Chapter 114: Besieging the Village Branch
Li Shaoan and Zhao Xuemei came to the outside of the village branch together, and surrounded about a dozen villagers. In order not to attract attention, the two chose to stand in a periphery.
"Huh?" Zhao Xuemei let out a curious cry.
"What's wrong?" Li Shaoan asked in a low voice.
Zhao Xuemei said: "These people seem to be all low-income households in the village."
Because the monthly minimum living allowance in Tieshan Bay is released by Zhao Xuemei, after seeing these familiar faces, she immediately reacted.
Li Shaoan suddenly remembered that some time ago, Chen Baozhong took advantage of the opportunity to cure the ox iron pillar and cut off the list of low-income households in the village that did not meet the specifications. It seems that these people came to make noise because their minimum living allowance was cancelled.
"Secretary Chen, Secretary Chen, we want to meet Secretary Chen!"
Judging from their age, these people are between forty and fifty, and there is nothing wrong with their limbs and no problem with their heads.
"Did you see the one who took the lead?" Zhao Xuemei signaled Li Shaoan to look at the woman who called the loudest in the middle, "Her name is Huang Xiantao, and she is Huang Yunlong's cousin. According to her family's conditions, she cannot get the minimum living allowance, but Huang Yunlong still got a place for her cousin."
Huang Xiantao is in his fifties, several years older than Huang Yunlong. He can't see any difficulty in his body. He is born with fat, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his big belly can't even cover his clothes. The layers of fat are falling down.
Beside Huang Xiantao is his man Wang Tieshan. The Wang surname is a big family in Tieshanwan. Wang Tieshan and Wang Changgui's ancestors have some relationship. As for the current generation, they have little relationship, but their surname is Wang.
Huang Xiantao shouted alone, raising his arms and shouting, with the aura of leading the elder sister. Including her man Wang Tieshan, the other families were like minions waving flags for her.
Hearing the noise outside, Chen Baozhong walked out of the village party secretary's office and frowned when he saw the situation in front of him.
Chen Baozhong could tell at a glance that Huang Xiantao was the leader among these people. He stared at Huang Xiantao and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Secretary Chen, we want to live, please give us a way out." In front of Chen Baozhong, Huang Xiantao certainly did not dare to force herself. No matter how stupid she was, she would not conflict with the village party secretary. Instead, when she saw Chen Baozhong come out, she immediately put on a pitiful attitude.
The rest of the people who followed Huang Xiantao to make trouble also followed the saying, "Secretary Chen, give us a way out."
The people have one of the biggest hobbies that is to watch the fun, especially this group of low-income households that have been cut off are surrounded by the village branch. It is not long before such a good-looking and lively manner. In a short while, there have been a circle of villagers outside the village branch, and more and more villagers are rushing to watch the show.
Huang Xiantao used retreat as an advance, saying how pitiful he was. The family could not survive without the minimum living security. At the same time, it pushed Chen Baozhong into an unjust position. It was Chen Baozhong, the cruel executioner, who cruelly deprived everyone of the minimum living security funds.
Seeing that more and more villagers were watching, Huang Xian Tao Opera was performing more vigorously, and he knelt down to Chen Baozhong and kept kowtowing, and the same words were still said, "Secretary Chen, please give our whole family a bite of food."
In public, Huang Xiantao and other groups of people kneeled down in public to worship Chen Baozhong. This trick was too cruel. People who didn't know the truth would think that Chen Baozhong was fishing in the village, and he snatched heavy taxes and took away the minimum living allowances of these people.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly!" Chen Baozhong said righteously.
"No, we don't get up, and we won't have food to eat when we get up. We will still starve to death. Instead of starving to death in humiliation, it's better to kneel here and die to death." Huang Xiantao cried.
"Nothing is a nothing!" Chen Baozhong's face looked very bad.
Huang Xiantao cried and said, "Our whole family has always lived on monthly minimum living allowances. Secretary Chen, you are now stopping our minimum living allowances. What will happen to our family in the future?"
Chen Baozhong quickly grasped the crux of solving the problem. The one who really charged forward was Huang Xiantao, and the most stubborn one must be Huang Xiantao. Instead of arguing with her, it would be better to start from others to persuade them to retreat.
As an official and cadre who has seen countless people, Chen Baozhong saw at a glance which of these people had a swaying mentality.
"Li Erzhu, how many people are in your family? How many acres of land?" Chen Baozhong asked an old villager beside Huang Xiantao.
Li Erzhu replied: "Reply to Secretary Chen, the family of seven, two sons and one daughter. The son is married, and the daughter has not yet been married."
Chen Baozhong made a loud voice and asked: "Your family is exactly the same as Wang Changgui's family. Why can Wang Changgui become the grain-growing king in Tieshanwan, but you, Li Erzhu, can only make a living by relying on minimum living allowance?"
Li Erzhu replied: "Wang Changgui's family has more than 20 acres of land, while my family has seven people, only three acres of land."
"I have already investigated the land issue. Three years ago, your family contracted twelve acres of land, and last year there were five acres, but this year there were only three acres left. Why are they getting smaller every year?" Chen Baozhong angrily scolded: "I think you are just lazy and want to get something for nothing. You deliberately turn off the land in your hands so as to meet the standard of receiving a minimum living allowance!"
Li Erzhu was so guilty that he was scolded by Chen Baozhong. He did not dare to look up or speak out.
"If you have self-knowledge, hurry up and don't come and trek for muddy waters," Chen Baozhong said sternly.
When the onlookers heard what Chen Baozhong said, there was a lot of discussion and pointed at Li Erzhu. Li Erzhu couldn't hold back his face and retreated angrily.
Two other villagers who came to make trouble with Li Erzhu were also afraid that their scandal would be revealed and then the villagers would be stabbed in the back.
Chen Baozhong's eyes fell on a man in his thirties and asked, "Wang Taili, where are you? How many people are you in your family and how many acres of land?"
"I am the only one in my family, a single one, and there is no land!" Wang Taili shouted.
"There are many people in the village who have no land. You have hands and feet, can work and work. What is the reason for you to get this minimum living allowance?" Chen Baozhong rebuked: "Niu Tiezhu, who is similar to your situation, has also been cut off from the minimum living allowance, why don't he come to make trouble?"
"That's right, how can you be ashamed to get a minimum living allowance with hands and feet?"
"That's right, all the minimum living allowances in our village were received by these people, which is really hateful."
Hearing the accusations from the villagers behind him, Wang Taili had nothing to say and could only turn his head and leave in anger.
This time, several more left, and only Huang Xiantao and Wang Tieshan and his wife were left to make trouble.
Chen Baozhong looked at Huang Xiantao with a hint of sympathy and pity in his eyes, because next, he would not show mercy to the couple.
"Huang Xiantao, I have already investigated your family conditions. Your son has a son and a daughter. His son has already started a family. He bought a house in Yangqiao Town and lived in Yangqiao Town. His daughter is still studying in the provincial capital. Although you couple have no land on the surface, they have shares in gold mines. With such conditions, can you shamelessly bring people to the village branch to cause trouble?"
Chen Baozhong walked to the crowd and whispered to the villagers watching around: "There are so many truly poor families in Tieshan Bay, but how many families have received the minimum living allowance? All of them are taken away by these families that do not meet the requirements. It is unfair to those families who really need the minimum living allowance."
"Since I, Chen Baozhong, has become the village party secretary of Tieshanwan, I will take everyone out of poverty and become rich! The first step is to pick out these borers and let the minimum living allowance be implemented in the hands of families who really need it!"
"Secretary Chen said it well, find these flies!"
"If Secretary Chen is doing a pretty job, he should be disqualified from these people!"
"We all support Secretary Chen. With Secretary Chen, we will have hope in Tieshanwan."
For a moment, the onlookers were shouting loudly, and everyone was shouting for Chen Baozhong. In the hearts of the villagers, a branch secretary who is worth looking forward to finally came to Tieshanwan.
Wang Tieshan glared at his wife complainingly. At that time, he firmly disagreed with Huang Xiantao coming to the village branch to cause trouble. However, Huang Xiantao thought he was Huang Yunlong's cousin, and the village chief supported her, and she was so swollen that she became a public enemy in the whole village, and everyone shouted and beaten by rats crossing the street.
"You are trying to force me to death!" Huang Xiantao took out a white plastic bottle from his clothes, "Secretary Chen, if you cancel my minimum living allowance, I will drink pesticides to death in person for you!"
Wang Tieshan couldn't stand it and advised his wife, "Xiantao, don't make trouble again!"
Of course, Wang Tieshan knew that the small bottle was not a pesticide at all, but the soapy water that the couple had filled before they came. Huang Xiantao had already made plans. If Chen Baozhong refused to submit, she would pretend to drink pesticides to force him to agree.
"Shut up! Unless we keep our family's minimum living allowance quota, I will die in the village branch!" Huang Xiantao roared at her husband Wang Tieshan.
When Huang Xiantao took out pesticides, the villagers watching became even more excited. Because Huang Xiantao relied on her as the village chief's cousin and offended many people in the village, everyone did not advise her, but someone urged her to insult her.
"Drink, drink it if you have the ability."
"That's right, I really have the nerve to drink one for everyone to see."
Huang Xiantao was unable to get off the tiger. Looking at the sarcastic villagers around him, he didn't know what to do for a moment. He thought that the bottle was filled with soapy water anyway, so he would drink it and get some white spit out and pretend to be poisoned and get away with it.
"Okay, you forced me. I'll drink it for you today!" Looking around, Huang Xiantao was very angry, and bet he opened the bottle cap and tilted his head up and poured it into his mouth.
"Don't do stupid things!" Chen Baozhong was shocked and rushed over in two steps to stop him. He didn't know whether the pesticides were true or not, but he would never see the villagers swallowing pesticides in front of him.
However, Huang Xiantao took a few sips and found something was wrong. The smell was not soapy at all. Then he felt a spontaneous, and the plastic bottle in his hand fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and falling down.
