Chapter 28: Sending Charcoal in the Snow
Luo Rong returned home, and after a few words of explanation to his wife, he immediately changed into civilian clothes and went to Dejiang.
Investigator Xiao Zhang's eyes never left the commissary, when Luo Rong put on civilian clothes and walked out, he was very surprised, seeing him change into civilian clothes as if he was going out of the house, what was going on?
Xiao Zhang quickly made a decision, he wanted to follow Luo Rong to see what was going on.
He didn't have time to ask Deputy Director Feng for advice, so he quietly followed behind Luo Rong.
Luo Rong would not have considered that someone would dare to stare at him.
Luo Rong came to the passenger station and bought a bus ticket to Dejiang, Xiao Zhang didn't say a word, and then bought a bus ticket to Dejiang.
In this way, Xiao Zhang and Luo Rong came to Dejiang together, Luo Rong knew that the village where Xuemei lived was very close to the city, and he was not in a hurry to go to that place, seeing that it was not early, he first found a small hotel to stay.
Xiao Zhang felt more and more that his behavior was abnormal, it was just after noon, why did he invest in a store more than a hundred miles away from Mingyang?
He took a taxi back to the bureau, but he couldn't see Deputy Director Feng, it turned out that the branch went to the municipal government auditorium to attend the commendation meeting, so he had to take a taxi to the municipal government auditorium...
The commendation meeting officially began two days in the afternoon of the same day, and the deputy mayor in charge of politics and law personally attended, and he personally presented a red envelope containing 10,000 yuan in cash to Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng solemnly accepted the bonus, but he knew that he could not take it for himself and use it to help those in need.
As soon as Deputy Director Feng saw that Xiao Zhang had come to the scene in person, he got up and left the venue and met in a remote corner outside.
He was also very surprised after listening to Xiao Zhang's report, and after thinking for a while, he instructed: "This person has a major suspicion, his purpose in coming to Dejiang is definitely related to this case, you must keep an eye on him, maybe through his clue, we can find Qi Xiaoyun or even a bigger culprit behind the scenes." ”
After Xiao Zhang received the order, he took a taxi to the hotel, and he had booked a room very close to Luo Rong before he came.
When Deputy Director Feng returned, the meeting was basically over, and after Liu Cheng greeted Vice Mayor Feng with the bonus, he set off and walked outside the auditorium...
"Comrade Liu Cheng, are you going back to the provincial capital now? You can take the car of the Provincial Public Security Department back. Deputy Director Feng reminded.
"No, I still have something to do here, why didn't Comrade Xing's family come to the scene to attend this meeting?"
"Alas, his lover Comrade Fang Chunmei really couldn't leave, so he refused to attend the meeting, and we have already sent the martyr's pension to her last night."
After listening to Deputy Director Feng's explanation, Liu Cheng still couldn't let go of it, and after he said goodbye to Deputy Director Feng, he went to Fang Chunmei's house again...
But before he arrived at her house, he found that some people were gathered in front of Fang Chunmei's house, and he was shocked, and immediately sped up his pace and ran over.
When I looked closer, I saw that most of these people were dressed as ordinary peasants, and if I listened carefully to them, they turned out to be relatives and neighbors.
I saw Fang Chunmei with red and swollen eyes and explained loudly: "Uncles, uncles, brothers and brothers, although Zhibin is gone, but with me, I will definitely pay off the debts owed to you, my mother-in-law is still sick in bed, so please raise your noble hands and tolerate me for some more time!" ”
When Liu Cheng heard this, he immediately understood, it turned out that these people were here to force debts, and he had already heard Deputy Director Feng say that Xing Zhibin's father spent a lot of money on cancer, and his mother suffered from hemiplegia, which must have caused a lot of famine.
I only heard an old man in the crowd sneer: "Niece and daughter-in-law, you say it nicely, Zhibin's nephew couldn't repay our money before his death, we saw that he was a member of the country, and I felt that he couldn't afford it, so we lent you for emergency relief, but he is not here now, we heard that you have a lot of pensions, and if you don't pay us back at this time, will there be a day to pay it back?" It's not easy for any of us, we can't watch our money go down the drain, right? ”
Fang Chunmei cried: "The government has issued us a pension, but it was all exchanged for Zhibin's life, my mother-in-law still needs a lot of money for treatment, besides, Zhibin's pension is limited, and it is not enough to repay everyone!" ”
At this time, a middle-aged woman in the crowd interjected: "'Zhibin's family', you said it nicely, the money that Zhibin owed us before his death was repaid by his pension, which is a matter of course, who knows what you think in your heart?" He couldn't pay us back when he was alive, and now that he is gone, if you remarry in the future, won't our money be wasted? ”
Fang Chunmei burst into tears, she suddenly knelt down in front of everyone and said, "I swear to everyone today, if I can't pay off my debts, I will never marry!" ”
However, her plea did not win everyone's sympathy, maybe they were mentally prepared, and they were determined not to eat Fang Chunmei's set, so they still didn't let go: "It's not that you don't have money at home now, you have to pay us back now..."
Liu Cheng couldn't stand it anymore, he came to Fang Chunmei's side in a few steps, pulled her up, and then accused the group: "Do you still have any sympathy?" Comrade Xing Zhibin sacrificed his precious life for the country and the people, and this has no vital interests with you? You can't offer condolences and sympathy, but instead want to force debts from the families of the martyrs, do you still have a little conscience? ”
Liu Cheng's words immediately caused a commotion in the crowd...
"Where did you come from, and why do you want to meddle with our business?" One of them asked.
Liu Cheng sneered for a while: "The road is uneven, someone shovels; If things are not fair, someone will take care of them. Even if I'm an outsider, I can't get used to you forcing orphans and widows like this! ”
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted, "Are you the green onion?" Since you want to 'act bravely', then you can help her return the money to us!" Don't give here 'pig nose with green onions ~ pretending to be an elephant'! ”
Liu Cheng was also a man with a temperament like fire, he pulled Fang Chunmei out a few steps away with one hand, and then asked in a low voice, "Sister, how much do you owe them?" ”
Fang Chunmei sobbed: "It's not that I don't want to pay them back, but Zhibin's pension is really not enough to repay, it's still a lot worse, I originally planned to pay back part of it first, but none of them refused to give in, and they all asked to pay them back first." ”
When Liu Cheng heard this, he comforted: "Sister, don't cry, since they don't care about it, just pay them back, how much is it estimated that they are still missing?" ”
Fang Chunmei said in a low voice: "The government has issued a total of more than 60,000 yuan in pensions, but my father-in-law's treatment before his death, plus my mother-in-law's treatment fees, we already owe them a debt of 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, which is not enough to repay." ”
When Liu Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but touch his pocket, originally the purpose of his coming to Fang Chunmei's house was to give her the 'Righteous and Courageous Bonus' he received, and he was sending some help to Xuemei to help her and Zuo Jun, he had a special emotion for Xuemei at this time, and he wanted to help them, but now it seems that even if he took out all the money, it may not be enough to repay these people.
However, the matter did not allow him to think about it anymore, and he decisively said to Fang Chunmei: "Let's stop begging them, return the money to them now, if your money is not enough, then, I still have some, it is estimated that it is enough to send them away." ”
His words were heard by the ear-eared people in the crowd, who immediately shouted, "Well, you have to count." ”
Liu Cheng turned around and replied coldly: "Don't worry, I, Liu Cheng, have done what I said, I have always put my conscience right, but what about you?" is a relative and a fellow villager in the neighborhood with Xing Zhibin, don't you feel blushing when you collect debts in this way? ”
His words made some people in the crowd bow their heads...
Liu Cheng no longer paid attention to these people, he turned back to Fang Chunmei and said, "Sister, stop talking nonsense with them, return the money to them!" ”
With Liu Cheng's support, Fang Chunmei's confidence is also sufficient, and she has regained her strong side: "It's good, I don't smear Zhibin's face, and I won't rely on them for not repaying the debt!" ”
Liu Cheng took out the money on his body, and finally sent the group away, Liu Cheng looked at their backs and couldn't help but spit and said: "What a group of powerful villains!" ”
Who knows, Fang Chunmei hurriedly defended: "Brother Liu, don't scold them like this, they are all relatives of my family, and some of them are still my mother's family, when my father-in-law and mother-in-law were treated, they were all generous, no one is rich, no one wants their hard-earned money to go and never return, although they forced me today, but I don't hate them." ”
After listening to Fang Chunmei's words, Liu Cheng couldn't help but be in awe of her, and he realized the good qualities contained in this ordinary rural woman in front of him, who was not outstanding in appearance and did not speak amazingly.
After Liu Cheng comforted Xing's mother again, he said goodbye.
Fang Chunmei silently came out to send him...
Fang Chunmei had been walking with him for a long time, and she had no intention of stopping, Liu Cheng couldn't help but persuade again: "Sister, go back!" There are still old people at home. ”
Fang Chunmei saw that Liu Cheng stopped and didn't move forward, so she had no choice but to stop.
"Brother Liu, thanks to you today, I will definitely return the money to you as soon as possible." Fang Chunmei lowered her head and said.
Liu Cheng's expression showed displeasure, and he blamed: "Sister, don't say such things again, your husband died heroically to save me, can my little money be worth a precious life?" ”
Fang Chunmei listened, she lowered her head and was silent.
Liu Cheng thought for a while and asked, "Does my sister have any plans in the future?" ”
"Feng Ju promised to arrange a job for me, now my mother-in-law's condition is quite stable, Shanshan is in school, I don't have to worry about it anymore, I can work to earn money to support my family."
When Liu Cheng heard this, he felt a little relieved in his heart, and he encouraged: "Sister, no matter what kind of difficulties you encounter in the future, you must be optimistic, and remember that before God finally decides your fate, all your wisdom is contained in two words~ 'waiting' and 'hope'!" ”
After listening to Liu Cheng's words, Fang Chunmei's eyes lit up and said: "Brother Liu said it so well, I remember it, and I will be strong." ”
Liu Cheng couldn't help laughing: "It's not what I said, it's the words of the French writer Alexandre Dumas." However, his words always encouraged me when I was at a low mood. ”
Fang Chunmei also smiled, she raised her head and stared at Liu Cheng, and said softly: "Then let this sentence be with us!" ”
Liu Cheng said goodbye to Fang Chunmei, and wanted to visit Xuemei again, but he was already shy in his pocket, and it was not easy to see her again, so he caught the car of the provincial public security department and went back to the provincial capital directly.
