Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 2403 Prestige
When the torch was extinguished, Niu Xiaoqiang had already walked in front of the crowd.

Before he could speak, the little old man said again: "Secretary Niu, I am the village head of Niujiabao. Last time when I went to the town to do some business, I took a look at you from afar."

Facing the enthusiastic old village chief, Niu Xiaoqiang was very polite.He bowed slightly towards the other party, and kept nodding to greet the other party.

The old village chief felt that he had more face on his face, so he smiled and said a few polite words.

Then the two talked about the business, and Niu Xiaoqiang asked: "Old village chief, what's the situation here?"

The old village chief sighed and explained the situation again.His statement is basically the same as Li Fangfang's, and there is not much difference. ,

After hearing this, Niu Xiaoqiang turned his head to look at the crowd blocking the gate of the yard, and persuaded him: "Fathers and folks, I have already learned about the affairs of Li Fangfang's family. Her brother-in-law hacked and injured Secretary Wu. I also feel very sorry for this incident. However, we should not act irrationally because of this. Li Fangfang’s uncle should be punished by the law. I know, what would she think? Do you think everyone is trying to smear her face?"

When Niu Xiaoqiang said this, he changed the subject: "According to my point of view, I think it would be better for Li Fangfang's family to apologize to Secretary Wu face to face. Conflicts are not terrible, as long as they can be resolved. We are all fellow villagers. Why bother?" How can you do it so badly?"

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and then one of the young people said: "Secretary Niu, Secretary Wu is such a good person, he shouldn't be treated like this. We can’t swallow the pain of beheading Secretary Wu! Their family must move out, otherwise we won’t agree!”

Others joined in and demanded that Li Fangfang's family move out of Niujiapu immediately.

It took Niu Xiaoqiang a lot of effort to calm down everyone's emotions. He thought to himself: People in the mountains are more accepting of death, and this time it may not be easy to handle.

While he was thinking this in his heart, he continued to persuade: "I can understand everyone's feelings, but one size counts for one size. Now Li Fangfang's family has realized their mistake. As the saying goes, if a prodigal son returns money, why can't we What about a chance for their family to reform? If someone makes a mistake and corrects it immediately, and we still can’t tolerate him, then it’s us who made the mistake, isn’t that the reason?”

As soon as Niu Xiaoqiang finished speaking, a woman's voice sounded behind him: "Secretary Niu is right, we should give those who have made mistakes a chance to reform themselves."

Everyone turned their heads and found that it was Wu Ping who spoke.Wu Ping was also accompanied by Tian Laosan and Niu Dazhuang, who probably came to deal with this matter after hearing the news.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Wu Ping walked to the gate of the yard and untied the rope tied to the gate with her own hands.

Then she took down the rope and threw it on the ground, and said righteously: "First of all, I am very grateful to everyone for their maintenance and support. This is my honor. It proves that I, Wu Ping, have done something in Hope New District. What everyone has done, Li Fangfang's family has already paid the price for their mistakes. Why should we force people into this? As the person involved, I hope everyone can calm down and look at this matter rationally. Today is a new society. , it’s not the evil old society, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, if you really drive Li Fangfang’s family out of the house and let them live outside, what’s the difference between this and the bandits and bullies in the old society?”

Wu Ping's aura was so strong that the villagers present didn't even dare to take a breath when she spoke.

Wu Ping changed the subject here: "Fathers and folks, if you still support me, please go home and prepare for the New Year. I thank you all."

The stubborn young people were all speechless. After looking at each other, they finally nodded slightly, greeted Wu Ping a few times, and went home.

Driven by them, other villagers also went home one after another, which shows how high Wu Ping's prestige is.

Seeing this, Wu Ping breathed a sigh of relief. She opened the courtyard door and said to Li Fangfang, "Li Fangfang, please take us in for a sit down. I want to say something to your parents-in-law."

Li Fangfang looked ashamed, nodded with her head down, and led Wu Ping, Niu Dazhuang, and Tian Laosan into her courtyard.

Niu Xiaoqiang is not an official, so he has no plan to follow up.Unexpectedly, Wu Ping took the initiative to ask him to go in and sit down with him.

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't refuse, so he had to follow in.

The conditions of Li Fangfang's family are very poor, the house is very dilapidated, and the family can't even make up a table of mahjong with stools.

Wu Ping and the others made room for each other a few times, and the final result was that Tian Laosan stood while Wu Ping, Niu Dazhuang and Niu Xiaoqiang sat.

Li Fangfang poured boiling water for each of the four people with porcelain bowls at home, then went into the back room and called out the parents-in-law who were taking care of the children.

The two old men were wearing ragged cotton jackets, and the cotton wool inside the jackets had been exposed.Niu Xiaoqiang looked down and found that Li Fangfang's father-in-law was not wearing shoes. It was winter and the temperature was so low that his soles were cracked.

The two old men didn't dare to look at Wu Ping at all, they lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Seeing this, Wu Ping sighed faintly: "You two old people, your life is already going through such a difficult time, but you still want to have a baby. This must be wrong. As the person in charge of Hope New District, I have I have the responsibility, and at the same time have the obligation to implement the national policy. I feel very sorry for the matter of your eldest son. I will not talk about the reasons for it. I’m not here today to ask questions, but to help your family solve practical difficulties.”

The more the two old men listened, their heads lowered. When Wu Ping stopped, Li Fangfang's father-in-law couldn't hold it anymore. He knelt down in front of Wu Ping with a plop, slapped himself hard, and said apologetically with tears in his eyes. discourse.

Wu Ping hurriedly reached out to help the old man up: "Old man, don't kneel down to me, I can't bear it, I have received your apology, and I have forgiven you, let the past things pass, we are still here Let's talk about solving difficult things."

After Wu Ping finished speaking, she wanted to help the old man to sit in her seat, but the old man refused to agree. After a stalemate between the two sides, Wu Ping had to give up.
