Hu Zi was confused. He followed Chen Yuan's gaze but saw nothing.

After a while, Chen Yuan picked up his chopsticks again and continued eating.

Hu Zi frowned and asked in confusion: "Brother Yuan, what did you mean just now?"

Chen Yuan sighed helplessly and said with a smile: "Hu Zi, do you think I should praise you for being smart or stupid?"

Sun Weiwei laughed heartily at the two men's amusement. "Huzi, what your brother Yuan said about there being someone outside the window just now was all a lie."

Chen Yuan went straight up to Sun Weiwei and kissed her, "You're worthy of being my wife, you're so smart!"

Sun Weiwei's face flushed red, she pinched Chen Yuan lightly, and muttered softly, "There's someone else here!"

Hu Zi was so angry that he gritted his teeth. It would be fine if he said he was not smart, he was indeed not very smart, but why did she kiss him in front of him?

"Oh, oh! Brother Yuan, you bully me! Bully me because my wife is not around!"

Chen Yuan spread his hands and said with a smile: "That can't be helped, we have the conditions."

Hu Zi snorted angrily and quickly changed the subject.

"Brother Yuan, who do you think the person outside was just now?"

Before Chen Yuan could answer, Sun Weiwei said, "Is there even any need to ask? It must be someone from the Chen family!"

Chen Yuan used the same trick again and kissed Sun Weiwei again.

"My wife is so smart, she must be rewarded!"

Hu Zi stood up immediately, "Wow...! I'm so angry!"

"Why did Su Lao and Yi Yi go to the county today? Oh my!"

Chen Yuan and Sun Weiwei laughed so hard that they fell over. Who knew this tiger was so well-prepared? He was fooled by the slightest provocation.

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble and get down to business."

Hu Zi then sat back down again and said, "Brother Yuan, will your idea work? The vote is the day after tomorrow!"

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows and said confidently, "It's easy!"

……

As Chen Yuan guessed, Chen Guangtao was sent to eavesdrop again.

He ran home in a hurry and ate a bowl of rice with lard residue before he was willing to speak.

"When I went there, Uncle Huzi and Second Uncle were discussing our family's gift-giving plan!"

"Then, I heard my second uncle say that if he went to the commune to find the secretary, the matter would definitely be settled. Not to mention the position of village chief, even a commune cadre could be his!"

Chen Guangtao learned every word and told Chen Yuan's "plan" in its entirety.

Zhang Guixiang spat on the ground. "That little bastard has really grown cocky! He even dares to dream of becoming a commune official!"

"You're really sleeping and daydreaming in broad daylight!"

Chen Shan was a little anxious, "Grandma, do you think Chen Yuan will succeed in this?"

Zhang Guixiang waved her hands and soothed him, "It's up to Chen Yuan to find connections. Our family isn't much different!"

"Let's also give some gifts to the commune secretary!"

Chen Shan said with some embarrassment: "Grandma, where is our family with all the money left? I spent all the ten dollars you gave me yesterday."

Zhang Guixiang was also worried, wondering why she didn’t take two more small yellow croakers back then!

"Don't worry, let grandma think of a solution."

After a long while, Zhang Guixiang slowly turned her gaze to Li Mengyao.

"Old man, when you came to the countryside from the city, didn't you bring any money with you? Now that our family is in trouble, you can't hide it!"

Li Mengyao was suddenly called out and swallowed nervously, "Grandma, how dare I! When I was at the educated youth camp, I spent money lavishly without restraint and had already spent all the money I brought with me."

Li Mengyao didn't dare to tell the truth. In fact, she had secretly hidden twenty yuan, which was all the belongings she brought from the city.

Zhang Guixiang looked at Li Mengyao suspiciously, she knew that this little slut was the best at lying.

"Is it true or false?"

Li Mengyao quickly waved her hands, "Of course...it's really gone!"

Chen Shan has slept with Li Mengyao for so long, how could he not know her character? This bitch must have some private money!

Thinking of this, Chen Shan slapped Li Mengyao without hesitation and said viciously: "You bitch, you've even learned to lie to me!"

"I'm telling you, your money belongs to me. If you dare to hide it, you're just trying to seduce someone!"

"I'm down and out now, you wait for me to make a comeback! Damn it, I'll divorce you first and get someone as pretty as Sun Weiwei!"

The slap was so powerful that blood came out from the corner of Li Mengyao's mouth and her face was swollen.

She looked at Chen Shan in disbelief. She didn't expect that in Chen Shan's eyes, she was not even as good as that bitch Sun Weiwei!

"Even if you want to kill me today, I don't have any money! Hit me in the stomach if you dare! Come on!"

Li Mengyao completely exploded and bit Chen Shan's arm without any hesitation until she tasted blood in her mouth, then she let go.

Zhang Guixiang was afraid that if they continued to fight, her precious great-grandson would really die, so she quickly scolded the two of them.

"That's enough! Cry, cry, cry! You just cry! You're going to tear our family apart!"

"I still have the coffin book here. Go to the county tomorrow and buy some goodies for the secretary!"

……

The next day, Xu Guoqiang announced the list of candidates before going to work.

"Chen Yuan, Chen Shan, Li Goudan, Zhou Ganmei!"

As soon as the list came out, the village committee was in an uproar.

"What? Why is Chen Shan even on the list of candidates?"

"I'm the first one who's not convinced! Did you all accept Chen Shan's gifts?"

"Oh, you can't say that. If you don't want something that's right in front of you, you're a fool. Besides, he just took it without saying a word. We don't know what to do with it!"

"Yeah, yeah, we were confused too. He came in right after opening the door and gave us two peach cakes. Oh, they were delicious!"

"This is a great gift! Zhang Guixiang scolded me so much last time, so I wanted to give it to her as an apology!"

"..."

All of a sudden, all the families who had accepted things from Zhang Guixiang before reacted and distanced themselves from her. Only a few families silently supported Chen Shan.

Zhang Guixiang and Chen Shan's faces turned black as they listened, but they were unable to protest.

Things like gift-giving are easy to deal with in private, but if they are brought out in the open, then things will get serious.

Zhang Guixiang could only hold her breath inwardly, muttering to herself while weeding: "Damn little bastard, just like your damn mother, he's no good!"

"All of you die, all of you die!"

"When my grandson comes back from the county, we won't care about him being the village chief anymore. We'll just be commune cadres!"

Everyone who was assigned to weed with Zhang Guixiang was stunned. A 70-year-old woman, hunched over, was walking briskly in the field. You couldn't tell she was an old woman at all!
