super rich

Lan Qianyi was still ignorant of their subtext, and suddenly let out an apology, and said apologetically, "I almost forgot to go to the mountain to fetch water, Brother Chen, you shouldn't be in a hurry to leave, can you wait here for a while , I’ll come down to entertain you after I finish picking the water.”

Taozi asked curiously, "Why are you still running up the mountain to fetch water? When I came here, I clearly saw a big water pool in the forest."

"That water pool was contracted to raise fish a long time ago, and we are not allowed to move around." Lan Qianyi sighed with a bitter face, "Recently, it happened to be a spring drought, and the crops in the field were in a hurry to water. Water, tomorrow will be a holiday, and water is needed everywhere, if I don’t pick up a few more buckets and prepare it earlier, I will be in trouble later.”

Chen Mingyuan frowned. This phenomenon has become commonplace during his research in the past few days.

Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to eat water, this is an iron law that has not changed since ancient times, but the most common situation today is that you can't eat mountains by relying on mountains, and you can't drink water by relying on water. It is rare that there is a ready-made village next to the village. Dashuitan was contracted out. Even though the village can get thousands of yuan a year, it delays the villagers' farm work and domestic water. This account is not worth it at all.

Under the current system that lacks strong supervision, collective ownership actually means that the collective does not, and ownership by the whole people means that the whole people does not own it. Who actually owns it?

Take Jinxi Township as an example. Natural resources such as forests and minerals are very rich, but because of lack of supervision, some township cadres simply guard against themselves and resell the property that originally belonged to the collective to individuals. What a shame.

However, the villagers have always been satisfied with the poverty-style peace bestowed by the township cadres, but they have long been accustomed to these unfair treatments!

At this time, a villager suddenly ran over in a panic and shouted: "Qianyi, your brother had an accident at the water pool, you should go and have a look, Zhong Dayu is yelling to break your brother's hand, Said he stole the fish in the pond!"

Lan Qianyi's face turned pale suddenly, he didn't even bother to say hello, and immediately let go of his feet and ran towards the pool.

"Come and see!"

Chen Mingyuan and others also rushed to catch up, passing through the dense and deep green shadow bamboo forest, at the end, a pool of clear and green water came into view.

When the crowd arrived, some villagers had already heard the news and came to watch. There were three men standing by the pool. The leading man was 40 years old, with shirts, trousers, and shiny hair. He didn't look like a farm worker. , was holding the arm of a thin boy with a fierce look on his face.

"Zhong Dayu, let go of my brother!"

Lan Qianyi rushed forward anxiously, but was blocked by the other two men.

The man named Zhong Dayu shouted: "Lan Qianyi, your brother stole my fish, how do you solve this matter!"

"Sister, I didn't steal it!" the boy cried, trying hard to break away from him.

Zhong Dayu pointed to the crucian carp in the bag on the ground, and cursed: "The stolen goods are both taken! How dare you say you didn't steal them!"

The boy cried and retorted: "You falsely accused me. I obviously bought this fish from the market, and I was going to take it home to make soup for my mother. I just happened to pass by here!"

Lan Qianyi also hurriedly explained: "I really asked my younger brother to buy this fish, and I plan to save it for tomorrow's festival!"

Zhong Dayu snorted contemptuously, and said contemptuously: "If you don't learn well at a young age, you can't even tell a lie. With your family's poor conditions, you can't even afford fish heads. Who would believe you if you buy so many fish at once!" Paused , and mockingly said: "If you are uneducated, you are uneducated. My father died early, and my mother is half dead. No wonder I raised these two little things who didn't learn well!"

Lan Qianyi was so excited that his body trembled, and a strong humiliation welled up in his heart.

The surrounding villagers couldn't stand it anymore, and they all condemned.

"Da Yu, can you say something human, the life of the Qian family is hard enough, and you still bully their orphans and widows like this, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"That's right, from the folks in the big hometown, it's interesting for you as an adult to have trouble with two children!"

"One more thing is worse than one less thing. It's just a few fish. Aren't they still alive? Just put them back in the pool."

"Tomorrow is the holiday, and they should be friendly. For Zutu's sake, please forgive them!"

Zhong Dayu didn't take it seriously, he stared and scolded: "What's the noise? Everyone stands and talks without pain in the back. I worked so hard to raise these fish, and now they are ruined by others. Why should I forget it! You guys are capable! Whoever helps him lose money, or don't get in the way!"

The villagers immediately fell silent, Zhong Dayu was the richest among the eight villages in ten miles, and even the head of Zhong Township was his brother, so he couldn't afford to mess with him in this area!

Chen Mingyuan's face sank like water. This Zhong Dayu was the person who contracted the water pool. It seemed that his living conditions were good. The two strong men behind him should be laborers hired by him, but they were obviously another village tyrant who made trouble for the village. !

"How much money, I will help her out!"

A cold voice came, and immediately, Ye Qingxue stepped forward resolutely, and said coldly: "It's just a few fish, so it's no use bullying two children!"

Zhong Dayu looked at the other party's outfit, and knew that she was from the city. Seeing her beautiful appearance, a bright light appeared in his eyes, and he teased: "Oh, the girl from the city, what's the matter? Want to fight against injustice?"

As soon as the words were finished, Lan Tude, the village party secretary, appeared belatedly, thumped his crutches, and warned, "Da Yu, be more polite! These comrades are cadres sent by the county!"

Zhong Dayu was stunned for a moment, restrained his arrogance a little bit, and said with a stiff neck: "I don't care who they are, anyway, Lan Qianyi and his brother stole my fish, this matter can't be forgotten, or I will be compensated, or I will pay for it." Send him to the police station!"

"Why are you so ignorant, let Mayor Zhong know, it will have a bad influence!" Lan Tude was furious immediately, but he had nothing to do with the village tyrant.

Ye Qingxue said impatiently: "I told you, I will pay for her!"

Zhong Dayu tilted his head and looked at Ye Qingxue, and said with a sneer, "It's great to be rich! Well, since you want to meddle in other people's business, I'll give you 1000 yuan for a fish, and let's forget about it!"

"It's unreasonable! You think it's a fish made of gold!" Even Zhu Zhentao couldn't bear it anymore.

Zhong Dayu said eloquently: "That's right, these fish are gold to me, and I'm still waiting to raise them bigger and sell them for money! In a word, pay or not, if you don't pay, I'll take these fish later. The brat's hands are broken, let's see who dares to take a step closer to the water pool in the future... Ah!"

Suddenly, Lan Qianyi's younger brother bit his hand, and the moment he let go, he ran to hide behind his sister.

"You son of a bitch, I'm going to kill you today!" Zhong Dayu cursed, "Tie up both of these siblings!"

The two hired workers seemed to be servants, but they reached out and took out a pair of shiny handcuffs from their waists, and took out a red armband from their pockets to tie on their arms, defense!

Chen Mingyuan raised his eyebrows, and ordered Fang Xiang: "Call all the party and government leaders of Jinxi Township, and they must arrive within half an hour!"

At the same time, the two hired workers rushed up immediately, wanting to grab Lan Qianyi, but just as they stretched out their hands, they were caught by Yin Qingning. Yin Qingning kicked his lower abdomen, squatted on the ground and rolled, unable to stand up again.

Zhong Dayu's expression changed, and he scolded, "Why do you want to rebel?"

Yin Qingning sneered, picked up the handcuffs on the ground, walked over and kicked Zhong Dayu, while squatting down while Zhong Dayu was clutching his belly, twisted his wrists behind him and handcuffed him very neatly.

The villagers looked at this scene in surprise, not knowing how to react, Lan Tude stared and said: "Hey, what are you doing, the cadres can't mess around, right?"

Zhong Dayu breathed a sigh of relief, and became angry from embarrassment: "Damn, do you know who I am? Let me go, or I will tell you to disappear from Jinxi Township!"

Chen Mingyuan didn't even look at him, took out his cigarettes, took out a few cigarettes, and threw one to Zhu Zhentao and one to Lan Tude.

Zhu Zhentao hurriedly helped Chen Mingyuan light cigarettes. Lan Tude gasped when he saw the words on the cigarettes. After all, he had seen the world and knew that Zhonghua cigarettes were very expensive. A pack might be worth as much as a poor household in the village. A year's worth of income.

Chen Mingyuan didn't speak, just smoked silently, and some villagers gradually dispersed, but there were also three or five people waiting to watch the excitement.

As the sun set, the villagers dispersed one after another, and the defenseman ran away long after he recovered.

At this moment, a few cars bumped up from a distance, stopped at the entrance of the village, and the doors opened. Secretary Lei of the Jinxi Township Party Committee, Mayor Zhong and other leaders got out of the car in a hurry, followed by some police officers.

Chen Mingyuan's face gradually became serious, but Lan Tude recognized the party secretary and the township head, and greeted him in surprise, but they ignored him at all. A group of people walked to Chen Mingyuan's side. Although their hearts were beating, Secretary Lei and the township head Zhong still stood firm. Scalp hello.

Chen Mingyuan smiled, and said leisurely: "It's going to be a festival, you guys are quite lively here, isn't it good!"

Secretary Lei was fine, but Township Chief Zhong glanced at his ashen-faced brother of the same family, wishing he could be whipped to death immediately, but his face was full of shame, he kept wiping the sweat from his forehead and opened his mouth to criticize.

Chen Mingyuan was too lazy to listen, and waved his hands and said: "You are all directly elected by the villagers, and you should be responsible for the stability of the villagers' lives. I won't talk nonsense, and you will each send me a review report. As for how to deal with it , It all depends on the opinions of the victims and the villagers, so I will not interfere."

Hearing these words, Zhong Dayu shuddered instantly, seeing Lan Qianyi's sister and brother's hostile gaze towards him, almost fainted on the spot!

After dismissing these people, Chen Mingyuan suddenly asked Fang for the pen in his jacket pocket, then handed it to Lan Qianyi, and said with a smile: "I will send you as a souvenir, study hard, and you will be better when you become famous. Protect the family."

Lan Qianyi took the pen with red eyes and nodded vigorously.

Zhu Zhentao looked at the secretary of the county party committee in novelty. This political upstart, who has been in the officialdom all over the place, now has an indescribable personality charm.
