Chapter 15: Elimination of Demolition Quotas
I have to admit that An Lan looks good when she smiles, and her red lips and white teeth are very beautiful.
The wind on the roof of the building was very strong, blowing An Lan's hair, and as if she was in the way, she took out a rubber band from her bag and simply tied it together.
In short, she gave me a very casual, but very natural feeling.
Just like her beauty, it is natural, not after cosmetics, or plastic surgery.
"So, you used to be quite rich, huh?"
I'll admit I was a little absorbed in it, and it wasn't until she spoke again that I came back to my senses.
I smiled, subconsciously lit a cigarette for myself, looked into the distance, took a puff and said, "It's okay, I'm not particularly rich." ”
"But your reputation doesn't seem to be very good in the village!"
I frowned and said, "They even told you that?" ”
"Who are you named Chen Dacang and Chen Shifang?"
I was stunned for a moment, and replied with a wry smile: "One is my uncle, and the other is my third wife...... They told you, right? ”
"It seems that you don't have a good relationship with your personnel."
"If you believe what they say, then I don't think you're the same."
He seemed to be very busy with my business, and then he said, "Well, you can explain!" ”
I wanted to explain, but suddenly I felt that it was unnecessary, so I thought about it and said: "Forget it, I won't talk about the past, I still say the same thing, our family can be demolished if you want to, and I won't force it if I don't want to." ”
An Lan didn't say anything more, turned around and went downstairs.
When I was about to leave my house, my mother hurriedly ran out and called An Lan: "Girl, let's go after lunch!" I'm already doing it. ”
An Lan waved his hand at my mother very unappreciatively and said, "No, Auntie, I still have something to go to the town next door." ”
Then I chimed in: "That's it, Mom, you let her go!" People are busy people. ”
My mother couldn't persuade her, so she had to go back to the house and bring a big bag of oranges to An Lan, saying, "Girl, this is from our orange tree, and we haven't used pesticides, so you can eat it, it's sweet." ”
An Lan didn't want to take it, but after taking a look at me, he took it and said, "Auntie, thank you, I'll come to see you another day, there are indeed a lot of things today." ”
My mother nodded and sent An Lan to the door again, and I heard her whisper to An Lan, "Girl, can our house be demolished?" ”
An Lan also replied in a low voice: "Auntie, we have to go back to discuss this, don't worry." ”
With that, she got in the car and left.
In fact, I know that the demolition of my house is probably out of play.
Pity my mother, who cooks and delivers oranges.
But what I didn't expect was that the news of my mother giving oranges to Anlan soon spread in the village.
What did my mother give a gift to the developer and wanted to bribe the developer.
I was speechless when I heard these words, and sending a few oranges was a bribe, which is really not a human word.
But in the countryside, this bad thing spreads really faster than 5G, and soon the whole village knows about it.
Thinking with my toes, I also know that it is my uncle or the third wife who went out to talk nonsense, and they will not see our family.
I was angry, but I didn't have a temper at all.
Because I was facing the whole village, I couldn't fight them on my own, and I would be drowned in saliva.
My mother was also angry at home, and she wanted to explain it to the villagers, but I stopped her.
I don't think it's necessary, the more you explain, the more people will kick their noses in the face.
Things in the countryside are not as good as outside, I'm fine at home now, how can others be afraid of three points, knowing that my temper is not good.
But as soon as I left, my mother was miserable!
But I'm not going to sit idly by, and I'll pay it back slowly.
……
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the village director called everyone to the village committee again, saying that the developer still had some work to cooperate with and sign.
I didn't expect Anlan to come back, and I was standing on the edge at that time.
After she talked about some things, she got to the point: "We plan to demolish seven households in your village, but we discussed it at noon and decided to take out a place, and I also went to the site to investigate, and it is really not suitable for demolition." ”
Everyone is starting to get anxious, especially the families who have already been selected.
I'm not in a hurry at all, because I know that the one who has been eliminated is my family.
Sure enough, An Lan began to announce: "The head of the household who was removed from the quota is called Chen Feng. ”
Everyone looked at me as if they were gloating, more excited than they were to learn that their house was going to be demolished.
Immediately afterwards, An Lan said some things about the construction of a beautiful village, saying that the villagers need to actively cooperate with the work, and some of the following work will be handed over to the village director to complete on his behalf.
After the meeting ended, Anlan and her team left without coming to say a word to me.
The bag of oranges my mother gave her was gone.
It's just that my mother is so kind!
At this time, the villagers began to cheer, saying that other people's families gave gifts, and the developers of other people didn't take away the quota, anyway, they said something very ugly, which made me angry.
Anlan, I really remember you!
Immediately afterwards, the village chief asked the villagers to stay, saying that there was a delay yesterday, and everyone was there at this time, so he raised donations for the old village chief.
The whole village still had a lot of respect for the old village chief, and they didn't leave, and even some people who didn't come to the meeting came.
And my reputation is bad now.
You want to! My mom gave a gift to the developer, but the developer still didn't include our family in the demolition, what a joke?
So those folks stayed away from me, and even gossiped about me and my mother behind my back, obviously excluding me.
I wanted to leave, but the thought of collecting money for the old village chief made me hold back.
When I remembered that there was a big event in the village in the past, I was surrounded by them, and they asked me to stand up and speak to everyone.
At that time, my wife was also standing beside me, holding my hand very obediently, surrounded by envious eyes.
The feeling of being in the spotlight is still fresh in my mind.
But now, not only do I have the slightest sense of existence, but I am also excluded by everyone as if I were a foreign surname.
In terms of seniority, I'm not low.
The old village chief is only from my father's generation, and there are really few people here who are higher than me.
But because I was down, because I didn't give them much benefit at the beginning, and now when something happens, I want to remove me from the surname Chen.
This group of white-eyed wolves, if they hadn't built roads for them at the beginning, would they be happy now?
I should have known that the human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, and the more you treat them, the more they will take it for granted.
When you don't treat them well, they think you're a sinner.
These truths will only be known after experience, but at this time, it is already painful.
When I was making a donation, I suddenly received a phone call, and I didn't expect it to be from Anlan.
After answering her phone, when I knew it was her, my temper came up, and I immediately said coldly: "You still have the face to call me!" ”
"Why am I faceless?" An Lan asked calmly.
"If you have a conscience, hurry up and bring back the bag of oranges that my mother gave you, now my mother and I are about to be sprayed to death by the saliva of the whole village."
"Isn't it? Is it so serious? ”
"It's worse than you think."
"But this orange is very delicious, where is the reason for me to return it."
I laughed angrily: "Then what do you mean by calling me?" ”
"Two things," An Lan said very decisively, "The first thing is that I want to cooperate with you, and the second thing is that I really don't plan to demolish your house, but I have other uses, in short, I won't lose a penny from you." ”
An Lan's words directly stunned me, what does this mean?
And cooperate with me, what to work with?
After being stunned for a moment, I asked her, "You can be clear, I didn't understand." ”
"I want to cooperate with you, the plan you said in my office last time, I want to use it, you can make a price!"
