Chapter 468 Village Chief
That cold look makes people shudder.
Even Zhao Si, who was quite confident in his own strength, couldn't help but be startled and forced a smile.
"We don't know what happened. We just watched helplessly as someone snatched the child away when she came to teach us!"
"Not long after, they sent this over."
As Zhao Si spoke, he took the initiative to hand the crumpled letter to Mrs. Wen.
She was old and illiterate, and she felt worried when she saw this. She hurriedly called Jinhua out.
"Take a good look at what these are!"
Jinhua, who was in the room, had already heard some noises. She held the letter in one hand, looked at it several times, and then she couldn't help but frown.
She also noticed the message for help left in the corner.
For a moment, Jinhua looked at Zhao Si with a hint of displeasure in her eyes, but when she thought of Zhaodi's situation, she didn't point it out directly.
"Taking someone hostage and demanding something from them is illegal!"
"Even if they're accomplices, they'll be arrested together. I heard... they'll be sentenced to at least four to five years in prison. If the crime is more serious, they'll probably be sent directly to the farms down there!"
Jinhua was just exaggerating the matter.
Based on her experience, if this matter is not made a big deal, then these people in their village will just treat others as fools.
"They say you can't blame everyone. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with me. I'm just an errand boy. You guys figure out what to do."
Zhao Si first tried to excuse himself, then waved his hand and said that he really had no way to handle it.
"Then we'll discuss it after Yi Yi comes back. We don't have the final say over the factory itself." Jinhua just sighed and said nothing more.
"Okay, you two should discuss it carefully. I don't want any accidents to happen. Our village... has always had a good reputation over the years. There's no need to lose the big picture for the sake of a small one."
Zhao Si waved his hand, turned around and left with a calm look.
Granny Wen looked at Jinhua. She hadn't said anything yet, but from the look in her granddaughter's eyes, she knew something was up. "What's going on?"
"Zhao Di must have been kidnapped by these people. No matter how anxious we are, we can't do anything." After Jinhua quickly explained the situation, she decided to find a way to contact Chen Zhuyi first.
Apart from her, most people really have no way to solve this problem.
"But we can't rely on Yi Yi for everything. That girl is from the capital, and one day she'll have to return to her own land. We can't rely on others for help forever, right?"
Faced with her granddaughter who was a little silent, Grandma Wen gritted her teeth and told the story directly and plainly.
The biggest difficulty in this matter lies with Shen Zhuyi, but is it really impossible for anyone else to solve it except her?
"Indeed... We can't just rely on others. We should also think of ways to solve the problem ourselves."
Jinhua uttered these words as if she had just woken up from a dream, her head slightly drooped, she tapped the ground lightly with her fingers, a hint of seriousness in her eyes.
"Ultimately, they wanted to use Zhaodi to get money, jobs, and to have their future guaranteed by the efforts of others."
"We just need to agree to it on the surface. Whether or not they are allowed in later is not our responsibility. Besides, Comrade Cui Xiao is a very capable military man. We might be able to ask her for help!"
As Jinhua spoke, her eyes slowly lit up, and it was obvious that she had come up with a solution.
She said hello to Mrs. Wen and ran outside at a very fast speed.
In the blink of an eye, Mrs. Wen couldn't even see his back, and her granddaughter in front of her was so full of fighting spirit.
While Mrs. Wen felt both amused and annoyed, she also felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart. They couldn't always rely on others.
She was not idle at this moment and took the initiative to rush towards the village chief's house.
The village chief must be aware of the serious matter of Zhaodi being arrested. He must at least prevent these people from making the matter worse!
As soon as she approached the village chief's house, Mrs. Wen heard a chaotic noise.
The voices of countless men and women were mixed together. Even though he was an old woman who boasted of his excellent hearing, he couldn't hear who was speaking for a while.
"Stop arguing. If we really have a job opportunity, then everything should be arranged by the village chief, right?"
As Zhao Si spoke, he forced a flattering smile, as if he was going to hand over all the power to the village chief. His smug look made people inexplicably angry.
"We've also put in a lot of effort. You're just a little more eloquent. How dare you take the credit now?"
The people following the village chief roared, accusing Zhao Si of being shameless.
This was his usual style, but now he seized the opportunity to show off his attentiveness, which made the people watching him feel a little sick.
But Zhao Si was not ashamed, but proud of it. He looked at them with his head held high and his aura was not inferior at all.
"Don't forget, I was the one who did all the hard work this time. You don't even know how much I contributed. How dare you act so arrogantly in front of me?"
"Village Chief, you have always been a very fair person. Tell me, don't I have any merits?"
At this moment, Zhao Si was still trying to find ways to use the village chief to support himself.
"You haven't even seized the opportunity yet, and you're already starting to get complacent. That girl might not be that important!"
The village chief snorted and was not very optimistic about this.
If the two girls, Zhaodi and Jinhua, really had such great roles, they wouldn't have stayed in their village all the time.
If I want to go to school normally, I need someone else to arrange a car to pick me up!
Mrs. Wen outside listened to their argument and felt her heart sink to the bottom, and she even felt a little indignant.
If they can’t replace the village chief with a capable one, I’m afraid their entire village will be destroyed!
She must consider Chen Zhuyi's explanation!
Jinhua didn't know that her grandmother's mood had changed a lot. She had already run to the factory and no one stopped her.
Cui Xiao, however, saw her panting figure at the door and took the initiative to pick up the cup beside her and poured her some water. Then he looked at her with concern: "Did you encounter any difficulties?"
"Zhao Di was kidnapped, and the kidnappers just want a job opportunity. A group of men also want to enter our factory. This is simply a pipe dream!"
Jinhua swallowed twice before finally speaking out what was in her heart. She clenched her fists, wishing she could punch those people in the face.
