He was the only one left in the village committee's office, sitting quietly in a wheelchair, staring at the blue sky outside the window.
He always felt that Zhao Hui's matter would not be resolved so easily.
The person behind the scenes might be more difficult to deal with than he thought.
“Boom boom boom!”
There was a sudden knock on the door of the village committee office.
Xie Yu turned his head and saw Xie Gui coming in.
"Little brother, are you okay?" Xie Gui looked at Xie Yu with some worry, his brows furrowed the whole time.
Especially when he just walked in, I saw him staring out the window, and he looked like he was in a bad mood.
Xie Gui understands his younger brother.
No matter what he does, he is always calm. He will only have such an expression when something is really serious.
Xie Yu shook his head, but still couldn't help but say: "Recently, pay more attention to whether there are strangers around the village, especially our family members, you have to be more careful."
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Xie Gui immediately understood what Xie Yu meant.
I guess something happened in the town and someone is retaliating against their family.
This is indeed not a trivial matter, and he must have a serious talk with his family.
As for strangers coming to the village, we do need to be alert.
Thinking of this, Xie Gui walked straight out of the village committee office.
In the courtyard, the team leader was sitting on a stone next to the millstone, smoking a pipe. When he saw Xie Gui walking out of the office with a serious look on his face, his brows also furrowed.
"Village Chief, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"
What on earth was the captain thinking that could make the village chief so worried?
Could it be that their village’s collective honor is lost?
He remembered that the gangsters in the village almost raped the educated youth in the village. This would be a shocking incident no matter which village it happened in.
It seems reasonable if the higher authorities do not give their village the honor of advanced collective because of this incident.
The team leader suddenly felt a little fortunate that Chang Suisui had previously contacted their village for a job picking herbs, otherwise their village would have been in trouble this year.
While the captain was struggling, Xie Gui slowly spoke up, "Old Fu, use the village committee's loudspeaker to make an announcement. If any strangers come to our village recently, we must be vigilant and report to the village committee in a timely manner!"
Upon hearing this, the captain immediately became nervous, "Are there spies in our village?"
Xie Gui: “…”
Why didn't he realize before that the captain of their village was so perceptive?
Xie Gui sighed helplessly, and then said: "Didn't the town arrest a group of human traffickers some time ago? The higher-ups are worried that there are other human traffickers..."
The captain nodded immediately and said, "I understand. I will use the loud speaker to talk to everyone and remind them to be alert and be on guard against strangers in Hollywood Village!"
"Well, Lao Fu, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll go home and take care of my family affairs first." After saying this, Xie Gui said hello to the team leader, and left the village committee office with Xie Yu.
On the way, Xie Yu couldn't help but speak, "Brother, you can't take the money for the dinner. This is for Sui Sui and I..."
"Little brother, I know what you are worried about." Xie Gui suddenly paused, turned his head and looked at Xie Yu and said word by word. "I have endured it for so many years, just thinking that my family can live in peace and safety..."
Xie Gui paused for a moment when he said this.
He took a deep breath and continued, "It wasn't until your last marriage that I realized that I had thought things were too simple. Sometimes I was willing to give in, but it made this family less and less like a home."
"Brother, this is not your fault. I know you have always been a good brother." Xie Yu didn't know how to comfort Xie Gui, so he could only pat his shoulder gently.
As the eldest brother, he has always been an honest man. If he had not married Zhao Xiulan, perhaps he would be living a better life now.
Xie Gui chuckled at Xie Yu, "I know that ever since Big Brother got married, you have been making compromises for me. Big Brother is not blind."
Xie Yu: “…”
"So this time after you marry Chang Zhiqing, I will make the decision and we will separate. Even if we don't argue about this matter today, we will argue when we separate in the future. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one." Xie Gui finished the rest of his words almost in one breath.
Xie Yu didn't expect that his elder brother could see things clearly and act so decisively.
I guess it was the last time about the betrothal gift that really made Xie Gui sad.
He nodded, "I understand, big brother, then I'll do as you say."
Since Xie Guidu no longer cares about Zhao Xiulan's commotion, what else should he care about?
Xie Gui briefly explained everything to Xie Yu and then went back home.
At this time, Zhao Xiulan was making a fire. It was almost noon and she was preparing to cook.
Seeing Xie Gui coming in, Zhao Xiulan was about to ask something, but then she saw Xie Gui enter the main room, as if he was looking for something.
Zhao Xiulan immediately followed him, "Boss, what are you looking for?"
Xie Gui glanced at Zhao Xiulan and said casually, "Where is our family's money kept? I need it."
"What are you going to do with the money?" Zhao Xiulan's voice was somewhat alert.
Xie Gui turned his head and looked at Zhao Xiulan. "It's me and Chang Zhiqing. They got married today and are planning to move. I'm going to use this money to buy some practical things, and then find a few neighbors to help cook and clean up at their homes. It's a happy occasion."
When Zhao Xiulan heard this, her face instantly darkened. She dropped the broom in her hand and sat down on the bed. "No! You know our family situation. We don't have the extra money to meddle in other people's affairs. Let your brother figure out how to get married!"
Xie Gui's brows furrowed instantly, and he raised his voice, "Xiu Lan, what are you talking about? Xie Yu is my biological brother. This is the most important thing in his life, how can I, as his brother, not help?"
Seeing Xie Gui's firm attitude, Zhao Xiulan became even more agitated, "Help? Doesn't the betrothal gift I gave you before count? You want to build him a house, and now you even have to take care of the moving. Why don't you just give him the whole house!"
Xie Gui's eyes flashed with disappointment. He took a deep breath and said, "Don't think I don't know how you treated me these years. Don't you know how much salary he mails to me every month? If it weren't for him, how could you have such a good life?!"
Even if all the betrothal money and the money for building the house were given to Xie Yu, it would not be enough for Xie Yu to contribute to this family.
As the eldest brother, he only knows how to farm and doesn't get much food in a year. His family is living so well now, isn't it because of the support provided by Xie Yu after he joined the army?
