Chapter 155 A Fight
"You've finally arrived!" The young widow rushed forward with her people, holding up her ballot and saying, "Give us the money right now!"
"Yes, if you give us the money, we'll choose you; otherwise, we'll all choose Liu Qiang!"
The woman in the floral cotton-padded jacket was the first to grab Zhang Aijun, saying, "Give us the money right now! We agreed on ten yuan per person, not a penny less."
Zhang Aijun began to sweat, surrounded by the sharp voices of women pushing and shoving him; some even reached into his pockets.
The young widow was a scoundrel. She rummaged through Zhang Aijun's pockets several times and then reached into his chest pocket, but she didn't get a penny, let alone ten yuan!
"Zhang Aijun!" The young widow shoved him suddenly and said, "Where's the money? Where did you put all the money? You don't have a single penny, and you still expect us to do things for you?"
"You're not planning to use us for free and then not pay us, are you?"
"Sisters, wait a minute!" Zhang Aijun took a step back. "Why don't you vote first, and I'll give you the money after you vote?"
Everyone looked at Zhang Aijun with eyes full of hatred, as if they wanted to devour him. "What if we vote for you and you don't give us money?"
“Zhang Aijun, didn’t you say before that we’d give the money first, then vote? Everyone in Jiangjuntun knows that.” Liu Nian said quietly from the side, “Now you want people to vote first? Aren’t you treating people like fools?”
Liu Nian was standing behind Liu's family members, all looking at Zhang Aijun with a mocking expression.
"We're not going to do something that loses us any money!" The young widow spat on the ground. "Hmph, if anyone dares to mess with me, I'll tear them apart!"
"If you don't have money at home, don't come out pretending to be rich! You think you can fool us? Humph! Do you think we're all idiots?"
One by one, the fierce young wives spat at Zhang Aijun and reached out to block him, making him unable to move.
"Can you guys hurry up?" The village committee members looked at Zhang Aijun impatiently. "It's freezing cold, can't you just finish this already? We've been waiting here to serve you, haven't we?"
Zhang Aijun looked around helplessly. Why wasn't anyone from his Zhang family coming to help him? What were they all doing?
"I said I'd give it to you, and I definitely will! Don't worry," Zhang Aijun said with an ingratiating smile, looking at everyone. "Why don't you vote first, okay?"
Liu Nian gave another cold laugh, "You make it sound nice, but what if you don't pay in the end? Wouldn't that mean everyone's money went down the drain?"
She quickly set the tone, fearing that the crowd might let Zhang Aijun off the hook.
The young widow glanced at Liu Nian and immediately echoed his words, "Yes, what if you don't give me the money?"
"You need to produce something before we believe you!"
Zhang Aijun tried to turn and run, but a group of people blocked him, preventing him from moving.
It's all Zhang Bingtian's fault! What a terrible idea! Left with no other choice, Zhang Aijun finally said, "If I don't give you the money, I'll take out my house deed!"
They've fallen for it! Liu Nian smiled and gave the young widow a wink.
The young widow immediately nodded and said, "In that case, we'll believe you!"
"Let's go, I'll go first!" she said, and walked into the village committee with her ballot.
Immediately, some people followed the young widow. These people were thinking, "We're not afraid that Zhang Aijun won't pay. If he doesn't pay, let's see who gets anxious in the end."
Zhang Aijun breathed a sigh of relief, but only for a moment. The people who had finished voting surrounded him again, as if afraid he would run away.
Where are their family members?! Zhang Aijun felt numb all over, not knowing what to do next.
Judging from their attitude, if he didn't give them money, these people would eat him alive. Zhang Aijun regretted it; he should have known better than to listen to his father.
"Girl, what if they all vote for Zhang Aijun?" Zhang Suzhen was still a little nervous. Watching wave after wave of people go in to vote for Zhang Aijun, she was unsure of what to do.
