Of course, those who have family members working in the Mengli Garment Factory did not get involved in this matter, but there were many people who came to watch the fun.
Su Li didn't care about Grandma Miao's shouting and the rumors in the villagers' mouths. She was not a person who lived in other people's mouths. Besides, she and Xie Zhengchuan had already left Shanghe Village. She didn't care what they said. However, her parents-in-law still lived in the village. She couldn't take these two people to the police station directly. She had to make it clear in front of everyone.
Isn't it just crying? Who wouldn't cry like that? "Wuwuwu...Uncle Waishan, it's not our family who intentionally came to beat them up, so I'll let it go. But what kind of person is Zhengchuan? Don't you all know? Besides, we live well in the county town and are very busy. Why did we run all the way back to the village to beat up these two beasts? Haven't you ever thought about it?"
Su Li's words quickly aroused everyone's suspicion. Yes, who is Xie Zhengchuan? They watched him grow up. This child is filial, upright, responsible, and kind.
To force such a person to come to someone's house and beat someone up, they must have done something that touched Xie Zhengchuan's bottom line.
There are also Zhengyang and Zhenghe. These two children are also good children. During the time when Zhenghe was the village chief, he not only tried to help everyone increase their income and production, but also bought fertilizers from the provincial capital to fertilize the land. Some time ago, he and the strong laborers in the village built an earthen kiln, saying that it could burn red bricks.
Such a big happy event made the people of Shanghe Village happy for a long time. If this stuff could really be burned into red bricks, not only would every family be able to live in a big red brick and tile house in the future, but they would also be able to earn a lot of money throughout the year.
If it's not the Xie family's fault, then it's Xie Sanwan and Qian Maizi's fault. But what did these two do to force people back to the village from the county town and come to beat them up?
Qian Maizi saw that everyone's eyes were not right. She wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve and struggled to get up from the ground.
"What the hell are you talking about, you little bitch? You did it on purpose. You came here to bully us because you encountered something unpleasant. Didn't you just see that we are poor? Your family is so capable. You own a factory and a store. There is no other family in our village that is as successful as yours. What's the matter? Do you want to be the local emperor of our Shanghe Village and come here to beat up anyone you don't like?"
Qian Maizi looked very miserable now. Her hoarse voice as she spoke these divisive words did shake some people.
Su Li didn't care what these people thought. She listened to Qian Maizi's obviously green tea words without getting angry. She just covered her mouth and tears fell down.
"Uncle Waishan, listen to what you say, folks. Is this human language? Don't you know what kind of family we are? Although my eldest brother is the village chief, you can see that he works for the village day and night. What is he doing this for? If he wants to make money, his orchard will bear fruit in two years, and he can still make money. He puts aside his own affairs and spends most of his time for the village.
My brother deals with pigs every day. At the end of every year, the meat from his pigs is cheaper than that from other places. He works hard all year long, so if he wants to make money, why not sell it outside?
My two sisters-in-law work hard at home. Have they ever complained? How do they treat the people in the village? Anyone with a heart knows. My clothing factory gives priority to people from the village so that they can have a stable job. For those who work in my factory, you can also go home and ask how the factory treats them. What Qian Maizi said today is really heartbreaking!"
Qian Maizi was just an old rural woman after all. It was remarkable that she could say those words just now. How could she be as emotional as Su Li? Su Li was choked and speechless for a moment.
Grandma Miao is a person who is used to throwing tantrums, but now she doesn’t know where to start.
Xie Zhenghe, Xie's father and Xie Zhengchuan didn't show any change in expression, but Xie Zhengyang lowered his head. He was fine, just a little embarrassed that he was not as good as the third son's wife said. He just wanted to make money, not other places, he just didn't know anyone.
Su Li looked at everyone who was thinking about it and continued, "Why did our family come to beat them? These two bastards lied to my Hu Zi yesterday and said that he missed Li Dan and knew he was wrong. The kid was soft-hearted and called Li Dan out. Li Dan is a child who lacks love. That child doesn't want to be with his own mother. Although these two bastards hurt him in the beginning, Li Dan softened his heart when he saw Qian Maizi kneeling on the ground and talking about himself. After all, he is still a child under eight years old. He doesn't know what a sinister human heart is. But these two people..."
"Su Li, you're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense, we didn't do that, we were at home all day yesterday, we didn't go to the county town, we didn't go there."
Qian Maizi and Xie Sanwan looked at Su Li with eyes full of vigilance and cruelty. They were both well-known bullies in the village and they showed such expressions in front of so many people that everyone was stunned and couldn't believe it.
Su Li ignored her shouting. Anyway, they couldn't hit her and followed her. "After these two tricked the child out, they knocked him out and sold Li Dan for a few hundred yuan. They threw the child at others and ran away."
"You are talking nonsense. We don't have any evidence. What evidence do you have? You are just slandering us. Do you think you have the final say in everything? Whatever you say is the truth."
"Of course we have evidence. Do you think he was just a simple human trafficker? He is a wanted criminal with a murder on his hands. What did he buy Li Dan for? He wanted to kill him, do you know that?"
When Xie Sanwan and Qian Maizi heard Su Li say that the man was a wanted criminal, their faces suddenly turned grim and they panicked for a moment. They really thought that he was a human trafficker, and it was none of their business whether he bought a person and sold him or did something else with him, and they didn't want to care either.
Su Li sneered and said, "That man has been arrested. You guys just wait for jail time!"
The people around them then realized what the two people had done. The first few people were still talking about Su Li, and those who were trying to persuade her immediately glared at Qian Maizi fiercely. Are these people really human beings? They actually want to sell their own child. Now they say that the child is raised by Su Li. Su Li's family is wealthy, and the child will have a lot of money when he grows up.
If she had endured it for a few years and then came to the door to admit her mistakes, how could she have lived a good life in the second half of her life? She was really confused. For a little bit of money, she got herself into trouble. Bah! She deserved it.
After listening to the whole story, Li Waishan began to look at the two people with hatred. Everyone started to curse Qian Maizi and his wife, and even Grandma Miao lowered her head and kept silent.
Xie Zhenghe spoke at the right time: "Everyone knows that Uncle Waishan, I and other village cadres are working on the brick kiln. Everyone has a share in the brick kiln. Every family contributes money and can share the money next year. The brick kiln and the shareholding and profit sharing were all proposed by the third daughter-in-law. She was afraid that she and Zhengchuan would leave the village. If the brown sugar dividends were gone in the future, everyone would still have an income. At least every family can have enough food. I didn't expect that my family really cares about the village. The villagers still think of us this way. I think I'd better not be the village chief. Uncle Waishan, you should find someone else to be the village chief!"
Everyone was ashamed of what Xie Zhenghe said. Only then did they understand the Xie family's intentions. Xie Zhenghe's decision not to be the village chief had stirred up a hornet's nest. How could this be possible?
Everyone began to comfort him. The idea of Xie Zhenghe not to be the village chief was originally proposed by Qian Maizi and Xie Sanwan. But now that Xie Zhenghe said it, everyone persuaded him to continue to be the village chief. This was obviously not what the two expected.
Before everyone here finished consoling them, Wang Lei brought several police officers to Xie Sanwan's home and took the two men away in front of everyone. Because the two men were badly beaten, everyone in Xie's family, including Xie Zhengchuan, had to go to the police station before they could get back.
Xie Zhengchuan and Su Li had no objections and cooperated very well.
After they all left, the people of Shanghe Village began to surround Li Waishan and told him that they must not let Xie Zhenghe resign, otherwise they might not get the annual dividends from the brick kiln. If the new village chief was unwilling to give them a share, they could not do anything about it. Li Waishan was annoyed by the noise and cursed.
"You are so anxious now. Why didn't you do anything earlier? Don't you know what kind of people Zhenghe and Zhengchuan are? Why are you joining in the fun? I can't persuade you anymore. Wait until the people from the Xie family come back, and you can do whatever you want!"
Without waiting for everyone to say anything, Li Waishan hurriedly left Xie Sanwan's house.
