Chapter 1138: Breaking Old Thoughts
In the countryside, no matter who the house is, whenever the police come to the door, there will be a lot of gossip.
Some people even rumored that it was because of me that Cheng Xiaohu's two brothers and sisters were also implicated.
It makes sense that before I came to the Royal Forest Village, they had lived well for more than 20 years.
But as soon as I came, so many things happened, including that they also saw me in the police car with their own eyes in the afternoon, so it was natural that these bad thoughts would arise.
I didn't solve it that much right away, because sometimes the explanation is a cover-up, and I don't have to explain.
When the truth is revealed, they will naturally not frame me.
That night, I moved to a small wooden house in the field at the entrance of the village, and when I was about to cook a bowl of noodles to eat, Lao Deng brought me a bowl of rice, and there was meat and vegetables in the bowl.
Lao Deng is really good to me, even if others think I have made a mistake, Lao Deng is still on my side.
While eating the food he brought me, I asked him: "Old Deng, the people in the village now think that I have made a mistake, and I have also affected Cheng Xiaohu's two brothers and sisters, what do you think?" ”
Old Deng smiled honestly and said, "Dashan, I must be on your side in this matter, I don't believe you have committed anything...... We were all together yesterday, and we saw the police car go to Cheng Xiaohu's house to find Cheng Xiaohu's two brothers and sisters, what does it have to do with you! ”
"But that's what the villagers think."
"That's them, I don't think so, what happened to the two brothers and sisters in the process? It was the first time in our village that the police had come to the police. ”
I sighed softly and said, "It's a long story, and you'll know when this matter comes to light." ”
Lao Deng nodded, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to me: "By the way, Dashan, after you followed the police in the afternoon, Patriarch Liu came to the village." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What did he do?" ”
"I didn't do anything, so I asked what happened, and at first the villagers said they didn't know, so I saw the police go to Cheng Xiaohu's house, and then you followed along."
After a pause, he continued: "At first, the villagers didn't talk about you, they were all talking about Cheng Xiaohu, until Patriarch Liu said a word, and they began to talk. ”
I was stunned and asked, "What did Patriarch Liu say, do you know?" ”
Lao Deng was silent for a moment before he said: "He said that the village was safe when you didn't come, and so many things happened as soon as you came, and now the police are also coming to the door...... In this way, the villagers felt that he was right. ”
Although Lao Deng is stupid, he never tells lies.
It seems that these gossips in the village were deliberately made up by Patriarch Liu, and he really wants to take any opportunity to drive me away!
I sneered and said, "Old Deng, what do you think of Patriarch Liu?" ”
Lao Deng fell silent again, pouted and said, "I don't know how to say it, anyway, the villagers are quite afraid of Patriarch Liu." ”
"Why be afraid of him? Just because he's the head of the township? ”
"It's not all, the patriarch here can only be a very powerful person, basically we will do what the patriarch says."
I smiled bitterly again: "It's too feudal, it's really too feudal, this kind of rule has to be changed!" ”
"How to change? We've been like this here for decades and hundreds of years, and we can't change it. ”
"There is nothing that can't be changed, I think that our country was fully feudal at the beginning, and it was not reform and opening up, it depends on whether everyone can work together."
Lao Deng sighed and said, "I don't know about others, anyway, my Lao Deng is resolutely on your side." ”
I smiled and said, "Old Deng, it's hard to rely on my strength alone!" This matter has to be resisted by all of us, and we will work together to break the thinking of this old society...... Only in this way can everyone truly stand up and be their own masters. ”
Lao Deng looked at me with admiration on his face, and said with a smile: "Dashan, I don't have any culture, and I can't say such nice things about you, but I think you are right, we should do this." ”
I exclaimed, "If everybody thinks like you, it's not hard to do." ”
"There will be such a day." Lao Deng said hopefully.
In fact, I have been here for three months, and I can feel that most of the villagers want to change, so every decision I make is not understood by them, but most of them support it.
Just like Lao Deng said, there will be a new day, there will definitely be.
I can't give up, none of us can give up.
After Deng left, I lay in the cabin and thought a lot, thinking about how to change all this in the future.
If you really want to develop well, then you must break this old traditional thinking!
I think the first step should be to let the villagers see the outside world.
We must open our own doors, just as we opened our own doors to foreign countries during the reform and opening up.
Only in this way can the outside culture be brought in.
The second is to build our own schools, so that children can learn about the nature of this society.
In the end, the villagers will get the benefits, and if the villagers do not get the corresponding benefits from these changes, then it will be in vain.
Based on this, I had a good idea that our two townships would become one, and then advertise our situation here through various channels.
When the time comes, it is natural that people will come to visit us, and the benefits will undoubtedly be quite numerous.
That's right, developing tourism has become my next plan.
Our scenery here is very good, although there are no scenic spots, but our pure natural scenery, coupled with the unique customs and ethnic minority villages, can attract the preferences of countless travelers.
Thinking about it, I fell asleep.
At about ten o'clock the next morning, I received a call from Jiang Tao, who told me on the phone that he had found the person who made fake honey in Mingyue County.
After getting the news, I rushed to the county police station without stopping.
At this moment, the person who made fake honey has been controlled by the police, and he will naturally be tried by the law.
At the same time, I also saw Cheng Xiaohu's two brothers and sisters who had been detained overnight in the police station, and both of them looked like they hadn't closed their eyes all night, especially Cheng Xiaohu's whole body was unkempt and looked decadent.
Cheng Lu's whole person was also haggard, after all, they all knew that this was not a glorious thing.
After Jiang Tao came forward to mediate, I signed an agreement with the police station, asking Cheng Xiaohu and his siblings to publish an apology statement on the platform of the video, and to compensate the sales proceeds according to double the amount.
The result is already very good, the person who made the fake honey bears most of the compensation, and we only need to apologize to the public, and come up with the 5,000 yuan commission and 5,000 yuan in compensation.
But when I told Cheng Xiaohu about the situation, he told me that the money had run out, and now the family can't come up with the money at all.
