Chapter 11: Woe Comes from the Mouth

The night, weird and changeable, at this moment in Shuangliu Village, the streets and alleys are free of the hustle and bustle of the day, and everything is quiet! In the middle of winter, everything is depressed, the green smoke of the furnace fire fills the night sky, the village party secretary Wang Shouwu's house is noisy, the yellowed window lattice paper is marked with a 'patch', a dining table is placed in the middle of the earthen kang, Wang Hui is bored with a needle to pick the wick of the oil lamp, the light is flickering on and off, Dad Wang Shouwu sits on the kang, Niang Leng Xichun and sister-in-law Wang Huilan sit at the end of the kang, and the little uncle Zhang Shibao sits in front of the kang Fang Deng, holding a tea jar in his hand.

Zhang Shibao angrily scolded Wang Shouwu, "Brother Shouwu, didn't you say that you would let Shiyu replace Wang Shoujiang as the director of public security?" You know, three generations of my old Zhang family are tenants, and my family was classified as poor peasants when the land was rezoned, and Shiyu is the representative of the vast number of poor peasants. ”

"Shibao, a poor peasant is qualified to be a security officer? There are more qualified people in Shuangliu Village, except for those big families, aren't the big guys all poor peasants! I did promise you that I would promote Shiyu to be the director of public security, but now the time is not ripe, you are also on an errand, and you should know the importance of the security master at the grassroots level. ”

"Brother Shouwu, just say it directly, who doesn't agree with Shiyu to be the director of public security?"

"Shibao, let's tell you this, I really didn't expect Shiyu's reputation to be so bad, the people in the village committee don't agree, Wang Shoujiang can be the director of public security, in addition to the strong support of Daddy Liu, people are still party members, if Shiyu is also a party member, I can let him be the village party secretary!"

"Party members? Daddy Liu is not a party member, why can he be the village head? I can see it, what kind of people in the village committee don't agree? Fool me, huh? Eighty percent of it is Daddy Liu who disagrees, right? I think he is a grasshopper after the autumn, and he can't jump for a few days, and sooner or later he will be defeated as a landlord like Liu Wenhua! ”

"Zhang Shibao, you let your mother's bullshit! You have the kind of repeating what you just said in front of my brother-in-law, I accept you as a gentleman, who do you think you are? Isn't it just a dog leg of Liu Kuizhang, don't talk about you, it's your master Liu Kuizhang who has to bow his head when he sees my brother-in-law, why is my brother-in-law the village head? Don't you know? Go home and ask your grandpa! Don't be foolish at my old Wang's house, this is not your place to go wild! The more Hui Lan spoke, the more angry she became, and she picked up the teacup on the kang table and smashed it at Zhang Shibao, and Zhang Shibao smashed the teacup on one side of the wall and shattered.

Zhang Shibao regretted what he said just now, knowing that he had stabbed the hornet's nest, if these words reached the ears of Daddy Liu, whether he could keep the position of the director of the county party committee office for the time being, the old Zhang family couldn't stay in Shuangliu Village, he quickly stood up and apologized to Huilan.

"Huilan, I was wrong. What I just said is a fart, Daddy Liu has been the village chief for more than 20 years, and he is highly respected, but there are indeed people who report anonymously to the county party committee, saying that there are thousands of acres of fertile land in the Liujia compound before liberation, and more than 20 long-term workers have been hired, and the county party committee After an in-depth investigation, it was finally determined that these anonymous letters were all fabricated by hearsay, and they were pure rumors. Zhang Shibao bent down and stood in front of Wang Huilan, only promised, apologized in a low voice, and almost knelt down for her.

"Don't talk nonsense, I also told you clearly, Zhang Shiyu can't be the director of public security, or my brother-in-law doesn't agree, what's wrong? My brother-in-law has always treated you as a character, and I feel that you participated in the eight-way devil fight at a young age, and you don't need your pig brain to think about it, if my brother-in-law didn't nod back then, could I marry you, a bastard? For the sake of a sesame security director, you chattered with my second brother all night, and even dared to say these unconscionable words to my brother-in-law, I think your old Zhang family doesn't want to stay in Shuangliu Village, go back and ask your grandfather to see if he will beat you with a rolling pin. ”

Zhang Shibao also wanted to explain, but Hui Lan waved her hand in disgust, and scolded impatiently, "Get out!" Get lost! Get lost! Zhang Shibao had no choice but to smile bitterly at Wang Shouwu and Leng Xichun awkwardly, and then ran home in a gloomy manner.

Wang Hui didn't bother to pay attention to them, and silently recited the love poem written to her by Liu Yizhang in her heart, "Ancient willow, ancient willow, one on the left, one on the right, the roots are connected, the branches are entangled, the summer shades, the winter avoids the snow, and the spring and autumn have a new look; Ancient willow, ancient willow, the first hundred years, the next hundred years, foot to counter, hand to hand, young love, old companions, life and death of the liver and gallbladder! Melancholy quietly crept up on Wang Hui's heart, her eyes were full of tears, and she actually lay on Wang Huilan's shoulder and cried!
