The village chief looked up at the village representatives below, then looked down at the draft, and habitually pushed his glasses down.
"Huh?" He smiled smugly when he realized what was happening. He no longer needed glasses. His eyesight was so good that he could even see the mole on the face of the villager sitting in the last row. The wine Yingxue had given him wasn't just any ordinary wine; it was divine wine.
He continued, "Anyone who drinks excessively or has a bad temper and gets into a fight after just a few words will not be accepted. It doesn't matter if you're male or female. Interested villagers can go to the village committee to sign up after the meeting today. Only villagers from this village are allowed. Relatives shouldn't be excluded."
"Okay, I'll stop here. Secretary Zhiqiang will speak next!"
"Pa pa pa!" There was warm applause from the audience.
"Ahem," Secretary Zhiqiang cleared his throat and said, "Good afternoon, everyone. I'm going to make a few remarks now. These remarks are mainly related to quality, the image of the village, and the development of the village. What I'm going to say next is also very important, so please listen carefully."
"The first point is the development of our village. Our village's development prospects are very good! It's not just good, it's extremely good! As the saying goes, you have to pay first to build the road. Our village now has roads, a park, a shopping mall, a kindergarten, and so on. These three are about to be completed. There are also two real estate projects under construction outside the village and other buildings to be built."
"The Xuehe Shopping Mall in Shitu is about to be completed and opened. This is the first shopping mall opened in the countryside in our J City. There will definitely be a lot of outsiders coming. As villagers, we can't embarrass ourselves in front of outsiders, so we have to keep up with the quality of our work."
The village chief continued, "Garbage must be thrown into the trash can. If I catch anyone littering, I will make him sweep the streets for a day. If he doesn't want to sweep, he will have to pay a 100 yuan fine." Since strengthening the quality education of villagers and improving the environment and infrastructure in the village, the behavior of littering has been reduced a lot, but it still exists.
Secretary Zhiqiang continued, "Secondly, I've noticed a lot of land being sold and transferred in our village. While this is everyone's land and everyone has the right to dispose of it, I still want to advise everyone that land is the lifeblood of us farmers. It's easy to sell, but it's difficult to buy it back."
"Although buying a house in the city is a good idea, I think things are different now. Our village is on the rise, and it's not worth giving up our status as a Nanhe villager just for a little money."
…
Secretary Zhiqiang was still speaking, and Hua Gumei in the audience felt the pain in her heart being touched, and she felt very uncomfortable.
Ever since Jiang Xingpeng was caught stealing from a fertilizer store last time, he has become even more outrageous and unscrupulous. However, this time he is not stealing from the village, but from his own home.
In order to marry Zhang Xiaomei, Jiang Xingpeng stole Hua Gumei's gold ring, gold bracelet, gold earrings, etc. and sold them. After being discovered by Hua Gumei, he refused to admit his mistake and felt that he had done nothing wrong. He said that all these would belong to him in the future and even threatened to commit suicide to get another 50,000 yuan from the family.
Feeling desperate, Hua Gumei and his wife decided to split up their family property and land with him. From now on, whether their son was rich or poor, a beggar or a wealthy businessman, it would have nothing to do with them. They also had a daughter, Jiang Honglian, and all their land would be left to Jiang Honglian. Jiang Honglian would not marry out, but would only take in a son-in-law.
After the family split, Jiang Xingpeng sold all his land in Nanhe Village in less than a week, bought a house in the city, and moved his household registration there. He was also said to have married Zhang Xiaomei, but this news was not shared by Jiang Xingpeng's family, but by an acquaintance in Zhangjia Village. Hua Gumei's already cold heart grew even colder.
The person who bought Jiang Xingpeng's land was Xiao Jingyuan. He not only bought Jiang Xingpeng's land, but also bought the land around it at a high price.
Because the price he offered was high, the villagers sold their products.
In his eyes, Nanhe Village is a Feng Shui treasure land. Since someone wants to buy it, he will definitely buy it happily.
Xiao Jingyuan has already decided to move all his belongings here, including his Fengyin Temple.
When implementing this plan, he specifically consulted Jiang Yingxue for her opinion. Jiang Yingxue did not refuse and said that as long as he liked it, it was fine.
So Xiao Jingyuan took action. His Fengyin Temple was not big, and the land he bought was just enough for the temple to be built. However, it was difficult to explain why a Taoist temple appeared out of nowhere, so he planted fast-growing trees around the land.
Before the trees grew, the two of them lived in a small hotel in the village.
It was a sunny day and Xiao Jingyuan was walking around the unfinished park when suddenly his cell phone rang.
"Ring, ring, ring~"
The person on the other end of the phone was Xiao Jingyuan's friend Huang Gengzhang. Huang Gengzhang had taken an order, but his ability was limited and he failed to solve the customer's problem. Feeling embarrassed and regretful, he thought of Xiao Jingyuan, who was more capable than himself.
[Brother Jingyuan, where have you been making money lately? I've recently encountered a difficult order. I've already made a big promise. Brother Jingyuan, please help me out!]
"Can you tell me what the order is specifically?"
[…The evil spirit surrounding that young man is getting stronger day by day. If this continues, he probably won't be here for long. Brother Jingyuan, should I book you a flight for today?]
"No need, just give me an address and I'll be there tomorrow morning." Xiao Jingyuan saw a young man possessed by evil spirits on the streets of J City a few days ago. Is there such a case in S City as well?
If evil spirits can be removed in time, at most the body will be weakened for a period of time, but it will not threaten life. If not, losing life is secondary. The important thing is that the soul will be eroded and there will be no afterlife.
The next day, Xiao Jingyuan and Xiao Ying boarded the golden gourd flying instrument and headed for S City early in the morning. The flying instrument was very fast, and they met Huang Gengzhang more than half an hour later.
"Brother Jingyuan! You're here! This must be Xiao Ying, she's grown so big now." Huang Gengzhang's eyes wrinkled with smile when he saw Xiao Jingyuan.
"Geng Zhang, it's been a while since we last met. I hope you're doing well."
Xiao Ying greeted with a smile, "Grandpa Huang."
After the pleasantries, Huang Gengzhang got down to business. Speaking of the young man's condition, his face was grave. "The day I arrived, he was still able to walk and see. The next day, he was blind and paralyzed. Now, on the third day, his condition is dire. He's reportedly unconscious. I predict he'll be gone if we can't deal with him in the next two days... I've never seen such a pure and recognizable evil spirit."
Xiao Jingyuan was slightly surprised. "You mean, the evil spirit only hurts him and not others?"
Huang Gengzhang nodded and said, "Yes, it's a good thing this evil spirit didn't attack anyone else, otherwise, not only would the Zhong family be dead, but even every blade of grass would have withered."
