Zhang Guoquan suddenly became so determined, which surprised Widow Ma.

"Guoquan, if you had this attitude a few days ago, you wouldn't have been kicked out of Yangjiazhuang."

Zhang Guoquan smiled and said: "This time, that time."

After that fire, he discovered that blind tolerance could not bring peace and tranquility, especially in front of such a powerful opponent as Zhao Chunniu, who was so proficient in psychological tactics that even with his tolerance, he felt that you were afraid of him.

Widow Ma asked worriedly: "What if that person really calls a bunch of villagers and tramples your crops? With so many people causing chaos, we can't stop them."

"Don't worry, I don't think they will come. It's just a few rats in the gutter. It won't make a difference." Zhang Guoquan breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "It turned out that Zhao Chunniu was suddenly taken away, which caused some villagers to not understand for a while, and at the same time they were subjected to this

It took a few rats to beguile them together, but now that Zhao Chunniu is back, and after the passage of time in the past few days, the villagers are no longer so emotional."

In Zhang Guoquan's view, this change in the villagers is called forgetfulness.

For things or people that happened in the village, no matter whether they were good or bad, they would be forgotten in the chat within a few days.

As if it had never happened, when the days are quiet, the villagers still have to eat, sleep, get up and work in the fields every day. There are endless things to do, so there is no free time, and they have to worry about other people's affairs every day.

In the end, things turned out to be as Zhang Guoquan had judged, and the man who had not left after waiting for a whole day brought the villagers over.

Widow Ma was very touched to be able to return to Yangjiazhuang again.

Zhang Guoquan also specially brought Bai Ge over. She stayed with Widow Ma and chatted, so she no longer felt scared.

Because it was Zhang Guoquan who brought Widow Ma back, rumors circulated in the village for several days, saying that Zhang Guoquan and Widow Ma were having an affair, and that they slept at Widow Ma's house during the few days they left Yangjiazhuang. Rumor has it that they had noses and eyes.

When he returned to the village that day, Zhang Guoquan specially took Widow Ma through the village, going where there were many people. He was afraid that the villagers would misunderstand him, but he didn't expect it to happen. The villagers loved to think about these things, and no one could do anything about it.

Zhang Guoquan just laughed. As long as Bai Ge didn't care, he wouldn't be hurt by these rumors.

He couldn't remember when he had become like this. There were too many things that happened in the past year. He would only think of those things when he occasionally rested for a while while working in the fields.

past occurrences.

The villagers were forgetful, and he could not choose to forget. Forgetting meant that those he loved had really disappeared.

My dear, Guozheng, Yaoyao, you will not disappear with the wind.

In the past few days, Zhang Guoquan had been gathering weeds in the field. When he raised his waist, he looked at the low-lying river beach and suddenly thought of a question.

In the past few days, he had been working hard to expose Zhao Chunniu and Yang Jincang, but he had forgotten one important thing. There was a coal mine right below his feet.

Judging from the reactions of Zhao Chunniu and Yang Jincang, it is definitely not too small.

If the coal beneath Yangjiazhuang can really be mined, this will definitely change history for Yangjiazhuang.

But in that case, will the wastelands he worked so hard to cultivate really cease to exist as Yang Jincang said?

It may take several years to put coal mining on the agenda, but if it's near, he really has to think about the next step early.

Of course, the problem before us is between Yang Jincang and Zhao Chunniu. Zhao Chunniu's problem can be easily solved. There are breakthroughs, such as second-rate scoundrels, such as Yang Dafu, and Da Jinya's testimony. No matter how cunning and cunning Zhao Chunniu is, he can break through.

It's just a matter of time for him.

Just like Su Jincheng said, he won't be able to dance for a few days.

Only Yang Jincang is an old fox.

Originally, Yang Jincang's case was the best to resolve. It was also Da Jinya's accusation. As long as Xia Sujuan and the child Xia Zhu were found, Yang Jincang's accusation would be confirmed.

I don't know if Yang Jincang noticed something or for other reasons, Xia Sujuan and the child disappeared out of thin air, which put the investigation at a deadlock.

Who sent those letters? Why didn't they leave a name and address? They could go to the door to look for them and ask that person to write another one.

It's a good thing now, neither of the two things are successful, it's much harder than imagined.

The sound of cicadas in the poplar forest has become more intensive. They don't care about the affairs of the world. In their limited lives of just a few months, they only care about attracting mates and sowing the next generation.

Amidst the tidal chirping of cicadas, Zhang Guoquan suddenly thought of a person. Perhaps only he could change the current impasse.

This person is Yang Lei who didn't care about anything during this period.

Going to the big water hole at the west end of the village, Zhang Guoquan knocked on the door of Yang Lei's house.

It was Yang Lei's mother-in-law who came out. She said that Yang Lei was not at home.

Now that Yang Lei is no longer the village party secretary, he definitely doesn't have to go to meetings anymore, so what can he do?

The next day, Zhang Guoquan went to the west end of the village again and gave the same answer, Yang Lei was not at home.

Asked again, even if he went to town, his mother-in-law wouldn't know.

On the third day, the answer was still the same.

As a result, Zhang Guoquan changed from once a day to twice a day, once in the morning and evening.

If you are not at home during the day, you should be back at night.

In the evening, Zhang Guoquan made a special trip, but he was still not at home.

Zhang Guoquan ignored Yang Lei's mother-in-law's obstruction and went directly into the yard. He firmly believed that Yang Lei must be at home and was just avoiding him on purpose.

He had always been respectful and polite in front of Madam Yang Lei, but this time she clearly felt rude.

"Alas, what's wrong with you? Why are you rushing in so hard?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I'm really anxious."

Zhang Guoquan came to the main room regardless, and as soon as he opened the door, the smell of alcohol filled the room.

It seemed as if it had been soaked for several days, mixed with a rancid smell that made people feel sick.

Zhang Guoquan turned sideways, looked at Mrs. Yang Lei who was approaching, pointed to the room and asked: "Sister-in-law, this..."

Mrs. Yang Lei sighed: "Hey, you guys can talk about it."

With that said, she closed the courtyard door, closed the bolt, and locked it.

It seems that he is afraid that others will know that Yang Lei has become like this.

Zhang Guoquan looked at the mess on the ground, with many empty wine bottles scattered on the ground, while Yang Lei was sitting at the table in the main room, his eyes were scarlet and he had no energy at all.

Seeing Yang Lei's miserable state, Zhang Guoquan felt a little strange. This was completely different from the Yang Lei in his impression.

Zhang Guoquan shouted: "Yang..."

He suddenly paused. Last year, he should have been called Party Secretary Yang. At that time, Yang Lei, no matter whether it was a big event or a trivial matter in the village, he always took care of it personally and devoted himself to Yangjiazhuang. He could definitely take on the role of the three village Party Secretary.

words.

Almost, from the end of the year to the beginning of the year, it lasted for a long time. The villagers in the village all called him Lei Zi, and the children called him fool. Yang Lei, who had become stupid, liked both names, so Zhang Guoquan also started calling him

Lei Zi.

"Yang Lei..."

Since when did he call him Yang Lei? Zhang Guoquan no longer wants to think about it.

"Yang Lei, what are you doing? Why do you drink so much?" Zhang Guoquan asked with concern.

"Ah? Is it brother Guo Quan?"

It has been a long time since Yang Lei called him brother. At this moment, the two of them seemed to have returned to the first time they met in Yangjiazhuang.

Yang Lei's voice was hoarse, and it seemed that he had suffered a lot in the past few days.

During the time when Zhang Guoquan was running around for Zhao Chunniu and Yang Jincang, Yang Lei never did anything, but now it can be seen that he was also suffering from great torture of conscience.

"Yang Lei, shouldn't you be like this?"

Zhang Guoquan hopes that Yang Lei can regain his energy and contribute to this matter. He knows Yang Jincang very well and has been working for Yang Jincang. If there is his testimony, the deadlocked investigation of Yang Jincang will have another chance to restart.

In fact, Yang Lei was already doing his part. Regarding those letters, when he met Xia Sujuan later, he heard Xia Sujuan explain the reasons for the letters.

Yang Lei's eyes were red and his face was full of exhaustion.

He said: "Guoquan, I knew you were coming."

"Since you know you can't escape, why not face it bravely, and I will face it with you."

Zhang Guoquan felt that Yang Jincang was grateful to Yang Lei, so Yang Lei did not want to expose Yang Jincang's crimes.
