Sun Yuting's words immediately impressed Tian Futang. He felt that concealing Sun Yuting's return and not reporting it to the steel factory was a wise choice.
However, Tian Futang is an old man, and he didn't completely believe him just because of Sun Yuting's words.
After all, once this matter is exposed, even if Tian Fujun has now become the leader of the county, he may not be able to be saved.
Therefore, Tian Futang had to seriously test Sun Yuting's words.
Tian Futang then asked: "Yuting, aren't you afraid that if the dam is opened and the water rushes down, the lives of the members working below will be in danger? That's dozens of lives!"
"Brother Fu, judging from what you said, you are the leader of our Shuangshui Village. You must have taken everything into consideration, and you must have told the members of our village downstream about the upcoming flood.
." As he spoke, Sun Yuting raised a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Otherwise, when you came here to clean up the mud today, you wouldn't have brought a donkey cart with you. Donkeys are easy to panic when encountering an emergency, even if you do it in advance.
Even if you are prepared, it is difficult to avoid accidents.”
Hearing this, Tian Futang would inevitably look high at Sun Yuting, who was quite clever.
There are many people in the Tian family, many of whom are loyal to Tian Futang, but those guys can't even write their own names and can only work in the fields all day long, so they are not useful at all.
So much so that Tian Futang has tried several times to choose another Tian family member to serve as a member of the Shuangshui Village Committee, but he has never been able to find a suitable candidate.
If Sun Yuting was really loyal, he would be a useful talent.
Tian Futang became interested in recruiting, and his attitude became warmer now. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Sun Yuting.
Looking at the cigarette at the big front door, Sun Yuting felt ecstatic in his heart, and showed how flattered he was at the right time.
You must know that in those days, the commune members in Shuangshui Village smoked local cigarettes. The big front door was not expensive, only a few cents a pack, but for the villagers who had no way to make money, it was a luxury.
Only Tian Futang can afford it.
Tian Futang is not the kind of generous person. Only when the Tian family has made special contributions will he give up one.
This is not a cigarette, but appreciation and a huge face.
Tian Futang was very impressed by Sun Yuting's carefully designed expressions.
He nodded towards Sun Yuting and then asked: "Even if our Tian family members escape, there are still Zhoujiazhuang members! Can you just watch those members drown?"
"Floods are natural disasters. If there is no way to escape the floods, it only means that those members are unlucky. What does it have to do with you!"
Sun Yuting, who was well prepared, handed in a perfect test paper.
In fact, Sun Yuting thought exactly this way. In his opinion, no matter whether he stood up to help Tian Futang or not, Tian Futang would pry open the dam, and all the members of the commune would not be able to avoid being injured.
So he, Sun Yuting, did nothing wrong.
Sun Yuting's rogue spirit was immediately appreciated by Tian Futang.
To become a village cadre in a backward village like Shuangshui Village, rogue energy is indispensable. After all, those old ladies and young wives are often not so reasonable.
Sun Yuting's statement won Tian Futang's trust.
Tian Futang patted him heavily on the shoulder twice: "Okay, okay, Yuting, you can follow me from now on, I guarantee that you will be able to enjoy the food and drink spicy food."
"Thank you, cousin Fu!"
Tian Futang took Sun Yuting to the embankment. Sun Yuting regretted it at the time. The embankments were made of rammed earth and were extremely strong. Even if the shovel was shoveled down, even if he used a lot of force, the sharp shovel blade could not penetrate the embankment.
Sun Yuting spent a lot of effort to dig out the dam.
Widow Liu already knew what happened next.
Her eyes were full of tears now, she gritted her teeth and said angrily: "I didn't expect that my family Zhou Tianheng was really killed by you!"
When Sun Yuting heard this, he shivered with fright, and quickly waved his hands and said: "Widow Liu, although I dug the dam, you have to know that even if I don't do it, Tian Futang won't do it, and Zhou Tianheng will still die.
, so this matter has nothing to do with me, if you want to hate, just hate Tian Futang alone!"
Widow Liu thought of the good times in the past and wanted to peel off Sun Yuting's skin and bones, but after thinking about it carefully, she gritted her teeth and endured it.
After all, she still needs Sun Yuting to testify against Tian Futang.
Widow Liu has become stronger after so many years of suffering. She wiped away her tears and forced out a smile: "Sun Yuting, are you willing to testify against Tian Futang!"
Hearing this, Sun Yuting's face suddenly turned pale: "Widow Liu, are you kidding me? What kind of person is Tian Futang? I'm afraid..."
"Don't be afraid. With Jin Junshan and Director Li this time, Tian Futang will definitely be dead. As long as you cooperate well then, it will be fine." Widow Liu continued: "Anyway, you have betrayed Tian Futang. If you can't nail Tian Futang this time,
, let him escape, do you think he will let you go!"
As she spoke, Widow Liu approached Sun Yuting and whispered into his ear: "As long as you come forward to testify against Tian Futang, I will marry you immediately."
There was a faint fragrance coming from her body, which made Sun Yuting suddenly feel uneasy.
His mind was buzzing and he nodded subconsciously: "Okay, okay, I'll help you testify against Tian Futang."
A sneer appeared on the corner of Widow Liu's mouth.
....
Just as Widow Liu was trying her best to persuade Sun Yuting, two guests came to Li Weidong's office, one was Sun Yuhou and the other was Sun Lanhua.
"Comrade Sun Yuhou, isn't the brick factory busy now?" Li Weidong saw the two people coming in and waved his hand to let Pengzi go out first. Because he had already seen that Sun Yuhou's face was solemn and he looked a little panicked. He should have something important to do.
talk.
After this period of training, Pengzi has been promoted from a bodyguard to a qualified assistant, and he instantly realized the problem.
He smiled at Sun Yuhou and closed the office door when he left the office.
The waxy yellow wooden door was closed, shutting out all the noise and worldly rules.
Sun Yuhou bowed his body and said: "Director Li, I took the liberty to come here today. I feel ashamed, but I have to come."
Sun Yuhou's honest and courteous look makes people feel pity for him.
Li Weidong quickly stood up and helped him up: "Sun Yuhou, we are old friends. If anything happens, just tell us directly."
"Oh, I really don't know how to talk about this!" Sun Yuhou sighed longly, opened his mouth, and couldn't say anything.
Li Weidong could only turn his attention to Sun Lanhua.
Sun Lanhua stood up, looked at Sun Yuhou angrily and said: "Dad, I don't agree to come to Director Li, but you insist on coming. Now, Director Li has taken time to see you, but you are speechless!"
"Sun Lanhua, why are you talking to your father?" Li Weidong scolded Sun Lanhua with a straight face.
Sun Lanhua was originally Li Weidong's little cook. Later, Li Weidong saw that she was talented and accepted her as a student. He often taught her some words, so she can be called half a teacher.
It is normal for teachers to reprimand students.
Sun Yuhou also knew this and didn't care. He quickly stood up and said, "Director Li, it's not Lanhua's fault, it's me..."
He gritted his teeth and said: "I know Sun Yuting made a big mistake, but he is my brother after all. I wonder if you can let him go for the sake of my old man. Even if I am not the director of the factory, I can
!”
Li Weidong frowned slightly when he heard this. He knew that Sun Yuhou was interceding for Sun Yuting today, but he never expected that Sun Yuhou would be willing to stop being the director of the brick factory for Sun Yuting.
You know, although Sun Yuhou has behaved very calmly since he became the director of the factory, his joyful eyes and full of energy betrayed him.
This old commune member who has been a farmer for half his life seems to have found a new direction in his life.
Although the brick kiln has been put into formal operation, and there are still brick-burning masters there to keep an eye on it on weekdays, Sun Yuhou is always worried and sleeps outside the brick kiln every night for fear that others will cause damage.
For Sun Yuhou, the brick kiln factory is his lifeblood!
"Dad, what are you talking about!" Sun Lanhua became anxious when she heard Sun Yuhou's words. She stood up and looked at Li Weidong: "Director Li, you must not listen to my father. The reason why he did this was all because of me.
Grandma forced it!"
"Old lady from the Sun family..." Li Weidong's face suddenly darkened, he looked at Sun Lanhua and said, "Lanhua, what is going on!"
"My grandma didn't know where she learned that Sun Yuting had been arrested by the village committee. She jumped off the kang at that time and clamored for my father to rescue Sun Yuting. My father also knew that if he broke the national law, he must be punished.
He was punished, so he refused to agree.
So my grandma started scolding my father, scolding him for being unfilial, scolding him for not caring about his younger brother...
My father was forced by grandma to have no choice but to come to the village committee to find you."
When Sun Lanhua mentioned that time, she was still very angry.
Li Weidong was also very angry at this time.
In the original work, Mrs. Sun appears as a positive image and is called the ancestor of the Sun family.
But think about it carefully, what exactly did Mrs. Sun do?
Sun Yuhou's father died early, and Sun Yuhou finally sent Sun Yuting to junior high school to study. After graduating from junior high school, Sun Yuting worked in a steel factory for a period of time, then resigned and returned to Shuangshui Village.
Mrs. Sun felt sorry for her younger son, so she gave Sun Yuhou's only cave dwelling to Sun Yuting.
You must know that at that time, all of Sun Yuhou's savings were spent on Sun Yuting's education. He had already married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to two children. Even so, Mrs. Sun would rather let his family live in the wilderness than feel sorry for the little one.
son.
Is this something a mother can do?
Later, Sun Yuting got married. Because life was difficult, he went to Sun Yuhou's house every three days to enjoy the autumn breeze. Sun Yuhou and his wife could not dislike it, otherwise Mrs. Sun would get angry!
It doesn't matter if she prefers her younger son, Mrs. Sun is just a disrespectful old woman.
Mrs. Sun is an old lady with small feet, bad eyesight, and her health has never been very good. She needs to take medicine all day long, and she is half paralyzed on the kang. Her legs and feet are inconvenient, and her family is poor. She is the one who suffers the most.
But because of the care of Sun Yuhou's wife, he didn't suffer much.
Instead of being grateful to her eldest daughter-in-law, she always bossed her around and often pretended to be confused to bully her.
What's even more outrageous is that living in such poverty, Sun Yuhou's family can only eat black buns and yellow buns. When there is a famine, they have to use wild vegetables to deal with it.
Mrs. Sun complained that her teeth and stomach were not good and she couldn't eat black and yellow steamed buns, so she asked Sun Yuhou to grind the little wheat at home into flour and make white flour steamed buns for her to enjoy alone.
You know, in Shuangshui Village, only the Tian Futang family can occasionally afford to eat white flour steamed buns.
In the original novel, Xiulian, Shaoan's newly married daughter-in-law, didn't understand the rules. When she saw a white-flour bun on the dinner table, she picked one up.
At that time, Mrs. Sun scolded her so much that she couldn't even lift her head.
If Xiulian hadn't really liked Sun Shaoan, she would have left at that time.
That's not all, Mrs. Sun often told Shaoping and Lanxiang to get up early because her eyes were uncomfortable, go outside to collect dewy grass leaves, and then carefully bring them back and help her put drops in her eyes.
The Sun family has paid so much, and the only thing Mrs. Sun did was pretend to be stupid and curse others, and then hide on the fire bed and count her pills.
This is not an old lady from a poor family. She is simply the ancestor of a big landowner.
Therefore, Li Weidong has no good impressions of this kind of old lady who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong and relies on her old age.
He thought for a moment, stared at Sun Yuhou and said: "Sun Yuhou, I can understand your difficulties, but you are not able to get involved in this matter. I advise you to tell Mrs. Sun when you go back. It is precisely because of her previous
Only through connivance did Sun Shaoan reach this point. The person who murdered Sun Yuting was none other than her!"
Although Sun Yuhou didn't know the meaning of this sentence, he also understood that Li Weidong would not help.
He was aware of Li Weidong's tendency to tell the truth, so he didn't say anything more. He stood up and smiled awkwardly: "Director Li, I'm sorry for disturbing you."
As he spoke, Sun Yuhou staggered away.
Sun Lanhua finally found the opportunity to come to the village committee. She originally wanted to stay with Li Weidong for a while, but she couldn't worry about Sun Yuhou.
So he turned his head, made a gesture to Li Weidong to see him in the middle of the night, and then followed Sun Yuhou away.
After the two left, Li Weidong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "According to Mrs. Sun's temperament, the Sun family will definitely cause trouble this time."
However, Li Weidong didn't care about this.
Now the dog-eat-dog fight between Tian Futang and Jin Junshan is about to reach its climax.
As long as we win over both of them and re-elect the leadership team of Shuangshui Village, we can ensure that the brick kiln factory can continue to operate smoothly.
By then, Li Weidong will be able to return to the capital with peace of mind.
It has been more than three months since he left the capital. It's not that Li Weidong can't adapt to life in Shuangshui Village, but he misses the women in the capital... Bah, it's the poverty alleviation workshop of the capital rolling mill.
Now that the workshop has developed to a certain scale and can provide sufficient funds and adequate shelter, Li Weidong can also make his next plan.
