After hearing Huang Xiwang's description, the police roughly understood the cause of the incident.
But in this kind of case, there are many people involved, and the most it can be is indirect damage.
It is really difficult to inflict any substantial harm on the so-called murderer.
Because they neither used their hands nor their mouths, if you say they broke into the house to rob, they only stole some wild vegetables.
So it is very difficult to handle.
Although we cannot put them in jail, we can still catch them and scare them.
As a result, the police rushed out and brought the village chief over, under the pretext of cooperating with the investigation.
When the village chief was taken away, the whole village was in an uproar, and everyone speculated what crime he had committed.
By the evening, the discussion had even selected the next village chief, and all that was left was to wait for the original village chief to return and take over.
The village chief and the two villagers were educated at the Public Security Bureau for an entire afternoon and were already scared like quails.
They just wanted to take advantage of him, but who knew that Huang Xiwang's mother was so disappointing that she died in an instant.
How can we blame them? They even helped bury the body. Even if they didn't contribute any credit, they still worked hard.
But he just thought about it in his mind, nodded in agreement on the surface, and promised that he would never dare to disturb Huang Xiwang again.
The village chief returned to the village and before he had time to drink a sip of water, he was told to give up his position as village chief. He was so angry that he started cursing.
"Old Huang, you think you can be the village chief? You're dreaming! Let me tell you why I went to town today.
That's because that little bastard sued you, saying that you killed his mother.
I tried hard to explain to you at the Public Security Bureau, and this is how you treated me.
Let’s be honest, who in our village hasn’t been to his house?
If I had known you were such an ungrateful bunch, I would have just reported your names. There's no need to explain, what's the point of that?" The village chief pointed at Huang Laogou and started scolding him.
The scolding made the other villagers feel guilty.
In the past, they saw that other people had taken advantage of Huang Xiwang’s house, so wouldn’t they be at a loss if they didn’t take anything?
So, no matter what, there is really no clean one.
"Village Chief, calm down. I'm telling you, I'm absolutely on your side.
They are all Huang Laogou, who spread rumors that you made a mistake and were arrested by the police and will never come back.
He also said that his son was a temporary worker in town and was well-informed, and would be able to lead our village to a bright future in the future.
We were just deceived for a moment, so calm down, calm down." A lackey from the village quickly stepped forward to express his loyalty.
"That's right, village chief. It was Old Huang who misled us."
"Yes, village chief, we are loyal to you."
"Yes, yes, you are the only village chief we recognize."
Huang Laogou: Damn it, I’m in a state of disrepute here and there. Who just said that he has the bearing of a general and is suitable to be the village chief?
Who said I am more suitable to be the village chief than this bastard?
Huang Laogou: "Village chief, don't listen to their nonsense.
I told them I didn't want to be the village chief, but they insisted that I take over the position.
Who else can be the village chief besides you? Don't be fooled by the fact that I seem to have agreed to their request. I am actually just deceiving them.
I'm going to return the position of village chief to you when you come back."
Huang Laogou quickly stepped forward to explain that his whole family was in the village, and if the village chief held a grudge and made things difficult for them, their lives would be difficult in the future.
"Alright, alright, let's all go. I'm not such a petty person.
This time you just have to remember not to go to that brat’s workplace to cause trouble.
If anyone gets caught looking for trouble, you can handle it on your own. I won't be interceding for you anymore." The village chief waved his hand, signaling the crowd to disperse.
Although he didn't say it explicitly when I went to cause trouble this time, he definitely supported it secretly.
If he could be brought down, his son would be able to take his place.
Since I can't do it now, forget it. I'll just stay at home and farm.
Huang Xiwang was unaware of the entire farce, but he knew that reporting it to the police would be useless.
I just wanted to warn them that from now on, I would no longer be that poor little thing that could be bullied by others.
Looking at the new clothes on myself and the new quilt on the bed.
Although the sister said that these were her brother's old clothes, they were no different from new clothes.
Not only was there not a single piece of pudding on the clothes, but they were also spotlessly clean without even a single ripped edge.
The quilt was also made of soft new cotton, completely different from the hard black cotton I had covered myself with before.
What did I do on rainy days? I worked barefoot in the mud, and after finishing my work I had to go up the mountain to find food.
Now, I can work in a clean environment and live in a place that is no longer muddy.
Although there are four people in a room now, the other three are also bachelors.
Not only does he not take advantage of me at every turn, but he also takes good care of me because I am young.
The care from strangers was too rare for Huang Xiwang, he had never felt it before.
Since he met the kind sister, his life has changed dramatically.
Because of the abundant rainfall this year, the rice is growing quite well.
Seeing the crops growing well in the fields, everyone took more careful care of them, as they were life-saving crops.
Missing one will be heartbreaking.
Under everyone's careful care, the seedlings slowly grew up and turned yellow.
We all went to the fields three times a day, hoping the sun would shine brightly for a while.
After all, the fields are muddy now, which is not very friendly for harvesting crops, and the rice will easily become moldy if it is too wet.
As if the prayers in everyone's hearts were heard, the weather gradually cleared up and the scorching sun slowly rose.
The soil in the ground loses moisture after a day. As long as it is exposed to the sun for a few more days, this year's harvest will be guaranteed.
"Do you think the weather this year is too strange? I always feel uneasy." The village chief and Mr. Jin sat at home and said to each other while looking at the big sun outside.
"Has the weather ever been normal in the past two years?" said Mr. Jin.
"No, organize people and start harvesting wheat tomorrow. I will always feel uneasy if the grain is not harvested." said the village chief.
"If you harvest now, the yield will be reduced by at least 20%." Some people may not be happy about the idea that the harvest can be increased by 20% by drying the crops for a few more days.
"It doesn't matter, it's okay if it's 20% less." So the village chief gathered everyone and notified them to start harvesting wheat tomorrow.
Sure enough, the crowd was talking about it, and no one understood the village chief's approach.
However, due to everyone's respect for the village chief and the unity of the village over the years, everyone started preparing for the harvest.
"You go and inform the people in Xiaohulu Village and just tell them about our village's decision. For the rest, let them make their own decisions." The village chief said to someone.
The man nodded and left.
