Chapter 315 No Beating Was in vain
At this time, the villagers were already silently settling the accounts in their hearts.
Gu Mingyue deliberately emphasized, "Go back today and think about it carefully. I'll give you three days. If the money we collect meets the commune's requirements within three days, there will be room for maneuver. If not, the commune should send someone to take over soon, so you should be mentally prepared."
A villager asked, "Secretary, are there any regulations on how much money to invest?"
"Starting from ten yuan, there is no upper limit. By the way, speaking of this, I have thought of something. I know that each family has a good life. You are all hardworking and willing to save some money, but you don't show your wealth. Usually, our village accounts are transparent, no matter how big or small, but this time it involves privacy. Therefore, I would like to ask for your opinions. Do you want to make the amount of money you invest public or keep it confidential? If it is confidential, only the overall amount will be announced, and the personal details will not be made public. In this way, only you will know how much money you will get in the future!"
The villagers were obviously moved when they heard this, and someone quickly shouted, "I think it's better not to make it public!"
Someone started to make a noise, "Guangtao, it seems that your family has saved a lot, otherwise why are you so afraid to make it public! Fellow villagers, when you eat meat, you must treat us to some soup, don't you think?"
Everyone shouted loudly, "Please treat us, please treat us..."
"Get lost, if you have the guts, take out your passbooks and let me take a look! I, Gu Guangtao, am putting this down. No need to say more, if anyone in the village has less than three figures on their account, I will serve you delicious food and fish. Whoever comes first!"
Now, no one dared to say a word...
Gu Guangtao snorted disdainfully and muttered "Coward!"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused public anger. People of the same age around them attacked at the same time. One moment a monkey stole a peach, the next a tiger dug out a heart. A bunch of people who had already become fathers started to make a scene as if they were back in their youth...
Seeing that the commotion was almost over, Gu Mingyue took the opportunity to say, "Alright, alright, be serious. Since everyone is here, I have something to announce. After the factory affairs are finished, I will officially step down as the village party secretary."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent, and everyone stood there in a daze, not knowing for a moment whether they were more reluctant or more uneasy.
For a long time, the villagers have the impression that Gu Mingyue is omnipotent. Even though he sometimes acts overbearingly and forcefully, everyone knows that without the unreasonable interference of their branch secretary, Gujia Village might not have been able to live in peace even in those ten years.
If Gu Mingyue knew what they were thinking, she would be absolutely speechless. No matter how you listen to this, it is not a good thing. Who is being called unreasonable? She is the most reasonable one...
Someone said sadly, "Auntie, has anyone made you angry again? Tell me and I will punish him. If you don't become the village party secretary, I will be scared if someone comes to provoke me in the future."
Gu Mingyue put her hands on her hips and threatened, "Gu Guangtao, do you dare to come closer and repeat what you just said? So my biggest role as a branch secretary is to help you fight?!"
"Aunt, I don't dare!"
Gu Guangtao's instant of fear made everyone present burst into laughter.
The words that Gu Mingyue was about to say to him were stuck in her throat by his sudden reaction, and she was choked.
After a while, he recovered his breath and said, "I didn't understand why Fifth Brother always had to punish you, the father, in front of his grandchildren. Now I understand completely that every beating you receive is in vain."
Gu Mingxin: Finally someone understands me. Meeting his troubled son is the biggest hurdle in his life...
After chatting about family matters for a while and seeing that everyone had recovered, Gu Mingyue said, "First of all, no one bullied me. Secondly, who do you think dares to make me angry? I don't know if you still remember that I said before that I dropped out of school and returned home to lead everyone to live a good life. Now, seeing that every family of yours is rich and has meat every meal, I can proudly say that I have realized my original wish and have lived up to your kindness in taking care of me and our family. In the future, the world will be peaceful and life will get better and better. Even without me, I believe you can live a good life. Moreover, to be honest, if it weren't for my eldest brother's escort over the years, I might not have been able to hold on until today. You also know that I am greedy and like to have fun. My eldest brother is old, and I can't always let him worry about me, right, eldest brother?"
Gu Mingwei glared at her and said, "Talk about your own business, don't bring me along."
Gu Mingyue spread her hands to everyone and said, "See, my elder brother is always worried about me!"
The villagers below were laughing.
Gu Mingyue finally said, "Okay, I've said everything I need to say. I'm not leaving right away, so I have to find a successor. If anyone from your family is interested, hurry up and sign up at the village office. I'll take care of them for a few days. If they're suitable, I'll help recommend them to the commune before I step down."
There was a lot of information today. After the meetings, everyone discussed money and the resignation of the branch secretary.
The educated youth were also discussing it.
Zeng Min sighed, "I'm used to calling you the branch secretary. If I'm no longer in this position, I don't know how to address you. Wouldn't it be impolite to call you by your name?"
Wu Meiqi pondered and said, "How about calling me Sister Mingyue?"
Liu Gaiwa secretly lowered his eyes, thinking of what the branch secretary had said to Daisy before, that he should treat him as a younger brother. He had no right to control others, but as a fellow educated youth, he always felt that these people all called him "sister", and he was not the most special one. He didn't like it...
So he persuaded, "It's good to call him Party Secretary, so that we can both remember the precious time we had now."
Zeng Min believed it and agreed, "Gai Wa is right, it is indeed worth commemorating. Let's just keep it the same as before."
Gao Shan has become much more stable in recent years, but his feelings for Gu Mingyue have not disappeared with the passage of time. Instead, he cares about her more and more because he cannot get her.
So he was very sensitive to anything about the other party. He only heard him say in a veiled tone, "Gai Wa, do you really think it's meaningful or are you afraid that we will take away your privileges? After all, everyone in the village says that the secretary treats you like his own brother. Are you afraid that you are jealous?"
Liu Gaiwa said innocently with an innocent face, "I didn't mean that. This is the first time I've heard you say that. The secretary is very caring towards me, but it's all out of simple concern. I know how you feel about him. Don't get me wrong. There's really nothing between us. Although we're always together, it's because of work. Don't worry."
Wu Meiqi frowned and said, "Gao Shan, what you said is nonsense. Changing the baby was just a suggestion. Do you think it's fun to make such a big deal out of it? To be honest, I think you are a little narrow-minded!"
"That's right!" Zeng Min followed up, "Gao Shan, your feelings for the secretary are your own business. Don't blame everything on Gai Wa, as if you and the secretary would be able to succeed without him..."
