Hearing this name, Mo Shouchen was stunned for a moment. Wasn't Liu Zhuangshi the pudgy miner who first talked to him in the black coal mine and later caused trouble for him?
He saw with his own eyes that Liu Zhuangshi was killed by falling rocks when the mine collapsed. He estimated that this old lady was here to seek justice for her son.
The man in the courtyard said impatiently through the door: "What are you doing here? Didn't the mine send you the compensation today?"
"Village Party Secretary, these are the eggs I have been saving for a few days. I will bring them to you to try."
"Take it, take it. How can we, as leading cadres, accept things from the common people? I warn you, your behavior is called bribery, and you will go to jail!"
If you send a few eggs, you will go to jail. This village party secretary is really good at scaring people.
Seeing that the village party secretary refused to open the door, the old lady banged the door and cried: "Village party secretary, since you say you are a leading cadre, then you have to make decisions for us ordinary people."
"My son was buried in a mine and he didn't know whether to live or die. Not only did your Guo Xin not organize a rescue, he also made me sign some kind of agreement."
"Later, someone told me that as long as I signed this agreement, the mine would not have to pay any more money regardless of whether my son died or not."
"For 20,000 yuan, Guo Xin just wanted to get rid of our grandfather and grandson for 20,000 yuan. You think he lacks virtue? As a father, you can't cover up your son!"
"Keep your mouth clean!" The village party secretary kicked the door angrily, "A rescue team has been organized at the mine, and you signed the agreement yourself, no one forced you."
"The person sent by your son told me that if I sign this agreement, I can get 20,000 yuan first, and it will have no impact on the subsequent compensation. You are bullying me because I am illiterate, and you are committing fraud!"
"Who do you blame if you are illiterate? Okay, okay, don't make unreasonable troubles in front of my house. If you continue to make troubles, I will have you and your granddaughter arrested together!"
When she heard that her granddaughter was about to be arrested, the old lady quickly held the girl in her arms and said nothing.
Seeing the silence outside the door, the village party secretary inside snorted disdainfully, then turned around and went back to the house.
The old lady looked at her granddaughter in her arms, then at the door, and couldn't help crying again.
Mo Shouchen felt sad for a while. He wanted to go over and comfort him, but he was afraid that his sudden appearance from the green belt would scare the old lady and the little girl, so he had to give up.
"Grandma, grandma, don't cry. Let's go home. Dad may have gone home now." The little girl took the old lady's arm and consoled her.
This little girl should be about the same age as Ye Wen. Mo Shouchen sighed in his heart, she is another miserable child.
The old lady wiped away her tears and handed the egg in her hand to the little girl.
"Okay, grandma, don't cry. Niuniu, you can take the eggs home first. Grandma has something else to do, so she will go back later."
"Oh, grandma, please go home quickly. It's dark and it's not safe outside."
The little girl took the egg sensibly, then turned and left.
Watching the little girl leave, the old lady let out a long sigh, and then took out a bottle from her arms.
Mo Shouchen felt something was not right. He looked carefully and found that the bottle was colorful and looked like a pesticide bottle.
Seeing the old lady unscrewing the cap of the bottle and about to pour it into her mouth, Mo Shouchen quickly ran out of the green belt and grabbed the bottle.
When I took it in front of me, I saw that it was indeed a bottle of pesticide.
"what are you doing!"
The old lady angrily tried to snatch the bottle back, but Mo Shouchen quickly put the bottle behind him and advised: "Madam, no matter what, you can't commit suicide!"
"Who are you and why are you meddling in my business?"
Because he was afraid that the noise would alert the village party secretary in the yard, Mo Shouchen quickly took the old lady's arm and said, "Madam, Liu Zhuangshi and I are friends. I can't just watch you drink pesticides."
"Are you my son's friend? How is he? Is he still alive?"
Mo Shouchen glanced at the door of the village party secretary's house, then pulled the old lady away and said, "Madam, this is not the place to talk."
"Oh, okay, let's go to my house first."
After saying that, the old lady took Mo Shouchen back to her home.
The courtyard wall of the old lady's house is a low wall made of yellow mud, and the walls of the houses in the courtyard are also covered with a layer of yellow mud.
Such a simple environment is in sharp contrast to the grandeur of the village party secretary.
The old lady pushed open the courtyard door made of broken wooden strips, and then led Mo Shouchen into the courtyard.
The little girl happily welcomed her grandma back when she heard her return, but she didn't know that just now, she almost lost her grandma who loved her.
The old lady touched the little girl's head kindly, asked her to go back to the room to do her homework, and then took Mo Shouchen to the kitchen.
After closing the kitchen door, the old lady asked eagerly: "How is my son?"
"There is no news yet, but the best time for rescue is 72 hours. Brother Liu may still be alive."
Mo Shouchen watched Liu Zhuangshi being stoned to death, but he really couldn't bear to tell the truth, so he could only lie.
The old lady showed a disappointed expression. She sighed and said, "Young man, please stop comforting me. Now the mine is not actively rescuing people at all. My son is probably in danger this time."
As she spoke, the old lady started sobbing again, but because she had cried too much in the past two days, she had no tears left to shed.
Seeing that the old lady was mentally prepared for this, Mo Shouchen stopped comforting the old lady with lies and said:
"Auntie, don't worry, Brother Liu saved my life, so I will definitely help you get to the bottom of this matter."
Mo Shouchen didn't lie about this. If Liu Zhuangshi hadn't forced him to carry coal, he would have been buried in the mining area like the others.
So although Liu Zhuangshi was malicious, he saved his life in disguise.
The old lady shook her head disheartenedly: "It's useless. The village party secretary and his family are covering the sky in Guojia Village. And I heard that there are people in the province as well. We ordinary people can't fight them."
"Auntie, I don't agree with what you said. This is a society governed by law. No one can sit on the heads of ordinary people and shit on them. Don't worry about this. I will definitely help you to the end."
"Really?" The old lady looked doubtful.
"Really!" Mo Shouchen nodded heavily.
The reason why he wanted to help was that he felt that the village party secretary's family was really hateful and would not give others a way to survive.
On the other hand, I also feel that the grandfather and grandson are really pitiful.
And if he wants to sneak into the village party secretary's house and retrieve the black book, he must have someone who is very familiar with Guojia Village to help him.
And this old lady is the best candidate.
