The old woman's words made Li Bingyu feel heavy. She deeply felt the local people's desire to get rid of poverty. However, Hongshi Village has many mountains and little land, and the land is not fertile. There are not many trees on the mountains because of the many rocks, so the only resource is the mountains.
stones, which became their only hope to escape poverty.
Li Bingyu hesitated, feeling very conflicted. From her own heart, she did not advocate development. But seeing the poverty of the villagers in front of her, Li Bingyu couldn't bear to draw such a conclusion. Could it be that development and environmental protection are really irreconcilable?
Conflict? Li Bingyu was a little hesitant.
One day, Li Bingyu was wandering around the hillside outside the village in a irritable mood. Xu Yan ran up the mountain and shouted: "Boss, County Magistrate Ye is here and looking for you."
Li Bingyu was about to go down the mountain when she saw Ye Wei coming up behind Xu Yan.
Li Bingyu hurriedly greeted him and said, "County Magistrate Ye, why are you here? If you have anything to do, just let us know and go back. I'd like you to go there in person."
Ye Wei said jokingly: "First of all, I'm not here to supervise you. Are you not allowed to be lazy occasionally?"
Li Bingyu lowered his head and didn't know how to answer. Ye Wei explained himself: "I also passed by here when I was going to the countryside. How about stopping by to have a look? Come with me for a walk." Xu Yan went back first knowingly.
After walking for a while, Ye Wei found that Li Bingyu was depressed and talked less than usual, so he asked with concern: "You seem to be in a low mood. Are you encountering any difficulties at work? Can you tell me about it?"
?”
Li Bingyu smiled politely, shook her head slightly, but still said nothing.
Ye Wei continued to joke: "If it's not a work matter, it's a relationship matter. Has our Director Li found his sweetheart?"
Li Bingyu quickly clarified: "That's not the case, County Magistrate Ye. It's just that I am in a bad mood and am a little upset."
Ye Wei smiled and said: "Xiao Li, we are not much different in age, we should still be able to talk, right? If you have anything you can't figure out, tell me, maybe it will make you feel better."
Li Bingyu thought for a while and said: "Isn't it because of the marble development? I am very conflicted now and in a dilemma."
Ye Wei asked curiously: "Troubled? Has anyone put pressure on you?" In fact, Ye Wei had already guessed in his mind that Luo Hongchun must have given instructions to Li Bingyu.
Li Bingyu did not answer directly, but pointed to Hongshi Village at the foot of the mountain and said: "County Magistrate Ye, look, after so long of reform and opening up, there are still such poor places in our county. Seeing the elderly and children who stay in the village, I
I feel really heartbroken.”
Ye Wei also nodded seriously and said: "Yes, they are indeed suffering too much. This is also a dereliction of our work."
Li Bingyu said in embarrassment: "They learned from the town that the county was going to develop marble. They were really happy. They have regarded the development of marble as the only way for them to get rid of poverty. How can I bear to see them disappointed."
Ye Wei looked at Li Bingyu, waiting for her to finish what she wanted to say.
Li Bingyu continued: "A grandma told me that all the young people in the village have left, and Hongshi Village may not be around for a long time. But they did not expect that if marble development was really carried out, Hongshi Village would not be able to survive either."
Ye Wei knew that Li Bingyu had a simple mind and was probably not struggling to balance the power between him and Luo Hongchun. She was really worried about the fate of this small mountain village.
Ye Wei enlightened: "Xiao Li, you are thinking too extreme. If society wants to move forward, the interests of some people will always be sacrificed. This is a historical law."
