Chapter Forty-Six: There are always people who want to extort money

Long Peng failed to howl and turn into a werewolf after all.

At about half past ten, there was another clanging sound on the village road, which frightened Yao Yao and Yang Xiayao together.

After more than half an hour, Zhang Yulian had already called on a voice call to ask Yang Xiayao why she hadn't gone home yet.

Hearing that she was still in the Long family's mansion, Yang Xiayao's mother over there suddenly exclaimed: "Oops, the door lock was broken just now, and it can't be opened when it's closed, and I can't get it right after fiddling with your dad for a long time." In the middle of the night, you simply don't come back, and you won't be able to enter the door when you come back. Wait for your dad to fix it tomorrow. ”

After saying that, he immediately hung up the call.

Yang Xiayao's pretty face turned red instantly, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.

She was eating melon seeds, and in order to save trouble, she pressed the speakerphone, and Zhang Yulian's words were clearly heard by Long Peng and Yao Yao next to her.

Long Peng's face was weird, Yao Yao's eyes were subtle, and they all looked at Yang Xiayao who was staring at the mobile phone screen in a daze.

"The ......"

Yang Xiayao came back to her senses, stammered and looked at Long Peng, and then at Yao Yao: "No...... Not what you think...... That's the ...... Me, me, me...... Ah......h

With a scream, Yang Xiayao jumped up violently and rushed to the door with messy steps.

"Xia Yao, wait for me ......"

Yao Yao hurriedly picked up her and Xia Yao's small bags and chased them out.

Listening to the motorcycle start and go away, Long Peng shook his head and chuckled, put away all distractions, and continued the unfinished work.

On the second day, Long Peng was awakened by the non-stop vibration of his mobile phone.

As soon as he clicked on the call, Yao Yao's eager voice came out: "Mr. Long, come to the village committee." Last night, the family made a disturbance. ”

Long Peng was very inexplicable: "Which family?"

"The ...... of the dead man"

Before Yao Yao finished speaking, there was a cry next to her, so she hurriedly said, "You come and help" and hung up.

"Troublemakers, what are you going to do with the village committee when someone dies at home?"

Long Peng looked at the time, it was almost nine o'clock. Dropped his mobile phone, hurriedly washed up, took a bag of bread and milk, nibbled all the way to the village committee.

As soon as I turned around the intersection of the village committee, I saw twenty or thirty people gathered in the open space in front of me, and four or five people in the middle were wearing linen and filial piety, one of them was crying out to the sky, Yao Yao and Yang Hongliang were talking helplessly and annoyed.

Seeing Long Surging coming, Yao Yao pulled him aside like seeing a savior, and said to the crying old peasant woman Nunu with a headache: "She didn't know who was fooled, so she brought her daughter and a few nephews to make trouble, saying that the money of the village committee belongs to everyone, and she wants to share the money and bury the husband, and she has to compensate." ”

"Compensation, what compensation?" Long Peng was even more confused.

Yao Yao sighed and said, "His husband went out to work in his early years and got pneumoconiosis, and he has been going for treatment intermittently. Half a year ago, the doctor said that they should not go for treatment, and it would be a waste of money to go. ”

"Yesterday morning his husband couldn't hold on. After the funeral last night, the relatives and friends who came to mourn said that if they had money earlier, they could change their lungs, and people would still be able to live. ”

Then someone mentioned the 50 million yuan of the village committee, saying that the money of the village committee is the money of the collective, that is, everyone's money. The woman got into the horns of the bull and brought a few people to ask for money. He also said that we had no conscience, and that if we had taken out the money earlier, his husband would not have died, and that we had killed him. ”

Long Peng finally understood the reason, but he was even more inexplicable: "And this logic?"

Yao Yao covered her forehead and smiled bitterly: "Rural people...... Hey, a lot of that. ”

Looking at the old peasant woman who was shouting at Yang Hongliang over there, Long Peng asked, "What are you going to do?"

Yao Yao looked tired: "I can't tell you, and they don't listen." If I had known what to do, I wouldn't have called you. ”

At this time, there were constantly villagers who rushed to see the excitement after hearing the news, pointing at the old peasant woman, and even a few teachers from the school came out, with a look of good and funny on their faces.

"More trouble, more and more, according to the trouble?"

Long Peng said such a sentence in his heart, walked up to Yang Hongliang and the crying old peasant woman, and yelled: "Shut up!"

The old peasant woman was startled and stopped crying in an instant.

Several other filial sons and daughters came back to their senses, took a few steps forward at the same time, pointed at Long Peng and shouted, "What are you going to do? Can you afford to scare people to death?"

"What am I going to do?"

Long Peng sneered, pointed to the sun for half a day and said, "It's more than 30 degrees every day now, right? How many days can your relatives keep in the coffin?"

Before the few people who were stunned by his words came back to their senses, Long Peng had already turned his head and shouted, "Secretary Yao, call the police." Arrest all these vexatious people. Let's see if the deceased will not be buried for a few days, and will die without blinking his eyes and jump out of the coffin. ”

Yao Yao and Yang Hongliang were startled, and they didn't understand why Long Peng was suddenly so excited to call the police.

Although such things are not common, the rural areas have their own rules of conduct, and if they are not in trouble, they generally solve them by themselves.

To put it in layman's terms, the old peasant women were just blinded by lard, and they just had to persuade them to leave, far from the point where they needed to call the police.

What's more, if someone has just died of their husband, and they really call the police to arrest and detain them for a few days for the crime of seeking trouble and causing trouble, what should the deceased do?

At that time, it will not be the villagers and neighbors who will be harmed

However, Yao Yao has great trust in Long Peng, and still picks up the mobile phone or operates.

"Hit someone...... Arrest someone...... Kill someone...... Woowoo woo ......"

When the old peasant woman saw that something was wrong, she fell to the ground and began to cry again.

Long Peng ignored her at all, just looked at her daughter and several nephews coldly, and was full of might.

During this time, the news about Long Peng was widely circulated in the village, and although he rarely appeared, he also established a lot of prestige.

was stared at by him so coldly, several people didn't dare to step forward to pull the old peasant woman for a while.

"Why did the police arrest us? We didn't do anything. ”

Several people dodged their eyes, not daring to confront Long Peng, but they still shouted.

"Didn't do anything?"

Long Peng sneered again, pointed his hand back and said, "What kind of place is this? It is the most basic administrative unit in our country. In other words, this is a state administrative organ, and you should not have called the police to arrest you by gathering crowds to make trouble for no reason?"

"I ...... We just want our money back. The daughter of the old peasant woman, a woman in her thirties, shouted.

"Your money?" Long Peng hesitated, his face full of mockery: "Which penny is yours here?"

"The money in the village is the money of the collective, and it is our money. ”

The woman cried out again, and some of the villagers were moved.

Yao Yao and Yang Hongliang were full of helplessness, and the teachers covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

"The money in the village is your money?"

Long Peng stretched out his hand and pointed at several people one by one: "You, you, you, and you, saying that you are idiots insult the word idiot." How many major banks are still state, and you are also a member of the state, so why don't you go to the bank and ask for money?"

Those few people didn't have much education in the first place, and they were choked by Long Peng's words all of a sudden, and they cowered and retreated.

The old peasant woman also stopped crying, but she still lay on the ground and could not get up.
