Spending the whole morning looking for Qi Wang is already the limit of what these villagers can do, and they all feel that they have done enough.
After all, to them, Qi Wang is really just an insignificant person, no one in the whole village is related to him by blood, his relatives have died long ago, and there has been no contact between them for so many years , even if he really died, it would not have any impact on everyone.
Qi Wang is an outlier in the village. He is the extra person in the village. No one will take him seriously, and naturally no one will feel sad because of his death.
"It snowed so much yesterday, if he hadn't come home, he might have frozen to death in some corner long ago, why are we looking for him?"
"Yeah, the big guys didn't do what happened to him. We really don't need to go through all this for him. It's meaningless."
"With that kind of skill, why don't we paste a few more matchboxes? Why do you have to go to him?"
"Yeah, he's of no use to our village. If he's gone, he'll be gone. Is it worth looking for him?"
The two brothers, Qin Shulin and Qin Shuzhi, took the lead in expressing their indifference to Qi Wang's disappearance, and the other villagers immediately climbed up the pole. Everyone felt that Qi Wang disappeared as soon as he disappeared, and there was no need to look for him everywhere.
Don't say that he just disappeared now, even if he died, it doesn't matter to everyone.
Seeing that everyone looked like they didn't want to continue looking, Qin Qihe thought about it, so he also spoke.
"That's all right, if you don't look for it, then don't look for it. It seems that Qi Wang was naughty and hid somewhere. He is such a big man. He should know what is good and what is bad. We don't have to worry about him. Don't look for it, just go home, this time I really troubled you, I will come to the door later and thank you all."
The village cadres tacitly did not mention what happened at the village chief's house yesterday, so not many people knew that their family had actually taken money from the Qi family.
Zhang Hongxing, Chen Aiguo, and the other village cadres all have their own little thoughts, and they kept silent in a tacit understanding, keeping the secret between them. After all, the less people know about this matter, the more important it will be for them. The good thing is that if there are many people, even if they can pry money out of Qin Qihe's hands, how much can they get
After all the villagers had dispersed, the village secretary Xu Qingfeng said abruptly.
"If I remember correctly, Qi Wang should have said yesterday that if the village doesn't give him justice, he will go to the county town to seek justice from the Public Security Bureau."
When Xu Qingfeng said this, everyone remembered that Qi Wang had indeed said such a thing last night.
It’s just that at that time, none of the big guys took Qi Wang’s words to heart, they all felt that Qi Wang was just struggling uselessly, he was just threatening the big guys verbally, and no one would let his threats go In their hearts, naturally no one took those words seriously.
After all, Qi Wang only went to school in the village primary school, and his academic performance has always been poor. After attending the village primary school for five years, he only knew his own name. But I know very well in my heart that since I was a child, I have basically been in a state of being suppressed all the time, and I have never had any good education at all. It took him a hundred guts to think about it, and he would not dare to go outside the village, let alone go to the public security bureau in the county town by himself.
He didn't have that vision, insight, nor the guts. After all, the education he received from childhood had already imprisoned his thoughts. He was "imprisoned" in Taohua Village.
"Secretary Xu, I think what you said is a bit mysterious. We all know what kind of character Qi Wang is. With his personality, he should not do such deviant things."
Qin Qihe took the lead and said that Qi Wang was brought up by himself. Qin Qihe knew exactly what kind of person he was all these years, and he didn't think Qi Wang had the guts to run to the Outside the village, let alone the county seat, he went to file a complaint, so he felt that this was not true.
However, Xu Qingfeng felt that Qin Qihe had taken it for granted. Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, not to mention people. They are really pushing people to a desperate situation. It makes people feel that they can't live anymore.
The honest people in the village who have been bullied are much stronger than those vicious people when they explode. How can Qin Qihe conclude that Qi Huang will always be bullied by them and will never explode
Last night, Xu Qingfeng saw it for real, Qi Wang was beaten badly, there was no good skin on his face, and his body was not much better, and the ragged cotton jacket and trousers he was wearing, how could he be beaten? Against the wind and cold? He suffered such a serious injury, how could he give up so easily
Which man can not have a little blood
"You can't say that, maybe he is really willing to go all out, and he might not say it."
If he had been bullied in the first two years, Qi Wang would have suppressed the matter deeply, as if nothing had happened, but now it is different from the past. Then there was a change, no matter what they thought in their hearts, at least it was said above, they are not allowed to talk about things based on their ingredients, and do whatever they want by virtue of their ingredients.
This kind of policy is promulgated from above, and each village must broadcast it through the loudspeakers in the brigade, and it is impossible to hide it. After all, Qi Wang lived in this village, and he had heard of those policies before, and Hearing what Qin Qihe said earlier, Qi Wang wanted to divide the field and go out to live elsewhere, which proves that the child is not as heartless as he appears on the surface, and he has his own plans in his heart.
In the past years, maybe he has been holding back and waiting for an opportunity. Now that the opportunity comes, he will naturally take the opportunity to seek justice for himself.
It's just that the other village cadres felt that Qi Wang didn't have the guts to leave Taohua Village and go to the county seat. They all felt that his own identity was there. He had been suppressed by the people in the village for the past ten years. On a day when people are not ghosts, if such a person dares to go to the county police station, it is tantamount to saying that a landlord went to the Revolutionary Committee to make trouble, and he would not dare to borrow his courage.
Seeing that everyone was so determined, Xu Qingfeng shook his head and said nothing.
He is getting old, and he is about to retire. Now he can ignore things and let the big guys make decisions. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with him, even if Qi Wang wants to Revenge or something can't be found on his head.
Several village cadres held a brief meeting, briefly discussed Qi Wang's matter, and then left it behind, without mentioning anything else.
After going back, Qin Qihe thought about it, and felt that he was still a little bit uncomfortable. After all, he still took Xu Qingfeng's words to heart, and after thinking about it, he still felt that he had to go to the county seat. See See if Qi Wang went to the county or not.
Qin Qihe entrusted this matter to his youngest son, Qin Shuzhi. The youngest son's mind is more flexible than that of the eldest son, so he can handle it anyway, and he can speak logically when he goes out to do business. It looked like that kind of thing, and it was just right to let him go.
"Let me go to the County Public Security Bureau to look for it, and ask if Qi Wang has gone there? Dad, why do you have such an idea? I don't want to go there, Dad, you know that Qi Wang is a mouse Courageous, he would never dare to make trouble, why do you have to let us go there? Isn't this just looking for trouble? "
Qin Shuzhi didn't want to go to the county seat. After all, it snowed heavily yesterday. The snow on the ground was already up to the knees. He didn't even talk about riding a bicycle. If he was driving in the snow today, he would be tossing to death. Yes, he was a little nervous, and didn't want to take the trouble to go to the county town for a while.
Seeing Qin Shuzhi like this, Qin Qihe's expression turned cold instantly, he glared at his son, and said angrily.
"If you are told to go, then go. What are you talking about here? If he really went to the police station and sued you, what do you think the two of you will end up with? Don't say you didn't do anything to him, You were born by me, I know your virtues, it’s fine to deceive others with those words, don’t try to deceive me, even if it’s for your own sake, you have to go there.”
While they were talking, a young girl in a water-green padded jacket came in from outside the yard. After entering the yard, the little girl stopped and gave a crisp cry.
"Uncle, aunt, are you there?"
After hearing this familiar voice, Wang Chunmei handed over the affairs of the kitchen to the eldest daughter-in-law, and came out quickly by herself. When she saw the beautiful girl with two twisted braids outside, Wang Chunmei's face instantly changed. Then he brought out a smile.
"Jiaojiao, why are you here? It's freezing outside, you see your little face is flushed from the cold, come inside quickly."
Saying that, Wang Chunmei went forward, took the little girl's tender hand, and led her towards the upper room.
Xu Jiaojiao pursed her lips, and a cute smile appeared on her face. She let Wang Chunmei pull her, and followed her into the house obediently.
"Auntie, is my uncle there?"
Wang Chunmei pulled Xu Jiaojiao into the room, then moved a bench by the stove, placed her on a seat, made her a glass of brown sugar water, and asked her to hold it to warm her hands.
After finishing her busy work, Wang Chunmei looked at the beautiful little girl in front of her, and liked it no matter how she looked at her. She always had a smile on her face, like a blooming chrysanthemum.
Xu Jiaojiao is only seventeen years old this year. She is fair-skinned and pretty. But she is a good hand at work. She can do all the work at home and abroad beautifully, and she is also good at cooking. She can make the simplest dishes full of color and flavor, which is bigger than that of the state-run restaurant. The chef did a great job.
If it wasn't for her being too close to their family, Wang Chunmei would have wanted Xu Jiaojiao to be her daughter-in-law. If she married any family as her daughter-in-law, that family would be very popular.
There is no daughter-in-law more likable than her in this world.
Xu Jiaojiao's mother, Qin Hemiao, is Qin Qihe's eldest sister. She married Xu Dachuan, a butcher in the village. With the man's ability to butcher pigs, the family's life is quite good, and Qin Hemiao is very caring. A woman who cares about her natal family, after getting married, she still misses her natal family all the time. Whenever her in-law's family has any good things, she will basically send a share to her natal family. Over the past few years, their family has benefited a lot from Qin Hemiao , so the relationship with Qin Hemiao's family is quite good.
The two families live quite close, and because of their good relationship, the juniors often come here and are familiar with each other. Wang Chunmei is not a good-tempered person, but when facing people from the Xu family, her temper can be regarded as Xu Jiaojiao likes this aunt very much.
At this time, Qin Qihe, who was talking to Qin Shuzhi in the room, made a final decision, and asked Qin Shuzhi to pack up and go to the county seat, while he tidied up his emotions, came out of the room, and saw Xu Jiaojiao sitting in front of the stove At that time, Qin Qihe laughed, and the expression on his face became extremely gentle.
"Jiaojiao, why are you here? But what's going on at home?"
Qin Qihe treated his niece very well, with a smile on his always serious face, not to mention how amiable he was.
Xu Jiaojiao looked at Qin Qihe, and snapped out her reason for coming.
"Uncle, my mother asked me to come and inform you that my third sister gave birth to a fat boy in the county hospital. She asked me to ask if we are going to the county town together to give gifts."
"What did you say? Did Xiaomeng give birth? Didn't she have to wait half a month before giving birth? Why did she give birth suddenly now? Did something happen to give birth prematurely?"
Xu Xiaomeng is Qin Hemiao's third daughter. In the first few years, the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University recruited students. Relying on Qin Qihe's recommendation, Xu Xiaomeng went to university. After graduation, she was assigned to work as a clerk in the grain and oil bureau of the county. Lin Huai'an, an educated youth who came down from the city.
The young couple had a good relationship because they were in free love, but Xu Xiaomeng had never had any children after marriage, which became the heart disease of the Qin family. She finally conceived a child after three years of marriage. Both the children, Qin Hemiao and Qin Qihe, were quite caring. Qin Hemiao had been thinking about going to the county town to serve her in the first two days of her birth, but she didn't expect that she would start it half a month earlier.
The fact that the third girl has no children has always been a big issue in Qin Hemiao's heart. After all, no matter how good the relationship between the two of them is, if they never have children, even the best relationship will cause division in the future.
Now the educated youth can't go back to the city, if they can go back to the city, what if Lin Huai'an and Xu Xiaomeng get divorced without children? This man can still be a sweet pastry after divorce, but if a woman divorces because she can't have children, no matter how beautiful or capable she is, she will become rotten yellow mud, and no one can look at her.
So they are very nervous about this baby. If they can give birth to a fat boy in one fell swoop, the relationship between the husband and wife will be better than before, and their marriage will become stronger, and they can firmly Grab the big ship Lin Huai'an.
"Having a baby is a big deal. Let's go. We're definitely going. When are you going to leave? I'll ask your aunt to pack up. Later, I'll go to Old Wangtou to pick up an ox cart. Let's go to the county town to congratulate. "
Not to mention where Lin Huai'an's own family background is, just because Lin Huai'an is currently doing a job like a clerk in the county, it is worth building a good relationship with them, not to mention Lin Huai'an's family conditions. It is impossible for Huai'an to stay in the county seat all his life, he will go to the provincial capital sooner or later, and it will be good for them to have a good relationship with him.
Xu Jiaojiao saw that they said without any hesitation that they would go to the county together, the smile on her face grew wider, but then Xu Jiaojiao seemed to remember something, and asked a question.
"By the way, Uncle, did Brother Ah Wang find it?"
