Chapter 82 Conflict
Director Wu and Zheng Changsheng have been living in peace and harmony for more than two years. Anyway, Zheng Changsheng's mischief is in the countryside and not in the village. Director Wu can't control it and doesn't bother to do it.

Every time Zheng Changsheng comes back, it's usually at night. As he gets older, his pockets are no longer so bulging. Nowadays, the eyes of little girls are getting higher and higher. They can no longer look down on small bosses like Zheng Changsheng.Now every time Zheng Changsheng brings back someone else's mother-in-law. If it is inconvenient to live in the countryside, he brings her back to the village to avoid being noticed.

Director Wu was even more lazy to care about the messy affairs between men and women. He was still hoping that one day some woman's husband would find out. He would be filled with anger and chase after him with a rake. He would suddenly give Zheng Changsheng a rake and let him die in the world. From now on pure.

Several times Zheng Changsheng remembered that he was still the village's economic consultant, so he would walk to the village committee with his hands behind his back to take a look. Director Wu was also polite when he saw him, passing cigarettes and tea, and laughing, In my heart, I hope that this god of plague will get out of here quickly.

During the Spring Festival, Director Wu would come over to see Zheng Changsheng, carrying two tubes of fish and one chicken, as if to summarize their peaceful year.

The two people had been polite like this for more than two years, and finally a conflict broke out.

The reason is that the reservoir in the mountain behind the village needs to be renovated, and I heard that the money for it has been allocated.Zheng Changsheng went to Director Wu to take on this project, but Director Wu still had a laugh with him and said, you are not an engineer, you own a restaurant and a massage parlor, why should you take on this project?

Zheng Changsheng was unhappy and looked at him sideways. What's wrong with the guy who runs a hotel and massage parlor? I'm not an engineer, but some of the customers in my massage parlor are engineering.

Zheng Changsheng's original plan was the same. He wanted to take over the project from the village and then outsource it to others, making a fortune in the process.

In the end, Director Wu did not agree, but he also did not refuse directly. Instead, he told him, Boss Zheng, it’s not that I don’t want to give you this project, but I can’t make the decision. This project requires a bidding process. , our village committee has no choice.

Zheng Changsheng was angry, and he yelled: "This is unreasonable. I am the village's economic consultant. What is an economic consultant? I have no say in the village's projects, and I am still acting as a consultant."

Director Wu laughed secretly in his heart. You are the Bird Consultant. You are the only one who is serious about coaxing you. Go to the village and ask if anyone in the village knows. There is also an economic consultant in the village. He is on the list of the village committee. You?
Director Wu smiled apologetically and said to Zheng Changsheng: "In this case, this matter is really decided by the higher-ups. Our village committee cannot make the decision. You, Boss Zheng, have great powers. Either you go to the higher-ups and ask. If the higher-ups say this project can be If you consider giving it to you, I will definitely support you, okay?"

At this point, Zheng Changsheng was helpless.

This project did go through the bidding process later, but the unit that issued the bid was their village committee. Director Wu and Zheng Changsheng said that he could not make the decision. In fact, they were lying to him. The unit that issued the bid still had some decision-making power. .

The final winner of the bid for this project was the engineering team of a relative of Director Wu. As soon as Zheng Changsheng heard the news, he was furious and felt that he had been tricked by Director Wu.He ran to the village committee, made a scene, and even said:

"Wu, let me put it here. As long as I, Zheng Changsheng, don't agree, this project won't start!"

Director Wu was also annoyed. He slapped the table and cursed: "Zheng, I've been putting up with you for a long time. You consider me being polite to you a blessing. You thought I was really afraid of you. This project will work rain or shine. It's finalized." When construction starts, it will definitely start with great success!"

Director Wu and Zheng Changsheng, the boat of their friendship was completely overturned.

On the day when the construction started, Zheng Changsheng led a dozen people and passed by with the guys in their hands. The engineering team was also on guard. Dozens of people were waiting for them. The guys were on the construction site.

The men and horses from both sides fought on the spot on the top of the reservoir dam.

The fight was fierce and soon turned into a vicious group incident. During the beating process, someone was pushed from the top of the dam more than ten meters high and fell to death on the spot. There were also more than a dozen Those who were seriously injured were sent to the hospital, and two died on the same day after treatment failed.One of them is Zheng Changsheng's son and Yaoyao's brother.Zheng Changsheng and the boss of the opposing engineering team were both arrested by the police. Zheng Changsheng was the main culprit and perpetrator of this vicious incident. He was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment.

My brother died, my father went to jail, and my mother ran away from home for many years without any news.Zheng Changsheng's criminal case also comes with civil compensation. His shop, his savings and their home are all gone.Yaoyao was only in her first year of high school at that time. She felt that she had no idea what to do next.

During that time, when Yaoyao was in school, other people looked at her strangely.Every morning when she wakes up in the dormitory, she waits until other classmates have left before getting up.She really didn't want to go to the classroom, the cafeteria, or the playground. When she walked past people, she could always hear rustling sounds from behind, and she knew it was talking about her.

Even when she walked, she clamped her body with her hands. When she saw the crowd, she always walked around it. If she couldn't get around it, she lowered her head and quickly passed by.

A relative came to school, found her, handed her a bank card, and told her that her mother asked her to hand over the card. The card was her mother's name, and the password was Yaoyao's birthday.Yaoyao asked her relatives where her mother was now, and her relatives said she didn't know, so she received a courier. Her mother sent the card to her and asked her to pass it on to Yaoyao. The sender still used a fake name.

"Just wait, your mother said she would call you and ask you to wait." The relative told Yaoyao.

Yaoyao took the card and hurried to the bank teller machine near the school to swipe it. There was 3 yuan in it.Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, at least her life was settled for the time being and she didn't have to worry anymore.

Yaoyao remembers what her relatives said to her. She is waiting every day for her mother to call her.When they were in class, it was stipulated that they were not allowed to bring mobile phones. Yaoyao not only brought them, but also turned them on. She was afraid that when her mother called, she would turn off her phone and not receive it.

After waiting like this for two days, one day at noon, Yaoyao was in the cafeteria. Just as she was ordering her meal, the phone in her pocket rang. Yaoyao quickly put the food on the table next to her, picked up the phone and looked. Yaoyao quickly picked up a landline phone number that started with 0571, and her mother’s voice came from the phone:

"Yaoyao..."

My mother just called Yaoyao and started to cry. Yaoyao also cried.

The cafeteria was too noisy, and her mother's side seemed to be noisy as well. She didn't hear clearly what her mother said to her next.

Yaoyao took the phone and ran outside the canteen, calling mom, mom.Mom seemed to be in a hurry and had no time. She finally told Yaoyao that she had no way to come back now and asked Yaoyao to take care of herself. She would put money into the card every month. She reassured Yaoyao that she would just take care of herself. Just mind your own reading and forget about anything else.

After my mother said all this, she hung up the phone.

Yaoyao took the phone and called back. The phone was ringing, but no one answered it. Yaoyao stood outside the canteen, persisting and calling continuously. After calling for more than ten minutes, someone finally picked up the phone. , the other party told Yaoyao that this was a public phone near the West Lake in Hangzhou. The person who called in front of him had long gone.

This is also the only call Yaoyao received from her mother since her mother left.

Yaoyao held her mobile phone with disappointment on her face. She walked back to the canteen and forgot where she put the food.Most of the people in the canteen were gone. She looked around in the canteen, but she couldn't find her food, not even the bowl.

Yaoyao didn't have lunch that day and went back to the classroom.
