Chapter 37

Su Yang couldn't hold back and cursed again.

This Qin Chuan and Li Tian were too much; hundreds of villagers couldn't be settled at night, and the two of them were drinking and playing mahjong.

They didn't care about the life or death of the common people at all.

"Town Mayor, why don't you call the other Deputy Town Mayors?" Zhou Tai was also anxious.

"Okay, now I can only call them one by one."

Su Yang suppressed his anger and called the three Deputy Town Mayors separately.

One didn't answer, one was turned off.

Only the last-ranked Deputy Town Mayor Li Hu answered the phone; originally he was also very indifferent.

But when he heard that the villagers of Huatian Village were all trapped on the mountain, he said, "Mayor Su, I will gather people to come over right now."

"But there are no disaster relief supplies in town; I will report this situation to you later."

Su Yang couldn't care about much at this moment, so he said, "You first find a way to get some tents and quilts up here."

"By the way, also mineral water, instant noodles, and so on."

"Some children are already so hungry they can't take it anymore."

"Even if you have to go to town to buy them on credit, you must get it done."

"Also, have two people from the town health center come."

After arranging all this, Su Yang felt the burning pain in his thighs and arms.

He looked down and saw a clear scratch on his thigh; his trousers had long since become shorts...

His arm was also bleeding profusely.

"I'll help you bandage it first." Zhou Ruohan only then saw that Su Yang was injured.

But there was no gauze or anything here, so Zhou Ruohan turned around, tore two strips of cloth from her shirt, and helped Su Yang bandage his wounds.

She asked, "Are none of the leaders in the town here?"

Su Yang smiled coldly, "Either they are out drinking or playing mahjong. I have already told them about the situation here, and both of them pushed it away. It's shockingly indifferent."

"Only one Deputy Town Mayor will come later, but there are no relief supplies in town..."

He knew Zhou Ruohan's identity, which is why he told her everything.

"How could it be like this?" Zhou Ruohan's eyebrows immediately stood up, and she was furious.

She had actually come down this time to investigate whether relief and subsidies had reached the hands of the common people.

But after a round, she found that apart from the pitifully small amount of relief grain, she hadn't seen anything else.

She thought these things were being held up in the town, but who knew there was nothing in the town either? This was simply shocking.

"I won't be afraid of you laughing, I only took office yesterday."

"And I was basically exiled here by those above, blocking someone else's path to promotion, so naturally they hold a grudge."

"This is deliberately targeting me, which is why they have become so insane. As for the situation of disaster relief supplies, I really don't know what the situation is."

Su Yang walked to the bonfire and said.

"Town Mayor, I've heard about the disaster relief supplies; it's said that they were directly resold by someone."

"Although they are all on the books in town, the warehouse is actually empty."

"In recent years, they have been asking for them from above, but they have never used them."

Zhou Tai explained from the side.

"Truly daring; they even dare to touch life-saving things?" Su Yang was so angry his face turned pale.

He had thought such a situation might exist, but at most it would be passing off inferior goods as superior ones or falsifying accounts.

But no matter what, one-fifth or even one-tenth should be there, right?

But the large Huatian Town had nothing.

This used to be the wealthiest town, and the town government was rich as oil; how many years has it been?

They don't even spare disaster relief supplies?

"Town Mayor, there are many situations you don't know about; they even dare to openly sell disaster relief tents and such. And it's right in the Huatian Supermarket."

"The supermarket is opened by Director Hu of the Civil Affairs Office..."

Zhou Tai told him everything he knew.

Originally, he had planned to report it after returning, but since he had encountered it now, he just said it.

"Heh, hehehe." Su Yang let out a series of cold laughs.

Zhou Ruohan was also very angry, but she didn't say anything more. After staring at the darkness in the distance for a while, she looked at Su Yang by the bonfire and asked, "Then what do you plan to do?"

Su Yang said, "A group of people will come later; first settle all the villagers."

"Tomorrow, organize people to clear the silt and let the villagers save what property they can."

"In addition, apply to higher-level units for disaster relief supplies, and at the same time discuss how to settle the villagers."

"To put it bluntly, it's to find a place to rebuild."

"However, I'm not sure how much supplies and reconstruction funds I can apply for from above."

After hearing this, Zhou Ruohan murmured, "A grassroots official who truly works for the people is so difficult."

At this time, her phone suddenly rang, and she went to the side to answer it, "Hmm, it's okay, they have already been transferred to a safe place."

"The villagers were all transferred under the leadership of their Town Mayor; no casualties were caused, but the village was completely submerged and needs to be rebuilt."

"Hmm, I know, I'll be back tomorrow..."

Su Yang looked at Zhou Ruohan's back, also pondering something.

He knew Zhou Ruohan's identity, but Zhou Ruohan didn't know about this matter.

This disaster relief and settlement of villagers were the responsibility of the civil affairs department; I don't know if this Division Chief Zhou can help out when the time comes...

Two hours later, Li Hu arrived with dozens of people and some supplies.

Su Yang and the old party secretary Liu Ximing led some capable men down to meet the supplies.

"Deputy Town Mayor Li, thank you for your hard work." Seeing Li Hu, Su Yang greeted him very enthusiastically.

Li Hu looked at Su Yang, who still had mud on his face and wounds wrapped on his body, his face twitched slightly, and he said, "Mayor Su, this is all that could be bought in town."

"We'll have to think of other ways for the rest tomorrow."

Su Yang said, "We'll only spend one night on the mountain; we'll find another place to settle tomorrow."

"Supplies won't be that tight."

After going up the mountain, Su Yang arranged for the distribution of supplies, and seeing that the old and children had eaten, he tilted his head and fell asleep.

He slept until dawn, but when he woke up, he found a military overcoat covering him.

Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly saw someone shaking a mobile phone in front of him, but he didn't pay attention.

He got up, ate a few bites of instant noodles, and then instructed the old party secretary Liu Ximing to settle the villagers; he had to go down the mountain to the town for a meeting to study the disaster relief plan.

"Mayor Su, please wait a moment."

"You saved my life yesterday, and I haven't had time to thank you yet."

"Please leave your phone number; I'll come find you separately later..."

Su Yang was just about to leave when Zhou Ruohan chased after him.

Su Yang left his number very readily; wasn't this the moment he was waiting for?

However, just as he was preparing to go down, a large group of people came up, looking dark and heavy.

Looking at them, there were even people carrying cameras.
