The original name of the "ghost village chief" was Liu Jianhuai, known as "Liu Jiangui", and the villagers jokingly called "ghost sausage". He is a notorious figure in Luoxi Township. That guy has no ink, no learning, no skills, but the city government is very scheming. In his early years, he replaced his father and entered the township government (at that time, it should be called the People's Commune) and became a glorious gang leader. Relying on the innate advantage of grasping scarce materials in his hands, from time to time in the middle of the night to the leaders on duty to send a few bottles of old wine, get a few plates of side dishes, in the cup of wine to and fro, get the favor of the relevant leaders of common sense, a paper order let him leave the smoky stove room proudly, Shi Shiran into the bright and clean office, become one of the many officials of the township government.

After becoming an officer, "Liu Jiangui" knows that his foundation is shallow and his level is low, and it is difficult to be recognized by everyone. So he pretended to be pious and humble, and asked questions shamelessly, conscientiously and sincerely at work, competing to do heavy work, tiring work, and dirty work. He is polite and amiable in dealing with people, and he can't wait to take out his heart and give it to others. As a result, he deceived the trust and respect of the office, and was finally promoted to the director of the office.

After being appointed as the director, "Liu Sees Ghosts" revealed the true face of the fox. Not only is he narrow-minded and mercenary, but he also has a violent temper and is angry. In front of his subordinates, he had a gloomy donkey face, as if someone else owed him eight lifetimes of debts and had not repaid, and he was angry and trained people at every turn, looking like a vicious wolf waiting for an opportunity to devour people. Of course, if you secretly stuff him with a red envelope at this time, or book a table to express it, then his attitude will immediately change 180 degrees. The clouds open and the fog disperses, the moon is bright and the stars are bright, and the warmth makes you feel like a spring breeze. At the same time, it also makes you deeply understand what it means to have money to make ghosts grind, and what is called a chameleon that is red when it is red and black when it is black. If you are rigid and rigid and don't know anything, and you don't let go of a tendon to the end, then I'm sorry, he will say to you with a gloomy donkey face, bastard, messing around, playing the piano indiscriminately. What are you doing here? Is something as simple as that wrong? Got a brain? Got a mind? If you can't do it well, ask someone who has the ability to do it, don't occupy the pit and don't. Does this material do that? Is this how this report is filled? Have you read a book? Have you studied math? Although you are strictly required and do what you do. But it can't be helped, he said that you are wrong, then it must be wrong, right and wrong. I'm sorry, let's do it all over again, anyway, you're not in a hurry. He has the time and the methods to rebuke you and scold you. In the end, he will be ashamed to say in front of the leader: This person can't do it, he can't do big things, and he should be out of class. And for the leaders from above, there is really nothing to say, more gentle than a eunuch, more careful than a woman, a well-behaved and obedient sheep's face, and a fox face that is extremely sloppy and flattering. Even if the leader has a subtle and casual frown or pout, he can quickly figure out what the other party needs or inconvenience, and immediately do it properly and smoothly, so that you have to admire his "ability and shrewdness".

In this way, "Liu Jiangui" relied on the undefeated secret of hard one hand and soft one hand, and was promoted all the way to the township chief. In the end, because the age limit was more than 50, the road to promotion was castrated by the relevant documents, and he could no longer climb up. had to stand still and be his township chief honestly.

Although the township chief is good, he is not the number one after all. You can't do whatever you want, do whatever you want, and you don't have the majesty of a promise and a hundred responses, because there is a bigger secretary squatting on your head. Therefore, in order to maximize the benefits and have more right to speak, the "ghost village chief" will unscrupulously crack down on dissidents and exclude heterogeneous people with his conscience, and even the superior leaders who have had some conflicts with him and are now unwilling to let go, and finally won the deformed support and perverted praise of his subordinates, and at the same time, he also got the favor and disdain of individual leaders, and firmly consolidated his position as a "sitting dog" in Luoxi Township, and easily did not put the number one in his eyes. As he often admonished his henchmen, the number one is a mountain tiger and a stray soldier, and he will be transferred and promoted after a few years of service, but he is an out-and-out "lynx" and a real "tumbler". Therefore, in order to seek stability, unity, development, and progress, the successive secretaries had no choice but to make compromises, swallow their anger, and let him endure his anger. But he didn't want to be a "ghost village chief", but he became more and more arrogant and arrogant in the township. The subordinates also became more and more frightened, and they did not dare to blame him in the slightest. Otherwise, it will definitely provoke the "ghost" to linger on the upper body, and I don't know how to die at that time.

It is said that one day at the end of last summer, the "ghost village chief" rushed to Xujia Village under the hug of a "minions", planning to go to the secretary's house to gnaw wild boars and eat pheasants. When passing by the "Yunchang Lime Plant", he saw that the cars in the factory were flowing endlessly, and the workers were busy and sweating, and it was a gratifying scene of bustling and busy. So he curiously asked the village cadres what was going on. Later, after a brief explanation by the village branch, he blinked a pair of mouse eyes and said "oh", and said with hatred in his heart: "His grandmother's, such an opportunity to make money like running water, why didn't he find it?" How unreasonable! ”

When he returned to the village committee, the "ghost village chief" specially called the village party secretary aside to inquire about the "Yunchang Lime Plant." After inquiring, he suddenly had evil thoughts in his heart, his eyes glowed green, and an extremely strong desire to possess surged all over his body. No, you have to keep this "cash cow" for yourself anyway. Isn't it just a rural villager? One has no money and two powers, and the people are scarce and the offspring are withering, so he casually calls a clerk to intimidate a few words, and he will definitely scare him into a fart, and he will give up the lime factory with trepidation. Yes, that's it, there's nothing to worry about, worry about a bird.

So the "ghost chief" wild boar stopped gnawing and the pheasant didn't eat it, and led a group of cronies who didn't know why to rush home. Three days later, on the pretext of routine renewal, he deceived Xu Shichang into contracting the original contract for the barren mountain, and immediately instructed others to destroy it on the spot. On the grounds of mining mines without a license and illegally occupying collective property, he ordered the "Yunchang Lime Plant" to be banned and sealed. For the sake of insurance, he also sent several capable generals to fan the flames and spread rumors in Xujia Village, and instigated and encouraged some villagers to unite and fight for their own vital interests and legitimate rights and interests.

How can ignorant villagers care so much about right and wrong, grievances and grievances? Although they all knew that Xu Shichang's contracting of the barren mountain was conclusive and indisputable, they even almost went bankrupt and fell into the abyss of no disaster. But with interests at the top and money dazzling, who will speak a fair word against their conscience? In addition, I was already angry and hot about the "Yunchang Lime Factory" with rolling financial resources and daily gold, such as a bone stuck in the throat, who doesn't want to get some bones and share a cup of soup? It's just that the teacher is nameless and doesn't dare to act rashly. Now that some people stand up and wave their arms to take the lead in raising the scene, and they are village cadres who are "in power" and are daunting, how can they not blindly obey the reason? As a result, some villagers shouted and rushed to the "Yunchang Lime Factory" to demand that Xu Shichang stop mining and unconditionally hand over the profits to the village committee.

The next thing was lively, the two sides first developed from the beginning of the verbal swords, arguments and arguments to push and push, fists and feet, and finally made a fuss and scuffled to the township government, both sides are full of confidence waiting for the fair and just ruling of the township government!

At this time, the "ghost chief" lost no time in jumping out and calmed the people on both sides with a serious face. He first asked Xu Shichang to come up with the original contract for contracting the barren mountain, and then, in spite of Xu Shichang's strong defense, on the grounds of representing the interests of the majority of the villagers, he proposed a compromise solution that had been drawn up long ago: In order to settle the disputes and grievances between the two parties concerned and achieve maximum stability and development, the "Yunchang Lime Plant" will greatly increase the contracting and management costs from now on, and use it for the welfare and dividends of the villagers. This is not an increase in general expenses, but an increase in unprofitable and even unprofitable expenses!

Naturally, this unreasonable demand was strongly protested and sternly rejected by Xu Shichang. And this is what the "ghost chief" wants. Therefore, on the grounds of unreasonable and illegal occupation of collective property, the lime plant was forcibly closed "in accordance with the law" and all the staff of the plant were dismissed on the spot.

Xu Shichang was not convinced, and went to the county party committee and county government many times to report the situation. It's just that because there is no basis for the words, the original contract cannot be obtained, and the incident involves the interests of many villagers, and it is a large group of disputes, so the county party committee and county government are not easy to deal with rashly, and can only instruct Luoxi Township to thoroughly investigate the truth and deal with it impartially in accordance with laws and regulations.

This happened to fall into the trick of the "ghost chief". He immediately used despicable means to conceal the world, fabricated a distorted facts, reversed black and white, and handed over the matter to the upper authorities. Next, he boldly sent people to the lime plant, took over all the management rights of the plant, and started production vigorously.

Seeing that the lime factory that he had built with all his efforts fell into the hands of others in the blink of an eye, what was left behind was a butt of debts and equipment that was rusting in the wind and rain, as well as the endless "chasing and encirclement" of some creditors. Xu Shichang called the sky for a while, called the earth and the earth not spiritual, and shouted a few times "wronged" in anger, opened his mouth and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and then fell to the ground, died suddenly, and did not close his muddy old eyes until he died......

After listening to his sister's heart-wrenching statement, Xu Wenlong swung his iron fist and slammed it on the dining table, and scolded hatefully in his mouth: "The "ghost village chief" who killed him is really too deceitful! ”

Xu Wenjuan, who was in tears, was startled, and hurriedly dissuaded her younger brother: "You...... What are you doing? You can't mess around! ”

Wang Jun, the nephew who was curled up in a chair and slept, was even more frightened to open his eyes and almost fell on the muddy floor. He blinked at his uncle with a pair of dark eyes and a look of horror on his face.

Xu Wenlong's heart sank, and he hurriedly suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked in a calm tone as much as possible: "How much debt do you owe after my father dies?" Do you know who the creditor is? ”

Xu Fangjuan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, lowered her head and replied with a whimper: "Including the cost of purchasing equipment and workers' wages, a total of more than 285,000 yuan." They were all borrowed from neighbors and friends. Ever since the 'ghost chief' took over the lime factory, some of them have been yelling and making noise at home every day, constantly threatening and forcing their father to ask for money. And I'm ...... And I don't have that much money...... It is impossible to have so much money in a lifetime...... It's called me...... What do you want me to do......"

Xu Wenlong hurriedly comforted Xu Wenjuan and said, "Don't worry, sister, I can afford this money, so I don't have to trouble anyone." ”

"What? Can you afford it? Xu Wenjuan was taken aback, then looked at her younger brother and said gloomily, "You...... You are a soldier, but how can you have so much money? Do you pay it back slowly? Of course, this will have to be paid off slowly, but when will it be paid off? I hate that your brother-in-law and I have no jobs and no skills, and we can't make much money a year, so we can't help much. ”

Xu Wenlong shook his head, took out a passbook without saying a word, and stuffed it into Xu Wenjuan's hand.

Xu Wenjuan paused for a moment, then slowly typed the passbook, and then her eyes bulged suddenly, looking at the younger brother in front of her and exclaiming: "Ah-my God...... This...... So much money! Her lips trembled slightly, her breathing was rapid, and her fair face was full of consternation, doubt, and panic.

Xu Wenlong said with a wry smile: "It's not too much, but it's just enough to pay off the debt." ”

"Also...... Not much...... Xu Wenjuan counted the long string of zeros on the passbook with a trembling hand, and stammered, "Three...... 300,000 ...... A full 300,000! Your brother-in-law and I won't be able to earn it for the rest of our lives! You...... Where did you get so much money? It won't be ...... It won't be ......" It's no wonder that after getting married, Xu Wenjuan and her husband Wang Ganfu worked hard and worked hard, and they were not willing to eat even a pound of pork, nor even a piece of clothing, and finally reluctantly built the house even on credit. The house is up, and there is not a penny on it, and there is a debt that is difficult to pay off in three years! And he is a soldier, with a mere allowance of one or two hundred yuan per month, in addition to pocket money and daily use, how much money can he have left? What's more, it's a young man, it shouldn't have been stolen and robbed!

Xu Wenlong's heart was sour, and he hurriedly comforted his sister and said, "Don't worry, sister, I earned all this money with my own hands." If you see the light, you can see people even more. ”

Yes, it's really earned by hard work!

Xu Wenjuan heard her brother answer so affirmatively, and knew that he had always been honest and honest and did not play tricks, so a hanging heart was slightly relaxed, but after all, he still felt unsteady. She stared at her brother with complicated eyes, and it took a long time to carefully return the passbook to him, and said hesitantly: "Okay, since you earned it with your hands, then I will ...... I was relieved. Let's pay off the money we owe to others quickly, and then I will earn money with your brother-in-law and help you get a wife as soon as possible. ”

"It's true to pay back the money, just ask for a wife, let's talk about it later." Xu Wenlong said with a wry smile: "I will go to the county seat tomorrow to take out the money, and you go and notify all the people who borrowed the money, and ask them to come to the house the day after tomorrow to settle the bill." ”

"Okay, good, this dare is so good, I can finally raise my waist and be a man!" Xu Wenjuan was so happy in her heart that she didn't even pursue the fact that her younger brother didn't want to marry his wife, and said in a loud voice, "I'll leave the matter of marrying a wife to tomorrow two days." Remember to find the leaders of the county, you must help your father get justice, and don't let him die without peace. ”

At this time, Wang Ganfu brought a few pots of steaming farmhouse dishes with his hands and feet, and then arranged a few pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the dining table, rubbed his hands and said to Xu Wenlong with a smile: "Eat, eat, stew chicken and goose while it's hot." "It's rare that he slaughtered chickens and geese in such a short period of time, and cooked the meals so neatly and neatly, with all the colors and flavors.

Country cuisine does not pay attention to collocation, nor does it care about shape, there are no such seasonings, but the materials are real, the taste is mellow, natural and healthy, which is incomparable to many high-end restaurants.

Xu Wenlong sat in the car for several days, never ate a decent meal, and his stomach was really hungry, so he was not polite in the face of a big pot of stewed chicken and roast goose, and picked up a bowl and devoured it. He hadn't eaten such a delicious meal since he left home to join the army.
