As soon as the young man standing under the podium spoke, the villagers immediately started making noises.

At this time, another thin-faced man also shouted, "Yes, the year before last, the village cadres also swore that they could make money, but in the end everyone worked in vain for a year."

"That's right, they cadres don't mean what they say. Who knows what this cooperative is like? Don't let us give you money by then, and you won't make the last penny, but you will lose money." Another one in his forties.

The middle-aged woman also spoke.

The words of these people aroused great resonance among the villagers present, and the discussion became louder and louder.

Seeing that the crowd below was getting more and more chaotic, Wang Defu quickly picked up the loudspeaker and shouted.

"Folks, be quiet and listen to me."

Unfortunately, the villagers did not buy Wang Defu's account, and the sound of discussion had completely drowned out the sound of the loudspeaker.

The situation on site has developed into an uncontrollable trend.

Wang Defu was a little helpless, and Chen Shanhe also froze on the spot, not knowing whether he should say anything next.

Li An did not speak. At this moment, he stood up. There was no panic on his face and he looked extremely calm.

He began to scan the crowd under the podium, as if looking for something.

Finally, Li An's eyes locked on a young man.

He had a bad smile on his face and was talking to another companion. From time to time he looked at the excited villagers around him, and his expression became even more proud.

"Wu Sheng!" Li An recognized it.

Although he was hiding behind the crowd and blocked by a tall man in front of him, Li An could still see clearly from the podium.

"Don't think about it, it must be this guy's fault. To be precise, the driving force behind it is his father Wu Wangtian."

"Director Wang, do you know those people who took the lead in speaking just now?" Li An turned to Wang Defu and asked.

"The thin-faced man is called Wu Jianzhong, the other with parted hair is called Wu Ziqiang, and the woman is Ding Xianjuan. She is Wu Yongqing's daughter-in-law."

Wang Defu's answer was very specific, allowing Ang Lee to figure out who was who at once.

"They are all named Wu."

Now I am even more certain that it was Wu Wangtian who caused this scene.

"What is this situation of unpaid wages they are talking about?" Li An decided to find out the situation first before handling the matter.

Wang Defu told the whole story with a helpless expression.

At the beginning of the year before last, Wu Wangtian convened a meeting with young people in the village. At that time, a cadre from the township came and said that the county was currently engaged in development and there was a serious shortage of workers on the construction site. The township found a way for everyone to make money.

As long as you work on the construction site, you can earn at least 800 yuan a month.

When I heard it was eight hundred yuan, the young men in the village became excited, and then more than a hundred young people in one village went to the construction site.

I worked like this for a year, but when I settled the accounts at the end of the year, my boss said that the project payment had not been paid, and now I had no money to pay wages, so I owed everyone first.

Just like this, it has been delayed again and again, and it has been more than a year without any sign of money.

"Isn't it recommended by the township? Why don't you go to the township to solve the problem?" Li An said with some confusion.

"We searched, but the villagers said they just recommended it. This matter was a labor dispute between us and the construction company, and they asked us to go find the boss." Wang Defu said helplessly.

"Didn't you go to find Wu Wangtian? After all, the villagers were recruited to work." Li An continued to ask.

"I searched for it, but it was of no use. He spread his hands and said that it was all arranged by the township. He was just a messenger, so it was useless to search for him. He was the branch secretary and the village chief, so everyone had to endure it."

Wu Defu sighed and continued: "We also inquired later. Not only from our village, but also from several other villages, many people went to the construction site but did not get any money."

Li An understood the ins and outs and understood one thing, that is, the township government originally endorsed the matter of going out to work, but because the construction unit did not pay wages, the villagers lost trust in the township government.

Wu Wangtian's move was extremely vicious. He used the issue of arrears of wages to migrant workers to transfer the villagers' complaints against the township government to himself. If this matter is not resolved, no one will be willing to join the cooperative, and the establishment of the cooperative will naturally be done.

No.

Just when the scene was in chaos, Li An saw Mr. Qin staggering onto the podium, took the speaker and started speaking.

"Folks, listen to what I, Old Qin, have to say."

As soon as Mr. Qin spoke, the villagers at the scene suddenly became quiet and looked up to the front to hear what he had to say.

"To be fair, we started visiting our village the next day after Cadre Li came. He gets up early every day and works late at night. Let me ask you which poor household Cadre Li didn't visit. You guys, think about the cadre who came to our village before.

Made it happen.”

"My two kids have finally figured out a way to make the village rich. Before you worked part-time, the boss owed money to you, what does it have to do with Cadre Li, and you still suspect it? What are they trying to do? I don't know if you believe it or not. Anyway, I

Old Man Qin believed what Cadre Li said and was willing to pay to join the cooperative."

Mr. Qin stood up and announced that he wanted to join the cooperative, which suddenly silenced the discussion below.

Li An couldn't help but feel grateful to the old man, "Mr. Qin, thank you for your support."

Mr. Qin knocked on his pipe pot and said, "What's the big deal? I just think your kid can do it. I believe in you, old man."

Seeing that the villagers' doubts subsided, Wu Sheng became a little anxious. He

He glanced at the thin-faced man Wu Jianzhong who spoke before.

Wu Jianzhong immediately understood the meaning and spoke again: "Uncle Qin, Cadre Li lives in your house. Did you accept the benefits from Cadre Li and stand up to speak to him?"

Wu Jianzhong's words aroused discussion among the surrounding villagers, and they looked at Mr. Qin with suspicion.

"Zhongwazi, you must speak with conscience. Everyone doesn't know who I, Qin Guigen, am. If I take a penny of the benefits from Cadre Li, I will die badly. But you, Zhongwazi, I remember you didn't go to the construction site last year. Why are you like this?

Positive." Although Mr. Qin is old, his brain is not slow, and he got to the core of the problem at once.

"I...I just want to fight for the injustice of the villagers." Wu Jianzhong said with a guilty conscience.

At this time, Wu Ziqiang and Ding Xianjuan immediately stepped forward and started to stir up trouble as soon as the situation was not right.

"Team Leader Li, if you really want to help us, then first get back the wages you owe us."

"Yes, Team Leader Li, that's the money we earned after working for a year."

"..."

Although Mr. Qin's retort made Wu Jianzhong a little embarrassed, he still couldn't resist the doubts of other villagers, and the scene was in chaos.

Li An didn't speak and stared at the scene silently. He wanted to see who else would jump out.

"Tick tock" At this time, the text message sound on the mobile phone sounded.

Li An took out his cell phone and saw that it was a message from Xu Kai.

There were only five short words in the text message, but Li An couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

【Shi Mao has learned.】

He quickly stood up and looked around, and sure enough, not far to the east of him, a group of people came over.

Wu Wangtian led the way. His brother Wu Youtian accompanied Shi Maoxue with a smile on his face, followed by Xu Kai, Yang Mengmeng, Wen Wen, and two accompanying staff.

Li An couldn't help but frowned, why did Shi Maoxue come here at this time, and that annoying gentleness was also with him.
