Even though he knew that Liu Ermei might not really commit suicide by jumping into the manhole, but he was afraid of the worst, seeing that the momentum was not good, Deputy Mayor Tian quickly shouted: "Zhao Yan, hurry up, stop her!" Zhao Yan rushed up to Liu Ermei.
But he stretched out his hand to stop her and said, "Don't come over, I'll jump if you come over!" Zhao Yan could only stand by the pit.
When things came to a standstill, Li Dashan made harsh words, saying that if Liu Ermei didn't jump into the latrine, he wouldn't be able to spare her when she came back. Deputy Mayor Tian had no choice but to let Zhao Yan do Liu Ermei's ideological work.
Zhao Yan and Liu Ermei were facing each other face to face. She had never encountered such a situation and did not know how to do her job. She just calmed down Liu Ermei's excitement: "Sister Liu, don't worry, Li Dashan is scaring you, come here first.
Liu Ermei cried: "Go away,
Is he trying to scare me? I know it myself. When I came to his Li family, I never had a good day. It was because I gave birth to two daughters for him. He either scolded me or beat me. Now that I am pregnant with my son, you insist on forcing me to do so.
If I go and get rid of it, how can I live like this?"
Zhao Yan knew about the preference for sons over daughters in rural areas, and couldn't help but sympathize with Liu Ermei, but she still had to persuade her: "Sister Liu, times are different now, and having children is the same. Besides, this is a national policy.
, it’s the same for everyone, you can come with us." Liu Ermei snorted coldly and wiped it.
She shed tears and said: "Everyone's family is the same. To put it nicely, why did Yang Dacai's family in Qiancun Village give birth to three children? It's a national policy. If his family has money to pay, they are allowed to have children. If my family doesn't have money to pay, they are not allowed to have children."
Is this also a national policy? I think you officials are just bullying us poor families. Ugh."
When Liu Ermei said this, Zhao Yan didn't know how to persuade her, so she asked her curiously and quietly: "Didn't the town ask your family to pay?" Liu Ermei said: "They did, and they asked us to pay 3,000 yuan, but my family didn't.
If you are so poor, you only have a few hundred yuan to sell iron, so if you pay so much money, isn't it obvious that you are bullying us?"
Zhao Yan said oh, and felt more sympathy for Liu Ermei's family, so she turned back and asked Deputy Mayor Tian: "Mayor Tian, Liu Ermei said that rich people can give birth to children. This is not fair. I want to ask, since it is a national policy,
How can we collect money?" Deputy Mayor Tian hurriedly pulled Zhao Yan aside and said softly:
"Zhao Yan, there are some things you don't know. Fines for extra births are already an unwritten rule in various towns. The town's finances are insufficient. How will the village's work funds be financed? And how will the village cadres be paid? It depends on these fines. These
You don't have to worry about the matter, just persuade Liu Ermei to come out."
Zhao Yan thought for a while, agreed, then turned around and went to the pig pen, making a silencing gesture towards Liu Ermei. Liu Ermei looked at her in surprise. Zhao Yan got as close as possible to Liu Ermei and whispered: "Sister Liu, don't be nervous.
If you believe me, I will help you privately." Seeing that Zhao Yan had no bad intentions, Liu Ermei nodded. Zhao Yan continued: "If you want to give birth,
Son, then go out and tell them that you can find a way to hand over the money within a week. If that doesn't work, you'll come back to arrest them then." Liu Ermei shook her head: "No, I can't find the money, and they won't either.
You will believe me." Zhao Yan said: "I will lend it to you, don't worry, what I say is true, but you are not allowed to make it public, okay?"
Seeing that Liu Ermei still didn't believe it, Zhao Yan said: "You asked the village secretary to give you a guarantee, and I brought you the money without any negotiation. Don't worry, I won't force you to pay back the money. You can pay it back when you have it."
." Liu Ermei believed it. She knelt on the ground with a plop, crying and laughing: "Assistant Zhao, you are our family's life-saving Bodhisattva. We will always remember your great kindness and virtue." Zhao Yan quickly pulled Liu Ermei up.
, motioning for her to go out together.
After hearing Liu Ermei's promise that the fine could be paid within a week, Deputy Mayor Tian waved his hand and told everyone to stop the team, and then he happily went to the village secretary's house to drink and eat meat.
Zhao Yan sent 3,000 yuan to Liu Ermei the next day as promised. Liu Ermei and Li Dashan forced Zhao Yan to stay at home for lunch before letting Zhao Yan go with great gratitude. Zhao Yan was also very happy.
A small amount of 3,000 yuan was used to accomplish a good deed, which I find very interesting.
The fact that Zhao Yan secretly rescued Liu Ermei's family quickly spread quietly in Nanzhu Village. Most of the villagers were poor. Because Planned Parenthood originally had great resentment and dissatisfaction with the town government and village cadres, they did this to
Zhao Yan was extremely respectful and enthusiastic about this good thing, and almost everyone
Everyone regarded Zhao Yan as an honored guest. However, the village secretary and director seemed to be dissatisfied with this matter because Zhao Yan challenged their authority in the village. They had quietly asked Zhao Yan if he had lent money to Li Dashan.
Yan had no choice but to lie and say that he didn't. Even if they didn't believe it, they couldn't ask more questions.
A few days later, word of Zhao Yan's rescue of Liu Ermei reached the town, and Deputy Mayor Tian called her to go to his office to report on the work in the village. There was no work at all in the village, and Zhao Yan had already guessed that Deputy Mayor Tian
The real purpose of looking for her was to check things about Liu Ermei. Sure enough, Deputy Town Tian
Chang said straight to the point: "Zhao Yan, we have known each other for some time. I know that you are an honest girl, so I won't go around in circles with you. I came to you just to ask you. Now everyone is rumored that you borrowed the money."
I paid 3,000 yuan to Liu Ermei as a fine, and you tell me if it’s true?”
Zhao Yan smiled slightly, but she still didn't know the ultimate meaning of Deputy Mayor Tian's question, so she remained silent. Deputy Mayor Tian looked at her with a knowing look on his face, and said: "I came to you because of this.
I mean it personally, don’t worry, I won’t do anything to others
Tell me, is it true?" Zhao Yan still trusts Deputy Mayor Tian, and borrowing money is not illegal, so she nodded and said, "Yes, I think Liu Ermei is living a sinful life.
Out of sympathy, I lent it to her."
Deputy Mayor Tian sighed and said: "Zhao Yan, you shouldn't do this. You are still young and ignorant, so I won't criticize you, but you are not allowed to do such stupid things again in the future." Zhao Yan was stunned.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all, so he asked in surprise: "Mayor Tian, why did you do such a stupid thing? I don't understand. Please give me some advice."
Deputy Mayor Tian said: "You really can't turn around. Fines are an old rule of the town's family planning work. As a cadre of the town, you quietly lend money to villagers who violate the family planning policy. You have good intentions.
But you broke this rule. Firstly, what is the dignity of the village cadres who took the money? Secondly, how can the village’s family planning work continue in the future? Don’t everyone expect you to pay? Some people even doubt you.
Are the town officials hiding something fishy?"
Zhao Yan didn't expect that simply helping Liu Ermei would have such a big problem, and she quickly admitted her mistake: "Mayor Tian, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I didn't think it was so serious at first?" Deputy Mayor Tian said: "
You don't need to be nervous. I didn't explain the policy clearly to you at that time, and I was careless. But Secretary Yan will know about this sooner or later, and he will definitely criticize and punish you." Zhao Yan groaned, not knowing what to do?
Deputy Mayor Tian was a real person, so he came up with a solution and said: "Go and explain this matter to Li Dashan and Liu Ermei tomorrow. Just say that you only lent them 300 yuan, and most of it was borrowed from their relatives.
No matter who asks you, just say this, I will go to Secretary Yan and tell you." Zhao Yan
He asked uneasily: "Then will they believe it?" Deputy Mayor Tian said: "We all say this, it is up to others to believe it or not. Anyway, no one knows the facts. Remember, in any work in the future,
You can't act on your own whim. You just need to stay in the village."
Zhao Yan thanked Deputy Mayor Tian and was about to go to the office to talk to Lei Li when she suddenly received a call from Secretary Yan, asking her to go to the office. She didn't expect Secretary Yan to act so quickly. Could he want to do something to her again?
Zhao Yan guessed in her heart that she had already broken up with Secretary Yan anyway, and he was still such a villain and sent her to the countryside. If he was frivolous towards her again, she would call the police and she would never be polite again. Zhao Yan bit
Gritting his teeth, he knocked on the door of Secretary Yan's office.
