When Zhou Ganmei saw this situation, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

He smiled and walked over to Zhao Qingjian, "Secretary Zhao, there must be some misunderstanding here, right?"

"I didn't do anything! You saw me on election day. I never left the village committee!"

Zhao Qingjian nodded gently. "That's what happened, but since we received the report, we have to come down to investigate."

Zhou Ganmei glanced at everyone in the crowd, and did not see Zhou Xiongfeng in the front. He immediately understood.

"It was Zhou Xiongfeng who reported this to you, right?"

"Secretary Zhao, I haven't reported this to you yet!"

"Zhou Xiongfeng secretly gave the village pigs laxatives, almost rendering the sow infertile!"

Zhao Qingjian frowned. He obviously didn't expect such a thing to happen.

So he turned and looked at the villagers.

"Is what Comrade Zhou Ganmei just said true?"

Everyone looked at each other, as if they were considering whether to tell the truth.

"Secretary Zhao, this is exactly what happened. Zhou Xiongfeng tried to frame Chen Yuan that day, but Chen Yuan found out."

"Yes, we can all testify that it was Zhou Xiongfeng who drugged the sow."

"Secretary Zhao, are you here to investigate Chen Yuan?"

"Secretary Zhao, after you left that day, Chen Yuan and Chen Donggen performed a blood test, but the two drops of blood in the water didn't mix!"

"Yes, Chen Yuan is not Chen Donggen's son at all, so what's the point of being filial?"

"Who said it wasn't? If they were nice to Chen Yuan, it would be fine, just like that, not their real relatives. If it were me, I would wish them dead sooner rather than later!"

"..."

Zhao Qingjian frowned even deeper. He didn't expect that he had misunderstood Chen Yuan.

However, Chen Yuan was indeed controversial that day, and Zhou Ganmei was the most suitable candidate.

He cleared his throat. "In that case, I roughly understand."

"Comrade Zhou Xiongfeng, how could you lie?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiongfeng stood out from the crowd.

"Secretary Zhao, you can't say that! I didn't tell any lies!"

"Zhou Ganmei ordered all of this!"

"If he hadn't ordered me to do this, how could I have done these bad things?"

Zhou Ganmei's hands were shaking with anger. She pointed at Zhou Xiongfeng and cursed, "Zhou Xiongfeng, you're a worthless elder, aren't you?"

"I've seen through you. You just feel revengeful because I didn't agree to let you be the deputy village chief, so you're trying to pick on me, right?"

Zhou Xiongfeng was speechless. He did hold a grudge against Zhou Ganmei because of this incident.

However, Zhou Xiongfeng cannot show it at this time, otherwise all his efforts will be in vain.

"Bah! You were the one who ordered me to do this!"

"I did all the dirty work for you, and this is how you repay me?"

"You actually let your dear uncle sweep the pigpen!"

Zhao Qingjian was annoyed by the quarrel between the two and quickly waved his hand to signal them to stop.

"enough!"

"Has the atmosphere in your village always been like this?"

"For the position of village chief, you fought to the death, getting yourself bruised and bloodied?"

"The village chief is serving the people! He's not there for you to fight against!"

Zhao Qingjian was very angry, and his chest was heaving violently.

Chen Yuan walked forward slowly and whispered, "Secretary Zhao, please don't be too angry."

"This is a problem that we in Chenjia Village have not handled properly."

After being comforted by Chen Yuan, Zhao Qingjian felt much better.

"Hey……"

"Zhou Ganmei, did you instruct Zhou Xiongfeng?"

Before Zhou Ganmei could speak, his mother Liu Yulan stood up.

"Secretary Zhao, our family didn't do those things!"

"Zhou Xiongfeng gave us ten eggs, which my eldest daughter-in-law ate during her confinement period."

As soon as Liu Yulan said this, Qian Yue'e rushed over and said, "Liu Yulan, I'm going to tear your mouth apart!"

"You eat my eggs and you dare to destroy my rice bowl. Are you still human?"

Zhao Qingjian frowned and asked in a cold voice, "Zhou Xiongfeng, is what this comrade said true?"

Zhou Xiongfeng stammered for a long time, "I...I...we are all relatives, so what's wrong with giving each other a few eggs?"

Liu Yulan seemed to be able to finally hold her head up in public today. She had changed from her previous cowardly and bullied appearance and was trying her best to protect her son's position as the village chief.

"Bah! When giving eggs to relatives, do you have to give ten?"

"How precious is this egg?"

"I'm telling you, Zhou Xiongfeng, even if I risk my life today, I won't allow you to say a single word against my son!"

Zhou Ganmei felt a strange sense of bitterness in his heart. This was the first time his mother stood in front of him.

However, this emotion soon disappeared, as he clearly understood that all this was because he became the village chief.

Without the position of village chief, he is still an unknown villager in Chenjia Village, always living under the halo of his big brother. What a bullshit!

Zhao Qingjian was not a fool, and he understood immediately after hearing it.

"Stop arguing!"

"Zhou Xiongfeng, wouldn't it be great if you could use all these devious ideas of yours for serious matters?"

"I'm telling you, the village chief is here to serve the villagers. We're in a new society now. If anyone uses the old society's ideas to bully the people, don't blame me for parading you through the streets!"

Zhao Qingjian was really angry, and his excited voice made people's ears hurt.

Zhou Xiongfeng was so frightened that he took two steps back and couldn't utter a word.

If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have gone to look for Zhao Qingjian today. Isn't he just shooting himself in the foot?

Zhou Ganmei glared at Zhou Xiongfeng fiercely. It was all this bastard's fault. He even dared to make things difficult for him behind his back!

Then don't blame him for not considering his relatives' face!

"Secretary Zhao, I'm so sorry today. It was all a misunderstanding!"

"Thank you for the trip. Let's go inside and talk. I'll get you a glass of water!"

Zhao Qingjian waved his hand coldly and warned, "Zhou Ganmei, flies don't bite seamless eggs. This time it's because there is no evidence, but it doesn't mean you can clear your suspicion!"

"I won't drink the water. You better take care of yourself! If anyone reports you to the commune next time, I will punish them severely!"

Zhou Ganmei nodded quickly and assured, "Please rest assured, Secretary. I will definitely carry out the work in Chenjia Village seriously."

Zhao Qingjian sighed and looked at Chen Yuan.

"Good boy, I misunderstood you before and spoke harshly to you."

"However, the deeper the love, the more severe the criticism. I hope you understand this truth!"

Chen Yuan nodded gently. "Secretary Zhao, I've never given it much thought. I'm very happy to be able to contribute to Chenjia Village."

Zhao Qingjian felt that he had not made a mistake. "How about this, you come to work in the commune!"
