Uncle Niu called over the village chief and secretary, the two big shots in the village. They both had the surname Niu and were related by blood, so they were practically family. Wang Guilan was no pushover; she certainly wouldn't easily part with the 30,000 yuan and was bound to make a scene. He needed to give the village chief and secretary a heads-up beforehand.
Lunch was cooked by Tie Dan's mother, with Ya Dan and Sister-in-law Niu helping out. The food was delicious, the wine was good, and the cigarettes were good, even more lavish than during the New Year. Niu Dazhu and Uncle Niu Er were not good at talking. Uncle Niu entertained the guests, smoking Zhonghua cigarettes, drinking Wuliangye liquor, and gnawing on pork ribs. The village chief and secretary were beaming and naturally very easy to talk to.
"Drinking soda can ruin your kidneys? Oh dear, I can't let my grandson drink cola anymore. That slut Wang Guilan is a scoundrel, selling poison to the villagers. I'll definitely get rid of her!"
After hearing Junjun and Zhuangzhuang's painful lessons, the village chief was sobered up immediately, and the secretary was the same, filled with regret. Now that conditions are better, the children's food will definitely be given priority. Their grandson also loves to drink beverages and has to drink some every day. Wang Guilan's small shop sells beverages and cigarettes the best, and she makes a lot of money every year!
"How could I say such a thing? Junjun and Zhuangzhuang just went to the hospital. The doctor said it was caused by drinking beverages and it will cost hundreds of thousands to cure them. Sigh, I'm really worried about the money!" Uncle Niu sighed heavily, without mentioning that Zhuangzhuang wanted to have a kidney removed.
He was also thinking of his grandnephew. He had lost a kidney at such a young age. What girl would be willing to marry him and live a life of widowhood when he grew up? He could only keep it a secret and see if he could find a way to get another kidney implanted later.
"Hundreds of thousands?"
The village chief and secretary sobered up in fright and felt uneasy. They started to back down, thinking that Uncle Niu wanted to borrow money from them, so they planned to make up an excuse to avoid it.
"At least 300,000, but we've already raised over 200,000. We're still short a few tens of thousands with Wang Guilan. It's all that good-for-nothing's fault. I plan to ask Wang Guilan for this money back. I'm sure we'll make a scene. I'm letting you know in advance."
The village chief and secretary immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that they didn't ask them for money. They both knew about Brother Niu and Wang Guilan's affair, but they didn't expect Brother Niu to have spent so much money on that slut. Tsk, no wonder Wang Guilan has been wearing gold and silver and living a more and more comfortable life all these years.
"Okay, as long as no one dies," the village chief stated.
The Party Secretary naturally agreed without hesitation. The Niu family would certainly help their own family, and Wang Guilan was just a widow from another family.
With the approval of the two big shots, Uncle Niu was relieved. After a hearty meal, the village chief and secretary were so drunk they could barely walk. They were helped home by Brother Niu and Brother Niu Er, who also brought each of them a bottle of Wuliangye liquor. Everyone was happy.
"Let's get started, head to Wang Guilan's house!"
牛大伯歇了会儿，抄着扁担就出发了，雄纠纠气昂昂的，牛大嫂恨极了王桂兰，偷摸藏了把柴刀，跟着过去了，牛大哥在家坐不住，担心情人出事，想去通知声，又怕挨牛大柱的揍，急得像热锅上的蚂蚁走个不停。
Tang Yuanyuan, full of curiosity, wanted to know how Uncle Niu planned to collect the debt, so she asked Tiedan to stay home and take Yadan to watch the excitement. The small shop was at the end of the village and was also the activity center for the whole village. Every day, many people gathered there to play cards and gossip. Wang Guilan was good at socializing and had won over a group of men, young and old. Brother Niu was just one of them.
"Wang Guilan, you slut, you whore, even a dog wouldn't want your stinking cunt... Pay up!"
