Siheyuan, don't mess with me

"No problem. Fourth uncle made a mistake, so he should be punished accordingly! I happened to go to the commune to report the situation. Qin Jiaguo condoned the underworld groups and bullied the working people in the village, but he turned a blind eye! People like him are not worthy of being the village chief!"

Wang Suo, who was standing by, thought, this guy is really ruthless. He wants to catch them all in one fell swoop! He will not leave any roots behind!

Wang Jiaqiang also wanted to go to the commune. Seeing his weak appearance, Chen Zhiguo said, "It's okay, Fourth Uncle. I'm going to the commune too. Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you at the commune! It's okay!"

Because there were so many people, they all had to walk there, so Chen Zhiguo accompanied his fourth uncle Wang Jiaqiang. Nothing serious happened to him, he just participated in gambling, and at most he would be detained for a few days and then fined!

The police station was right on the edge of the commune, in a separate compound. There was no message room, just a row of bungalows in the yard. Chen Zhiguo took a look around and saw a sign that said "Secretary's Office", so he knocked on the door and went in!

In the office, a middle-aged man was working. He was wearing a Mao suit and had a slicked-back hair. He looked quite imposing. He looked at Chen Zhiguo who knocked on the door and said, "Little comrade, what can I do for you?"

"Excuse me, are you the commune secretary?" Chen Zhiguo asked.

"I am the commune secretary, my last name is Wu!"

"Secretary Wu, I am reporting it!" Chen Zhiguo said indignantly.

"Oh, young comrade, don't be anxious. Sit down first and tell me slowly what you want to report." Secretary Wu was not flustered and spoke slowly.

"Secretary Wu, my name is Chen Zhiguo. I'm sixteen years old and a junior at Yanjing University of Technology. I'm here today to report Qin Baoguo, the head of Qinjia Village. He condones gangsters to commit crimes in the village. His second son fired a gun in the street, and his nephew opened a casino and loaned money at high interest rates. I have reason to believe that all of this was supported by Qin Baoguo..."

Chapter 41: Very satisfied with the result!

Hearing Chen Zhiguo's words, Secretary Wu's face darkened and he put down the pen in his hand. "Little comrade, do you have any evidence for what you said?"

"Yes, his nephew is in the police station. Secretary Wu, you can read his confession! Moreover, I am the person involved, the one who was shot and killed by Qin Baoguo's second son in the street!"

"Oh, classmate Chen, then please tell me the details of the matter!" Secretary Wu became interested and stood up to pour a glass of water for Chen Zhiguo. Forget about the tea leaves, they are too precious!

Chen Zhiguo recounted the entire incident in detail, without adding any of his own speculations or slandering anyone. He spoke entirely of the facts!

After listening to Chen Zhiguo's story, Secretary Wu also became angry. In the countryside, during the slack season, people would play cards and have a few rounds of gambling. As long as they didn't run into anyone, no one would care. If they did, at most they would just scold them and disperse!

But the things in Qinjia Village were exposed. They opened casinos, lent money at high interest rates, and then forced people to pay off their debts and houses. This was forcing people to break up their families! This was absolutely not allowed. What kind of society is this now? When the country was founded, we had cracked down on these people so many times. We just didn't allow these people to exist. I didn't expect that such a thing would happen within my jurisdiction. If it got out, the whole commune would be embarrassed!

Just when Secretary Wu was angry, there was a knock on the office door. "Come in!" Secretary Wu said unhappily.

"Hello, Secretary Wu! Why are you here?" The person who came in was Qin Baoguo. He had just hurriedly sent Qin Erbao to the commune hospital. He didn't care how the doctor treated his son and ran to the commune in a hurry. Qin Ergou was sent to the police station, and he came over to warn him not to talk nonsense and not to implicate himself!

The commune's hospital and police station were not far away, but Qin Baoguo was in the police station. His village chief's face was not effective at all. Not only did Qin Ergou not see him, but even the director and deputy director did not see him. The young man who was questioned had an impatient look on his face, "Director, the deputy director is trying a case and is busy!"

Qin Baoguo was confused and thought to himself, "This is bad! Are they trying Qin Ergou? Don't implicate Erbao!" After thinking about it, he decided to beg the secretary!

This is also a desperate attempt to seek medical help. He is so desperate that he has no other choice but to ask the secretary if he can think of a solution. As long as he can get himself out of the situation, there is still hope for the rest of the situation. If he also suffers the consequences, then the rest of the people and things will depend on God's will!

As soon as he pushed open the secretary's door, Qin Baoguo saw Chen Zhiguo sitting inside. His heart suddenly sank. Something bad was going to happen!

Sure enough, "Comrade Qin Baoguo! What can I do for you?"

"Secretary, I, I, I," Chen Zhiguo was present, how could Qin Baoguo ask for mercy? He couldn't say anything!

"It's just right that you're here. I have something I want to discuss with you. Please sit down and wait!" After Secretary Wu finished talking to Qin Baoguo, he said to Chen Zhiguo, "Student Chen, please step aside first. Comrade Qin Baoguo and I will discuss the situation!"

Chen Zhiguo nodded, stood up and walked out of the office. Secretary Wu followed him out and called out to the office next to him, "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang!"

From the big room next door, a young man ran out, "Secretary, you called me!"

"This is classmate Chen, please receive him!"

Secretary Wu did not return to his office immediately, but knocked on the door of the deputy secretary's office. After staying inside for two or three minutes, an old comrade followed Secretary Wu to the secretary's office with a notebook in his hand!

In the big room, Comrade Xiao Zhang warmly invited Chen Zhiguo to sit down and poured him a cup of hot water! The two of them started chatting!

Xiao Zhang is twenty-one years old this year. After graduating from high school, he was assigned to work as a correspondent in the commune. In fact, he was the secretary of the secretary, just another way of saying it!

When Xiao Zhang found out that Chen Zhiguo was already a junior at the age of 16, he could not stop his envy. At that time, most of those who could go to high school were elites, all aiming for college entrance examinations. They were divided from junior high school onwards, either to find a job or to take the entrance examination for a technical secondary school, and then they would be assigned a job and become cadres! Either go to high school, the purpose of going to high school was to take the entrance examination for college!

Xiao Zhang failed the college entrance exam because he was a few points short of the mark. He still feels very regretful when he talks about it now. He even jokes that if he had passed the exam, he might have been Chen Zhiguo's junior!

During this chat, Chen Zhiguo made a new friend. They exchanged addresses so that they could keep in touch in the future! Isn’t it true that friends are made little by little?

After chatting with Brother Zhang for more than an hour, Chen Zhiguo found that Wang from the police station also hurried over. Just as Chen Zhiguo was about to go out, he saw Wang push open the secretary's door and walk in. Chen Zhiguo could only continue to wait.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before the secretary's door opened and Qin Baoguo walked out. He glanced at Chen Zhiguo who was standing at the door of the big room with eyes full of resentment, and then walked out unsteadily!

Secretary Wu waved to Chen Zhiguo, "Chen Zhiguo, come here!"

Following Secretary Wu into his office, Chen Zhiguo nodded to the deputy secretary and Wang Suo in the office. After Chen Zhiguo sat down, Secretary Wu said, "Comrade Chen Zhiguo, we have verified the situation you reported and it is basically true. I will now tell you our decision. I hope this matter can end here!"

Secretary Wu took a sip of water and continued. "We are determined to stop this kind of evil phenomenon in the village. We will crack down on it severely and will never tolerate it! I have discussed with Deputy Secretary Wang. Director Wang will handle the criminals. Those who should be arrested should be arrested and those who should be punished should be punished. Qin Erbao, who fired the gun in the street, is injured and needs to recover for the time being. Comrade Qin Baoguo, the village chief of Qinjia Village, has resigned from me and Deputy Secretary Wang because he did not strictly demand himself and caused chaos in Qinjia Village! We will have to hold a meeting to vote on this follow-up. Does Comrade Chen Zhiguo have any opinions on our commune's handling of the matter?"

Chen Zhiguo understood that Qin Baoguo saved his son Qin Erbao by resigning, and he really had no solid evidence to prove that Qin Baoguo was involved in this matter. It could only be that Qin Baoguo did not stop it in time because he was his nephew. There was no big problem in talking about this issue!

Qin Ergou's shooting also happened when Chen Zhiguo was trying to grab the gun. If he could argue, he could talk about it for a long time. If he could delay it, Qin Baoguo could spend time looking for people and talking to them, and this matter might be put away lightly! Chen Zhiguo mainly seized the initiative and put the big hat on him first, so Secretary Wu had to deal with it seriously!

Why did he say in front of Secretary Wu that he was a college student, and only sixteen years old, to create a persona for himself, young and smart, with a promising future! Moreover, as a favored college student, Secretary Wu did not dare to gamble, whether Chen Zhiguo had classmates with deep backgrounds, what if he did? Therefore, in dealing with this matter, Secretary Wu's balance has already tilted towards Chen Zhiguo. Moreover, what Chen Zhiguo said was all true, not fabricated, and he was right everywhere!

In comparison, Qin Baoguo used his position as village chief to protect Qin Ergou, which was quite cost-effective for Chen Zhiguo, because the control of guns was not very strict at that time, and many people had guns at home. Fortunately, Chen Zhiguo could get a gun license and register the gun number, but many people had no explanation at all.

Moreover, he broke Qin Ergou's limbs. If Qin Baoguo really insisted on holding on, Chen Zhiguo himself would be a nagging question. No matter how you look at it, it would be an output of violence and excessive self-defense!

This also took advantage of Qin Baoguo's confusion. If he had come to his senses, he would not have been so anxious to talk to the secretary! Instead, he would have found another connection to negotiate with the secretary. In that case, Chen Zhiguo would be passive. The reason why he went to the commune to complain was to drive Qin Baoguo out of the position of village chief!

So Chen Zhiguo, who had thought it through, said, "Thank you, Secretary Wu, Deputy Secretary Wang. I admire the vigorous and resolute work style of our commune leaders, who hate evil as much as they hate evil! I absolutely support the decision of the commune leaders!"

Chen Zhiguo's statement made Secretary Wu and Deputy Secretary Wang feel relieved. They were afraid that Chen Zhiguo was young and hot-headed, and once he was dissatisfied, he would go to his friends and elders to complain. Especially in college, a teacher's network of relationships was much stronger than that of a commune secretary, after all, the people he came into contact with were different!

Seeing the young Chen Zhiguo being neither humble nor overbearing, Secretary Wu and Deputy Secretary Wang also sighed that heroes have always emerged from youth! They also wanted to make friends with such a promising talent. Although they could not use him now, what about in the future? Moreover, Chen Zhiguo's hometown and grandmother's home were both in this commune. It was better to make a good relationship than to make an enemy!

As for Qin Baoguo, it was easy to control him! After a pleasant chat, Chen Zhiguo was escorted out of the office by Secretary Wu and Deputy Secretary Wang. This scene was also seen clearly by Xiao Zhang in the big room. He also waved goodbye to Chen Zhiguo!

After my fourth uncle Wang Jiaqiang finished his confession at the police station, he was released. He didn’t dare to go back, and since he didn’t see Chen Zhiguo, he squatted at the door of the police station and waited!

Just as he was getting anxious, "Fourth Uncle, let's go home!"

"Zhiguo, where have you been? If you hadn't asked me to wait for you, I would have gone back long ago!"

"I was doing some things in the commune, so I've been delayed. Let's go, fourth uncle. I'm hungry!" There were people coming and going in the commune, and it was not easy for Chen Zhiguo to say anything to Wang Jiaqiang. Besides, he would have to tell his grandfather when he returned, so why not go back together!

At this time, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. When Chen Zhiguo and others came, it was almost twelve o'clock. Secretary Wu had finished his meal at that time. We have to say that Chen Zhiguo was lucky that Secretary Wu returned to the office after his meal. Otherwise, it would be uncertain what the outcome would be for Qin Baoguo. Chen Zhiguo just took advantage of the time difference and did not give Qin Baoguo time to react!

Chapter 42 The new leader of the Wang family!

When Chen Zhiguo brought his fourth uncle back to his grandmother's house, Chen Zhiguo was about to faint from hunger. He really regretted not taking out the bicycle. Now there was no chance. He had been running around all day. Although he was not physically tired, he had wasted time. Moreover, he had not eaten lunch. He was so busy thinking about things at noon that he forgot to get himself something to eat!

As we approached my grandma's house, we saw a group of children starting to shout, "Grandma, Grandpa, you're back!" The shouting of seven or eight children could be heard by half the village. Many villagers who came to watch the fun poked their heads out from the doors, windows, and courtyard walls. No one greeted my fourth uncle, as if they were very surprised to have returned!

Chen Zhiguo also felt the xenophobia in Qinjia Village. His grandmother’s family had lived here for more than 30 years. His mother and uncles were all born and raised here, but now it seems that his grandmother’s family still has not been integrated into Qinjia Village!

Chen Zhiguo had no way to solve this situation. Moving the whole family to Chenjia Village would work, but grandpa's lifelong hard work would be in vain. Besides, how would he solve the housing and land problem? Chen Zhiguo gave up the idea after thinking about it!

Since they are xenophobic, then let the entire Qinjia Village fear the Wang family, so that no one dares to cause trouble! However, when the news of Qin Baoguo's resignation comes back, it is estimated that these villagers will murmur in their hearts!

Several uncles and aunts stood at the gate to welcome Chen Zhiguo and the fourth uncle! Seeing them come back, they were all relieved. After all, rural people are still timid about entering government departments! Many old concepts have not changed, just like many elderly people call government departments such as communes "yamen", the concept has not changed!

Grandma and grandpa were standing at the door of the room, looking at their grandson and the fourth boy, they were also very happy! They took Chen Zhiguo's hand and pulled him into the house!

Several aunts were busy in the kitchen preparing food for Chen Zhiguo and Wang Jiaqiang. At noon, although the whole family was there, no one in the family was in the mood to eat because of the fourth uncle's matter. Since everyone was back, they decided to eat something to fill their stomachs and started preparing dinner in advance!

Chen Zhiguo was pulled by his grandmother to sit on the kang, while his grandfather sat on the edge of the kang smoking a pipe. Several uncles pulled stools and sat opposite them, listening to his fourth uncle telling about his experience in the police station!

Just as the fourth uncle was speaking eloquently, grandpa snorted coldly and knocked the pipe on the corner of the kang, "Blow, blow hard, if Zhiguo hadn't come back today, I wonder how you would have solved today's problem?"

Fourth uncle was suddenly speechless and lowered his head without saying anything!

Grandma wanted to say something to persuade grandpa, but when she saw grandpa’s angry face, she didn’t dare to speak!

"You are already a person with a child, but you are still so unstable. Our Wang family has always been honest and never steals or robs. How could someone like you appear? Tell me, if we give the house to Qin Ergou today, where will your mother and I live? Where will you and your family of three live? You are so old, aren't you ashamed?"

Fourth uncle's head was about to fall to the ground, and Chen Zhiguo spoke up, "Grandpa, don't talk about Fourth Uncle. I think, after this lesson, Fourth Uncle also knows what the consequences are. I believe he will never dare to do it again!"

With the help of Chen Zhiguo, Wang Jiaqiang quickly said, "Dad, I will never dare to do this again! I won't gamble anymore!"

"Not only should you not gamble, but you should also not hang out with those bad people," Chen Zhiguo said. "Birds of a feather flock together. You will learn different things if you hang out with different people!"

Wang Jiaqiang lowered his head. The Wang family had soft personalities, but they were obedient and listened to advice! They listened to what Chen Zhiguo said. They would not say, "We are your uncle and we still have to listen to you?" This kind of disdainful phenomenon appeared!

At this time, grandma came in and said, "Let's eat! We are all hungry!"

There were many people in the family, so they divided into three tables for eating. There were twenty people in the Wang family, big and small, and it was really lively to have a meal together!

My grandfather is Wang Changhao, and my grandmother has no real name, Wang Liushi.

My uncle, Wang Jiaguo, my aunt, Li Xiuying, two sons and one daughter, Wang Haowei, Wang Haojun, and Wang Haomei,

Second uncle, Wang Jiafu, second aunt, Liu Xiaomei, second son, Wang Haogang, Wang Haobo

Third uncle, Wang Jiamin, third aunt, Hu Hongli, one son and one daughter, Wang Haobing, Wang Haoyan,

Fourth uncle, Wang Jiaqiang, fourth aunt, Sun Fang, one son, Wang Haobo

Chen Zhiguo's mother is the eldest daughter, so the eldest uncle is only 35 years old this year, the youngest uncle is only 24 years old, the oldest Wang Haowei is only 14 years old, and the youngest Wang Haobo is only two years old and can just run around the yard!

Grandpa, four uncles, and Chen Zhiguo sat at one table. Chen Zhiguo tried to ask grandma to come over, but she refused. So Chen Zhiguo asked the older Wang Haowei, Wang Haogang, and Wang Haojun to come over and fill up the table! Grandma sat at her table with her aunt and the kids.

The dishes on the table were all brought by Chen Zhiguo, including wild boar meat stewed with cabbage, roe deer meat stewed with potatoes, Chinese cabbage stewed with vermicelli, and shredded potatoes. There were four dishes, but the quantity was sufficient! The staple food was cornmeal steamed bread, with four steamed buns made of two-grain flour on top!

The eldest uncle wanted to pour wine, but Chen Zhiguo snatched it away, poured it for grandpa and uncles, and poured some for himself!

Grandpa picked up the wine bowl and stood up. "All of us in the Wang family are here today. I want to tell you one thing. From now on, the words of our eldest grandson Zhiguo will be my words. If anyone dares not to listen, get out and stop being a member of our Wang family!"

Grandpa paused and continued, "As for the matter of the fourth child, I hope this is the last time. If anyone in the Wang family dares to gamble, does not learn their lesson, or has evil intentions, don't blame me for kicking you out!

And you wives, listen up too. If there is anything wrong with your head of the family, tell them right away. Especially the fourth son of the family, you won't tell them if he goes to gamble? What are you afraid of? Don't worry, your mother-in-law and I will support you!"

After saying that, grandpa picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, "Let's eat, we haven't had lunch yet!"

The uncle took a sip of wine, took the steamed bun made of two cups of flour and handed it to Chen Zhiguo, "Zhiguo, eat quickly, you must be starving!"

Chen Zhiguo looked at his two younger brothers, broke the steamed bun in his hand into two, and handed them to Wang Haowei and Wang Haogang respectively. Then he picked up another three steamed buns made of two pieces of flour, handed one to grandpa, stood up and handed one to grandma, and finally divided the steamed bun in his hand into two, giving half to him and Wang Haojun each!

Grandpa looked at Chen Zhiguo's actions and nodded repeatedly in his heart. The Wang family finally had a pillar of support. Although he was from a different family, he believed that Chen Zhiguo would not ignore these uncles!

After dinner, it was already dark, and Chen Zhiguo had to stay at his grandma's house for one night before going back. Lying on the warm kang heated by his grandma, Chen Zhiguo drank water and chatted with his grandma and grandpa. Most of the time, it was his grandma who asked questions and Chen Zhiguo answered, while his grandpa smoked a pipe beside him!

Just when Chen Zhiguo and his grandson were having a great time, Gu Cheng couldn't sleep tonight. The Chinese New Year is just three or five days away, so why is there still no news about Chen Zhiguo?

In the courtyard, there were also people suffering from insomnia. Yan Bugui was tossing and turning in bed. Auntie Three couldn't help but get a little angry. "Stop tossing and turning. The heat in the quilt is all gone! What are you thinking about if you don't sleep?"

Yan Bugui likes to scheme, and the third aunt knows it very well. In his situation, he must be thinking about something again! Yan Bugui said angrily, "It's still that little girl He Yushui. I thought she was easy to coax and just said a few nice words to her. Now, when I go to her house, she ignores me and hides in the room. She doesn't even listen to Sha Zhu! Now, I can't even find her in the yard. She stays at Chen Zhiguo's house every day and doesn't even go home!"

"She is dating Chen Zhiguo?" Auntie's gossiping nature came up again.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How old is He Yushui? Besides, Chen Zhiguo is not at home. He has gone back to his grandmother's house. It is convenient for He Yushui to go to his house to study!" Yan Bugui knew that even if Chen Xiaoli did not open the door, he could not enter the yard even if he just asked through the big iron gate, and He Yushui ignored him at all! Yan Bugui was anxious and angry now, and there was nothing he could do. He could only wait for Chen Zhiguo to come back and have a good talk with him to persuade He Yushui!
