If they hadn't prepared in advance, they probably wouldn't have been able to leave this village today.
This was the first time Zhang Aiai had realized that the village where she had lived for several years could be so united.
It's amazing that a village where neighbors used to argue and fight every day can now unite against a common enemy!
Zhang Aiai curled her lips sarcastically, but she found this united front against outsiders laughable.
I don't know if people's hearts have turned black or their minds have become corrupted, but they actually united on such a matter.
What about your values?
"Qinghua, is it all settled?" Just as the atmosphere among everyone was becoming increasingly tense and on the verge of conflict, someone suddenly entered from outside.
Turning around, he saw Li Weiguo walking over with a dozen or twenty young men. "Have you reached an agreement? Has the Fang family agreed?"
Zhang Qinghua nodded, "Agreed, I'll go get the paperwork done." But inwardly, he was curious. Why was Li Weiguo here?
Originally, Li Weiguo was too old to have said he was coming or come along, which is why Zhang Qinghua was curious.
Li Weiguo chuckled and said, "Since neither side has any objections, let's get on with the formalities quickly."
"Where's your village secretary? I just happened to be here, I'll catch up with him." Li Weiguo said this to the old man from the Fang family.
When people around heard that Li Weiguo was looking for the Party Secretary, their expressions changed in various ways. Many people quietly stepped back, and a path was cleared for them without them even realizing it.
If the Party Secretary finds out, he'll definitely criticize them; no one dares to go against the Party Secretary.
Zhang Qinghua smiled coldly, then revealed a set of white, cold teeth. "Fang Yaoqing, let's go. I haven't disappointed you; I can get out of here."
The people Li Weiguo brought stood beside Zhang Qinghua without saying a word, but their message was clear: they supported Zhang Qinghua.
The meaning of that threat was clear to everyone.
"Yaoqing. Go, go." The old man from the Fang family hunched over, seemingly aging a lot in an instant, with deeper wrinkles on his face.
He understood that the situation was hopeless and they were powerless to change it.
They had no chance of turning things around to begin with, and now that Li Weiguo is protecting them, what can they do but obediently follow along?
Li Weiguo is no ordinary person. Having served as the Party Secretary for so long, he must have the ability and the means to achieve it.
They were just ordinary villagers, powerless to resist.
“…Fine,” Fang Yaoqing gritted his teeth, but had no choice but to compromise.
Fang Yaoqing could sense the intimidating aura emanating from the young people around Zhang Qinghua.
Now, he had no choice but to go along.
Li Weiguo watched as Zhang Qinghua led Fang Yaoqing and Zhang Aiai away. Only then did he walk back into the village with a smile.
"Oh dear, it's been so long since I've been here. This is a good opportunity to have a good chat with your Party Secretary about your village."
It might not seem like much at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, isn't this just a threat, a way of telling on someone?
People who were just together immediately lowered their heads, afraid of being remembered by Li Weiguo. Some even turned and ran away, as if they were burying their heads in the sand.
Soon, everyone was gone, leaving only the old man and woman from the Fang family.
"Oh... what's going on here?" Old man Fang sighed, his wrinkles making Li Weiguo feel sorry for him.
But why did they let Fang Yaoqing go unchecked in the first place?
If we had stopped it, things might not have turned out this way.
Li Weiguo showed absolutely no sympathy for the old man from the Fang family.
After learning of the injustice Zhang Aiai had suffered, Li Weiguo was furious. He wanted nothing more than to teach Fang Yaoqing a lesson.
Qinghua has already shown great restraint in accepting the outcome.
So, all he did was glance at the old man from the Fang family and think, "If only he had known this would happen, why did he do it in the first place?" What's the use of sighing and complaining now?
In the end, Li Weiguo didn't go to find the village secretary. Instead, he strolled leisurely out of the village with his hands behind his back.
Thinking to himself, "It's a good thing he came, otherwise Qinghua and the others would have been arguing here for ages!"
He wasn't originally going to come, but then he thought about it and became a little worried.
Zhang Qinghua is a very steady person, so it's definitely not a waste of time for him to ask someone to go with him.
Li Weiguo understood the key point after a little thought, and feeling uneasy, he immediately followed after them.
Seeing other people outside the village, I knew things hadn't reached that crucial stage yet, and I couldn't even breathe a sigh of relief. Then someone ran back and said that Zhang Qinghua and the others were being watched and not allowed to leave.
Afterwards, they had no choice but to rush over with their men to support Zhang Qinghua. Otherwise, they would have a hard time leaving the village.
Sure enough, we got stuck.
Now that the problem was solved, Li Weiguo walked home in a good mood.
Zhang Qinghua and Lili had been taking care of Daqing and his wife, which made them feel very indebted, but they had no way to repay them.
Now that he finally had an opportunity to help, Li Weiguo was naturally happy to step forward, as it was also a way of repaying a small favor.
Meanwhile, Zhang Qinghua and his group arrived in town without stopping and immediately began to complete the formalities without a moment's rest.
Only after all the formalities were completed, and Zhang Aiai and Fang Yaoqing had no further relationship, and Fang Xiaotao went with Zhang Aiai, did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Now I'm not afraid of things changing, and I can finally relax.
As Zhang Aiai stepped out of the door, she looked at the materials, and tears finally welled up in her eyes.
"Finally...finally it's okay...finally..." She had been waiting for this day, as if she had been waiting for a very long time.
"Things will get better and better in the future," Zhang Qinghua offered a dry, perfunctory consolation.
In fact, he had no experience in comforting others, and even though the person was his own sister, he still felt very awkward.
He only ever comforted Lili, but he couldn't use the same method to comfort Aiai, could he?
In the end, all he could do was stay with Zhang Aiai and watch her cry.
After crying for a long time, Zhang Aiai finally calmed down, raised her head, her eyes red, but with a starlight in them.
"Brother, let's go home." Back to her own home.
They returned to their family home, where there was no beating or scolding.
Zhang Qinghua nodded. "Okay, let's go home."
Fang Yaoqing emerged from behind the two men, his hands nearly crumpled into a rag, and glared venomously at the three figures walking away.
I felt an intense hatred in my heart, yet I felt utterly powerless.
He understood that after today, he and Zhang Aiai would have no relationship whatsoever; from now on, they would be strangers.
From now on, he could no longer beat or scold the two of them. Nor would he follow her to the capital to experience the life he had always dreamed of.
And there was nothing he could do, because if he did anything, the Zhang brothers would not let him off the hook.
I was unwilling, but in the end I didn't dare to, so I could only grit my teeth and accept it.
Who can blame them for being more capable than themselves, and for not having the ability to compete with them?
I can only accept my bad luck.
And so, a couple who had lived together for over ten years separated.
