This "wait a minute" shocked everyone and pushed the already depressing atmosphere to another level.
Chen Jinshui turned around and said, "Are you calling me?"
"Yes, I'm calling you."
"Lin Yue, why are you talking to your uncle?"
For some reason, Chen Yulian had a very bad premonition.
"I think he likes the mayor more than the title uncle, right? Mayor Chen..."
The mayor's title was very long, so long that everyone could hear the strangeness in it.
Everyone looked at him, and there was only one feeling in their hearts, what is this guy going to do!
"Three days ago, I remember you said during dinner that if there is someone in Chenjia Village who can invent the mop, you will pass on the position of mayor to him. Now you have seen that he is your adopted son Chen Jiang He, as the mayor, you must keep your word, otherwise you will be a villain who goes back on your word."
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, and finally turn your attention to Chen Jinshui.
The old guy... really said such a thing?
Chen Jinshui did say it, but it was a joke after drinking, and Qiaogu remembered it clearly.
But the crux of the matter is how Lin Yue found out about the joke at the wine table.
correct!
On the day Chen Jinshui came back, he and a group of children were watching cartoons in the yard, and most likely he listened to them at that time.
"..." Chen Jinshui remained silent, just looking at Lin Yue with a gloomy, powerful and ferocious look.
A child might really be frightened by such a look, but he...
"Uncle, you were also drinking at the mayor's house that day. That's what he said at the time. Am I right? I still remember that you drank Yanghe Daqu, fried a plate of peanuts, a plate of scrambled eggs with fungus, and a plate of scrambled eggs with fungus. A plate of fried bacon with lettuce and a plate of white-cut mutton. The mutton is so fragrant that I was drooling in the yard."
"this……"
Chen Jinzhu glanced around, and finally looked at Chen Jinshui. He seemed helpless and nodded reluctantly.
"By the way, Qiaogu and Grandma were also there when he said this."
Everyone went to see Qiaogu again. She wanted to smile politely but couldn't. She couldn't deny it against her will at this point, so she looked very embarrassed.
Chen Jianghe was also very embarrassed. He never thought that this little cousin of the sixth server would make it difficult for his uncle (adoptive father) to come to the stage.
Chen Jinshui's aura was completely shattered, and his face was a bit unbearable.
"I said this, but whoever wants to be the mayor can be the mayor? That must be approved by the county."
Lin Yue said: "That's easy to handle. From now on, every decision will be made by Brother Ji Feo. You just need to make sure it is implemented in place."
Chen Jinshui was very angry and stared at him. His sunken cheeks gave his whole face a sinister look: "What are you going to do? You are a rebel at such a young age!"
"Yes, I just want to rebel." Lin Yue said: "It's not like you haven't experienced it back then. Is there a problem with what I did? The fields are all guaranteed to each household, and the small vendors doing business in Ximen Old Street are lined up for two miles. The land is so long. I heard that the new Director Qiu even wrote down the deeds of Brother Ji Feo and handed them to the county. He will be officially commended soon. What about you... you are still hindering everyone from doing business. To make money, what qualifications do you have to be our mayor?”
Everyone was dissatisfied with Chen Jinshui and feared him. No one thought that the first person who rebelled against Chen Jinshui was a child.
Some people applauded silently, but they didn't have the courage to stand up and express their support.
Chen Yulian hurried over, separated Lin Yue and Chen Jinshui, and scolded: "Is this something you should take care of? Have you finished your homework? Come on, follow me home."
Lin Yue threw her hand away and said stubbornly like a child: "He is the mayor, so he must lead by example and keep his word. Otherwise, why should everyone listen to him?"
Chen Jinshui wished he could tear his mouth to pieces. A few words made him lose face and prestige.
But what can he do? As a mayor, you can't be as knowledgeable as a child.
As expected of Lin Yutang's son, he is truly a broom star!
"Uncle, uncle, don't be angry." Chen Jianghe saw that he couldn't resolve the conflict if he didn't step forward, so he stood up and said, "Don't say I'm not qualified. I'm not qualified to do it. I just want to help everyone make some money. I don't have to live with you anymore." It’s as hard as before.”
Lin Yue raised another question: "Brother Ji Feo, you want to lead everyone to make money, but the mayor won't let you. Should I listen to you or to him? Listening to him will not lead everyone to live a good life. Everyone is not convinced. He, then he is not qualified to be the mayor, is he?"
Good guy, this guy's questions are really tricky.
Chen Yulian raised her hand to strike: "Stop talking!"
"Why don't you let me speak? Doesn't what I say make sense?" Lin Yue lowered his head and then raised it again. His eyes were red, and the tears came at every turn, and he choked and said: "Dad ...Dad doesn't want us anymore. When we get home, our aunt bullies us every day. Last time you asked the mayor to find me, he... In order not to delay the school class in the county, he ignored things and played football, and asked you to go to the police station to call the police. Now... ...Now Brother Ji Feo is taking us to make some money, he...he wants to interfere with it again, I...tell a few words of truth, and you are going to beat me up. If you think about it better...why is it so difficult?"
When he said this, Chen Yulian couldn't hold back. She lowered her raised hand and hugged him. Her hands were around his neck from behind. The mother and son hugged each other and cried: "If mom doesn't hit you, it's mom's fault. It's all my fault, my mother is incapable..."
This scene made everyone feel sour and uncomfortable, and their anger towards Hu Li and Chen Jinshui also increased.
Not long after the news about Hu Li and her mother-in-law's separation came out, the carpenter's wife told people about her experience when she went to deliver meat pies. She said that Hu Li's chicken died. It was obviously bitten to death by a weasel, but she was forced to accuse her of it. Lin Yue took this as an opportunity to separate the family from her mother-in-law. I don’t know how they negotiated it. Anyway, Hu Li’s family of four occupied all the land belonging to the seven members of the family, and the responsibility for supporting her parents fell to Chen Yulian.
Not only were the orphans and widowers being bullied at home, but Chen Jinshui, as the mayor, didn't expect that he wouldn't pity them. People's lives were at stake here, so he still had the heart to go to the county to attend a class? Now I want to prevent everyone from doing small business and cut off the source of income that orphans and widowed mothers have finally obtained. Is this something that humans can do? Is it strange that Lin Yue accused him in public of not being qualified to be the mayor?
Several people looked at Chen Jinshui with hatred on their faces. What happened to the mayor? Can the mayor bully people like this?
Chen Jinhuo and Chen Jintu looked down upon Hu Li. She had bullied her sister-in-law so badly. Just now Ji Feoduo gave Chen Yulian a few cents, and she was still yelling unhappy.
"Ahem, everyone, listen to what I have to say. Listen to what I have to say." Chen Jinping raised his hands and pressed down: "Actually, everyone has misunderstood. As for me, I went to the county to study this time, just to understand the reform. The spirit of openness has gone, and now the policy is good. In the past two years, we implemented the household contract system, and the villagers have food to eat. Now County Magistrate Xie strongly supports us in doing business to make money. Seeing that there is no Huqingmen, the county We are planning to build a small commodity market, learning from the Hanzheng Street in Wuhan, and giving us Yiwu people a place to set up stalls and do business in peace and security, so you see, I didn’t say that everyone is not allowed to make money.”
The mayor relented!
Everyone looked at each other. Although he used the banner of the county magistrate and revealed the contents of the study class, everyone knew that Chen Jinshui had no choice but to do it. Otherwise, why did he cry when he entered the door just now, and now he was defeated by Lin Yue? , just about to make people angry, he changed his tune and supported everyone to make money.
"Okay, you can continue to pay."
Chen Jinshui walked away with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.
But as soon as he went out, his face dropped.
Indeed, this time I went to the county to study, the research direction was how to change the mind, so that everyone can open their hands and feet to do business and make money. But he had been too strict with everyone before. Two days ago, he told the villagers not to follow the example of Fotang Town and Xitan Village. People from Liu Qing went to the county to set up stalls, and even arrested Luo Yuzhu, the king of socks. Typical, it only took a week before he changed his tune? It’s too pointless.
After careful calculation, there are three losses today.
First, it shows that he is not as far-sighted as Chen Jianghe. He is a conservative who is late-minded. He no longer represents progress and runs counter to the ideas of the villagers and county leaders.
Second, his prestige was greatly affected by being exposed in public by a child. Even a child dared to accuse him of his behavior. Will other villagers still obey his words in the future?
Third, if he goes back on his word and doesn't keep his word, how many people will believe him if he promises anything in the future? Not only did my credit plummet, but I was slapped in the face and felt very uncomfortable.
So today I encountered a major setback, which was also a life crisis.
No, this place has to be found, otherwise where would he put his face as the mayor?
Chen Jinshui thought carefully for a moment and came up with an idea. Didn't that guy think that if he didn't let everyone do business, Chen Yulian would have no chance to make money? Then he made three rules to Ji Feo, and he was not allowed to play with Chen Yulian in the future. On one side was his adoptive father, and on the other side was his cousin who was not related by blood. Who should he listen to and who should he turn to? Is this multiple-choice question difficult to solve?
