Yu Xiangnian simply recounted Cheng Jingmo's past events briefly, and everyone present felt a mixture of sympathy and resentment after hearing it.
Since the township and village are required to testify, the township head naturally has to seek the opinions of the villagers as a procedural matter.
"Village chief, you understand the situation, please tell us your opinion."
The village chief was about forty years old and a local, so he knew about 70% of Cheng Jingmo's affairs.
The village chief said, "Here, an adult's annual income is only about 100 yuan. Cheng Jingmo sent over 3,500 yuan home, which is 35 years' income. The Cheng family raised him for 17 years, and not a single 20 yuan was spent on him. He paid it back a hundredfold."
The township head said, "If the village thinks it's okay, then let's settle this matter today."
The people of the Cheng family were like castrated roosters at this time. They no longer had the roaring momentum they had just now, and they sat on the stools as if their mouths were sealed.
Especially Mu Huanzhen, whose face was pale.
They knew this time it was all over.
This family can never count on Cheng Jingmo again!
The village chief and Yu Xiangnian discussed the terms of the agreement.
Commander Yang glanced at Cheng Jingmo who was sitting next to him. Although he was sitting upright, he had his eyes downcast, as if he had no soul. He was completely different from the man who was fighting wits and courage with others on the field.
On the one hand, he must have felt uncomfortable because the painful past events were revealed in front of everyone, and on the other hand, he must have felt extremely desperate about this family.
The atmosphere was somewhat subdued, and Commander Yang spoke at the right moment, "Gratitude cannot be measured by money! If I hadn't heard what happened just now, I would have shot Cheng Jingmo if he had said anything about severing ties with you."
"But your family!" he sighed. "From the beginning to the end, you never treated him as a human being. You just treated him as a tool to be used. When he was useful, you held on to him tightly, and when he was no longer useful, you threw him away. You have nothing to complain about. If you have to blame someone, blame yourselves for doing a terrible job!"
Yu Xiangnian had already drafted the agreement, and she also noticed that Cheng Jingmo was in a low mood.
Could it be that he was too embarrassed to face the fact that his past deeds had been told in front of everyone?
But this is the best solution at the moment.
We must take a tough approach with this family and cut off all ties with them legally, otherwise we don't know when they will cause trouble again.
Cheng Huazi signed his name tremblingly. The village chief and township head signed and stamped the agreement.
This agreement is legally binding, and Cheng Jingmo has no further connection with the Cheng family since then.
Yu Xiangnian looked at Cheng Shuansuo with a dim gaze.
"Village head, I want to report a person, Cheng Shuansuo, to the township government. He violently prevented Cheng Jingmo from returning to the army to serve."
"Oh?" The village chief looked at the people in the Cheng family and asked, "Which one is Cheng Shuansuo?"
Cheng Shuansuo, who was sitting on the stool, was startled at first, then he shrank his neck, wishing he could shrink into the stool.
He looked at Cheng Shuanzhu with a look of help, but Cheng Shuanzhu looked away.
How could he save him?
I told you before that this couple is not easy to deal with, but you just won’t listen!
Cheng Jingmo stood up and said, "Nian Nian, forget it, let's go."
As soon as Commander Yang stood up, everyone stood up and prepared to leave.
Commander Yang said, "Take my car. I'll give you a ride."
"Thank you, Uncle Yang." Yu Xiangnian said bluntly.
Cheng Jingmo picked up his luggage and without even looking at the Cheng family, the group walked out of the Cheng family.
Cheng Shuanzhu reacted belatedly and chased after the guest to see him off.
Other members of the Cheng family also followed out one after another.
Cheng Jingmo, Yu Xiangnian and Xiaojie had already boarded a green military jeep.
There were three jeeps in total, the other two were gray.
The three cars drove away in a cloud of dust, leaving behind a group of villagers watching the fun.
Cheng Shuan's gaze continued to follow the green jeep. "Village Chief, what rank of leader do you think Commander Yang is?"
The village chief scratched his head and thought, "A little lower than the provincial governor."
Cheng Shuanzhu was filled with regret. "So, the father-in-law of Brother Jianwa is also a little lower than the governor?"
The villagers who were watching the fun counted on their fingers from the village head, township head to the provincial governor.
They all said, "This picked-up kid is so lucky to have found the daughter of such a high-ranking official as his wife!"
"No wonder his wife looks so noble at first glance."
"Yes, noble, righteous, and cultured!"
The village chief turned his head and noticed Mu Huanzhen, and asked dissatisfiedly, "What's the matter with you guys today?"
No one in the Cheng family spoke.
The village chief said angrily, "Cheng Shuanzhu, you're a team leader, but you don't have any awareness! Your mother made such a fuss and threatened to die, wasn't she just trying to drive them away? The guests were already in the house, and she was still making a fuss! You didn't even bother to stop your mother?"
Cheng Shuanzhu was so scolded that he had nothing to say.
The Cheng family is regretting it so much at this moment!
The village chief added, "You treated Cheng Jingmo like this before, but he didn't care. He gave you so much money over the years! He came back with his wife and children, and what did you do? You can't make them so angry that they cut off all ties with you!"
The family still didn't speak.
The village chief pointed at them and said, "You did it! You did this all by yourselves!"
Cheng Huazi's hands trembled as he held the agreement. "Village chief, please help us think of a solution. We can even kowtow and apologize to the kid who picked us up!"
The village chief glanced at him and said, "What can I do? The agreement is here! Besides, when he left, he didn't even bother to look at you. He must be completely heartbroken! You better be frugal in your future lives!"
The village chief also walked away.
When the villagers who were watching the fun heard that Cheng Jingmo had severed ties with the Cheng family, they became even more excited to watch the fun.
"Based on the way you treated the picked-up kids before, you should have stopped doing this long ago!"
"They came back this time with special supplies for you, and you didn't even bother to kill a chicken for them to eat!"
"It wasn't my fault! I heard the third son's wife had a fight with the daughter-in-law who picked up the baby!"
In the past, if someone said this to them, Mu Huanzhen and Zhang Hongli would definitely stand up and argue with them.
But now, the whole family is depressed.
With drooped shoulders and hung heads, they returned home one by one. The whole family was so angry that they didn't even have lunch.
Yu Xiangnian and the others got in the car, and Cheng Jingmo also pulled himself away from what had just happened.
"Commander Yang, I'm sorry to bother you today."
Commander Yang waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. You should think about how to explain this to Commander Yu!"
"Yes." Cheng Jingmo had thought of it long ago. Yu Jiashun knew that Yu Xiangnian was wronged, so he specially asked someone to come and support him.
The car drove all the way to Pingxian County, and it was almost dark.
Everyone decided to stay in the county town for one night and go to Sucheng tomorrow morning.
