Chapter 215: No One Has Privilege Above the Law
Zhang Dezheng was just about to say something when he heard footsteps approaching. Turning his head, he saw it was Brigade Leader Gao Jiefang and his wife.
The Brigade Leader glanced at the tightly shut gate, "Secretary, what are you doing?"
Upon seeing Gao Jiefang had arrived, Zhang Dezheng cursed internally, "I’ve been running around outside all day and only just had a moment to breathe upon returning. I came to check on Luo Qiao."
Qiao Lianlian said, "Secretary, you weren’t in the village this afternoon, and the director of women’s affairs came back saying the hospital suggested Luo Qiao should be hospitalized for treatment. But this child, being kind-hearted and believing she had no internal injuries, insisted on coming back home to recover and save money."
Hearing this, Zhang Dezheng replied, "Ah, it’s all my Qiaoyan’s foolishness that caused Luo Qiao’s injury. Today, my mother-in-law also took a fall and got busy being sent to the clinic for checks. Chunni and Dongyu stayed behind at Wangjia Gully today.
Dongze and I just got back to the village not long ago because of Qiaoyan’s issue, and we felt we owed it to Luo Qiao to come and see her."
A woman from a distance who didn’t get along with the Secretary’s family shouted, "Secretary, you really are something, not to mention Luo Qiao is a girl living alone, coming here in the dead of night, isn’t right, and who visits a sick person empty-handed?"
Zhang Dongze’s face was burning hot, and Zhang Dezheng was no better.
