Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Xiaohua and Liu Yumeng came out of Wu Jihong's house, and Liu Yumeng was still lamenting Wu Jihong's fate:

"A Key University Graduate, and from the early 2000s at that — how outstanding! Yet she's fallen into this situation. How can she accept it? If it were me, I'd have run off long ago; even going out to work as a laborer is better than being a Poor Household in the Village! She really read herself stupid!"

Wang Xiaohua didn't refute Liu Yumeng's complaints; he even agreed with her indignation.

Because given Wu Jihong's abilities, she truly shouldn't have ended up in her current plight.

One can only say, some things in this world are just this Absurd.

The kind of Absurd that no one would believe if you told them, yet it genuinely, actually happened in Reality.

Wu Jihong's case is too special, too extreme.

They say a woman has three chances to change her Fate in a Lifetime:

The First Time is studying, the second is work, the third is marriage.

But Wu Jihong failed to seize all three opportunities.

"Wang Xiaohua, how do you plan to help Wu Jihong?"

Liu Yumeng asked Wang Xiaohua this at that moment.

Wang Xiaohua was Stunned:

"How else can I help? However we treat other Poor Households, that's how we treat her. As a Poverty Alleviation Office cadre, I can't give her special treatment just because her experience is unusual. Resources are only So Much; if she gets preferential treatment, it's Unfair to the other Poor Households."

Hearing this, Liu Yumeng got Angry:

"How can you have not a shred of sympathy? She's a female University Student! A female University Student reduced to a Poor Household — shouldn't she get a little more Concern?"

Wang Xiaohua smiled politely:

"If you feel she deserves more Concern, perhaps you can take out your own money to sponsor her. After all, your family is well-off and doesn't lack this bit of money. And if you can't bring yourself to spend your own money to sponsor Wu Jihong, then don't Moral Kidnapping anyone — including me — with Moral Kidnapping."

Liu Yumeng was quite astonished to hear Wang Xiaohua say this:

"You guy, you really don't have an ounce of sympathy. They say the heartless are mostly scholars; that saying is indeed true!"

Liu Yumeng only kept accusing, yet didn't mention a word about spending her own money to sponsor Wu Jihong.

Wang Xiaohua, displeased by Liu Yumeng's behavior, also kept an extra eye on her, Because Know women who excel at Moral Kidnapping tend to throw punches, and women who throw punches are the most troublesome.

So in the future he still needed to Maintain a certain Distance from Liu Yumeng; this kind of person wasn't worth deep friendship.

"Compared to Wu Jihong, what I'm more Concerned about right now is the Sanlian Village Committee's Rural Cafeteria. Just now Wu Jihong's child said the Rice and dishes inside that Rural Cafeteria are spoiled, and the portions are very small. As the saying goes, children's words hold no guile — this talk probably isn't False."

Wang Xiaohua Changed the Subject, lest Liu Yumeng continue putting Moral pressure on him.

Liu Yumeng said:

"Why not go check the Village Committee side now? At this time, they should be cooking."

Wang Xiaohua thought a moment, then said:

"Let's continue the visits. We'll go over at Noon mealtime."

Liu Yumeng was puzzled:

"No, since you care about the Cafeteria, why not go catch them red-handed now? Who knows, by Noon the Village Committee people might have already gotten Wind and prepared all new Food ingredients to deal with your Inspection."

Wang Xiaohua smiled:

"Even if we catch them on the spot, what then?"

Liu Yumeng said:

"Of course dismiss them, then report them for embezzlement and bribery, make them face punishment!"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"I used to think that way too, but some things aren't that simple."

Liu Yumeng said:

"You're overthinking it."

Wang Xiaohua Explained:

"Things are done by people. You can't drive a person to do things solely with rules; otherwise they'll be unhappy and Grind away. That's human nature. Human nature won't change just because rules tighten. So to get things done well, you need Benefit to drive them."

Hearing this, Liu Yumeng was surprised:

"Your words mean you choose to turn a blind eye and let those people embezzle poverty funds?"

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly denied:

"I didn't say that. Don't misunderstand my Meaning."

Then he added:

"I've discovered you're prone to extremes. Like a coin — either heads or tails. Have you ever considered that the real world is actually an irregular polyhedral sphere? Besides heads and tails, it possesses many other Possibilities."

Liu Yumeng rolled her eyes:

"Don't know what you're saying! Spouting grand Principles one after another! Wang Xiaohua, I've found you — how can someone so young be just like a forty- or fifty-year-old veteran cadre! Same as my dad, always instilling in me the Doctrine of the Mean, concealing one's light and nurturing obscurity, blending with the dust!"

Wang Xiaohua smiled without speaking.

The two visited several more Poor Households, making detailed records.

Before long it was mealtime, and only then did Wang Xiaohua take Liu Yumeng to the Sanlian Village Committee.

Arriving at the Village Committee, they found the food was ready, but hardly any Poor Households came to eat.

Only a few intellectually disabled people were eating happily.

Wang Xiaohua and Liu Yumeng ate a Meal there and found the Rice and dishes quite good.

Liu Yumeng spoke softly to Xiao Hua:

"I told you so, they must have gotten wind of something and then changed the rice and dishes. If the rice and dishes were this delicious every day, how could so few people come to eat?"

Xiao Hua was noncommittal, only burying his head and eating rice.

At this moment Dong Dongdong walked over laughing heartily.

"Director Wang, Yumeng, how come you came here without even giving a greeting? You made it so I wasn't prepared to receive you at all!"

Liu Yumeng said:

"Do you understand what a surprise inspection is? If we greeted you, then it wouldn't be called a surprise inspection!"

As soon as Liu Yumeng spoke these words, Dong Dongdong felt unhappy in his heart.

Such words, are they something a newlywed like you can say? Truly doesn't understand human relations at all!

But Liu Yumeng has a deep background, no matter how unhappy Dong Dongdong was, he could only keep a smiling face and endure it; he also didn't dare to give Liu Yumeng a hard time.

Liu Yumeng saw Xiao Hua still burying his head eating rice, not having any reaction at all, she was anxious to death, and spoke again:

"Dong Dongdong, you always tell us, today's rice and dishes, were they specially made to deal with our inspection?"

Dong Dongdong naturally denied it flatly:

"No, how could that be possible! I didn't know you were coming, the Village Committee side's rice and dishes are like this every day, I eat here every day!"

Liu Yumeng directly questioned:

"Then you tell me, why did only a few fools come? I heard from others that the rice and dishes you make here are even rancid! Rancid is one thing, but the quantity is also little! Dong Dongdong, you're from our Poverty Alleviation Office, how can you be in cahoots with those few village cadres from Sanlian Village Committee?"
