Yang Fann was left alone on the spot, messed up in the summer night wind.
He was at a loss!
Should he tell this to Yang Guoqing?
What way was he supposed to tell him?
Once it was exposed, Yang Guoqing would definitely be screwed. If he rashly went to tell him that it was Yang Tieliang and Chen Hua conspiring to scheme against him, it could lead to unpredictable consequences.
When people were in desperate straits, they could do anything they wanted. What if Yang Guoqing's ass temper came up and in order to avoid prison, they would crack the connection between Yang Tieliang and Chen Hua, making it impossible for Yang Fann to escape.
You think that the State Machinery of our Da Hua Xia are weak, just with these hundred or so Poplar Gully, it will take less than three days to investigate until the truth is revealed. When the time comes, it will be discovered that it was Yang Fann who leaked the information to the criminals, thus leading to the murder.
It did not seem appropriate for Yang Fann to ignore this matter and watch Yang Guoqing step down and go to jail.
Even if Yang Guoqing's starting point was good, once he stepped down, how could Yang Tieliang or Chen Hua, the adulterous couple, be better than Yang Guoqing?
Just their coquettish attitude would cause Poplar Gully to be overrun by smoke. At that time, the people who would suffer would be fellow villagers of Poplar Gully, and perhaps even their own plans would be affected.
Thinking over and over again, Yang Fann still decided to help Yang Guoqing. Carrying out the principle of following the law, treating illness and saving people, he gave Yang Guoqing a chance to turn over a new leaf, making him realize his own mistakes while seriously experiencing the warmth of the people's embrace. In the future, he would devote all of his energy into the endless revolutionary work.
The next morning, when Yang Guoqing's wife, Second Aunt, got up, she suddenly found a stone in the yard with a message written on it.
At first, Second Aunt didn't pay much attention to it. She thought it was some kid's prank, but after reading the paragraph carefully, she was so scared that her face turned pale. She quickly went into the house and called Yang Guoqing.
Yang Guoqing ran out of the house barefooted in just his underpants. He laid on the stone and looked around. Then, he found half a basin of water and wiped the words on the stone clean, leaving nothing behind.
The stone was that Yang Fann moved to Yang Guoqing's house last night. It said that the matter of him embezzling the public funds to let Alcalde Chen clear the relationship had been exposed, so Yang Fann had to find Alcalde Chen and get back the 100,000 yuan fund.
However, Yang Fann did not mention that Yang Tieliang and Chen Hua were colluding to report him, to avoid unnecessary trouble. Yang Tieliang and Chen Hua might have had their unscrupulous acts, but Yang Guoqing was the one who had misappropriated the public funds first. If Yang Guoqing was upright and stood up straight, what could they do to Yang Guoqing even if they were colluding?
Yang Guoqing thought for a moment, then immediately got on his tricycle and went to find Alcalde Chen on Qingshan Town. No matter if the person on the stone was telling the truth or not, the fact that he embezzled the public funds was definitely not wrong.
Yang Guoqing never thought that the words on the stone were written by Yang Fann. This was because Yang Fann was not the only one who knew that he had used the public funds and asked Alcalde Chen to apply for a road repair fund.
Yang Guoqing's vigilance was really bad in this regard. The job of keeping secrets was simply a mess. His wife and a few other people who were on good terms with him all knew about this.
Of course, this also included the village accountant Yang Tieliang. After all, the money was taken from Village Committee's account, so it was impossible to avoid him.
Around noon, Yang Guoqing came back from the town. As soon as he came back, he immediately went to Yang Fann who was enjoying the show at the construction site: "Fann, can you come over for a bit? I have something to tell you."
When Yang Guoqing rode his tricycle away from the Poplar Gully, he had seen it. At that time, he was at the construction site of the bridge, and because the Wu Steel family's field was at the village entrance, as long as anyone entered or left the Poplar Gully, they would be able to see it even from where they were standing.
"What's wrong, Second Uncle? What happened? Why do you have such an ugly expression?" Yang Fann asked even though he knew the answer. He had to pretend that he didn't know the answer to that question.
"It's like this …" Yang Guoqing briefly told Yang Fann the whole story, from the moment he woke up this morning and found the rocks in the yard, all the way until he went to Qingshan Town to ask Alcalde Chen for money.
"Alcalde Chen said that the money has already been given out and it's impossible to get it back?" Yang Fann sneered, "Isn't he afraid that something will happen to him?"
"I was thinking the same thing. When I was in a hurry, I asked the same question, but Alcalde Chen wasn't in a hurry at all. He said that if I was scared, I could use the money myself. The more Yang Guoqing said, the angrier he got. He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought. Why wasn't Alcalde Chen afraid of being reported?
Yang Fann quickly understood what happened, "Second Uncle, when you gave the money to Alcalde Chen, he didn't give you any receipt, right? And there's not a second person present, is there? "
"Why would there be a receipt? Who would write a receipt for something like that? "Besides, I can't give money to others even if someone else is present. Even if I did, would Alcalde Chen be willing to take it?"
As he said this, Yang Guoqing also reacted, and said exasperatedly, "That old fox Alcalde Chen, so it turns out that he's not afraid of me implicating him, then he can just go back on his word. Plus, he must have calculated my fear of going to jail and will definitely pay this amount of money, right Fann?"
"That should be the case. Second Uncle, what are you thinking now? What should we do next?"
"Sigh, there's no other way. I'll have to take the money and fill in the hole in my Village Committee first, it's just that … "But …" Halfway through Yang Guoqing's words, he started to stammer. He seemed to want to say something but hesitated to do so.
"Second Uncle, if you have something to say, then say it. Is there anything between us that you can't say?" Seeing Yang Guoqing's expression, Yang Fann probably knew what he wanted to say.
"Hey, to be honest, Fann, don't even mention 100,000, even if it was 20,000 yuan, I still wouldn't be able to afford it!"
Yang Guoqing looked up at the sky and sighed: "Last month, that useless thing called the basket insisted on buying a house in the city. That prodigal woman, your second aunt gave her money to that prodigal behind my back!"
