Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

Liu Siyu opened the gate and saw that the people who came were Carpenter Tan, Xiao Minghu and Liu Fugui.

There is a fool following behind him.

Liu Siyu immediately understood the purpose of these people's visit.

Without further ado, he invited the person into the house and got straight to the point.

"But you're here about the fire in the workshop?"

Carpenter Tan spoke first.

"That's right. Hey, this incident is ultimately my fault. I was flattered by the villagers and lost my mind. When you explained it to me last time, I thought you were worrying too much. I didn't expect that someone would dare to harm the workshop."

"Everyone has their own unique face. No one knows what kind of heart is hidden under the familiar face of the other person. Think more about everything in the future."

Liu Siyu had no intention of blaming Carpenter Tan.

Even she didn't expect the village chief to take action.

The reason why he told Er Laizi and Liu Fugui about this was mainly because he was afraid that Zhang Zhiyuan would do something bad.

Carpenter Tan felt even more ashamed after hearing this.

"Alas, I will definitely pay more attention to the people and things in the workshop in the future."

"Of course, I will also pay more attention to the affairs of the village. I can no longer work silently like before."

Liu Siyu was very satisfied.

"It seems that this loss was not in vain."

Several people pulled their lips in embarrassment.

Carpenter Tan directly pushed Liu Fugui and Er Laizi out.

"This time it's all thanks to those two and Xiao Minghu, otherwise we wouldn't know who was behind the fire until the end."

Xiao Minghu already felt a little guilty, thinking that Liu Siyu had specifically entrusted the safety of the workshop to him when she left, but he did not take good care of the workshop.

He hurriedly pushed the credit to Liu Fugui and Er Laizi.

Liu Fugui is not surprised by honor or disgrace.

"We take the employer's money, so we naturally have to work hard for the employer. If we were someone else, we would work just as hard."

Er Laizi originally wanted to take credit, but after hearing what Liu Fugui said, he felt it was not appropriate to take all the credit for himself, so he quickly started to flatter him.

"That's right. The boss thinks highly of me, so I will definitely not cheat or do anything shady. If you have anything to do in the future, just leave it to me. I guarantee that I will do it properly."

"Okay, work hard in the future."

As Liu Siyu spoke, he took out two taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Er Laizi.

"This is a reward. If you work hard for me, I will never let you down."

Er Laizi went to pick it up happily.

Liu Siyu immediately retracted her hand.

He smiled and said, "Let me make it clear first, this money is for you to live a good life, don't turn around and spend it on the winery."

Er Laizi immediately smiled from ear to ear.

"All of you should listen to the boss, all of you should listen to the boss..."

After sending Er Laizi away, he said a few words of encouragement to Xiao Minghu, and finally told Carpenter Tan to take good care of the workshop in the next few days and not to worry about anything else.

Carpenter Tan and Xiao Minghu naturally agreed.

The only one who did not mention the reward was Liu Fugui.

And the one who made the greatest contribution this time was Liu Fugui.

Carpenter Tan and Xiao Minghu were both a little confused, but neither showed it.

In their minds, Liu Siyu naturally has her own standards for doing things, and perhaps there is a deeper meaning behind this that they cannot see.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Liu Fugui.

There was not much disappointed expression on Liu Fugui's face, which made Tan Mujiang and Xiao Minghu even more confused.

The next afternoon, someone from the government office came and took the village chief away directly.

This caused the entire Yingshan Village to explode.

Especially people with the surnames Zhou, Zhao and Liu were particularly excited.

The village chief has committed a crime, and Yingshan Village is likely to welcome a new village chief.

These three surnames are common in Yingshan Village, and the village chief is likely to come from these three surnames.

Especially those with the surname Zhou, who have more or less enjoyed special protection over the years. If the position of village chief fell to the other two surnames, they would have no choice but to live in disgrace.

Especially the village chief’s second brother, Zhou Erbao, whose son is still in jail.

They took this opportunity to incite the Zhou clan members to do everything they could to suppress the other two surnames.

Then he used his connections to push forward a village chief named Zhou.

This statement was indeed strongly supported by the Zhou clan.

The Zhou clan leader gathered all the Zhou clan members together to discuss a feasible solution.

By electing a village chief named Zhou, they suddenly had a fixed candidate, but they had no idea how to get the approval of the higher-ups.

The silence made the patriarch a little disappointed, so he picked up his walking stick and hit the ground hard a few times.

"Aren't you all usually quite talkative? Now your mouths are sealed."

Zhou Ming'an is considered a prominent figure in the Zhou family, but his reputation is not very good. He is nominated this time, but not many people support him.

Seeing that everyone was silent, he rolled his eyes and came up with a plan.

"Chief, I have a suggestion."

The patriarch glanced at him and realized that this man was a weird person, so he closed his eyelids slightly.

"You said."

Zhou Mingan coughed lightly.

"This time we are not only electing the village chief, but also the face of our Zhou family, so we have to be sure. I propose that whoever's method can outperform the other two families should be elected as the village chief by the Zhou family."

Two candidates who had been nominated by the patriarch were somewhat unhappy.

Among them was Zhang Pozi’s husband, Zhou Daxiong.

Zhou Mingan has always been a person who will not do anything without benefits. Now that he has made this request in public, he probably has already made up his mind.

When Zhou Erbao heard this, there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

He doesn't care who among the Zhou people becomes the village chief, since it won't be his turn anyway.

What he is most concerned about now is whether his son Zhou Suo can make use of this relationship.

He said hurriedly: "I am the first to agree with this. The person who becomes the village chief must have some ability."

Then he glanced at Zhou Mingan.

"Nephew, are you related?"

Zhou Mingan nodded.

"My wife's family has a lot of influence with the county magistrate. As long as I can help, this will most likely be accomplished."

The eyes of the clan leader and Zhou Erbao both lit up.

"How's the relationship?"

Zhou Mingan sniffed complacently.

"Let me tell you this, my wife's cousin's daughter is pregnant. As long as she gives birth to a son, she can be the head of the county magistrate's backyard."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect Zhou Mingan to have such powerful connections.

Zhou Erbao was overjoyed and asked a few more questions in detail.

Zhou Ming'an was spitting with pride, praising his niece, whom he had never met, to the skies.

He just wanted to assure everyone that no matter what his niece said, the county magistrate would not dare to say anything against it.

When everyone heard this, they thought that with Zhou Mingan's connections, no one could compete with him.

In addition, Zhou Erbao was trying hard to instigate the situation.

Everyone stopped thinking about fighting over it.

Rather than giving the position of village chief to other families, it is better to give it to Zhou Mingan.

After the meeting, Zhou Erbao specially called Zhou Mingan to his home and treated him to good wine and food.

Zhou Mingan also understood Zhou Erbao's thoughts, and he patted his chest and promised that he would bring his son back safely.

On the other side, the Zhao family was also holding a secret meeting.

The purpose is also to get the title of village chief.

Naturally, the Liu family was not willing to be outdone.

The patriarch gathered everyone together and discussed for a long time, but still could not decide on a suitable candidate.

After dinner, Liu Siyu was invited to the clan leader’s house.
