Qi Qingmei supported Zhu Yinling's arm and helped her into her yard.
The two police officers looked at Zhu Yinling and stood up.
One of the police officers asked, "Are you Comrade Zhu Yinling?"
"Yes." Zhu Yinling was so scared that she usually had a loud voice, but now her voice was so low that even Qi Qingmei who was standing next to her couldn't hear it clearly.
Qi Qingmei smiled and said to the two police officers, "Comrade, my aunt is timid. This is her first time meeting a government official, and she was a little scared."
"Are you her niece?" asked the police officer who had just asked the question.
"She is my daughter." Qi Fusheng said first, "My daughter is popular and has good relationships with the aunts and grandmas in the village. When she saw Zhu Yinling was so scared, she was comforting her."
Zhu Yinling's mouth twitched.
Why is Qi Qingmei so popular? Doesn’t Qi Fusheng know it? It’s all because of him, otherwise no one would care about Qi Qingmei.
Her eyes were on top of her head, and she looked like someone from Taoyuan Village, as if she came from the city.
The police officer looked at Qi Qingmei with appreciation, "Thank you for your hard work, comrade!"
"It's not hard. This is what I should do." Qi Qingmei smiled, helped Zhu Yinling to sit down, and poured her a glass of water and put it in her hand.
With his back to the crowd, he looked at her warningly, "Aunt Zhu, don't be afraid, just say whatever you want to say. These two comrades are obviously good people, so don't be afraid of saying the wrong thing, and don't be nervous."
"This young comrade is right. Don't be afraid of saying the wrong thing. We are just here to ask a question."
In order to show that they were close to the people and were good people, the two policemen softened their expressions and tried to look more friendly.
The warmth from the cup in her hand was transferred to her hand. Zhu Yinling raised the cup and took a sip of water, then was stunned.
It was actually sugar water.
She subconsciously looked at Qi Qingmei.
Qi Qingmei smiled at Zhu Yinling and said, "Aunt, don't be afraid. My father and I are here."
"Comrade, we are just here to ask you a question, just tell us the truth."
One of the public security officers opened his notebook and took notes with a pen in his hand.
Another police officer looked at Zhu Yinling and asked, "Comrade, did you see Comrade Shen Qinghe and the educated youth Jiang Xiaohui being dragged into the woods by a few thugs yesterday?"
"Aunt, look at what you said, how could I tell anyone?
As long as you don't tell anyone what I told you to do, I won't tell anyone about your affairs either."
Qi Qingmei's words echoed in my ears.
Zhu Yinling looked at the police officer who was questioning her and said, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, and then I ran back to the village to report to the village chief."
"Fortunately, you spoke in time, so no greater harm was caused." said the public security officer.
Zhu Yinling imitated what Qi Qingmei had just said, "This is what I should do."
The two public security officers looked at each other. The woman in front of them looked like an honest person, and her face turned pale when she saw them.
Now that you have found out the truth, just leave. If you stay any longer, you will scare people to death.
After the two policemen left, Zhu Yinling sat down on the ground with a thud again.
The teacup in the water almost fell to the ground. She protected it with her hands, raised it to her mouth and drank a big sip of sugar water. Only then did she feel less panicked.
"Aunt, what you said just now was very good." Qi Qingmei helped Zhu Yinling up and glanced at Qi Fusheng who was seeing off the two police officers.
He whispered in Zhu Yinling's ear, "Your business, my business, are all rotten in my stomach today."
"Yeah." Zhu Yinling didn't know what to say except nodding.
Qi Fusheng came back and said to Zhu Yinling, "Okay, it's alright, go back to work."
Zhu Yinling picked up the teacup and drank all the sugar water in it in one breath before going to work.
"Qingmei, why are you so concerned about Zhu Yinling's affairs?" Qi Fusheng felt that his daughter was a little strange today.
She has never been so hospitable to guests at home.
Qi Qingmei glanced at Qi Fusheng and sighed, "This is about Brother Xiaohui, how can I not worry about it?"
Qi Fusheng, "..."
At this moment, there was a loud thunder above his head, which scared Qi Fusheng.
He hurriedly said to Qi Qingmei, "It's going to rain soon, don't run around and stay inside."
After saying that, Qi Fusheng ran towards the canal.
Halfway through the run, bean-sized raindrops began to fall down with a crackling sound. Soon the raindrops became bigger and heavier.
Qi Fusheng was old and was running out of breath.
As he ran, he thought, "I hope the heads of other villages will know the importance of this as he did, and have the villagers work hard to repair the canal. If the upstream village fails to repair the canal and the canal bank is washed away by the water, the consequences will be disastrous."
As soon as I ran to the canal, I heard a loud noisy sound and the rain got heavier.
Qi Fusheng reached out to wipe the rain off his face, then he could see the situation clearly and was shocked.
The water from upstream was seen rushing down as if a floodgate had been opened. The water flowed so fast that the people who were repairing the canal were forced to retreat to both sides.
Qi Fusheng walked over, his feet slipped, and he almost fell into the ditch. A pair of strong hands grabbed his arms.
He turned around and saw that it was Jiang Jianguo.
He said gratefully, "Thank you, brother."
If Jiang Jianguo hadn't grabbed him just now, he would have been washed away by the flood.
"We are all from the same village, there is no need to thank me, especially since we were classmates when we were kids." However, after Qi Fusheng became the village chief, he no longer recognized him as a classmate, fearing that Qi Fusheng would ask him for favors.
When Jiang Jianguo saw that Qi Fusheng had stood firm, he let go of his hand.
Qi Fusheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.
Standing on a high place, with his hands in the shape of trumpets, placed beside his mouth, he shouted to the opposite side, "Everyone go uphill, be careful that the water will wash you away."
The sounds of rain, human voices, and flowing water mixed together, and there was a buzzing sound in my ears.
Qi Fusheng didn’t know whether the person on the other side heard him clearly, so he could only shout over and over again.
He saw someone stepping back, apparently he understood what he said, and then he stopped shouting.
Qi Fusheng asked the older ones to go back and left the younger ones to watch the situation. If the water level was low, they would have to block the collapsed canal bank.
The people on the other side can't get over, and can only wait until the water level decreases.
The rain lasted for more than two hours before it stopped. It was broad daylight, but now it looked like dark.
After the rain stopped, the water flow slowed down.
The people on the opposite side rolled up their trousers and slowly moved over in the mud.
After everyone came over, Qi Fusheng said loudly, "Look for people in your own rooms to see if anyone is missing."
He called a few young men back to the village to count the heads and bring a few more angry ones over.
It was so dark now that I couldn't even see anyone.
"Village Chief Qi, Jiang Zhiqing is missing!" Fu Luanqing said to Qi Fusheng with a pale face, "Jiang Zhiqing was standing next to me just now, but now he is gone."
Qi Fusheng glanced at Fu Luanqing, a good young man in the village.
The kids also like this teacher.
For Qingmei's happiness, he had to let Jiang Xiaohui replace his teacher.
He hasn't found a good opportunity for this yet, but that won't change.
