Chapter 091: A Thorn in the Flesh
Just when the peach blossoms called the sky should not be the day, and the earth was not spiritual, she suddenly remembered a person, this person was the female director of the village, Fu Lanhua, so she mustered up the courage to find Fu Lanhua and told her misfortune and experience.
Fu Lanhua didn't say a word after hearing this, and immediately agreed to solve the problem for Peach Blossom, and risked turning his face with Qin Dachuan, the village party secretary, to seek justice for Peach Blossom: Zheng Chujiang will compensate Peach Blossom for all medical expenses, in addition to mental losses and other expenses, and apologize to Peach Blossom in person. is really angry for the weak woman Peach Blossom, for this, she is very grateful to Fu Orchid, she feels very happy to be with "Sister Orchid".
However, although Fu Orchid helped her a lot, Fu Orchid couldn't do anything about her housework and her personal problems, what can people say? Half a year later, Peach Blossom still did not resist the pressure from all sides, and although she was very reluctant, she still married Zheng Chujiang, the "Second Yama King......
On the night before the election, Peach Blossom was lying on the bed recalling her past misfortunes and sad history, only to hear a "squeak" and the door opened. She knew who was back, and she knew what he was doing tonight. She glanced at the large watch hanging on the wall, the hour hand was already pointing to one o'clock in the morning, and she turned over to face the wall.
Sure enough, it was Zheng Chujiang, he knew that Peach Blossom was not asleep, so he sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to take out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, took two puffs hatefully, and then pushed Peach Blossom and said, "Hurry up Ming'er to cook early, and the morning election, I still have to urge my cousin to canvass for votes." ”
Peach Blossom didn't squeak, he pushed Peach Blossom again and asked, "Did you hear that?" My cousin can say that this time relatives and friends have to use it, no one can choose Fu Orchid, she must be pulled down from the position of village director, and see what she will do against her cousin in the future, hum! ”
Peach Blossom didn't look back, she asked, "Then who are you going to choose as the director?" ”
Zheng Chujiang replied: "Choose my cousin, everything is arranged at my cousin's house tonight." ”
"Hmph, he wants the secretary and director to take care of them all, and he thinks that his power is not big enough."
"You don't care about this, let's just pull people and canvass for votes. Hey, go to your mother's house a little earlier after Ming'er eats, let them call more people, the more people the better, this time we have to let my cousin take down this village director anyway, we have to bring down this Fu Orchid. ”
"Hey, who do you think you are? Say you can bring people down? Fu Orchid is recognized by everyone as a capable woman, and most of the people in the village are very supportive. Besides, how many good things have people done to everyone with Orchid? Look at my uncle and your cousin, he is ...... for himself."
"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense! Without waiting for Peach Blossom to finish speaking, Zheng Chujiang quickly interrupted her, he pointed to Peach Blossom and asked, "Why do you always speak for Fu Orchid?" Who is she? What good does it do you for her to be the village chief? Oh, just because she punished me for you, right? Hum! ”
"That's right! People pay orchids to help the people speak! Be able to call the shots for the people in the village! As soon as Peach Blossom turned over and sat up, she asked Zheng Chujiang rhetorically: "Let me ask you, that Qin Dachuan has always held the power of the village, what has he done for people?" What benefits do you get? ”
"Hehe, don't ask, my cousin can say, if this election is successful, if Fu Lanhua can be overthrown, the deputy director of this village will be me. Ha ha. ”
"Oh my God!" Peach Blossom threw her head on the pillow, sighed and said, "Alas, the whole village is about to be unlucky, it is not enough to have a great Yama king in the village, plus you, the second Yama king, people will not be able to live." ”
"Damn, what's that? My cousin is also your uncle, and the king of Yama is also your name? ”
"That's what it was." Peach Blossom turned around and faced the wall again, ignoring him.
In fact, what Peach Blossom said is right, people gave Zheng Chujiang the nickname of "Eryan King", not only because he was rampant in the township and no one dared to mess with him, but he also had another reason, that is, because of his cousin Qin Dachuan.
Qin Dachuan is now 66 years old, and he has been working as a party secretary and deputy secretary in the village for 40 years. According to the ranking of the secretary of the village party branch in the county, Qin Dachuan can be regarded as an old qualification anyway.
He has been a secretary for so many years, can you imagine how powerful he should be in the village? How strong should the foundation be?
In his own words: "Even the secretary of the county party committee has to give me three points." "Just imagine, based on this alone, how powerful or powerful should he be up and down the county? His "network" can be said to be criss-crossed, spread to all corners of the county, and even to the sky.
As people say in private: "When he stomped his foot, the whole village trembled." "Think again, the whole village has a population of 3,000, who dares to provoke?
Therefore, people often secretly call Qin Dachuan "King of Great Yama", but sometimes they also call him "King Qin Guang", because he has the same surname as King Qin Guang of the First Palace, and the word is big, so people secretly gave him such a nickname. However, no one would dare to call him that in front of him, otherwise, you will consider yourself unlucky.
The women in the village often used him to scare the children, "Don't make trouble, the Great Yama King is coming", "Sleep, Qin Dachuan is here." ”
So, why does he say that the branch secretary who has been working for decades still has to "count before and after"? Reason.
In 1980, the spring breeze of "reform and opening up" blew all over the land of China. Liyang County, located on the North China Plain, is in full swing in the countryside at a time when co-production contracting is in full swing. At that time, the party committees and governments at the township level were called "people's communes".
Qin Dachuan's village was called "Wei Song Village" in the early years, according to the old generation, this place was originally a border town of the Song Dynasty, and it was also an ancient battlefield to resist Liaojin. After 1966, the "Weisong Village" was changed to the "Red Guard Brigade", which has been used to this day, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Chengguan Commune of Liyang County.
Qin Dachuan graduated from the county-run "Liyang County Communist Labor University", and after returning to the village after graduation, Qin Dachuan served as the deputy secretary of the party branch of the Red Guard Brigade, because he was ideologically advanced, politically competent, loyal to the party, and so on. It was a time of near-madness! He and his wife Xiao Yunrui met at that time, and formed a deep revolutionary friendship in the "battle", and finally came together and became revolutionary partners.
Qin Dachuan's biggest advantage is that he is agile, bold and careful, and fickle; Indeed, he is also diligent and studious, and he writes well, and whoever holds a red and white wedding event in the village is almost always required to write couplets and accounts, for which he feels a little complacent.
He was originally the number one leader in the village, and he grasped the party and government power with one hand, as long as he said one, no one dared to say two. However, in the late 80s of the 20 th century, the central authorities proposed the separation of party and government at all levels, and successively promulgated the Rural Election Law.
Even so, no one can shake his monopoly position in the village, at that time in the village and even in the county, his power and prestige have reached the peak, layers of excellent, advanced and their awards, awards and other honors and names, flowers and greenery hung all over the walls of the living room, he wants the wind to get the wind, to the rain to get the rain, the scenery is infinite. According to the local people, this is called: monkeys riding horses to the sun - very fanatical.
Until one day, Fu Lanhua ended her life in the army and returned to her hometown from the army, it is said that she came back from the downsizing of the army, but she didn't want to work hard in the city, and ran back to the village to become a farmer, her appearance made Qin Dachuan feel that his rights were gradually weakening, Qin Dachuan hated it so much that his teeth itched, and he scolded the people around him: "This dead girl is simply a mental illness!" ”
Because Fu Lanhua has attracted a lot of people's hearts step by step, she started from helping and caring for the neighbors to eat, drink and Lazar, and gradually expanded to the people in need of help in the whole village, and then to build bridges and roads, raise loans, buy cars and build factories, etc., she always contributes money and efforts, runs before and after, so her popularity and praise in the village are getting higher and higher, and everyone often regards her as the backbone of their hearts. Her parents were supportive of her in doing so. In this way, in just two years, she gradually brought people's already loose hearts together.
That year, the total population of the whole village, men, women, and children totaled a little more than 3,000, and a total of 1,580 people were eligible to vote, but in that election, she got more than 980 votes in one fell swoop, and she took the position of village director in Qin Dachuan's hands in a daze. To this day, Qin Dachuan is still haunted by this.
However, although Fu Lanhua became the village director, Qin Dachuan did not take her as a female streamer in his eyes, the top spot of his village party secretary is still there, and the power of life and death in the village is still in his hands, just with his connections up and down, he expects that his power in the village and his prestige in the county will not be greatly affected by this. According to his words: "She can move my village director with Orchid, but she will never be able to move me, the party branch secretary!" ”
Indeed, the village chief is elected by all the villagers, and no matter how big his hand is, he admits that he cannot control the choices and actions of more than a thousand voters; The secretary of the party branch was elected by 68 party members in the village, and he had been in the position of branch secretary for 40 years, and at least 40 party members in the village were trained and developed by him, so he said confidently: "These party members are absolutely loyal to me." ”
He is right, he has developed many party members in the village over the years, and most of these people are his cronies and close friends, these people are his most basic wealth and owners, with these escort people, even in accordance with the party's organizational principle of "the minority obeys the majority", in every election, he is "let the wind and waves rise, sit firmly on the Diaoyutai", and his throne as secretary is like an impregnable steel fortress, impregnable.
In addition to the daily work on the scene, other work arrangements and the village's infrastructure, housing construction, land requisition and land occupation, road repair and paving, and family planning, etc., these so-called rural "major events" were never discussed with others, and he never held meetings of the two committees. He said: "This is conducive to the smooth development of the work, so as not to be verbose." ”
However, since this Fu Orchid became the village director, these conditions in the village have suddenly undergone some changes, not to mention anything else, just in terms of people's thoughts, suddenly become less coordinated and unified, Fu Orchid actually did not pass him, and dared to ask the accountant to make the village accounts public on the wall, isn't this nonsense? Since these days, he always felt that Fu Lanhua was deliberately secretly competing with himself, and she was like a thorn in his body, which made him feel very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
