When they entered the yard, they saw that Mrs. Cao had been put on the door panel, several people were surrounding her, and a guard was doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Yun Suji asked: "How is she doing?"
The guard captain said: "We have been rescued. It's so dangerous!"
"When did you discover it?"
"It's just not long ago," the guard captain said with lingering fear, "there's not a sound at all! If you hadn't said to check it every hour, chief, everyone would probably be hard-core by tomorrow morning!"
When Fan Twelve heard that the man was not dead, his expression finally recovered a little.
Yun Suji nodded. At this time, a woman came in and brought a bowl of ginger soup to Mrs. Cao. She drank it. Seeing that her face turned red and she had probably regained her breath, she asked someone to carry her to the
She lay down in the side room first, then called two women to look at her.
Old Mrs. Cao wanted to "break the fish to death". Yun Suji lit up a cigarette. He was not too surprised. In the old days, it was a very common practice: hang him directly in front of the enemy's house, causing the enemy's family to be ruined - the government
Regardless of suicide or homicide, as usual, the person who dies on the doorstep of the house will be regarded as the murderer. Even if the wrongdoing can be cleared in the end, the result will be destruction of one's body and family.
Even in rural China in the 20th century, due to various disputes, it was not news that women would break into their "enemy's" house and drink pesticides. Even trivial matters such as getting angry with family members or quarreling could induce women to commit suicide.
In China's suicide population survey, rural women have the highest suicide rate.
This is the rhythm that makes Fan Twelve and Liu Yuanhu look good. Yun Suji thought. He said to Fan Twelve who was trembling all the way after him: "Go and call Han Daoguo and Liu Yuanhu. I have something to ask.
."
Fan Twelve responded and was about to go out, but Yun Suji stopped him again: "Call Liu Yuanhu's wife too."
Seeing Fan Twelve go away in despair, the guard captain asked: "Chief, do you want me to ask someone to accompany you?"
Yun Suji shook his head: "If he runs away, there will be nothing to ask. There must be something wrong with him." He ordered the guard captain to guard the door of Mrs. Cao's room and not allow her to come out.
After a while, Fan Twelve called everyone together. Yun Suji called them in one by one for questioning. He was very familiar with grassroots work and could tell in a few words whether there were any shortcomings and whether the cadres were telling the truth.
Judging from his visits and discussions throughout the day today, Borang Village has no big problems, but a lot of small ones. To use a cliché: "The general direction is good land." As for the village cadres, asking the villagers to take more food and occupy more, they should do it for themselves
At this stage, the burden of living, being rough and scolding the villagers is not a big deal.
Yun Suji believes that there are only two things that can easily reveal the administrative capabilities of grassroots cadres: people's livelihood conditions and infrastructure. Whether grassroots cadres are dedicated to their work and how capable they are can be seen from these two points.
.Borang Village has done quite well.
The county does provide certain financial support for the construction of infrastructure in model villages, but most of it depends on the villagers themselves investing in the work and materials. If the village cadres do not have a certain degree of charisma and work ability, it is impossible to achieve all this.
As for anti-foot-binding and improving environmental sanitation, it is not a matter of solving people's livelihood issues such as food and clothing, but it is a real matter of people's livelihood. It is also an important criterion for testing whether cadres are serious about their work.
Therefore, he did not dwell too much on the details of village affairs, and simply asked about Mrs. Cao's affairs. He asked Fan Twelve: "I know that you came back from Shandong with Lu Yuanlao. You are also a tested old naturalized citizen.
.Please explain to me, what happened to Mrs. Cao’s son’s pension? Mrs. Cao always said she didn’t get it, did she get it?”
Fan Twelve said: "Chief! You have no conscience about this pension thing! We didn't hack her money. After her son had an accident, it was indeed Yuanhu who received the pension, and it was entered into the official account when he arrived in the village.
This is all written down in black and white..."
Yun Suji said: "Since I got the money back, why not give it to her and put it into the village's public account?"
Fan Twelve swallowed. Mrs. Cao's pension had been spent long ago. Fortunately, they had discussed this matter long ago, and Han Daoguo had found a policy basis at the beginning. So he was not too nervous: "There is a reason here.
Mrs. Cao has no son and no grandchildren - this means she has become an extinct household. According to the documents issued to us by the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the county, this is called a 'social security household with no heirs', and they return to the village to support themselves," he said.
After rummaging for a while, I found a crumpled red-headed document from the cabinet. It said that according to the document, the land of extinct households would be managed by the village and people would be hired to farm it. The pension would be managed by the village and reserved for major expenses.
.
Yun Suji took it over and looked at it. The red-headed document was not fake. The information about land farming and pension escrow were also fake, but there was a word "can" in the clause that the pension was escrowd by the village. In other words
In other words, it is not a hard and fast rule to hand it over to the village.
Yun Suji knew clearly that Fan Twelve and the others were "extremely poor", not to mention the Ming Dynasty in the 17th century, but it was also common in rural China in the 21st century. The word "ke" on a document can make a wonderful chapter. For
For villagers who are basically illiterate and semi-illiterate, how can they understand the mysteries? But this is not the lower limit - Fan Twelve and others still take advantage of the loopholes in the policy and play word games, which is somewhat of a "spirit of the rule of law."
"Your definition of being extinct is a bit far-fetched. The Cao family still has a daughter-in-law. You always know that there is such a thing as finding a husband and raising a family." Yun Suji shook his head, "That's still one thing. Secondly, the pension is
Mrs. Cao and Gai Feng have a share, so her share must be given to her."
Fan Twelve never dreamed that his daughter-in-law would also have to be counted as a share. When Yun Suji said this, he was a little panicked and said quickly: "Yes, yes, we don't have control over the policy."
"As for the issue of the extinct family, I won't bother with you." Yun Suji said, "Gaifeng has remarried now, so we don't care about finding a husband to support her."
"I will arrange to send Gai Feng's copy to her tomorrow..."
"You also want to pay Mrs. Cao's money! What does the word 'ke' mean? If you don't know, ask Han Daoguo to explain it to you." Yun Suji smiled slightly and said seriously, "In addition, we now pay social security on behalf of the farmers.
There is too little rice for each household, 400 kilograms per person, which is only enough for rations," Yun Suji said slowly, "People still have to wear clothes, and even if they have vegetables in their own fields, they have to buy salt; there are several families with small children.
, and you also need to eat some fish and meat... The contract farmers take too much advantage. I can’t say enough about the benefits of just this tax, don’t you think so?”
Fan Twelve was startled, knowing that he couldn't hide this trick, so he quickly said: "Yes, yes."
"Go and call Gaifeng."
"Yes, I'll go right away!"
After a while, Fan Twelve called Gai Feng in. Yun Suji thought she was about 25 or 26 years old. She was wearing an indigo tie-dyed Indian cotton jacket. She was neatly trimmed and looked unremarkable.
Surprisingly, although his complexion is dark, his skin is plump and moist, and his face is flushed. It seems that he is living a good life with Liu Yuanhu.
Yun Suji noticed that she had a slight limp when walking. When she entered the house, she knelt down and said, "Chief," and then she lowered her head and stopped talking. Yun Suji saw that there were tears in the corners of her eyes,
She knew in her heart that Mrs. Cao would not be able to survive after all this trouble.
In my heart I felt pity for the hardship she had endured, and she said kindly:
"Are you Gai Feng?"
"Yes, I am my slave."
"What's your maiden name?"
Gaifeng raised her head and looked at him, then lowered her head and said, "My parents died early. I don't know what my surname is. My husband's surname is Liu."
"Were you the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Cao before?"
Smelling this, Gaifeng's body trembled and whispered: "Yes."
"How did they treat you?"
Gaifeng lowered her head. Although Yun Suji couldn't see her expression, he could see the ups and downs in her heart from her slightly shrugged shoulders. After a while, he heard her whisper: "There is always a bite to eat."
He asked again: "Now that you are married to Liu Yuanhu, how does he treat you?"
Gaifeng replied almost immediately: "Treat me well! I am willing to be with him." She seemed to be afraid that Yun Suji would have anything to do with her and her ex-husband's family, and added, "Whether it means eating chaffy vegetables or being beaten or scolded, I will
Even if he is in jail, I will give him food and wait for him to come out!"
Yun Suji completely understood that what Lao Yang's wife told the truth was true. But he was a little strange, why did she mention "going to jail"? Then he smiled and said: "Who said he would go to jail?"
"Ever since you entered the village, someone has said this." Gaifeng whispered.
"Your husband has not committed any crime, so why does he have to go to jail?"
Gaifeng raised his eyes and looked at him, then lowered his head and said: "As a sesame official, he always does something wrong. He is usually very cruel to the villagers. Village Chief Fan just uses him as a mallet. What happened?"
It’s not like the wall fell and everyone pushed it.”
Yun Suji nodded and said, "You are quite knowledgeable."
"I don't dare, slave."
"Liu Yuanhu has some problems with his working methods, but he still does a good job." Yun Suji said, "It's just a rumor that he's going to jail or something. It's nothing like that."
"Yes, thank you Master Qingtian..." Gaifeng's tears were already rolling down his face.
"What's wrong with your feet? Did Liu Yuanhu slap your ass?"
Gai Feng shook his head and said indifferently: "This was left behind before. Four or five bamboo slats were broken off the bench. I crawled up to the kang that night."
Yun Suji was very sympathetic and said: "I have found out about your ex-husband's pension. It is wrong for the village to hold on to it. It will be distributed tomorrow! Logically, you should have a share..."
Gaifeng shook his head and said, "I don't want this money."
"This is your ex-husband's pension. You have always been married to him. You deserve it both emotionally and rationally..."
Gai Feng said decisively: "I will not touch anything from his family, whether dead or alive. Whoever cares about it will take it, and I don't want a penny."
Yun Suji nodded secretly, this woman was quite strong. He said: "Go out and ask Liu Yuanhu to come in." (To be continued.)
