Chapter 77 It’s too late
If Chen Qingqing really advertised her ability, not only Chen Qingqing, but the entire Fengwei Village would become the target of public criticism.
As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, but not everyone wants to take on this heavy responsibility.
Moreover, everyone has the bad nature of greed. If they knew that Chen Qingqing had extraordinary abilities, they would only ask for more and more.
Ming Peilan could only say: "Just do it according to Qingqing's ideas. As for what the results will be, Qingqing knows better than anyone else."
The village chief opened his mouth.
"You also want me to do it according to her ideas?"
"She won't hurt us." Ming Peilan said this and walked towards the car.
The village chief stood there for a long time, watching the car go away, struggling in his heart.
After a while, he finally made up his mind.
The next morning, Chen Qingqing packed her luggage with her family and prepared to leave.
There were two more people on the road this time.
One was Ming Peilan and the other was Xu Yi.
Chen Qingqing's family and Shang Li were in one car.
Ming Peilan and Xu Yi were in another car with three other people.
The car was just full.
They moved their luggage to the car first, and then sat in the house waiting for the village chief to come.
After a while, Uncle Zhang really showed up.
"Qingqing, I've done what you said and asked everyone to kill all the livestock, leaving none behind."
"What do we do with the meat?"
"Divide it equally," said Chen Qingqing.
"Don't go to the sea in the future. The things in the ice cellar are enough for you to survive the winter."
Uncle Zhang was stunned again when he heard this: "But..."
"No buts, Uncle Zhang, just do as I say."
Uncle Zhang couldn't help frowning and raised his voice: "Qingqing, you have been too unreasonable these two days."
"You asked us to kill livestock and prevent us from going to the sea to fish. What other way do we have to survive?"
"Qingqing, I know you have enough supplies. Your family can indeed have enough food and clothing and don't have to worry about the future, but the rest of us can't!"
"Although the food in the ice cellar is enough for everyone to survive the winter, we can't just stop working like this."
"Before, the villagers listened to you and planted some crops that can be harvested in a short time, but now the harvest is almost over, and you don't let us continue to plant... So now we are just eating and waiting to die?"
"Uncle Zhang, it's okay if you think so." Chen Qingqing said fearlessly.
"It's not just me who thinks so." Uncle Zhang's tone could hardly hide his anger.
But when he saw Lin Bo and Shang Li standing up and looking in his direction, Uncle Zhang took a deep breath and lowered his voice as much as possible.
"The villagers all think so now. Everyone admits that you have helped the village a lot, but your recent actions really leave us confused. If you don't give everyone a reasonable explanation, how can everyone obey you in the future?"
Chen Qingqing smiled: "I don't need everyone to obey me."
"Actually, I've been waiting for you for a long time, just to say this to you."
"We are leaving today."
The village chief was stunned: "Go? Where to?"
"We plan to leave Fengwei Village, but the specific destination has not been determined yet."
The village chief panicked: "This won't do. Why don't you say hello in advance and leave? And didn't you say you would stay here for a long time? If you leave without saying goodbye, the villagers will definitely think that I said something to you that I shouldn't..."
"Uncle Zhang, you worry too much. What you said must be what the villagers are thinking."
Chen Qingqing paused. "No matter what everyone thinks, I will leave. And my leaving now must be what everyone wants."
"No, Qingqing." The village chief's tone softened. "What I said just now was just a spur of the moment. I didn't think I would say it. Don't take it to heart."
"If you leave because of this, how can I explain to the villagers? We can discuss things. We are all family."
Shang Li couldn't help but speak up: "It's not just this one thing."
"Sometimes my sister can't tell everyone why she does something, but everyone always insists that my sister explain the cause and effect."
"My sister can't do it."
The village chief was about to say something else, but he heard Chen Qingqing continue: "So, I leave, or everyone overthrows my management, one of these two things will happen sooner or later."
"I'm leaving now, just to avoid this embarrassing choice in advance, so that everyone can save face."
The village chief was completely dumbfounded.
He realized that the daily necessities in the house had been moved almost all, and the curtains were drawn, as if the owner of the house was going away.
Chen Qingqing was really leaving.
The village chief suddenly understood what Chen Qingqing and Ming Peilan said to him yesterday.
...It turned out that Chen Qingqing had planned to leave a long time ago.
She asked the village chief to order the villagers to kill Shengchu, and there was a reason, but she didn't tell everyone the reason.
This kind of action will surely make the villagers who are used to Chen Qingqing's gentle personality feel dissatisfied. They will feel that Chen Qingqing's personality has changed drastically, and subconsciously want to ask for an explanation.
In other words, they want to use the power of the crowd to make Chen Qingqing return to her former self.
And this move hits the mark for Chen Qingqing.
Since the villagers are dissatisfied with what she has done, there is no need for her to stay here.
If Chen Qingqing said she wanted to leave two days ago, the villagers would definitely not agree, and they might even use some tough measures to keep her.
At that time, both sides will suffer.
But now that Chen Qingqing said she wanted to leave, the villagers' resistance is not as strong as before.
The village chief sat on the sofa dejectedly.
It turned out that all of this was within Chen Qingqing's calculations.
"Qingqing, you really have to leave."
"…What's wrong with our village? Although everyone has some opinions, these are minor issues. Just say the word and I'll solve them. They shouldn't be a reason for you to leave the village."
And Chen Qingqing is so smart, she should have 100 ways to get the villagers used to her new way of doing things.
"Uncle Zhang, I know Fengwei Village is a good place, and everyone treats me very well, so I will use this gentle method to make everyone accept my departure." Chen Qingqing's tone also softened a lot.
If it was somewhere else, Chen Qingqing wouldn't care about the lives of these people, she would just drive out directly.
"Before I leave, I have something to tell you. Everything I told you to do and arranged for the villagers to do will play a vital role in the future survival of Fengwei Village."
"As long as you keep going, you will definitely survive safely. This is also the last effort I can make for Fengwei Village and everyone."
Chen Qingqing was determined to leave, and the village chief knew that there was no way to keep her.
The village chief was silent for a long time and sighed heavily.
"If you're leaving, take some meat with you."
"The pork and chicken are freshly slaughtered. I remember Xiaohuan said he likes to eat the local chicken in the village."
"Bring some more to eat on the road."
Chen Qingqing did not refuse. She looked at the village chief and smiled: "Thank you, Uncle Zhang."
"What are you thanking me for? Your contribution to the village during this period is obvious to everyone. We should thank you... Don't worry, I will do my best to manage Fengwei Village."
"But if you want to come back in the future, you must come back to take a look."
"I know, Uncle Zhang."
After a while, Uncle Zhang drove behind their car and escorted them away.
The car drove to the entrance of the village, and the villagers swarmed out.
The village chief got out of the car and asked people to remove the roadblocks, and did not say that Chen Qingqing was going to leave.
Everything was just like when they went out to clean up the zombies.
But the sharp-eyed villagers still noticed the large and small packages on the two cars.
They would never bring so many supplies when they go out normally.
They realized that Chen Qingqing was going to take people away, and they all rushed over to stop them.
The village chief stood in the crowd and said a few words to everyone.
Everyone was silent for a while, and slowly made way for the car to pass.
The two cars drove out of Fengwei Village one after the other.
Chen Qingqing held Xiaohuan in her arms and looked at the figures of the people getting farther and farther away and more and more blurred in the rearview mirror.
She lowered her head and touched Xiaohuan's head.
"Are you reluctant to leave?"
Xiao Huan nodded, then shook her head: "We will come back later, right, Mom?"
Chen Qingqing smiled and said, "Yes."
In fact, she was reluctant to leave.
According to the address of the V City shelter given by the man, they set out for the place where the legendary small weapons depot was located.
The car drove from morning to night, and the sky was dim. Except for stopping for lunch at noon, they had been sitting in the car and were drowsy.
Suddenly, there was a "click" sound on the car window glass, waking everyone up.
Immediately afterwards, countless "click" sounds became one, and Lin Bo quickly stepped on the brakes.
