Chapter 1584: Grain Bags Thrown on the Ground

"Make way!"

In silence, an old farmer led two half-grown boys, carrying a patched bag on his back, through the crowd and walked forward.

It can be seen that the old man walked in a hurry, and his shoes were worn backwards. One of the two half-grown boys had not put on a cotton-padded jacket, and his nose was frozen blue in the cold weather.

Of course, it is also possible that there were no extra cotton-padded jackets at all.

The old man led the two children to the front of the crowd, and then saw the door panel covered with white cloth lying on the ground, and his eyes were instantly cloudy.

One step, two steps, three steps.

The old man approached slowly with the children, as if he couldn't believe it.

When he came closer, the old man stared at the white cloth on the ground, and then slowly knelt down.

"Uncle Cui, you can't do it."

Aunt Wang hurried forward to pull him, but the old man waved his hand.

"If you don't knock your head down, the old man's spine can't stand up."

Aunt Wang listened and led the children to stand aside.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao had already walked aside and lowered his head, tears falling on the frozen ground.

People are made of flesh and blood.

"Tu'er, Tianwa, kneel down and kowtow."

The old man said, and the two children followed suit and kowtowed three times together.

At this time, the old man stood up, glanced at Yang Xiaotao, and then turned and walked towards Lin Quan.

"I'm Old Man Cui from Guanjiaying. There are only three of us in my family."

"It snowed a while ago, and my child got sick. We had nothing to eat."

"I had no choice but to ask the village chief to borrow food, and finally I found Stationmaster Ding. I borrowed a total of ten kilograms of coarse grains."

Without waiting for Lin Quan and the others to react, Old Man Cui threw the bag in his hand at the other party's feet, "There are still a little more than six kilograms left in it, so let's call it six kilograms, it's considered returned."

"I will pay back the remaining four kilograms within two days."

"Don't worry, we won't be short of any grain we should pay."

After saying that, he led his two grandsons out, and when he passed by Fatty Ding's body, he sighed again.

A sigh made Yang Dazhuang and others feel sour in their noses, and made the people watching around burst into tears.

Behind him, Lin Quan's face turned pale, looking at the flour bag on the ground. It wasn't coarse grains, it was their faces.

Wang Guohua even took a step back and bumped into Team Leader Shui, with only one thought in his mind.

Something bad is going to happen.

Before the old man led the child away, another person came out.

A young and strong man came out of the crowd carrying an old woman on his back, and he also had a cloth bag in his hand.

"Son, put me down."

The old woman shouted, and the man gently put the old woman down. It can be seen that the old woman's legs are not convenient.

The old woman sat next to Fatty Ding, and Aunt Wang beside her came forward to help her, but the old woman shook her head.

She stretched out her dry hand, gently lifted the white cloth, and then stroked her already cold cheek.

"Touch the head once, and you will be a high official in the next life. Touch the face twice, and you will be rich in the next life. Touch the mouth three times, and you will have no worries about food and drink."

The old woman said softly, and Fatty Ding under her seemed to be baptized, so peaceful.

After the young man put the old lady down, he immediately walked to the side, knelt down, his eyes were red, and kowtowed three times.

When he stood up again, his forehead was purple.

"Uncle Ding, you are a good man."

After the young man finished speaking, he picked up the bag and walked towards Lin Quan step by step.

"I am from Shangjia Village, my name is Li Gan."

While speaking, he stared at Wu Qiong behind him, and the other party couldn't help but lower his head in guilt.

"Last year, I spent a lot of money on the bride price to marry a wife, and my mother's legs and feet are not in good condition, so there is not enough food at home."

"It was Stationmaster Ding who gave us 20 kilograms of coarse grains. This is the remaining 12 kilograms. If there is a shortage, I will go into the mountains to catch prey."

After speaking, he put down the cloth bag, turned around, and stood aside.

The old woman covered the white cloth, and two lines of turbid tears flowed from her old eyes.

"Child, go with peace of mind."

At this time, more and more people came out of the crowd, carrying all kinds of things. Some were cloth bags filled with flour and coarse grains, some were winnowing baskets filled with corn and potatoes, and some came forward empty-handed, but with a sincere look on their faces.

One by one, they first came to Fatty Ding, kowtowed three times respectfully, and then placed the things they brought in front of Lin Quan and others.

One by one, they explained their situation clearly and then left.

Soon, a small mountain had piled up in front of Lin Quan, and more people were walking towards this side in the distance.

Lin Quan felt his legs were numb, and there was no blood on his face.

He knew that he was wrong.

It was outrageous.

Perhaps, there was indeed less grain in the grain station, but it was definitely not Ding Deliang's abuse of power for personal gain, let alone embezzlement.

Everyone said it clearly, and when everyone threw down the grain bag, they saw Fatty Ding holding it high.

In their hearts, Fatty Ding did nothing wrong.

Even in the hearts of the people around here, when there is a conflict between life and food, they will choose the former.

Those who choose the latter may be right in legal terms, but they are lacking in being a ‘human’.

“We are from Xinxiaozhuang, and I am the village chief.”

In front of the piled hill, a group of people came over. Looking around, there were at least 20 to 30 people, and the one who led the conversation was an old man.

At this moment, the old man looked at Lin Quan and others, “Our village had a poor harvest last year, and we owed the grain station 600 kilograms of grain.”

“This winter, we borrowed another 300 kilograms of coarse grain.”

“Let’s count it as 900 kilograms.”

As the old man spoke, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at the 20 to 30 people behind him, “Our village can’t take out food, and those have to be kept for the villagers to survive.”

“So, our village sent these 30 or so people, with their own dry food, to work for you.”

“Just give us any hard and dirty work, and when we make up the 900 kilograms, it will be over.”

After the old man finished speaking, the scene was silent.

Lin Quan staggered, but fortunately someone was holding him up. At this moment, Wu Qiong followed him and rolled his eyes. He was so choked by these words that he couldn't breathe.

Bang

Just when Wu Qiong was terrified, Lin Quan kicked him on the thigh. Wu Qiong sat on the ground without warning.

"Tell me, when you were interrogating me, did you really do this? Did you?"

Lin Quan was like a madman, a roaring lion.

What is this? This is doing odd jobs for the landlord to pay the rent.

What is this? This is oppressing the poor masses.

What has he become!

What else can he do after he has become like this and lost the support of the people?

At this moment, he was really going crazy.

After Wu Qiong was knocked down by this kick, he finally caught his breath and quickly got up, "Director, he said it all."

"Damn it. He said it all?"

"Why the hell don't you believe it?"

Wu Qiong immediately turned his head and stared at Team Leader Shui beside him, "It was her. She said that Ding De, Station Leader Ding violated the rules, and said that he bought people's hearts, and said that without the approval of the superiors, it was embezzlement. She said it all."

"The guards in the room can testify."

"Also, she said that Station Leader Ding was a rat, so Station Leader Ding hit the wall."

At this moment, Wu Qiong grabbed the last straw and shouted loudly to Team Leader Shui who looked terrified.

"And the people who reported it this time were them."

After saying this, countless eyes on the scene stared at Team Leader Shui behind Wang Guohua.

At this moment, Wang Guohua wanted to move his body to avoid the eyes of everyone, but found that his legs could no longer move.

The people behind him were all panicking, and Team Leader Shui felt his pants get cold and urinated involuntarily.

Wang Guohua wanted to move, but he didn't dare to.

Because it was useless to move, not only would he not be forgiven by the people around him, but he would also hurt the hearts of his followers.

His eyes passed through the crowd and fell directly on Yang Xiaotao.

The other party still had his hands in his pockets, but he raised his head, as if looking at the white clouds in the sky, the wind was light and the clouds were light.

Facing the eyes of the crowd, Wang Guohua knew that he had to say something.

"Our report is in accordance with the rules and within our duties."

His tone was stiff, but it made his position clear.

The people behind him breathed a sigh of relief, and Team Leader Shui came back to his senses and relaxed, and then he felt that his pants were wet, and hurriedly clamped his legs.

"If there is any responsibility, it is our comrades who made improper considerations and made rash decisions without conducting serious investigations, which hurt the feelings of revolutionary comrades."

"We will impose severe punishment on this matter."

"But from our standpoint, it is our duty to supervise the possible moths and rats that may appear. We will continue to supervise them."

Wang Guohua looked serious, and the more he spoke, the more he felt a sense of sacred mission.

"Of course, we accept supervision from the masses at any time. If there is anything wrong with our work and it needs to be corrected, just let us know and we will definitely correct it."

"But it is impossible for us to give up supervision."

As Wang Guohua finished speaking, the young people behind him straightened their chests and became fearless.

The old village chief showed a look of contempt after hearing this. As a person who has experienced it, he has seen all kinds of big storms, monsters and demons.

"To judge a person, we should not look at what he said, but what he did."

"No matter how well you say it, you can't hide the fact that you forced people to death."

"I am just a farmer, and I know one truth: if you kill someone, you must pay your life, and if you owe someone a debt, you must pay it back."

After that, he led everyone to leave, and did not forget to glance at Lin Quan, "When Stationmaster Ding is in trouble, we will come, and you can just give us your orders then."

Lin Quan reacted with a start, his back was wet with cold sweat, and he hurriedly shouted, "Wait, wait."

"Everyone listen to me, listen to me."

However, everyone ignored him.

"Why are you still standing there? Arrest this guy and send him back for strict interrogation."

The people around him rushed out immediately and arrested Wu Qiong, who looked dead, and the two guards in the room were also controlled.

Finally, someone looked back, but only looked.

Lin Quan stared at Wang Guohua again, his purpose was self-evident.

But the latter was not moved at all. It was enough to abandon his subordinates once. If he did it again, there would be no one left.

Lin Quan had no choice but to rush into the crowd and shout to stop the crowd.

Unfortunately, the crowd did not listen to him at all and continued to move forward.

Lin Quan was so anxious that he was about to cry. If this matter was spread today, no matter what, this position would be over.

The only thing to do now is to try to save his image.

"Farmer brothers, we will re-investigate this matter and deal with it seriously and responsibly."

"Please believe us, we will handle it impartially, never wrongly accuse good people, and give justice to Stationmaster Ding."

"Take these grains back, take them back."

Lin Quan said as he asked the people around him to send the grains back to the people below.

However, the people below said nothing and did not take the grain bags.

"Uncle Dazhuang, let's send Uncle Ding home."

Not far away, Yang Xiaotao said softly, and Yang Dazhuang nodded, "Let's send Fatty home."

The two stepped forward, and several women came out from behind to support the people of the Ding family.

At this moment, Aunt Wang's crying sounded more

Yang Xiaotao and Yang Dazhuang stood in the front, and several people stood behind them.

There were the village chief, colleagues from the grain station, and several elderly people

Lin Quan stepped forward and was pushed away by Yang Dazhuang.

Wang Guohua thought about it and came to Yang Xiaotao, but was pushed away by Yang Xiaotao, and Wang Guohua moved away.

At least it looked like it was done.

Finally, eight people.

Eight people carried a door panel, and the cold touch made people feel depressed.

"Fatty, let's go!"

"Let's go home."

Yang Dazhuang shouted loudly, and then walked out.

The people around him made way and shouted, "Have a good journey."

"Have a good journey!"

Yang Xiaotao followed the shouting, but murmured in his heart, "Have a good journey!"

Swoosh

Xiaowei's voice came from his mind.

At the same time, Wang Guohua's military coat pocket also had a touch of light green.
