Chapter 89: Journey to the South of the Mountain (13)
Jiang Ningyue ate her meal with an expressionless face. She didn't have many good memories of her cousin.
Lazy and idle is a perfect description of him.
My cousin's wife wiped her tears and said, "I heard from some of Dapeng's friends that Dapeng was riding his motorcycle fine, but the car didn't see him and hit him. After knocking Dapeng down, the driver asked Dapeng for compensation, and he asked for two thousand yuan. Dapeng refused, so a fight broke out. In the end, the police arrested them all."
The local people are tough. Even in 2019, fights still happen from time to time, which is not a big deal.
Jiang Su looked at them blankly, "Well, what should we do? How about paying them two thousand as compensation?"
"They want 20,000 now."
My uncle took out a pipe from his pocket and lit it.
The previous car accident was a traffic accident, and the subsequent fight between Jiang Peng and the other party was a problem of provoking trouble and fighting.
Jiang Ningyue frowned and stood up to go back to the house.
The cousin's wife was anxious. She came here to ask Jiang Ningyue for help. She had heard that her sister-in-law was very powerful now. It was a big deal for them, but it should not be a big deal for Jiang Ningyue.
"Xiaoyue, you have to save your brother!"
Jiang Ningyue stopped, turned around, covered her nose and said, "Put out the cigarette first."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Jiang Su quickly said, "Can't you see I didn't even smoke?"
The uncle was stunned for a moment, subconsciously resisting Jiang Ningyue's words. But thinking of his son who was still in the police station, he didn't dare to say anything. He put the cigarette on the ground and extinguished it, then put it on the table, waiting to pick it up when he left.
Wang Zhen turned to look at Jiang Ningyue, "Xiaoyue! Your cousin is the eldest son and grandson of the Jiang family! You have to help him! Didn't the village chief come to our house a few days ago? Why don't you take some things to the village chief's house as a gift?"
Jiang Su frowned and scolded, "What do you know! Don't get involved. Xiaoyue knows what's going on."
Everyone immediately fell silent, all looking at Jiang Ningyue eagerly.
Jiang Ningyue waited until everyone fell silent before slowly asking, "Which police station?"
"It's the police station in our village."
"oh."
Jiang Ningyue took out her phone and called the director of the county party committee office. It was not necessary to contact Secretary Zhang of the county party committee for such a small matter.
"Director Li, I'm Jiang Ningyue."
The other party was very polite, but he didn't know why Jiang Ningyue came, so Jiang Ningyue went straight to the point.
"Excuse me. I have a personal matter to discuss with you. My brother was bumped into and then got into an argument and a shoving match. He's currently at the Dahe Township Police Station. Yes, his name is Jiang Peng, as in "Peng" (大鹏) with wings spread. Okay, Director Li, please excuse me."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ningyue looked at her cousin calmly, "Okay, I'm done."
My cousin's wife blinked, not quite understanding how a phone call could resolve the situation. "Who did you call? Is it reliable?"
"Director of the County Party Committee Office."
Several people looked at each other, confused as to what kind of official the director of the county party committee office was. But since it had the words "county party committee" on it, he must be a high-ranking official, right?
After Jiang Ningyue finished speaking, she looked at her uncle and said, "Uncle, Jiang Peng is almost thirty years old, why is he still acting like a child? He fights every day. Next time you have such a mess, don't come to me."
After saying that, Jiang Ningyue turned around and went back to the room.
Different people should treat the same thing in different ways.
If something happened to Jiang Ni or Zhao Yong, Jiang Ningyue would definitely take care of it. Not only that, she would also make the other party pay compensation and apologize.
Because Jiang Ni and Zhao Yong are honest people and will not take the initiative to cause trouble, so I have to support them.
But Jiang Peng is arrogant and domineering by nature. If he knew that someone was backing him up, who knows how much trouble he would cause.
Not long after, Director Li called Jiang Ningyue back and said that he had already communicated with the Dahe Township Police Station.
Jiang Ningyue expressed her gratitude a few more times.
The words of the county party committee office were indeed very effective. After receiving the call, the Dahe Township Police Station released Jiang Peng immediately. When the driver heard that this was Jiang Ningyue's brother, he was so scared that he apologized quickly and compensated Jiang Peng with 5,000 yuan.
Jiang Peng was so happy when he took the money. When he saw the attitude of the police and the boss towards him, his vanity was further satisfied.
I felt like I was floating in the air.
At that time, he and his group of friends took the money and lived a carefree life.
The next afternoon, at the request of his cousin's wife, Jiang Peng came to Jiang Ningyue's home with a box of local brand milk to express his gratitude.
Jiang Ningyue walked out slowly and looked at Jiang Peng coldly and calmly.
Jiang Peng smiled awkwardly and looked at Jiang Ningyue, "Xiaoyue, you're beautiful again."
Jiang Ningyue said calmly, "I heard you were fooling around again last night?"
"Hey, my friends helped me fight, shouldn't I treat them to a meal?"
Hearing Jiang Peng's words, Jiang Ningyue sneered, "I'm telling you this just once. I've already notified the police station. Next time you commit a crime, you'll be sentenced directly! This way, you won't have to bring trouble to your family."
Jiang Peng was shocked after hearing this and quickly explained: "He bumped into me yesterday and asked me to pay for it, so I hit him."
"I don't want to discuss this with you." Jiang Ningyue said calmly, "I'm just informing you."
Looking at Jiang Ningyue's calm eyes, Jiang Peng suddenly felt a little unfamiliar and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
My cousin's wife smiled apologetically and said, "Xiaoyue, your brother knows he's wrong. Don't argue with him."
"Um."
Jiang Ningyue nodded indifferently and walked into the house. The little dog followed Jiang Ningyue closely all the way to the bedroom.
Jiang Peng opened his mouth, but in the end, nothing came out.
Wang Zhen walked in and saw Jiang Peng and asked enthusiastically, "Dapeng, would you like to eat here tonight?"
Jiang Peng wanted to refuse, but his cousin's wife said, "Then I'll trouble you, Second Aunt. I'll help you."
"Okay, let's cook together. Dapeng, it's just right that you and your second uncle should have a drink tonight, and your second uncle is worried about not having any drinking buddies."
"Okay." Jiang Peng laughed.
In the evening, when Jiang Su saw Jiang Peng, he was reluctant to take out Moutai, but took out a bottle of Century Gold Emblem.
Jiang Peng took the wine and said with emotion: "Second Uncle, you have already drunk this wine? Do you understand what it means to drink it?"
Jiang Su laughed. "A bottle of Century Gold Seal worth over 200 yuan is like this? If I were to take out Moutai, wouldn't you be scared to death?"
While eating and drinking, Jiang Peng took out a cigarette from his pocket and was about to light it when Jiang Su immediately said, "Xiaoyue doesn't like the smell of cigarettes."
Jiang Peng opened his mouth. He had been smelling it for more than 20 years. How could he not like it?
However, Jiang Peng looked at Jiang Ningyue's expressionless face and didn't dare to say it out loud. Instead, he smiled and said, "I'll go out and smoke, I'll go out and smoke."
"Then I'll go too." Jiang Su also stood up. The uncle and nephew walked out and started smoking.
My cousin's wife was surprised to see this scene, "Second uncle doesn't smoke at home anymore?"
"He smoked too." Wang Zhen laughed, "But as soon as Xiaoyue came out, he pinched it."
“That’s amazing.”
The cousin's wife gave Jiang Ningyue a thumbs up.
After just one year of not seeing each other, Jiang Ningyue has changed drastically.
In fact, Jiang Ningyue didn't have much of a problem with the smell of cigarettes. Tian Jun even often smoked in front of her. The reason he didn't allow them to smoke was to use this little thing to establish his prestige.
If you want to feel comfortable at home, you have to make your own decisions.
——
Time quickly arrived at the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. The county committee sent someone to Dashi Village to deliver some New Year's goods to Jiang Ningyue. They were not expensive, but the words "Chenmu County Committee and County Government" on the packaging made Jiang Su very fond of them.
Originally, when Wang Zhen went to the market, he bought some couplets and blessing characters, but Jiang Su did not allow him to use them at all. Instead, he replaced them with couplets given by the Chenmu County Government.
The reason is very simple. There are words such as Chenmu County Government on it.
Jiang Ningyue frowned, "What an ugly couplet."
It's written in black and white, nothing special.
"Very good, very good." Jiang Su said with a slightly flattering smile, "The ones your mother bought are for the door, and the ones the government bought are for the courtyard gate."
Jiang Ningyue was completely speechless: "...official fan."
