Chapter 89 Fighting against the Bully Forces



At noon that day, Sun Zongyu returned to the village on the pretext of having something to do. Before leaving, he arranged for Cao Shoubao to continue to work on signing the land agreement.

He found Secretary Li Jianguo, and the two of them stayed together for an hour before going to the county together.

We stayed in the county for another hour and a half and returned to the village before dark.

At 8:30 the next morning, Sun Zongyuan brought ten people to Lingan Village and convened a meeting of village personnel involved in land transfer and expropriation. A total of 36 people attended.

At this meeting, Sun Zongyu regrouped the staff, with all members divided into five groups. Each group was responsible for about 21 households that had not yet signed an agreement, with 3 people from the village and 3 people from the township. The group leaders were five middle-level cadres from the township.

The ten people brought by Sun Zongyuan were also incorporated into the group. Cao Shoubao quietly asked Sun Zongyuan where these people came from.

Sun Zongyu smiled and told him that he had found a few guys from the Soil and Water Conservation Center of the County Agricultural Bureau to help us with our work.

Each group of six people went to the village to do mass work. After a whole morning, there was still little effect. After lunch, Sun Zongyuan said to several group leaders:

"Or we should look for those leaders, otherwise it will be difficult to continue this work."

At three o'clock, the team led by Guo Daoren, the director of the Construction Office, found the Guo-Gu boss Gu Wu. When Gu Wu saw Guo Daoren, he said arrogantly:

"Xiao Guo, if you agree to my request, I promise to sign all the agreements for the entire village."

Meng Fanliang, the county official who came with Guo Daoren, was a very energetic and agile man, about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, and he walked with a brisk pace. He said to Gu Da:

"What are your requests? Words are not enough. Can you write them down on a piece of paper so we can report them to the leader? Maybe the leader will actually agree."

Boss Gu laughed heartily and turned to the other people and said:

"Look, these guys are just small fry who don't keep their word. They can't make a decision at all. Since I'm going to let the boss have the final say, I'll write it down. Once the higher-ups approve it, everyone will follow me and enjoy the good life!"

A few people found a dining table, cleaned it with a towel, and spread a newspaper on it. The village cadre took out a soft-cover book from his bag, tore off two pages and gave them to Boss Gu, and handed him a pen.

Boss Gu's handwriting was illegible and crooked, and he couldn't write a few words. The village cadres demonstrated to him and asked him to write it himself. It took him more than half an hour to draw and write the document of more than 300 words. The village cadres showed considerable patience.

After finishing writing, Boss Gu had to sign and put his fingerprints on it. Boss Gu stretched out his hands without hesitation, pressed ten red finger prints with the ink, and said loudly:

"To make you believe me, I'll give you ten fingers!"

This sentence stirred Meng Fanliang's heart, and he put it away without saying a word.

Gu Laoer also negotiated with the cadres at both the village and township levels:

"In addition to the above requirements, my eldest brother must be the village chief. I don't like being an official. The market will give me two. I guarantee that your government will build a beautiful house."

A person in the work area asked him:

"Have you ever worked in construction?"

"I haven't done this before. I'll take over the project and let someone else do it. I'll just take 20 points, right?"

"Then they have to pay for it with their pants."

"If the money isn't enough, we'll ask the government for more. But if they don't give us money, we won't be able to finish the work."

"It's a good thing you have sand, so you don't have to buy other people's sand for construction," a village cadre joked with him.

"That's right, but I have to be paid for my sand." Gu Laoer did not hide his behavior of stealing sand.

It took a lot of effort for Gu Laoer to finish writing the materials and finally sign and put his fingerprints on them.

I heard that the eldest brother pressed ten handprints, so I pressed ten handprints as well, and even took off my shoes and insisted on pressing ten more toe prints. In the end, I failed to do so amid everyone's laughter.

Gu Laosan was even more stubborn. His request to the working group was: give him a 200-meter counter and 20 boutique stalls. Whoever doesn't give them will be beaten!

"You are a government official, and you dare to beat people?" a cadre transferred from another place asked him.

"Aren't government officials afraid of being beaten? If he's not afraid of being beaten, are his wife and children afraid?"

"That would be illegal, and you'd suffer greatly."

"What's the point of enduring hardship? The timid will starve to death, and the bold will die of gluttony. Nothing happened to them before. I just don't believe that taking my land won't give me any benefits."

"I think the compensation is quite a bit. Besides, how come it's all your land?"

"I'll ask that damned Hu Fajin to sign a document for me, and I'll pay him 100 yuan to sell me all the wasteland east of the village. That'll be all."

Gu Lao San said casually.

He also wrote down his request and pressed ten fingerprints. When he heard that his second brother wanted to press ten more fingerprints with his toes, he also wanted to press one with his butt, making everyone else laugh so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.

They spent two days visiting every household, and found that except for the three Gu brothers, there were still 23 households that were influenced by them and did not sign the confirmation.

Sun Zongyu did not stop. He organized a working group and asked them to continue going to the villages and households to do mass work and not be deceived by others and affect the overall situation.

The working group was mobilized to find out the social relations of the households that had not signed the agreement, and they went to find the most useful social relations to do ideological work. Some went to Ganhe City, and some went to Anyang County. Each group went to the households to do work until eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening. It should be said that it was effective. After three days, another 14 households signed the agreement.

On the fourth day, the working group continued its work. Village cadres called the households that refused to sign the agreement to the village office. When everyone was present, they shouted:
