Chapter 264: Another confrontation with Wei Sanqiu, completely curing his arrogance and roguery
When we arrived at Secretary Wei's home, it was surrounded by people three layers deep inside and three layers deep outside. Their looks were complex: expectant, wary, and even flattering.
Mayor Tian and Party Secretary Wei greeted us at the door. Once inside, I winked at Mr. Chen. He clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, sit down. Let's discuss this together."
The four branch secretaries sat down, and Mayor Tian said, "If you have any requests, please raise them with General Manager Chen in person."
The Party Secretary of Pijia Village stood up and said, "I have only one request: Xu Ri should not leave."
Mr. Chen said gloomily, "But you can't say you want to stop the work one day and then say you want to contract it tomorrow. We have our own demands, and you can't have the final say."
The Party Secretary of Pijia Village said, "We don't have any demands. If anyone has selfish motives and wants to obstruct the work, if Weijia Village doesn't come, our three villages will come and beat up anyone who puts up any resistance without a word."
Mr. Chen smiled and said, "As long as you have this attitude, I will start working immediately."
Several other branch secretaries asked, "When is that soon?"
Without waiting for Mr. Chen's authorization, I interrupted, "Write a letter guaranteeing that you will not hinder the construction and strongly support it. Sign and seal it, and it will be done immediately."
It was written immediately, and someone immediately sent back to retrieve the official seal. The people outside, hearing that construction could begin immediately, felt much more cheerful. Secretary Wei arranged for lunch to be prepared. Everyone present also became excited. They began discussing how to cooperate with Xuri and promote tourism development in the village.
Half an hour later, the official seal arrived. Each village signed a written guarantee. Mayor Tian was delighted and immediately gave a speech, stating that the first step was to sign the contract with Xuri within a week.
Second, they criticized everyone for trespassing on Wei Qiang's home. They demanded that the four villages compensate the Tibetan Mastiff and that the perpetrators of the assault come to Wei Qiang's home to apologize.
Surprisingly, all four village Party secretaries were so happy, not caring about the small amount of money or the need to make a self-criticism. The important thing was that it shattered the myth that everyone was afraid of Er Mengzi.
Everyone said that if Er Mengzi dared to resist, they would tell the fucking bastard to get out of Weijia Village and go back to his hometown.
Mayor Tian said, "We need to deal with this quickly. The four of us, including the one who beat him, will all come with me to Wei Qiang's house."
I stood up and said, "I'm going too."
I spoke with Mayor Tian alone for a while before we all headed towards Wei Sanqiu's house. When we got there, we found the iron gate was closed.
Secretary Wei called out through the door for a while before the old man came out. Seeing us, he stammered, "We've already beaten him, what else do you want?"
Secretary Wei said sternly, "These are leaders. They are not here to beat people, but to reason with them."
Old Man Wei turned around and went back, only to come back to open the door a moment later. Wei Sanqiu was sitting in the living room sulking, and when he saw Mayor Tian and me, he was stunned for a moment.
Mayor Tian said coldly, "Boss Wei, regarding this morning's incident, I called a meeting of the four branch secretaries and severely criticized them. Now I'm here to apologize to you.
If they kill your dog, you must pay compensation according to the price. If the person who beat you is injured, you must receive medical treatment and apologize on the spot.
Wei Sanqiu covered his face, pretending not to hear, and found a pen to write: "My left ear was deafened and I can't hear."
Mayor Tian knew he was being a scoundrel, so he wrote on a piece of paper: "If he's deaf, we'll conduct a forensic examination and deal with him as needed."
The young man who had struck the victim stood up and shouted, "I hit you on the mouth, how could I have deafened you? You're using the same old tricks again, trying to scare me."
I waved my hand at the young man, telling him to stop making such a fuss. I was actually speaking to Wei Sanqiu's father and wife, and also to Wei Sanqiu:
"Old man, sister-in-law, listen up, if Mr. Wei is injured and deaf, Xu Ri will be responsible for treating him. If he is not injured and is deliberately lying, I will treat him on the spot."
His wife glared at me fiercely: "You are not a doctor, how can you treat it?"
I stood up, walked behind Wei Sanqiu, leaned over, and asked at a high decibel: "You really can't hear it?"
He didn't move. In a flash, I struck my right palm with my left hand, making a loud noise. He thought I was going to hit him, and his head reflexively tilted to the right.
"My voice isn't loud either, it's quieter than the one I asked him just now. Do you think he's deaf or not?"
His face flushed crimson, and the old man and his wife hadn't expected me to pull this off. Everyone smiled.
I walked over and sat down, saying, "Boss Wei, please don't fight me. You have the Plum Blossom Palm, and I have the Five Thunder Palm. The other day, I touched your dog and it couldn't move.
Honest people don't do shady things. They should make self-reflection. Those who should pay compensation should pay compensation. However, you have set an example before, and once ordered others to sleep under the wheels of a bulldozer. You should make self-reflection first."
Seeing how firm I was, Mayor Tian said, "These are old matters that need to be brought up again. Others have stepped back as mayors, but as mayor, I will never allow anyone to stir up trouble or override the village party committee and village committee. Set up a special task force to re-investigate."
"You have some godfathers, and you can go tell them now that I, Tian Dehan, have never taken this official position seriously. Whoever wants me to stop investigating the case will have my official position taken off first. But taking off the official position is easy, but it will be difficult later. I will continue to sue."
As soon as Mayor Tian said these words, Old Man Wei's face turned pale and he said, "Mayor, he is ignorant. I will educate him. Please forgive us for what happened in the past."
Wei Sanqiu's wife was so scared that she started crying.
I asked, "How much is that Tibetan Mastiff?"
Old man Wei was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly: "It's a gift from a friend, don't charge me."
"How much is it? The most expensive one is 12 million. Four villages can't afford it."
At this time, Wei Sanqiu, who had been saying he couldn't hear anything, moved his lips. He stood up and bowed to Mayor Tian.
"Mayor, if you want to investigate me, I can't do anything about it. I'll just go to jail. Father and wife, please help me with the minimum living allowance. As for the dog, I brought it from a friend and counted out five thousand yuan. I don't want you to pay for it."
I really just want to be a good citizen. I have done some things in the past that have let down my leaders and fellow villagers. Please forgive me."
Upon hearing this, Mayor Tian said, "I listen to what he says and watch what he does. If he continues to stab others behind their backs, I will continue to settle the old and new accounts."
Then he shouted to Secretary Wei and the other three, "Collect ten thousand! Go and do it now."
I said, "I have some money on me, I'll pay for you first." Then I handed the money to the old man. He refused to take it. I put it on the table.
Mayor Tian said, "Hey, so-and-so, please make a self-criticism."
The young man bowed to Wei Sanqiu. "Brother Qiang, I was impulsive, and hitting someone was wrong. But you also hit my father, and I apologize to you. If you hit my father, you must also apologize.
I've been away from home the whole time. I heard about the development of Bainiao Lake, so I decided to come back and find something to do. If you don't reflect on your actions, you know my temper. Brother Qiang, I'm sorry for you today."
Mayor Tian said, "The matter has been settled. I'll say it again: I'll find whoever started the trouble. Don't look at me as a gentleman. I graduated from university, and I understand everything, both white and black."
Everyone stood up, including Wei Sanqiu, who walked us to the door and said with a smirk, "Have a nice trip, Mayor."
Back at Secretary Wei's house, Mayor Tian explained the situation to General Chen, and everyone agreed that this was the best way to handle it. Several of the branch secretaries offered to give me money. I said solemnly, "I said we'd pay for it."
Then, Mr. Chen and Mayor Tian agreed to hold a formal signing ceremony next Monday.
