Chapter 291 Village Bull

the next day.

"Honey, take me to the town government. I want to learn more about the Sanzu Village first."

"I suggest you go to the town police station again and investigate the previous case of the female college student who committed suicide after becoming pregnant."

"OK."

Town government.

Dong Ling made copies of all the relevant archives and materials of the Three Ethnic Groups Village.

"Secretary Tong, I would like to request a letter of introduction from Kaifeng."

"Okay, which company would you like to go to?"

"Township Police Station".

"OK."

Secretary Tong smiled and accepted the letter of introduction handed over by Dong Ling, then stamped it.

"Xiaoliu wasn't in the dorm last night?"

"No, I didn't bring everything. I'll rest in town for a few days and buy everything before going back."

"Yes. The village chief of Sanzu Village said last night that he would go to see if you needed anything, but he found you weren't there. He's at the village committee all day. If you need to communicate anything, you can go to him."

"OK."

Town police station.

Dong Ling took out a letter of introduction: "Hello, I am an economic researcher at the town government and also the resident advisor for Sanzu Village. I would like to check the police reports and criminal cases in Sanzu Village in recent years."

The receptionist in the archives was also a young girl. She paused for a moment when she saw Dong Ling, but still went to organize the materials. There weren't many, and she quickly made copies.

"Are you a college student sent from above?"

Remember to lock the door when you go to sleep at night.

After receiving the documents, Dong Ling tilted his head and said to the girl, "Thank you."

Back in the car.

"Honey, there's something fishy about that female college student from the Sanzu Village who committed suicide while pregnant."

"It's inevitable that there will be problems."

"Secretary Tong said that the village chief of Sanzu Village came to look for me last night, but I wasn't there. He's waiting for me at the village committee now."

Dongling and I exchanged a glance.

"Let's go in a couple of days."

Anyway, there's no rush. At least the hotel has air conditioning, and it's much better than that shabby dorm.

A week later, Xiaomai arrived with her people.

They were all familiar faces.

"Let's go and meet the village chief of this Three-Ethnic Village."

Xiaomai and his group were assigned to the town.

I drove Dongling to the village committee of Sanzu Village.

to the place.

"Hello, Coach Liu, I'm the village chief of Sanzu Village. I've been waiting for you at the village committee for so many days, and I'm so glad you've finally arrived."

"I'm new here and haven't bought all my daily necessities, so I'm resting in town for now. Village Chief Wu, I see that most of our village has orchards, so the economy shouldn't be bad, and the village shouldn't be this poor."

"Sigh, the road is no good; the fruit trucks don't want to come in."

"What will happen to the fruit from that village?"

"Normally, I collect the produce for the villagers and then sell it in town. This back-and-forth process doesn't make me any money. If there's a natural disaster or a water shortage, it becomes even more difficult."

Just then, Village Chief Wu saw me smoking outside and asked, "Who is that?"

"My boyfriend was worried about me coming all this way by myself, so he came along to check on me. I'll be going back in a few days."

"Oh, come on in, come in and sit down with me."

"No need, you two chat."

"In that case, let's go and take a walk around the village."

And so, the two of them walked ahead, and I followed behind.

The road is a dirt road.

In the dry season, dust flies everywhere.

On rainy days, the ground is covered in mud puddles.

"Two years ago, the whole country was implementing a rural road paving project, so why weren't the roads paved in Sanzu Village?"

"I've already submitted an application to the town, but the construction team still hasn't arrived."

"Oh. I'll go back to town this afternoon and ask."

"That's great. If this road is repaired, fruit vendors will be more willing to come, and the villagers' lives will be a little better."

The village is small; it takes less than an hour to walk around it.

Back in town.

Dong Ling approached the director of the town government's economic reform office: "The road paving project in Sanzu Village hasn't been completed yet. The villagers are asking when the construction team will arrive."

"The construction team has been there three times already. The villagers are demanding compensation from each and every household for the road repairs. You know, the government is paying for the road repairs, but they're asking for compensation instead. The construction team can't start work, so it's just been a stalemate."

What happened to the road repair funds allocated by the government?

"I don't know, you'll have to ask the accountant."

Finance Office.

"Sister Zhang, I'm Xiao Liu, the new guy here, responsible for providing guidance in Sanzu Village. I'd like to inquire whether the funds for the road paving project in Sanzu Village are still in the account?"

Sister Zhang, who wore glasses, paused for a moment when she heard Dong Ling's words, then checked her phone: "Yes, yes."

"Okay, I'll contact the construction team in the next couple of days and have them come over to start work."

"Construction won't be easy to do in the Sanzu Village area."

"I'll go explain that the road construction is for everyone's benefit."

Three ethnic villages.

Dongling went door-to-door to consult, fill out forms, and sign confirmations.

More than 7% of residents agree to the road construction.

"There's a problem. This village has three surnames, but the Wu family has been in charge of the village for over 20 years. Logically, it should be the turn of the other surnames. Moreover, those who disagree with building the road are all from the Wu family."

"You're right, I'll find someone on welfare and ask them about the real situation."

The family receiving minimum living allowance.

Before I even entered, Dongling gestured for me to leave immediately.

"What's wrong?"

"The people receiving minimum living allowance all have the surname Wu... but we can't get any information out of them."

"If you ask me, don't rush to ask. First, go to each household to register their situation. Just say that you were sent by the higher authorities to help alleviate poverty and give 2000 yuan in cash subsidies to families that are truly in need. The Ya Hong Foundation can cover this cost. If we can find someone in the whole village who is willing to tell the truth, we can open a breakthrough."

It's no easy task for college students to be stationed in villages.

Some people get promoted after sleeping for half a year and playing for half a year.

Some people come down and work themselves to the bone for a year.

It took a week to visit this village, even with me traveling with them in the car.

A generous reward will surely attract brave men.

Having 2000 yuan in your pocket is much more practical than being beaten and starving.

In the end, someone told the truth.

The orchard belongs to the village collective, but the fruit belongs to the village head.

The villagers have no land.

You can't even get enough to eat after a year of hard work.

"You mean the village chief buys the fruit you grow yourself at a low price and you sell it yourself?"

"kindness."

"Didn't anyone call the police? This is a typical case of village bullying."

"What if we call the police? Will we get another beating the next day? The Wu family has a few young men who are just there to go to jail. They'll take the blame one by one."

"If I have a way to bring the Wu family to justice, would you be willing to be witnesses?"

"Unless you arrest the entire Wu family, we won't show our faces."

We left this house.

"The root of the problem isn't here, it's in the town's police station. Even if they drive the Wu family away, it'll be the same if they just change their surname."

I agree with Dongling's idea.

"Using officials to govern officials."

Ultimately, Lingling and Wen Yining communicated by phone. The Wen family in the northern province had connections in the political and legal system, and they were able to coordinate police forces directly from the city to prepare for any eventuality.
