Chapter 7 This matter must be managed
What Chen Qingshan said about the village is that many families have married Vietnamese brides. The name of our village is Fudigou. You can guess from the name that it is a small mountain village. Fudigou has a label that is poor. There is a saying among outsiders.
The description is very apt: The people in Fudigou are damn poor. They lose both their legs even if they are attacked by mosquitoes. Where are they? They were dragged away to eat!
Because of poverty, a direct problem is that it is difficult for young men in our village to find wives. Even if they can barely scrape together the high betrothal gifts, they have to borrow a lot of debt. Very few girls are willing to marry us.
Here, in the past few years, it has suddenly become popular to spend 50,000 to 60,000 yuan to bring home a Vietnamese bride without any other expenses. So in the past few years, more than a dozen young people of the right age in the village have gotten married in this way.
When I first returned to the village, I mentioned this matter to Chen Qingshan. At that time, Chen Qingshan taught me a lesson. He picked his teeth and said to me: "Ye Zi, I know you are a college student who understands the law, but I
You said that theory is theory and practice is practice, and some things must be combined with actual conditions. There are so many young men who can't find wives. What if you don't let them do this? They can't all be single, right? The village committee dares to take care of this.
Everyone comes to the village committee to ask for a wife, what should we do?"
When I mentioned this matter, Chen Qingshan thought that I still had to deal with things like buying and selling wives, so I explained: "Village chief, just turn a blind eye otherwise. The affairs of Chen Shitou's family are different. Vietnam
The daughter-in-law is Zhou Yu who is willing to be beaten and beaten, but I saw this girl bought by Chen Shitou. Her clothes are all famous brands and she looks like a student. Who in China would be so poor that he sells his daughter? Whose girl is being raped?
Don't worry about kidnapping, the police will definitely investigate such a big thing, and it's easy to find us. Not to mention, those three brothers raped a girl. If this is implemented, gang rape is more serious than rape.
Wait a minute! When that happens, if you, the village chief, don’t report what you know, what will be the consequences?”
As expected, if nothing else was said, the last sentence about not reporting the knowledge and being jointly and severally responsible hit Chen Qingshan's weakness. He slapped his thigh and said: "Ye Zi, you are a cultured person who sees things thoroughly. Why do I feel awkward when I say this?"
!Okay, I'm going to find Chen Shitou now and send the girl back quickly!"
Because I was worried about this, I waited at Chen Qingshan's house. After a while, Chen Qingshan came back. I quickly went up to him and asked, "Village Chief, what did they say? Are you willing to withdraw?"
Chen Qingshan handed me a cigarette and said: "The girl said she was Chen Shitou's distant niece and came to the village to collect news."
"Do you believe this?! Are you tied up with a rope when you come to collect wind? That girl doesn't dare to tell the truth!" I said.
"I believe him! I told that girl to tell the truth no matter what, don't be afraid, I will make the decision for her. The problem is that she still insists on saying that, which makes me feel like I am nosy!" Chen Qingshan
said angrily.
"She was bought by the villagers. City girls like them are prejudiced against us country people and feel they are all the same, so they don't trust us. But they absolutely trust the police. How about we call the police on this matter?" I asked.
"Tell me what you are! My fellow neighbors, how ugly would it be for you to call the police and let the family of four in? Not to mention that once this matter is exposed, other families who buy wives will also suffer. Let's talk about the three brothers of Dakui. How many years in prison will they be sentenced to?
I won't kill you after I come out? Do you still expect to reason with three mad dogs?" Chen Qingshan said.
"Then you said you won't care about this matter?" I looked at Chen Qingshan and said.
Chen Qingshan said: "Don't be anxious. I've seen that the girl is doing well at Chen Shitou's house and has no injuries on her body. We have to find a way to solve this problem. If it doesn't work, I will make more trips. As long as the girl dares to say yes in front of me,
If she is kidnapped, I will be responsible for sending her away, right? Oh, but I have to say, that girl is really beautiful."
I didn't say anything else, although I knew that Chen Qingshan's thinking was too simple. Now the problem could no longer be solved by sending him away. After sending him away, if he called the police again, the police would still come back to arrest Chen Shitou and his family.
After leaving Chen Qingshan's house, I went back to the village committee. As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a girl standing at the door of the village committee from a distance.
As soon as I saw her, I knew she was waiting for me.
Her name is Han Xue, with the same name as a celebrity, and she is a substitute teacher in the village.
Han Xue is very beautiful, and her facial features can be said to be exquisite. Another thing that makes people even ignore her exquisite facial features is her skin, which is so white that people can't help but pinch it after looking at it.
Pink and fair, Han Xue came to the village to be a teacher. I could tell that it was purely a hobby of a rich girl, because it was obvious that she was born in a well-off family. I took a look at her clothes hanging outside the dormitory.
Clothing brand, this brand was discussed by college classmates before. The price of a skirt was her monthly salary, so she definitely didn't come to the village to teach for money.
Because the previous teacher, Mr. Liu, was too old to teach, Han Xue was the only teacher left in the village. I was the only college student in the village. Although I was a village official, I would still go there in my free time.
I worked as a substitute teacher in school, and there was no salary at that time. You can say that I was doing good things, or that I was selfish because I wanted to get along with Han Xue. The main reason was that I returned to the village all of a sudden from college, and I felt like I was with Han Xue.
common topics.
To say that I don't like her is to be duplicitous, but this is just the love hidden in my heart.
It is an ideal for a toad to want to eat swan meat, but I am a toad without ideals. The main reason is that I dated a girl when I was in college. During the summer vacation of my junior year, I had the courage to take her back to the village once, and she sent her to me after she returned.
I will definitely not blame others for being a good person. After all, my conditions are too bad. But since then, I have had a deep inferiority complex when facing girls. What’s more, after graduation, I only worked as a village official. This job
In fact, the future is slim. How could I dare to pursue Han Xue, who I knew was a rich girl?
Han Xue is a very compassionate person. She bought most of the clothes for the children in the village. When we chatted, she always said that she wanted me to work hard to change the poverty in the village. In the end, she laughed at me for not wanting to make progress.
I lamented that she was too naive and didn't know how hard things were going. Rumors about Chen Shitou's family have been spreading in the village recently, and I knew that Han Xue came to me this time to talk about the incident with Chen Shitou's family.
Sure enough, as soon as we entered the house, she told me about this matter, and she said in an urgent tone that I must take care of it.
I smiled at her and said, "We really have a tacit understanding. I just came back from the village chief's meeting for this very reason."
"What did you say?" Han Xue asked.
I told her about the situation at Chen Qingshan's side, and she said anxiously: "How can we wait? That girl must have been tortured terribly. No, I have to call the police now and ask the police to come over.
"
"Don't worry. What the village chief said is right. Once you call the police and the police come, the matter of other families buying a Vietnamese daughter-in-law will be exposed. Not to mention that the village chief and I will be jointly and severally liable.
It doesn’t matter, but don’t you think about it, if those Vietnamese women are deported, what will happen to the children and the whole family?” I said to Han Xue.
"That's true." Han Xue said immediately.
This is why I like chatting with Han Xue. Sometimes she is as compassionate as a little girl, but sometimes she is also very rational. In contrast, some girls will definitely say that I don’t care, I will definitely call the police, etc.
So, but Han Xue could immediately understand what I was concerned about.
"But we have to find a solution quickly. You must know that if the girl is here for one more day, she will definitely suffer one more day of inhuman torture." Han Xue said.
I nodded. My thoughts were the same as Han Xue's. I still tried my best to let Chen Qingshan communicate. If that didn't work, the only way was to call the police. As I said before, in fact, even if Chen Qingshan asked Chen Shitou and his son to
Let the girl go. Once the girl is rescued, she will call the police. The nature is the same. The reason why I still do this is actually I still hope in my heart that one of the three Chen Shitou and his son can take the initiative to let her go. In that case, even if it is a crime, it will be punishable.
Isn’t it an expression of meritorious service?
After all, no matter how much I dislike these three father and son, they are still very poor people in the village.
——Who knew that something would happen in the village early the next morning, and the fool's grave was dug up.
Because I was considered a cadre in the village, Chen Qingshan called me early in the morning and we went to the Fool’s Tomb together. On the way, Chen Qingshan was still cursing: “Damn it, who’s going to go there blind?
Digging a fool's grave, who doesn't know that the fool couldn't afford a coffin when she was buried, so Chen Shitou wrapped her in a ragged mat and buried her? What can be dug out there?"
"Could it be that Chen Shitou and the others had an affair with someone?" I asked.
When Chen Qingshan thought about it, he slapped me on the head and said with a smile: "As expected of a cultured person, I suddenly came up with an idea. The three brothers Dakui are like mad dogs. People who don't like them
There are too many, which means they need to be cleaned up!"
"A living person has offended someone by digging his mother's grave. It seems that the gravedigger is not a human being." I said.
The two of us chatted and went to the fool's grave. The fool's grave was next to Chen Laogen's grave. Chen Laogen's grave was intact, but there was a big hole in the fool's grave.
After the two of us got there, a lot of villagers had gathered there. Even the highly respected Third Grandpa in the village was there, but he was staring at the hole of the fool's grave with a frown on his face. The villagers were talking about it, and I
What they were talking about was that no one would dig up a fool's grave. The fool must have escaped by himself.
As soon as I heard this topic, I remembered the time when Chen Shitou carried the three-year-old me to dig a fool's grave, and my breathing even became a little unstable.
But I don’t believe what everyone says. Even if you fools blew up corpses back then, twenty years have passed and they have already decayed. Why are you still pretending to be corpses?
Third Grandpa saw us coming, nodded to us, and then said: "Qingshan, come here."
Third Grandpa is highly respected in the village, which is to say that it is not popular to talk about patriarchs nowadays. Even so, Third Grandpa’s prestige in the village is much higher than that of us village cadres. He called Chen Qingshan aside and chatted for a few words.
Afterwards, Chen Qingshan came over and squatted down to study the hole.
I walked over and asked quietly: "What did the third master ask you to do? It's mysterious."
Chen Qingshan pulled me and pointed me to look at the hole. His face turned a little pale and he said: "Look at this hole, it was dug by people. Look at the nail marks and the texture trend. It's from the inside."
It was dug outside, do you understand what I said?"
I actually understood it after seeing it, but I still didn't want to believe it, so I said harshly: "Pay attention to your identity, you are a Communist and a materialist!"
Chen Qingshan waved his hand and said, "I'll take you down. You were still young when the idiot faked the corpse, but I saw it with my own eyes."
Chapter completed!
