"Qing Gang?" Pei Qingshan was surprised. He didn't expect Pei Qinggang to come with Ruan Niannian. In his impression, the only connection between Pei Qinggang and Ruan Niannian was because of Pei Yuanzheng.
They are not even familiar with each other because of their gender.
He was indeed right.
Pei Qinggang took the initiative to explain: "Yuan Zheng asked me to follow my brother and sister-in-law. He said that things have been going on a bit lately."
"Well, come in, everyone is waiting." Pei Qingshan greeted quickly.
Building a school is more important right now, but Pei Qingshan also took note of what Pei Yuanzheng said. When he has time, he will ask Pei Yuanzheng about it.
Ruan Niannian followed Pei Qingshan into the meeting room, but Pei Qinggang did not follow because he did not like a group of people arguing together.
Before entering the meeting room, Ruan Niannian thought that there were only her and a few village committee cadres.
After entering, she found that there were a few old men sitting there. Her second uncle and another elder from the Pei family whom she should call grandpa were also there, but she couldn't remember which row they were in.
"Okay, stop arguing. The expedition wife is here, and she naturally has her own rules." Pei Qingshan shouted.
He really didn't want to pay attention to these elders. The Pei family was still okay, he could persuade them, but there were so many people in the Zhang family who relied on their seniority to bully others.
Very annoying.
"Humph! Yuanzheng wife, the team said you were the leader. I want to ask you, shouldn't the Pei family and the Zhang family jointly manage this school? Even if it was built because of your Pei family, my Zhang family is also a big family in the team. It's impossible that we don't have any management rights at all, right?"
The person who was speaking was the patriarch of the Zhang family. He had high cheekbones, sunken eyes, and a mouth completely covered by a beard. He did not look kind.
Ruan Niannian snorted in her heart and thought: Is this old man trying to scare me with this mean look?
She smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. The words that came out of her mouth were gentle, but they shocked everyone, "Regarding the management rights of the school, my words don't count, and your words don't count either."
"The editor-in-chief of the newspaper I submitted my article to told me that the higher-ups intend to send a principal to manage the school and help our region's education. Could it be that your Zhang family wants to usurp power?"
"That won't do, Second Uncle, Brother Qingshan, you've heard it today. If something happens to the principal sent down at that time, it will definitely be the work of the Zhang family. If you dare to say this today, won't you kill the new principal tomorrow?"
Ruan Niannian suppressed her smile, her face full of worry: "How about I write a letter and tell them that we should not open this school here, as it could easily lead to a lawsuit involving murder. No, no, I'll go to the commune and make a phone call."
As she was about to go out, the people inside hurriedly tried to stop her.
"Don't go, don't go."
"We in the Zhang family didn't mean that. You misunderstood, my daughter-in-law."
"How dare we? We didn't know that the higher-ups would send someone to manage it. In the past, all the affairs of the village were always decided by our two families after discussion. Now we are thinking in the wrong direction."
A bunch of old-timers.
Ruan Niannian's face turned cold, not giving the Zhang family's elders any face at all, "I built the school myself. Do you believe that I can immediately take back the money and stop building the school with just one word? Still want power? You plan to let your children never know how to read and count for the rest of their lives, so keep fighting. At worst, I can open a school myself, but I won't admit your Zhang family's children. How about that?"
By the end, her tone was full of threats.
She thought that she came here today just to review the team's proposals for the school and maybe give some suggestions, but she didn't expect Pei Qingshan to give her such a trouble.
It just so happens that she is not afraid of trouble.
Because of Zhang Tianci's incident before, she had no good feelings towards most people in the Zhang family. The worst that could happen was a fall-out. Then those people in the Zhang family who worked in Pei Yuanzheng's place couldn't even think about making money and could just go home and continue working.
There are many ways to deal with the Zhang family, but they dare to take advantage of their seniority and act like an elder to fight for power. She, Ruan Niannian, is not someone who can be scared of anyone.
She just took advantage of the superiors to bully others, so what? Do these old men dare to ask the superiors for confirmation? They dare to say this and that to the younger generations like them.
They are just a bunch of paper tigers, howling every day that they are the king of beasts. How shameless they are.
The elders of the Zhang family looked at each other. They had not expected Ruan Niannian to be so tough. They had not even used the arguments they had prepared.
How can we talk about this if we just ask them to send the money back?
Everyone's face turned red, and they apologized if necessary, and left if necessary.
After the elders of the Zhang family left, Ruan Niannian found that the conference room was much emptier. It turned out that the whole conference room was filled with people from the Zhang family? !
The village party secretary was obviously relieved. He picked up his enamel cup and called accountant Zhang to leave. "These old stubborn people are finally gone. Yuanzheng's wife said it well! Captain, the next thing is up to you. We are leaving first. We can't come up with any ideas for such a big thing and can't help."
After he finished speaking, Pei Qingshan did not try to keep him and let him leave.
The second uncle would not cause trouble. He stood up cheerfully and said, "Yuanzheng's wife is awesome! If you need any help from me in the future, come find me. I'm going back now. Old Seven, let's go."
It turned out that he was the seventh child and looked much older than his sixth uncle.
"Second Grandpa, Seventh Grandpa, take care." Ruan Niannian smiled and saw them to the door.
She still respects these kind elders in the Pei family.
Back in the meeting room, Pei Qingshan showed Ruan Niannian the charter that he and the village party secretary had drafted a long time ago, and said jokingly: "The party secretary did help a lot. He might have been afraid that the accountant would have some ideas, so he said that and left first."
Ruan Niannian nodded. It was obvious that the current village party secretary was a very clear-headed person. Accountant Zhang seemed to be a good person at the moment, but who could predict what would happen in the future? It was always better to be on guard.
What Pei Qingshan fears most is that the Pei family and the Zhang family will fight for the position of team leader. It’s not that he is greedy for power, but the conflict will indeed affect the harmonious development of a place.
After reading the charter, Ruan Niannian repeatedly confirmed in her heart and said directly to Pei Qingshan: "Just follow your ideas. I have no objection. When will the commune secretary come to visit? At that time, I will report the matter of appointing the principal to him. If he doesn't have a suitable candidate, I will find someone else."
"It should be the border of the festival. I guess it was after the school was built. Once the achievements were confirmed, they would visit and express their condolences."
It's still early, the Dragon Boat Festival has just passed. This year's Dragon Boat Festival is one hundred days away from the Mid-Autumn Festival. It seems that I can't wait until the visit to get feedback. I will ask Pei Yuanzheng if he knows the cadres of the commune and introduce them to him.
"Okay, I understand. Brother Qingshan, sister-in-law, I'll go back first."
After Ruan Niannian separated from them, she took Pei Qinggang straight home. When she was having lunch with Wu Lanhua at noon, Pei Qingsong and Li Jinhua came over together.
They had sorted out Li Dani's inheritance and came to inform the second, third and fourth brothers to go to the old house together in the evening.
