Xiao Linglong went to get a basin of hot water and brought a bowl of water. Xiao Fugui smiled sarcastically at his second and third brothers, picked up the bowl and rinsed his mouth, thinking about his son Xiao Dabao who made him vomit blood in anger.
I felt bad, and it was better to have a daughter. Since ancient times, it has been said that a daughter is her father's little cotton-padded jacket. In the future, the idea of favoring sons over daughters must be changed.
Xiao Fugui took out two crumpled hundred-yuan red bills from his pocket, stuffed them into his daughter Xiao Linglong's hand, patted Xiao Linglong's head, and showed his father's kindness: "Linglong, your brother is hopeless.
You have to study hard."
"Dad, brother will be back." Xiao Linglong took the money and comforted her in a low voice. She did not dare to tell her father that her eldest brother still had a hard time running away after knowing what she said about her father fainting on the ground.
She said bad things about her eldest brother in front of her father. She has been very well-behaved with her mother Tian Xiuhua since she was a child. At this time, Xiao Linglong thought of her mother and wondered if her mother and Liu Junge's family in the provincial capital were doing well.
He said that his son was hopeless, but in fact Xiao Fugui was not too worried about his son Xiao Dabao being a bad student. His son was as hard-hearted as he was when he was a child, otherwise he would not be able to become the village chief. A hard-hearted man will succeed sooner or later, or so he thought.
.
After Xiao Fugui finished washing his face, Xiao Linglong took away the washbasin and obediently went to the room to review his homework. If an eldest brother is unfilial, a daughter must not be unfilial.
Even though her father only gave her 0 yuan, which was enough for her to pay tuition fees, and her food expenses were not paid, she didn’t have to worry too much, because there was a mayor’s son in the class who had a crush on her and would stuff some bread into her drawer from time to time.
As for snacks and other delicious things, I guess saving a little on those foods can help me deal with it for a while. When dad pays his salary and pays for food, he can improve his living situation.
It doesn't matter if life is difficult, as long as you have books to read. Xiao Linglong came to her small room, sat at her desk, picked up her diary, her thoughts wandered freely, and she wrote two sentences.
Xiao Linglong wrote a few beautiful lines in her diary. One sentence is: "Mom, I miss you very much. I don't like that stepmother. How are you in a foreign country?" The other sentence is: "Mom, I am very confused.
The son of the mayor was very kind to me and made secret appointments with me several times to watch the moonlight in the woods by the river outside the school. He said he would definitely marry me in the future. Can I believe what he said?"
"Brother, has Sister-in-law He Ye returned to her parents' home again?" After his niece went back to her room to review her homework, the third brother Xiao Fuquan handed his eldest brother a Jinsheng, lit it, and asked with concern.
"Oh, yes, the little widow ran to her mother's house when she had something to do. Look, I haven't eaten meat for several days." Xiao Fugui smoked a cigarette and smiled helplessly. The wrinkles on his face piled up together, and he suddenly seemed old.
A lot.
"..." The eldest brother was so direct that he actually said that the little wife was a little widow. It seemed that the eldest brother Xiao Fugui and the little widow were not living happily. Xiao Fuquan was speechless for a moment.
"Brother, why don't you invite Hu Langzhong back to our village? You see, the villagers have opinions. They say that once Hu Langzhong leaves, the village will be mostly lonely, old people and children. People with colds, coughs, colds, etc. will have to go to the neighboring village several miles away.
It’s very inconvenient to see a doctor. Fortunately, my brother is fine today. We were very scared when he was like this. If Hu Langzhong was here..."
The second brother Xiao Furen changed the subject and took the opportunity to propose that Hu Langzhong be invited back to the village. Xiao Fugui waved his hand and interrupted him: "Don't mention Hu Langzhong. Everyone has his own ambitions, so let him go. I'm fine, and so are you.
Get some rest early. Second brother, you go find some villagers to get some local chickens. Tomorrow you and I will go to the township government to get some poverty alleviation funds. The village accounts cannot make ends meet."
"Okay, brother." The second brother Xiao Furen said yes, and the third brother Xiao Fuquan left the eldest brother's house.
Xiao Furen was angry. Many villagers were dissatisfied with the domineering behavior of village chief Xiao Fugui. Not only did his eldest brother force Liu Dekui's family to leave their hometown, he also burned down their houses. He also burned down Liu Dekui's family's house.
The house, which was a personal grudge between the village chief and Liu Dekui, was burned down and the villagers could just talk about it after dinner.
However, the village eldest brother also drove away the Hu Langzhong in the whole village, which caused a lot of complaints among the villagers. Hu Langzhong was good at medical skills and easy-going. He sometimes treated needy families and applied herbal remedies for free, so then
A good village doctor can't tolerate others. What good can such a village chief do besides hanging out with the women left behind in the village?
There is already a faint voice in the village that Xiao Fugui should be elected in the next election and Xiao Furen should be elected as the village chief. Xiao Furen is more benevolent and loyal than his elder brother, but Xiao Furen will not tell the village elder brother these words.
The eldest brother has been tempting him with the idea of promoting him to be the village security director, but he has not been promoted. How does the eldest brother know that the second brother is going to replace him as the village chief? It can't be said, it can't be said. Xiao Furen left the eldest brother's house on the first foot.
, said goodbye to his third brother, and then went to the clan leader Xiao Zhongbo's house. He wanted to tell the clan leader that his eldest brother was not in good health and the villagers had grievances. He wanted to ask for the clan clan leader's support and expressed his intention to the clan clan leader that he wanted to be the village chief.
.
The patriarch, Xiao Zhongbo, is old and has been feeling a little unwell lately. As a result, after Hu Langzhong was arbitrarily expelled from Longshang Village by the village chief Xiao Fugui, there was no place to pick up medicine for minor ailments. There was no barefoot doctor in the village, which was really inconvenient.
The patriarch Xiao Zhongbo often went to see the villagers in his neighborhood. The patriarch Xiao Zhongbo couldn't let go of his old reputation. Because of Hu Langzhong's incident, Xiao Zhongbo also had a strong opinion of the village chief Xiao Fugui.
While Xiao Zhongbo was drinking homemade herbal medicine to treat his asthma, Xiao Furen, the second brother of the village chief Xiao Fugui, caught an old hen and brought a basket of local eggs to visit the patriarch.
"Old man, are you feeling better lately?" Xiao Furen put the old hens and eggs in the main room. Xiao Zhongbo's daughter-in-law came over to say hello, poured a bowl of water for Xiao Furen, and took the chickens and eggs to the kitchen.
Xiao Zhongbo coughed a few times, motioned for Xiao Furen to sit down, and said: "Ah Ren, look at you, uncle, I've been getting sick for a long time, and I want you to keep it in mind. Just come and bring so many things, how can you let me bear it?"
."
Xiao Furen did not sit down, but came forward and patted Xiao Zhongbo's back gently, complimenting: "You can bear it, you can bear it. Old man, you are highly respected, and you should be treated with filial piety by the younger generation. It's just that I was busy talking to you a few days ago.
My eldest brother traveled all over the country and never came to visit the old man, I feel very sorry."
Xiao Zhongbo enjoyed Xiao Furen's filial piety. When Xiao Furen mentioned his eldest brother Xiao Fugui, he guessed that Xiao Furen would not suddenly visit and send old hens and free-range eggs for no reason.
He wanted to ask for help, so he asked slowly: "Oh, Ah Ren, what has your elder brother been busy with recently?"
"My eldest brother, oh, old man, I don't know if I should say something or not?" Xiao Furen stopped beating Xiao Zhongbo's back, moved a chair and sat down in front of Xiao Zhongbo, and glanced at the Eight Great King Kong guards of the clan leader at the door of the main room.
, He wanted to speak but stopped.
"Please tell me if you have anything to say." Xiao Zhongbo coughed twice, dusted his hands at the guard at the door, and the eight kings retreated outside the house.
"Old man, you need a doctor to take care of your health." Xiao Furen asked with concern.
Xiao Zhongbo vaguely guessed Xiao Furen's intentions as soon as he heard this. After being the patriarch for most of his life, how could he not hear something in Xiao Furen's words? When Xiao Furen mentioned doctors, wasn't he talking about You who was driven away by Xiao Furen's village elder brother Xiao Fugui?
It's like a doctor.
He had always had objections to Xiao Fugui using the power of the village chief to drive away Hu Langzhong. Now that Xiao Furen mentioned this, he was probably criticizing his village eldest brother.
Xiao Zhongbo pretended to be helpless and replied: "Yes, Mr. Hu is gone. It is really inconvenient for me to test medicine and see a doctor."
Xiao Furen said: "Old man, why don't you send someone to invite Mr. Hu to come back to the village?"
Xiao Zhongbo shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that none of the Hu Langs who have been here for ten or a half years will never come back to Langshang Village."
Xiao Furen wondered: "Why? Does it mean that when my eldest brother becomes the village chief, Hu Langzhong will not return to the village?"
Xiao Zhongbo sighed and said: "Ah Ren, Hu Langzhong doesn't return to the village. Your eldest brother's reason is just one of them. There is another thing you don't know."
"Ah, there's something else I don't know? Tell me, old man." Xiao Furen came forward. He didn't understand other reasons why Hu Langzhong couldn't stay in the village except that his eldest brother, who was the village chief, couldn't tolerate him.
Go down.
Xiao Zhongbo was silent for a while, and after thinking about it, he told Xiao Furen the reason, and said: "Hu Langzhong is a wandering doctor. He often treats the poor for free, and treats the rich without raising the price. He is a kind-hearted person. Your sister-in-law Xiuhua and
When the Dekui family left home and left the provincial capital, Arjun entrusted the doctor to help take care of the Dekui family's house. However, your eldest brother burned down the Dekui family's house. The doctor felt deeply guilty and was thinking about the development of the coastal areas.
I practiced medicine in the city and saved some money to go back to the village to build a house for Dekui's family. It happened that your eldest brother couldn't tolerate him either. The doctor told me what was on his mind when he said goodbye to me, and that's it."
"So it turns out that eldest brother has gone too far. Many people in the village have objections to eldest brother. I'm worried that it will be difficult for eldest brother to be the village chief." Xiao Furen turned to the topic.
Xiao Zhongbo stroked his beard out of habit, only to realize that the long beard had been cut off on the night Xiao Fugui wanted to sink Liu Dekui and Tian Xiuhua into the pond. He had no choice but to smile awkwardly: "Your eldest brother has made the public angry and disappointed. I'm afraid he can't be the village chief."
It’s been a long time.”
Xiao Furen's eyes lit up and he asked eagerly: "Old man, it is true that public anger is hard to offend. If my eldest brother cannot become the village chief, look at our Xiaojia Village, who can be the village chief?"
Xiao Zhongbo looked deep in thought, and then said: "It is natural that the village chief should be someone from Xiao's Dafang. At present, there are indeed a few enterprising young people in the Dafang of the clan. It's just that they started their own business outside and returned home.
Not many. I think, apart from your three brothers, no other family can choose anyone who can serve as the village chief to serve the people."
"Old man, to tell you the truth, my eldest brother has something wrong with his health. He suddenly fainted today. If Mr. Hu was in the village, he would have checked him out. My eldest brother really went too far in some things, as you know
"Now the villagers have a lot of opinions. For the sake of the whole village, I'm afraid the old man has to make plans in advance for the next village chief." Xiao Furen said very emotionally, as if he came specifically to ask the patriarch Xiao Zhongbo for the people's orders.
Xiao Zhongbo weighed it again and again, smiled calmly, and said: "What are you planning? Fugui is not in good health. Ah Ren, you can take over. I will just make peace with the old man in the next village election."
"Thank you very much, old man. I want to be the village chief. I promise to follow the old man's teachings and bring Longshang Village to the golden road of becoming rich and well-off."
Xiao Furen got what he wanted. He achieved his goal of visiting the clan leader Xiao Zhongbo without telling the village eldest brother. He slapped his chest and smiled sinisterly. From now on, he will be the village chief and can openly and openly covet the eldest brother Xiao Fugui's new little widow.
