Zhou Laisheng used his parents' refusal to take the medicine as a gamble, which made everyone feel disgusted. Han Qing glanced at Zhou Laisheng and said with a dull look, "Let's go, let him be!"
Looking at the nonchalant backs of the crowd, Zhou Laisheng's old father approached cautiously. Ever since his son came to the county town and took off his straw sandals and changed into leather shoes, he had become more and more arrogant, making his family members very afraid of him.
"Laisheng, why don't you take that medicine?" The old father tried to persuade Zhou Laisheng earnestly, "Even if it doesn't work, there's no harm in taking it."
"What do you know?" Zhou Laisheng said with disdain. "Hu Hongde was originally the head of our Laowan Township. What ability does he have? All he does all day is lead a few stupid dogs to hunt rabbits!"
"And that Su Nian? Even though she's studying outside, it's only been a few days. What can she possibly learn? Two people like that, claiming there's an epidemic in Laowan Township, isn't that just pure nonsense?"
Zhou's father and mother looked at each other and felt that what their son said seemed to make some sense, but every word he said was about Su Nian and Hu Hongde's original identities, as if he couldn't bear to see them living well now!
"Then, in our next life, we won't take medicine. What if what Hu Hongde said is true and we get sick?" Zhou's father was very worried.
Zhou's mother also chimed in, "Yes, no matter what they want to do, it's important for us to prevent the disease!"
Zhou Laisheng's mind was working rapidly. Following his previous train of thought, he became more and more convinced that Su Nian and Hu Hongde were bluffing. Since these two people could bluff others to gain benefits for themselves, why couldn't he, Zhou Laisheng?
Zhou Laisheng suddenly understood. He looked up and snapped his fingers, "Alright, none of us need to take medicine. I'm going to report them!"
Zhou Laisheng thought the matter was very simple. Since Hu Hongde and Su Nian cheated in order to get promoted and advance, then if he exposed the scam of these two people, he would naturally be appreciated by his superiors!
He was a little excited and said a few random words to his parents before going back to the house to pack his things, preparing to go back to the county town to file a complaint and try to expose Hu Hongde's true identity as soon as possible.
Zhou's father and mother were unable to stop him and could only look at their son with worry.
Zhou Laisheng excitedly pushed open the door and left, "I'm going to catch the bus into the city today. If I'm late, the bus will have left!"
There was no regular bus service in Laowan Township. There was a man named Lai Mazi in the village who was very financially savvy. He went to the south to work and earned some money. Lai Mazi used the money to buy a farm vehicle, sealed the carport, and converted it into a vehicle that could accommodate passengers.
Lai Mazi's car is the main means of transportation from Laowan Township to the county seat.
But when Zhou Laisheng rushed to the village entrance, he found that Lai Mazi's car was gone. He was a little anxious and simply went to Lai Mazi's house.
"Stationmaster Zhou," Lai Mazi said politely to Zhou Laisheng, "There are no trains leaving today, and there haven't been any in the last few days!"
"Why?" Zhou Laisheng asked, he had a bad feeling.
"Well," Lai Mazi shook his head, "this was arranged by the village chief. I don't know anything about it, but cars from outside aren't allowed in! I went to the intersection this morning and found it was already blocked!"
If a major epidemic occurred, Laowan Village would definitely be sealed off, but now it is just a scam created by Hu Hongde, so why is Laowan Township also sealed off?
Zhou Laisheng was furious. This was clearly an abuse of power to keep the truth hidden in the village!
He thought about it, walked towards the path, and prepared to catch a bus to the neighboring village and then go into the county town!
