Chapter 289: Don't Do This

my health doctor, Xu Lin, whenever I'm free, she almost comes over every day. 。I told her not to come so often, but she just won't listen to me. 。。"Xiao Zheng said, 'Next time you come, I'll touch y...At this time, Sun Wenmin also spoke: “Xiao Zheng, listening to Chen Hong say it like this, this money might really have to be given.” 。Even if I am not elected this time, it will pave the way for promotion next time. 。Xiao Zheng glanced at Chen Hong, Chen Guangming, and Sun Wenmin. He also knew they were all looking out for him, hoping he would get promoted. 。But today's Xiao Zheng is vastly different from the Xiao Zheng of old. He has his own opinions now, and there's no way he would do such a thing. 。Xiao Zheng just said: "Chen Hong, Uncle Chen, Aunt Sun, this matter is too risky." 。Chen Hong probably only heard about Tan Shu's true character through hearsay. 。If he were an honest leader, seeing his subordinates offering him money, he might really turn it over to the disciplinary committee. Then, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he wouldn't be able to wash himself clean. 。To date, I am still the first. 。I don't think it's necessary to take this step. 。Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin could hear that Xiao Zheng's address to them had changed. 。Before this, Xiao Zheng had already called them "Dad" and "Mom", but today he suddenly switched back to calling them "Uncle" and "Aunt". 。They thought, could it be that they came up with the idea of letting him give money, making Xiao Zheng unhappy So he changed his title back

If that's really the case, this child Xiao Zheng is a bit too clueless! Aren't they all doing this for his own good

Chen Hong didn't really care about the change in titles either, still nonchalant: "Xiao Zheng, precisely because you are first, I saw hope for public elections, that's why I came up with such an idea" 。Don't forget, your competitor is Yao Baixiang. He has connections at the provincial government level. If you don't send some things over soon, he could easily take your position. 。"

Xiao Zheng said: 'If the other party has a strong background, even if I send some money, it won't be effective.'" 。"How could a few dollars compare to a relationship that's deeply ingrained"

"That's why I said send it first and then we'll see." 。"This is a chance close to Tan Shuji's record!" Chen Hong frankly said, "Actually, I think the possibility of your winning this time is very, very small." 。We're doing this just to prepare for a promotion or transfer in the future. 。"Don't you understand this yet"

It turned out that Chen Hong didn't believe at all that Xiao Zheng could have been elected this time! Xiao Zheng's pride was a bit hurt, he just couldn't believe it, and said: "Chen Hong, thank you for thinking of me" 。However, I don't do things like sending money. 。I want to get into the position of deputy county magistrate through my own efforts. 。If I really don't pass the exam, I'll accept it and continue to do my job well as the town mayor. 。Oh, I forgot to tell you guys, tonight I have to go back to Green Water Village to see my parents. I'm full now. 。Chen Hong, Uncle, Aunt, I'll be taking my leave now. 。Saying that, Xiao Zheng stood up from his seat and walked towards the door. 。Chen Hong was taken aback. She didn't expect Xiao Zheng to stand up and say goodbye before she had finished speaking. 。Chen Hong shouted, "Xiao Zheng, you're not allowed to leave!"

At home, Chen Hong had always been the pampered young lady. Even sometimes when her father wanted to go out for mahjong, a simple "You're not allowed to leave" from her would make Chen Guangming obediently stay behind. 。But Xiao Zheng didn't listen to her. He put on his shoes at the door by himself, then looked up and said, "Goodbye" 。Having said that, Xiao Zheng walked out of the Chen family and closed the door. 。The sound of the door closing was not loud or quiet, a soft "click". 。At the same time, Chen Hong also "slap" with a bang, put her chopsticks on the table. 。

Her hands were clasped together in front of her chest, her eyes welling with tears.

Sun Wenmin quickly held his daughter's hand and said, "Chen Hong, don't be sad." 。“Chen Hong looked at her mother and said, ‘Mom, look at Xiao Zheng’s attitude! When have I ever been treated like this I'm not doing this for him’ Sun Wenmin also said, ‘Yeah, Xiao Zheng’s attitude was bad today! Why didn’t he just say something nicely instead of leaving Chen Hong, if you’re not happy, let’s just put off the marriage! Let him see what we’re made of.’” 。"

Today Xiao Zheng put down his glass and left, which made Sun Wenmin very dissatisfied." 。The son-in-law she wants is the obedient kind, not the one who acts independently and disregards their opinions. 。Chen Guangming was also not satisfied with Xiao Zheng's performance today. He said, "Chen Hong, you two haven't gotten married yet, and Xiao Zheng doesn't listen to you much. How will you handle it after marriage I agree with what your mother said, postponing the wedding and putting some pressure on him. " 。Maybe he'll listen then"

Chen Hong looked at her parents, said nothing, and suddenly picked up the red wine on the table and took a gulp. 。She said, "I'll call his parents first and ask them to discipline their son!"

That night, after leaving Chen Hong's house, Xiao Zheng didn't go back to his new apartment. He was worried that Chen Hong would rush to the new apartment, and he didn't know how to face her at that time. 。So, he called the driver Xiao Zhong to pick him up and go to Lvshuicun. 。By the time we reached Green Water Village, it was almost nine thirty in the evening. 。Xiao Zheng thought his parents had already gone to sleep, but unexpectedly, Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei were still in the dining room. 。Hearing the sound of a car outside, Xiao Rongrong walked out of the house and said, “Son, is that you back”

Xiao Zheng told Xiao Zhong to pick him up tomorrow morning, then followed his father back into the house. 。Fei Qingmei was just bringing a cup of tea to the table: "Xiao Zheng is back Have some tea first." 。"Xiao Zheng sat down and asked, "Dad, Mom, why are you still not asleep You usually go to bed quite early." 。“ Fei Qingmei said, “Your dad and I are waiting for you.” 。"Xiao Rongrong also nodded." 。。Xiao Zheng thought, it seems he was guessed. 。Xiao Zheng then asked, "What did Chen Hong tell you"

Fei Qingmei spoke first, saying, "Chen Hong said that today when you had dinner at her place, you didn't say a word and left unhappy" Xiao Zheng countered without answering, "Did Chen Hong say what it was about" Fei Qingmei replied, "She said she gave you advice, saying that to help you get elected..." 。"You not only didn't listen, but you also left. Is it this thing"

"The situation is like this..." 。"Xiao Zheng also didn't deny it, and said, "But do you know what Chen Hong suggested to me" Fei Qingmei said: “That wasn't specifically mentioned.” 。"Xiao Zheng said: "She told me to take money to the mayor's office." 。She said, "My competitors in the province have connections. If I don't give this money, I definitely won't get elected." 。Both Fei Qingmei and Xiao Rongrong were taken aback, especially Fei Qingmei: "Give money How can you do that"

Xiao Zheng said: "Not only did Chen Hong say so, but her parents also agree with her." 。But I didn't want to do that, so I left. 。If you don't leave, you'll only become more unhappy. 。"Xiao Rongrong thought for a moment, and said: "Xiao Zheng, actually what they said isn't wrong." 。If you don't send it, I'm afraid I won't be able to choose one. 。But I also think it's right that you didn't go. 。Once you start sending money to climb up, it's like addiction; you can't stop. 。What are we in government for We still need to figure that out. 。It's not just about climbing up, is it Once a person becomes corrupt, they are like dung beetles, no matter how high they climb, they are still dung beetles, reeking with filth. 。Although Xiao Rongrong used to be a rich young master from Huajing, he later became a farmer in Green Water Village. However, he still had his own bottom line and principles, otherwise he wouldn't have married Fei Qingmei, a girl from Huajing, nor would he have decided to move south to An County for his weak son Xiao Zheng!

Xiao Zheng listened to Xiao Rongrong’s firm and straightforward words, and smiled, giving Xiao Rongrong a thumbs up: "Dad speaks clearly!"

Being praised by his son, Xiao Rongrong became even more motivated: "Our son is going to be an official, he has to be clean and honest. Even if it's a small position, it doesn't matter, no one can harm you." 。"If you cross the line, anyone can hold your handle to ransom, and you'll always be living in fear. That's hell!" Qingmei, do you understand what I mean"

"I don't know if you're right or wrong" Fei Qingmei intentionally avoided answering and retorted, "But Chen Hong said that if Xiao Zheng doesn't go to her house to apologize for suddenly leaving, she will postpone the wedding." 。That means the wedding on May 1st is canceled. 。"Xiao Zheng was taken aback and asked, "Did Chen Hong really say that"

Xiao Rong also nodded and said, "Yes, your mother was on the phone, I was there too," 。"Chen Hong, how can you blackmail me like this About your May Day wedding, both I and your mother have announced it in the village! So, Xiao Zheng, just go apologize." Xiao Ruo immediately hung up her phone. 。However, Xiao Zheng didn't think so at all. 。He was supposed to talk to Chen Hong about postponing their engagement today, but unexpectedly, Chen Hong brought it up first! Of course, Xiao Zheng couldn't tell his parents that he actually wanted to postpone the engagement too. 。Xiao Zheng said, "Dad, I did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize"

Fei Qingmei persuaded him, "Xiao Zheng, you are still young..." 。Actually, after all these years of being married to your dad, I've finally come to understand one thing. 。Between husband and wife, there is no need to argue about who is right or wrong. Sometimes, there is no right or wrong, only understanding and tolerance. 。If you apologize, Chen Hong will forgive you, and her parents will forgive you. You can still get married on May 1st. 。 。"However, Xiao Zheng said: “Dad, Mom, let me handle this myself.” 。Xiao Rongrong looked at Xiao Zheng and suddenly asked, "Son, you wouldn't have other women you like, would you To be honest, our Xiao Zheng is now the town head, there's really no need to apologize for something that's right! If Chen Hong really doesn't want to get married, I think it's fine." 。"From all the people who have come to our house, Xiao Shuji, Haiyan's secretary, An Ruyi, and President An, which one is worse than Chen Hong!"

Xiao Zheng also didn't expect Xiao Rongrong to say that! Could it really be "a son is like his father"

"Old Xiao, what are you talking about!" Fei Qingmei rebuked her husband, "You shouldn't be instigating your son like this Xiao Zheng and Chen Hong have been boyfriend and girlfriend for so many years, did they break up just because of this Are you being reasonable"

Xiao Rongrong stuck out her tongue: "I don't want to see my son wronged, okay"

Xiao Zheng didn't want to worry the two elders, so he said: "Mom and Dad, I will handle this myself." 。Just give up. 。I have to get up early tomorrow, so I'm going to wash up and go to sleep now. 。"Fee Qingmei didn't want to bother her son, so she prepared water for him to wash his face and feet. " 。When Xiao Zheng was wiping his face with a towel, Xiao Rongrong found a newspaper and said, "Son, take a look. There's another place in the north where strange lightning and thunder have appeared. To be honest, it's quite similar to what happened in our village before." 。Xiao Zheng heard this and was curious. He took it over to have a look. 。The results showed that the newspaper actually published a dragon-shaped lightning bolt, photographed by someone unknown! her head. "No, yesterday we set off for Shu and Xiao Jingyu has already gone back to work." 。“She’s already back at work” Sima Yue was a little surprised. “Didn’t she just give birth Going back to wo...
