When Chen Chu came out of the private room, he didn't know how Shao Xiaodong and those two girls had been having sex. When he came out, he saw that Long Qi had also gotten off that woman.
The woman seemed to have only half a life left, moaning softly, her lower body sticky, and she kept whispering "I want it, I want it."
Long Qi, dressed in clothes, possessed dark, muscular physiques that were many times stronger than his own.
And its muscles were so dark they looked like blocks of iron; you probably couldn't even pinch them.
Chen Chu wondered to himself, "Is that the result of practicing Muay Thai?" Yesterday, Long Qi had told him a lot, mostly about practicing Muay Thai, such as kicking oak trees from a young age and having various parts of the body strike the oak trees. In short, it was very similar to a type of martial art called Xiuquan in Chinese martial arts.
The purpose of Xiuquan (秀拳) is to continuously strike various parts of the body with a wooden stick every day, so that the muscles can become tough and the bones can withstand the blows.
When facing an enemy, one is not afraid of their attacks, and one's own punches and kicks can fracture bones...
At this moment, Chen Chu knocked on Yan Zi's door. The kid was still playing around. Chen Chu then took out a thousand yuan and said, "It's not much money. I'll give each of these girls two hundred later..."
Yan Zi smiled and said, "Brother Chu, no need. These girls were all brought by Brother Dong. They're free, you can play with them for free..."
Chen Chu smiled and said, "You can't just play around for free. No job is easy. If these girls' families were well-off, they wouldn't be doing this. We should treat these girls better in the future. We really gave them a hard time today..."
Chen Chu was relieved about the money. At this moment, Long Qi finished dressing, and the two went out.
Long Qi then said, "Brother, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. Thank you for your hospitality these past two days."
Chen Chu laughed heartily, "Brother Long Qi, you're too kind. I... I'm just offering this as a token of my appreciation..."
Long Qi then said he was going to buy a cell phone so that it would be easier to contact Chen Chu afterward.
The two then said goodbye, and Chen Chu took a taxi back to the county, retrieved his motorcycle, and headed home.
...
Nothing much happened in the village that day. When Chen Chu arrived, Liu Bingbing's job was to falsify the accounts, doing this and that, basically making the year's food and drink expenses seem legitimate. Xu Guozhong and Liu Haiyan were also making up these things all day long.
Village chief Zhang Cai smiled and patted Chen Chu on the shoulder, saying, "Young man, you have a bright future. You're the acting deputy village chief now, but in a few years you'll be the official village chief..."
Chen Chu naturally flattered him: "Haha, village chief, by the time I become village chief, you'll be a township head or a town head, right..."
"Haha! You little rascal, you're just talking nonsense..." Zhang Cai said this, but he was secretly pleased. Who doesn't like to hear nice things? Everyone likes to be flattered...
When Chen Chu took over as deputy village chief, the first person to object was Xu Guozhong, who even complained to the township government.
They said Chen Chu, a little kid, could become the deputy village chief? They even said he gave gifts to the higher-ups, and his family's three brick houses were built immediately, and he even became the deputy village chief—not even a temporary one.
Chen Chu had only been in office for less than a day when Zhang Cai's head was already spinning, and he received a call from the township head.
"Zhang Cai, this is ridiculous! How can you make a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy a cadre? ...Even if he's capable, it doesn't matter. We should follow seniority. This is just absurd…"
Zhang Cai understood that the main problem lay with Xu Guozhong; if that kid kept causing trouble, no one could stand it.
Just then, something really happened. While everyone was harvesting the crops, Wang Xiaoyan stole corn from the home of Xu Guangkuan, the militia company commander.
Their two houses are next to each other, and whoever's land is next to Wang Xiaoyan's is usually doomed.
Xu Guangkuan also felt that the corn in the field was missing. He wanted to ask Wang Xiaoyan, but he was too embarrassed to do so, considering his advanced age.
It just so happened that Xu Guangkuan was guarding the field that night when he heard a rustling sound from his own cornfield. He thought someone was having an affair in the furrow of his field! It was already autumn, and the corn leaves had all turned yellow. They weren't afraid of the dampness on the ground. They were even using the corn leaves as a mat without worrying about getting their buttocks scratched by the dry corn leaves.
It's no longer summer, when the grass and leaves are soft and green. Now, everything is desolate, the veins of plants are dry and withered, and they are incredibly hard...
Unexpectedly, Xu Guangkuan caught Wang Xiaoyan stealing his corn. Wang Xiaoyan immediately threw the corn cob he was holding far away, denying everything.
If you ask how much money a few ears of corn could be, just admit it. We're all from the same village, so we can't do anything to you. It's not a crime, so we'll just say a few words and that's it.
However, Wang Xiaoyan not only denied stealing, but also said that Xu Guangkuan framed him.
Xu Guangkuan was so angry that he kicked Wang Xiaoyan in the butt, and that's when the trouble started.
Wang Xiaoyan then lay on the ground, pretending to be dying and refusing to get up, claiming that his bones were broken and insisting that Xu Guangkuan take him to the hospital for a checkup.
Xu Guangkuan was stunned. How much would it cost to go to the hospital? Just a Western-style T-shirt would cost two or three hundred yuan.
He realized that Wang Xiaoyan was trying to extort money from him.
...
The next day, Wang Xiaoyan moved into Xu Guangkuan's house. He insisted on eating well, with wine and dishes, otherwise he would complain about going to the hospital, calling the police station, and having a headache.
Moreover, they had their eyes on the old hen that lays eggs at Xu Guangkuan's house, and they couldn't resist eating it.
Left with no other choice, Xu Guangkuan made a tough decision and slaughtered the old hen that was laying eggs, giving the meat to Wang Xiaoyan to eat.
...
Zhang Cai had no choice but to go twice. Wang Xiaoyan would get dizzy as soon as he saw Zhang Cai and would lie on the kang (heated brick bed) and refuse to get up... Zhang Cai sighed and also complained about Xu Guangkuan. He knew better than to offend someone like Xu Guangkuan. It was just a matter of stealing some corn. He could have just pretended not to see it...
However, things had already come to this, and it was too late to say anything else. Xu Guozhong was still making a fuss about wanting the position of deputy village chief.
Zhang Cai's head was buzzing. He thought to himself, "Damn it, Wang Xiaoyan and Xu Guozhong are both my living fathers. And that damn Lao Wai is coming back soon too. If Lao Wai comes back, he won't be any weaker than Wang Xiaoyan..."
He couldn't help but look at Chen Chu, then at Xu Guozhong, and suddenly burst into laughter.
The two men were taken aback. Zhang Cai said, "Well then, Lao Xu and Chen Chu, you're both candidates for deputy village chief. Um... nothing else matters. To be the deputy village chief, you have to prove your ability! Don't talk about seniority. Ma Xiaohe's grandfather is old, over eighty, almost ninety. Can he be the deputy village chief? He was the first old man to come to our Xiaoyangshu Village. If we're talking about seniority, he's the most senior..."
Xu Guozhong was speechless, then grinned and said, "Village chief, I used to be the deputy village chief..."
Zhang Caiyi said, "No need to talk about that, it depends on ability!"
"Ability? I have ability, of course. I can drink two bottles of Gujing Gongjiu by myself. Every time I accompany someone for drinks, I, Old Xu, always end up drinking myself to death..." Xu Guozhong patted his chest repeatedly.
Zhang Cai couldn't help but grin, thinking to himself, "That's what you call ability? You've ruined quite a few things."
Zhang Cai shook his head: "It's useless to talk about that. You've all seen it. If you want to be the deputy village chief, you have to prove your ability. Here's what we'll do: Wang Xiaoyan is currently staying at the militia company commander Xu Guangkuan's house! This old scoundrel is untouchable. Old Xu, didn't you say you're capable? If you can persuade Wang Xiaoyan to go home and stop extorting Xu Guangkuan, the deputy village chief position will be yours. That will prove you're capable. The same goes for Chen Chu. If Chen Chu can subdue Wang Xiaoyan, the deputy village chief position will be his too. It doesn't matter much age. Um... Zhou Yu was a Grand Commander when he was twelve or thirteen, and Jiang Ziya didn't achieve enlightenment until he was over seventy..."
Xu Guozhong let out a breath, thought for a moment, and said, "Village chief, okay! Then, I, I, I'll go first..."
Zhang Cai chuckled to himself, thinking, "Xu Guozhong, you really don't know your place. You know what kind of person Wang Xiaoyan is. He wouldn't even give me face. Do you think you can get away with it? Perfect, let him get a taste of his own medicine..."
Chen Chu decided to stay in the village since he had nothing else to do, while Xu Guozhong carried his tea mug to Wang Xiaoyan's house.
Xu Guozhong was secretly delighted, thinking that as long as he got rid of Wang Xiaoyan, he would be the deputy village chief! He would be reinstated and continue to be arrogant and powerful. He strode around as if he were already the deputy village chief.
As soon as she arrived at Xu Guangkuan's yard, she called out, "Guangkuan, is Guangkuan home? I've come to see you..."
Xu Guangkuan and his wife were both at home. They had a daughter who was only twelve or thirteen years old, and they were really worried about leaving her at home alone, so the two of them went to work in the fields.
Thinking to myself, that Wang Xiaoyan is a lecherous old man, I hope he doesn't ruin his own daughter. He already stayed at his house for one night yesterday, and his eyes kept glancing at his wife and daughter. That old lecher even said, intentionally or unintentionally, that it would be fine if Xu Guangkuan's wife slept with him for one night...
Xu Guangkuan was so angry he wanted to kill him.
Xu Guangkuan's wife didn't frown, while Wang Xiaoyan went straight for his family's goose, insisting on having goose meat for lunch...
Xu Guangkuan sighed repeatedly.
"Old Xu, you've arrived..."
Xu Guozhong chuckled: "Guangkuan, don't be so sullen, you're a grown man. Why are you always looking down like a coward? Come on, it's just Wang Xiaoyan, I'll go talk to him..."
Wang Xiaoyan, who was lying in the house humming a little tune, immediately lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) and started humming again when he saw someone coming.
"Ouch... my back... my legs... my head... it hurts so much... ouch ouch ouch..."
Wang Xiaoyan, the martial artist, kept yelling about his head and buttocks, as if he wasn't going to stop yet.
Xu Guozhong brought in tea, took a sip, and coughed. "Cough cough... cough cough!" Xu Guozhong glanced at Wang Xiaoyan and felt uneasy. He thought to himself, "Damn it, isn't this obviously an attempt to extort money? What the hell are you doing?!"
Wang Xiaoyan grumbled and glanced at Xu Guozhong, then pouted and said, "Xu Guozhong, what are you doing here? Did the 20,000 bricks that the village promised to give my family for building a house arrive?"
"Hehe... You can still stand up to get it when it arrives?" Xu Guozhong sat down on the kang (heated brick bed) and put down his teacup.
Wang Xiaoyan snorted, his eyes darting around. He realized that if he moved, he would be cured, and the village's promise of 20,000 bricks was simply a pipe dream.
"Cough cough... Old Wang, that's enough!" Xu Guozhong took a few sips of water, looked at Wang Xiaoyan and said, "We all live in the same village. Xu Guangkuan didn't do anything to you, he just kicked you in the butt. And you! You've been staying at his place all day, eaten, drunk, and even rubbed your face against his egg-laying hen. That's enough, go home and get back to work..."
"What?" Wang Xiaoyan rolled his eyes, looked at Xu Guangkuan and his wife standing at the door, then at Xu Guozhong sitting next to them, and said, "Pah!"
A glob of yellow, sticky phlegm flew out and landed right on Xu Guozhong's face.
"Wang Xiaoyan! You son of a bitch! Damn it!" Xu Guozhong nearly jumped up, grabbed a newspaper to wipe his face, and angrily cursed, "Wang Xiaoyan, you're just trying to extort money from Xu Guangkuan! You're a shameless scoundrel! Get out of there right now!"
