Chapter 174

Then he went to look for Chen Hongfu, but Chen Hongfu smiled and said to him: "Little Peng, you are a very capable person. I believe you will definitely be able to handle this work. This is the organization's trust in you."

Peng Kehong was completely desperate. He knew that this must be because the telephone bill incident some time ago had offended all these leaders, so there was no

leader willing to speak for him. Now he had no good way, so he could only go to the family planning station to report in a dejected manner.

When getting off work this afternoon, Zeng Xianglin invited Su Xinghui to his home for a drink with a smile. Su Xinghui couldn't refuse, so he had to go to his home.

Zeng Xianglin's home was on the first floor of the township government courtyard, which was two flat houses. A kitchen was built outside. When Su Xinghui arrived at his home, Zeng Xianglin's wife had already cooked several dishes, and there was also a steaming beef stew with carrot hot pot. Wine and wine glasses were already set on the table.

Zeng Xianglin asked Su Xinghui to sit opposite him, then picked up the wine to pour for Su Xinghui, and filled a glass for himself, raising his glass: "Come, Little Su, I'll toast you!"

Su Xinghui then drank this glass with Zeng Xianglin.

During this period, because Su Xinghui was enthusiastic to people and didn't look at Zeng Xianglin, who had a somewhat strange temper, differently, this made Zeng Xianglin's relationship with him better and better. The two had already become good friends. In the Party and Government Office, Zeng Xianglin didn't sell anyone else's face, but he sold Su Xinghui's face. Whatever Su Xinghui asked him to do, he would absolutely not be ambiguous.

Su Xinghui put down his wine glass and said to Zeng Xianglin: "Brother Zeng, thank you for supporting my work during this period!"

Zeng Xianglin waved his hand: "We two brothers, who is who? Isn't it natural for me to support your work? Don't talk about this, let's have another drink!"

After two glasses, Su Xinghui saw Zeng Xianglin's wife still serving dishes, and he said: "Sister-in-law, don't cook anymore, come and eat quickly!"

She smiled heartily: "Little Su, you drink with your Brother Zeng, don't worry about me. I have one more dish cooked and I won't cook anymore. I still have to greet the children to eat."

Su Xinghui said: "Yes, Brother Zeng, where are your two children? Let them come and eat too."

Zeng Xianglin had two children. The eldest was a girl, nine years old this year, and the youngest was a boy, three years old this year.

Zeng Xianglin said: "It's okay, the eldest is taking her younger brother in the room next door. Let her mother greet them to eat after she finishes cooking."

Zeng's wife finished cooking, filled two bowls of rice, picked up dishes, and went into the room next door.

Zeng Xianglin raised his wine glass again: "Come, let's have another drink!"

After this glass of wine went down, Zeng Xianglin said: "Little Su, do you know why I invited you to drink today?"

Su Xinghui had some clarity in his heart, but he still shook his head: "I don't know."

Zeng Xianglin laughed loudly: "Your Brother Zeng is happy today!"

Su Xinghui knew that Zeng Xianglin usually didn't get along with Peng Kehong, and the two often had some friction. However, Peng Kehong didn't have a good relationship with anyone, so he didn't care. He estimated that Zeng Xianglin was just so happy because Peng Kehong was unlucky.

Zeng Xianglin didn't wait for Su Xinghui to speak, and smiled: "I'm happy because Peng Kehong is unlucky!"

Su Xinghui didn't speak, because he felt that even if a villain was unlucky, it wasn't worth being so happy.

Zeng Xianglin continued: "You must not know why I'm happy, right? Brother Zeng has always treated you as a brother. I haven't said this to anyone else, so I'll tell you today."

Zeng Xianglin then talked about a public case. After listening, Su Xinghui knew what kind of grievances he had with Peng Kehong, and also knew why Zeng Xianglin hated Peng Kehong so much.

It turned out that Zeng Xianglin only had one daughter before, but his parents were the kind of very traditional old people who felt that they had to have a grandson, so they forced Zeng Xianglin to have a second child. Zeng Xianglin was a state cadre and was not allowed to have a second child. If he violated the family planning policy, he would lose his public office at worst, and be punished at best, and it would be difficult to have a chance for promotion again.

Precisely because of this, Zeng Xianglin didn't want to have a second child. After all, he was a person with a strong desire for progress. However, the two old people repeatedly asked him to have a second child. Zeng Xianglin was a very filial son, and he also had the concept that of the three unfilial acts, having no descendants is the greatest. Thus, he had a crooked idea.

This crooked idea was to find a doctor to open a fake certificate, proving that his daughter had congenital heart disease. In this situation, he could have a second child. This matter was really handled by him. He found a doctor to open a fake certificate and got a birth permit from the family planning office, so he could have a second child.

In fact, in the township government, everyone knew that Zeng Xianglin's daughter didn't have any congenital heart disease, and his certificate was fake. However, at that time, Zeng Xianglin's popularity in the township government was good, and everyone didn't want to offend people for this matter. After all, in their view, if it was broken, it was a matter of cutting off incense and fire, which was hurting yin virtue, so no one broke it.

In this way, Zeng Xianglin and his wife successfully gave birth to a second child. After becoming pregnant with the second child, they also went to the hospital to find acquaintances to illegally have an ultrasound to confirm it was a boy before giving birth.

When the second child was born, it happened to be when Peng Kehong came to Meng Hu Ling Township government to work. At that time, Zeng Xianglin and Peng Kehong were both in the Party and Government Office. Peng Kehong was very good at handling things, and his relationship with Zeng Xianglin was quite good. The two were also like brothers.

One day, Zeng Xianglin called Peng Kehong home to drink. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Peng Kehong asked strangely: "Brother Zeng, why do you have two children?"

Zeng Xianglin said proudly: "I got a birth permit for my second child."

Peng Kehong asked: "How did you get the birth permit?"

Zeng Xianglin said: "I went to the hospital to open a certificate, proving that my eldest daughter has congenital heart disease, so I can have a second child."

Peng Kehong asked in surprise: "Does Xiaofang have congenital heart disease?"

Zeng Xianglin shook his head: "No, I just opened a certificate. With this certificate, I can have a second child."

Peng Kehong said: "Isn't that a fake certificate?"

Zeng Xianglin said: "You are wrong to say that. This is a certificate opened by a regular hospital, how can it be fake? Little Peng, if you get married in the future and also want to have a second child, I can help you open a certificate."

Peng Kehong nodded: "Fine, if I need it in the future, I will find Brother Zeng to help!"

Zeng Xianglin took it all on himself: "No problem, Brother Zeng will definitely help you then."

For more than two years, everything was peaceful. However, in the first half of this year, things changed.

At that time, the Deputy Director of the Party and Government Office, Shi Zhiqiang, was transferred away, and the position of Deputy Director of the Party and Government Office became vacant. At that time, Su Xinghui hadn't come yet, and Fu Bo and Wang Wenjing were temporary workers and were not qualified to compete for the position of Deputy Director of the Party and Government Office. Only Zeng Xianglin and Peng Kehong were qualified to compete for this position.

Of course, Zeng Xianglin's qualifications were older than Peng Kehong's, and his popularity in the township government was better than Peng Kehong's. Therefore, his support was much higher than Peng Kehong's. Chen Hongfu had already talked to Zeng Xianglin, hinting at adding a burden to him. Zeng Xianglin was proud and satisfied for a while, and Peng Kehong also expressed congratulations to Zeng Xianglin.

But who would have thought that the situation would change drastically a few days later? The County Commission for Discipline Inspection sent people to investigate Zeng Xianglin's situation of having a second child. The situation investigated was naturally not optimistic. Zeng Xianglin's daughter didn't have congenital heart disease, and that certificate was fake. ===== CHAPTER 176 =====
