Chapter 21 Hiding My Daughter
Huo Beixi had a fierce face from the first day he took office, making everyone think that he was someone who was not easy to mess with, so everyone was quite afraid of him. As soon as he finished speaking, the scene suddenly became quiet.
"A very serious incident happened in our flower shop recently. Electrician apprentice Sun Ping cut off the electricity to Uncle Tiefeng's house without permission, even though the family didn't owe him any electricity bills. He did it several times. This is an illegal act. Of course, it was also the negligence of our village cadres who failed to discover such a thing, which allowed him to act recklessly and make further advances."
Everyone found this unbelievable.
Even if they really owed electricity bills, the power supply company would not cut off people's electricity. What right did Sun Ping have to cut off people's electricity? Moreover, the Hua family was in such a miserable state now. Wouldn't he be adding insult to injury by doing this?
Hua Si Nian whispered, "This Sun Ping is really too much! He is simply lawless."
"Last night, Sun Ping signed a guarantee that he would never do such a thing to Uncle Tiefeng's family again, otherwise his house and homestead would be used as compensation to Uncle Tiefeng's family. This morning, after our meeting, we decided to let Sun Ping apologize to Uncle Tiefeng's family in public and compensate Uncle Tiefeng's family 100 yuan to buy new wires. After our inspection, Uncle Tiefeng's wires were indeed seriously damaged and needed to be replaced."
Afterwards, Sun Ping walked up and apologized to Hua Xiali's family in front of the whole village. He also took out a hundred yuan and gave it to Huo Beixi. Although he looked sincere on the surface, he hated these village cadres and Hua Xiali's family in his heart.
Because they made him lose face and ruin his reputation today, from now on, anyone who mentions his name, Sun Ping, will just shake their heads instead of admiring him.
It was obviously a very small matter, why did it have to be escalated to the level of law, why did he have to be dragged out and publicly executed?
After the meeting, everyone carried the benches and chairs back home. Sun Ping also left angrily. He had lost face today and a hundred yuan. He certainly couldn't just let it go.
But he still had to plan carefully. If he acted rashly, he might have to pay compensation to Hua Tiefeng's family for his house and homestead.
After Hua Xiali returned home, he took out the wheel of the cart and set it up. Hua Qiuli asked in confusion, "Second sister, what are you going to do?"
"It's nothing. Don't worry about these things." Hua Xiali then pushed the cart away. The road condition leading to the main road from the village was not good, with many potholes. Tomorrow they would push Hua's father to the hospital in town for acupuncture. She didn't want to bump Hua's father, so she planned to dig some sand at the river bay to fill the potholes, which would also reduce the bumps.
April is the season when rape flowers are in full bloom. Along the way, there are golden flowers everywhere, buzzing in the flowers. Everything is so beautiful.
She pushed the wooden cart to the river bay and stood on the river bank. The wide river surface was sparkling and the bamboo forest on the opposite side of the river was dense and lush. She didn't expect that there was a bamboo forest near her home. Why should she go far away and give up the wealth that was within her reach?
Besides, in the future they demolish this place and divert the river, all of this will be gone. Instead of wasting it, I might as well make more money!
After admiring the beautiful scenery for a while, Hua Xiali came to the river with a basket and a shovel, scooped up sand from the bottom of the water and put it into the basket. When the basket was full, he moved the basket to the Lingquan space. After several baskets were full, he came to the wooden cart, carefully transferred the bamboo basket full of sand, placed it on the wooden cart, and then pushed the wooden cart back.
When they reached the road in and out of the village, Hua Xiali parked the wooden cart at the very edge, then carried the sand down, poured it into the pothole, and then beat it with a shovel.
At this moment, a bicycle suddenly rode out of the village. Hua Xiali looked up and saw that it was Huo Beixi.
When the bicycle passed in front of Hua Xiali, it suddenly stopped. Huo Beixi put his feet on the ground and stopped the bicycle steadily. "What are you doing?"
"I..." Hua Xiali leaned on the iron shovel, "I'm going to take my father to the hospital for acupuncture treatment tomorrow. I want to fill the potholes on the road so that my father will suffer less."
"You are really filial." Huo Beixi parked the bike and took the shovel from Hua Xiali. "I'll do it."
"No need, Secretary Huo, you have a lot of things to do, so just go and take care of your own business! I can handle these few pits myself." Hua Xiali looked at Huo Beixi in surprise. She really didn't expect that Huo Beixi would do such a thing.
Wearing a black windbreaker, he was working under the early spring sunshine. Every move he made exuded a touch of nobility, making people reluctant to look away.
Coming back to her senses, Hua Xiali reached out to take back the shovel, but Huo Beixi refused to give her the chance.
At this time, someone suddenly said, "Comrade Public Security, it was her. She must have kidnapped my daughter and hid her..."
Hua Xiali looked up and saw Hua Qingmei's family leading two public security comrades walking towards them. Judging from the formation, it seemed that they were coming straight towards her.
"Public Security comrades, it is Hua Xiali. My daughter Hua Qingmei disappeared after we went to her house to look for her. You must arrest her and interrogate her thoroughly. You must find our Qingmei back." Hua Qingmei's mother cried and pointed at Hua Xiali, saying viciously.
That look seemed to indicate that Hua Xiali was the murderer who killed Hua Qingmei.
Huo Beixi stepped in front of Hua Xiali and used his broad back to block Hua Xiali tightly. "Comrade Gong'an, I am the village party secretary of Qinglong Village. If you have any questions, you can talk to me first."
The two public security comrades who came today were the same two comrades who came before. One was called Yu Qingxin and the other was called Yan Yishen. I found it quite funny to see Huo Beixi treat everyone like this, but now I have official business to attend to, so I didn't reminisce.
There is no need to make their relationship with Huo Beixi public.
"Secretary Huo, this is what happened. This family in your village went to the police station early this morning to report that their daughter was missing. Before she went missing, she went to see Comrade Hua Xiali. We will not arrest anyone until the investigation is complete. Please rest assured, Secretary Huo."
Yu Qingxin thought of almost everything that could make him uncomfortable, but it was too difficult to suppress the smile.
"Two police comrades, Hua Qingmei did come to see me before, but she said a few words to me and then went back without even drinking water. Many people saw it. If you don't believe me, you can go to the village to ask around. Hua Qingmei didn't go missing from my house at all."
