"If you're not convinced, just say it. If it makes sense, we'll support you."
"I don't think we should have to pay for the repairs to this house."
"reason?"
"She's already done this to my son, so let's just cancel each other out."
"Are you just going to sit here and watch your son like this?"
The captain was speechless and remained silent.
"Doctor Wang returned your son to you intact, you should repair his house!"
The public security officer turned around and loudly asked the crowd, "What do you think of this approach? If you still have any questions about this matter, please raise them."
Everyone said in unison: "Agree, we agree with both hands."
The public security officer changed the subject and pointed at Wang Yaomei and said, "This person is not from our village."
Captain Shi quickly came over and explained, "This is my daughter-in-law."
"Your son is married? How come we didn't know?"
“Almost.”
"You didn't go to the police station to register your temporary residence. We received a notice from higher authorities saying that some vagrants have recently arrived in our area, and we are required to strictly investigate and punish them."
"Did she bring her ID? Bring it here so I can register it first."
Captain Shi uttered an "uh," hesitated, and smiled awkwardly...
"Since you're the director of public security, I won't take her with me. But she must leave our village today, and when we get married, she must bring her proof of origin. Otherwise, it will be hard to say what will happen."
“Yes, yes…”
The police officer pointed at Zhang Yanyan and asked, "That aunt holding the child shouldn't be from our village, right?"
Everyone answered in unison: "Yes, he was just making a fuss."
The captain quickly said, "She is my relative."
"Does she have her certificate of origin?"
The captain was speechless.
"Captain, this is your fault. As the director of public security, where is your awareness? They must leave our village immediately. If we see them next time, we won't deal with them the same way we did today. You understand this."
"Yes, yes, there won't be a next time."
After saying this, one of the police officers pulled the captain aside and said, "Don't mess with this family again. Even our Public Security Bureau Chief would have to be courteous to them. Since we've been friends for many years, I'll be honest with you. Don't fight them anymore. You'll lose your job."
"Is it that serious?"
"Of course, you can do whatever you want!"
The captain muttered to himself, "Who on earth is this Zhao Lihan? A while ago, when I asked someone in the provincial capital to find a connection for Lotus, no one agreed when they heard it was related to Zhao Lihan."
"Captain, we have finished dealing with things here. We are leaving first."
…
He looked at the backs of the public security officers as they left, still having doubts about what they said.
What he couldn't understand was, did Zhao Lihan just serve in the army for a few years and then turn his life around? I wouldn't believe it even if I were beaten to death. Were they deliberately trying to scare me?
Just as he was thinking about the authenticity of the news.
Someone was shouting, "Captain, look, there's another group of people coming to the village entrance."
He looked towards the village entrance and realized who was coming. He put away his unpleasant mood and put on a happy look.
"Jinhua, go to your house and bring some benches over."
"OK."
"Oh, and the tea is ready too."
After the captain gave these instructions, he hurried towards the village entrance.
When he accompanied the commune leaders into the yard.
Huang Jinhua had already placed tea in the yard and was looking like a hostess, welcoming the guests.
Everyone who came sat down at the table one by one.
The deputy secretary of the commune did not sit down in the seat arranged for him by Huang Jinhua, but came directly to Mrs. Shi.
"Hello, aunt."
It turned out that this person was none other than Mrs. Shi’s eldest nephew, Su Wenhan, who was 35 years old, 1.75 meters tall, dressed in ordinary clothes, and had a college education (worker-peasant-soldier college student).
"Wenhan, I knew you would come today."
"If you have something to do here, of course I have to come."
Su Wenhan looked at the luggage beside Mrs. Shi and asked, "Aunt, what are you doing?"
"I'm going back to your grandma's house with you today."
"Were you having a fight?"
"I can't stay in this house anymore."
"Okay, I'll take you away after I finish my business."
After he said this, he came to Captain Shi and looked at him seriously.
"Captain, what do you want to report?"
The captain pointed at Shi Bulian, who was slumped on the ground, and said, "Look at your cousin."
Su Wenhan frowned, looked at him, and asked, "Bu Lian, what's wrong with you? You look listless, as if you've been hit by frost."
Captain Shi pointed at Wang Xiaolan, who was not far away, and shouted angrily, "That woman is responsible. Our team can't tolerate this woman. Get her out of here! I don't want to see her anymore."
"Captain, is this your excuse to drive them away? This is state land, not yours. Neither you nor I have the right to do so. We simply appointed you to manage it, and we can revoke your position at any time."
"Wenhan, don't listen to his nonsense. Doctor Wang is a good person. She saved my and Huaide's lives." Old Mrs. Shi said from the side.
"This old guy doesn't discipline his own children properly, but instead blames others for their mistakes. He wants to use this opportunity to drive Doctor Wang out of our village."
After listening to what Mrs. Shi said, Su Wenhan looked at Captain Shi.
He thought to himself: "This uncle has no ability at all. He relies on the power in his hands to bully the village. If it weren't for my aunt, he would have dismissed him long ago."
"Nephew, don't listen to what your aunt says. This is not the case."
"Captain, you always use my name to suppress the villagers, especially Dr. Wang. Why do you always pick on her? She's your family's savior."
"She's a doctor, this is what she should do. Bu Lian is already like this now, you as his brother can't just ignore him!"
"Captain, don't mention him. It gives me a headache whenever you mention him. He's been causing me so much trouble these years. Can't he learn from Huaide? The lotus is a lesson. As for you, it's no wonder my aunt and you don't get along. You two are not on the same page."
"I really don't know why Grandpa fell in love with you back then?"
Su Wenhan became more and more angry as he spoke, so he simply ignored him and turned to Wang Xiaolan.
"Doctor Wang, I'm so sorry. My cousin and this uncle are so rude. I apologize to you and your family, especially Zhao Lihan. We've let him down."
"Secretary Su, you don't have to be like this. It's not your fault."
"Wild said he was too embarrassed to see you because he didn't stop their nonsense."
"It's not his fault. He has to work and can't stay with them every day."
Su Wenhan called the team leader over and said in front of the whole village.
