Chapter 119 Anonymous voting to decide whether to stay or go
The murder case of Hong Shuangyan was widely reported in Shuiyue Bay.
It's not just because of the strange way she handled the corpse, but also because of her dramatic life.
In this day and age, homosexuality is still a semi-banned word in Xia Country. Some people think homosexuality is normal, while others think it is a mental illness. Once people know that you are homosexual, you will immediately become the focus of the crowd and be talked about.
When Xia Xiaoman went to fetch water, he found a table next to the place where he fetched water, with a box on the table.
I walked over and took a look, and found out that the Property Management Department had a disagreement on how to deal with Hong Shuangyan.
Some people think that Hong Shuangyan had her reasons for murder, and because of her good behavior, they will not pursue this matter.
Some people thought that killing someone and burying the body, and treating the body like that, was not a good idea and violated the rules set by the property management department. They suggested that Hong Shuangyan be driven out of the community to prevent her from killing others in the future.
The Shuiyuewan Property Management Department strives to be as fair and just as possible. Since there is a disagreement, let the residents of the community make their own choice.
So they put tables and cardboard boxes at the water-drawing location and asked the residents of the community to vote anonymously on whether Hong Shuangyan should stay or leave.
Xia Xiaoman took a look and left, intending to give up. But after taking two steps, she turned back, tore off a piece of sticky paper and wrote two words "stay".
When Wang Shijin came to vote, he happened to see her throwing the paper ball into the box and asked casually, "What did you vote for? Stay or leave."
Xia Xiaoman did not hide anything and answered honestly, "I wrote to stay. She was able to make up her mind to deal with her enemies in such a short time and perfectly killed two adult men. You can train this Ms. Hong. She is no worse than a man."
Wang Shijin was stunned. He just asked casually, but he didn't expect Xia Xiaoman to answer him so seriously. "But Hong Shuangyan violated the rules set by the community. If she is allowed to stay, other people in the community may think that these rules are just verbal, and they may not abide by the rules honestly in the future."
"This is indeed a problem, so the property management department has organized a vote. If most people in the community agree to let Ms. Hong stay, then it will be difficult for others to use the community rules as an excuse, right?" Xia Xiaoman looked at him.
Wang Shijin smiled helplessly, "You are right." After that, he also wrote the word "stay" on his paper.
Auntie Xing was impressed by Hong Shuangyan's courage and determination, and suggested that she stay and join the patrol team. But Old Man Luo felt that there was no order without rules, and if the rules were broken because of Hong Shuangyan, more and more people would ignore the rules of Shuiyue Bay in the future.
Neither of them could convince the other, so they decided to vote anonymously.
…
After fetching water and returning home, Xia Xiaoman saw Wang Shijin standing at the intersection with a bucket of water, as if waiting for someone, and asked casually, "Why aren't you going back yet? Are you waiting for the voting results?"
Wang Shijin shook his head and said, "I'm waiting for you. I forgot to ask you just now. Can you rent me your pickup truck for a few days? I'm planning to go to Yuancheng again."
"Going to Yuancheng now?" Xia Xiaoman frowned. Right now, Fucheng was in chaos, and it was not a good time to go out.
Wang Shijin sighed helplessly, "The damage caused by the tornado is too great. Many people's supplies were blown away by the strong wind. I discussed with my friends and decided to take people to Yuancheng a few more times to try to earn back the lost supplies."
Going to the ruins to find supplies is not only difficult, but it is also easy to get into disputes with others. Even if they have a large number of people, they can't help but fight with others all day long.
After much thought, I still think that the reselling business is easier to do. You can earn a lot of supplies after working hard for a few days, which is much better than searching for supplies in the ruins.
Xia Xiaoman thought about it and realized that she didn't need the car recently, so she nodded and said, "Okay, the rental deposit remains the same. Whenever you need the car, bring the deposit and rent."
With the experience of his last trip, Wang Shijin knew which route to take to reach Yuancheng smoothly. He estimated that this trip would take about 7 days, so he only rented the car for seven days.
The next evening, at around seven o'clock, the sun had just set and the sunset glow had not yet disappeared, so Wang Shijin hurried to Xia Xiaoman's house to rent a car and try to leave before half past eight, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to reach Yuancheng before the sun rose again.
After Wang Shijin and others left, the community was put under martial law again. At the same time, the anonymous vote on how to deal with Hong Shuangyan came out.
Unfortunately, not many people agreed with Hong Shuangyan to stay.
If Hong Shuangyan killed the couple in a fit of rage and dumped the bodies on the street, everyone would understand that she was provoked by the couple and would consider letting her stay in the community.
But her method of dealing with the bodies was too extreme. Most people in the community were frightened by the two bodies and dared not let her stay, for fear that she would go crazy and kill people indiscriminately.
The property management department could only ask Hong Shuangyan to move out of the community within three days according to the voting results.
After Fu Baiwei learned the voting results, she went to Xia Xiaoman to complain angrily, "The two scumbags are at fault in this matter. What does it have to do with Hong Shuangyan? Why should they drive her away!"
"Those who voted are also going too far. Hong Shuangyan is a woman. How can she survive if she is driven out of the community? Isn't this just forcing her to die?"
Xia Xiaoman smiled and said, "Everyone has to pay the price for their choices. When she killed someone and dumped the body, she should have thought that if others knew about this behavior, she would definitely be kicked out of the community. Since she did it, she must bear the consequences."
She also felt that Hong Shuangyan should not be kicked out of the community. It was not because of a simple question of right or wrong, but because she really felt that Hong Shuangyan was worth training and might become a powerful general in Shuiyue Bay in the future.
Fu Baiwei was still very unhappy, and kept complaining for Hong Shuangyan. Xia Xiaoman's ears were almost callused from listening to her, and she said, "Are you so idle every day? You always come to my place, aren't you afraid that someone will steal your supplies?"
Fu Baiwei said calmly, "Who dares to steal my supplies? Aunt Xing and Uncle Luo live across from my house. Thieves will take a detour when they see our floor."
Xia Xiaoman was quite surprised. Two of the three directors of the Property Department lived near her home. No wonder she dared to leave home and wander around.
