Lin Man saw it on the TV news.
The news specifically reported the cause and effect of the incident.
It also mentioned the polarization of public opinion and finally asked the viewers what they thought.
What do you think?
Lin Man tore off the IV drip and wanted to get out of bed to find Lin Wan.
The caregiver hurried to hold her and called for doctors and nurses.
The orthopedic doctors and nurses were annoyed, some comforting, others re-attaching the IV drip.
In the end, they moved the two sisters into the same ward, under the name of the department director. They couldn't manage them anymore.
Lin Man did not scold Lin Wan, but asked her to remember the medical expenses and how long she had to stay in the hospital.
When Lin Wan got better, she would have to take care of her for as long as the caregiver had, and also repay the medical expenses, which she would give to their father.
Because she was injured saving Lin Wan, it was her own fault, and her father shouldn't have paid her medical bills.
If she hadn't stepped forward, Village Chief Li wouldn't have taken the opportunity to pounce, and Lin Wan would have been strangled to death by Lin Enhu.
Therefore, "Lin Wan, since you don't acknowledge Village Chief Li's life-saving grace, then that life-saving grace must belong to me. You couldn't have saved yourself."
"Remember that you owe me a life. This life, I will definitely make you repay it. It's meaningless to drag it to the next life."
After speaking, she closed her eyes to rest and instructed Lin Wan's caregiver to keep a close eye on Lin Wan, guarding the door even when she went to the restroom.
Lin Wan also saw the news and regretted it.
Now, not only did her father want to strangle her, but her sister, who had always doted on her, also treated her with indifference.
Lin Er'lai's ward did not have new orthopedic equipment, but he also heard about the incident from the next bed.
His anger was useless.
Li Zhengguo finished watching the news and asked his wife with a smile if she was indirectly advertising for Kushanli.
"Half and half," Tian Jing sighed,
"I feel wronged for you. Lin Wan took it silently, and we have no psychological burden."
"If she sues, we feel guilty if we don't compensate, and resentful if we do."
"I think it's better to just be an ordinary villager as before, and do whoever you want to overthrow."
"Why would we care if Lin Er'lai was harmed by Lin Enhu? The result is that we got into trouble."
"I am also giving society a warning in advance. The richer humans become, the colder society becomes."
"Hurry up and write your resignation report, and seize the opportunity to retire."
Li Zhengguo naturally listened to his wife and submitted a resignation report to County Mayor Ji.
County Mayor Ji made a stroke of his brush: Approved.
Along with the resignation report, two appointment letters were sent back to Kushanli.
Zhou Chengbing was appointed as the village chief of Kushanli Village, and Li Zhengguo was appointed as the town party secretary and town mayor.
The original town party secretary and town mayor had resigned six months ago due to health reasons, and County Mayor Ji was struggling to find a candidate.
The three villages of Kushanli fell into silence.
Village Chief Li was promoted, and he was in charge of Kushanli. They couldn't object. They had to congratulate Village Chief Li, no, Town Mayor Li.
Li Zhengguo and Tian Jing were also silent.
Neither of them expected County Mayor Ji to promote someone without a word.
They wanted to get rid of trouble, but now there was even more trouble.
It was no wonder that Zhonghe Village and Zhangshan Village would come to Town Mayor Li to cry and complain.
Lin Er'lai, upon learning that Village Chief Li had resigned and been promoted, asked Lin Duo'er to write for him, and he would sue Lin Enhu and the nurse on behalf of his youngest daughter Lin Wan.
Lin Enhu's actions caused great harm to Lin Wan, not only physically but also mentally, leading to various extreme reactions.
The nurse's meddling caused Lin Wan's severed arm to be injured again, causing a double injury, both physically and mentally.
The day Town Mayor Li took office was the day Lin Enhu and the nurse received the summons.
There wasn't much of a stir in the prison. Lin Enhu felt wronged for himself, so what kind of commotion could there be?
When the nurse received the summons, the entire county hospital was in an uproar over this summons.
The nurse's act of saving someone was considered meddling?
The county hospital held an emergency meeting. If this matter was not handled properly, they could indeed lose the case.
If they lost, it would not only affect the nurse but also the entire hospital.
An orthopedic nurse told Lin Man about the court summons.
The nurse asked Lin Man if she could take her sister to transfer to another hospital, as they were afraid they would be the next to receive a summons.
Lin Wan, who had already been restricted in her freedom for several days, yelled at the nurse, "If you dare to advise me to transfer, you are refusing medical treatment, and I can sue you for sure."
"Crash!"
The nurses were so scared that they ran away in a hurry.
"Hmph!" Lin Wan snorted heavily at the ward door. How dare they bully her? She was knowledgeable about the law.
Lin Man glanced at her sister and closed her eyes, speechless. She was also getting a headache from her sister's antics.
Li Zhengguo got busy after taking office as town mayor.
He went to work on time every morning and didn't get home until dark.
There were too many trivial matters to handle, no wonder the previous person's health had problems.
He asked his secretary to summon the deputy party secretary and the two deputy mayors for a meeting.
When the deputy secretary and the two deputy mayors arrived, they were reprimanded by Town Mayor Li.
Li Town Mayor's requirement was that after the matters within their scope of responsibility were handled by them, they should submit a handling report, and not push all the matters upwards.
Whoever handled it improperly would be responsible.
Do you want to be an official, get paid, and not want to handle matters or take responsibility? Is there such a good thing in the world?
Don't tell him 'If it's not handled well, I don't know how to handle it.' These eight words could represent laziness, or lack of ability.
If the entire town's affairs could be handled by the party secretary and the town mayor alone, what would be the use of deputy mayors and deputy secretaries? Were they just decorations?
Those who feel incapable should retire and make way for capable people, don't occupy a position without doing anything.
If they handle matters recklessly with strong measures, once discovered, they will be reported to the authorities if they should be, and step down if they should.
After reprimanding his three subordinates, Li Zhengguo instructed his secretary:
"Secretary, immediately post recruitment notices to hire two town mayor assistants, who will undergo written exams and interviews."
"Also, post a notice that all positions will undergo performance reviews in one month. I want to see how many pests are here."
"There will be no re-examinations. Those who fail the exam will be immediately dismissed."
"With me, there is no room for sentimentality. I am here to work seriously for the common people, not to talk about sentimentality with some people."
"From top to bottom, including myself, everyone will participate in the exam without exception.
After Li Zhengguo created a scene of resentment in the town government, he was satisfied and left work early.
Zhou Chengbing then held a brief broadcast meeting.
It was very brief, with only one sentence: The reason Village Chief Li was approved to resign was that the higher authorities felt that Village Chief Li had spoiled the villagers.
Spoiled?
Villagers spoiled?
The villagers didn't understand.
They went to ask Village Chief Zhou, but Village Chief Zhou's reply was still the same: Think for yourselves.
This time, there was no need to think.
Village Chief Zhou expressed his difference from Village Chief Li through his actions and words.
Although Village Chief Li always punished them, he eventually returned it to them.
If the former Deputy Village Chief Ou was a benevolent village father when he was the village chief,
Then Village Chief Li was a strict village father.
Both village chiefs treated their affairs as their own.
Both village chiefs regarded themselves as the parents of the villagers.
Parents would indeed spoil their children, wouldn't they?
And wouldn't they spoil a scoundrel like Lin Wan who would sue the village chief?
Self-inflicted!
