Chapter 459: Taking Advantage of the Situation
Li Guangtian knew that Ye Qing and Shen Ninglu had a special relationship. He said this to force Shen Ninglu and Ye Qing to submit.
When Ye Qing heard Li Guangtian talking about the contract fee, he suddenly realized something. No wonder he was asked to forgive Li Youwei right from the start.
It’s just for the contract fee.
For him, it was done.
He felt that Li Guangtian was probably not just after the contract fee. Li Youwei was able to become the richest man in Nancun and make a lot of money, which was definitely due to the support of the villagers.
First of all, there's something very strange.
Li Youwei spent money to obtain the contract rights for the waters of Longwan Island, but he did not breed anything there.
Li Youwei is so kind-hearted that he gives money to the village, but he doesn't want any benefits for himself?
Obviously impossible!
There must be something fishy going on here.
Now that he has obtained the contract rights for the waters of Longwan Island, in order to prevent any hidden dangers, he specially consulted the old village chief. The old village chief said that Li Guangtian has always been fully responsible for this matter.
In fact, the old village chief felt that he lacked energy several years ago, so he handed over many things to Li Guangtian and his subordinates.
He would only come forward to mediate when there was a major conflict in the village.
It wasn't until Shen Ninglu came that he completely let go of the burden.
Shen Ninglu is not the old village chief. After coming here, he was to find out the situation in the village and, by the way, took back all the power that originally belonged to the village chief.
There are many interests involved in this, so Li Guangtian and others naturally felt dissatisfied.
Li Guangtian was making trouble for Shen Ninglu over the matter of the contract fee for Longwan Island.
Ye Qing also had malicious associations, believing that there was a transfer of interests between Li Guangtian and Li Youwei.
Now that Li Youwei has been arrested, Li Guangtian might want to take this opportunity to rescue Li Youwei.
Shen Ninglu frowned slightly, and also felt that this matter was a bit tricky, and said: “Li Youwei’s attitude is still unclear, and we need to confirm it.”
"Also, I don't think our village has to beg Li Youwei for the contract fee."
"Ye Qing has made it clear that he is unwilling to reconcile."
"I support his decision."
"There must be other solutions to this problem."
She didn't want to argue about Ye Qing's forgiveness, but she really couldn't think of any good solution for the time being, so she could only postpone it as much as possible.
Things are done by doing. It is impossible to solve problems by just talking.
Li Guangtian sneered: "Village Chief Shen is still too young."
"You like to think optimistically. Do you really expect Li Youwei to come to his senses, mend his ways, and return the contracting rights to the village?"
"I can tell you very clearly that it is impossible."
The others nodded, agreeing with Li Guangtian's words.
They know Li Youwei too well.
Seeing everyone's attitude, Li Guangtian struck while the iron was hot and said, "Village Chief Xiao Shen, you really have to listen to me on this matter."
"You can't just protect Ye Qing wholeheartedly just because you have a good relationship with him."
"How can his personal interests be compared with the collective interests of our village?"
"We must prioritize the overall situation."
Clerk Li Tong looked at the others, and no one spoke.
Li Tong sighed.
He wanted to help Shen Ninglu, but he didn’t know how.
Or Ye Qing would be wronged.
Otherwise the village won’t get the money.
He felt that the current situation was simply unsolvable and there was no perfect solution.
Seeing everyone's silence, Li Guangtian said in a more assertive tone, "What I say represents the attitude of everyone in the village."
"Since you said you want to come up with a solution, then come up with one now and let's discuss its feasibility."
Kangzi slammed the table and stood up: "This represents the attitude of everyone in the village. How come I didn't know about this?"
"Have I authorized you to represent me?"
"How dare you force Village Chief Xiao Shen like this!"
He was so angry that Li Guangtian actually wanted to force Shen Ninglu to persuade Ye Qing to forgive Li Youwei.
What?
Want Ye Qing to remain single?
Ye Qing and Shen Ninglu finally had some atmosphere between a man and a woman. If there was a rift because of this incident, how could they stay together in the future?
Li Guangtian curled his lips and said, "She is the village chief. If she doesn't take responsibility, who will? If I were the village chief, I would definitely take this matter on and solve it without hesitation."
Hearing this, everyone looked at him. Everyone present was smart and could naturally hear that Li Guangtian wanted to seize power.
In such a situation, everyone is even more afraid to speak casually, for fear of being seen as taking sides.
Li Guangtian looked at Ye Qing again and asked earnestly, "Qingzi, can you really bear to see Village Chief Shen suffer?"
"For the sake of Village Chief Xiao Shen and the village, please bear with it."
"Isn't it just a letter of apology? I don't think it's a big deal. Even if you issue it, Li Youwei may not be released."
"You donated money to the village before, which proves that you have feelings for the village."
"You don't want our village to have difficulty carrying out work because of the lack of this money, and for the elderly and widows in our village to lose their benefits, right?"
To be honest, Li Guangtian is very good at speaking, at least when it comes to taking sides and using moral blackmail, he is a master at it.
First, he threw all the problems onto Shen Ninglu, and then used this to threaten Ye Qing.
For both personal and public reasons, Ye Qing couldn't refuse.
Shen Ninglu watched Li Guangtian morally blackmailing Ye Qing, and for the first time felt the difficulty of the job.
In a village dominated by clans, human relationships are more important than anything else. If you really care about right and wrong, it will be even more difficult to deal with.
It's fine when nothing goes wrong, but once something goes wrong, all kinds of troubles will arise.
Shen Ninglu was rarely angry and said, "Enough..."
Everyone else was shocked.
Li Guangtian was calm and not frightened. He said so much for the village. What could Shen Ninglu do to him?
As long as he is devoted to the village, Shen Ninglu can't do anything and has to endure his meddling in various matters.
Nancun is not a place where a little girl can have the final say, let alone an outsider.
If the villagers knew about this, they might even thank him.
In fact, the more anxious and angry Shen Ninglu is, the better it is.
Li Guangtian turned his head to look at Ye Qing and raised his eyebrows. "Boy, you see it, why don't you just behave yourself? If you continue to make trouble, it will not be good for you and Shen Ninglu!"
He felt that Ye Qing was a smart man and would definitely bow his head.
Faced with this situation where things were going wrong, Ye Qing was not surprised at all.
This is the norm in the village.
This is just the beginning. When the Chinese New Year comes and people who work outside the village come back, some elderly people will take advantage of their seniority, point fingers, and say things that make people feel uncomfortable. You can't argue with them. If you do, you will lose.
Those who gossip will become more excited and say all kinds of bad things about you.
Faced with Li Guangtian's moral kidnapping, he was not angry, but wanted to laugh.
No matter what purpose Li Guangtian wanted to achieve through this incident, whether it was to deliberately make things difficult for him and Shen Ninglu, or to ask him to issue a letter of apology to save Li Youwei, he would end up with nothing.
Because he has obtained the contract rights for the waters of Longwan Island, the village will definitely be able to get the contract money.
Since Li Guangtian was morally blackmailing him and wanted him to suffer injustice, he would pretend to be wronged and take advantage of Li Guangtian's trick, forcing him to find a way to compensate him.
I contribute to the village, why don't you just let me get nothing?
Whether there are dates or not, just grab a stick and see.
Think of this.
Ye Qing sighed and said, "Director Guangtian is right. I shouldn't be so selfish. I should think about the village."
