In the book, I was fed by my sister

When Li Bingchang took a step forward, the crowd around him immediately burst into laughter.

He heard the laughter of the crowd, his face flushed red, and he began to stutter: "We are all from the same village, so I won't introduce ourselves to you..."

However, his words did not quell the crowd's ridicule. Someone jokingly asked, "Dachangzi, if you become the village chief, will you gamble all our land? You must not lose my family's land!"

"Hahaha!" Louder laughter broke out in the crowd again.

Li Bingchang looked at them, and everyone in the audience was laughing or talking about him. His head began to heat up, his hands and feet felt numb, and the speech he had prepared was stuck in his mouth, unable to come out.

His father was a gambler, which was known to the whole village. Although he never participated in gambling, in the eyes of the villagers, he was also an incurable gambler like his father.

No one heard clearly what Li Bingchang said next, nor did anyone care.

The village is neither big nor small. People like Li Bingchang, whose family is not good, are regarded as second-rate people by everyone. No one thinks that second-rate people can be the village chief. If second-rate people are the village chief, they will be laughed to death by other villages if they are told about it.

Zhu Yongbiao couldn't hide his smile when he saw Li Bingchang go down in disgrace. If there were people like him in the crowd, anyone who wanted to run for village chief would be "booed". They also discussed a set of countermeasures, including how to deal with Su Xiaoxiao.

Why did he deal with Su Xiaoxiao? It was because he got the news that Su Xiaoxiao would also come to run for election today. This foreign daughter-in-law also wanted to manage Lihua Village, which was ridiculous.

However, he suffered a loss from this woman in the matter of "catching ghosts", so he naturally would not underestimate it, and he still had to make preparations. But today, it seems that this woman did not participate, which shows that she is self-aware.

After a few rounds, people began to get restless due to the hot weather.

Seeing that most of the people had come up, Zhu Yongbiao put on a smile and began to speak:

"Fellow villagers! I would like to take this opportunity to say a few words today. I want to run for the position of village chief of our village! Everyone here has watched me grow up, and everyone has seen what I am like. I believe that with everyone's common witness, I will become a competent village chief. If I am lucky enough to be elected as the village chief, if there is any problem in any family, I will naturally be the first to take over! You are all my relatives, and I will treat everyone fairly and justly. In addition, I have a cousin who works in the government office. Once there is any disturbance, he will tell me the first time, so that I can provide everyone with the latest information in a timely manner."

"Good!" Zhu Yongbiao's supporters who were arranged in advance in the crowd immediately took the lead in applauding, and then other villagers followed suit.

They looked at Zhu Yongbiao, who was honest, always friendly, and still very young. It would not be bad if he became the village chief...

Zhu Yongbiao suppressed his inner joy, steadied his breath, and continued: "Then let's start..."

"I want to try!" Song Ran stood up in the crowd, and she walked through the crowd into the hall amid the discussion. Zhu Yongbiao didn't expect that a Cheng Yaojin would appear at this time, but she was just a little girl, so he was not afraid of her. He kept winking at the crowd.

Those who stood up to Zhu Yongbiao were all second-rate people in the village. When they heard Zhu Yongbiao's look, they began to find fault: "You, an outsider daughter-in-law, want to meddle in the affairs of our village!"

Zhu Yongbiao felt nervous. Why were these guys so stupid?

People have changed, and they don't even know how to change their words...

"Miss Song, you are a woman, so you don't have to join in the fun."

When Zhu Yongbiao heard this, he turned his eyes to look at Li Danfu who was speaking, then shifted his gaze to the others. Seeing them nodding in agreement, he finally felt relieved.

Everyone wants to get on the moving gold mountain in Su Xiaoxiao Village, but Song Ran is not as good as Su Xiaoxiao now. It seems that there is no need for him to arrange it, so naturally some people are dissatisfied.

Song Ran looked at the people pointing and talking below, with no expression on her face. She and Su Xiaoxiao had anticipated these words in advance, so she was not surprised or angry when she heard these people's discussions.

Compared to what I expected, what these people said now was nothing special...

Song Ran picked up the loudspeaker that she had prepared in advance. She wanted her voice to be transmitted to everyone present, so that these people could make good judgments instead of just blindly following the trend and voting.

"Fellow villagers! I have lived in Lihua Village since I was a child. Everyone knows who I am, so I will not introduce myself. If I am elected as the village chief, I will do the following things for everyone..."

Her voice was loud and firm, so that everyone present could hear it clearly.

"First, we need to improve everyone's living conditions. Our village has a public account with a considerable amount of money in it, but this money has basically not been used. It should have been used to improve our village's roads, canals and other infrastructure, but now, this money has been lying there dormant."

At this point, her tone became a little heavy: "Think about it, what kind of year is it now? Money will only become less and less valuable! At this time last year, we could buy a bushel of rice with eighty coins, but now? This bushel of rice is already more than eighty coins. You should be very clear about these situations when you go to the market!"

When Song Ran started talking about the public account, everyone fell silent. The originally noisy courtyard became so noisy that you could hear a pin drop.

People stared at Song Ran with wide eyes, and couldn't help but murmur in their hearts: This money is really a hot potato, no one dares to mention it or touch it, but Song Ran, a little girl, actually has the courage to bring up this matter.

Zhu Yongbiao's eyes widened as he stared at Song Ran, with greed and anger flashing in his eyes.

He had been eyeing this money for a long time, but he didn't expect Song Ran to mention this in public. He snorted coldly and asked sarcastically, "Huh! Miss Song, are you going to use this money to build roads? Or build canals? Or build a mill?"

The road is rotten in the middle section, so it naturally won't affect the people living at the village entrance. If the land is used to repair the road, the people living at the village entrance will naturally not agree.

Canals are only needed in fields located at high places; low-lying fields cannot enjoy them.

There is only a little money in the public account, which is enough to barely take care of everything. If Song Ran dares to mention it, Zhu Yongbiao will naturally put this guy to the test.

Zhu Yongbiao looked at the others, "What do you think?"

He glanced over and someone agreed: "Yes, this road doesn't affect the people in our village, why should we repair it?"

"That's right, we might as well divide up the money. We shouldn't have set up this public account in the first place!"

For a moment, everyone echoed and pointed their criticism at Song Ran.

Song Ran naturally knew what Zhu Yongbiao was up to, and wanted to embarrass her. She ran a shop, and the things she encountered in all aspects were enough to support the problems she was facing now, not to mention that she and Xiaoxiao had already predicted these problems.

"I will do everything that Brother Zhu said!"

When these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar. Could it be that... Song Ran was going to pay for it out of his own pocket? If he could pay out of his own pocket to improve the village, they would naturally support it...
