Chasing

After the meeting, Wei Yi went to the office to get his work notes and went to the first floor to wait for someone. He happened to see Han Jifei who was commuting to work. Han Jifei asked him, "Brother Wei, what's wrong?"

"Go to the countryside."

"I'll go too."

Just as Wei Yi was about to say no, the mayor Hu went downstairs, and when he heard their conversation, he said to Wei Yi, "Take him, I heard that he was given a notebook and asked him to take it with him, just to take notes, and go to the office today. Talk about compensation or something."

Before Wei Yi could order, Han Jifei said "wait for me" and rushed back to the office. Within 2 minutes, Han Jifei appeared in front of him with a notebook.

"Brother Wei! I'm here, so there's no delay."

Wei Yi shook his head, just at this time, Qi Huan also came down, Wei Yi drove, and the four of them drove to Hongqi Village.

Hongqi Village is located in the northwest of Xinsi Township, with many mountains and little land. It used to be the poorest village in Xinsi Township. The under-forest economy has led the villagers to become rich and well-off, and now it has become the village with the best economic conditions in Xinsi Township.The economy is getting better and the farmers are getting richer. The former village headquarters of Hongqi Village is too dilapidated and leaks water during the rainy season. So with the consent of the township, land, and urban construction departments, the current village headquarters was re-selected and built.I didn't expect that it was almost finished, but something like this happened.

On the way, Wei Yi briefly told Han Jifei what had happened. Han Jifei was startled when he heard it. They parked the car at the gate of the old village. As expected, people had already surrounded the village. , I don't know if these people who came have anything to do with the He family.When the village director Zhang Shaohai saw them coming, he pushed aside the crowd and came in front of them.

"Major Hu, Chief Qi, and Secretary Wei, you are here. This is..." Zhang Shaohai asked Han Jifei, not knowing him.

Wei Yi made an introduction: "This is a new college student in our village, named Han Jifei, Xiao Han, and he is currently undergoing comprehensive treatment. This is Zhang Shaohai, the village director of our Hongqi Village."

Zhang Shaohai enthusiastically reached out his hand to shake hands with Han Jifei. Han Jifei was a little shy, and carefully shook hands with the old director who had worked in Hongqi Village for nearly 30 years.

They entered the village through the crowd. The people who worked in the village were all old smokers. Once they entered the door, it was like entering a smokehouse.

The furnishings in the village department of Hongqi Village are too outdated—the leather sofa has long since exploded, forming a mottled appearance; The style, whether it is a drawer or a table leg, is a bit fragmented, and it seems that it will fall apart with a little force.

Han Jifei, who was pampered and pampered since he was a child, seemed to have never seen such a dilapidated place, his eyes looked around, and the expression on his face was indescribable.

Zhang Shaohai has worked in the village for more than 30 years, and he is the best at observing words and demeanor. Seeing Han Jifei like this, he naturally knows what to do, so he smiled and said, "Young man, is this your first time in the countryside? The conditions in the countryside are a bit poor, so don't mind."

Wei Yi noticed that Han Jifei's face was flushed red, he lowered his head and did not speak.Wei Yi smiled, and went to help him out. He asked Han Jifei to put the notebook on the table, and asked Lao Zhang to connect the power supply, and said to Han Jifei: "You sit, and I will go out and call someone in. If you feel choked up, just go Open the window."

At this time, the mayor Hu, who was sitting on the broken sofa, said to Wei Yi: "Old Wei, let them find a representative who can make decisions and say, don't fill the room with people."

"Yes." Wei Yi agreed and went out.

When the people outside saw him coming out, they surrounded him.Wei Yi has worked in Xinsi Township for more than ten years, and many villagers are already familiar with him, not to mention that he once lived in Hongqi Village.A bunch of people were chattering in his ear, which annoyed him the most, so he quickly waved them to be quiet.Wei Yi said: "Everyone be quiet, arguing with me won't solve the problem. People from the village came here today to give an explanation to the injured. Now I want to ask, is there anyone here who can make the decision? Come in one or two."

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out and introduced himself as the second uncle of the injured, named He Cunyou, because both the parents of the injured were in the hospital, so he could handle the matter with full authority. Wei Yi did not look like a farmer from his clothes. , it seemed reasonable, so Wei Yi let him in.At the same time, the grandfather of the injured came in together.

Wei Yi returned to the village office. Everyone in the room was smoking except Han Jifei. When he saw him coming in, he handed him a cigarette. Wei Yi was not polite. After taking it, he did not rush to light it.Han Jifei sat there frowning and covering his nose, staring at the screen tightly without speaking, Wei Yi walked over, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Actually, it's nothing, why don't you go out and avoid it."

Han Jifei waved his hands and said to him with a smile, "It's all right."

Wei Yi stopped persuading him, went to open the window first, and then pulled up a chair and sat next to Han Jifei. Han Jifei gave him a grateful look, and Wei Yi smiled at him, ready to stare at him and take notes.

Township head Hu opened his mouth first, and he said to He Cunyou: "We came here today to discuss compensation with you on behalf of the township. The township and the village don't want to see what happened, and the big guy feels very sorry. If you have any needs and opinions, you can raise them, and we will try our best to meet them if they are reasonable and legal."

He Cunyou said: "The child He Tao is lying in the hospital now. The doctor said that he may be paralyzed and will not be able to walk for the rest of his life. The parents of the child are also old. If they are old, they may not be able to take care of the child. We have all inquired, and now This is the case, follow-up treatment, rehabilitation, etc. are all huge expenses. This family is in the countryside, and the land can only spend how much money in a year, so the children can do odd jobs to make money. Now the family’s labor force is gone. , parents’ future pension will be a problem.”

Mayor Hu added: "We can understand your feelings. The incident happened suddenly. Yesterday the police came and said that the sudden collapse of the scaffolding may be due to a problem with the construction party's operation. This is what our township thinks. The child's medical expenses , The village will contribute part of the money, the township will contribute part of the money, and we will discuss with the construction party of the contracted project to pay another part of the money. As for the amount, we will try it today. If there is a problem, it must be solved, right? "

He Cunyou is also a polite person, and he didn't bother too much, just said: "60, no less."

60 is not a small amount. Several people from the township and village present looked at each other in blank dismay. Everyone seemed to think it was a bit outrageous, but they also thought it was reasonable.

Hearing the sound of Han Jifei typing, Wei Yi turned his head rapidly. He called Qi Huan and motioned to Mayor Hu to continue talking with them. The two found a quiet office. Wei Yi asked Qi Huan: "Major Qi , What did the construction party say yesterday?"

"The attitude of the construction party is also very good. They said that they can give out 50 yuan, but according to their requirements, the village and the township took out 30 yuan, which I think is a bit much. If the compensation is carried out through legal procedures, it will cost about two or three thousand yuan. 60, but it might be troublesome. It’s not good if things get big. No one wants to do this, but it should be reasonable. If someone is injured, 40 is a bit outrageous. In other words To put it bluntly, it is only [-] if people are killed.”

Qi Huan was still young, and he spoke with righteous indignation. Although he didn't have to pay for it, he always felt wronged.Wei Yi also felt aggrieved, but the feeling of grievance cannot be shared by both of them, so he motioned Qi Huan to keep his voice down, took out his mobile phone and called Secretary Zhu, asked about the situation in the hospital in detail, and reported the He family's request Regarding the amount of compensation, I confirmed Secretary Zhu's opinion.After hanging up the phone, I had a plan in my mind.When the two returned to the previous office, Wei Yi whispered Secretary Zhu's opinion to Mayor Hu, who nodded and said to him, "Okay, let me tell."

"It's like this. We've got to know the number first, and we probably know the specific situation. Now that we're sitting down to talk, let's be honest with each other. We also have a certain understanding of the child's injury. 60 is too much. , the township and the village can provide 30, and the construction party can provide [-], a total of [-], do you think it will work?"

The number was reduced by half, and He Cunyou's originally calm face suddenly became angry. He stood up suddenly, pointed to the staff at the township and village levels, and said emotionally: "Are you still human? Other people's children are lying on the hospital bed, but you don't even have any sympathy. What face do you have to negotiate with us? Is your conscience eaten by dogs? The children will have to sit in wheelchairs in the future. How do you let the parents of the children live? ?”

Wei Yi stood up and walked over, pressed He Cunyou's upraised hand, and said: "We understand the feelings of your family members, why don't we sit down and talk calmly, you have given a number, we think it is a bit high, so we will return it." It’s all human nature. It’s not right for you to swear. We also work for the party, and we don’t spend our own money, right? This amount is compensation plus medical expenses, we understand I realize that your nephew has the new rural medical system. After the reimbursement, the treatment basically doesn’t cost much money. You just said what will happen to the child’s future life and his parents’ future life. Just because of this, the Our Secretary Zhu told me that in the future, the policies of the village will be tilted towards them as much as possible. A large amount of money is only temporary, and it will be gone after it is spent. As for the various policies above that can be tilted towards their families, it is common Besides, I have been squatting in Hongqi Village for three years, and I have heard of the reputation of He Tao's father as a bad gambler. He is your brother, and your brother owes money outside You don't know how much gambling debt you have, and you don't want to see your nephew's medical expenses, and his father will fill in the hole for the recovery expenses, right?"
