Chapter 419 produced a good official!
"Grass!
How dare a mere county magistrate be so arrogant?!
The mayor and deputy mayor both have to give me special treatment when they see me.
Chen Dawei is really too arrogant.
Wait!
Don't let it fall into my hands!
Huang Langping was furious.
He came from a remote mountain village.
If it weren't for the opportunity the team gave him to train, he probably wouldn't even be able to afford food right now.
After leaving the team, her temperament and figure changed, which is why she caught Ye Xiangju's eye and got the opportunity she has today.
He has always been somewhat insecure.
Ye Xiangju's feelings were also due to her inferiority complex.
Because the gap between Ye Xiangju's family and his was simply too great.
The Ye family arranged a job for him and bought him a car, but he felt it was a humiliation and a sign of pity, so he harbored resentment.
Later, he asked Ye Xiangju to add his name to the house deed. This was a further test, an attempt to confirm whether the other party truly "loved" him and considered him family.
Little did they know that this excessive demand triggered Ye Xiangju and her family's security defenses, leading them to resolutely reject this unreasonable request.
He took advantage of that young, unmarried woman, even giving her a car and a job.
He didn't give a single penny of betrothal gifts.
And they'll give you a house as a final gift?
There's no way to do it that way.
That's really going too far.
The Ye family refused, which fueled Huang Langping's hatred even more.
I just felt that since your family couldn't afford to give me anything, why should such an outstanding young man like me be loyal to you?
Thus, Huang Langping ingratiated himself with Ma Jinbu's subordinates, eventually catching Ma Jinbu's eye and successfully becoming Governor Ma Jinbu's driver.
Cheating is a perfectly natural thing to do.
With his current resources, getting women would be a piece of cake for him.
It's just that Ye Xiangju has suffered.
According to Dawei, Huang Langping ruined Ye Xiangju's life for half her life.
Why does Ye Xiangju do things that are hard for ordinary people to understand, is she bolder than the average person, and like excitement?
The underlying reason is related to being deeply hurt by Huang Langping.
Ye Xiangju was carrying too heavy a burden.
Forced into marriage, betrayed... and threatened with no way to extricate herself.
That's why she treated David that way...
At the hospital.
An elderly woman with white hair arrived, carrying a snakeskin bag, and went from room to room checking on patients.
"Hello, I'd like to ask, which ward is County Chief Chen Dawei in?"
"Madam, where are you from? What business do you have with our County Magistrate Chen?"
Wu Maocai, who was in the corridor, was preparing to take Deputy Mayor Qu to see Dawei when he saw someone coming to see the county magistrate, so he hurriedly went to receive them.
Upon closer inspection, the person looked somewhat familiar.
"My surname is Sun. I heard that County Magistrate Chen is in trouble, so I came to check on him..."
Wu Maocai recognized her; this was the widow Sun who had been tricked by Director Qi.
Deputy Mayor Qu also recognized him, because this person was from their Xiaotang Town.
"Sister Sun, what brings you here?"
"Mayor, you're here too. I've come to see County Chief Chen, is that alright?"
"This..." Mayor Qu didn't dare to make the decision himself and looked at Wu Maocai.
Wu Maocai pulled the old woman into the house.
Dawei recognized Widow Sun at a glance and sat up from the hospital bed: "Aunt Sun?"
"County Chief Chen, how are you?" Grandma Sun approached Dawei carrying a snakeskin bag, her eyes full of worry.
"I'm fine, I'll be fine after a couple of days of rest." Dawei felt bad seeing that she was soaked to the bone: "You shouldn't have come in such heavy rain, you might catch a cold."
"No, no," Aunt Sun smiled sheepishly. "Farmers aren't that delicate."
I was at the bank in the county this morning.
I heard you were in danger, so I came to check on you right away.
Good deeds will be rewarded.
I'm relieved to see you're alright.
Grandma Sun put the bag on the ground and opened the snakeskin bag.
"I came in a hurry and didn't know what to bring you."
I bought it at the county market on short notice.
Honey, camellia oil, and some herbal jelly are used to clear heat and remove dampness.
I don't know if this will be helpful to you.
David felt heartbroken after seeing this.
The old lady doesn't know how to buy things, but these are things she thinks are very, very good.
"You're already struggling to make ends meet, how could you possibly think of buying me these things? I can't accept them."
"It didn't cost much. I have money now. That bank manager surnamed Qi gave me my savings back. I've gotten all the money I went there back."
Widow Sun's face lit up with joy.
It can be described as the thrill of being resurrected from the dead.
Without that money, Widow Sun really wouldn't be able to survive.
Dawei looked questioningly at Wu Maocai behind the old lady. Seeing Director Wu nod slightly, he finally believed that the bank manager Qi had paid the money.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Dawei smiled with relief, feeling at ease knowing he could do something practical for someone.
"County Magistrate, I bought these things especially for you. Please eat them..." Aunt Sun said cautiously.
Wu Maocai chimed in, "County Magistrate, this is a kind gesture from the old lady; we can't refuse."
Although we have discipline, we can't ignore human feelings, can we?
I think we should just keep the herbal jelly. That way, it won't be against the rules, and the old lady will feel better.
The old lady took the rest home to eat herself.
Compromises can always cleverly resolve many awkward situations and conflicts in life.
Grandma Sun had no choice but to agree.
But the honest, simple rural woman felt uneasy for not being able to repay County Magistrate Chen.
"Then, then I'll kowtow to you..."
The moment the words left his mouth, he was about to kneel.
David quickly tried to get off the bed: "No, no."
Wu Maocai grabbed Widow Sun and said, "No, ma'am, you can't do this."
"They won't accept the gifts, but they want me to kowtow to County Magistrate Chen. I've lived my whole life, and this is the first time a high-ranking official has ever stood up for me. I can never repay this kindness."
Wu Maocai smiled kindly upon hearing this: "Look, County Chief Chen, the city's propaganda department just said they should interview our Aunt Sun."
What simple and honest people they are.
Where can you find such good people?
Dawei, dragging his weak body, came to the old woman, took her hand and said, "Auntie, I am a junior. If you kowtow to me, you will make me feel too embarrassed."
Furthermore, we are the people who are the masters of our country, and we are all servants.
When I do things for you, it's not to back you up, it's to provide service.
No matter how much I do, it's all what I should do.
I can't control how people treated you in the past, and I can't comment on it.
If I encounter something like this, I have to take care of it.
You owe me, Chen Dawei, nothing, not even a favor.
Very generous and open.
Take the money, improve your life, get things moving, and take good care of your health.
So, it wasn't a wasted life, was it?
With tears in her eyes, the old woman looked at Dawei, overwhelmed with emotion, and said, "Our Yuanshan County has produced a good official..."
Wu Maocai and Aunt Sun helped Dawei back to bed to rest, and then Wu Maocai took Aunt Sun downstairs.
After returning, Wu Maocai, accompanied by the long-waiting Deputy Mayor Qu, arrived at Dawei's ward.
