Chapter 128 Who Burned the Fire?
After saying that, Aunt Wang pulled the wooden door a few times, trying to get rid of the arm that the white pigeon grabbed.
I don’t know where the white pigeon got its strength, so I grabbed the wooden door and didn’t let go. Maybe I used too much force, and there were faint blue blood vessels flashing on my slender white arms.
"Bai Ge, it sounds so ugly to me, an old woman, scold people. I miss you, you are from Yangjiazhuang, don't be rude."
Because of the dispute and Aunt Wang's loud voice, many villagers gathered at the door for a while. They were gloating about Zhang Guoquan and wished that the powerful Aunt Wang would curse them a few more words to relieve their anger.
The stubborn white pigeon was not scared away by her words, nor was it intimidated by the onlookers.
She raised her stubborn face: "Aunt Wang, I know you are not satisfied with Guoquan's doing this. I also know that Brother Jianmin is a good person. Everyone has resentment towards Guoquan's actions, which is understandable."
Bai Ge was very quick when he spoke, and his voice trembled slightly due to excitement.
"But Guoquan did nothing wrong. Everyone has the initial conscience and put it in mind. You don't want your child to do such a thing as killing his father with his son."
Aunt Wang wanted to argue a few more words, but Bai Ge didn't give her the chance: "Even if the old man feels that he has lived enough and wants to die, do you have the heart to leave this kind of thing that frees the old man to the child? Can the child bear the inner self-blame in the future? He will live under the condemnation of his conscience for the rest of his life."
In that case, the child will live a very painful life.
"Even if..." Bai Ge said too quickly, and couldn't help but pause for a moment and then hurriedly said: "Even if the old man is willing, the child can bear it even if he is strong inside. But if everyone does this, there will be no chaos in this world, no human relationship or bottom line."
Aunt Wang's hand holding the wooden door became a little weak, and she was silent.
The villagers who watched the fun became silent, looking at each other, not knowing what they were thinking.
Bai Ge suddenly became gentle: "Guoquan is just guarding his last bottom line, also guarding the bottom line of Yangjiazhuang, and even more guarding his original conscience."
"The petition was not to sign the petition for the sake of the whole country. He had no sin. He was just doing something for Brother Jianmin. He knew that he was wrong. He had no desire to live and was determined to die."
"I think,
I think if this petition can be sent to Brother Jianmin, if he sees it, he will know that the villagers in Yangjiazhuang are thinking about him and have not changed their views on him. Yangjiazhuang is still his home, and there are villagers waiting for him to come back here."
This was the first time she had the courage to face everyone. She was so timid and inferior in the past.
It's different now. She dared to face everyone's face and became brave. Bai Ge wanted to continue talking.
"Bai Ge, stop talking." Aunt Wang's hand holding the door frame no longer had the strength. She was completely conquered by Bai Ge's words.
She is a village woman, a rough man, and has no education, but such naked words hit her heart like a heavy hammer.
"We know that Guoquan is right in this matter, but Jianmin is a child from Yangjiazhuang, and he is such a good child, so everyone feels frustrated. I feel unwilling to accept such a good child from Jianmin, so I invite you..."
Later, when I wanted Bai Ge to forgive her, Aunt Wang didn't say it, but suddenly sighed: "I'll say ok first. My signature was for Jianmin, not for him Zhang Guoquan."
Because of his previous irritable behavior, Aunt Wang didn't want to wipe her face, so she could only use this sentence to hide her inner embarrassment.
But it was enough for Bai Ge, and she didn't need Aunt Wang to apologize. Judging from the other party's behavior, she knew that everyone's views on Guoquan had changed a little.
Look, I said that I can help you, do my best for you, and fight side by side with you.
This feeling of mutual support makes Bai Ge feel at ease.
Zhang Guoquan had long been shocked. He was surprised by Bai Ge's performance just now, and what was even more surprised was that Bai Ge understood him so much.
"What's the sign? I'm an old woman, I can't read. Can you just stamp my handprint?"
"Okay." Bai Ge greeted.
"Count me."
"It's me too."
"We have to worry about building the people, and I will also press a handprint."
The villagers who watched for a while rushed over and surrounded Zhang Guoquan.
Most of them are illiterate and hold their hands high outside.
Bai Ge sat on the periphery, like a hero. If she succeeded, she could be a useful person.
There are about 600 households in the village, and now there are only a few dozen households who have written good handprints. Zhang Guoquan still has a lot of work to complete.
It is indeed difficult for so many families to say a few words of explanation, if you understand, you will sign or press your handprint.
If you encounter a stubborn and unscrupulous villager, Yixin only thinks that this is Zhang Guoquan’s mistake, there will be no more people.
But Zhang Guoquan did not give up and stood stubbornly at the door. When others were about to have dinner, he didn't leave. He just stood there with Bai Ge.
Zhang Guoquan said to Bai Ge: "No one household can be missed. If one household is more, Brother Jianmin will have more hope of living."
After others finished their meal, Zhang Guoquan continued to lobby. Others were really useless to deal with him. There was still work in the fields. I couldn't spend a day with him here, so I signed the letter and pressed my handprints.
After that, I did not forget to explain: "I am just for the sake of building the people."
Zhang Guoquan just nodded. He didn't care about these things. As long as he signed the letter, the heaviness in his heart would be relieved.
After a busy day, I only signed one-third of the time, which is enough to prove how difficult this process is.
The next day was still the same, difficult and persistent.
Until the third day, Zhang Guoquan hesitated when he looked at the two big poplar trees.
Now it is time to plant corn, and the wheat threshing farms under the poplar trees are no longer available. They are busy growing corn, but instead abandoning the wheat threshing farms.
The originally solid land was covered with a layer of skin and raised up, like sailboats that were about to sail far away.
The wheat grains in the cracks were almost growing taller than their calves, and their vitality was so strong.
Bai Ge saw his hesitation: "Guoquan, you said that no household can be missed."
Bai Ge's sensitive heart made her see through Zhang Guoquan's thoughts at this moment. She found that sometimes Guoquan is not as strong as he looks, but the National Assembly does not care about everything he cares about.
This is what she wants, Zhang Guoquan, flesh and blood, personality, and shortcomings.
With the encouragement of the white pigeon, Zhang Guoquan finally plucked up the courage to lead the white pigeon to the two big poplar trees.
My brother-in-law Wang Yonggui, who had just had lunch, was busy gathering his head together. The sun would not be so poisonous later and he would go to the ground to weed.
My brother-in-law just lowered her head and did not notice Zhang Guoquan's arrival. Instead, Hu Zi, who was playing next to her, shouted: "Uncle."
Originally, Hu Zi should have called him uncle, but because his brother-in-law went back to the door, Hu Zi's surname was Yang, so he could only call Zhang Guoquan the uncle.
Wang Yonggui raised his head when he heard Hu Zi's shouting. Seeing that it was Guoquan, he hurriedly said hello: "Ah, Guoquan is here."
"Yes, brother-in-law, I'm going to have something to do."
"Ah." Wang Yonggui just nodded, but didn't know what to say.
"Brother-in-law, I'm here to find you because I want you to press a handprint. For Brother Jianmin's affairs, I want to show him this petition for Wanmin."
"Ah, I'll press it." Wang Yonggui rubbed his hands on his trouser legs a few times, and suddenly put down his raised hand: "Let your elder sister press it."
Zhang Guoquan looked at his brother-in-law's sudden stopping movement and felt uncomfortable for a moment: "It's okay, everyone presses it the same, you press it."
Anyway, they are all a whole family, so what's the difference?
Wang Yonggui seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage and finally made up his mind, but as soon as he raised his hand, he was shouted by his father-in-law.
"How can he do it? Are there any rules?"
Old Monster Yang walked out of the yard, and his brother-in-law Wang Yonggui went busy with his head down.
Following him from behind, his elder sister Yang Yulan was also following.
She could hear Zhang Guoquan's voice in the yard, and she hadn't seen this brother-in-law for a long time.
Yang Yulan was inexplicably looking forward to his arrival. He didn't know that since he left, she had also taken away Yang Cuilan's heart.
This is so scary and shameful.
