Shen Wannian has not come to the farm in recent days. In the past, he would come to the farm to take care of him. In his opinion, Liang Fei is his benefactor. In addition, he was a farmer when he was young. He is a good hand and wants to help Liang Fei manage the farm well.
The workers gathered together in groups of three or five and started chatting animatedly.
"I heard that Village Chief Shen rented the land at a high price and then embezzled the money."
"I'll go, there's something like this. You can't talk nonsense about it."
"By the way, I've heard that too. I've heard that the subsidies given to us by the government are inconsistent with the figures given. The money is not a small sum."
"Shen Wannian has been the village chief all his life, he won't be like this, right?"
"Brother, who can tell this kind of thing clearly? There are a few people in this world who don't love money. I've heard that Little Apple used to work in a pedicure shop. In order to make money, I heard that he even sold his body. Just to buy high-priced medicine for Shen Wannian, now that he gets a good opportunity, of course he will take advantage of it."
A few people started chatting with each other. Most of what they talked about was about Shen Wannian. It was all side news. As Little Apple said, too many people have slandered Shen Wannian. He Even if you want to serve the villagers well, you will be misunderstood by others.
Liang Fei coughed dryly, and the workers did not dare to talk nonsense.
Liang Fei never wanted to get involved in Shenjiagou's affairs, but in his own territory, he didn't want to hear such words.
"I believe everyone is very familiar with Village Chief Shen's character. Since there are rumors that he is corrupt, you can sue him. Now the country is quite aggressive in punishing village officials. You can send representatives to audit the accounts. , there is no need to make irresponsible remarks here, if Village Chief Shen really does something that is sorry to the villagers, I believe that everyone will not let him go."
As soon as Liang Fei spoke, the workers immediately became energetic.
"Mr. Liang, it's not that we are making irresponsible remarks here, it's just that there are too many rumors about the village chief in the village. A few days ago, someone actually went to the village chief's home to check the accounts, but the village chief refused to take out the accounts. Originally, you said, is there something fishy in this?"
The person who spoke was Shen Wannian's cousin. More than ten years ago, the relationship between the two families was relatively good. But later, something big happened in the village. Many villagers moved out of the village. Even Shen Wanjun left. He Although he and Shen Wannian are cousins, their relationship is not good.
Shen Wanjun also had full opinions on Shen Wannian.
"Uncle Shen, you are also an old man in the village. If the village chief really doesn't want to take out the account book, I think he has his reasons. In my opinion, Village Chief Shen is not a bad person. He is already at his age. If you want to be the village chief just for money, don't talk about it here. If he hears these words, he will definitely be sad."
Liang Fei knew clearly that someone must be behind this matter, otherwise, the rumors would not spread so fast.
As soon as Liang Fei's words came out, the villagers no longer dared to make irresponsible remarks, and they all calmed down a lot.
Although the workers didn't dare to talk nonsense, they just didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of Liang Fei, but they kept discussing things about Shen Wannian behind his back.
The whole village fell into a downturn, and everyone kept spreading rumors about Shen Wannian.
I always wanted Shen Wannian to take out the account books and check the accounts.
In fact, once the account books were taken out, as long as the accounts were correct, the villagers did not dare to say anything more.
But Shen Wannian was also a bad-tempered person and refused to take out the account book.
For several days, Shen Wannian didn't go out. Every day, people would come to his home to make irresponsible remarks. Village Chief Shen listened to some of it at first, but later, he couldn't stand it anymore and started quarreling with the villagers.
His health is not good to begin with, how could he withstand such a blow.
After a few days, the village chief became ill.
It's almost election time, but the village chief has fallen.
Little Apple called Liang Fei several times and asked him to go and see his grandpa.
Liang Fei put down his work and moved forward immediately.
When he saw the village chief lying on the bed, he was too sick to get out of bed, and his face was quite ugly.
The village chief's health is not good to begin with, so he must not be angry, otherwise it will not do any good to his health.
After he saw Liang Fei, he sighed helplessly: "Hey, what a sin, what a sin."
Shen Wannian was very sad. He always believed that as long as he did things well in the village, the villagers would know everything he had done. He did not ask for anyone's praise, he only wanted to have a clear conscience.
However, it was not until now that he discovered that the villagers had always doubted him, thinking that he had stolen their money.
Shen Wannian's life was very difficult. Even so, he never spent any money from the villagers. He only wanted to spend all the money on the villagers.
His heart was really cold, that's why he couldn't get sick.
"Village Chief Shen, what's wrong with you?"
Liang Fei stepped forward, not wanting to mention the villagers' matters anymore, for fear that Village Chief Shen would feel uncomfortable.
But the village chief shook his head repeatedly: "I am not sick physically, but I am sick in my heart."
Liang Fei first felt the pulse of Village Chief Shen. His body was not seriously injured, but he was suffering from general weakness and headache due to shortness of breath and heart attack.
This kind of disease can be recovered without taking medicine, but this heart disease requires heart medicine. If Shen Wannian wants to recover, he must untie the knot in his heart.
"Grandpa, I have already said that we are no longer the village chief. We should take out the accounts and let the villagers take a good look, otherwise they will still think that we have embezzled."
Little Apple couldn't stand it anymore. In recent days, her grandfather had been insulted by others in various ways. She was afraid of standing up for him, but she couldn't help.
Shen Wannian sighed helplessly, and every time he thought of all the vicious words and doubts said by the villagers, he couldn't accept it.
"Apple, what do you know? If there is a suitable candidate in the village, I will definitely not be the village chief. However, now Shen Dasuo wants to be the village chief. He is too greedy and cannot take on this important task. If he is allowed to If you become the village chief, the villagers will definitely not have good fruits to eat in the future."
Shen Wannian has long seen through that Shen Dashuo is not a good person. The reason why he wants to be the village chief is because he wants to have power and have more.
Because in the past year, the compensation money allocated by superior leaders plus the money given by major merchants, the total amount of money is not a small amount. Shen Wannian has always kept the accounts very well and has never embezzled anyone. The money is divided, but if Shen Dasuo becomes the village chief, the money will really be lost.
"I don't know Shen Dashuo very well, but in my opinion, you still have to put your body first."
Liang Fei kindly advised him, after all, Mr. Shen was already over seventy years old and it was really not suitable for him to be angry all the time. (To be continued)
