Chapter 1043: The Life-Saving Money Has Been Secured!

"Xu Daye, County Magistrate Tang also asked me to convey a message to you. He knows about your granddaughter's condition. Although this money is just a drop in the bucket and not enough to cover all the medical expenses, please do not be too anxious; he will think of a way with you," Ma Ran said softly.

Only then did Xu Fu'an realize that his situation was already known to County Magistrate Tang. "Thank you for County Magistrate Tang's understanding."

The reason Xu Fu'an acted as a troublemaker was not for himself.

Rather, it was because he had a granddaughter who relied on him for survival.

Everyone at the Old Lock Factory knew that this granddaughter had no blood relation to him.

He had never married in his life; his older sister had died relatively early, and his sister's daughter had been adopted by him.

His adopted daughter had been divorced twice. This girl was the daughter of her second husband. The stepdaughter said she was going abroad to work, so she left this girl for Xu Fu'an to look after, then vanished from the face of the earth, leaving no word.

Starting the year before last, his granddaughter contracted leukemia, and the monthly medication was a huge expense. Moreover, Xu Fu'an had one wish: he wanted to cure his granddaughter's illness.

After the Old Lock Factory was demolished, Xu Fu'an became a laid-off worker.

He had originally expected that once the demolition compensation money was in hand, he would have the money to buy medicine for his granddaughter.

He had not expected that this money would be embezzled.

This was his granddaughter's life-saving money!

That was why Xu Fu'an had become a troublemaker, constantly petitioning.

Now that the life-saving money had been secured, and County Magistrate Tang had promised to help him, this undoubtedly allowed him to find a glimmer of light in the darkness.

The next morning.

Tang Ye and Ma Ran made a "surprise attack," arriving at the County Finance Bureau.

Inside the courtyard, a long line had formed; they were all employees of the Old Lock Factory.

Tang Ye saw Xu Fu'an in the crowd and took the initiative to walk over.

"Xu Daye, hello!"

When Xu Fu'an saw Tang Ye, he was so moved he couldn't speak, tightly gripping Tang Ye's hand, his eyes full of tears.

After finally calming his emotions, he said loudly, "This is County Magistrate Tang. It was he who helped us fight for our demolition compensation."

The lock factory employees were deeply moved and began to express their gratitude all at once.

"County Magistrate Tang, thank you so much. We have been chasing this money for many years; we had almost given up hope."

"I had cursed the government before; the government was very disappointing. But now I finally know that the government will not ignore us."

Tang Ye had not come to the scene today just to inspect the County Finance Bureau's distribution of money; he had other purposes as well.

"Dear fellow villagers! Everyone, listen to me for a few words.

First, on behalf of the government, I apologize to everyone. Because the demolition compensation was not distributed in place, it made everyone feel very unhappy. I hope everyone will give the government a chance and continue to trust the government.

Secondly, I have some good news to tell everyone. In a few days, an inspection team will come to the Old Lock Factory to conduct research. As far as I know, the operating condition of the Old Lock Factory is going from bad to worse, and the efficiency is very poor, so it needs to change to allow the Old Lock Factory to glow with new vitality. At that time, I will need everyone's cooperation.

Finally, I promise everyone that life will definitely get better and better. Please wait and see!"

"County Magistrate Tang, we believe in you!"

"Please rest assured, we will definitely cooperate with the government to handle this inspection."

Yang Ping had already been detained at the Station Police Station for several days.

He found it very hard to understand why he had been locked up.

As for that young man who hit him, he surprisingly had nothing happen to him at all.

Zhao Zhangle walked into the Interrogation Room.

Yang Ping said with great agitation, "Police Station Chief Zhao, how much longer until I can get out?"

Zhao Zhangle sighed, "You will probably have to stay here for another dozen days or so!"

Yang Ping said angrily, "Police Station Chief Zhao, I haven't offended you, have I?"

Zhao Zhangle gave a bitter smile, "You haven't offended me, but the person you offended is someone else."

Yang Ping said in surprise, "Who did I offend? Could that kid have some background?"

Zhao Zhangle sighed, "Stop calling him 'that kid,' 'that kid.' The person who hit you is named Tang Ye, and he is the new Acting County Magistrate of Yechuan County. He hadn't taken office yet before, so I hadn't told you his true identity. He officially took office yesterday."

Yang Ping widened his eyes, looking at Zhao Zhangle in disbelief, "The kid who hit me... is the new County Magistrate! Then didn't I take that beating for nothing?"

Zhao Zhangle was not surprised by Yang Ping's reaction, "Just stay here. Tomorrow you will be allowed to see your family. If there are any daily necessities, you can have your family bring them over."

Yang Ping said indignantly, "Wasn't my going to catch Xu Fu'an to make his taking office go more smoothly? Did I do something wrong in this matter?"

Zhao Zhangle rolled his eyes, "On the day County Magistrate Tang took office, Xu Fu'an led people to block the road, causing traffic congestion, but with County Magistrate Tang's intervention, it was cleared up very quickly.

In addition, early this morning, the employees of the Old Lock Factory all went to the County Finance Bureau to claim their demolition compensation.

County Magistrate Tang helped the Old Lock Factory solve a difficult problem that had plagued them for years!"

Auntie Chen successfully received her demolition compensation, her face full of happy smiles.

With this money, she had the confidence to arrange a wedding for her son.

Her son worked in the Provincial Capital and had been seeing a girlfriend for several years.

Because of financial reasons, the young couple had never registered their marriage.

This money was not a lot, but it could add some confidence for them to get married.

Auntie Chen called her son, "The demolition compensation for the Old Lock Factory has finally come down. Your father and I have over thirty thousand yuan in total; the money for the wedding banquet is there."

Her son said with emotion, "Mom, I don't want this money. We aren't planning a big wedding; we'll just have a travel wedding when the time comes."

Auntie Chen shook her head and said, "When children get married, as parents, we must contribute. By the way, the County Magistrate said today that our lock factory is going to reform. After the new factory is built, they will expand the production line and will prioritize us old employees. We don't need to worry about being laid off."

"Really? I didn't expect the new County Magistrate to be someone who gets things done," her son said with emotion.

"Yes, this new County Magistrate is very young, not much older than you, and he is a man of great talent and good looks," Auntie Chen couldn't help but praise.

She hung up the phone with her son.

Auntie Chen thought of the News Girl reporter, Tian Xiaomeng, who had helped her before.

So, she dialed Tian Xiaomeng's number.

"Reporter Tian, hello, this is Auntie Chen."

"Auntie Chen, I'm sorry, the news story from our last interview couldn't be aired. Please rest assured, I will keep an eye on the situation at the Old Lock Factory at all times; if the Government doesn't change its stance, I will go again!" Tian Xiaomeng said with some shame.

"Reporter Tian, I'm calling to tell you some good news. We have received our demolition compensation." Auntie Chen said gratefully, "This time, it's all thanks to you. Do you remember that young man who acted bravely for a just cause? He is actually our new County Magistrate. After he took office, he acted immediately and helped us solve the problem!"

"The new County Magistrate?!"

Tian Xiaomeng's eyes were filled with surprise!

No wonder the police officer's attitude toward her had changed so much that day!

No wonder that interview couldn't be aired!

Now she had finally found the reason!
