Li Chengjin hurriedly stopped him and said, "Uncle Second, don't be as knowledgeable as such people. How can he spit out ivory from his dog's mouth? I really want to compete with him today. Ma Ershan, you are two years older than me. From now on, I will call you second brother. I hope you can respect my younger brother. Let's compete fairly. Please don't say any more hurtful words. Let's wait for the voting results together. It's useless to say more."

"Okay, compete with me, right?" Ma Ershan smiled disdainfully and said, "To be honest, you are really not worthy, but! Since you call me second brother, I will treat you as a brother, let's do this! If your votes are more than me, I will give you a gift of 1,000 yuan. On the contrary, if my votes are more than you, you will give me a gift of 1,000 yuan. Do you dare to gamble?"

Li Chengjin was a little hesitant when he heard this and couldn't bear the thousand dollars.

Li Ergui hurriedly said, "Cheng Jin, bet with him, we will win." At this point, he whispered to the villagers: "The old and young men all listened. Ma Ershan said that if the village chief was not elected, he would give us Li Chengjin a thousand yuan. If he didn't keep his word, he would be no one."

"Hey hey! How do you talk?" Ma Ershan hurriedly said, "Don't just talk unilaterally! If I become the village chief, Li Chengjin would give me one thousand yuan! The old and young men heard it clearly."

Everyone gathered around with a burst of noise.

At this time, the village committee director Zhang Jinyu, the village committee secretary Zhao Lianggui and the accountant Ma Sanchun rode a motorcycle in the door.

Zhang Jinyu parked the motorcycle and said aloud: "What's the noise? So quiet, come and move a few tables out, hurry up." After speaking, he opened the door of the village committee office and walked in.

Several young men followed in one after another, and soon moved out three tables and three chairs and placed them in front of the window.

Zhang Jinyu took three paper boxes with names written on them, a stack of white paper strips, and a handful of sharpened pencils, and placed them on three tables.

Zhao Lianggui, Zhang Jinyu, and Ma Sanchun each guarded a table and sat on a chair.

Ma Sanchun said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet. Listen to me, there are three candidates in this election. The first is Liu Changfu, the second is Ma Ershan, and the third is Li Chengjin. There are 583 households in our village, and each household can only issue one representative to vote. Write your own name on the note. Whoever you want to elect, you can throw the note into whose carton. Each household has one vote. Don't vote more. If you don't come to vote on your own initiative, you will be treated as abstention. Okay, start voting now, pay attention to order and not crowded."

As soon as the words were finished, the villagers rushed forward, rushing to hold pens and paper, laughing and giggling.

Ma Dashan was the hardest crowded and was the first to write his name and threw it into his younger brother's ballot box.

Li Ergui also rushed forward and voted for his nephew.

Li Chengjin couldn't help but feel a little nervous and kept walking in the yard. It doesn't matter whether the village chief does it or not. What he is worried about is the thousand dollars.

About an hour later, all the villagers finished their votes and surrounded the table and waited for the results.

Three village committee leaders, one carton, poured the ballots on the table and counted them carefully twice.

Ma Sanchun said loudly: "Everyone, calm down, now I will announce the voting results, listen."

Li Chengjin was very nervous and looked at Ma Sanchun without blinking, looking forward to the result.

Ma Sanchun paused for a moment and continued: "Liu Changfu's 84 votes, Ma Ershan's 248 votes, and Li Chengjin's 248 votes."

The villagers immediately made a noise and asked what to do if the votes were the same.

Ma Sanchun said loudly: "Jing Yijing listened to me, Secretary Zhao and Director Zhang, who have not voted for three votes. Now let's study it and see who these three votes are for. Please wait." After speaking, the three of them talked together.

Zhang Jinyu said: "I personally think Ma Ershan has leadership skills. I wonder what the two of them think?"

Zhao Lianggui thought for a while and said, "I have a different view from you. This young man Li Chengjin is good! In order to support his uncle and sister, he treated his second uncle and even gave up the opportunity to get married and marry a wife. He is also a figure. I think he can be the village chief, you guys see!"

Ma Sanchun hurriedly said: "I have the same meaning as Secretary Zhao. Li Chengjin is educated and has a good heart. He is indeed a talent."

Zhang Jinyu said helplessly: "The minority obeys the majority, what else can I say? Then choose Li Chengjin."

Zhao Lianggui nodded and nodded.

Ma Sanchun said loudly: "Silence, and the result is coming."

The villagers suddenly became silent.

Li Chengjin and Ma Ershan were both nervous and made small moves very uncomfortable.

Ma Sanchun continued: "We have always believed that the person who can be competent for the village chief is Li Chengjin."

There was a noise in the field immediately, and the villagers who supported Li Chengjin were laughing and laughing.

With a plop, Ma Ershan fainted on the ground.

Ma Dashan hurried forward and helped him up and shouted.

At this time, an old lady in her sixties ran into the yard in panic and shouted: "Ma Dashan, Ma Dashan, your wife is lying on the mountain bag at the east end of the village. She is almost exhausted, Ma Dashan..."

Ma Dashan supported Ma Ershan and turned around and said, "I don't have much time to care about her, let her die! I haven't been home all night, so who knows where she has gone."

Li Chengjin heard it clearly. When she thought of her date with Liu Guizhi last night, she didn't go back all night. She felt a little sad. She ran out of the hospital and ran to the east end of the village in one breath. From afar, she saw Liu Guizhi lying motionlessly on the mountain bag. He ran up and helped her up, calling. Looking at her bruised face, she couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy. She felt that she was having a high fever, and she was very hot, so she couldn't wake her up. She hurriedly picked her up and ran back to the village, ran directly into the neighbor's house, shouting: "Tiezhu, hurry up and start the car, go to the township hospital, hurry up..."

Liu Tiezhu came out of the house and said, "What's wrong? I'm so anxious. Who are you holding?"

Li Chengjin said anxiously: "Don't worry about who it is, start the car quickly." As he said that, he put Liu Guizhi on the agricultural tricycle, then got on the car and held her in front of his arms.

Liu Tiezhu went in and looked at it, saying, "Isn't this Ma Dashan's wife? Why are you carrying it for?"

Li Chengjin said anxiously: "I beg you, saving people is important, why are you talking so much nonsense!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore. It seems that you are anxious, it seems like your wife." Liu Tiezhu said, picked up the shaking rod, shook the tricycle, got in the car and drove out of the hospital, and headed straight to Shuiquan Township Hospital.

Ma Dashan and a few men hurriedly carried Ma Ershan home.

Ma Ershan's wife Zhu Yan was startled and hurriedly opened the door and said, "What's wrong? Why did you carry it back?"

As soon as he entered the door, Ma Ershan stepped down and smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm afraid that Li Chengjin and the other two of them would say that I can't get out of Taiwan. Thank you, thank you everyone."

Several men sneered at it and left unhappily.

Ma Dashan smiled and said, "You are really, you scared me. Why are you pretending to be dizzy if you are fine!"

"Pretty! You're really going to die, I'm scared." Zhu Yan also laughed and scolded: "What's wrong? Didn't you choose?"

Ma Ershan sighed and said, "It's so embarrassing. I actually lost to that boy. I can't swallow this tone!"

Ma Dashan said: "What can't be swallowed? Isn't it just a little shitty official with a sesame seed? What's so amazing? I can't even do it."

Ma Ershan said: "What do you know? That's called power. All rights are equal. At that time, our family will definitely be happy. Oh, by the way, I heard what happened to my sister-in-law just now. Go and have a look. After all, it's your wife. How can you not take it seriously!"

Ma Dashan said, "What's wrong? I was angry with me yesterday and didn't go home all night. I wanted me to beg her, but there was no door. I went to play mahjong." After speaking, I went out.

"Brother, go and see her! Who will you go if you don't go? Brother..." Ma Ershan shouted anxiously.

Ma Dashantou left without looking back.

Ma Ershan sighed and said, "It's really impossible to get angry with him. Zhu Yan, go to the east end of the village to have someone to take care of him! Don't let others laugh at us."

Zhu Yan responded and hurried out.

Ma Ershan lay on the kang and tossed and turned, feeling suffocating in his heart. He got up and said to himself, "Go and get two watermelons to calm down." He went downstairs and went out.
