"I know the relief food, and the state distributes it to every village every year. But I have left this matter to the head of the village committee. In the villages around us, the director of the oil village committee is responsible for distributing grain to each family. Several of our village chiefs are responsible for the affairs of the village, so we didn't bother with this matter. Why? Could it be that there is a problem with the measurement?" replied the village chief truthfully.

"Village chief, don't you know that none of the villagers have received relief food?" Chen Meilan said suspiciously.

Chu Yang also chimed in, "We just visited more than 10 families, the poorest families in the village, and they all said that they had never seen the relief food distributed. ”

The village chief was stunned and said, "I don't know about this, the village chief's family conditions are still able to make ends meet, so I donated my share to the villagers so that they can eat more." This is a big deal, and I have to hold the village committee director accountable. Let him explain the whereabouts of the relief food. ”

Chen Meilan grabbed the village chief who was about to rush out of the door and said, "Village chief, you can't be impulsive, this is a big deal, they must have conspired together." If you rush out to hold accountable now, I'm afraid you're going to startle the snake. When the time comes, not only will they not admit it, but they may also disappear. ”

Chu Yang said: "Yes, village chief, we can't be excited. We have to take a long-term view of this matter, and you just said that the director of the village committee is responsible for distributing the relief food in the surrounding villages. Then there could be a situation where several directors banded together to hide the country's relief food. If this is caught, it is a serious crime and a sentence will be imposed. They must have done so after careful deliberation. If you want to catch them, you must find out all of them, otherwise the villagers in the surrounding villages will continue to suffer. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, what you said is reasonable, I'm confused. Okay, I'll leave this matter to you two young people, and if you need anything, just let the village chief know, and I'll do my best to help you. The village chief patted his forehead and said.

The village chief smiled and said, "You two came just in time today, I will go to Lijia Village for a wedding wine in a while." You two, come with me and inquire about the situation in the next village. At the wedding banquet, the village chief and director of Lijia Village will also come. You can also take a closer look. By the way, have a happy drink, fill your stomach and go back. ”

As soon as Chen Meilan heard that there was something delicious, her eyes widened with excitement, "Village Chief, then we have to thank you, by the way, which one is holding the wedding wine? Why do you have such a good relationship with the village chief, and you are still invited to go?"

"Meilan, don't say it, it's the family that went to your house to propose relatives before. The man who almost married Meiling, and it seems that their family has finally married a daughter-in-law. The village chief replied.

Chen Meilan's eyes widened in surprise: "What? The stupid son of that family actually found a daughter-in-law, which girl is so blind, married him, does the girl also have any defects?"

The village chief replied, "I don't know much about that, but we'll see it later." ”

Chen Meilan called Chu Yang, "Let's go, let's go and see which girl is so unlucky." ”

After a while, the three of them walked to Lijia Village on foot. Because the villages are relatively small, the whole village will come to join in the fun if there is a happy event.

No, there are gongs and drums, firecrackers, and performances in the village. The whole village is filled with a festive atmosphere.

The banquet also has several large tables, although the table is not like the 21st century, it is full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, big fish and meat.

But there are also a lot of dishes on the table. It can be seen that the family hosting the banquet should have a solid family background in the village and have some status. Otherwise, how could it alarm the village chief and director?

"Meilan, you and the young man, go find a place to sit first, and I'll go and say hello to the village chiefs of Lijia Village. The village chief instructed.

Chen Meilan said: "Okay, village chief, you go and get busy, don't worry about us, we have no problem ourselves." ”

After that, the two and the village chief went their separate ways.

"Chu Yang, let's go, let's go sit over there. It's a little closer to the bride over there. Maybe I can say a couple more. Chen Meilan turned her head to Chu Yang and said.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, why do you care so much about this bride?" Chu Yang said the doubts just now.

"It's not because the perverted man's family paid for my sister's entry, but I want to see which family's daughter they paid for this time. Chen Meilan said indignantly.

The feast finally began, and both the bride and groom came out to bow down to their parents and toast everyone. But strangely, the parents of the woman's family were not seen in attendance. And the bride's eyes were red and swollen as if she had cried. The whole person was still trembling slightly.

This strange thing made Chen Meilan pay attention. Chen Meilan looked at the bride carefully, and she found that this woman did not look like a local.

This woman has delicate skin, and she does not resemble the people in the village, who have dark skin and even sunburn because of their years of hard work.

But this little girl's house is strangely beautiful. How do you look like a city person, the more I think about it, the more I feel a chill in my back Chen Meilan thought to herself, this will not be a realistic version, she was sold to be a wife after being abducted.

In the modern era of the 21st century, Jiang Man often sees all kinds of news on the Internet, every year a woman goes missing, in fact, she is abducted and trafficked to the mountains to be a wife and give birth to children.

How did this cross back, all kinds of strange things can be called to her, first corruption, and now there is a trafficking case. "Am I in the wolf's den?" Chen Meibai muttered secretly in her heart.

Chen Meilan cautiously poked Chu Yang, who was sitting next to her, and said, "You observe that bride, I always feel that he doesn't look like a person from this place." Can such a clear-eyed man be willing to marry a fool? There must be a hidden meaning behind this. ”

After listening to Chen Meilan's words, Chu Yang also began to look at the woman carefully. After a while, Chu Yang said: "Indeed, this woman looks like a native of Jiangnan, her height is shorter than that of people in Kyoto, she is beautiful, and her skeleton is thin. ”

"Then how could this Jiangnan woman come to marry into this big mountain?" Chu Yang scratched his head and said suspiciously.

"Do you need to ask? Are you stupid? Of course you were trafficked here. If you look at her red and swollen eyes, it must be, I don't know how many days and nights I've been crying. It's swollen like an apple. Chen Meilan said speechlessly.

"No, being abducted and trafficked and being a wife for others is such a long way. This has to cost a lot of money, right?Can the family here have such a lot of financial resources?" Chu Yang said suspiciously.

"You still say that he used a lot of money to buy my sister and give his stupid son a daughter-in-law, and his family must have the money, but I don't know where this woman bought it. Chen Meilan replied.

"Then this little girl is too pitiful, or let's get him out. Chu Yang said with a straight face.

"Rescue, you're crazy, this is someone else's territory, people have money and people, the two of us are weak, who else do you want to call? Chen Meilan admired Chu Yang's naïve fantasy very much.

Chen Meilan then said: "Don't worry, their marriage must be settled, the whole village is here, can you still let this woman run away." However, the man was a fool, and he probably couldn't do anything to the girl in the short term. We can buy time to get the words out of the woman's mouth. Let's find a way to get her out of the wolf's den. ”

Chen Meilan and Chu Yang looked at each other and nodded.
