Chapter 21 Hiding My Daughter

Huo Beixi had a fierce face from the first day he took office, making everyone think that he was someone who was not easy to mess with, so everyone was quite afraid of him. As soon as he finished speaking, the scene suddenly became quiet.

"A very serious incident happened in Huazhuang recently. Electrician apprentice Sun Ping cut off the electricity to Uncle Tiefeng's family without permission, even though the family didn't owe him any electricity bills. He did this several times. This is a violation of the law. Of course, it was also the negligence of our village cadres. They didn't discover this, which allowed him to act recklessly and get even bigger."

Everyone found it unbelievable when they heard this.

Even if they really owed electricity bills, the power supply station would not cut off their electricity. What right did Sun Ping have to cut off their electricity? Moreover, the Hua family was in such a miserable situation now. Wouldn't he be adding insult to injury by doing this?

Hua Si Nian said in a low voice, "This Sun Ping is too much! He is simply lawless."

"Last night, Sun Ping signed a letter of guarantee, promising never to do such a thing to Uncle Tiefeng's family again, otherwise his house and homestead will be used as compensation to Uncle Tiefeng's family. This morning, after our meeting, we decided to let Sun Ping apologize to Uncle Tiefeng's family in public and compensate Uncle Tiefeng's family 100 yuan to buy new wires. After our inspection, Uncle Tiefeng's wires are indeed seriously damaged and need to be replaced."

Afterwards, Sun Ping walked up and apologized to Hua Xiali's family in front of the whole village. He also took out a hundred yuan and gave it to Huo Beixi. Although he looked sincere on the surface, he hated these village cadres and Hua Xiali's family in his heart.

Because they made him lose face today and ruined his reputation, from now on, anyone who mentions his name, Sun Ping, will just shake their heads instead of admiring him.

It was obviously a very small matter, why did it have to be escalated to the legal level, why did he have to be dragged out and publicly executed?

After the meeting, everyone carried the benches and chairs back home. Sun Ping also left in a huff. He was embarrassed today and lost a hundred dollars. He definitely couldn't just let it go.

But he still had to plan carefully. If he acted rashly, he might have to pay compensation to Hua Tiefeng's family for his house and homestead.

After Hua Xiali returned home, he took out the wheels of the cart and set it up. Hua Qiuli asked in confusion, "Second sister, where are you going?"

"Nothing, don't worry about these things." Then Hua Xiali pushed the cart away. The road condition leading to the main road in the village was not good, with many potholes. Tomorrow they would push Hua's father to the hospital in the town for acupuncture. She didn't want to bump Hua's father, so she planned to dig some sand at the river bend to fill the potholes, which would also reduce the bumps.

April is the season when rape flowers are in full bloom. Along the way, there are golden flowers everywhere, and the flowers are buzzing among the flowers. Everything is so beautiful.

She pushed the wooden cart to the river bend and stood on the river bank. The spacious river surface was sparkling, and the bamboo forest on the opposite side of the river was dense and lush. She had not thought that there was a bamboo forest on their side as well. Why should she go so far away and give up this wealth that was within her reach?

Moreover, in the future, when they demolish the place and divert the river, all of this will be gone. Instead of wasting it, you might as well make more money!
After admiring the beautiful scenery for a while, Hua Xiali came to the river with a basket and a shovel, scooped up sand from the bottom of the water and put it into the basket. When it was full, he transferred the basket to the Lingquan space. After several baskets were full, he came to the wooden cart, carefully transferred the bamboo basket full of sand, placed it on the wooden cart, and then pushed the wooden cart back.

When they arrived at the road in and out of the village, Hua Xiali parked the wooden cart at the edge, then took the sand down, poured it into the pit on the road, and then beat it with a shovel.

At this moment, a bicycle suddenly rode over from the village. Hua Xiali looked up and saw that it was Huo Beixi. When the bicycle passed in front of Hua Xiali, it suddenly stopped. Huo Beixi put his feet on the ground and stopped the bicycle steadily. "What are you doing?"

"I..." Hua Xiali leaned on the shovel, "I'm going to take my father to the hospital for acupuncture treatment tomorrow. I want to fill the potholes on the road so that my father will suffer less."

"You are really filial." Huo Beixi parked his bicycle and took the shovel from Hua Xiali. "I'll do it."

"No need, Secretary Huo, you have a lot of things to do, so just go and deal with your own affairs! I can handle these few pits myself." Hua Xiali looked at Huo Beixi in surprise. She really didn't expect that Huo Beixi would do such a thing.

Wearing a black windbreaker, he was working under the sunshine of early spring. His every move revealed a touch of nobility, making people reluctant to look away.

After coming to her senses, Hua Xiali reached out to take back the shovel, but Huo Beixi didn't give her the chance at all.

At this time, someone suddenly said, "Comrade Public Security, it was her. She must have kidnapped my daughter and hid her away..."

Hua Xiali looked up and saw Hua Qingmei's family leading two public security comrades walking towards her. It seemed that they were coming straight towards her.

"Comrade from Public Security, it's Hua Xiali. My daughter Hua Qingmei disappeared after we went to her house to look for her. You must arrest her and interrogate her thoroughly. You must find our Qingmei back." Hua Qingmei's mother cried and pointed at Hua Xiali, saying viciously.

That look seemed to indicate that Hua Xiali was the murderer of Hua Qingmei.

Huo Beixi stepped in front of Hua Xiali and used his broad back to block Hua Xiali tightly. "Comrade Gong'an, I am the village party secretary of Qinglong Village. If you have anything to say, you can talk to me first."

The two public security comrades who came today were the same two comrades who came before. One was called Yu Qingxin and the other was called Yan Yishen. Seeing Huo Beixi always had this kind of expression towards everyone, I found it quite funny. But now I have official duties to attend to, so I did not catch up with them.

There is no need to make their relationship with Huo Beixi public.

"Secretary Huo, this is what happened. This family in your village went to the Public Security Bureau early this morning to report that their daughter was missing. Before she disappeared, she went to see Comrade Hua Xiali. We will not arrest anyone until the investigation is complete. Please rest assured, Secretary Huo."

Yu Qingxin thought of almost everything that could make him feel uncomfortable, but it was too difficult to suppress the smile.

"My two police comrades, Hua Qingmei did look for me before, but she said a few words to me and then went back without even drinking water. Many people saw it. If you don't believe me, you can go to the village and ask around. Hua Qingmei didn't disappear from my house at all."
