Chapter 557: Chapter 556: Taking on the Task Ourselves

Alexander Lee’s heart was filled with anxiety. If a large-scale conflict broke out between the two villages, it wouldn’t be a minor issue.

Upon learning about the water dispute between the two villages, Alexander Lee sent Peter Brown to the scene and immediately organized personnel in the township and reported to the county.

While gathering many people and rushing to the scene, Alexander Lee even made the worst plan: if the situation worsened, he would have to retire in the county.

However, when Alexander Lee and his team hurried to the scene, they saw a very calm situation, and even found everyone sitting together discussing matters with Peter Brown.

What happened?

Alexander Lee couldn’t understand it, and neither could Eleanor Smith.

How could Peter Brown, an outsider, manage to control the situation in such a short time?

Alexander Lee simply couldn’t believe it. After all, he knew the local customs well. He sent Peter Brown here for two reasons: firstly, Peter was mainly in charge of public security, so who else could he send? Secondly, it was to let Peter face the crazy situation, which would also knock him down a peg.

However, the situation was completely different than what Alexander Lee had anticipated.

"Mr. Hill is here?"

Peter Brown stood up.

"How’s the injury situation?" Alexander Lee was most worried about this.

At this point, Tobias Thompson hurriedly said, "Mr. Hill, as soon as Township_Head_Wang arrived, he resolved the situation. Now the injured have been treated by Township_Head_Wang."

What?

Everyone present was taken aback, looking at Peter Brown.

"I learned some first aid knowledge in the military, so it came in handy."

Peter Brown said this very casually.

At this, Alexander Lee sighed inwardly, thinking that he had underestimated Peter Brown.

After everyone expressed their thoughts in a clamor, Alexander Lee looked at the villagers with a complicated expression: "We know your situation in the township. The main problem now is the funding issue. Without funds, there’s nothing we can do."

As soon as Alexander Lee spoke these words, the villagers’ agitation started again. Miles Mitchell raised his voice and said, "Township_Head_Wang, can you not handle the issue you promised?"

Peter Brown looked at Alexander Lee and said, "Mr. Hill, I just discussed this issue with everyone. The current situation is to draw water from the river behind Tilted Sunset Village’s back mountain. If this problem can be resolved, I believe the situation here will improve."

Alexander Lee looked at the villagers’ situation and knew that it was not the time to discuss this. So, he reluctantly said, "Alright, we will study this issue after we return."

Peter Brown noticed by Alexander Lee’s demeanor that he wanted to shirk the issue and had no confidence in resolving it.

Thinking of the promise he made to the people of the two villages, Peter Brown said seriously, "Mr. Hill, I learned that our township has a targeted assistance program for village leaders. Has any leader visited these two villages?"

Eleanor Smith nodded, saying, "The situation in these two villages is special, and we have never been able to send anyone in."

Peter Brown said, "Alright, I will take charge of these two villages."

"You!"

Alexander Lee gazed at Peter Brown with a complicated expression, not knowing what Peter Brown was thinking.

However, since the current situation was as it was, and Peter Brown was willing to work in these two villages, it made more sense. Let him hit the wall.

Alexander Lee looked at Eleanor Smith and asked, "Eleanor, what do you think?"

Eleanor Smith looked at Peter Brown and said, "Township_Head_Wang, the conditions here are not good, and the situation is complicated."

Her intention was to let Peter Brown think more about it and not get himself involved in this matter.

Peter Brown was very earnest, saying, "I have thought it over."

Eleanor Smith gave a bitter smile and nodded to Alexander Lee.

Alexander Lee said, "Well, the matter is settled. You will be responsible for the targeted assistance and promotion of development in these two villages. However, there isn’t much money in the township, so be prepared for that mentally."

Peter Brown replied, "I understand. I will investigate the situation here first and see if there is a suitable development direction."

Alexander Lee nodded and said, "Leave the township’s public security work to Alex Carter for now."

Peter Brown didn’t care about the power issue at all and nodded, saying, "That’s good too. I can focus on doing things here. I won’t return with you today. I will start working here from now on."

At this point, both Alexander Lee and Eleanor Smith didn’t quite understand Peter Brown. Generally, when new leaders arrived, they would first control their management departments. Now, Peter Brown was different. He didn’t care about those things at all, and instead chose a tough task to tackle.

Alexander Lee’s heart suddenly felt relieved, thinking that Peter Brown’s approach was in line with his wishes. Alex Carter was his man. If Peter Brown didn’t interfere, Alexander Lee could grasp all the matters related to the Police Station. That was a good thing.

Eleanor Smith’s expression became more complicated. She really couldn’t figure out what Peter Brown was thinking.

However, since the matter had been proposed by Peter himself and everyone had agreed, it wasn’t appropriate to object.

"Gael Armstrong, Township_Head_Wang will stay in your village. Make sure you arrange his accommodation."

Alexander Lee looked at the village chief of Tilted Sunset Village and said.

Gael Armstrong replied earnestly, "We are impressed with the way Township_Head_Wang works, no doubt. Leaders, please rest assured. We will definitely arrange Township_Head_Wang’s accommodations."

The situation, which had the potential to escalate, was resolved like this. Alexander Lee’s mood also improved. He looked at the people of the two villages and said, "We are aware of the situation in both villages. Well, there are still some disaster relief supplies in the township’s civil affairs department. You can send someone to get them. First, solve the problem of having enough food. As for water, with Township_Head_Wang here to coordinate, both sides should be able to resolve some of the issues."

There were too many people that came with Alexander Lee, so it was unrealistic for them to stay and eat. Alexander Lee looked at Peter Brown, held his hand, and said, "Peter, I leave the matters of these two villages in your hands. Make sure to solve the problems and never let violent incidents occur again."

Peter Brown nodded, saying, "Mr. Hill, rest assured, I will take this matter seriously."

Eleanor Smith walked over, held Peter Brown’s hand, and said, "This is a hard nut to crack. Many of our colleagues have failed. You just do your best." She didn’t have much confidence in this matter.

Peter Brown smiled and said, "As long as everyone works together, there’s nothing that can’t be done."

After the people from the township left, the two villages immediately organized some strong villagers to follow them and move the disaster relief supplies. Peter Brown then looked at the village chiefs of the two villages and said, "For the time being, just follow your usual rules regarding water. Don’t cut off the water."

"Township_Head_Wang, we all know this matter is very difficult. The fact that you’re willing to take on this responsibility means a lot to us. You’re a good leader, and we don’t want to harm you. We simply don’t have many solutions!"

Hearing Sajan Evans say this, Peter Brown smiled and said, "Just because other people can’t do it doesn’t mean we can’t. Let me understand the situation first, and starting tomorrow, we will start working on this. I don’t believe that a person can really be strangled by their own urine!"
