Chapter 477 Do You Have That Much Money?
Mengyu immediately lashed out at Shuiyu: "How can I not be anxious? Do you know what will happen to those girls when they fall into the hands of human traffickers?
They’ll gang-rape them first, take photos, destroy their self-esteem, before they can control them completely.
Especially the very beautiful ones, they can keep to sell for a good price; if they’re just pretty, they’re usually the first to suffer.
If we can intercept their car before nightfall and rescue those girls, then this tragedy can be prevented. If they’re rescued too late after being defiled, even if we save their lives, we can’t save their shattered hearts."
Upon hearing Mengyu say this, Chairman Huang immediately became anxious: "Vice County Magistrate Wen—"
Vice County Magistrate Wen glared fiercely at Mengyu, then glanced at the pile of broken wood and said: "It’s easy for you to say, but do you realize how much it costs to dispatch so many police forces? The police forces from other brother counties aren’t so easy to employ—"
"I’ll pay for it!"
Mengyu cut him off. She first threw out a stack of money: "Here is the compensation for this table."
Then she threw out several more stacks: "Make calls to the counties along the coastal roads right now. Tonight, every police officer on duty gets a subsidy of ten yuan."
Chairman Huang watched, his eyes twitching.
The female cadre, however, was eyeing Mengyu, rolling her eyes in thought: Should I take advantage of this girl?
This female cadre, named Jing Sanmei, was the deputy head of Damiang Town in Wen County, here to see Vice County Magistrate Wen for funding to construct roads for village development.
You see, the policy of ’household contract responsibility’ had just begun, and farmers’ enthusiasm for production was unprecedentedly high. However, people’s hearts were no longer as unified as before.
In the past, reconstruction of roads and irrigation systems was done by the commune, people worked for free, then went back to the production team to earn work points. Therefore, repairing roads and irrigation was not a problem.
But after the implementation of the household contract responsibility system in the countryside, the specialist teams naturally disbanded. It was still possible to gather farmers to work, but if there wasn’t a penny’s pay, no one would want to do it.
Moreover, purchasing materials like cement and sand costs money, so nowadays, building roads requires funds.
Vice County Magistrate Wen’s contact point was in their town, and she was thinking about crying poverty to County Chief Wen to beg for some money to repair their roads.
But Vice County Magistrate Wen’s mouth was tightly shut: when she cried poor to him, he would just discuss his own difficulties, making it incredibly hard to squeeze any money out of him.
If only this young lady was willing to donate.
With this thought, she began to speak in support of Mengyu.
"Don’t worry, young lady. Vice County Magistrate Wen is a man of honor, rescuing young women is his undeniable duty, he will certainly help you."
Vice County Magistrate Wen hadn’t expected this young lady to be wealthy.
Wealthy people always get a little more respect, especially when the wealthy person is also strong in martial power.
This is what you call ’money makes the world go round.’
With the female town head hinting from the side, it would be too much if he still refused to agree.
"Okay, I will call the brother counties for assistance right away. However, to thoroughly block the roads leading to the coastal areas, at least six counties need to come out. Fifty people from each county, that’s three hundred people in total..."
Three hundred people, at ten yuan each, that’s three thousand yuan. Do you have that much money?
"Should we..." Chairman Huang thought to say, should we reduce it to five yuan. Actually, a night duty subsidy of five yuan isn’t bad, since they normally have to go out on night patrol without any subsidy, right?
Being a police officer is inherently a tough job written with hardship.
