Since there are no slip-ups, there’s nothing to fear from what others say.
Qi Dazhu appeared not to see the stern look on Zhou Sihai’s face and calmly said with a smile, “The second day these people arrived in the village, I began arranging tasks.
I have been acting in accordance with the commune’s directives, where did I go wrong?”
Zhou Sihai was taken aback; wherever he had gone before, he was always looked up to.
But this Qi Dazhu was neither humble nor pushy, which was simply uncooperative!
Since that was the case, let Qi Dazhu see how formidable they could be.
“Someone has accused you, proving that your work is not up to scratch, and your time as Village Chief Qi is coming to an end,” Zhou Sihai said with a sneer, “Comrade Qi Dazhu, I’m now formally warning you, don’t try to quibble.”
A petty man, an utter petty man.
Accusing me of quibbling?!
So, your word is definitive?
Look at what you are! ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Are you even worthy?
Despite his contempt, Qi Dazhu didn’t dare let down his guard; now that Zhou Sihai had his sights set on him, without a proper resolution, he would be harassed continuously.
“Section Chief Zhou, I think the person who said this simply doesn’t understand our village’s affairs.
If you don’t believe me, you can go and ask the villagers if I have been following the county’s instructions,” Village Chief Qi said earnestly.
He had done his job thoroughly, so even if other villagers were asked, they wouldn’t be able to fault him.
“Heh,” Zhou Sihai laughed with ill intent and pulled out a letter from a satchel, “Others may not understand the situation in your village, but this letter was written by someone from your village.
They know everything about your village inside out; what excuse do you have left to quibble!”
Village Chief Qi was stunned; he had initially thought that the complaint came from someone outside, but it never occurred to him that it would be someone from the village.
It seemed in Qijia Village, his authority wasn’t enough to command everyone’s respect.
There were two possibilities for such a situation.
First, someone had a grudge against the old people who came to the village.
Second, someone in the village was discontent with him and wanted his position as village party secretary for themselves.
Regardless of which it was, Village Chief Qi couldn’t accept either possibility.
Village Chief Qi reached out for the letter, curious to know who it was.
But Zhou Sihai had already put it back, saying with a sly smile, “Village Chief Qi, you can’t see this letter.
We must protect this comrade, otherwise, in the future, no one would support our work.”
“If it’s anonymous, then it’s only one side of the story; we only have the right to speak after an investigation,” Village Chief Qi said, “I have been following the commune’s directives in my work.
If Section Chief Zhou doesn’t believe it, you can check at any time.”
Village Chief Qi was confident, except for Old Man Bai, who broke his leg; all the other people had already gone to work the fields today.
Even if Zhou Sihai went to check, he wouldn’t find anything amiss.
“An inspection is, of course, necessary, but Village Chief Qi, you can’t follow us.
We want to conduct our own investigation and obtain first-hand information,” Zhou Sihai said smugly, “The people I brought are already in the middle of inspecting.”
Village Chief Qi felt frustrated, having to take such pressure from a younger man for the first time.
However, it was clear that these people had come prepared and Village Chief Qi did not dare take them lightly, handling the situation with care.
He Tiantian was cutting grass on the mountain, when Snake King, who was coiled around her ankle, suddenly crawled out and alerted the girl who was engrossed in her work, “People have come to the village, over twenty menacing figures.
They don’t look like good folks and seem to be targeting the old men…”
Although Snake King was always in its Barrier Space, it could sense what was happening outside unless it was in meditation.
He Tiantian had a good impression of those people, so Snake King took it to heart.
This morning, Professor Gu and the others had already gone to work, but that Old Man Bai was resting at home.
Village Chief Qi was mindful of Old Man Bai’s broken leg, which prevented him from working.
He Tiantian couldn’t afford to keep cutting grass either, she hoisted her nearly full bamboo basket onto her back and dashed down the mountain.
“Hey…
hey…
wait for me…” Snake King saw He Tiantian running swiftly and chased after her while shouting, cursing her silently for being such a darn good person.
“Aren’t you the Snake King?
Can’t you even keep up with me?” He Tiantian didn’t look back, quickening her pace down the hill.
Snake King, fuming with rage and with fire in his eyes, could keep up over short distances but was no match over the long haul.
“You…
” Snake King truly regretted not having bitten He Tiantian to death before, this ugly woman who actually underestimated it – the mighty Snake King would definitely show her how formidable it was as it continued to slither after her in pursuit.
He did catch up, but by now they had already reached the bottom of the mountain.
SNAKE KING, breathless and gasping for air, hid in the grass under the shade of the trees to take a break.
After resting up, he would teach this ignorant woman a lesson!
He Tiantian arrived at the livestock team’s place, and seeing that the young people hadn’t gotten there yet, she hurried into the house and said, “Old Bai, a group of young people is coming.
I’ll help you get out.
You sit on the ground and dry the grass to show that you’re also working, to prevent them from picking faults.”
“That would be a bother, Girl Tian,” Old Man Bai said, letting He Tiantian help him outside.
Since his leg couldn’t bear standing for long, he had no choice but to sit on the ground.
He Tiantian quickly dumped the freshly cut grass in a pile.
Just as she finished, she heard a noisy commotion outside.
“Old Bai, I’m sorry,” He Tiantian whispered.
She did this to protect Old Man Bai.
In her previous life, nothing like this had ever happened.
He Tiantian’s heart raced, suspecting that it might be because she had changed certain things, causing her environment to change as well.
These old people were also affected by her actions, and so He Tiantian hoped to do her best to help them.
“It’s no trouble,” Old Man Bai said with a wry smile.
Today was a tough day!
“Even with a broken leg, you need to work to show your sincerity,” He Tiantian said shrilly, “You better hurry up and spread out this grass to dry, or else don’t blame me for being unkind.”
Old Man Bai kept his head down, sitting on the ground and spreading out the green grass with his hands, picking out the weeds from within.
By this time, Zhou Sihai had arrived at the livestock team with his men, just in time to witness the scene, commenting, “Good, this is what a promising young person looks like…”
He Tiantian smiled modestly, saying, “You flatter me, you flatter me.”
“That’s right, it should be like that,” Zhou Sihai laughed, “Well done, well done.
You see, Comrades, this is an excellent example, the greatest success of our work.”
He Tiantian applauded, saying, “You’re absolutely right, that’s exactly what our Village Chief Qi says!”
The young people who had followed were also clapping for Zhou Sihai.
Zhou Sihai was pleased inside, Qijia Village wasn’t bad at all.
However, this trip had been in vain with no findings.
On second thought, passing the surprise inspection also proved that his work was on point!
Village Chief Qi, who had followed Zhou Sihai, was inwardly shocked to see what He Tiantian was doing.
Could it be that He Tiantian had reported him?
Village Chief Qi was half doubtful but seeing that Zhou Sihai had no intention of proceeding, he felt faintly relieved.
“Village Chief Qi, you’re doing a good job,” Zhou Sihai changed his address, today’s inspection revealed no issues, and indeed it was the busy farming season.
If he had disrupted the production, it would reflect poorly on his own work, and Director Zheng would not support him.
