Chapter 41: The pleasure of being a snake head is great!

  Chapter 41: The pleasure of being a snake in the grass!

  Thank you very much "Strawman" for your great reward again! Thanks!

  ——————————————

  The next afternoon, Ling Dong and Sha Lin's Ye Kai Sheng and Lin Da Wu arrived at the countryside early. A few people got together again to unify their tone. When it was almost 10 o'clock, Gao Dao Ming and Old Yang also arrived. Lu Zheng Dong led the two into Wu Zhong He's office, introduced each other, exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and then Wu Zhong He said directly:

  "I've already understood about the water cut-off incident. The cadres in Lingdong Village didn't know, it was entirely a personal act of the villagers. Please ask Director Gao to explain the specific situation..."

  Gao Daoming didn't believe that Lin Dawu was unaware of the matter from the start, and he even suspected that Lu Zhengdong was involved in it. Otherwise, why did he just propose to exchange the land in Lingdong Village for the road repair land with Lu Zhengdong? Not even half a day had passed when Lingdong cut off all the water supply to the orchard.

  Although Lu Zhengdong was young, he was after all a leader in the countryside. He didn't dare to target Lu Zhengdong, so he spoke to Lin Dawu instead:

  "Lin Zhi Shu, our orchard still supports the work in your village very much. If you want to occupy our land, we won't say a second word. But you've cut off our water supply, isn't that too unreasonable?"

  Lin Dawu jumped up as if he had been stung by a hornet and said angrily:

  "Director Gao, this is a terrible injustice! My daughter's family had something going on and I wasn't even at home. If the village hadn't notified me, I would still be in the dark."

  Lin Dawu's words were high and clear, but he didn't believe them. However, he had come to solve the problem, and the cattle in the orchard were already thirsty and crying out in disorder. He couldn't afford to argue with Lin Dawu, so he said:

  "Lin Zhi Shu, those livestock raised in the orchard are not private property, they are state assets. If they die of thirst, the loss will be great. Lin Zhi Shu, as a party member and village branch secretary, you must take care of this matter."

  Lin Dawu made a bitter face and spread his hands:

  "I wanted to intervene, but now the land has been contracted out to individual households, and the villagers are very protective of their own things. The villagers do what they want on their own land, and even the village officials can't control them much anymore. Moreover, they're still building water conservancy facilities. Yesterday, I received a notice from the township and went to talk to them about it, but they said that the basic construction of farmland water conservancy is encouraged and supported by the central government, so why doesn't the village support it? Instead, they're pouring cold water on it... It's really hard to do rural work these days... I'm also worried that if others see the effect and follow suit, the problem will become even more troublesome..."

  Gao Daoming saw Lin Dawu pushing and shirking, threatening and playing tricks, and knew that he and Lin Dawu were just arguing about this matter, but it would not solve the problem. The root of the problem was still on the road repair, if the road repair was not solved, then the water source problem would definitely not be solved either. So he asked Wu Zhonghe:

  "Wu Xiangzhang, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

  Lu Zhengdong saw Gao Daoming already had a sign of softening, so he "glared" at Lin Dawei and said:

  "Old Lin, the orchard and your village are neighbors, everyone should support each other. You continue to do a good job as a villager, basic construction of farmland water conservancy is necessary, but it cannot affect the normal production and life of the orchard. I don't care how you do it, just hurry up and let the water flow into the orchard.

  Director Gao, the orchard also supports the village in road construction, so the problem can be solved. Director Gao, Lin Zhi Shu's words are also very realistic, farmers are not easy to mess with. Director Gao may not know that when the township collects taxes and fees, some people even committed suicide because of their messy relationships, but they blamed it on the township government. I am a personal witness, if I hadn't accidentally exposed them, now I and Wu Township Mayor might not be sitting in front of you.

  Now grassroots work is indeed difficult to do, rural grassroots work is also difficult to do, please Director Gao understand our difficulties..."

  Lu Zhengdong spoke as previously agreed in front of Wu Zhonghe, which cut off the water source of the orchard. This is the turn of the wind and water, this year it's our family's turn, originally they were asking for the orchard, now the orchard will come to ask them instead. So Lu Zhengdong's tone was also much more confident.

  Wu Zhonghe also nodded and said:

  "Director Gao, Director Lu, this is a big truth. If you don't believe it, you can ask the employees in your orchard..."

  Wu Zhonghe said, pausing for a moment before continuing: "Director Gao, Director Lu's suggestion is not bad. This way, Lin Zhi Shu can also do the work of the villagers well. What do you think, Director Gao?"

  Gao Daoming saw Lu Zhengdong stubbornly grasping the fruit garden's lifeline, step by step, and made a gesture that if the fruit garden didn't give in, it would not restore its water supply problem. However, he spoke reasonably and logically, leaving him no room for rebuttal.

  Gao Daoming couldn't help but think that Lu Zhengdong, who looked young and vigorous, was actually very cunning and difficult to deal with. He was a formidable character. Wu Zhonghe, on the other hand, had a gentle and courteous demeanor. The two of them were like two sides of the same coin, one playing the "red face" and the other playing the "white face", their performance was seamless. Gao Daoming thought to himself that it was hopeless to get the land in Sha Lin village. He thought bitterly that farmers were not easy to mess with, but their leaders were even more difficult to deal with!

  Gao Daoming was reluctant in his heart, but the fatal weakness of the orchard had been grasped by someone else, and the initiative was in someone else's hands, so he could only say:

  "The matter of two villages occupying the orchard's land, I really can't make a decision on this, I'll report such a solution to the bureau and see if they agree?"

  Wu Zhonghe nodded and said:

  "If Director Gao needs us to report to the Forestry Bureau, we will do so without hesitation. Let's work together to resolve this matter and not let it affect our relationship. Haha, Director Lu is also planning to set up a fruit leather factory, and in the future, we'll have more opportunities to collaborate... "

  Gao Daoming was not interested in the fruit leather factory and all he could think about now was solving the water source problem, he couldn't let the livestock die of thirst. He had already made his attitude clear to Jian Shan and the villagers, and didn't want to stay any longer. He thought about going back to the forestry bureau to report this matter as soon as possible, so he forced a smile and stood up to bid farewell.

  Gao Daoming walked out of the mountain and village government, and after a distance from the people between the mountain and village government, he solemnly faced Old Yang and said:

  "Old Yang, I understand now. These rural officials are all slippery like loaches, especially that Lu Zhengdong, young and yet a bit shrewd. We must be careful when dealing with him in the future..."

  Old Yang sighed inwardly, thinking that Gao Daoming's efforts this time were not in vain. Although the tuition was paid, Gao Daoming had gained valuable insight from it, which meant that the tuition was well worth paying. This showed that Gao Daoming was finally gradually getting into a state of mind...

  Easily create miracles.

  Standing at the entrance of the township government, Lu Zhengdong watched Gao Daoming with a dark face and Old Yang whispering to each other. He thought that Gao Daoming had misjudged the situation. There's a saying that "a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake". How could a small orchard like theirs be considered a strong dragon? Wanting to suppress a local snake was simply wishful thinking, and it would inevitably end in embarrassment.

  Can't help but smile: being a local tyrant is really quite enjoyable!
