"What nonsense are you talking about?" the town mayor scolded. "That young girl could save Secretary Li Wenjie's life at such a young age. It shows she has good family upbringing. But here you are, slandering her without any evidence!"
The village head's face stiffened, looking a bit guilty.
Although Yun Que'er had said those things, there was indeed an element of exaggeration on his part.
At least he had only heard Yun Que'er being arrogant, but not what Yun Motan and the others had said.
However, the village head thought that as long as he told the town mayor and the others like this, they would surely have nothing to say. But he didn't expect the town mayor to be so agitated.
What on earth was the background of these two people that made the town mayor side with them so much?
The village head didn't dare to say more and could only nervously tug at his sleeves.
The town mayor gave him a fierce glare, then turned to Li Wenjie and the other with a smiling face.
"I'm so sorry. I had no idea there were such things in this village under my jurisdiction. It's really my dereliction of duty."
Li Wenjie also thought the village head's words were really out of line and snorted.
"Since you said they're not in the village now, where are they?"
The village head stammered and didn't dare to say it directly.
Seeing his reaction, the town mayor thought the village head had treated Li Wenjie and the others shabbily. He immediately scolded.
"I'm asking you a question. Answer quickly! Have you lost your tongue?"
The village head trembled violently before replying.
"They... have been sent to the police station," the village head stammered.
"What did you say?" Wang Shufen immediately got excited and couldn't help raising her voice.
Li Wenjie coughed lightly, signaling Wang Shufen not to step forward, and spoke on her behalf.
"You, the village head, are really good at handling things. When something happens to your villagers, instead of educating them properly first, you directly send them to the police station. Do you think this is a good thing for your village?"
The village head wasn't a fool. Of course, he knew what would bring him glory and what would make him lose face.
But he really hated the Yun family to the core. Having failed to deal with them time and time again and feeling "taken advantage of", the village head didn't care about anything else.
He naturally thought this was the best way, but who could have thought that the people looking for their benefactors would come the very next day after the incident.
At this moment, not only was the village head looking embarrassed, but even the town mayor's expression was on the verge of collapsing.
He tried to force a smile, but this stupid dog of a village head really made it impossible for him to smile.
He stammered for a long time without saying anything sensible and could only question the village head.
"Which police station did you send them to? Hurry up and say it!"
"It's... the one next to the town's bus station..." the village head stammered.
Wang Shufen was extremely anxious and quickly turned to look at Li Wenjie.
Li Wenjie understood what she meant and said, "Since they're your benefactors, you should go and check on them."
Wang Shufen quickly nodded. "Thank you!"
"By the way, when you get there, explain the situation to the police and then bring them back," Li Wenjie said.
The village head panicked. "Bring them back? They're reactionaries! I heard that little girl's words with my own ears. There's absolutely no mistake!"
Li Wenjie sneered. "If it were in the past, this would indeed be their fault, but the situation is different now. I forgot to mention that the reason I came to the village for a meeting today is to tell you that all the work of distributing production to households should be completed within a week starting from today."
The village head was stunned. It turned out that this so - called leader was actually from the Ministry of Agriculture!
Not only was his position far beyond the reach of the village head, but even if he was just one level higher, it was still the case that a superior could easily crush an inferior!
The key point was that the distribution of production to households was actually for real, and the Yun family was innocent?!
Looking at the village head's pale face, Li Wenjie found it even more ironic.
He was really something, and he probably didn't expect to have kicked a steel plate this time, right?
He didn't want to look at the village head anymore. He turned to Wang Shufen and said, "Hurry up. Those kids have spent a night in the police station. God knows how much they've suffered. Since they've done you a favor, you should hurry up and pick them up."
Wang Shufen nodded repeatedly and turned to leave.
But before she reached the village entrance, Wang Shufen bumped into a few people, and she recognized them.
"Aren't you those policemen from last time?" Wang Shufen said in surprise.
Police Officer Shen was leading the plain - clothes policemen. He recognized Wang Shufen at a glance.
"Aren't you that little girl from last time? What are you doing here?"
"The little girl who saved me last time was sent to the police station by their village head. It should be yours, right?" Wang Shufen asked anxiously.
Police Officer Shen was stunned. He didn't expect to run into this by chance.
"Yes, it's in our station."
"Then hurry up and release them!" Wang Shufen said. "Our leader said that the distribution of production to households will be implemented soon, so they can't be considered reactionaries. I'm here to pick them up!"
It seemed that the investigation was no longer necessary. Police Officer Shen quickly led the way and took Wang Shufen back.
On the way back to the town, Police Officer Shen and Wang Shufen chatted a lot.
After they compared the details of the incident, they found that it was indeed the village head who had been unjust first, which made Police Officer Shen so angry that he slapped his thigh.
"What a good village head! A parent - official indeed! He actually leads the way in exploiting the villagers!"
"I didn't believe it at first and just wanted to find out during the meeting. But I didn't expect...," Wang Shufen clenched her fists. "He got the jump on us. If we hadn't come in time, those kids would have suffered even more."
"Don't worry," Police Officer Shen waved his hand. "That kid told me about these things last night. I'm not unreasonable. I knew that this was mostly the village head causing trouble, so I specially arranged for those kids to spend a night in the police station. I originally planned to release them after the investigation. You came just in time."
Hearing what Police Officer Shen said, Wang Shufen felt relieved.
When they arrived at the police station, Police Officer Shen quickly released the kids.
He patted Yun Que'er on the shoulder. "Kid, you're great. You should never bow to evil forces. And your wish has come true. The distribution of production to households will be implemented soon. From now on, your family can farm your own land and don't have to worry about the village head bullying you anymore."
Yun Que'er had already calculated this, and this result didn't surprise her much. She quickly thanked Police Officer Shen and Wang Shufen.
Wang Shufen led the four siblings back to the village. After all the commotion, it was already past noon when they arrived.
Coincidentally, Li Wenjie and the others had just finished their meeting. When they passed by the village entrance, they saw them coming out of the office.
The village head's face was extremely ugly. He saw Yun Que'er at a glance and immediately gasped, unable to say a word.
Yun Que'er gloated at him. Serves him right! Who asked him to be so opinionated!
