Chapter 1170: Chapter 1170: Eliminating Future Troubles 12

After hearing Guan Cheng’s words and looking at the Grain Ticket and money he had handed him, recalling Wang Xiangmei’s actions and how despicable the children were all the same, Chen Xingguo couldn’t quite identify the feeling in his heart.

"Alright, I’ll have someone cook up some porridge and send it over later."

After sending them off, Chen Xingguo returned to the office and handed the money and Grain Ticket to Secretary Zheng.

Secretary Zheng had already picked up his old coat and was about to go home to sleep. He was startled when he saw this, "Why are you giving me money and the Grain Ticket?"

After Chen Xingguo explained the origin, Secretary Zheng sighed, "This child is kind-hearted and honest. No wonder the people of the Wanglou Brigade protect him; they must recognize his true nature. We really can’t let Wang Xiangmei harm her two brothers."

Wang Xiangmei was so malicious, wishing to push Guan Cheng and his brother to their deaths, but what about Guan Cheng?

Although he didn’t show any feeling toward Wang Xiangmei, he saw and took to heart the plight of the hungry and cold children.

Chen Xingguo responded with a hum, "Yes, the Lu Family has good family values, and the two children growing up to be as they are now is certainly thanks to the Lu Family."

He couldn’t help but be filled with emotion; the souls of Guan Kong and Guan Zhixuan could rest in peace.

"Hey!" Secretary Zheng nudged Chen Xingguo with his elbow, "Are Guan Cheng and Guan Yu actually descendants of the Guan Family? If not, it couldn’t be a coincidence that the Lu Family adopted them and raised them as their own sons."

"How should I know?" Chen Xingguo glared, "Whether they are or not doesn’t matter; dealing with Wang Xiangmei is the priority."

In the ensuing handling of Wang Xiangmei, Chen Xingguo was particularly diligent.

Upon learning of Wang Xiangmei’s actions, the Women’s Federation Director at her place, Liu Aihong, blushed with shame, feeling disgraced, and kept apologizing to Chen Xingguo, "Rest assured, rest assured, we won’t let her do this kind of thing again!"

"Don’t just talk, you need to actually control her actions. If they can’t make ends meet..."

Liu Aihong hastily interrupted Chen Xingguo’s next words, "Can’t make ends meet? Impossible, impossible. There’s a certain grain allocation for urban household registration. In recent years, the grain supply hasn’t been tight. Their family of five will have the ration for five people. How could they not make ends meet? Don’t listen to her nonsense. It must be because Wang Xiangmei is accustomed to being lazy and without work she has no money to buy food."

Chen Xingguo spread his hands, "Regardless of the cause, her appearance has indeed caused a great deal of trouble for a brigade of our commune. We hope you can discipline her rigorously so as not to embarrass us all. The villagers didn’t pursue the matter further out of their good nature and because the children don’t remember their hometown parents anyway, and there’s no evidence to make them believe Wang Xiangmei’s claims, so they didn’t pursue the abandonment charge against Comrade Wang Xiangmei."

"They have legs of their own, and we have no way to stop them from leaving. Please understand our difficulty," Liu Aihong spoke eloquently. "However, we won’t just casually write a letter of introduction for her to visit her relatives. We’ll immediately arrange a job for her cleaning the streets and toilets so she won’t have the time to go and trouble those two children and will have a salary to buy food and provide for her remaining children."

"Can’t you prevent the problem for good?" Chen Xingguo frowned.

Liu Aihong said helplessly, "Comrade Chen, it’s not that I don’t want to guarantee it, but I simply can’t. Right now, I’m in position and can control her, but when I’m gone, who knows what the next person will do?"

Chen Xingguo also knew it was difficult to prevent the problem for good. People like Wang Xiangmei typically wouldn’t stop until they achieved their goals.
