Extra 11: Jin Zhengtai and Gu Jingxiu
In winter, people in the countryside have nothing to do. They either stay warm on the kang or bask in the sun and chat.
At this time, it was noon, the weather was fine, and a group of men, young and old, wearing coats and warm hats, stood in the corner of the balcony behind Jin Zhengtai's old house, basking in the sun.
Of course, basking in the sun today is secondary. The most important thing is that everyone heard yesterday that Jin Zhengtai drove his car back to the village and asked Lao Jin to demolish the house.
The young people want to see his car, and the middle-aged people want to see whether Jin Zhengtai will confront Lao Jin today and ask him to demolish the house.
At this moment, everyone was leaning against the wall, basking in the sunshine and breathing the fresh air with a comfortable look on their faces.
By the way, let’s make a bet to see if Jin Zhengtai will really demolish these three tiled houses today.
The young man expressed his support for Kim Jong-tae's side. Kim Jong-tae had suffered so much in the past, and now he wanted to get it back. Young people will eat anything as long as they don't suffer any loss.
The older ones think that Kim Jong-tae is just talking.
After all, blood is thicker than water.
The grace of giving birth to a child is greater than heaven.
Money is Jin Zhengtai's younger brother. Even if his bones are broken, his tendons are still connected. He will never be so heartless.
A group of young and old men were happily discussing something when a stylish black sedan drove over from the village entrance.
Everyone stretched their necks and looked around.
Jin Zhengtai parked the car on the deserted lot behind the old house.
Later, Secretary Wang, another cadre, and Gu Jingxiu got out of the car.
The villagers gathered around to watch the fun.
Some villagers recognized the cadres and exclaimed, "Jin Zhengtai really brought the family here. It seems that this house must be demolished today."
"How do you know that's someone from my family?"
The villagers said, "Are you blind? Isn't that the cadre who used to be stationed in our village? He was the one who collected agricultural taxes, but he was later transferred."
After Dazhu said that, everyone recognized the cadre Zhang.
I am more confident in Kim Jong-tae's abilities.
This kid is really a nobody.
This is not false.
Jin Zhengtai brought Secretary Wang and others over and headed towards the old house.
He introduced, "Secretary Wang, this is my home, but my grandmother has passed away, and I am the only one left at home now."
“Is this your home?”
A look of astonishment flashed across Secretary Wang's face.
It seemed that no one expected that Jin Zhengtai's house would be in such a scene.
Officer Zhang looked at Jin Zhengtai in surprise and asked, "The old lady who used to live in this old house, was she your grandmother?"
Jin Zhengtai nodded, "Yes, Officer Zhang, do you know my grandmother?"
Officer Zhang said, "You may not know this from the outside, but I have been stationed in your village before. I know many people in the village, especially the vulnerable groups who need help."
Jin Zhengtai knew without thinking that his grandmother was a member of that vulnerable group.
“Did you build this house?
Do you plan to live in the village?"
Secretary Wang pointed to the new house on the east side.
Jin Zhengtai shook his head. "I didn't build the house. When I was not around, someone else occupied my land and built a house without my permission. I plan to have them tear it down."
"The unauthorized occupation of other people's residential land should be demolished, and this evil trend should not be encouraged."
At this moment, the stepmother, who was sneaking around the village to gather information, saw Jin Zhengtai really bringing people into the village, with the villagers surrounding them. She was so scared that she hurried home to find Lao Jin.
When the old village chief heard that Jin Zhengtai had brought people with him, he also ran over with a hunched back.
He went to the town for a meeting and met Secretary Wang. He was even more familiar with Cadre Zhang. When he saw the two cadres entering the village, he quickly gave them cigarettes and invited them to his home.
Secretary Wang smiled and said, "Old village chief, we won't go there today. Come here today and follow Xiao Jin around.
“
"We are all proud and honored that you can produce a talent like Xiao Jin. Xiao Jin's wife is the boss of human resources. I believe that everyone knows that Xiao Jin and his team are recruiting."
Recruiting?
The villagers looked at each other and were about to ask why, when Daniu shouted happily,
"Yes, my partner and I are planning to go with them."
After hearing what the big shot said, everyone started talking at once and the atmosphere became very excited.
They all pulled Daniu aside to ask Jin Zhengtai about his work outside.
At this time, stepmother, Lao Jin and Jinqian squeezed through the crowd.
The stepmother pulled Jin Qian and came in front of Jin Zhengtai and Secretary Wang, then she knelt down in front of them with a bang.
It caught everyone off guard.
Then he began to kowtow, "Jin Zi, please show some mercy to your brother and don't push us into a desperate situation. We almost went bankrupt building these three new houses. This house cannot be demolished."
The stepmother was crying and snotting.
Then he kowtowed to Secretary Wang.
"Comrade cadre, please do us a favor and speak a few words to Jin Zhengtai and let us go. He is a big boss now. It's ok that he doesn't help his father and brother, but he is forcing us to demolish the house. This is really too cruel.
“
"If this new house is gone, will we still be able to survive?
My son still hasn’t married. If his house is demolished, he will be single from now on.”
Secretary Wang was frightened by the kneeling crowd and took a step back. He looked at Jin Zhengtai and said, "Xiao Jin, what's going on?"
Jin Zhengtai didn't expect that this shameless family would do such a shameless thing.
"I just said that they built a house in my yard without permission."
Jin Zhengtai's face turned pale, and his hands hanging by his sides were shaking.
At this moment, looking at the faces of their family, all the humiliation and suffering he had suffered as a child suddenly came to his mind.
He didn't know how to confront them for a moment.
Gu Jingxiu stepped forward to explain the reason, "It's like this, Secretary Wang, the one kneeling here is my wife Jin Zhengtai's nominal stepmother and half-brother. Jin Zhengtai has lived with his grandmother since he was a child. After his grandmother passed away three years ago, he became an orphan. His name is the only one on the household registration book. The yard we live in belongs to Jin Zhengtai and his grandmother. He also has the yard certificate, which says it's in Jin Zhengtai's name. This is his private property. Now they have built a house in Jin Zhengtai's yard, which is a forced occupation of someone else's homestead. Jin Zhengtai wants to take it back, so they use this trick."
Gu Jingxiu looked at the mother and son and sneered, "If you eat someone else's food, you should spit it out. Now we live in a society ruled by law. Kneeling down means someone else's words. No one is working hard anymore. If you encounter a problem, just kneel down and it will be solved."
Secretary Wang figured out their relationship and said hurriedly, "Hurry up and stand up. It's inappropriate to kneel on the ground."
If I didn't know, I would have thought that he, as a local official, was oppressing the people.
Zhang looked at the stepmother and Lao Jin, pondered for a few seconds, and then pointed at them and said, "I remember now, you are the son and daughter-in-law of the old man who lives in this yard, right? I remember that when I was stationed in the village, the old man was sick and no one cared for him. I went to your house to do ideological work on you and asked you to take the old man to see a doctor. Later, you didn't take care of the old man. In the end, it was the village cadres who pulled a cart and took the old man to the town health center for treatment."
People have memories. Cadre Zhang remembered the bad things they had done. The stepmother lowered her head in embarrassment and kowtowed to the cadre, "We were poor before and had no money to pay for the elderly's medical treatment. We also had our own difficulties."
