Li Rui was no longer angry. Instead, he was more interested in her. He wanted to see when she would be moved and conquered by him. This could be a painful journey full of hardships, and in the end, it would not end well. But if it went smoothly, he would enjoy the pleasure of conquering. At that time, he would knead her round and flatten her, taking revenge for her ignoring him today.
After leaving Hu Liquan's house, Li Rui took Ling Shuyao to Li Wenhua's clinic, which was diagonally opposite the village primary school.
Li Wenhua heard that Ling Shuyao was only stung by a spicy scorpion. He was very surprised and said, "What's there to cure? What's there to cure? I can't cure it either. You can go back. "Ling Shuyao said angrily," Doctor, how can you say that? A doctor has the heart of a parent. I came to see you and you didn't even look at me and you want me to go? How can a doctor be like you? " Li Wenhua shook his head and said, "Even being stung by a scorpion is not a big deal, let alone being stung by a spicy scorpion. It's not worth it. It'll be fine after one night. It won't hurt tomorrow. Go back, go back. "Ling Shuyao got up and left angrily.
Li Rui asked, "Doctor Li, is there really no way to cure it?" Li Wenhua thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll sell you a medical tape. You can stick it on the stung area. When a spicy scorpion stings someone, the thorns on its body will fall off. There's poison on it. You can stick a part of it out with the tape and it can relieve some of the pain. " Li Rui nodded and took out five yuan to buy a medical tape. He ran out to catch up with Ling Shuyao and explained the situation briefly. Ling Shuyao snorted and said, "Who does that doctor think he is! Tsk, his hair is messy and he doesn't even shave. How can he be a doctor with such a sloppy appearance? He opened a clinic in the village. If he went to a big hospital, no one would want him! "
Although she grumbled, she still went home with Li Rui. She sat on the kang bed and stretched out her hand. The back of her hand was facing up, and she did not move at all. Li Rui tore off the tape and pressed down on the stung area on the back of her hand. Then, he pulled hard.
"Ah …" Ling Shuyao screamed and said angrily, "Do you want to die? Why are you using so much strength? Are you going to skin me? "
Li Rui laughed and said, "Of course. How can I get the burrs out without using a lot of strength?" Ling Shuyao snorted, "Just you wait. If you get stung by Sao Chili someday, I'll skin you alive!"
Li Rui laughed and looked at the tape under the sun. He really saw a few thin white burrs. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see them. He showed them to Ling Shuyao.
Ling Shuyao frowned and said angrily, "Why are you stinging me? First it was scorpions, then Sao Chili, and now snakes. Why aren't they stinging you? "Li Rui laughed and scolded," Damn, how can you be like this? I'm treating you out of the kindness of my heart, but you're cursing me to get stung. " Ling Shuyao laughed and said, "Stingy guy, what's there to be afraid of if you curse me? It's not like I'll really get stung …"
As they laughed, Li Rui cut a few more strips of tape and stuck them on her several times. He only stopped when he couldn't stick anything. At this time, he asked Ling Shuyao how she felt, but she couldn't say anything. The pain didn't seem to be that bad anymore, but it still hurt.
That night, Ling Shuyao was supposed to be the one to cook. However, considering that she had suffered so many injuries, Li Rui took the initiative to take over the cooking job. He thought to himself, As long as you're not made of stone, you'll be moved one day. Just watch how I'll slowly move you.
During dinner, Ling Shuyao didn't feel as moved as Li Rui had hoped, but she didn't disappoint him either. She said casually, "I'll cook tomorrow night." Of course, what Li Rui wanted wasn't as simple as her exchanging cooking orders with him. He didn't want to give up and tried to be gentle. "There's no need for that. I'm not that rigid. Everyone will feel unwell at some point. It's fine even if I cook a few extra meals. "Ling Shuyao ignored him and continued to eat and drink as if she didn't hear him at all.
The days passed quickly. On this day, the farming experts invited by the city and county governments arrived at Little Dragon King Village and began to train in related techniques. While Hu Liquan and the others were training, they also began to apply for small loans.
When they applied for loans, Li Rui discovered that there was an unreasonable setting that could affect the development of poverty alleviation work for thousands of households. It turned out that no matter if it was the Mutual Poverty Alleviation Foundation or the Postal Savings Bank, when the poor applied for a special poverty alleviation small loan, they had to provide collateral. If they didn't provide collateral, they wouldn't be able to get a single cent. However, even if they did provide collateral, how could the poor have anything valuable in their homes? Therefore, they wouldn't be able to get a large loan.
This setting was a method that the foundation and the bank came up with to protect their own interests. They were worried that if the farmers lost money and couldn't repay the loan, they would be caught at a loss. To a certain extent, it was reasonable. However, when it was applied to poverty alleviation, it seemed to be forcing people to do something beyond their means.
For example, if Hu Liquan wanted to breed live scorpions, even if he didn't need to buy them and could just use local scorpions, building a scorpion house and purchasing equipment to raise them would cost money. In addition, considering the scorpions' food, he listened to the experts' advice and planned to breed live bait such as rice vermicelli worms. This would also require investment. All of these added up to a total investment of about 5,000 yuan. However, his family couldn't come up with anything that could be used as collateral. If he wanted to use his house or land as collateral, the local bank's loan policy clearly stated that farmers were not allowed to take out loans in the form of collateral.
There was no way to get a loan!
Li Rui attached great importance to this matter. He immediately talked to the county leaders and the bank leaders. The deputy county leader in charge of poverty alleviation, Gu Changshun, couldn't do anything about this. He kicked him to the bank leaders like a rubber ball. The bank leaders also complained that there was no other way. Any country or place that wanted to get a loan had to provide collateral. Their policy was already very favorable. It was they who couldn't come up with collateral. They shouldn't make things difficult for them because of this.
The phone call was in vain. Li Rui was very worried and anxious. However, although he was anxious, he didn't report this to Song Chaoyang. Could this matter be solved if he reported it to him? Even if he could solve it, if he had to deal with everything, then what was the use of him as a vanguard?
Since there was no way to get a loan, he thought of applying for the Poverty Alleviation Fund. He called Unit Chief Li of the county's Poverty Alleviation Fund Project Unit. Unit Chief Li agreed readily. He said that it was no problem to apply for the Poverty Alleviation Fund. However, he had to go through a set of strict and tedious procedures. It would take at least a few months for the Poverty Alleviation Fund to be approved. This was under the premise that everything went smoothly.
Li Ruixin thought that he was no longer in Little Dragon King Village after a few months. What did the Poverty Alleviation Fund have to do with him? He told Unit Chief Li that he would think about it.
In the evening, Li Rui and Ling Shuyao sat in the central room to discuss how to solve this matter.
Li Rui had thought more than once that as long as Hu Liquan didn't have any major problems with Scorpion, he would definitely make money. Why not lend him the money secretly? Anyway, it wasn't a lot, only 5,000 yuan. Even if Hu Liquan lost everything, he wouldn't feel bad about it. However, on second thought, it was easy to lend the money to Hu Liquan, but there were many people who had the same experience as him. Those few young men couldn't get the money. Did he have to borrow money from all of them? If this matter was spread out, people wouldn't think that he was a good person. Instead, they would think that he was a corrupt person. Otherwise, where would he get so much money to lend people?
After a moment of silence, Li Rui asked, "Do you have any good ideas?" Ling Shuyao shook her head and said, "The country is actually very strict with the farmers in the countryside. On the surface, they are given land so that they can support themselves by farming. However, the land given to them is strictly limited. For the farmers, there is almost no way to make money other than digging for food in the soil. In this day and age, farming doesn't make money at all. The farmers can barely fill their stomachs. No wonder there are hundreds of millions of migrant workers coming to the developed coastal cities to work every year. In my opinion, we should implement land reform and let the farmers have a variety of rights to use their own land. Otherwise, there will be more and more poor families in the future. "
Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "You are right, but it doesn't make any sense to the difficulties we are facing now." Ling Shuyao sighed faintly and said, "The more we do the work of poverty alleviation, the more we find that there are too many tricks in it. Our slogan of poverty alleviation is so loud, but we have neglected the fact that some cadres take advantage of the opportunity to earn rebates in the process of poverty alleviation. Some units pretend to wave the flag of poverty alleviation but set harsh thresholds. Compared to them, the lazy, cunning, and even greedy mountain people are much more down-to-earth. " Li Rui said, "Director Ling, I didn't ask you to come here to express your thoughts. Quickly discuss with me how to solve this problem."
