It was originally a happy event as the victims were all saved, but it was not satisfactory.
Yan Jingwen came over and went directly to the neighborhood committee to find Chang Ru. At first, Chang Ru thought that her family came to pick her up and say goodbye to her.
"Xiao Wen, are you going back home? That's a good thing. When you get home, take good care of your injuries, find a job, and start a new life. Don't think about the past."
Gu Xi poured her a cup of tea. Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, she didn't seem happy. "What's wrong? Just say it if you have something to say."
Chang Ru then realized something was wrong: "What's wrong? Is there any new trouble?"
Yan Jingwen held up the teacup and said, "Including the women from the nearby villages, we rescued a total of 22 women. All of them gave birth to children, and some gave birth to several. Now that we have returned, what should we do with the children?
Among us, only six of us had family members come to take us back. The rest of the family members were unwilling to come and even unwilling to admit that they had such a daughter, thinking it was a shame and that taking her back would affect the brothers and sisters in the family from finding relatives. They wished we were dead.”
Yan Jingwen's sadness infected everyone in the office. Gu Xi had thought about this situation, but she didn't expect it to be so serious.
"Several people can't bear the pressure anymore. One of them jumped into the river yesterday and couldn't be rescued. I don't want to die. I have finally escaped from this sea of suffering. I want to live." Yan Jingwen's eyes were full of desire and confusion.
Chang Ru really couldn't bear it, and looked at Gu Xi: "Xixi, you are smarter, please help them think of a solution."
Gu Xi felt that this question was a bit tricky: "Sister Chang Ru, do you think it's that simple? I'm not omnipotent. What can I do? At most, Uncle Xu will let them stay in Qingmiao Village. Then what? How will they live? Are they willing to farm?
The jobs at the pig farm, school, and nursing home are all full. Even if there are vacancies, let the villagers fill them first. Otherwise, it will cause trouble for yourself. We are not afraid of too little but of uneven distribution. "
They fell silent again. Gao Jinghong thought for a moment and said, "Are there any of you who have graduated from high school? I heard that the college entrance examination will be resumed. Why don't you go to college and start a new life?"
Yan Jingwen shook her head in distress. "We are six high school students, but we haven't read books since we went to the countryside, and we almost forgot everything. We have been thinking about it these past two days, but we don't have the ability. Two of them even want to go back, at least they have food to eat and won't starve to death. We can farm, we are not as weak as you think, we just lack an opportunity."
Gu Xi sighed, "Our village will soon implement the contract system. Everyone will contract the land and pay rent every year. The rest will be paid according to their work. As long as you think clearly, you will not starve to death in Qingmiao Village. Later, when other policies are opened up, we can open new factories and have opportunities to work.
This is the only plan for now. We still need to see what the policy is. But no matter what, I hope I can't go back. Haven't I been tortured enough? Being self-reliant is more important than anything else. It's better to rely on yourself than on anyone else."
No matter what, Yan Jingwen's trip today was not in vain, at least she had a place to stay.
As for the future arrangements, we'll have to listen to the village chief.
After everyone left, Chang Ru looked at Gu Xi in confusion: "Don't you usually have the most solutions? Don't you want to help them?"
Gu Xi frowned and looked at Chang Ru: "What do you mean? If you can't think of a solution, you don't want to help? You are usually a very thorough person, what's wrong with you today?"
Chang Ru looked at Gu Xi suspiciously: "I always feel that you are not as dedicated as before. We are all women, and they are so pitiful. We should help them if we can."
Gu Xi didn't say anything, but just looked at Chang Ru coldly. For a moment, Gu Xi felt it was a little strange that one day Chang Ru would blame herself.
Gao Jinghong saw that the atmosphere between the two was not right, so she immediately tried to smooth things over: "This matter is indeed difficult, and Gu Xi has helped a lot. She was afraid that the higher-ups would shirk responsibility and delay time, so she also gave the village chief some advice and presented him with a banner. Otherwise, how could these girls be rescued so quickly?"
Chang Ru realized that she was a little too hasty: "I was too anxious, but Gu Xi, you are afraid of taking responsibility, so you are keeping yourself safe. You have changed."
Gu Xi didn’t know what to say anymore. In the end, she could only smile helplessly and turn away.
Gao Jinghong watched Gu Xi leave, feeling a little worried. She looked at Chang Ru again, not knowing what to say: "Sister Chang Ru, how can you say that to her? Gu Xi is not that kind of person. She has been doing her best to help the village develop, and she has also made a lot of efforts this time, but she is not omnipotent. She always has to think about others. Why don't you think about her? She doesn't owe anyone."
Chang Ru was still sitting there with her head down, and Gao Jinghong sighed helplessly.
After Gu Xi returned, she went straight into the room. Wang Xu noticed that something was wrong with her and quickly followed her in: "What's wrong? Who provoked you? You look so angry."
Gu Xi lay weakly on the bed and told what happened: "I didn't expect that one day Sister Chang Ru would say this to me. I really don't know how to help. The people have been rescued and Qingmiao Village is willing to accept them. As for their final fate, it depends on how Uncle Xu plans it and their own choices. What else can I do? I will leave here soon. If there is anything in Qingmiao Village in the future, do I have to be there at any time?
It has become my responsibility, and I cannot bear this responsibility."
Wang Xu patted Gu Xi and said, "Sister Chang Ru had a younger sister who was abducted, so she especially sympathizes with these girls. She always fantasizes that her sister can live a good life.
As for you, no one said it was your responsibility, it was your own understanding. What you said was wrong, no one thought it was your responsibility, they just wanted to hear your opinion when something happened, I think you have been passive recently, I hope everyone can get better and better after I go back, so let them be independent, but not suddenly independent, give them time and opportunity to grow and adapt. "
Gu Xi buried her head and snorted: "You are the best and most sober. I want to resign. I don't want to work in the neighborhood committee anymore. I want to review seriously. If there is no salary, you support me. I won't farm."
Wang Xu took the quilt and covered her with it: "Go to sleep and calm down first. No one ever asks you to go to work. You said it was all your hobbies. I think Sister Chang Ru is wrong about this matter. You are a little sensitive. You have been absent-minded recently. I am worried that you will regret getting married next time."
Gu Xi chuckled: "If you regret it, you can let me go? The greatest love you can give me is to let go of your hand."
Wang Xu slapped her on the buttocks. Even through the quilt, he could feel the force but it didn't hurt. "It's impossible to let go. I said, I'm a widow."
While the two were talking, Gu Xi fell asleep. Xu Zhengrong knew about the conflict between Chang Ru and Gu Xi, and came over to mediate. Wang Xu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Uncle Xu. Gu Xi didn't take it to heart. I just told her about Chang Ru's sister and sister. She can understand.
But she hasn't been to the neighborhood committee recently. On the one hand, she is reviewing seriously, and on the other hand, she needs to adjust her mentality. It is said that the college entrance examination will be resumed at the end of the year, and she estimates that the time is getting closer and closer. She is probably reluctant to leave and is a little anxious. She is worried that she will not be able to give advice to everyone, and she is worried that her departure will affect everyone and make them live a bad life.
Uncle Xu, collect the information of those who participated in the college entrance examination and be prepared for their return at any time, especially those teachers in the school, what should we do if they leave suddenly. "
Xu Zhengrong has actually been having a headache over this issue: "Ah, I'm so worried. Gu Xi and you are leaving, and I feel empty inside. I'm more anxious than you guys. Look, I've become bald recently."
