Early the next morning, the village chief went to Yang Jinying's house, followed by Zhou Cuilan.

"Auntie, Zhou Cuilan has found me in your family's affairs, An Xia also looked for me before, and now the matter is known to everyone in the village, and I can't sit idly by as the village chief, what do you think of things now?"

"Hu ...... Village chief, my mother-in-law doesn't care about my family's life or death at all, my man is going to sell blood, she still wants to protect her three sons and not pay back, I don't care about anything else, I just want to ask for justice, if you don't care, I will go to the town and township, I will find the government, I see that the government does not care. ”

Hu Hanqiao looked embarrassed, and spread his hands, "Auntie, look at this matter, it is a family matter of your family, but if it gets to the town and township, it will affect the reputation and work of our village, and the leaders above will chase me for responsibility, and the higher-level leaders will be held accountable, and none of the three of them can run away, and the money will definitely be given, and no one can say what responsibility they have to bear." ”

When Yang Jinying heard that the government was going to hold him accountable, she was so frightened that she hurriedly got up from the bed, held An Xia's hand tightly and asked nervously: "Village chief, this, this is all our family's business, why does the government still care about the people's family's affairs." ”

"Auntie, Cuilan is going to sue the township, the old saying is that the people don't sue the officials and don't investigate, now Cuilan has sued, the government will definitely take care of it, she was stopped by me, I said that this is today I will definitely give her a satisfactory answer, don't go to the township to make trouble, doesn't it also seem that I am derelict in my work, at the end of the year, all kinds of evaluations, other villages have, our village does not have it, there is an honor and a reward, our village has suffered losses with your family's affairs, then how can the four brothers of the An family gain a foothold in the village in the future, auntie, you think about it."

"Grandma, the village chief is right, it's not a decimal, it's a lot of money."

Yang Jinying didn't expect things to come to this point, it actually involved the reputation of the whole village, and also involved whether her family would gain a foothold in the village, she suddenly turned her head and glared at An Xia, with anger rolling in her eyes.

Anxia was a little inexplicable, but quickly reacted, could it be that grandma hated herself because of this? The thought just turned around and quickly disappeared, because the grandmother's eyes quickly dissipated, and it was replaced by helplessness.

"Village Chief, I'm sorry for your trouble."

"Auntie, what you said tormented me, I'm a junior, what's not troublesome, it's just that I think this matter needs to be properly resolved, I finally persuaded Zhou Cuilan, what do you think about this matter?"

"Anyway, if I don't give money, I'll go to the leader, I'm not afraid of being embarrassed, let the people in other villages see, how the three elder brothers squeeze the younger brother, force the younger brother to sell blood, the family can't open the pot, the child can't eat, I'm not afraid of being ashamed, the shame is also their shame, I was bullied by them."

"Zhou Cuilan, okay, I said that it will be solved if it is solved, don't make trouble."

Zhou Cuilan stopped her mouth angrily, and a flash of joy flashed in her eyes the moment she lowered her head, it was still Brother Hu's way to bluff the old woman into submission.

"Village chief, the child is up, I don't care about it, yesterday I asked them to make up for the fourth child, but the three children don't give money, I'm a lonely old woman, what can I do with them."

"Auntie, then you agree to compensate the three families of the family and the country, and make up 700 for each family according to Zhou Cuilan's request?"

Yang Jinying nodded heavily, "I said this yesterday, and they didn't give it to anyone, hey!" It's useless for a person to be old, if I have it myself, I must give it to the fourth, how can I let him sell blood! ”

Speaking of which, Yang Jinying's eyes were moist, An Xia was a little uncomfortable, and her grandmother was also distressed about the fourth uncle in her heart, but why did she always let the fourth uncle suffer, what is this called distress!

"Auntie, as long as you agree, this matter is in front of you, I will coordinate it, this is originally my job."

After the village chief finished speaking briskly, he asked Zhou Cuilan to call the four families here, and he went to invite the respected old man Cheng Dezhong in the village.

The old man Cheng Dezhong has the highest rank in the village, the Cheng family is also a big family, there are relatives everywhere, and there are officials in the city who come to pay New Year's greetings to the old man during the New Year's holidays, so everyone in the village respects Cheng Dezhong for three points, plus the old man convinces people with reason, and never relies on his posture to suppress people, so everyone is also convinced, the older generation listens to him, and the children naturally dare not knock back.

After Zhou Cuilan left with the village chief, Yang Jinying sighed and wanted to say An Xia, but she couldn't open her mouth, and couldn't help shedding tears, "Why don't I die, it's me who dragged down the fourth child, if I die, what will happen to their brothers." ”

An Xia wanted to persuade her, but she finally didn't make a sound, went out and poured a glass of warm water, and then came in and handed it to her grandmother to moisten her throat.

The village chief came forward, and soon the four brothers of the An family arrived, the four brothers and their daughters-in-law all gathered at the old mother's house, the three brothers had a calm face, and the eyes of An Jiaye were not good, An Jiaye squatted at the door and smoked, An Xia quietly went out and handed two boiled eggs to the fourth uncle.

"Uncle, pad first, and I don't know when to eat lunch later."

"Don't, you take it and eat it to make up for your body."

An Xia was about to persuade, there was movement outside the door, the village chief helped the old man Dezhong to come in, An Xia and An Jiaye all got up, and the two of them each shouted grandpa and grandpa, which shows that the old man is very high.

The people in the house all stood up when they heard the movement, the old man came, and no one in the room was qualified to sit, except for Yang Jinying, who had a physical problem and couldn't get up.

An Jiaguo moved a large chair and let the old man sit on the upper seat, and after sitting down, everyone stood in front of the old man.

Cheng Dezhong is eighty-six years old this year, and he is also the oldest old man in the village, he has experienced several dynasties in Huaxia, he has never seen anything, what happened to the An family, he doesn't have to think about it, he knows that the fourth elder of the An family has suffered a loss, and the three elder brothers are too shameless, and they have no head to take advantage of their younger brothers.

"Jin Ying!"

"Uncle, I'm sorry for you."

Facing the old man, Yang Jinying had to shout uncle.

"You are not in good health, you should pay more attention, children have their own children's blessings, let the village chief be in charge, I will listen to you."

Cheng Dezhong nodded, and the village chief immediately briefly recounted the matter, and asked everyone while talking, except for the three families who did not admit that they had defaulted on their debts, the matter was basically all true.

"That's the thing, I'm the master, the family country, the family celebration and the family zhi, you give him the money that has been missing the family business over the years, and if you do all the family business, you won't lose anything, just leave a little more sweat, but this money can't let the family business come out alone, when you divide the grain, each of your families has divided it, and the grain has been sold for money, which is all grown by the family business, since you have taken the fruits of his labor, you have to share this and this labor cost together."

An Jiaguo looked at the village chief, and then looked at Cheng Dezhong, who was highly respected in the village, and he couldn't rely on this matter.

"Grandpa Dezhong, my family can't get out of 700 yuan even if they smash the pot and sell iron, do you want to force us to death, woo woo!"

Qiao Dongmei suddenly howled like thunder.
