When Old Man Lan and his men walked into the family's yard, the family was busy preparing dinner.
The family was shocked when they saw this scene, but they were relieved when they found out that they were all acquaintances in the village.
Old Man Lan went up to greet them, and the man in charge quickly and enthusiastically brought over benches and asked everyone to sit down and chat.
Old Man Lan smiled and handed me a cigarette while we chatted, and then he started talking about the demolition.
"Then they talked about compensation. Everything started fine, just like before. The man asked very detailed questions, but when he asked him to confirm, he said he needed to think about it and would give an answer in a few days."
Huo Qianli and Gu Daqiang listened silently as the staff of Qianfu Town whispered to them what had happened.
"Then Mayor Lan pulled the owner of the house aside and the two of them started chatting. For some reason, their voices got louder and louder, and they started arguing and pushing each other. Mayor Lan must have been drinking, so he slapped the other person in the face. We rushed to separate them, but when the family started shouting, the nearby villagers came over, and the villagers who were originally on our side stopped helping."
After hearing what happened, Huo Qianli glanced at Old Man Lan, who was sitting nearby smoking a cigarette with a bruise at the corner of his eye, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
After thinking about it, he squatted next to Old Man Lan and lowered his voice, "Mayor Lan, what is the other party's request?"
Old Man Lan glanced at him and said nothing.
Huo Qianli growled, "What time is it now!"
Old Man Lan glanced at the excited crowd on the other side and shook his head. "They didn't say anything specific. They just said they would think about it for a few days before giving a reply. No matter what I said, it was this sentence that made me anxious."
Think about it for a few days...
Huo Qianli pondered for a moment, then called the chief of Yutou Village over. He introduced himself first, then asked a few questions in a low voice and talked for a while.
After understanding the situation, he looked around at the crowd surrounding them. In front of him were a dozen angry main forces, and behind them were a group of villagers who were watching the show with their arms folded. But if they were just here to watch the show and wanted to show off their power and put on airs, I'm afraid it wouldn't just be these dozen people who would be angry.
The situation is dangerous and any negligence could lead to greater disaster.
In this dangerous situation, Huo Qianli resolutely stepped forward and walked to the position where the head of Yutou Village had been. Looking at the man in the middle, he took the initiative to extend his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, my name is Huo Qianli, I am a village cadre stationed in Hushan Village and a special consultant to the Management Committee. Can I say a few words about this matter?"
There were some whispers among the crowd, but there was not the sensation that one might have imagined.
After all, Yutou Village is on the other side of Shangu Town, and the affairs of Hushan Village have little to do with them. Huo Qianli is just a familiar name.
The man looked at him, but didn't reach out his hand. He said coldly, "Your mouth is on your body. If you want to talk, just talk. Can I sew your mouth shut?"
Huo Qianli smiled and said to everyone in a loud voice: "Dear fellow villagers, perhaps some of you know me and some don't, it doesn't matter, we have a common goal, which is to make everyone live a good life. No matter where I come from or what I do, my starting point must be to make everyone's life better!"
He turned around and pointed at Old Man Lan, "I believe our Mayor Lan feels the same way."
Amid the cold stares and sneers of the crowd, Huo Qianli continued: "In fact, this is just like a couple, who love each other all the time, but occasionally quarrel and fight. We can't conclude that the two are enemies!"
He usually speaks Mandarin, but he clumsily learned a dialect, which made many people's expressions more relaxed.
But the men in front were not moved at all.
"What the hell is that? Who has the guts to hit someone?"
"If he dares to come to us and start a fight, no matter how high his position is, I will cut off his hands!"
"Don't keep on complaining. I'm telling you, this matter won't be resolved so easily!"
Faced with the surging emotions, Huo Qianli felt nervous and sweat broke out on his back, but he still maintained a calm smile on his face.
"Everyone, please don't get excited. We don't defend the beating. Since it happened, the government will definitely impose corresponding penalties. But before that, while everyone is here, we also need to verify the exact situation with everyone."
He turned his head and looked at the head of Yutou Village. "Head of the village, Chen, did our staff take advantage of their power and bully others right from the start? Did they start fighting as soon as they disagreed?"

Although the prestige of the village chief of Yutou Village is far inferior to that of the strong village chief like Gu Daqiang, and he couldn't control the situation after persuading for a long time, he is still smart. After hesitating for a while, he understood the reminder in Huo Qianli's words and shook his head quickly, "I don't know about the quarrel later, but after Mayor Lan found me, when we went to do the work of each family, we were always easy to talk and discuss!"
He pointed at the families that followed him and said, "They can all testify that we have walked all the way here without even a single blush."
After saying that, he suddenly had an idea and looked at the man leading the group. "Chen Laosan, be fair. When Mayor Lan first came to your house, he was very polite!"
The man said in a muffled voice: "That's called pretending! Everyone smiles when asking someone to do something for them."
Although he was still furious, from another perspective, it also confirmed what the village chief had just said.
Many "cheers" who did not know the truth suddenly realized that love is not as simple as "the official beat someone"!
