Chapter 1416: Don’t Use Human Life as a Stepping Stone

Chapter 1416: Don't use human life as a ladder

"... You should cover yourself with a blanket, so you won't be afraid of freezing." Chao Haiquan's wife is Xiao Guizhen, who is from the same village as Chao Haiquan. Both of them are from Xianxi Township. Xiao Guizhen saw her husband sitting on the edge of the kang with his bare chest smoking, so she stopped her needlework and covered her husband with a blanket.

"He came yesterday and said that the provincial inspection team had been in the city for two days, so why didn't they come to our Xianxi Township to take a look?..." Chao Haiquan smacked his lips and muttered to himself.

Xiao Guizhen was threading the needle, her eyelids twitched, she glanced at Chao Haiquan, her thin eyebrows raised: "...Don't have that idea, Secretary Zhao is such a high-ranking official, he is so busy, why would he come to our poor mountain village? Is he here to starve? Don't listen to my brother's nonsense, even if Secretary Zhao really came, would he recognize him? He is a carpenter doing renovation, how can he go to heaven?" Chao Haiquan snorted: "What's wrong with Secretary Zhao? No matter how high his official position is, he is still a human being. ... This may really be true , your brother is not a carpenter, that is a fine decoration. There are many rich people in Quanshan now, and the houses they live in are all exquisite. He has made some money in the past few years and has seen some of the world. The family he worked for this time is said to be a deputy mayor of Quanshan City, otherwise why would the house be stopped after only half of the decoration? I don’t think this is wrong. "

"Even if Secretary Zhao personally led the team, it would not be necessary to stop the decoration of the house? Could it be that Secretary Zhao even cares about such a small matter?" Xiao Guizhen said in disbelief.

"What do you know? He is... you don't understand even if I tell you. Did you give the 200 yuan I asked you to give to Gao Quezi's wife? Didn't she go to the county to file a complaint? How is she doing? Has she come back?"

Xiao Guizhen bit the thread with her teeth and said vaguely: "She came back the day before yesterday. I saw that she had a sad face. It is likely that she didn't file a complaint. What's the point of filing a complaint? The old Peng family has people above them. The secretary of the township and the county magistrate support them. I heard that there are even higher officials in the city. They have connections everywhere. I tried to persuade her but unfortunately the young wife refused to accept her fate. I think you should stop interfering. If my family was not related to him, I think he would have broken your legs long ago..."

"Nonsense, I am the head of a village, can I ignore the people's problems? If the villagers are bullied by bullies, who else can they go to if not me, the head of the village? What kind of head is he if he doesn't serve the people? There are five brothers in his Peng family, and there are three brothers in our Chao family. I will be afraid of him... Don't listen to Peng Sanfu's nonsense all day long. Isn't his brother Peng Fuzhi the secretary of County Magistrate Chang? What kind of big official in the city? Isn't it because he stole some money from the mines in the past few years? He hasn't reached that level. I don't believe in this evil. Don't you think there is no law? If you have the guts, break my legs and see, then he is a man!" Chao Haiquan said, and smiled at his wife in a low voice: "But, even if that kid He is a man, but he also wears a green turban. What is there to brag about? "

His wife blushed and threw the sweater she had just sewn at his face: "Bah, a dog can't spit out ivory. Are you very envious of Zhang?"

Chao Haiquan sneered: "I envy him? Wife, don't you know? Do you know how he became a member of the county party committee? Didn't he give his wife to Secretary Gou? What's wrong with this man now? He is cuckolding people in circles. How can there be a saying? Oh, 'If you want to live a decent life, you have to wear a little green on your head' is really true..."

Xiao Guizhen said with a gloomy face: "What are you saying? What do you mean?"

Chao Haiquan pouted awkwardly and smiled at his wife: "Isn't it just what I said? I'm telling you, I'm Chao Kemo's hobby, don't let me have any wild thoughts..."

Xiao Guizhen rolled her eyes at him and snorted: "I'm having wild thoughts? I think you've been having wild thoughts recently. Since I followed you, Chao Haiquan, I've never thought about enjoying a carefree life, but Chao Haiquan, I tell you, even if you're not afraid of trouble, you have to consider our children... Forget it, I don't even bother to pay attention to you..."

She knew her husband's temper very well, and it was a waste of saliva to say anything to him. Instead of wasting time on talking, she might as well do more work.

"Hehe, my wife is the best in the world. I won't trade her for a gold ingot as big as a mountain..." As he spoke, Chao Haiquan reached out and grabbed Xiao Guizhen's hand and pulled her to the edge of the kang: "Wife, why don't we get intimate first? I have to go on duty after dinner..." "What are you doing? It's not dark yet..." Xiao Guizhen and her husband are very affectionate, which is inseparable from Chao Haiquan's ability in this regard. Don't look at him thin and wearing a pair of glasses, he looks gentle and refined like a cultured person - in fact, Chao Haiquan is a serious undergraduate university graduate, and he is definitely a cultured person, but when no one is around, the couple talks behind closed doors in a rough and careless manner, without any civilized air, and they are even more tormented on the kang, making people love and hate them. Chao Haiquan smiled: "What are you afraid of? This is in our own home, we are a legal couple with a certificate, I can do it whenever I want..."

"Go, you get more and more immoral as you get older..." Xiao Guizhen struggled to leave, but she was not as strong as him. She was half-pushing and half-climbing onto the kang with a coquettish and shy look, when she suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door: "The mayor...is the mayor at home?"

"You fucking Ge Xiaomao, what's your name? Where can I go if I'm not at home?" Chao Haiquan cursed in annoyance, let go of his wife, jumped off the ground and put on his shoes, before he could go out. Then, Ge Xiaomao, who was scolded by him, opened the door and walked in: "Sister-in-law is here too? Give me some saliva quickly... Township Chief, something big happened, someone died in the Peng family's coal mine..."

"Slow down... what are you talking about?" Chao Haiquan grabbed Ge Xiaomao and asked as soon as he heard Ge Xiaomao say that someone had died in Peng's coal mine.

Ge Xiaomao's face shone with excitement: "Head of the township, it's absolutely true. Really, didn't I go to the mine to peek at the output as you requested? Guess what? The mine was like a mess. It’s like leaving the camp. I saw that boy Peng Wufu running as fast as a rabbit. He was shouting as he ran, saying that there was a landslide in the Pengjia Mine..."

Chao Haiquan's eyes widened: "Then why are you so busy? Hurry up and go, it's important to organize people to save people..." As he said that, he strode out.

Ge Xiaomao shouted from behind: "Township Chief, why are you panicking? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..."

Chao Haiquan turned around and cursed: "Fuck you, I won't use the miners' lives as a ladder..."

Ge Xiaomao slapped his thigh, turned around and said to Xiao Guizhen: "Sister-in-law, you are serious, why don't you talk about him? Look at this..."

Xiao Guizhen curled her lips and said, "What are you talking about? I talk like I'm farting, and he listens to it? Let him do whatever he wants, and I'll break Peng Sanfu's legs one day later and he'll be fine. But Assistant Ge, I think Haiquan is right, No matter what, saving people is the most important thing.”

"Sister-in-law, you don't know. If...hey, mayor, wait for me..." Ge Xiaomao wanted to say something else, but Chao Haiquan didn't listen to what he said anymore. After scolding him, he just said Gone like flying.

Ge Xiaomao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he shook his head and hurriedly chased Chao Haiquan. It was really rare for the two village chiefs to be together. They were a perfect match, and they even had bad tempers.

The five Peng family members are always called the Peng family five tigers. The real name of the boss Peng Dafu is Peng Furen, but behind the scenes others call him Peng Dafu, and few people call him by his real name. His second brother is Peng Fuyi, known as Peng Erfu, and is the deputy head of Xianxi Township. The third brother, Peng Sanfu, is called Peng Fuli. Among the five brothers, he is not a good person, but a person with no etiquette at all. He has been eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, cheating, kidnapping, and stealing since he was a child. The fourth child, named Peng Fuzhi, is now working as a secretary with County Magistrate Gou in the county. The fifth child, named Peng Fuxin, helps his eldest brother and brother-in-law Zhang Qingshan manage people in the mine. To put it bluntly, he leads thugs to deal with miners who don't listen to instructions.

Between ### and the third child, the old lady of the Peng family also gave birth to a girl named Peng Fuyue, who was the woman in her thirties that Zhao Jianhui saw in the coal yard.

Actually speaking, the Peng brothers combined are not as evil-minded as Peng Fuyue. The Peng family's success was largely due to her.

This woman was good-looking. At first, she was carrying groceries with her second brother, who was the director of the township government office. She somehow hooked up with the new secretary Zhang Zhaoyuan, and soon Comrade Peng Fuyi, the second son of the Peng family, He was promoted to deputy township head, and his younger brother Peng Sanfu also married Zhang Zhaoyuan's sister-in-law. The two times were really a fight between dogs and men. The Peng family took advantage of Zhang Zhaoyuan's power to run rampant and do all kinds of evil in the countryside. Zhang Zhaoyuan used the notoriety of the Peng brothers to suppress his colleagues, and when he was not convinced, he asked Peng Sanfu to step in and beat him up. Soon, they were beaten. After suppressing all the other cadres in the township, only Chao Haiquan, a native of the township, was left who didn't pay much attention to the greetings.

There were no coal mines in Luanshan County before. Five years ago, for some reason, there were rumors that there was coal underground in Luanshan. However, the coal sources were all within the scope of the nature reserve, and the state did not allow development.

Others don't dare to develop, but that doesn't mean the Peng family doesn't dare? With Zhang Zhaoyuan's strong support, Peng Dafu recruited a mining team from outside and fired off cannons to dig wells in the mountain. It didn't take long for him to actually dig out the coal. However, the Peng family also knew that their family was relatively hated locally. They did not say that the coal mine was owned by the family, but that it was contracted by Peng Fuyue's husband, Zhang Qingshan, in partnership with others.
