When Zhong Aiguo heard this, his expression froze.

It's over. Now he will be criticized enough by Zhang Chunxue.

Sure enough, when he turned his head, he saw Zhang Chunxue looking at him with a mocking expression.

"Oh, Village Chief Zhong is indeed named Zhong..."

Zhong Aiguo felt his scalp tingling. He swallowed hard and quickly turned around to scold Zhong Jingui: "Hey! I accidentally pronounced your name wrong just now..."

"Zhong Jingui, what you did is really unkind! When something happened in your own family, why are you biting others?"

"Zhang Chunxue and you have already settled the matter today, why are you still holding on to it?"

Zhong Jingui was nearly pissed off: "Brother Aiguo! What do you mean by 'I'm holding on to you'? Tell me yourself, who else could do such a thing besides Zhang Chunxue?"

"Why are you still blaming me?"

The auntie who was on good terms with Zhang Chunxue rolled her eyes: "Who else could it be?"

"Your mouth chatters all the time. I don't know how many people you've offended!"

"It's not impossible that they're taking this opportunity to teach you a lesson, and they can also take advantage of it to blame Haruyuki..."

"Now that I think about it, Haruyuki is being wronged!"

Other villagers were also talking about it.

"That's right. No one knows who did it, but after they did it, they blamed it on Haruyuki, and then they just went off and disappeared, and no one thought about who they were..."

"Aunt Haruyuki is really taking the blame!"

Zhong Aiguo coughed again: "Alright, alright! It's time for dinner! What are you still doing here?"

"Guobang! Take your sister back home quickly!" He yelled at Zhong Guobang and started to attack the onlookers again.

"You lazy women! Go home and cook!"

"And you lazy bums! You all didn't get enough work done today, right?"

"All gone! All gone!"

The onlookers dispersed with laughter and went home. Zhong Jingui was also dragged away by Zhong Guo's gang.

But she looked at Song Xingzhi who was still standing there without moving, his teeth gritting.

But in the end, she was still dragged away by Zhong Guobang.

Zhong Aiguo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw everyone had left. He looked at Song Xingzhi and said, "Secretary Song, there's nothing else to do here. Shall we go back?"

"You've been delayed coming here again, and you didn't even say a word..."

"It's getting late, why don't you go to my house and have a meal?"

Song Xingzhi just smiled gently: "Brother Aiguo, I still have something to say to Sister Chunxue."

Zhong Aiguo didn't think much about it after hearing what he said, and nodded: "Okay, I'll go back first! Your aunt has already prepared the meal."

Song Xingzhi's smile became even gentler: "Brother Aiguo, you should go back first, don't let your sister-in-law wait anxiously."

Zhong Aiguo was stunned for a moment: "Oh, oh, then I'll leave..."

But when he was halfway there, he felt something was not right.

Song Xingzhi has been really weird lately. Before, I always called him Uncle Aiguo and his wife Auntie, but why did he just specifically call her "sister-in-law"?

He began to recall when Song Xingzhi started to change his tone, and remembered what happened this morning with Zhong Jingui in the yard.

At first, Song Xingzhi called him Uncle Aiguo! But after Zhang Chunxue started calling him Brother Aiguo, Song Xingzhi changed his tone.

Thinking of this, Zhong Aiguo was struck by lightning, and his whole brain became clear.

"No way? No way? Our Secretary Song hasn't had a date in all these years, and hasn't had any romantic feelings..."

"Isn't this really going to be taken down by Zhang Chunxue?"

"What's he after? Is it because Zhang Chunxue has three sons and a daughter? Is it because Zhang Chunxue is already a grandmother, so once they get married, he can become a grandfather?"

Zhong Aiguo couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure it out for a million reasons.

He felt that he was probably overthinking it.

With this question in mind, Zhong Aiguo was still preoccupied when he was having dinner at home, and his chopsticks almost got stuck in his nostrils several times.

When his wife saw this, she raised her hand and hit him on the head, which scared his two sons and daughters-in-law.

"What's going on?" Zhong Aiguo looked puzzled.

"That's what I'm asking you about!" Zhong Aibo's wife, Yang Lifang, looked at him sullenly. "Is the food I cook so bad? You'd rather stick it in your nose than put it in your mouth?"

Zhong Aiguo's mouth twitched: "Am I not thinking about something?"

Yang Lifang immediately rolled her eyes. "Being a village chief is just like being a government official! Still thinking about things? Do you have so much to think about?"

"Isn't it just trivial matters that happen every day in this village?"

Zhong Aiguo sighed and said, "I'm not thinking about the village, I'm thinking about Zhang Chunxue."

Yang Lifang raised an eyebrow. "Haruxue? What happened to Haruxue?"

His eldest son chuckled a few times, "Aunt Chunxue gave Dad a good scolding today!"

The second son also said with a smile: "Mom, you were cooking at home just now, didn't you see Dad taking sides with Aunt Jingui today, and getting scolded by Aunt Chunxue again?"

Yang Lifang's face was immediately filled with disdain: "I've always said that you're not doing a very good job as a village chief! Don't you understand the principle of helping the right and not your relatives?"

"If I were Zhang Chunxue, I wouldn't even bother talking to a scumbag like Zhong Jingui. I'd just go up and give her two slaps in the face first!"

Zhong Aiguo glared at her: "You are so rude! All you do is act like a boss at home! Outside, you are just like Zhang Chunxue!"

"Zhang Chunxue's approach was brilliant! With just a few words, she completely humiliated Zhong Jingui!"

"She doesn't even have to do anything!"

He shook his head again: "And I'm not thinking about her and Zhong Jingui's affairs."

He looked at the younger generations in his family and lowered his voice: "I'm thinking about Zhang Chunxue and Secretary Song."

Yang Lifang's brows furrowed. "What's going on? Could it be that someone is plotting against Chunxue and Clerk Song?"

She immediately started cursing, "These people are just too bored! People in other villages might not know who Clerk Song is, but don't the people in our village know him?"

"That's a monk!"

"And Haruyuki, Kunimori has been dead for almost six years. Are these people really going to stop her from remarrying? Isn't that just like her mother-in-law?"

"What? You're forcing her to remain a chastity woman, aren't you? Are you still waiting for the imperial court to award her a chastity arch?"

Her second daughter-in-law couldn't help laughing, and even covered her mouth with her hands.

Zhong Aiguo was speechless: "Look at you, look at you, I just said one sentence and you said a lot!"

"Don't I think Secretary Song is a little strange?"

He told Yang Lifang about his discovery and added a sentence at the end.

"I think Secretary Song is deliberately trying to smooth over the generational issues with Zhang Chunxue! Even though no one cared about it before..."
