After seeing off the village chief, Gu Xi turned her head and said, "Lin Ling, I have something to ask of you."
Lin Ling looked puzzled: "What's the matter?"
Gu Xi approached with a mysterious look on her face: "Go and find out for me who in this village loves to pass on messages and has good relationships with others."
Lin Ling: "Why are you asking this?"
Gu Xi: "Of course I'm helping with publicity. I'm sending some dumplings to them, building a closer relationship, and helping to speak up for them. I'm helping Wang Xu improve his reputation, and then I'm promoting the evil deeds of these scoundrels."
After listening to this, Lin Ling looked at Gu Xi and then at Wang Xu: "Why are you so concerned about him? Don't lose control!"
Gu Xi had finished explaining, and ignored Lin Ling's gossip. She took the money and walked back. She sat on the table and counted the money like a money-grubber, then handed it to Wang Xu: "Here, half for each of you."
Wang Xu didn't even raise his eyes and continued to make dumplings: "I don't want any, I'll give them all to you."
Gu Xi also insisted: "No, brothers should settle accounts clearly. We agreed to pay half each."
Wang Xu was silent for a moment: "Okay, then you take out 50, and from now on, all the food you buy, as long as we eat together, we will each share half."
Gu Xi readily agreed. Before traveling through time, she and her friends always went on a AA basis, which was the best way.
"Then these furniture are all for my use. Just consider them as offsets for the food. Let's start calculating from tomorrow. You should quickly collect the money. It's a huge sum."
Wang Xu took the money to the room and didn’t know where he put it. After coming out, he washed his hands and continued making dumplings.
Gu Xi also went back to her room, hid the money in the cabinet and locked it.
She sat back at the table, but did not continue making dumplings. Instead, she held her face and watched Wang Xu make them.
His movements were quick, just like his style, clean and neat, with no unnecessary movements. As I was watching, I felt a little sleepy because I had just finished lunch, and my head was nodding.
Wang Xu looked at her for a while and said, "If you feel sleepy, go back to your room and take a nap."
Gu Xi opened her eyes: "I feel like I really just sleep and eat, and then eat and sleep, just like a pig."
Wang Xu smiled and said, "You are quite self-aware. By the way, I am going into the mountains tonight. Please lock the door after I leave."
When Gu Xi heard about going into the mountains, she was no longer sleepy: "Is it dangerous to go into the mountains? When can you take me to have a look? I'm a little curious."
Wang Xu was used to it: "I'll take you there during the day in the next few days. It's more dangerous at night."
After the villagers finished work and went home to cook, Gu Xi and Lin Ling took a bamboo basket filled with cooked dumplings and fruit candies and went out to "visit relatives and friends."
The first stop was the village chief's house. The whole family was there, including Li Tong. Gu Xi served the dumplings: "Uncle, aunt."
Several people were shocked to see the bruises on Gu Xi's face. The village head's wife felt pained when she saw it: "Your face, could it be that Wang Xu's ball hit you?"
This was exactly the purpose of Gu Xi's coming: "It wasn't Wang Xu who beat me, it was Wang Xu's father and stepmother. I bought some food and went home yesterday, and the stepmother's naughty kid came to grab the food and ruined my bag of egg cakes, which cost several dollars. Wang Xu just spanked the naughty kid and threw him back.
Who would have known that behind every naughty kid there is an unreasonable parent who would bring eight ferocious thugs to the house to beat people up, not only with sticks but also with knives. This is intentional homicide.
Fortunately, the village chief arrived in time, otherwise I would have died. I am so innocent. I have only been here for one day and I don’t know when my face will heal.
He was so cruel to me, a person he had only met for one day. No wonder Wang Xu looked so fierce. He was forced into it. If he wasn't fierce, the grass on his grave would be three meters high.
Wang Xu made dumplings today, and asked me to thank the village chief for saving my life. "
Everyone was shocked after hearing this. There were actually people in the village who would pull out knives over a disagreement.
The village chief's daughter, Xu Jiajia, quickly grabbed her cousin Xu Jiao's hand and said, "We have to be careful when we go out next time. How come the atmosphere in the village has become like this? Gu Zhiqing has such a pretty face, but she was beaten like this. It's terrible. I have to let my brother pick us up next time."
Xu Jiao looked at Gu Xi's face and felt scared when she heard the whole process: "Uncle, it's not easy to be the village chief. Don't rush to my house if you don't agree with me one day. What can I do? I have to look carefully before I open the door in the future."
Gu Xi added fuel to the fire: "Hey, the door to our yard was closed tightly, but it was kicked open, and the house was in a mess. I went to Uncle Zhao's house to buy ready-made furniture last night, and I have to bear all these losses myself."
Xu Zhengrong listened at the side and didn't dare to refute. Isn't one thousand six hundred yuan enough to buy furniture? Several families even took out their coffin books.
The village chief's wife was also worried: "Old Xu, you have to find a way to solve this problem. If someone dies one day, it will be too late."
Xu Zhengrong was speechless for a moment: "It was just an ordinary dispute between neighbors that escalated into a fight. How could it be so horrible?"
Gu Xi immediately spoke up: "Uncle, most murders start with small conflicts, and the resentment deepens before a big problem occurs. If the leader who solves the problem does not pay attention or takes sides, the problem will be aggravated, resulting in irreversible consequences.
We should prevent problems and resolve them instead of trying to smooth them over or cover them up. "
Xu Jiao nodded: "When I was at work, I heard the aunts chatting about a family massacre in Fenjin Village. The cause was a quarrel between neighbors. They said that the child next door was noisy every day, affecting the rest of the elderly at home. The other family spoiled the child and insulted the affected family for not being able to give birth to a son.
As time went by, the conflict became bigger and bigger, and the family that gave birth to the son became more and more arrogant. The old neighbor could no longer tolerate it, so one day, while everyone was at work, he took an axe and killed everyone at home next door. Except for the man who was working in the fields, the whole family died. The man went to fight the old man, and in the end they both died. "
Lin Ling listened fascinatedly: "This old man is quite powerful, and his body is really strong. He killed the whole family, even the middle-aged ones, and died together. If he hadn't been killed, he would have been a legendary figure."
Other people. . . . . .
Is this how you understand it?
Xu Zhengrong couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "What you said does make sense, but conflicts between neighbors are inevitable, and we can't just watch them every day. Village cadres also have their own things to do."
Gu Xi had already thought about it: "This matter is difficult and easy. Village chief, I have a plan."
Xu Zhengrong felt that he had fallen into this girl's trap. Now he could only listen: "Tell me what you want to say."
Gu Xi slapped Xu Jiasheng away and sat down: "The village can set up a new department to specifically resolve conflicts of all sizes in the village, called the neighborhood committee. For example, it can mediate disputes in the village, conduct daily comprehensive management, regularly publicize good people and good deeds in the village and praise and reward them, understand and solve the sufferings of the villagers, such as the living difficulties of the elderly, orphans and widows, and the problems of children going to school, etc.
This department is composed of at least five or six people. They must have prestige, be fair and just, have correct values, and have certain working abilities. Of course, the main responsible persons are still the village head and the secretary. "
