Xiao Changsuo stood like a statue in front of the courtyard, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
Back in the day, their family was incredibly successful! They had two workers in the family, and he himself was the village head. With such a family background, their living conditions were the best in the entire village.
Even the family of the highly respected former Party Secretary couldn't compare to his in terms of living standards.
However, his fate took a sudden turn after he offended Xiao Weiguo.
Since then, their family's situation has steadily deteriorated.
First, both of her sons were fired and lost their stable jobs.
Subsequently, due to his character flaws, he was ruthlessly stripped of his position as village chief.
Even more despicable was the shocking scandal that occurred in the family—the eldest brother-in-law eloped with his sister-in-law!
Once the news spread, it instantly became a topic of conversation and a source of amusement for people.
From then on, Xiao Changsuo felt like a rat crossing the street, with people pointing and gossiping about him wherever he went.
Especially when he goes out, he always feels that the eyes of the people around him are full of contempt and ridicule, as if everyone is whispering about his family's shameful secrets behind his back.
Now, even as the most important annual Spring Festival approaches, Xiao Changsuo has no face to face his ancestors.
In previous years, he would lead his whole family to the ancestral graves to pay respects to their ancestors during the Lunar New Year. But this year, he was too ashamed to show his face, fearing that his ancestors in the afterlife would blame him for being an unfilial descendant.
He hated Xiao Weiguo to the core, believing that all the misfortunes and disasters were caused by Xiao Weiguo, this idle and good-for-nothing good-for-nothing.
However, what is frustrating and infuriating is that Xiao Weiguo is no longer the same person he once was; his power and influence are now far beyond what Xiao Weiguo can contend with.
Let alone someone as insignificant as him, even high-ranking leaders in the city and province have to lower their status and treat Xiao Weiguo with utmost respect when they meet him.
Faced with such a powerful opponent, he was completely helpless and powerless. What could he possibly rely on to compete with Xiao Weiguo?
However, things are different today.
In his view, this was purely a matter of his own internal affairs. Even if Xiao Weiguo had extraordinary abilities and could manage many things, he couldn't possibly interfere in other people's affairs indefinitely.
If Xiao Weitian really dares to act so recklessly, then he will be completely determined to fight Xiao Weiguo to the death, even if it costs him his old life.
After all, I'm already on the verge of starvation, so what else is there to fear?
It's all just a worthless life anyway!
Thinking of this, he suddenly turned around, glared fiercely at his youngest son who was cowering behind him, and shouted angrily.
"What are you all standing there for? Go knock on the door!"
