She took a deep breath and looked at Lu Qing with a determined look, as if to say, "The fun has just begun." Then, she turned and walked towards Village Chief Sun's house...
Dilemma of village rules, uncontrollable feelings
Shen Qiqi walked straight towards Village Chief Sun's house. The afterglow of the setting sun stretched her figure out long, like a javelin, pointing directly at people's hearts.
What she wants to do is to be innovative and make a revolution!
In the village committee, Village Chief Sun sat upright with his brows furrowed into a "川" shape, stroking an enamel teacup in his hand, as if some state secret was engraved on it.
The air in the room was as heavy as a pot of burnt porridge, so thick that it made it hard to breathe.
"Village Chief Sun, I'm here." Shen Qiqi pushed the door open and walked in. Her crisp voice was like a stone thrown into the stagnant water.
Village Chief Sun looked up and saw Shen Qiqi. It was as if he saw a savior, but also as if he saw the god of plague. His expression was as complicated as an overturned palette.
"Qiqi, you're here! What you said is really difficult to deal with!" He sighed deeply, his tone full of sorrow.
"Difficult? This is just the beginning!" Shen Qiqi secretly complained in her heart, but with a confident smile on her face, she walked over and sat down opposite Village Chief Sun.
Village Chief Sun looked at Shen Qiqi's confident look and felt even more uncertain.
"Qiqi, it's not that I don't support you, but these village rules were passed down by our ancestors. How can we just change them? If we don't change them properly and arouse public outrage, my term as village chief will be over!"
"Village Chief Sun, what you said is wrong. Our ancestors also said, 'When you are poor, you must change; when you change, you will prosper; when you prosper, you will last long!' Many of our current village rules are outdated. If we don't change them, how can we develop? How can we achieve a well-off society?" Shen Qiqi spoke righteously and forcefully, leaving Village Chief Sun stunned.
"That's what I said, but..." Village Chief Sun wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Shen Qiqi.
"No buts! Village Chief Sun, just tell me, do you want our village to become rich?" Shen Qiqi's eyes were firm and her tone was unquestionable.
Village Chief Sun was shocked by her aura and was speechless for a long time.
The corners of Shen Qiqi's mouth rose slightly, and she took out a...
Shen Qiqi pulled out a thick stack of information from her cloth bag and slapped it on the table in front of Village Chief Sun.
"Village Chief Sun, look at these. These are the results of other villages' reforms. They're all thriving now, while our village is still stagnant. Aren't you worried?"
Village Chief Sun picked up the information and flipped through it page by page. The expression on his face changed from confusion to shock, and then to contemplation.
He originally thought that Shen Qiqi was just a whimsical girl, but he didn't expect that she had done so much homework.
In the photos, the roads in those villages are flat and wide, the houses are neat and beautiful, and the villagers' faces are filled with happy smiles, which is completely different from his impression of the rural scenes.
"Is this... is this true?" Village Chief Sun asked in disbelief.
"Of course it's true! How could I lie to you?" Shen Qiqi raised her eyebrows, a hint of pride in her tone.
Village Chief Sun looked at the information, a thoughtful glint gradually appearing in his eyes, and an atmosphere of admiration rose in his heart.
This girl is not simple!
Shen Qiqi saw that Village Chief Sun's attitude had changed, and a feeling of relief spread in her heart. She knew that this matter had a chance!
As night fell, Shen Qiqi dragged her tired body back home. As soon as she entered the door, she smelled the fragrance of food. She saw Lu Qing wearing an apron and busy in front of the stove.
"Are you back? Are you tired? Wash your hands and have dinner." Lu Qing said gently.
The flickering candlelight illuminated Lu Qing's handsome face and also illuminated Shen Qiqi's tired heart.
She walked to the table and sat down, watching Lu Qing serve her food, her heart filled with emotion.
"Thank you for your hard work today." Lu Qing gently stroked Shen Qiqi's hair, his tone full of love.
Shen Qiqi felt Lu Qing's tenderness, and an intoxicated emotion overflowed in her heart. It was great to have him around.
After dinner, Lu Qing cleaned up the dishes while Shen Qiqi leaned back in a chair to rest.
"I plan to go talk to Uncle Wang tomorrow." Shen Qiqi said suddenly.
Lu Qing stopped what he was doing and looked at Shen Qiqi, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes, "Uncle Wang is famous for being stubborn, you..."
Shen Qiqi smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I have a way." Her eyes flashed with confidence.
Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi's determined eyes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He believed that she could do it.
"Knock knock knock..." A knock on the door broke the silence of the night.
"Who is it?" Lu Qing asked.
Lu Qing opened the door, and outside stood Uncle Wang with a sullen face, his hands behind his back, staring fiercely at Shen Qiqi.
"Chen Qiqi, you are breaking the ancestral rules. There can't be a woman like you who is a spendthrift in the village!" Uncle Wang's voice exploded in the night sky like thunder, causing the windows of the neighbors to open one after another, and all eyes were focused on the young couple.
Shen Qiqi smiled slightly and stood up calmly. The scene outside the door came into view: under the bright moonlight, the villagers gathered in twos and threes, talking incessantly, and the air was filled with tension and curiosity.
"Uncle Wang, please don't be angry for now. Let's sit down and have a good chat." Shen Qiqi extended her hand to invite Uncle Wang into the house, her tone calm and sincere.
Uncle Wang narrowed his eyes, obviously not expecting Shen Qiqi to be so calm, but he still walked in with heavy steps.
Lu Qing closed the door silently, returned to the table and sat down, his eyes full of support and encouragement.
