at night.
Crescent Village, Liu Jin’s home.
In the living room downstairs, a dozen people, each holding a cigarette, were puffing away.
After a sound of pushing the door, an embarrassed Liu Jin rushed back.
"Brother Liu, how are you? Is that little girl Chen Xiuzhi moisturized?"
A younger brother, seeing Liu Jin coming back, hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a playful smile.
"Moisten your mother's balls! Get away!"
Without saying anything, Liu Jin slapped his younger brother hard on the face and scolded him angrily.
The young man showed his courtesy for nothing and was scolded. He felt very aggrieved, but he still mustered up the courage to get to the bottom of it.
Even if you die, you have to let yourself know how to die!
"Brother Liu, what happened? Tell your brothers and we will find a solution!"
He caught up and asked hurriedly.
"Wang Xiaojie! I'm not done with him!"
Liu Jin came to the living room, sat on the sofa, covered his arm that had been beaten, grinned and cursed.
"It's this kid again. Brother Liu, why don't we set their house on fire at night?"
Another younger brother stepped forward to give advice.
Liu Jin raised his leg and gave it a kick, yelling: "You don't fucking know that he is related to the Gao family! If you find out about us, you won't be able to live with it!"
"Brother Liu, hasn't the village recently been collecting information on low-income households? There are quotas for these. Chen Xiuzhi's sister is not the village chief's wife! Why don't you ask her to find her sister and erase the quota for Wang Xiaojie's family? !”
The younger brother who was beaten before said with a smile.
After listening to his words, Liu Jin's brows, which were still furrowed, relaxed slightly, and he slapped his younger brother hard: "Okay! Brother Liu didn't hurt you in vain!"
"Brother Liu, strike while the iron is hot!"
The younger brother was praised by Liu Jin and reminded with a grin.
Liu Jin did not move directly. He frowned and thought for a while, then finally gritted his teeth and stood up to leave.
He rushed straight to the east end of Crescent Moon Village.
The distance between the two families was not too far, but it took only ten minutes to arrive at Chen Xiuzhi's door. He did not knock on the door, but sneaked in.
Chen Xiuzhi, who was depressed in the yard, saw a dark shadow running in. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she hurriedly fled into the house.
"stop."
Seeing Chen Xiuzhi trying to escape, Liu Jin let out a cold chuckle.
"Oh, it's Brother Liu, why are you here so late?"
When Chen Xiuzhi heard Liu Jin's voice, her anxious heart relaxed a little.
"I came to discuss something with you!" Liu Jin said as he walked into the room unceremoniously.
"Brother Liu, if you need anything, you can still use me!"
Chen Xiuzhi walked into the room uneasily and asked timidly from the side.
"Do you want to deal with Wang Xiaojie's family?" Liu Jin grinned playfully and asked silently.
When Chen Xiuzhi heard this, her eyes flashed, and after a while she gritted her teeth and said, "Brother Liu, do you have any idea?"
"I have a way, but it's up to you." Liu Jin said, pointing at Chen Xiuzhi, and then continued: "Recently, the village is recruiting quotas for low-income households! Let your sister wipe out the Wang family. "
As soon as he said these words, Chen Xiuzhi panicked.
"Don't worry, I will find someone to deal with the aftermath, just do it! There will be no problem as long as I am here!"
Liu Jin saw Chen Xiuzhi's thoughts and reminded him with a smile.
"Brother Liu, if you say this, I'll be relieved! I'll go and notify my sister right away!"
Chen Xiuzhi gritted her teeth and finally decided to go through with it.
…
The next day, Wang Xiaojie, who had no idea, came to the health center to work as usual.
As soon as the door opened, Aunt Ma came again.
"Third Aunt, it's so early." Wang Xiaojie looked at Third Aunt Ma and greeted with a smile.
Third Aunt Ma also grinned and hurriedly explained: "The medicine you gave Third Aunt yesterday was very effective! Third Aunt often makes this mistake, so I'll come with you to get some more medicine to take!"
"Okay, Third Aunt, come with me!"
After Wang Xiaojie opened the door, he returned to the front hall and started dispensing medicine for Aunt Ma at the counter.
"Xiaojie, has your family applied for subsistence allowance?"
Aunt Ma was a restless person. She walked around the front hall and came up to ask questions when she had nothing to do.
"What subsistence allowance?"
Wang Xiaojie shook his head, showing an uninformed look.
Aunt Ma saw that Wang Xiaojie didn't look like he was just pretending, so she hurriedly said: "Oh, it's the minimum living allowance quota that the government has given to our village. Your family is on the list, and our family has received a notice saying that we will go there today." What happened to the village chief’s family reporting information? Your family doesn’t know?”
Wang Xiaojie felt something was wrong after hearing Aunt Ma's words.
"You, go back and tell your father! Today is the last day to collect low-income households in the village! Let him go to the village chief's house to ask about the situation! Don't miss it!"
Aunt Ma San patted him and reminded him.
Wang Xiaojie came to his senses and rushed out without saying much.
When he returned home, he didn't find his father. Seeing that the hoe in the yard was not there, he thought he had gone to the fields.
I planned to go to the fields to take a look, but my father came back.
"What's going on? You're in such a panic. Be careful of bumping into someone!"
Wang Yongli looked at his impatient son and scolded him angrily.
"Dad, let me ask you! Did our family sign up for today's subsistence allowance?"
Wang Xiaojie asked directly without explaining.
"In previous years, the head of the village's minimum living allowance would come to notify him. Why do you suddenly ask this?" Wang Yongli also looked confused after hearing Wang Xiaojie's words.
"Go to the village chief's house quickly and ask about the situation! I heard it ends this afternoon!"
Wang Xiaojie looked at Wang Yongli and urged hurriedly.
Wang Yongli didn't care about going home. He threw the hoe to Wang Xiaojie and ran towards the village chief's house.
Speaking of which, my wife is in poor health and relies on the subsistence allowance allocated by the government to buy medicine every year!
Within ten minutes, he ran to the village chief's house.
"Is the village chief at home?" Wang Yongli leaned forward and shouted hurriedly at the door.
"No, I went to the countryside for a meeting!"
The person who answered was none other than Chen Meizhi, the village chief’s daughter-in-law.
When Wang Yongli heard the response from someone in the courtyard, he boldly walked in: "It's Meizhi! Well, the village chief is not here. I want to ask you about the subsistence allowance."
Chen Meizhi was slightly startled. Today was the last day for low-income households to submit information. Her father-in-law handed her the notification from the village.
Wang Xiaojie offended Chen Xiuzhi, and the two sisters were on the same page. She deliberately skipped the Wang family!
I didn’t expect the news to come out very quickly.
"I don't know." Chen Meizhi said angrily.
"Meizhi, you were the one who informed everyone last year. How could you not know?"
"Or is it that there are policies from above that have delayed this year?"
Wang Yongli was so anxious that the wrinkles on his face were pinched together.
"I asked you why you can't understand people's words. If you don't know, you don't know! Why are you so annoying? I'm asking you to leave, you are a big man. Do you want to act like a gangster in my house in the middle of the night?"
When Chen Meizhi saw that Wang Yongli had no intention of leaving, her expression suddenly changed.
