Chapter 247: Be Prepared
Being questioned in public, Qu Jinzhong was very embarrassed. Under the pretext of high-sounding names, he always made others speechless and dared not to refute.
Now that his identities are reversed, he is the one who has no way to defend himself. It feels like there is a breath stuck in his chest, which he can neither release nor suppress. It is really frustrating.
He put away his smile and said sarcastically, "Secretary Gu is indeed a college student. Even though he dropped out of school and went home, he is still knowledgeable and has a thorough understanding of the instructions from above."
Gu Mingyue replied nonchalantly, "Director Qu, you are too kind. I also have a heart that looks up to the sun and never forgets to follow the footsteps of the big boss. I think someone as motivated as you should have understood this a long time ago. Oh, I see. You must be testing me. I said, since you took office, you have always done everything yourself, no matter how big or small. How could you be partial to your daughter? You are not that kind of person! I guess you must love your daughter like your life, but your daughter is too spoiled. You want to control her but can't bear to do it, so you kill your relatives for the sake of justice. Oh, no, you don't recognize your relatives. No, no, that's right. You are ruthless and impartial. That's right. Oh, look at my mouth. I always say something at the critical moment. Don't pick on me. After all, I didn't finish college and didn't learn well."
Qu Jinzhong's face turned completely gloomy, but he could only follow her words and said, "That's exactly what I mean. From now on, I will leave Lingling to you to discipline. Do whatever you want to do, and don't worry about me."
"Dad, are you getting senile?"
"Bang!" Qu Jinzhong had been suppressing his anger to begin with, and Qu Lingling's words hit him directly in the face. He slapped her and whispered, "Shut up. If you say one more word, I'll send you to your mother."
Qu Lingling covered her face and looked up in disbelief. When she met her father's fierce eyes, she subconsciously shrank her body and dared not talk back anymore. "I...I don't dare anymore."
Gu Mingyue noticed that when Qu Jinzhong took action just now, a glimmer of satisfaction flashed across Sun Xiaoyu's eyes. Although it was fleeting, it was enough for people to see clearly. She raised her eyebrows secretly, it seemed that this guy was not an easy person to deal with.
She then said, "Oh, Director Qu, there's an old saying that a good son is born under the stick, but there are so many people here, we should save some face for the child, and we can still deal with her in private. You don't have to get too angry, she's only 19 years old, no matter how bad her temper is, it's possible to change it. You know, the countryside is the most training place, it's not easy to enjoy happiness, but it's too easy to suffer. I can't guarantee anything else, but I will make her understand the hardships of life and understand your good intentions as a father."
Qu Jinzhong clenched his fists tightly, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to control his expression. Even though he was furious, he still agreed, "Then I really thank you."
Realizing that he was on the verge of collapse, Gu Mingyue didn't push him any further to avoid pushing him too far and causing a bad outcome.
No matter what he planned, he had to let others place the chess pieces first before playing. It would be boring if the chessboard was destroyed in advance.
The incident just now shocked everyone present.
The educated youth from other villages who were not picked up were a little envious when they saw tractors picking people up, and they were jealous of these people who were assigned to good places.
Seeing that a village party secretary was so domineering, as if he had foreseen the miserable future of the educated youth who went to Gujia Village, he began to sympathize with them.
Qu Jinzhong noticed that Gu Mingyue was directing Gu Guangtao to help the three people who were sent down to the tractor one by one. He said with a glance, "Secretary Gu, you are still too young and you are not very thoughtful in your actions. These people are all bad elements. You let them take the car. People who know that you are picking them up will think that you are deliberately taking care of them."
At this time, He Linfeng obviously couldn't help speaking. Seeing this, He Shiwu coughed violently, and he bit his cheeks to restrain himself.
Gu Mingyue was not nervous at all, and asked, "Then Director Qu, what do you think we should do? Our tractor has to go to the fields and pick up people every day, and the fuel cost is not small. We should save as much as possible, and never do the work twice if we can finish it in one trip. If we let the ox cart come, the old oxen in the village are old and can't walk for too long. The oxen are the treasures of the village. What if they are tired? If we let them go by themselves, I am not wrong, and someone will be injured. In this case, if you can guarantee that anything happens on the road, whether dead or alive, has nothing to do with our Gujia Village, as long as you can guarantee it, I will absolutely obey. I hope no one will come. To be honest, the house we have booked for them this time is at the foot of the mountain, and there are often wild beasts there. I am worried that if something happens one day, we will be blamed. There is really no other place for them to stay in the village. If they can be taken away, we will have no worries. Guangtao, don't help, Director Qu has other arrangements."
"Really? Great, I'll help them down right away."
"Hey, hey...don't, don't get off." Qu Jinzhong confirmed that Gu Mingyue didn't have any reluctance and really wanted people to get off the car. He didn't doubt it anymore and didn't dare to provoke her. It was said that this girl had a reckless temper. Now it was true. It seemed that she couldn't tell good from bad. He hurriedly said, "The arrangements above are fixed and cannot be changed. Since they have been assigned to your village, they trust you to help them reform. You can't give up at this time. Don't forget that you are a party member and you must lead by example. It's ridiculous to retreat when you encounter difficulties."
"You've said so much, if I refuse again it would be irresponsible of me, okay, then get in the car. But, Director Qu, let's make a deal, I don't have a good place to stay, and the villagers are very busy and have no time to build a house. I have reported this to you, and if anything goes wrong, you have to help me testify that it was an unintentional mistake."
How could Qu Jinzhong possibly agree to this? He laughed and said, "Safety is still very important. I remember that your village arranges militia patrols every day. Isn't it good to go over and take a look when you have nothing to do?"
Gu Mingyue said in embarrassment, "If it's a human, it's fine. A few young men can definitely control it. But if it's a wild boar, who would dare to go after it?"
"Isn't it equipped with a wooden warehouse?"
"Have you forgotten that you previously limited the number of wooden cannons to two per squadron?"
At that time, Qu Jinzhong was afraid of being stabbed in the back during a house search, so he restricted the Mucang branch. But now is not the time for everyone to hand it in, and with the chaos in the next ten years, Gu Mingyue naturally has to make more preparations.
"Well, I'm approving five wooden warehouses for Gujia Village. You must pay attention to safety at ordinary times. Except for the militia, no one else is allowed to touch them."
Gu Mingyue pretended to mutter, "I thought I could replace the person..."
After saying that, he got in the car. Until he was seated firmly, he felt uneasy. He knew without a doubt that it was either Qu Lingling or Qu Jinzhong.
She turned around suddenly and met the gaze of the man who was staring at her like a poisonous snake.
While Qu Jinzhong was in a daze, Gu Mingyue smiled and waved with her good teeth bared, "Director, go back early. Don't worry, I will definitely return you an honest daughter."
