" In fact, what I heard was just a rumor. As for whether it's true or not, no one can say for sure." Lin Jianan hesitated for a moment and said," I didn't want to tell you these things at first, so as not to affect your judgment. But now that we've reached this point, I feel that it's necessary to let you know."”
" Dad, just say whatever you hear," Lin Chenfeng said with a smile." I don't think I'm that brainless. I'm not that gullible.”
" That's true. It seems that I'm overthinking things," Lin Jianan said with a smile." It's like this. Some people say that the reason why the township government doesn't want to interfere in the affairs below is that the local faction and the foreign faction are fighting too fiercely, so everyone is not in the mood to do business.”
"Oh?" Lin Chenfeng asked with interest," What do you mean?”
" The secretary of the Party Committee of our village was transferred from Taiping Town two years ago. Last year, the county sent the secretary of the former secretary of the county party committee down to be the head of the village, but the deputy position of the local party committee remained unchanged." Lin Jianan wiped his lips and said," As a result, the local party committee members were not satisfied, so they wanted to squeeze in and see if they could squeeze out a position.”
" Oh, this is indeed interesting." Lin Chenfeng nodded and smiled." But this shouldn't be a problem, right? Although the secretary and the township head were both outsiders, they were the leaders of the party and government. As long as they joined forces, could they not even suppress a few deputies?”
" That's right." Lin Jianan sighed." The key is that Hexi is one of the most remote and poor towns in the county. No one wants to stay here for a long time. They are here for this qualification. When the time comes, they will be transferred down. Therefore, they don't want to offend anyone at all. On the contrary, they have to rely on these local officials to maintain a relatively stable situation.”
" No wonder." Lin Chenfeng sighed." If this continues, we poor people will suffer."”
" Yes," Lin Jianan nodded, but he tried to persuade him instead," But we can't do anything about this now. As the saying goes, we have to measure our clothes according to the size of the body. With your current status and ability, you can't change the current situation. Therefore, you have to turn a blind eye to some things in case you fall into trouble."”
" That's true." Lin Chenfeng smiled." But what about Chen Lei? Are we just going to wait for others to tear down the roof?”
" Sigh, this bastard." Lin Jianan felt a headache when he heard him mention Lin Chenlei." I don't know what sin I committed in my previous life to raise such a prodigal."”
" Dad, don't worry," Lin Chenfeng advised." I don't think Chen Lei's nature is bad. He's just too young and can't resist temptation. If we persuade him, he'll definitely change his bad habit."”
" Difficult, difficult." Lin Jianan shook his head and said," I know this kid too well. He has been wild since he was young. When he was in school, he was famous for his rotten feet. However, I could still suppress him at that time. Now that he has entered society, even my words go in one ear and out the other."”
"I know, but I think there should be a way.”Lin Chenfeng laughed.
Lin Chenfeng and Lin Chenlei were twins. However, Lin Chenlei had been held back for a year and had taken a year off from school. Therefore, he entered high school two years later than Lin Chenfeng and they were not in the same school. However, Lin Chenfeng had long heard of his performance in school.
"Then what are you going to do?" Lin Jianan asked.
" I'm going to look for him after breakfast," Lin Chenfeng said after thinking for a while." I'll bring him home first and then have a good talk with him."”
" I'm afraid that won't work." Lin Jianan shook his head and said," Although you two brothers used to have a good relationship and he respected you, he has changed in the past two years. I'm afraid that he will fight with you on the spot and make you embarrassed."”
" It's okay. I think I'll handle it well," Lin Chenfeng said with a smile." Besides, even if he does, it doesn't matter. After all, we're brothers and we're the same age."”
"How can that do?" Lin Jianan immediately objected," You'll be coming back to take up your post soon. If you lose your position now, how will you be able to stand in the village in the future?”
"Dad, don't worry. It won't collapse.”Lin Chenfeng stood up and said with a deep gaze," Besides, I'll be the assistant of the village director in the future. I'll have to deal with these local tyrants. It's not a bad thing to meet them now.”
Lin Jianan looked at his son's expression and suddenly felt a little lost. He suddenly realized that his son seemed to have changed. However, he couldn't tell what the change was. He only instinctively felt that he couldn't figure out his son.
" Then you go," Lin Jianan thought for a while and said," You just have to do your best. If he really doesn't listen, then let him be. I think no matter how bold he is, he won't dare to commit murder and arson except for losing some money."”
He was saying this out of helplessness. In fact, deep down, he naturally hoped that Lin Chenfeng could help Lin Chenlei turn over a new leaf. However, he was more afraid that this matter would negatively affect Lin Chenfeng. Thus, after weighing the pros and cons, he could only put Lin Chenlei aside for now.
After breakfast, Lin Chenfeng brought Lin Chenyu out to the streets. Before they left, Lin Jianan was a little worried and repeatedly reminded Lin Chenfeng not to force himself. Lin Chenfeng smiled and agreed.
Halfway there, Lin Chenyu asked uneasily,""Big Brother, if Second Brother doesn't want to come back, what should we do?”
"How could that be?" Lin Chenfeng laughed." We brothers went to look for him. Don't tell me we don't even have this little bit of face?”
" Big Brother, this is not a matter of face," Lin Chenyu said carefully." I heard that everyone who plays cards in those teahouses has to set a time before they go to the table. If the time is not up, no one is allowed to quit halfway. Otherwise, not only will they have to spit out the money they won, but they will also have to compensate others.”
"Oh?" Lin Chenfeng glanced at him and said," Why are you so familiar with these things? Didn't you also participate in gambling?"
" No, no." Lin Chenyu waved her hands frantically." I heard all this from Second Brother.”
"When did he tell you?" Lin Chenfeng looked at him and asked with a smile.
"It's been…one, two, three months.”Lin Chenyu's scalp went numb from his laughter, so he stuttered.
"So, you already knew that he was gambling?”Lin Chenfeng glared at him and said," Then when I asked you yesterday, you said you didn't know?”
"I…I was afraid that you would be angry." Lin Chenyu lowered her head and said.
"Did Chen Lei tell you how much money he owes outside?”Lin Chenfeng asked.
"He didn't say that. I really don't know.”Lin Chenyu shook her head.
"Then what did he say to you?”Lin Chenfeng frowned and asked.
" Actually, he didn't say anything." Lin Chenyu smiled bitterly." He only told me about these things twice, and he only mentioned it briefly each time. When I asked him again, he didn't say anything. He also repeatedly reminded me not to tell my family about these things.”
