297 Reputation is the most important
Wei Chunan is almost fifty years old. It is a shame to say that in most of his life, he has only been to the county town twice.
As for places farther and larger than the county seat, he has never been there.
The county seat is the largest city he has ever visited in his life, and it is also the only place that can be called a city.
He is an out-and-out, honest old farmer.
When he talked about the county town and its people, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe from the bottom of his heart.
Now my brother had an accident in the county town. It is said that he was taken to the Beiguan Village Committee and asked the village cadres and family members to pick him up.
The village cadre said he had something to do and refused to go. He just came to report a message to him and left.
The attitude is very clear, he is your biological brother, I have given you a letter anyway, it is up to you to decide whether to go or not.
This is actually just trying to catch a duck.
No matter how much Wei Chunan was in awe of the people in the county, he still had to go.
It was getting dark, so he was discussing with his family and decided to go to the city overnight.
Because he didn't know where Beiguan was, he hoped to get to the county seat one step at a time as soon as possible, and then ask people where the Beiguan Village Committee was.
But his family told him that it is getting dark now, and it will be midnight by the time you reach the county seat. Who can he ask about the Beiguan Village Committee?
I suggested that he get up early in the middle of the night and wait until dawn when he reaches the county seat, so that he can find someone to inquire about.
Of course, this suggestion from my family should be the most feasible.
But Wei Chunan was anxious. He just wanted to get to the county seat as early as possible. Even if he had to sit there all night, he would have arrived at the county seat and feel at ease.
Then his family asked him if he should go and talk to Chunping's wife?
Logically speaking, I shouldn't tell her about this, because I'm afraid she'll get anxious if I do.
But if you don't tell me, it will definitely cost money to go to the county to pick up someone, and your family won't be able to afford much money.
What if there is not enough money?
Chunping's family must be rich, so let her come up with some money to avoid going to the county town and not being able to get it back if she doesn't have enough money.
Wei Chunan thinks it makes sense.
I wanted to talk to my brother-in-law and ask her for more money, but when I thought of her mouth, I didn't want to face her.
Finally, send the child to talk to your second aunt.
In fact, the child didn't want to face the second aunt and didn't want to go.
In recent years, the second aunt's family has become more and more prosperous. The second aunt and the second uncle are very rampant in the village, and the eldest brother's family is bullied by them.
Who wants to face such a person!
The child muttered, "I'm not going. What should I tell her if I do?"
"What are you saying?" Wei Chunan said, "Just say that something happened to your second uncle in the county. I want to go to the county to pick up people. I'm afraid that I won't be able to pick up people because I don't have enough money. I'll give your second aunt the little money."
Let me take it."
The child couldn't see clearly and started to chirp.
After a while, he came back angrily. As soon as he reached the yard, he shouted: "Dad, don't go, let him be there. Whoever wants to take him there!"
Wei Chunan was very surprised and asked the child what was wrong.
"My second aunt scolded me so hard. She said she was making up lies and cursing my uncle, and she also wanted to defraud her of her money. I was so angry!"
Wei Chunan was silent.
He knew that the quality of this brother-in-law was very poor, but he did not expect that she would be so poor.
What kind of heart does she have?
We are all a family. Can a child make up such lies to curse his uncle and then defraud you of your money?
Fortunately she could figure it out!
The whole family was very angry and advised him not to go.
Of course Wei Chunan was also very angry, but he still had the same thought. He was angry, but he still had to go to the county seat.
It's nothing more than bringing all the money from home. If you don't have enough, you can only take these first.
No matter what, his responsibility as the eldest brother lies with him anyway, if his only biological brother is allowed to be detained in the county.
When word gets out, people will say that the old Wei family is dead.
Then there are people who say that Wei Chunan disowns all his relatives and doesn't care if anything happens to his brothers and just stands by and does nothing.
Wei Chunan cannot afford these big hats.
If people in the east and west villages spread the word that they are like that, their daughters will not be able to get married in the future, and it will be difficult for their sons to find a wife.
Another point is that the divorce of the eldest daughter Wei Hong has actually caused Wei Chunan to have a psychological disorder.
Just like I had done something immoral, I was afraid of running into acquaintances when I went to the market.
I always feel like my personality is incomplete, like a dwarf.
Now that something happened to his brother, he couldn't let anyone leave him alone no matter what!
As he was packing his bags for the county seat, the village cadre came again and asked him to go to the village committee to answer the phone. It was someone from the Chengguan Town Government.
Wei Chunan was so frightened that his legs went weak.
When he heard that his younger brother was detained in the Beiguan Village Committee, Wei Chunan was extremely timid and didn't know how he would face the people in Beiguan after he went there.
Now it's even worse, even people from the Chengguan Town Government called to look for him.
How big of a crime did Chunpei commit?
Even the Chengguan Town Government was alarmed!
Wei Chunan ran to the village committee with a flashlight on.
My mind kept buzzing.
When I got to the village committee and picked up the phone, the way I held the receiver was ridiculous.
He lived to be almost fifty years old. When did he make a phone call?
I was talking into the receiver, um, um, um, um, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, don't know what to say.
Then suddenly a voice rang on the phone: "Uncle!"
Wei Chunan was so frightened that he almost threw the receiver away.
"咹,咹咹咹..."
The voice in the receiver continued: "Uncle, you don't need to speak, just listen to me. I am Okura!"
"Oh, oh oh oh..."
That's right, Wei Chunan recognized his nephew's voice.
He wanted to ask his nephew loudly in surprise, wasn't it about the call from the Chengguan Town Government? Why is it you, nephew?
But thinking about his nephew not letting him speak, he could only utter a lot of exclamations.
The eldest nephew in the receiver continued:
"Uncle, are you planning to come to the county to pick up my second uncle?
You don't have to come, I've already brought my second uncle out.
But you just pretend you don't know that he has been taken out.
You should come out and tell everyone that you are going to the county town to collect people.
Leave now.
But don’t really go to the county seat. Go to my house and stay at my house for one night.
I'll go home in a moment, and I'll tell you in detail what's going on."
"Oh, oh oh oh!" Wei Chunan understood what was going on this time and nodded in agreement.
"Also, uncle, don't tell the people in your village committee that the call was from your nephew. Just say it was from the Chengguan Town Government and asked you to go to the county seat. If I didn't say it was from the Chengguan Town Government,
People in your village may not call you."
"okokokok……"
Anyway, when Wei Chunan made this phone call, he didn't say a word, all he made was exclamations.
As he walked home from the village committee, his mind was made up.
Since he didn't have to go to the county town or face the powerful people in the county town, he was as relaxed as if a heavy burden had been lifted off him.
Then Okura asked him to go to Liangjiahe to stay for one night, and told everyone that he had gone to the county town to bring his younger brother.
Wei Chunan guessed that Okura might have arranged this in order to take care of his own reputation.
After all, no one knows that Chunping was released by the people in Beiguan.
What people in the village know now is that the village cadres spread the news that Wei Laoer was detained by people from Beiguan in the county seat.
In other words, the news has basically spread to most of the village.
The village is usually too quiet, there are no news events, and everyone is very bored. Such explosive news that Wei Laoer was detained will definitely spread instantly.
In other words, Chunping's wife, no one else would tell her such bad news.
In other words, if Wei Chunan remains stable at home after the news of his brother's detention spread, then rumors will spread that Boss Wei is ruthless and does not care about his brother.
So the best way now is to pretend not to know that Chunping has been taken out, and continue to tell people that he went to the county town to pick him up.
Wei Chunan felt that his nephew was considerate and considerate.
