"He Zheng, you beast, you actually want to drive me away. Are you still a human being? I ask you!"
He Rongguang had never been so angry or heartbroken as he was now. He had given up on the behavior of his son in front of him in an instant and was in despair.
"Yes, I am not a human being. When you and your mother did all kinds of evil in the village, did you ever think about Xiaohong and me? For power, fame, and profit, you would sacrifice the happiness and interests of others to fulfill your own hearts.
That little calculation, you have to ask your conscience, have you lived up to the example of a village chief, fulfilled the responsibilities of a father, or even a husband?"
The two fathers and sons were at loggerheads, and the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point. He Rongguang stood up suddenly, and a fight was about to begin between the two men.
But He Rongguang could see from his son's eyes that he seemed to have rebelled and had completely given up on him and his wife.
If it wasn't for the task assigned by County Magistrate Ye, if it wasn't for wanting his son to support him, He Rongguang would have wanted to slap him twice, or even beat him to death.
Now he understands that what his son said is correct. He was driven away. As long as all the villagers know about it, it will definitely not work. There are village rules in the village, and everyone no longer agrees with him being the village chief.
He was driven away from Hejiacun.
In order to ease the atmosphere, He Zheng, who raised his hand to hit He Zheng, weakened, threw down his hand angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "He Zheng, you are my son, we father and son cannot communicate well.
For a moment?”
Perhaps Zhu Hong pulled his clothes, but He Zheng also knew at this time that he had gone too far, so he sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette, choked twice, and coughed.
"Husband, don't be angry. If you have anything to say, talk to me. We are all a family."
Seeing Zhu Hong's comforting look, He Zheng gently patted her hand and told her not to worry.
"He Zheng, dad knows that he was wrong. The superiors did not remove me from my position this time because no problem was found. I know you hate me and your mother, but now I know that I was wrong. Your mother really shouldn't have done what he did.
It’s such an outrageous thing, but can’t you give me a chance?”
He Zheng raised his head slightly, took a puff of cigarette, and spit it out. The smoke lingered for a while before he said: "You said you were wrong, but the village didn't give you a chance. Even if I accept you back, I can make up for your past mistakes."
, but what do the villagers, clan leaders and elders say, will they accept it?"
Seeing that his son was worried about this, He Rongguang couldn't help but think about it and immediately said: "He Zheng, as long as you accept dad back, dad will have a way to make the villagers accept me."
"Okay, but you don't want to be the village chief anymore. Even if the villagers agree, I don't agree. If you want to have a good talk with me, just wait until the villagers accept you!"
Seeing that his son still has himself in his heart, He Rongguang, although there is no smile on his face, is still a little relieved in his heart. It seems that the relationship between father and son is not at the point where they will fight if they disagree.
But when he saw Zhu Hong twisting her butt and leaving, he felt more and more that he couldn't let this woman be with his son. She was just a vixen and would destroy his son He Zheng sooner or later.
But right now, he wanted to find the clan leader and the villagers, so he went to the clan leader's house without stopping.
Seeing He Rongguang coming, the clan leader was also shocked. He hated the village chief very much, but He Rongguang suddenly knelt in front of him, and he couldn't bear to beat him away with a cane.
However, after He Rongguang confessed, he was willing to give 300,000 yuan to the villagers so that they could give him a chance to change his ways.
When the frowning patriarch heard what he said, his eyes lit up. As the head of Hejia Village, He Rongguang had made contributions, so the patriarch was quite concerned about his return.
Of course, as long as He Rongguang is the village chief, the clan leader will receive at least several hundred yuan in personal compensation from He Rongguang every year.
The temporary meeting was mobilized by the whole village and presided over by the clan leader himself. It was held at the He's Ancestral Hall at 8:30 pm.
Erdan also went, but when the clan leader brought He Rongguang out, all the villagers looked at each other, and many people were discussing below, wasn't this person driven away? Why did he come back again?
Erdan was also surprised, but wanted to see what the clan leader was going to do. After all, if a precedent was set, then anyone could break the rules in the future.
He Rongguang took out good cigarettes and distributed them one by one, and also prepared candies. Everyone had a pack of cigarettes. Although they were not considered good cigarettes compared to those on the market, in Hejia Village, these were high-end cigarettes.
Some villagers didn't want to smoke at all, and they all gritted their teeth and said that no matter what the patriarch said, they would never allow this man to come back.
"After careful consideration by several of our elders, in response to He Rongguang's deep repentance, we agreed to his personal application. Comrade He Rongguang raised 300,000 yuan within three days and distributed it equally to each of us in Hejia Village.
, and voluntarily resigned from the position of village chief. Anyway, the general election is about to take place, and everyone can choose another village chief by then. I don’t know what everyone’s opinion is.”
The words of the patriarch are authoritative. At first, everyone thought that the patriarch was engaging in malpractice for personal gain. However, the 300,000 yuan was not a small sum. It was divided among dozens of households in Hejia Village, and each household could get several dollars.
Thousands of dollars, for such a poor place, when thinking about the imminent tourism development, the villagers just puffed up their cheeks and tied their heads. Those who swore not to agree to He Rongguang's return all lowered their heads for the sake of money.
Erdan did not say anything or speak, but did not raise his hands in approval. However, the minority obeyed the majority, and the result was approved by the clan leader.
Indeed, most people agreed to let He Rongguang return to Hejia Village for the sake of money. They felt that as long as He Rongguang was not the village chief, it would not matter if he came back to be a villager. Having money in his pocket would be like pie falling from the sky.
Same thing, why not?
When Erdan returned home, He Xiaoqin asked what happened. After hearing Erdan explain the situation, Tian Min immediately said: "If He Rongguang comes back, do you think Xiaohong and Azheng can trust them?"
Erdan waved his hand and said: "Xiaohong and Azheng can still be trusted, but He Rongguang has been here for so many years this time, and the price is only 300,000. I can see from his eyes that he will definitely not do anything good when he comes back."
Tian Min glanced at He Xiaoqin, frowned and said, "Erdan, what should we do? Mr. Yi is cooperating with us now. If He Rongguang steps in, what will we do?"
Erdan has also thought about this problem, but he is not the village chief, so there is no need to be afraid. If he is not the village chief, what kind of splash can he cause?
After hearing Erdan's analysis, everyone still focused on the next operation of the Animal Kingdom. Erdan told a few of them: "I plan to turn Sister Xiaoqin's house into a farmhouse. Secretary Cui reminded me last time
Now that our village is well-known, as soon as it opens up, there will definitely be no shortage of tourists. Then eating is a big problem. We can’t open a hotel here for the time being, so we can open a rural music restaurant, Xiaoqin and Tian Min’s
The food is done well. You can handle it when the time comes. We can discuss this matter tomorrow. It’s too late. Let’s go back and rest!”
When Tian Min left, Erdan quietly said: "I will come to your house to sleep tonight."
