Chapter 58 Wang Boan
At this time, Wang Boan was running around at home in a panic.
Unlike Lu Zhengde, he doesn't want to get involved in the village's mess at all.
Whenever there was any problem in Xiaoniu Village and it came to his attention, he would help whoever sent him the most gifts.
Like the fight on the mountain this time, if it happened under normal circumstances, he would just pretend not to see it. If something really happened, he would at most blame it on his poor supervision.
But this time it was different, because the place where he hid the money was discovered.
When Landlord Wang and his family were sent to labor reform, he promised the landlord to rescue his grandson, but he hid the landlord and cheated him out of all his money.
Later, the whole family died. Before the landlord died, he thought his grandson had escaped.
Wang Boan felt that he had done a good thing. Bad people like him should have been tortured to death, but he was kind enough to leave some hope for the landlord Wang.
In the end, his grandson couldn't hold on, and he could only blame his grandson for not living up to his expectations.
Later, when the educated youth went to the countryside, it was easier to make money. Some people came to him for money to use their connections, while others came to him for money to cover up their own crimes.
Wang Boan's attitude towards this money is to accept it as it comes, but whether the matter can be accomplished is another matter.
After being the village chief for so many years, he thought that he was not a good person, but he was not a bad person either.
Compared with those who rob and kill, he is considered to have a conscience. At most, he just took a little more money and pretended not to see anything when something happened.
He was about to retire, and Wang Bo'an had made all the preparations. He had also inquired about the price of silver outside. When the time came, he would sell all the money he had earned over the years, and the money would be enough to buy a big house for his grandson.
Unexpectedly, God was so blind that the place where he hid the money was discovered in the end.
Now that a lot of people were gathered there, he couldn't do anything he wanted to do.
He'd been fretting at home these past few days, pacing around the yard with his hands behind his back every day. His sighs had annoyed his wife, "Wang Bo'an, if you want to get upset, go outside and get upset. If you keep pacing around and sighing in the yard, you won't even be able to eat dinner."
Wang Boan was already angry, and after hearing what his wife said, he took out all his anger on her, "You bitch, what do you know?"
His wife didn't tolerate him and immediately retorted, "What do I not understand? You're just jealous of others who have dug up money in the mountains. You want to dig too, but you can't compete with them, so you can only be angry at home."
Because he hid the money without telling his wife, he couldn't say anything when faced with what his wife said.
"What do you know? The money on the mountain..." is mine.
His wife looked at his constipated face and laughed at him mercilessly, "Why, you don't want to say that the money on the mountain is yours, do you?"
"Is there nothing else in your big head? You spend all day thinking about how to get other people's money. You've been doing it for so long, but I haven't seen you bring any money home."
He couldn't win the argument with his wife, so he simply stopped talking and went out. "I'm too lazy to talk to you, you long-haired, short-sighted, loser woman."
Xiaoniu Village is similar to Xiaoshi Village. Most of the people who can carry a hoe have gone to the mountains to dig for silver.
The main reason is that now that we have finished extracting rapeseed oil and planting soybeans and corn, there is nothing else to do except weeding every few days.
Normally at this time, the younger villagers would go out to look for short-term jobs, while the older ones would sit at the entrance of the village and play cards.
Now that they heard that silver had been dug up in the mountains, all these people ran up the mountain, and the village seemed empty.
Wang Boan walked around outside and didn't see anyone. He became even more anxious. So many people ran up the mountain. What if they took away all his money?
At this time, his nephew Wang Xin'an came over from a distance. Seeing him, his eyes lit up and asked, "Uncle, why are you here?"
Because they had never argued with their wives before, Wang Boan spoke with a bit of anger, "What are you doing?"
"Don't you know? A box was dug out from the mountain, and it was full of money. Uncle, let's go dig together, there must be more in there."
"What? What did you say you dug out?" Wang Boan felt a little breathless. "Did you really dig out that box?"
Wang Xin'an gestured to the size of the box, his tone extremely excited, "It's such a big box of silver, there's no way I'm mistaken."
"I also saw that most of it was taken away by people from Xiaoshi Village. Uncle, do you think we should report it and confiscate all their money?"
Looking at his clueless nephew, Wang Boan slapped him on the forehead and said, "Are you stupid? If the police take the money, what can we do about it?"
Now that the money has been taken away, he has to find a way to get it back. "Do you have any good friends?"
Wang Xin'an's nephew is usually idle. He watches his wife support the family while he goes out to play cards with some of his friends.
When Wang Boan first heard what he said, he thought his uncle was going to scold him, and shrank his head, "Uncle, I don't hang out with them anymore."
"As soon as you open your mouth I know what you're going to say. Save that for lying to your mother."
"You find your friends and find a way to pretend to be police officers and go find the people in Xiaoshi Village. Tell them that the money they dug up belongs to Landlord Wang and that they should hand it over as evidence. That way, the money will be in our hands."
"Uncle, what's wrong with your brain? You can even come up with such an idea. It's amazing."
"Okay, stop flattering me and go find someone. If you're late, they'll have spent all the money."
Wang Xin'an left happily, still calculating how much money he could make from this trip.
Wang Boan was also thinking that for those people in Xiaoshi Village who had never seen the world, he could just find someone to pretend to be a policeman and cheat them out of their money. Then, as long as he could fool that stupid nephew, he could get most of the money back.
The uncle and nephew are here imagining a bright future.
On the other side, Lu Zhengde was almost going crazy with work on the mountain. So many people from the two villages gathered on the mountain. There were fights and troubles from time to time, and people stole things at night.
The village chief of Xiaoniu Village is a person who doesn't care about anything. He is the only one in charge here and is so busy that he has no time to go home.
Another villager came to tell him that the police had come to his door.
He hurried down the mountain again, without even having time to change his clothes, and went to meet the so-called police comrade.
Two men, both in wrinkled uniforms, stood there in a slovenly manner. When they saw him coming, they said arrogantly, "Are you the head of Xiaoshi Village?"
"I heard that a box of money was dug up in your village. We checked and found that it was Landlord Wang's money. It's a good thing you found it, so please hand it over."
To be honest, things have been happening in Xiaoshi Village for the past two years, and he has seen the police several times, but this is the first time he has seen a policeman who looks so much like a gangster, and he is a little suspicious.
"Comrade police officer, you claim this money belongs to Landlord Wang. Do you have any evidence?"
The two thugs rolled up their sleeves and threatened, "Just turn it in if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Be careful or I'll arrest you all."
With such a threat, he looked even less like a policeman and more like a gangster.
"Are you really the police?"
"What are you doing? You don't even trust the police? Are you looking for death?" The two thugs pointed at the police logo on their clothes and said, "Why don't you go and get the money?"
I don't know where they found the clothes. Not only are they wrinkled, but the words on the sign are crooked and there's a typo.
Just now, Lu Zhengde was in a hurry and didn't have time to take a closer look. Now that he looks carefully, he has to admire these people's courage.
After realizing that they were pretending, Lu Zhengde was no longer panicked.
"Who sent you here? You even thought of pretending to be a police officer. The words on your clothes are sewn wrong."
The two thugs were a little panicked and wanted to check whether the words on their clothes were really sewn wrong, but they could not read.
They remembered what Wang Xinjun had said about the people in Xiaoshi Village being timid and inexperienced, so they feigned composure and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? We are the police."
"The money you dug up is from Landlord Wang's case. You must turn it in."
Lu Zhengde didn't waste time talking to them. "Okay, you don't want to tell me, right? Then let's go find the police."
Two young men came up and tied up the gangster.
The gangster panicked, not expecting things to turn out like this. "Brother, we're just jealous of the money you dug up, and we were just joking with you."
"Who sent you?"
The two thugs were a little hesitant.
Seeing their appearance, Lu Zhengde immediately ordered his men to take the thugs away.
The two panicked and quickly begged for mercy, "We said, we said, it was Wang Xinjun who asked us to come, and said he would give us a share of the money after the job was done."
The villagers watching the excitement nearby knew that Wang Xinjun was from Xiaoniu Village, and they also became angry. "Village Chief, the people from Xiaoniu Village are going too far. We can't just stand by and watch them bully us, right?"
"Village chief, just say the word and we'll go to Xiaoniu Village."
Seeing that everyone was about to burst into anger, Lu Zhengde quickly comforted them, "Don't worry, we will definitely go to Xiaoniu Village to seek an explanation for this matter."
"But don't be impulsive. If you get hurt, the medical treatment will cost a lot of money. It's not worth it."
"We don't bully others, but we can't let others bully us either. I will definitely ask for an explanation from everyone."
"Taking those two people together will also be considered as evidence."
With his comfort, the people in Xiaoshi Village soon calmed down and took the gangsters to Xiaoniu Village to ask for an explanation.
