Chapter 102 Unreasonable! (one more)
Village head Lu Li also passed the imperial examination several times when he was young, but he stopped at Tongsheng. He failed to pass the exam until he was [-] years old, so he gave up. After finding a relationship and becoming the village head, he devoted himself to serving the villagers.Although these years have occasionally used this position to obtain some benefits, but they are small troubles, and within the acceptance of the villagers, they will still act impartially in most cases, so they have a good reputation in the village.

For Yuan Suijun and Zhang Chengwang, two people who were admitted to the scholar at a young age, Lu Li still admires them a lot, and he is willing to make things easier for them in small things.As for what other people call noble, it is just a small problem in his eyes.Young people who have become talents at a young age are more or less arrogant.

Compared with Yuan Suijun, Zhang Chengwang visited less frequently.

The village head specially took out the good tea that he was usually reluctant to brew, and made him a cup.

"Rare guest, come, drink some tea to moisten your throat."

Zhang Chengwang took a sip and quickly put it down.He doesn't have high requirements for food, but he is relatively picky about tea.The tea tasted old tea when he drank it, which made it difficult for him to swallow it.

Anyway, he is also the village head, so he actually entertained him with this.You must know that he is now a scholar, but he didn't entertain him with some decent tea.It is impossible that when Yuan Suijun came, he would treat him with this kind of tea.

Zhang Chengwang only felt that the other party treated him differently on purpose, and his uncomfortable emotions continued to spread.He didn't say why he came right away, but just chatted with the village head, which made the village head confused, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

After talking for almost a stick of incense, Zhang Cheng seemed to mention it casually, "Our village is really lively recently, and it has been a long time since I saw such a scene."

The village chief smiled, "That's right, thanks to Su Yueling building that big house, he found jobs for us villagers."

"And that pedal spinning wheel, it looks really good, I don't know how her brain came up with it." Lu Li's tone was full of admiration.

Zhang Cheng saw that there was no trace of jealousy on his face, but felt that the village head was not ordinary.

He said nonchalantly: "Yes, thanks to their husband and wife, life in the village has been much easier this year. Now the whole village is very grateful to them. If he doesn't follow the king's ambitions, even if he wants to be the village chief, it is not difficult— —”

As if realizing that he had made a slip of the tongue, he turned around.

"I was the one who was abrupt. Suijun and his family are definitely not interested in this position. I see that Suijun's health has improved a lot, and I am happy for him. Suijun will definitely have to take the exam next year."

"With his talent and learning, Juren's fame is guaranteed. With an older brother like him, even if Sui Feng has not decided what he will do in the future, he will not worry about his future."

On the one hand, he pointed out Yuan Suijun's prestige, implying that Lu Li's position as the village chief was secure because Yuan Suijun disdained it.

Immediately afterwards, he pointed out the existence of Yuan Suifeng, suggesting to the village chief that even if Yuan Suijun is not interested, what about Yuan Suifeng?
All he did was to make the village chief feel bad about the Yuan family.The Lu family itself is the biggest surname in the village, and Lu Li has been the village chief for so many years, if he wants to trip the Yuan family, it will definitely make the Yuan family suffer.

Lu Li is not a fool to have been able to hold this position for so many years, so he naturally understood what Zhang Chengwang meant.His face was slightly gloomy, Zhang Chengwang saw it, and he became happy in his heart, "I still have to study, I'll go back first, and come over to have tea with the village chief some other day."

Lu Li nodded, but didn't get up to see him off.Zhang Chengwang only thought that he was so upset that he had no intention of giving it away, instead of being angry, he became even happier.

Lu Li sat in his original position, with a cloudy expression on his face all the time.

His wife, Lu Li Shi, just came over and was shocked when she saw his expression.After all, Lu Li's temper has become better and better over the years, always smiling.Even as his pillow person, she rarely saw his appearance at this time.

"It's unreasonable!" He clenched his hands into fists and thumped the table hard.

Lu Lishi poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Who offended you?"

Lu Li drank the tea first, and then sneered, "Who else but Zhang Chengwang? Am I that stupid? I can't wait to come and provoke me to deal with Suijun."

"He spends his mind on these places all day long. No wonder his reading talent is obviously only slightly worse than Suijun's, but his learning ability is so much worse than Suijun's."

Only when he was out of his mind would he deal with the Yuan family.Whether it is building a big house or spinning a wheel, it is beneficial to the whole village visible to the naked eye.Moreover, he had watched the two brothers of the Yuan family grow up, so he couldn't understand their temperament very well.

Yuan Suijun is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, while Yuan Suifeng has a carefree and loyal personality.When the Yuan family had a hard time before, Lu Li didn't make trouble, and was very protective of their family.With the characters of those two brothers, they definitely wouldn't fight with him.

Only people like Zhang Chengwang think narrowly about people.He also underestimated his character.In his eyes, is he the kind of narrow-minded person who can't tolerate meritorious people?

When Lu Lishi knew the ins and outs of the matter, she was also a little annoyed, "I'll go get a basin of water and wipe the chair clean."

It's just bad luck!
"You're still a scholar, why is your mind so small?"

Originally, Mrs. Lu Li also wanted to help his sister Zhang Xinghua to see her marriage for the sake of Zhang Chengwang.Now Lu Lishi has put out this idea.Both Zhang Chengwang and Su Yuewei are of bad character, and the Zhang Xinghua they brought up cannot be trusted.Besides, Zhang Xinghua usually shows a bitter and mean side outside, and she is usually lazy and greedy. If I introduce her marriage, I am afraid that it is not to harm other people's family.

Stop being such a villain.

Their Lu family has never done anything wrong to Zhang's family, he just wanted to provoke the two families to fight, what kind of heart did he have?

The more he wanted to see them fight, the more she wanted to make friends with the Yuan family and make him mad.

Lu Lishi also had a clear love-hate side in his bones, so he immediately packed up the freshly laid eggs of the chickens raised at home and sent half a basket to Su Yueling.

In the next few days, she even delivered things to Su's house twice in three days, a handful of chestnuts today, pears grown by her mother's family tomorrow, and impatiens grown by her own family that can be used to dye nails the day after tomorrow.Although it is not an expensive thing, it is also a kind of heart.

Gifts are reciprocated, and if Su Yueling likes eating, she will return the gift.Her return gifts are nothing more than snacks, pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

In short, in the eyes of outsiders, the village chief's family and Yuan's family can be said to be getting closer.

Zhang Chengwang looked at it in his heart and felt puzzled.

Could it be that after hearing what he said, the village chief was afraid of going to the Yuan family, and that's why he made his old wife bow down to please the Yuan family?
Or did he simply not understand what he meant?
If you really can't get on the stage, no wonder you are just a child after taking the exam for so many years.

Although he was annoyed that things were not progressing as he had imagined, Zhang Chengwang couldn't speak more clearly in front of the village chief for the sake of his own image, so he could only watch the relationship between the two families get better and better.
