Having no other choice, Wang Gou Dan took out 50 cents from his pocket and obediently handed it to the village doctor. The deduction of work points would not be just a matter of 50 cents.
The village doctor's anger was cured by five cents—the price of half a pound of pork! This year, he can buy an extra half pound of pork for his pig-killing feast.
This time, Wang Gou Dan didn't dare to play tricks again. He honestly recounted the whole story, including how he tricked Pan Gaozhi into the Wang family. He now knew that you get what you pay for, but what good was regret now?
Village Chief Ma's eyes were darting around; he wanted to find his pipe and beat this man to death. Mushroom Village was definitely out of the running for this year's model worker award. The village had produced a conman and opportunist, and now he was calling himself a model worker? How dare he?
She searched and searched but couldn't find it. Mrs. Ma asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"
"Where is my tobacco pipe?" Village Chief Ma asked.
“It’s right here in your hand,” said Ma Da Sao, pointing to his hand.
Village Chief Ma looked down and, sure enough, it was in his hand. This bastard had made him furious.
He swung his pipe and struck Wang Gou Dan. Wang Gou Dan knew something was wrong when he heard him looking for the pipe, so he immediately turned and ran away. He was incredibly fast.
Early the next morning, Village Chief Ma rushed to the town. As the village chief, he had to step in when something happened to the villagers. He kept cursing the Wang family in his heart, saying they were troublemakers who could do nothing but cause trouble and were good for nothing. Not a single good person in the whole family was good.
Finally arriving at the police station, the captain recognized Village Chief Ma and immediately stood up to greet him warmly, even pouring him a cup of hot tea to warm his hands.
Village Chief Ma was grateful and explained his purpose. The brigade leader shook his head regretfully: "Comrade Ma, this matter is not under our jurisdiction. There are specialists in charge of it."
Village Chief Ma is someone who frequently travels to the town, so of course he knows which department it is. He is extremely reluctant to go, but since he is the village chief, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and go.
When they heard that he had come to ask about this matter, they didn't even bother with politeness and just said, "You're in for a beating."
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Ma was so frightened he almost jumped out of his skin. "No way!" he thought. He quickly pulled out a cigarette he had bought for 28 cents and handed it to the village chief. "Comrade, I'm the village chief. I'm the only one who can ask about the situation when the villagers have problems. Please give me a straight answer so I can explain things when I get back."
Upon seeing the Pegasus cigarettes, the man nodded inwardly, thinking the man was sensible, and casually asked, "What's your name?"
Upon hearing that there was a chance, Village Chief Ma immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Wang Erniu from Mushroom Village."
Upon hearing the name Wang Erniu, the man became furious. He remembered that Wang Erniu was a seller of malted milk powder. If Wang Erniu had given him the malted milk powder and some of the money he had paid for it, he would have let him go.
But this guy just wouldn't let go of the malted milk powder and the money, and he was the kind of guy who wouldn't let go no matter what. If I didn't arrest him and send him to jail for a few years, I would feel bad for stealing his malted milk powder.
"At least three years. Go back and wait." The man smiled sinisterly.
As soon as Village Chief Ma heard this, he knew there was no need to say more. If the other party couldn't remember anyone's name at all, then there was still hope, but remembering it was too much trouble, so he should save his energy.
Village Chief Ma stormed back. He was going to have a chat with the Yan family and also tell Yan Xiaoqiang to feed the pigs a couple more times to increase their weight. The model worker was sure to be promoted, but the pig-raising expert couldn't be allowed to.
As soon as the village chief entered the door, Grandma Yan knew why he had come. Judging from his appearance, he must have just returned from town. His trip to town must be for the Wang family's business.
"Beinan, Beinan, quickly make your village chief a cup of piping hot malted milk powder so he can warm it up," Grandma Yan called out.
Bei Nan quickly grabbed a cup and ran to her grandmother's room. Malted milk powder was her grandmother's special food, and it was kept in her grandmother's room. She poured two large teaspoons of malted milk powder into boiling water, and a sweet aroma spread. The aroma dispelled the anger of the village chief, and his mood calmed down.
Sipping the sweet malted milk powder, Village Chief Ma sighed, wondering why the villagers of Mushroom Village lived such different lives. Look at Sister-in-law Yan, wearing new clothes, drinking malted milk powder, and her hair is even starting to turn black. As for Old Lady Wang, she's paralyzed in bed, relying on others to take care of her, sometimes eating a meal and sometimes not, just waiting to die.
"Village Chief, what brings you here today?" Grandma Yan asked.
Village Chief Ma finally remembered the purpose of his visit and told Grandma Yan everything that had happened in town. He then sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, there's definitely no model worker in Mushroom Village this year. We can only let Qiangzi try his best to become a pig-raising expert."
Grandma Yan nodded repeatedly. When faced with such a situation, the only thing to do is to try to gain honor, otherwise the villagers of Mushroom Village would be too ashamed to show their faces.
After Village Chief Ma left, Bei Nan quickly hugged Grandma Yan and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I will never go to the black market again. Actually, that idiot Wang Erniu could have just given the malted milk powder and money he had to the person who arrested him when he was arrested."
Grandma Yan wholeheartedly agreed. That's just how people are; those with short-sighted vision will never seize opportunities.
Village Chief Ma was going to the Wang family again. When he told Wang Gou Dan the news, Er Niu's mother rushed out of the house and hugged Village Chief Ma's leg: "Village Chief, you have to save my Er Niu! He can't go to jail!"
Village Chief Ma disgustedly pulled his leg away: "Your Erniu has been to prison before. He should take responsibility for his own actions. What can I do?"
But Erniu's mother was determined to stand up to Village Chief Ma. Her legs went weak, and she knelt down in front of Village Chief Ma, kowtowing: "Please, Village Chief, save my Erniu. He is my only son."
Upon seeing this, Wang Gou Dan also knelt down in front of the village chief. His only son couldn't be harmed; this prison meal was completely different from the last one.
After thinking for a moment, Village Chief Ma asked, "How much money do you have left? If all else fails, you'll have to buy your way in."
When money was mentioned, neither of them spoke. All the money in the family had been spent on food because of Pan Gaozhi, that jinx. Erniu's mother stood up and rushed straight to Pan Gaozhi's room.
"You jinx, hand over the money! You need money to save your man, so hurry up and give it to me!" Erniu's mother's hysterical curses rang out.
"Mother, all my money has been taken by Wang Erniu. I don't have a single penny left." Pan Gaozhi really didn't have a single penny left.
"I'll beat you to death, you jinx! You killed my Erniu, you slut!" Erniu's mother was about to strike.
