I am the emperor in Nanyang, I am the ultimate winner
Chapter 45 Subsidy Incident (Part )
The scene comes to a village in Qingshi County, Eastern Province. The sun is shining brightly, but it cannot warm Xiao Liang's cold heart.
He stood at the entrance of the village, clenched his fists, his eyes full of anger and despair.
He walked quickly to the door of the village chief's house and knocked hard.
Soon, the village chief came out and asked impatiently, "Xiao Liang, what do you want from me?"
Xiao Liang gritted his teeth and asked, "Village Chief, where is my sister's subsidy this month?"
The village chief frowned and pretended to be ignorant and asked, "What subsidy?"
Xiao Liang couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted, "My sister has symptoms of cerebral palsy, and the hospital has published the proof!"
"She needs to take long-term medication to control her condition! Didn't the village subsidize her with two silver coins last month?"
"There are still 50 kilograms of rice. How come there is none left this month?"
The village chief's face turned a little ugly, and he said with a specious reason: "Xiao Liang, your sister's condition is not too serious. There are more people in need who need this subsidy."
Xiao Liang's eyes widened and he glared at the village chief: "Village chief, did you give my sister's subsidy to one of your relatives?"
The village chief immediately jumped up and pointed at Xiao Liang and cursed: "Xiao Liang, don't talk nonsense! You are slandering me!"
"No matter what, I am just a village official. You are slandering the court and the government. Just based on what you said, I can send you directly to jail."
Xiao Liang was stunned. He didn't expect the village chief to be so heartless.
His legs went limp, he knelt down, and begged, "Village Chief, I beg you, my parents died early, and we are the only ones left to depend on each other."
"I have to take care of my sister every day and I can't go out to earn any money."
"Without that subsidy, we really can't survive..."
The village chief looked at Xiao Liang coldly, unmoved.
He turned around and prepared to go into the house, leaving Xiao Liang kneeling there with tears blurring his eyes.
Seeing the village chief about to walk in, Xiao Liang rushed forward and hugged the village chief's thighs, crying, "Village chief! Please!"
"If this doesn't work, I can only report this matter to the county government!"
"Xiao Liang, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to threaten this village chief?"
"Hmph, let me tell you, it's useless even if you go to the county government! I'm afraid you can't even enter the gate of the county government!" said the village chief coldly.
"Village chief, please..." Xiao Liang continued to beg.
"Stop talking nonsense! Get out of here right now! Otherwise, don't blame me for having someone arrest you and put you in jail!" the village chief cursed impatiently.
"Village chief, how can you be so heartless and ungrateful? Aren't you afraid that I will fight you to the death?" Xiao Liang asked angrily.
"Haha, just you? You dare to fight me?"
"Let me tell you, in our village, I am the emperor! I have the final say on who can get the subsidy and who cannot!" said the village chief with a proud smile.
"You damn corrupt official! I'm going to fight you!" Xiao Liang roared angrily.
At this moment, several servants under the village chief quickly surrounded Xiao Liang, pinned him to the ground, and started beating and kicking him.
Xiao Liang groaned in pain, but was powerless to resist.
At this moment, the village chief suddenly waved his hand to signal them to stop, and then ordered: "Come here! Send him to the town government's jail!"
"Just say he slandered the court and the government, and let him learn a lesson! He won't be released from prison for at least three to five months!"
When Xiao Liang heard this, his heart sank suddenly, a look of horror appeared on his face, and he quickly shouted: "Village Chief, I know I was wrong!"
"I really know I was wrong! My sister still needs my care, please have mercy on me and let me go!"
However, the village chief was not moved at all. He looked at Xiao Liang indifferently, with a trace of disdain and disgust in his eyes, and said coldly:
"Humph, your sister is just a cerebral palsy patient, she is not completely incapable of moving. Take him away from me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several ferocious servants rushed forward, tied Xiao Liang up, and then dragged him away to the town government.
At the same time, Xiaohong at home was anxiously waiting for her brother to return.
Time passed by, but she still didn't see her brother.
Due to the influence of cerebral palsy, her movements are not convenient, but she is still able to master some basic life skills, but her movements are relatively slow and laborious.
Finally, Xiaohong couldn't bear the worry in her heart anymore and decided to go out to look for her brother.
She moved her feet with difficulty and slowly walked to her neighbor's door.
Seeing this, neighbor Aunt Liu asked with concern: "Hey, Xiaohong, why don't you stay at home?"
"Why are you running out here for no reason? What's the matter?"
Xiao Hong panted and answered intermittently: "Aunt Liu...Aunt Liu, I want to ask, have you seen my brother?"
Aunt Liu frowned after hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, she replied, "Oh, that's how it is."
"I remember your brother went to see the village chief, but I don't know the details."
"How about this, I'll help you find out if I can get any news about him."
Xiaohong nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, Aunt Liu."
Aunt Liu turned around and shouted to the inside of the house, "Erniu, come out quickly and take your sister Xiaohong home."
So Erniu walked out of the house, carefully supported Xiaohong, and escorted her back home.
The next day, Master Liu brought back news about Xiao Liang and told Xiao Hong.
Xiao Liang has been sent to the town government jail and won't be able to get out for more than a few months.
When Xiaohong heard the news, she collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.
She cried and blamed herself, saying, "It's all my fault! If it weren't for me, my brother wouldn't have been thrown into jail..."
Master Liu quickly comforted him: "How can you be blamed for this? If you want to blame someone, blame that damn village chief!"
However, worse was yet to come.
A few days later, shocking news spread in the village - Xiao Liang died in prison!
The people in the prison claimed that Xiao Liang committed suicide out of fear of punishment, but in fact, this was just an excuse they made up.
The real reason was that the village chief was worried that Xiao Liang would make a big deal out of this and affect his own future, so he bribed the people in the prison and killed him directly.
After learning the news, Xiaohong fell into despair again.
She felt her world collapse in an instant, as if she had lost all hope and support.
At this time, Aunt Liu came to Xiaohong's house and looked at the poor girl in front of her, her heart filled with sympathy.
She gently patted Xiaohong's shoulder and comforted her: "Xiaohong, now that your brother is gone, what are you going to do in the future?"
Xiaohong wiped her tears and choked up as she answered, "Aunt Liu, I still have subsidies to receive to support my livelihood."
"It's a pity for my brother that he left us like this."
Aunt Liu sighed, shook her head helplessly, and then said: "Xiaohong, as an aunt, I don't want to tell you this, but you must know the truth."
"Your subsidy has been cancelled by the village chief, and he gave it to one of his relatives."
Xiao Hong's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief: "What? Why? This is a subsidy given to me by the state!"
Aunt Liu explained: "This is reality, kid."
"That village chief only cares about his own interests and doesn't care about the lives of disabled people like you."
"Besides, his power is so huge that we can't compete with him at all."
Xiaohong bit her lips tightly, with sparks of anger flashing in her eyes.
She understood that all this was a conspiracy of the village chief, but she could do nothing about it.
