424 Ah Hang, after three days of absence, I look at you with new eyes.
Fu Yuanhang and Mumu modified the rescue plan overnight and changed the focus to the old branch secretary.
Fu Yuanhang listed Uncle Fu's personality traits on a piece of paper:
Greed, greed for power, lust, vanity, hypocrisy, bullying and fear of evil...it's hard to find a single advantage in them.
Mumu looked at what Fu Yuanhang wrote one by one: "I can understand everything else, but this greed is..."
Fu Yuanhang said: "Earlier, a female educated youth reported that he had abused his position to physically assault her and make unreasonable demands, but the female educated youth had no power and could not produce any substantial evidence, so the case was eventually dropped."
There is something else that Fu Yuanhang is not in a position to talk about.
When Fu Yuanhang was a child, he felt that Uncle Fu looked at Zhou Linglan strangely. Zhou Linglan was famous when she was young. Uncle Fu mentioned more than once that Fu Yuanhang's father was lucky. He went on a long journey and brought home a beautiful daughter-in-law, which made others jealous.
When Fu Yuanhang grew up and became more sensible, he realized that it was the look a naked man gave a woman, and he felt sick just thinking about it.
Fu Yuanhang never understood why Zhou Linglan would rather till the most difficult and tiring barren land than ask Uncle Fu for a fertile field.
Later he understood that Uncle Fu was waiting for Zhou Linglan to beg him for help, but unfortunately he didn't expect that a weak woman like Zhou Linglan would grit her teeth and come through.
Mumu looked angry and said, "I never thought he was such a person. Ah Hang, are you really not considering severing your relationship with him?"
Fu Yuanhang said: "We have no blood relationship with him. My brother doesn't recognize him and we don't have to deal with him normally. It's not necessary for us to bother with him. But now...
Let’s do this tomorrow, first go find the old Party Secretary…”
The two boys didn't wash up and go to bed until midnight.
No one had lived in the village for a long time, and there was nothing to eat. Fu Yuanhang and Mumu were so smart that they bought some food and canned food when they came back yesterday.
Then go exchange some vegetables and eggs with the villagers, and it won't be a problem to deal with them for a few days.
After breakfast, they quickly went to the village party secretary's house with candies and cigarettes.
The village party secretary was surprised and delighted to see them:
"Ah Hang? Mu Mu? Why are you here?"
Mumu handed over the candy and cigarettes, and explained his purpose. He shook his head as he spoke, looking particularly embarrassed:
"It's like this. I came here with Ah Hang before and had a good chat with Xiao Meizi. Xiao Meizi's grandmother even said that she wanted Xiao Meizi to be my daughter-in-law in the future.
We were all still young, so we didn't think too much about it. But later on, we kept in touch and had a good chat. The frequency of communication was also normal. But recently, Xiao Meizi seemed to be missing. She didn't reply to our letters and we had no news at all, so we thought about coming back to see what was going on.
When I came back yesterday in Uncle Niu’s car, he told me that Xiao Meizi’s grandmother had passed away, and that Xiao Meizi had gone to the city to enjoy herself?
I think this is very strange. Xiao Meizi had always depended on her grandmother and had never mentioned any relatives to go to for help. When their lives were so difficult, no relatives came to help. How could someone suddenly appear and take everyone away as soon as their grandmother passed away?
If it's really that good, then we'd be fine with following him to the city to enjoy life. But if he has ulterior motives or any other bad ideas, Ah Hang, my sister-in-law Taozi and godmother and I will not agree.
So, old Party Secretary, I'd like to trouble you to help us understand this matter clearly, so that we can explain it to Sister Taozi and the others when we return."
When the old branch secretary heard this, he was confused for a while.
When I realized what was happening, my heart skipped a beat.
He also felt that this matter was a bit strange, but by the time he found out, people from the county town had already taken Xiao Meizi away, and he was too lazy to say anything. It was better for an orphan to go to live with relatives in the city than to live alone in the village.
Fu Yuanhang secretly observed the secretary's expression and took out the letter of appointment that Su Taotao had prepared in advance:
"To be honest, Secretary, this is the employment letter from my sister-in-law's factory. She plans to hire Xiao Meizi and has already reported it to her superiors. We are back to pick her up and transfer her household registration. Please contact her."
The old Party secretary was astonished. Everyone in the village knew that Su Taotao was a "big factory manager" and they all wanted to follow her to the city to work as workers. So the first person she set her eyes on was Xiao Meizi?
"Well, I really don't have her contact information here, and I don't know where to find her." The old branch secretary said in embarrassment.
Fu Yuanhang asked: "Did you issue her certificate? How can you issue a certificate without leaving an address? By the way, has her household registration been transferred?"
The old Party branch secretary shook his head and said, "The certificate was issued by your uncle, and the household registration has not been transferred yet."
Fortunately, the household registration has not been transferred in time, otherwise it would be a lot of trouble, Fu Yuanhang thought.
He said calmly, "What I mean is that Xiao Meizi is still a member of our team, and is still under the jurisdiction of the Party Secretary, right?"
The old branch secretary was stunned. Is it his responsibility?
The old branch secretary didn't understand what Fu Yuanhang meant at once, and said with a frown:
“That’s true, but Xiao Meizi has no relatives in the village. Wouldn’t it be a good thing for her relatives in the city to come and take her away?
Besides, Xiao Meizi went with them voluntarily, so I shouldn’t have stopped her.”
Fu Yuanhang said: "Don't worry, Secretary, that's not what we meant. It's just that my sister-in-law sent us back to pick someone up. Even if we can't pick him up, we should always find him and ask him face to face before we go back to report.
I don’t want to trouble the public security comrade who came last time, mainly because I’m worried that he might have a bias against the internal management of our village, which would affect the performance evaluation of the branch secretary at the end of the year.”
I have to say that Fu Yuanhang and Mumu's combination of defense and attack is very effective.
If before this, the old branch secretary still treated them as children, now he dare not neglect them at all.
He found that the timid little boy back then had grown into a person he dared not underestimate.
In fact, Fu Yuanhang has only been away for two or three years. I really don’t know whether it is the time outside that has trained him, or whether Fu Zhengtu and his wife will teach the children well.
In short, a higher-ranking official can suppress someone to death. If the police or higher-ups are alarmed, he still has to do what he needs to do. It would be better to hand it over to someone else now so that he can still leave it in the best possible situation.
"Don't worry, Xiao Meizi's household registration is still in our village, so she is still a villager. As the village party secretary, I have the responsibility and obligation to understand the situation of every member. Let me go and ask your uncle and tell you when I come back. By the way, why don't you ask your uncle directly?"
Fu Yuanhang smiled, looked at the old branch secretary intently, and did not answer his question.
As it happened, the old branch secretary actually found the answer from Fu Yuanhang's eyes.
He waved his hands and answered himself: "Forget it, forget it. Your uncle is really... I know you don't want to deal with him, so let me do it."
Fu Yuanhang's smile always makes others feel like spring breeze. He nodded slightly:
"Excuse me, Secretary. By the way, please keep the letter of engagement from my sister-in-law to Xiao Meizi confidential. Please don't mention it to anyone for now. She doesn't want to cause any trouble. Please don't mention us to the captain either."
The old Party Secretary nodded and said, "I understand. I won't tell anyone about it. Don't worry."
The old Party secretary sighed: "Speaking of which, my good-for-nothing grandson is only one year older than Xiaomeizi, but he is not lucky enough to be a worker."
After the old branch secretary finished speaking, he looked at Fu Yuanhang calmly.
Fu Yuanhang smiled again: "Most of the workers in my sister-in-law's factory are high school graduates. If you are willing to let Brother Zhuzi leave his hometown, it won't be too late to ask my sister-in-law if the factory is still hiring after he finishes high school."
Fu Yuanhang is now very familiar with drawing cakes for others, but he has not promised anything, and no one knows what will happen in a few years.
The old branch secretary's grandson is still in junior high school. If someone asks Fu Yuanhang a few years later whether he said this, it would be normal for him not to remember it, right?
In short, the main purpose is to fool people.
The old Party Secretary was overjoyed when he heard this: "Yes, yes, that's what I told him too. If he works hard to get into high school, he'll have more opportunities to become a worker!"
The more the old branch secretary looked at Fu Yuanhang, the more he felt that he was extraordinary: "You are worthy of being Shitou's son, Ah Hang. You have changed my mind after three days of absence. Good boy, not bad, not bad. If your father knew about this, he would definitely feel very pleased."
Fu Yuanhang stopped laughing and said, "Sorry for the trouble, Secretary."
The old Party secretary said: "No trouble, no trouble, I'll go right away..."
…
Fu Yuanhang and Mumu followed the old branch secretary out.
Mumu picked a piece of dogtail grass and put it in his mouth. He walked backwards, imitating the tone of the old branch secretary and gave Fu Yuanhang a thumbs up:
"Ah Hang, you look amazing after not seeing me for three days. Good boy, not bad, not bad..."
Fu Yuanhang shook his head unhappily: "Go away."
Mumu smiled and ran to Fu Yuanhang, holding his shoulder:
"To be honest, Ah Hang, I never realized that you are more deceptive than me. In the past, when I encountered such a situation, I was the one who talked a lot while you stood by and watched without saying a word. Now the situation is reversed and I have nothing to do."
Mumu looked up at the sky and sighed, with a sad face: "It turns out that there is no master for the disciple. Ah Hang, you are better than the master. In the future, there is nothing left for me to teach you. You should start your own business."
Fu Yuanhang said unhappily, "It's not over yet, is it?"
Mumu put away her pretended sadness and said with a playful smile: "Ah Hang, I am relieved, didn't you notice?
You should be like this. You used to be too cold, too quiet, and not confident enough. It’s great to be like this now.”
Fu Yuanhang didn't think it was a good thing or a bad thing. His sister-in-law asked him to come out for "experience", so he had to hand in a "homework" that satisfied her, otherwise all her careful teaching over the years would be in vain.
As for the relationship between him and Mumu, there was no need to say anything polite. He knew very well how good Mumu was and how much influence she had on him.
Fu Yuanhang also thinks that he is pretty good now.
He put his hand on Mumu's shoulder and patted her: "Let's go, go dig some sweet potatoes from the field and roast them for lunch."
Mumu immediately drooled: "Let's make sweet potato nests. I haven't eaten them for a long time. I really want them!"
Fu Yuanhang nodded: "Alright, let's go."
