Rebirth of the Non-Mainstream Village Chief

Chapter 33

I heard that the gangsters in Gangnan Village built a martial arts school, and that Liu Qiye, who is in charge of Zhaojiabu Ferry, will be the chief instructor of this martial arts school. When the day of enrollment came, the villagers from the nearby ten miles and eight villages couldn't sit still and came to inquire about the news one after another.

Most of the children in rural areas are not very good at reading. Those who graduate from junior high school and can go to high school are very rare. If they can be admitted to a technical secondary school, it is even rarer.Fifteen or sixteen years old is still too early to start a family, and you can't do much farm work if you take them to the fields. You can only make troubles when you stay at home, so it's better to send them to a martial arts school, at least you can learn some skills, so as not to be bullied in the future.

When they met Liu Qiye, they almost dropped their jaws in shock when they heard the news.

Martial arts schools do not charge tuition fees, and they also provide food and housing. After finishing their studies, bullies will be responsible for arranging jobs for the boys. The wages will not be too high, only twice as high as those who eat public meals in the countryside.Those who eat public meals can get 36 yuan when they first go to work, which is twice as high, but it will cost 80 to [-] yuan.

Facing the doubts from the parents, Wei Tiezhu nodded firmly. This salary is nothing. Knowing where the bully's second uncle went?The handyman who works with the bully second uncle costs 35 yuan a month. These boys who have studied in the martial arts school will be the guards of the bully in the future. Isn't it normal to get a salary of 80 yuan a month?
In order to prove that he didn't tell a lie, Wei Tiezhu also showed his salary slip, and all the parents looked sideways, and they all took a breath of air.

Be good, Long Didong, 100 yuan!
Huang Dalong happened to be there too, and when he saw Wei Tiezhu's salary slip, his heart suddenly became unbalanced. Why did Brother Ba give me Huang Dalong a salary of 1000 yuan a month?It's not fair!Oh, by the way, I, Huang Dalong, are more capable than Wei Tiezhu, and more capable of execution than Wei Tiezhu, um, that’s okay, you guys are busy, I still have something to do, I have to find something to do if I have nothing to do, and I have to be worthy of the high salary that Brother Ba gave me.

Just when these parents were so excited that they would rather change their son’s surname to Yang or Liu and have to stay in the martial arts school, the seventh uncle poured cold water on everyone’s heads. Martial arts school students are not something you can enroll as you want, it depends on the kid’s qualifications, and those who can’t be liked by the old man will not be accepted. Those who are over 16 years old will not be accepted.

As soon as these words came out, all the parents scattered like birds and beasts, hurried home, raced against time, and brought their own sons over to show Liu Qiye a look. I don't know if they have the talent to practice martial arts, but the advantage of being the first mover must be seized.

The Chen family had reported to Chen Cangwei the excitement of the martial arts school in the west of the village, and Chen Cangwei just smiled indifferently when he heard it.

Yesterday in the village, the mayor Tian gave him a reassurance.That's right, a village is a village of the state, and the village head is the village head recognized by the public. Elections are just a means of selection. In the end, the public has the final say on who will be selected.

What can you do if your bully's prestige in the village is at its peak?So what can you do, you little bitch, to spread your influence to ten miles and eight villages by relying on martial arts school admissions, including food and housing?In front of the public, it doesn't matter how high you jump, the village chief of Gangnan Village is still mine, Chen Cangwei, after all.

The mayor of Tian also warned him to calm down and not to make any moves before the election, so as not to alarm the bullies and little bastards.Although it is inconvenient for the senior official behind him to interfere in the election of the village committee at the lowest level, it is easy to set up obstacles to their plan through connections.

Chen Cangwei has always respected Tian Shaowu, and Chen Cangwei kept this kind of admonition for his good in mind, so that when he learned that his lord Zhang Shaoben had also defected to the bully camp, he still acted calmly.

"Tianyun, Tianliang, the two of you brothers let go of other things during this time, and it's time to get votes. Alas... At critical moments, outsiders are still unreliable."

Pull votes?

It sounds easy, but I have no experience!
Chen Tianyun and Chen Tianliang were all at a loss when they heard the tasks assigned by their second uncle/uncle. When did Gangnan Village elect the village chief?Didn't the elders of the Chen family sit down and decide on the village chief?

"That is to knock on the door of every household, go in and sit down, say something nice, and make some promises that don't hurt, I will come to the door of the Chen family, and you brothers will be responsible for those families with foreign surnames who are related to the Chen family."

Chen Tianliang said: "Second Uncle, the election will be re-elected after the summer harvest, isn't it too early to get votes now?"

Chen Cangwei shook his head: "The township means to let our village advance the reelection before the summer harvest. I think it's better to put it on next Friday. It's all done, and there are only less than ten days."

Chen Tianyun was very puzzled. The prestige of the bully and the little bastard is at its peak right now. With the help of Zhang Shaoben and Li Zhentang, the reelection of the village chief has formed a tendency to get something out of the bag. The second uncle didn't give himself more time to find a chance to fight back, but went further ahead. What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?
Chen Tianliang understood the second uncle's intentions.The second uncle must have found a way to deal with bullies and little bastards. He re-elected in advance because he was worried that the night would be long and dreamy.

However, one of the two brothers pretended to understand in confusion, while the other saw through without telling the truth, and did not raise any objections to Chen Cangwei's orders.

On the second day after the martial arts school started enrolling students, the village committee posted a notice:
According to the instructions of the township leaders, the election of the seventh village committee of Gangnan Village will be held ahead of schedule to next Friday (July 7). The seventh village committee is composed of five people. The list of candidates is as follows: Yang Rui, male, 18 years old; Chen Cangwei, male, 20 years old; Zhang Shaoben, male, 47 years old; Chen Tianyun, male, 47 years old; Li Zhentang, male, 30 years old;

There were a total of ten candidates, and Yang Rui topped the list, which fully met the expectations of the villagers. However, many villagers only knew the bully, but they didn't know who Yang Rui was, so some misunderstandings arose.

The notice also specifically explained the voting method for this re-election. In previous elections, each household had one vote. This time, for the sake of fairness, it was changed to one vote per person. All villagers in the village who are over [-] years old can collect their votes at the village committee from now on.

Gangnan Village has never had a campaign speech, and this time is no exception. Candidates can do it themselves if they want to, and the village committee neither supports nor opposes it.

"Why does it feel like Chen Cangwei is about to surrender?" Huang Dalong was not the only one who held such a view, many villagers also thought so.

Zhang Shaoben's expression was solemn, and he obviously didn't agree with this view: "You don't know Chen Cangwei, he is definitely not a person who is willing to admit defeat easily, I feel that he seems to have found a magic weapon to win, that's why he behaved so calmly..."

Yang Rui didn't participate in this debate, it was his previous judgment that there must be a monster when things go wrong, but he, Yang Rui, couldn't see where the monster was hiding, and I believe they couldn't figure it out even after arguing.

……

At noon, Yang Rui came to Gangdong Village as scheduled.

Zhao Gongbo’s reception standard was even higher than last time. The red carpet was spread directly to the entrance of the village, and five members of the village committee came to greet him. A banner was drawn between the two big banyan trees behind him, which read: Warmly welcome Village Chief Yang of Gangnan Village to guide the work in our village!
This flattery is... very cool.

Yang Rui waved his hand modestly: "Uncle Zhao, this banner... has passed, and there is no election yet."

Zhao Gongbo laughed loudly: "One day sooner or later, Gangnan Village will be owned by your bully sooner or later."

Yang Rui sighed: "But it's noon now."

Zhao Gongbo was stunned for a moment, and when he understood the subtlety of Yang Rui's words, he couldn't help but burst out laughing again.

Talking and laughing all the way, when we came to Zhao Gongbo’s house, Yang Rui first took a look at the dining table and chairs that looked like yellow rosewood. It’s not that I, Yang Rui, were greedy. Good things should be kept in the hands of those who can appreciate them. Zhao Gongbo is not worthy of this set of dining tables and chairs.

When the guests were seated, Zhao Gongbo ordered the dishes to be served, and personally opened a bottle of Wuliangye from the Yangtze River Bridge. At that time, Wuliangye was highly praised by the people more than Moutai, and Moutai could be bought at the supply and marketing agency with a ticket, but if you want to drink Wuliangye, you have to increase the price.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhao Gongbo finally turned the topic to loans.

After hearing Zhao Gongbo's appeal, Yang Rui smiled.

"Uncle Zhao, don't take offense if I have something to say."

Hearing Yang Rui's tone, Zhao Gongbo couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat, but he still showed an attitude of listening respectfully.

Sure enough, Yang Rui politely declined Zhao Gongbo's request.

"My Uncle Liao is also a director. This level is not small in the city, but it is not big. He is only in charge of the logistics of the municipal government and has nothing to do with the bank. I am afraid that I, Uncle Liao, cannot help."

Zhao Gongbo's heart was filled with chills, but he still tried to put on a happy face because he thought about his face: "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, if you can help, it's the best. If you can't help, it won't affect the relationship between our grandfather and father." As he said, he picked up a large piece of fish for Yang Rui with his chopsticks.

Yang Rui made a backhanded toast to Zhao Gongbo.

"Uncle Zhao, I don't understand. It's only 50 yuan. Why do you have to ask the bank? Can't I lend it to you?"

Like a drowning man grabbing a straw, Zhao Gongbo's eyes suddenly glowed, but only for a moment, the glory faded. Is the bully planning to lend usury?I'm a ferry business, and I can't afford such a high interest rate.

Yang Rui saw through Zhao Gongbo's thoughts, and said with a chuckle: "You think too much, Uncle Zhao, I'd like to lend you money. It's for the close relationship and relationship between our two villages, not for the interest. Well, let's just calculate it according to the bank's loan interest. I don't want any more."

Zhao Gongbo was touched. It really is the seed of his Yang family brothers back then, with the same big heart, the same generosity, and the same great ability.
