The South City's richest Zhong family had doted on their beloved daughter for seventeen years, only to find they had doted on the wrong person!
Word had it that the true daughter, Kong Xi...
Chapter 74, Family Law Disposal
Kong Xiyan returned to the village overnight and held a small meeting in the village ancestral hall.
The person who was called over looked stunned and yawned, not knowing what the acting village chief was going to do.
Kong Xiyan sat in the first seat, with Zhong Yangyang and others who came with her standing behind her.
"Village Chief Xiao Kong, why did you call us here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" The man who spoke was in his early sixties, with gray hair and a sleepy face.
"Yeah." Someone echoed, their voice full of dissatisfaction: "It's late at night, I was already asleep and they woke me up!"
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment." Kong Xiyan finally spoke: "I believe everyone should have heard that the excavation of this ancient mysterious city has yielded some results.
I have also submitted a series of protection policies and applications to the higher authorities, trying to benefit every villager in our village."
After hearing what Kong Xiyan said, the elders who had been yawning suddenly stopped feeling sleepy and their cloudy eyes became bright.
"Is what Village Chief Xiao Kong said true?" The old man, who had a stern face as soon as he entered the door, even had the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes smoothed out a lot.
"Of course it's true!" Kong Xiyan nodded: "Think about it, everyone, since the first day I came to our village, when have I ever done anything to let you down?
Since live streaming started in our village, have I done my best to help the villagers, drive rural development, and help the poor get richer? "
Everyone's family has received money from Kong Xiyan to buy dishes or agricultural products, and the amount given is indeed more than what is given in the city.
"Although I'm only the acting village chief, I've always done my job well and followed my heart, always working for the good of our villagers and our village." Kong Xiyan's fingertips rhythmically tapped the armrests of her chair, and she suddenly changed the subject: "But there are some people who are not ideologically conscious enough, who undermine our sense of collective unity and hinder the development of our village. As the village chief, my subsequent work is... very difficult!"
Hearing Kong Xiyan say this, everyone's eyes widened immediately. Who is it! Who dares to undermine their collective interests! No, it's to destroy their collective unity!
"Village Chief Xiao Kong, who is so excessive?" Uncle Zhu frowned.
"Everyone, don't worry." Kong Xiyan made a quiet gesture, and then continued slowly: "The reason why I called everyone here in the middle of the night today is to solve this problem.
As you all know, although I am temporarily taking over the position of village chief, I am just an outsider after all, and there are some things that I cannot interfere with.
I'm sorry for disturbing everyone's rest, but after all, family disgrace shouldn't be made public. There's been a TV show filming and an archaeological team going on in the village lately...it wouldn't be a good thing if it got out."
Afterwards, Kong Xiyan had Zhu Ge brought up.
Zhu Ge looked around at the elders in the clan. They were all glaring at him angrily. Zhu Ge was startled and immediately glared at Kong Xiyan and cursed: "Kong Xiyan! You have no shame! You actually complained!"
Kong Xiyan blinked at Zhu Ge: Ah, what else?
Before Kong Xiyan could express her opinion, Third Uncle Zhu swung his arm and slapped Zhu Ge in the face: "Your own land is almost abandoned, and you don't know how to take care of it. All you do all day is think about those unrealistic things!"
Zhu Ge's face suddenly swelled up, and his glasses fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.
Zhu Ge stared with a pair of eyes full of dissatisfaction: "The Ancient Domain Mysterious City originally belonged to our Zhu family! The Zhu family!"
"You're still talking about the Zhu family. The Ming Dynasty has been gone for so many years, why haven't you woken up yet?" Kong Xiyan propped up her chin with one hand: "Don't dare let outsiders hear this, it's embarrassing!"
"Don't worry, Village Chief Kong, we will deal with this unfilial descendant." The senior Zhu family elder nodded respectfully to Kong Xiyan and said, "It's getting late. Village Chief Kong, please take these distinguished guests back to rest!"
"Okay, this is your family affair after all, and I really can't get involved." Kong Xiyan stood up and prepared to go out. When she reached Uncle Zhu, she raised her hand and patted his arm: "Uncle Zhu, based on his behavior, I should have sent him to jail for a few years, but when I think of how much I've been cared for by you and the villagers recently, I really can't bear it!
Please lend me the electric tricycle for two more days!"
"Okay! Don't even mention borrowing it! I can even give it to you as a gift!" Uncle Zhu's face was full of emotion. He knew that Village Chief Xiao Kong was a great guy!
"That won't do! We can't take a single needle or thread from the villagers!" Kong Xiyan patted Uncle Zhu's shoulder again, then glanced at Zhu Ge and cleared her throat. "After all, this is a society ruled by law. If the elders want to discipline me, I can't say anything, but... speak softly. After all, this is not a glorious thing!"
After saying this, Kong Xiyan led those people out of the ancestral hall.
Cheng Yue came close to Kong Xiyan and asked quietly, "Is this really okay?"
"Don't worry, they will thank us." Kong Xiyan curled the corners of her mouth.
At this time, the voices of thanks from the elders of the Zhu family came from behind.
Kong Xiyan smiled, waved, and walked out of the ancestral hall.
This can be considered as a disguised explanation to the poisoned members of the archaeological team.
Driving the electric tricycle, Kong Xiyan first sent the Cheng siblings back to their residence, and then sent the Zhong siblings back.
After getting off the car, Zhong Yangyang looked at Kong Xiyan with a pair of bright eyes, but her face looked a little ugly because of motion sickness.
"Go to bed early." Kong Xiyan only left this sentence and drove away on the electric tricycle.
"Humph!" Zhong Qihan looked at Kong Xiyan's back and muttered unhappily, "Outlaw!"
Judging from Kong Xiyan's style of doing things, he wouldn't be surprised if she was arrested one day!
Kong Xiyan, known as the "outlaw", contacted the mayor's secretary as soon as she returned, explained the situation here, and also greeted Professor Gu.
Both sides had no objection to Kong Xiyan's handling of the matter. Professor Gu even jokingly said that Kong Xiyan's sophistication in handling things did not seem like that of a young person.
"There's nothing we can do about it." Kong Xiyan smiled and said, "This is just the only way I can give everyone in the archaeological team an explanation. Although it's not perfect, it's the only way I can do it now. There really isn't enough evidence."
"Those guys weren't cautious enough, and their own greed caused all this trouble." Professor Gu sighed. "I hope they'll learn from their mistakes! This time it was wild mushrooms, but if it's really a deadly poison next time, there's no way to regret it!"
Kong Xiyan nodded in agreement, and finally said that she would take the initiative to submit a report and would never embarrass Professor Gu.
Professor Gu couldn't help but sigh, "Such a promising talent, why did you choose to study mathematics? Come and study archaeology with me, I'll give you a million dollars a year and even introduce you to a date!"
"No thanks, thank you!" Kong Xiyan's mouth twitched. Her master had calculated her fate and knew that she would never get married in this life unless she took in a son-in-law.
Forget it, it’s troublesome.
After hanging up the phone, Professor Gu looked at the documents sent by the students. He became more and more excited. After thinking about it, he made a late-night call to his old friend in Nancheng: "Lao Su, are you asleep?"
The head of the Su family, who was woken up by a phone call in the middle of the night, frowned and twitched his mouth: "Guess?!"
"It's good that you didn't sleep! It's good that you didn't sleep!" Professor Gu's smiling voice came over, sounding a bit annoying.
“Guess again!!!”
