"Shut up..."
Zhou Yuan slammed the book in his hand on the table, making a lot of noise. He turned around and looked at Tang Xiaoyu with red eyes.
Tang Xiaoyu was so frightened that she trembled all over, screamed, closed her mouth subconsciously, and looked at him timidly.
"Stop talking."
Zhou Yuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and lowered his voice and said, "Yun Xi and I are over. If you still want to live happily with me, don't mention her to me again."
He regretted it, but what could he do
She had already married a woman, and he had no way of turning back.
Now that it’s over, why can’t you let it go
Tang Xiaoyu's throat moved but she didn't dare to make a sound. She had something dissatisfying she wanted to say, but she didn't dare anymore.
She also knew a little bit about Zhou Yuan. He had already said such things. If she continued to say so, he would definitely divorce her.
…
Tang Xiaoyu made a fuss with Zhou Yuan, but it had no effect. Instead, the relationship between the two people fell into unprecedented tension.
As for the money, I didn’t get it after all.
With no money to renew, Village Chief Tang was discharged from the hospital by his sons the next day and returned to the village from the county.
Then, the news about Village Chief Tang's paralysis was completely spread, and every villager knew about it.
A country cannot be without a king for a day, and a village cannot be without a village chief for a long time. Therefore, the village party secretary sent an application to the town to elect a new village chief.
After the election of the village chief spread, Village Chief Tang's family did not want to continue to be immersed in sorrow, but decided to hold an election.
Although the village chief is not a big official, he has a lot of oil and wealth, and he has many conveniences in the village. Therefore, how can Village Chief Tang's family be willing to give up this piece of fat
Although Village Chief Tang can no longer be the village chief, he still has four sons.
As long as any one of these four sons becomes the village chief, then the Old Tang family will also be able to take advantage of it.
The election in the village is relatively simple. Everyone gets together and just raises their hands to say who to vote for. The village party secretary is responsible for counting.
In this era, the villagers were illiterate, let alone writing, so there was no such thing as writing a vote.
Before that, those who wanted to be the village chief only had to go from house to house and ask the villagers to show their face and choose him.
This is a normal process, and the Old Tang family does not need it.
As I said before, Village Chief Tang’s family has someone in the county. Village Chief Tang’s brother-in-law is the secretary of the county magistrate. This is a big official position, and countless people want to curry favor with him.
Therefore, as long as the Old Tang family reveals to the village party secretary who in their family wants to be the village leader, the village party secretary will help them do the rest.
The Old Tang family held a family meeting to decide which son would serve as the next village chief. After some discussion, they finally decided that the second oldest son with the most flexible mind would be the one.
So, early the next morning, Tang Laoer went to the village party secretary with two bottles of good wine, saying that he wanted to be the next village chief of the village. This was what his uncle meant. After he took office, My uncle will be grateful to the village party secretary and so on.
Tang Laoer's uncle was the county magistrate's secretary.
In the past, every time someone from the Tang family mentioned this secretary to the village party secretary, the village party secretary always had a fawning look on his face, but today, his expression was a little weird, but Tang Laoer didn't notice it.
After the village party secretary accepted the wine, he said a few vague words to Tang Laoer and dismissed him.
Tang Laoer also hummed a song and left happily, not thinking that there would be any surprises about him becoming the village chief.
In his opinion, this was already a done deal.
In this way, time passed day by day, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye, ushering in such an important day as the village chief election.
On this day, everyone did not go down to work, but came to the rice field in the village early.
The village party secretary set up a table and spread it with hemp paper. He sat in front of the table and picked up a pen to prepare statistics.
After a brief speech, the election phase began. Basically, anyone who is of the right age, has no criminal history, and is literate can participate.
But Tangjiacun is relatively poor, so there are very few people who have read books. Therefore, there are not many people qualified to stand for election, there must be only four.
Among these four, there are Tang Laoer and Ding Ye.
When he learned that Ding Ye was also on the ballot, Tang Laoer frowned and felt a little strange. Ding Ye was illiterate, so why should he participate
Among the four people running for election, the other two are well-known cultural figures, both of whom have attended several schools in the town.
But this Ding Ye has never been to school for a day. Moreover, he is still an outsider. Why should an outsider stand for election as the village chief of Tangjia Village
Tang Laoer asked this question at that time, and then the village party secretary who accepted his gift burst out laughing and answered him in a good-natured manner.
The village party secretary said that any villager with a household registration in Tangjia Village can run for election. In addition, although Ding Ye has never gone to school, he is now literate.
Ding Ye is indeed literate now, and he knows quite a lot. It's all because Yun Xi taught him every day when he came back from the fields.
If he is interested, Yun Xi is willing to teach.
He is very smart and can read quickly, so after one year, he basically knows the commonly used words.
The village party secretary had said so, so Tang Laoer naturally couldn't say anything, so he silently closed his mouth and waited for the election.
Then, he realized that the situation was a little out of his control.
Except for a few villagers who elected the two who had gone to school, most of the villagers elected Ding Ye. Except for their old Tang family, no one elected him at all.
how so
Is this completely different from what you imagined
Tang Laoer stared blankly at the village party secretary who was always competing with the old fox at the table. He vaguely realized that things were about to get out of their control, and under the public gaze, he couldn't do anything.
Tang Laoer saw that Ding Ye's votes were getting more and more, and he could only grit his teeth and get anxious.
There are a total of 1,200 villagers in Tangjia Village. The election lasted for five hours and ended in the afternoon.
The result was no surprise, the new village chief was Ding Ye.
When the village party secretary announced Ding Ye as the new village chief, Tang Laoer couldn't keep calm anymore and jumped up directly, kicking over the chair he had brought.
In an instant, he attracted everyone's attention, and everyone looked at him in amusement.
The villagers all knew that Tang Lao'er was bound to win the position of village chief, but now he just missed it. Tang Lao'er must be very angry, right
