead with everyone to suppress the case, but her husband will face one to two years in prison.
Li Caiyun was sobbing when she heard this: "This vendor is such a jerk. How could he do such a thing?"
He Xiulan sighed: "It's not his fault. If he doesn't confess, and someone else tells the truth, he will implicate his family..."
Li Caiyun was speechless. She knew that what He Xiulan's husband did was for the common people, but he was not good at judging people and ended up in trouble.
It is very difficult to reverse the situation now. He Xiulan was so worried that she didn't eat for two days.
Zhou Yong frowned: "Is there no room for maneuver in this matter?"
He Xiulan sighed: "If we want to make things more manageable, we have to find the top leaders in the county..."
Zhou Yong looked at He Xiulan and thought for a while: "I do know a friend, but I don't know if he can help you."
He Xiulan was a little excited: "Does your friend know the county leaders? As long as we can have a say in front of the leaders, there is hope that this matter can be resolved..."
Zhou Yong whispered, "I can't give you any guarantees at the moment."
He Xiulan's eyes were red: "No matter what the result is, I am very grateful to you."
Zhou Yong stared at He Xiulan and checked the time: "I'm going out for a while."
They thought Zhou Yong would be back soon, but he was out for more than two hours before returning.
"What's going on?"
Seeing Zhou Yong, He Xiulan couldn't wait to ask about the results.
Zhou Yong checked the time: "Your husband should be heading home now!"
He Xiulan couldn't believe her ears: "Are you telling the truth?"
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "I won't joke about this kind of thing."
He Xiulan looked at Zhou Yong silently, her eyes full of gratitude.
"You guys take a seat, I'll go out to greet him."
Zhou Yong responded, and He Xiulan left home in a hurry.
"Who did you ask to help you with this?"
Li Caiyun asked out of curiosity.
"Chen Pingliang."
Li Caiyun said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.
Zhou Yong liked this about Li Caiyun. As long as he didn't say anything on his own initiative, Li Caiyun would never ask any questions.
In Li Caiyun's words, if Zhou Yong wanted to hide something from her, she wouldn't be able to get anything out of him even if she asked.
From this we can see that Li Caiyun is an extremely smart woman who knows how to get along with her husband.
Li Caiyun picked up the teacup and drank a sip of water: "Zhou Yong, look at how beautiful the fish tank in Secretary He's house is."
Zhou Yong noticed the fish tank as soon as he entered the room.
"You like it?"
Li Caiyun nodded with a smile, and Zhou Yong said with a smile: "I will buy you a fish tank later."
“This costs a lot of money, right?”
Li Caiyun is a woman who knows how to live, and she will never spend money that she shouldn't spend.
Zhou Yong chuckled: "It's not worth much, probably only three or five dollars."
Li Caiyun pouted: "Don't lie to me, such a big fish tank, the glass is more than three or five yuan, it must be more than ten yuan..."
The couple was discussing the price of the fish tank when He Xiulan and her husband walked into the house.
