Outside the yard, several village cadres were discussing the resources they could mobilize.
Feng Yijia in the courtyard told the two police officers who were asking questions about what happened before his death in his previous life.
Although it has been decades since the incident, she still remembers everything that happened that day because of her hatred and unwillingness.
The rosy glow in the sky that had not yet faded that evening, the woods that were beginning to grow dark, the two pairs of hands reaching out to him, the disgusting obscenities, and the frightening sound of chasing footsteps.
She remembered clearly the fear of falling off the cliff during the struggle, and the intense pain of being stoned to death while she was unconscious.
But after the passage of time and countless recollections, when Feng Yijia spoke about these things to the police again, he no longer felt the panic and helplessness he had at that time. What remained was the anger and resentment that had accumulated over time, as he watched his enemy getting better and better but was unable to do anything.
She told the truth about what happened before, and only tampered with some of the events after she fell off the cliff.
He dismissed Meng Sheng and the Zhang family, saying that he had overheard the conversation between the two brothers Meng Yun and Meng Yu, and knew that they were angry with him for being ignorant and wanted to kill him to silence him, so he hid in the mountains and dared not return to the village.
Only after she saw that the village chief and his family had been arrested and the police had gone to their shack did she dare to come down the mountain and show herself.
After the two police officers finished taking the statement, they comforted the man and left the room.
Feng Yijia sat on the chair, staring blankly at the ground beneath his feet.
The hatred that had lasted for more than 20 years was finally about to end, but she suddenly felt a little empty in her head and was very uncomfortable.
A small meeting of several village cadres outside the courtyard had also concluded. Feng Chunhua entered the room and spoke on behalf of the village: "Yejia, the village is also responsible for your injury this time.
We have just discussed it and asked Aunt Xu for her opinion. The medical expenses will be put on the village account. We will also allocate some nutrition expenses, accommodation expenses, and food expenses. You can rest assured to eat, live and recuperate here.
In addition, during this period of time, the village will organize some people to build a simple house for you. When you recover, the house will be almost ready, and you can live in your own home!"
After she finished speaking, she paused and continued, "I also raised the issue of your subsequent life.
Accountant Chen and Meng Jimin have both expressed their opinions. After sending the police away, they will go to your uncle's and your uncle's homes to take back the land that belongs to you.
Once you recover from your injuries, work harder and your life will slowly get better."
After saying a long string of words, Feng Chunhua stopped talking and secretly sighed that this cousin from the next room could be considered a blessing in disguise.
Otherwise, a woman who has nothing would find it difficult to live a decent life, let alone survive.
Feng Yijia never thought about making a living by farming in the future.
She really didn't expect that the villagers would even decide on her land matters.
The land has only been transferred to the households for less than two years and is now being treated as a treasure. Her two uncles are not easy to talk to.
The village was willing to take the initiative to get involved in this trouble. Even if it was for the sake of public security, making life difficult for those two families, Feng Yi's family would still be kind to them.
She recalled that the villagers had helped her prepare the coffin and grave for her in her previous life, and she overcame all the injustices and cold treatment she had endured in the village. She said sincerely, "Thank you for taking the trouble for me.
However, if the village wants to organize people to help me build a house, they can't ask them to help for free. I'll see how much they're paying per day. Remember, I'll pay them back when I recover from my injury and make money.
The same goes for the various expenses paid by the village. I will definitely pay them back when I have money in the future."
This village is extremely poor and the village committee can't come up with any money.
Now that she has been reborn, it is only a matter of time before she makes money. It is better for her not to take advantage of the village and its villagers.
In Feng Chunhua's impression, this distant niece from her mother's side was very introverted for various reasons and didn't communicate much with others. She would tolerate ordinary things if she could, but would take action when she couldn't tolerate it anymore. Her temperament was extremely cowardly and cruel. Although her reasons were understandable, she was not someone she liked or wanted to get close to.
After hearing what she said and looking at her again, I felt that this girl was better than many of the people in the village who were petty and never satisfied with taking advantage of others.
Therefore, he couldn't help but be more considerate of others and whispered, "You should pay the people who built the house, so that I won't be embarrassed to speak to you in the future.
Everything in this world is easy to repay, except the debt of gratitude.
But don't worry about paying back the money the village gave you. If you don't take it, you don't know whose pocket it will end up in. Just use it with confidence!"
After hearing this, Feng Yijia said nothing more.
Feng Chunhua completed her mission and left quickly.
Outside the hospital, several police officers asked about Xu Xiuping and Feng Yijia's injuries. After learning that her body was not suitable for the bumpy ride on the mountain road, they gathered together to discuss and decided not to bring her back to the bureau. Finally, one of them kindly raised some money for Feng Yijia's medical treatment and then said goodbye and left.
Chen Hai trotted home and asked his wife to prepare a chicken to entertain the guests. He had just plucked the feathers and had not yet put the chicken into the pot when he was notified that the public security comrades had left.
I immediately thought a lot, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was an expression of dissatisfaction with these village cadres.
Although the public security is not in the same system as them, didn’t you see that Meng Jiefang, who just crawled out of the countryside, has a lot of connections behind him? Who among the public security officers knows who is behind them or who they know.
If someone says a few more words, he might be demoted from acting village chief to villager.
It’s easy to go up, but life will be difficult when you come down.
The strange looks from the villagers can drive a person crazy.
So, Chen Hai, who was more clever than others, didn't bother to eat lunch. He called Meng Jiemin and took a few members of the militia to go to Old Feng's house at noon.
There are relatively few people with the surname Feng in Mengjia Village, but after years of reproduction and branching out, there are more than ten households.
Why are Feng Yi's uncles and aunts called the Old Feng Family? It's because the courtyard they live in has existed the longest.
There are three bright rooms and three dark rooms, plus the side rooms and the kitchen on the left and right, all with walls made of stone slabs and a floor paved with bluestone slabs. After years of test, except for the replacement of doors and windows and the thatched roof, it is still the best courtyard in the village.
Mengjia Village is located in a remote mountain area. There is no shortage of stones, but chiseling and transporting stones are time-consuming, labor-intensive, heavy and dangerous tasks.
None of the villagers had the courage to build the entire house with stone. At most, the courtyard walls and foundations were built with stone slabs.
The old Feng family split up when Feng Yijia's parents were still alive. At that time, one yard was divided into three parts, and earthen bricks were used to separate the middle.
The second oldest family, who lived in the middle, was ruined, and Feng Yi's family was raised in turns by the two families on the condition that her house had to be compensated to the families of her two uncles.
Therefore, the partition in the middle was removed early.
At this time, the two families were also discussing Feng Yijia, who had been missing for a few days and suddenly appeared.
