Chapter 919 Polluted
In the village, rumors about the misappropriation of funds spread like wildfire, and villagers began to question Xiaoxuan. "Xiaoxuan usually looks quite reliable, but how come he can't even manage his own family? How can we trust the money in this village?" a villager complained during a chat. Xiaoxuan felt guilty and helpless when he heard these discussions. He and Qi Tongwei rushed around, trying to find a way to fill the gap in the misappropriated funds and to appease the villagers.
In order to raise money, Xiaoxuan and Xiaoyan sold everything they could at home and borrowed a lot of money from relatives and friends. Qi Tongwei also put aside all his pride and raised money for his father's surgery and his sister's supermarket. In the process, they were under tremendous pressure and exhausted both physically and mentally.
Xiaofeng, on the other hand, was cornered by his creditors and came up with an even more ridiculous idea. He teamed up with a few of his cronies and planned to disrupt a large-scale tourist event held in Qingshan Village to threaten Xiaoxuan to pay back the money as soon as possible. On the day of the event, they created chaos in the crowd, causing some tourists to be injured and the scene to be in chaos. After Xiaoxuan and Qi Tongwei learned the news, they quickly rushed to the scene. Looking at the scene in front of them, Xiaoxuan was completely furious. He rushed forward and grabbed Xiaofeng: "You disappoint me so much. You actually did such a heinous thing for money!"
After this incident, Xiaofeng finally realized his mistake and turned himself in to the police station, confessing to the embezzlement of public funds. Xiaoxuan and Qi Tongwei actively cooperated with the police investigation, while working hard to make up for the losses caused by the event and sincerely apologized to the tourists.
After dealing with these things, Xiaoxuan and Qi Tongwei collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion. They looked at each other's haggard faces, and they were filled with emotion. "Tongwei, we have paid so much for Qingshan Village, but we didn't expect that our family would hold us back in the end." Xiaoxuan said with a wry smile. Qi Tongwei patted Xiaoxuan on the shoulder: "This is also a test for us. Both our family and the village are our responsibilities. We can't give up on either one."
In the following days, Xiaoxuan and Qi Tongwei re-examined the relationship between family and work. They understood that only by balancing the two can they go further. Xiaoxuan and Xiaoyan sat down and communicated with Xiaofeng calmly, helped him develop a repayment plan, and encouraged him to start over. Qi Tongwei also reached a consensus with his sister Qi Yue that their father's illness should be given priority, and the supermarket expansion plan should be temporarily shelved.
As time went by, Qingshan Village gradually returned to its former tranquility. Xiaoxuan and Qi Tongwei also learned a lesson from this family crisis and cherished the people around them and the hard-earned results even more.
However, life always seems to like to play jokes. After a brief period of peace, a new crisis is quietly approaching.
One day, Xiaoxuan was checking the growth of the newly introduced crops in the farmland when his cell phone suddenly rang. It was an old farmer in the village who was on the other end of the line. He said anxiously, "Xiaoxuan, it's bad! A group of people came from nowhere and started measuring the land west of our village. They said they wanted to build a factory. What should we do?" Xiaoxuan's heart tightened. He hurriedly explained a few words to the old farmer, and then immediately contacted Qi Tongwei, and the two rushed to the scene together.
When they arrived at the west end of the village, they saw a group of people busy with professional measuring instruments. There were also several vehicles with the logo of a large enterprise parked nearby. Xiaoxuan walked up and stopped a middle-aged man who seemed to be in charge. He asked politely, "Hello, what are you doing? This land belongs to our Qingshan Village. How can you measure it without permission?" The middle-aged man looked at Xiaoxuan, took out a document from his briefcase, and said, "We have the relevant procedures. This land has been acquired by our company, and we are going to build a modern factory next."
Xiaoxuan and Qi Tongwei looked at each other, their faces full of confusion. They had never heard of land being sold in the village, and Qingshan Village has always been committed to the development of ecological agriculture and rural tourism. The construction of the factory will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the village's environment and development plan. Qi Tongwei said seriously: "We need to verify the authenticity of this document, and the land transaction in the village must be agreed by all villagers. We cannot approve of your behavior." Seeing this, the middle-aged man said impatiently: "Don't delay our work. If you have any questions, go to your superiors." After that, he turned around and continued to direct the surveying work.
Xiaoxuan and Qi Tongwei knew that things were not that simple, so they quickly returned to the village and called a meeting of village representatives. At the meeting, everyone was talking about it, and they were shocked and angry about the land being sold. "This is absolutely not okay! We worked so hard to build Qingshan Village into what it is now. Once the factory comes, the environment will be destroyed. How can we continue our tourism and agriculture?" A young villager said excitedly. Xiaoxuan calmed everyone down: "Don't worry, we will investigate this matter thoroughly and will never let the interests of the village be harmed."
After the meeting, Xiaoxuan and Qi Tongwei began to ask around for information. They visited the town government and the land management department, but found that the document was complete and seemed impeccable. But they did not give up. After several days and nights of in-depth investigation, they finally found the clue. It turned out that the document was tampered and forged by improper means. Behind it was a company eager to expand, which attempted to use loopholes to forcibly build a factory in Qingshan Village.
Just as they were about to expose the conspiracy, the company seemed to have noticed something was wrong and began to put pressure on Xiaoxuan and Qi Tongwei. First, someone sent them an anonymous threatening letter, warning them not to meddle in other people's business; then, some of the village's infrastructure was inexplicably destroyed, causing a lot of inconvenience to the villagers' lives. Faced with these threats and destruction, Xiaoxuan and Qi Tongwei did not back down. They decided to make the matter public and use the power of the media and society to protect the rights and interests of Qingshan Village.
At a press conference, Xiaoxuan and Qi Tongwei elaborated on the incident in detail and showed the evidence they had collected. Once the incident was exposed, it immediately attracted widespread attention and condemnation from the public. The relevant departments intervened in the investigation and eventually confirmed that the company's documents were forged, which stopped the factory's construction plan. Qingshan Village escaped disaster again.
However, before they could catch their breath, another problem came. With the development of tourism in Qingshan Village, the number of tourists has increased day by day, and garbage disposal in the village has become a big problem. The original simple garbage collection method can no longer meet the needs. The garbage piles up like a mountain, which not only affects the beauty of the village, but also pollutes the environment.
