Wang Ting looked at Lin Yi and felt that this person might be a deviant.
Fighting was a common occurrence for him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so proficient.
Even so, he looked quite manly.
“Do we need to send them to the hospital?” Li Sijin asked softly as she looked at the two people who were bleeding profusely.
She did not have as many thoughts as Wang Ting. At this time, she was still thinking about those useless things.
“Don’t worry, they won’t die for a while.” Lin Yi said.
“Just let the police handle it when they get here.”
“Uh-huh.”
Li Sijin pulled Wang Ting and stood back, not daring to look at the two of them.
About half an hour later, a policeman drove over and two policemen got out of the car.
“What’s going on? Why are things here so serious?”
“They were illegally mining sand, and when we came to advise them, these two individuals not only refused to listen but also resorted to violence. We were acting in self-defense.”
The two policemen rolled their eyes but didn’t say anything.
“We’ll take these two to the hospital first. The three of you, come with me and to make a statement.”
“Hello, comrade. We’re from the Office of Poverty Alleviation. We were out this afternoon for an inspection. Do you think you can...”
As she spoke, Li Sijin even took out her identification card.
When they saw the ID, the officer’s attitudes greatly improved.
“Then you guys go ahead with your work, but you have to leave your phone number. I might need your cooperation during the interrogation. I’ll contact you then.”
“No problem.”
Following the instructions, the three of them left their contact information before leaving.
“Are you hurt?” Li Sijin asked carefully.
“Why would that be the case? Do I look like I’m injured?”
“From his skills, I can tell that he’s an experienced fighter. Moreover, he’s not afraid of the police. He’s probably a handful in Zhonghai,” Wang Ting said.
“Tingting, be careful. He’s driving. Our lives are in his hands.”
“I’ll spare your life today.” Wang Ting snorted coldly.
“We’ve checked out the situation here; let’s go back. We’ll take the things from the car to your parents and then I’ll be on my way.”
“My parents have moved to town. On our way back, we’ll pass through Kuanhe Village, that’s where our family used to live. Let’s go there first, then return to town.”
“Alright, it won’t make a difference.”
Under Li Sijin’s lead, Lin Yi drove for more than half an hour and arrived at Kuanhe Village.
“Oh, Jingjin is back.”
Seeing Li Sijin get out of the car, the villagers of Kuanhe Village came over to greet her with simple smiles on their faces.
“I’m coming back to work in the county now. I need to work now, so I came back and visited.”
“Little girl, you’re really promising. You’re actually working in the county.” The middle-aged man carrying the hoe said to the others nearby.
“Look at what I’m saying. Sijin has been polite and good at studying since she was young. Now, she’s working in the county.”
“That’s right. Our village only produces a university student every three years. She’s indeed not bad.”
Facing Li Sijin, the honest villagers were not stingy with their praises. They all sang her praises, making Li Sijin feel embarrassed.
“By the way, didn’t you say that you are working in a government office? What exactly do you do? Do you have any ‘extra income’?”
The villagers were honest and treated Lin Yi and Wang Ting as one of them.
These kinds of words, which could only be said in secret, were spoken openly, making Li Sijin’s head hurt.
“I only receive wages and subsidies. There’s no ‘extra income’ that you are talking.” Li Sijin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she said,
“I’m working at the Office of Poverty Alleviation. I came back today to understand the specific situation here and come up with a concrete solution. We can’t go on like this forever.”
“That’s good.”
When they heard that Li Sijin was working in the Office of Poverty Alleviation, the villagers were all excited and couldn’t close their mouths since this had a lot to do with their personal interests.
“It’s already so late. When will the land supplement money come in?”
“And what about that cooperative medical care? They said they would reimburse us. When will the money come back?”
“I heard we’re going to be relocated, and the government will provide houses for us to live in the town. Is that true?”
Li Sijin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Although I’m in charge of poverty alleviation, these things are really not under my jurisdiction.”
“What about well digging? Every year at this time, they dig wells, and hardly any water comes out of them. Then we have to pay again the next year. Isn’t this just ripping people off?” a man carrying a hoe asked..
