Chapter 1075 - Chapter 1075 1075 New village chief

Chapter 1075: 1075 New village chief Chapter 1075: 1075 New village chief Xiao Yishan left with a cold expression on his face, without uttering a word.

Xiao Yuchuan and Xiao Qinghe watched his heavy silhouette, knowing that the second brother would at least consider the matter.

“Third brother, you’ve taken care of me during this time, it’s been tough on you,” Xiao Qinghe said as he watched his third brother carrying a bucket with freshly washed clothing, some of which were his.

The third brother had been looking after his daily life these days, and Qinghe was not ungrateful; he still felt thankful in his heart.

Xiao Yuchuan placed the bucket under the clothing bamboo pole in the yard and spread the wet clothing piece by piece on the rack.

After hanging up his and his fourth brother’s clothing, there were still his wife’s bellyband and underpants left to hang.

He picked them up, feeling that he didn’t like them to be hung out in the yard where the fourth brother could see, as he disliked other men seeing his wife’s personal clothing, even if that man was his fourth brother.

Therefore, he hung his wife’s bellyband and underpants underneath his own wet clothes, so although they would dry a bit slower, they were not visible.

After hanging the clothes, Xiao Yuchuan, carrying the empty bucket, passed by Xiao Qinghe and said, “Fourth brother, don’t always stay cooped up in your room, come out and get some more sun.”

“Mhm,” Qinghe nodded slightly.

“Oh, right.” Xiao Yuchuan added, “When I went out to wash clothes just now, I saw the officials had just arrived in our village, asking me for directions.

They said they were delivering documents to the Hua Family’s Hua Changxu, the new village chief is an old man from Auntie Hua’s family.”

Xiao Qinghe was a bit surprised, “Wasn’t it said that Li Gui’s father, Li Song, and Old Zhang had both bribed the county magistrate with silver taels, how come neither was selected?”

“The county magistrate embezzled a lot of money, and after being investigated from above, he was taken into custody a couple of days ago.

The officials said that the new county magistrate, Zheng Dejun, has taken office, and County Magistrate Zheng, having heard about Old Zhang and Li Song bribing the former county magistrate, conducted an investigation.

He found that Hua Changxu had a good reputation for integrity and was respected and esteemed in Wushan Village.

Therefore, Zheng appointed Hua Changxu as the new village chief of our village.

The Zhang and Li Families’ bribes were in vain; the Li Family spent forty taels, and Old Zhang spent thirty taels.

The former county magistrate ended up in prison, and all his assets were confiscated, so there’s no chance of getting the money back.

At this critical juncture, many who sought favors from the former magistrate now face nothing but verbal promises, and there are many families in despair.”

“That’s great,” Qinghe raised the corner of his lips slightly, “Both the Zhang and Li Families have had feuds with our house, and now both failed to become the village chief and lost a lot of money, it’s really satisfying.”

“Indeed.

Today we’ll stew a wild chicken to celebrate,” Xiao Yuchuan said with a smile on his face, then shouted into the room, “Dear, what would you like to eat tonight?”

“Anything.” Su Qingyue’s voice came from the room.

Xiao Yuchuan put the wooden bucket back in the kitchen and went into the room to tell Su Qingyue about the new village chief, only to find that she had overheard their conversation in the yard.

“With Hua Changxu as the new village chief, I guess many families are visiting the Hua Family in the village, aren’t they?” Su Qingyue asked.

“Yes,” Xiao Yuchuan thought for a moment and said, “The villagers have always assumed that one of the Zhang and Li Families would become the new village chief, and many had previously visited the two families, offering some benefits.

Now that Hua Changxu has become the village chief, I heard that quite a few families have gone to the Zhang and Li Families’ homes to cause a scene, so it’s quite lively at their places now.”

“People are just like that,” Su Qingyue sighed.

“When they need you, they flatter and fawn, but when they don’t, they treat you like you’re nothing.

As long as neither family from Zhang and Li becomes the new village chief, it really is good news for our house.”
