Chapter 123 Chapter 123
Wu Yueying was arrested, and the news spread throughout the village in a short time.
Ye Qing was woken up early in the morning by the people in the village. Usually, there were people queuing outside the health station early in the morning. She was used to the noise, so she didn't take the noise outside seriously. She got up according to the schedule, washed up, and took her four apprentices to copy books and give classes as usual.
But soon, villagers came to the house to ask what the notice outside meant. Would the health station not allow villagers to queue up to register? Wu Yueying was married, so how could she still be in charge of the village's affairs? Wasn't she overreaching?
Ye Qing was still wondering what the health station registration had to do with Wu Yueying, and then she saw the notice.
After reading the above content carefully, Ye Qing was speechless.
Is Wu Yueying here to make fun of me? Does she think that the Kaoshantun health station is owned by her family? She is no longer registered in Kaoshantun, but she still wants to take advantage of the village, and even wants to monopolize the ticket sales of the entire health station. How shameless!
It's easy to tell with a toe that the captain would never agree to such a ridiculous strategy even if his brain was stuck in the door. This notice must have been posted by Wu Yueying on her own initiative. I just don't know how she got the captain to sign and stamp it.
But this was a matter between the captain and Wu Yueying, so Ye Qing was in no hurry to get involved. He just waited to see how the captain would react after he knew about it.
Ye Qing had known the captain for such a long time and knew him well. With this old man's temper, he would definitely not allow his daughter to shit on the heads of so many villagers.
Ye Qing didn't have to wait too long. While she was still having breakfast, she saw Wu Yongbing, led by the villagers, walk through the gate of her yard and rush to the health station in a hurry. Then, the notice was torn down by Wu Yongbing, and Ye Qing also heard Wu Yongbing apologize to the villagers.
Wu Yongbing said in a very firm tone that he would not interfere with the ticketing of the health station, and no cadre in the entire Kaoshantun would be allowed to get involved in this matter. Ye Qing agreed with this point.
However, the captain found an excuse to save Wu Yueying's face and did not expose her deeds in public. This disappointed Ye Qing to some extent. He always felt that the captain was too soft towards his daughter, which led to his daughter becoming more and more fearless and outrageous each time.
While eating breakfast, Ye Qing was thinking whether she should find time to go back and have a good talk with the captain. If Wu Yueying only harmed the Wu family, then Ye Qing could not do anything about it. But if Wu Yueying wanted to interfere with her health station, or affected her scientific breeding experiment in Kaoshantun, then don't blame Ye Qing for being ruthless. She was not like the Wu family and would definitely not show mercy.
As a result, by noon, before Ye Qing could go to the captain to issue a warning, he heard news that shocked Ye Qing.
Wu Yueying was taken away by the police directly. At the same time, Wu Yongbing handed over the official seal of Kaoshantun and admitted that he had not disciplined his family strictly, which led to the abuse of the official seal today. So he decided to resign from the post of team leader, let the commune take away the official seal, and asked the commune to punish him. As for the team leader of the commune, Kaoshantun would hold a meeting to decide and elect him.
When this news came out, not only Ye Qing, but the entire production team was stunned.
In fact, during this period of time, there were quite a few people in Kaoshantun who secretly grumbled about their dissatisfaction with Wu Yongbing's family.
In fact, it is impossible for any leader to satisfy everyone 100%.
The measures implemented in the village can only protect the interests of the majority of people in the village, but the small group of people who do not benefit will feel disappointed and unbalanced. Some may even be extreme and think that they are suffering because the team leader favors others.
But because Wu Yongbing has been the captain of Kaoshantun for so many years, he has been truly selfless. He has never sought personal gain for his family and cannot be faulted in general. So even if some people are dissatisfied, they usually just keep it to themselves.
But during this period, the team leader's wife secretly went to the health station to register, and later brought her child to queue. One child took up a quota. Everyone silently tolerated it for the sake of the team leader, but this kind of thing might happen once or twice, but who would be happy to do it every day?
After all, the health station only has 80 numbers a day. The team leader's wife took 4 or 5 tickets by herself. How many tickets would be left for other families in the village? If everyone was like the team leader's wife, bringing their children to line up to grab tickets, how would the more than 300 households in the village be divided? I'm afraid they would quarrel and fight every day!
It was precisely because of the behavior of the captain's wife that the resentment in the village became more and more serious and was about to explode. But at this time, Wu Yueying became even more aggressive and came up with a trick to cut off the source of the problem. She wanted to snatch all the tickets from the health station and not leave a single one for the people in the village.
How could the people in the village tolerate this? They exploded on the spot.
Those villagers went to the Wu family to cause trouble, all with the purpose of embarrassing Wu Yongbing so as to vent their anger.
Wu Yongbing was indeed embarrassed and humiliated, but what everyone never expected was that Wu Yongbing had too strong a sense of morality and self-esteem. The betrayal of his wife and daughter made him unable to raise his head in front of the villagers and completely bent his spine. So he not only killed his own relatives for the sake of justice and reported his daughter Wu Yueying, but also resigned and vacated the position of captain of the Kaoshantun Production Brigade.
Now, everyone in the village was in a complete panic.
At this time, everyone realized that with so many people in the village, Wu Yongbing was the most suitable person to be the team leader.
If it were someone else, they would definitely first seek benefits for the clansmen with the same surname as themselves in the village, and they would not be as fair and just as Wu Yongbing.
In addition, no one else was as brave, resourceful, far-sighted, and thorough as Wu Yongbing, who dared to openly challenge the commune and fight for interests and benefits for the people in the village.
Now that Wu Yongbing has quit, the entire Kaoshantun has become leaderless and a complete mess. Who knows what will happen to them in the future.
Those people who had previously said bad things about the Wu family were now confused. No one dared to be a troublemaker and talk nonsense behind their backs anymore, for fear of angering everyone and having the people in the village blame their own family for Wu Yongbing's resignation.
They can't afford to carry such a big black pot.
Ye Qing was also dumbfounded.
The six months she had worked with Wu Yongbing had been quite pleasant. Wu Yongbing was a wonderful man. He would never give blind advice on things he did not understand and he had full confidence in Ye Qing's ability to work. Basically, he would not question anything Ye Qing assigned him to do. He had a very strong execution ability and the two of them cooperated very well, so work progressed easily.
Therefore, Ye Qing absolutely does not want anyone else to take over Kaoshantun. If the new captain elected is someone who knows nothing but wants to meddle in everything and can only give orders blindly, she would probably go crazy.
When Ye Qing thought that the replacement would hinder her next plan or even cause the fetus to fail, her eyes darkened. She wanted to rush to Wu Yongbing's house, pour out all the water in that old guy's brain, and ask Wu Yongbing what he wanted to do.
Resigning without even saying goodbye is putting her in an unkind position. You just slap your butt and say you're not going to do it anymore, but what should I do next? I just want to do technology and don't want to get involved in the internal fighting of the Kaoshantun production team!
Ye Qing couldn't help but grab her hair. She wanted to curse and go crazy, but she couldn't panic. She had to find someone to discuss countermeasures as soon as possible.
Fortunately, she was not the only one who was panicking. The old branch secretary was even more anxious than her. As soon as he heard the news, he hurriedly sent someone to find her.
The incident happened suddenly, and Wu Yongbing's resignation caught everyone off guard. Now he has been taken away by the commune for investigation. The production team can't find anyone to understand the specific situation, so they can only gather all the cadres and solicit everyone's opinions to see what to do about this matter.
As for why she is called Ye Qing, it is because Ye Qing's weight in Kaoshan Village is extraordinary now. What she says can convince everyone in the village. In addition, this incident was caused by the ticketing problem of the health station, so Ye Qing has a say in the punishment of Wu Yongbing.
So when Ye Qing rushed to the temporary meeting room in the warehouse on the other side of the threshing ground, all the cadres of the production team, even including the old branch secretary, looked at her in unison, obviously waiting for her to make a decision.
Ye Qing didn't care about being modest and prudent at this moment. She didn't care whether he was overstepping his authority or not. She said decisively:
"The captain must not be replaced. If he is replaced, I will be the first to disagree!"
When these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
Probably no one had expected that Ye Qing, who usually did not get involved in these village affairs, had now taken the lead in expressing her clear attitude and voted so firmly in support of Wu Yongbing, which really surprised everyone in the room.
The old branch secretary took a puff of his pipe:
"Xiao Ye, Lao Wu resigned on his own initiative. We didn't want to replace him. Besides, the matter has been reported to the commune. The punishment from the commune has not been handed down yet, but this matter is no longer up to us to decide."
Ye Qing is usually very rational, but this incident really made her feel uneasy. If the captain was replaced, she would definitely be constrained and it would be inconvenient for her to do anything in the future.
So Ye Qing planned to make trouble unreasonably this time. No matter what reason the old branch secretary gave, it would not work no matter who came. She only had one request, which was to protect Wu Yongbing. If her request was not met, she would follow suit and quit like Wu Yongbing.
"If the matter has been reported to the commune, then let the commune send someone who can speak to negotiate. Whoever has the final say should handle it. Captain Wu has resigned, then find a way to let the people in the village re-elect Captain Wu and vote him back!"
"I'm not kidding you. I'm sure you all know that I don't have to stay at the Kaoshantun Health Station. There are many places I can go, including the county hospital and the military farm next door. There are also many large units willing to give me opportunities."
"If I hadn't had a pleasant cooperation with Captain Wu in Kaoshantun, I wouldn't have resolutely rejected those jobs in the city and chosen to stay in this remote corner of Kaoshantun."
"It is precisely because the team leader and the old branch secretary respect my opinions and give me a great deal of freedom in my work that I am willing to stay here to support rural construction."
"But if someone else came, I probably wouldn't be as comfortable and relaxed as I am now. Then why should I stay in Kaoshantun?"
Ye Qing spoke calmly, but the meaning behind his words made all the cadres feel horrified. They all sat upright with serious expressions.
Among these people, there may be some who want to take advantage of this opportunity to rise to power. Once Wu Yongbing really steps down, the old village chief will be old, and if the people in the village make a commotion and stir up trouble, these people may have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
But these people had beautiful thoughts in their minds, but they did not expect that Ye Qing, who did not play by the rules, would appear.
Who doesn't know how important Ye Qing is in the commune and the county? If she says she wants to protect Wu Yongbing, can the higher-ups object?
Moreover, Kaoshan Village is now relying on Ye Qing to turn things around. If this lady really runs away in anger because of a captain selection, who will take over such a big mess? I am afraid that the whole village will explode by then, and whoever becomes the captain will become the public enemy of Kaoshan Village!
Those present here are not stupid. Unless they are tired of living, who would compete for this position and become a target?
After Ye Qing's statement, these people really became wise and honest. Soon they came up with a countermeasure. They made a big-character poster, and the entire Kaoshantun signed a joint letter to the commune to petition for Wu Yongbing, asking the commune to exempt Wu Yongbing from punishment and restore his position as team leader.
Ye Qing must have signed the petition without hesitation, but she did not participate in the petition to the commune, mainly because it was a bit embarrassing. Moreover, with her current status, if she really wanted to protect Wu Yongbing, she could actually do it by going to Lai Guochang and saying a few good words for Wu Yongbing.
But that's not how it works. This would make Wu Yongbing feel inferior to her forever, and future cooperation between the two would not be as easy and pleasant as before. Doing so might even cause dissatisfaction among the villagers of Kaoshantun, who would feel that the matter was covered up too easily and wondered if the commune was being partial.
Ye Qing didn't want to get himself into trouble, so he decided to make Kaoshantun feel a little bit of tension, pressure and sense of crisis, so that everyone could unite and find ways to save themselves.
Such a commotion can actually make the people in the village completely calm down and sober up, recognize their own shortcomings, and stop being carried away by the mere fact of gaining a little benefit. At the same time, it can also make the people in the village less selfish and do less trouble. Everyone can unite as one and regain trust, and in the future they can work together as one.
