Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 312 Wang Hongqi

Then the two little sisters squatted in front of the stove, each holding a sugar triangle in their hands, and ate them happily.

Not long after, the male educated youth also got up and began to tidy themselves up.

When New Year's Eve arrives, the brigade headquarters is extremely lively.

When Jiang Yu and Xue Li went to get the tofu, they saw a lot of well-dressed strangers coming in and out.

They should all be relatives living outside.

Among them, the appearance of one woman was the most impressive.

That person had the same appearance as Lin Anna, with a round oval face, clear and peaceful eyes, and lipstick on her lips, which made her look very healthy on her snow-white face. She was wearing a red coat, which was very similar to Xue Li's.

Xue Li guessed that she must have bought it from Xiong Lijin and his friends, but she was wearing a coat in such a cold weather? What kind of physique did she have?

But Jiang Yu had good eyesight and could tell at a glance that she was shivering from the cold. If it weren't for the lipstick covering her lips, the purple color of her lips would have been more noticeable than it was now!

The woman was followed by several people. One of the women was holding a half-grown child who was wrapped tightly. The group was carrying large and small bags and rushing towards the end of the village.

Jiang Yu smelled a faint smell of blood coming from the child being held.

But she didn't care. What's so strange about a girl smelling of blood?

The two of them walked carefully on the thin snow and came to the house of their aunt who made tofu.

It was bustling inside. Tofu Lady's business was very good today. The whole family, young and old, came to help her and work together.

If we earn more, the children will be able to go to school next year, the family can buy two new clothes, and we can buy some meat to supplement nutrition, so today is very important.

Jiang Yu and Xue Li walked into the house through the open fence door. The ladies who were waiting to get tofu in the main room saw them, were silent for a moment, and then continued to chat.

"Oh my, you must not have seen it. The girl Hongqi is really amazing now. This time, she brought a large group of people with her. Just like Mrs. Yi in the past, she took eight steps with one step. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's true that how a person lives depends entirely on his ability."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful that word gets spread to Old Wang's family, or they'll get you in trouble!"

"What am I afraid of? She dared to do this, and she is afraid of what others will say? Didn't you see that little girl was carried here by someone? A child that big still needs to be carried when walking, tsk."

"Say less. Hongqi is no longer one of us ordinary people. When she goes out, people call her Madam Dai."

"That's amazing. By the way, have you heard about Dai Jiancun, the deputy secretary?"

"What's the matter?"

"Is it because of his involvement with the horse gang in his early years?"

"Or is it that he has a gang of robbers?"

"Oh my goodness, so everyone knows about this? Then how can he still..."

"You also know where he came from! He has a lot of brothers who have seen blood together. Who dares to say anything?"

"What about up there...?"

"I heard that the man who helped him get promoted had received favors from Deputy Secretary Dai. But he was in poor health and died early. So Deputy Secretary Dai has been staying in Hongqi Commune ever since and couldn't leave."

"This... can be considered a good thing?" Fortunately, he died early, otherwise the bandit leader Dai Jiancun might have become a very high-ranking official, which would have been a disaster for the common people.

But some things are fine if people talk about them in private. If someone is bold enough to go against Dai Jiancun, the consequences are unimaginable.

It would be difficult for Dai Jiancun to get promoted after becoming deputy secretary, and everyone would seem to think that he is not capable enough.

But in fact, the fact that he, a bandit leader, has been able to stay in this position for so many years is enough to prove his ability.

His backer was the man who died young. He was the son of a provincial leader. He came here on business and was accidentally kidnapped by another group of robbers.

Dai Jiancun originally planned to kill the kidnappers and seize the territory, and take this man back as well. After knowing the man's identity through his personal belongings, he suddenly thought and disguised himself as the man's savior. He wanted to change his allegiance, so he used the man's kindness to repay the favor and successfully got himself a new skin.

His abacus clacking loudly, but the man was in poor health. Dai Jiancun started as a village chief and rose to the town's armed forces minister, and then he lost his backing.

The man was a director in the city and was supposed to go to the next bigger city to shine, but the transfer order was still on the way, so he left first.

Dai Jiancun’s career almost ended halfway, but he was unwilling to accept this and in order to move up, he tried to get close to other leaders.

But the others didn't buy into his tricks. They were all people who had experienced hardships, so who could not see through Dai Jiancun's little tricks? Moreover, they all came from decent families, both red and professional, so how could they look down on a bandit leader like him?

If it weren't for the fact that Hongqi Commune was a mixed bag and difficult to manage, they would not have left Dai Jiancun, this cancer, alone.

Moreover, the forces here were in chaos earlier, fighting for territory and gathering to fight, and outsiders had no way to start.

However, after Dai Jiancun came to power, he was able to slowly quell the chaos in Hongqi Commune because of his considerable influence. Because of this achievement, the people above him chose to turn a blind eye out of consideration for the innocent people and allowed him to stay in the position of deputy secretary for ten years.

You really can't judge people in black and white. Dai Jiancun amassed wealth without limit, but because he was able to control those restless forces and ensure the normal development of Hongqi Commune, his merits and demerits are actually offset?

But can they really offset each other?

Because of Dai Jiancun's identity, the group of people chatting about gossip changed the topic reluctantly.

We started talking about Wang Hongqi again.

Who is Wang Hongqi? She is the daughter of the Wang family not far from the educated youth site. You may not remember which Wang family it is.

They were the Wang family whose three men died when the wolves came down the mountain, and the three brothers who were torn to pieces by wolves in the third team.

Wang Hongqi is the most promising one in the Wang family. She is dignified and pretty, and has been well-behaved and sensible since childhood. She is one of the few favored girls in the Wang family.

Speaking of which, before Yang Lijuan was selected as the most beautiful girl in the team, Wang Hongqi was the good girl praised by everyone.

She was pretty and literate, which is why she was able to marry the bandit leader Dai Jiancun and become the wife of an official today.

The couple have been together for more than ten years, and they had no children in the past few years. However, Dai Jiancun has never gone out to have affairs with other women, which shows his ability.

Dai Jiancun is almost ten years older than his wife. When he married Wang Hongqi, people in the team praised them for being a perfect match, but they must have been laughing at them in their hearts.

But after so many years, who can still laugh?
