At night, in a dark place in the village, if someone suddenly talks, it is always easy to scare people, and it is not just the person who gets scared.

Ever since that incident, everyone has basically no good impression of the Du Zaide family, and their attitude is no longer as blindly respectful as before.

These changes were very obvious, and Du Zai De felt them very clearly, but this realization was also difficult for him to accept.

He felt that he had already reflected on himself and did not go out to burn incense and pray for the village. He thought that without his leadership, this group of people would definitely be leaderless and would not be able to make their own decisions on big or small matters.

Later on, they would surely be unable to bear it and would actively call him out to take charge of matters, but he sat and waited, and no one ever came to call him, as if they had forgotten about him.

It turns out that everyone has indeed forgotten that they have a village chief.

There are so many things to do every day, who cares what he thinks.

"We were just taking a normal walk. If you were scared, you can only say that you have something to hide. If you were honest, why would you be scared?"

What a fallacy! Why didn't they find Du Zai De annoying before?

"Shen Zhizhu, is it you? Why are you awake so late at night and gathering everyone together? Is there something that cannot be discussed during the day? Why must you do it in the dark and in such a far place?"

He felt that these people never came to him to ask questions or make decisions, and it must have something to do with Shen Zhizhu, otherwise why would they gather here in the dark, with Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan in the crowd.

He looks like a leader.

"Don't forget, I'm the village chief!"

Shen Zhizhu didn't quite understand the other party's thought process. They just had something to talk to him about. What did it have to do with whether he was the village chief or not?

But the other party was targeting him intentionally or unintentionally, and Shen Zhizhu was not one to be offended by the temper, so he immediately turned away.

"Yes, yes, everyone remembers the village chief who cheated everyone out of their money."

Du Zaide's face turned as pale as a pig's liver. This little girl really wouldn't accept even a little loss. If he said one word to her, she would have ten more words waiting for him.

Just as Shen Ai Qiu said, she was a sharp-tongued person who would always fight for every penny. Such a person was a threat to him. On the one hand, he hoped that Shen Zhizhu would pass the exam as soon as possible, but on the other hand, he didn't want her to have a bright future by being admitted to university.

"We just came out to chat, but you still interfere with our chat. You are really nosy."

Some uncles were already dissatisfied with the way Du Zai De spoke. It was clearly them who were here to block Shen Zhizhu, so why did Du Zai De keep staring at Shen Zhizhu and even push the blame on a little girl?

They probably felt that the young couple didn't have any elders to speak with in their family, so they could bully them. When they thought about it, they instantly felt distressed.

"Go take a walk. You're always finding faults as soon as you show up. Why didn't I notice that you, a grown man, are always nitpicking? You always pick on young couples and bully them. You're not ashamed at your age."

"Some people have bad morals, so they think others are the same as themselves. People with dirty eyes see everything as dirty."

Du Zai De was left speechless. It had been such a long time since that incident happened, why did they always bring it up?

"This matter is all in the past. What's the point of bringing up the past? I have stayed indoors, eaten vegetarian food, worshipped Buddha, and prayed for our village. Why are you still treating me like this?"

Shen Zhizhu's shameless words to him made people laugh.

"The reason for bringing up the past is because of that incident. The police have let it go, but the villagers have not let it go yet. After such a long time, if you really wanted to apologize, you could have come out and helped everyone with some farm work, or sent some vegetables and fruits you grew yourself. You didn't even say sorry verbally, but just stayed at home alone, locked the door, and did nothing. Who would know whether you were really praying? Even if you were deceiving us, we couldn't see it. It's just that you were afraid of being criticized by others, so you stayed indoors."

Shen Zhizhu spoke out what was in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel angry and embarrassed.

"Shut up, how can a girl like you understand my way of doing things? Xu Haonan, this is the good wife you married? Elder Jinghe retorted."

Xu Haonan actually quite liked watching Shen Zhizhu quarreling with others. A few casual words from her could make the other person so angry that he jumped up and down. It was really fun.

How could he help Du Zai De?

"My wife is wrong. Besides, there are only two of us in my family. There is no one who pretends to be the elder or actually suppresses our elders."

"Well done, Haonan. A man should protect his wife like this. You have the demeanor that your uncle used to have. Hahahahahaha."

Shen Zhizhu said that this was very nice and nodded proudly.

"That's right, my husband is the best in the world."

Everyone surrounded Shen Zhizhu and his wife, talking and laughing, and protecting them. It seemed as if Du Zaide was the bad guy. This made him very angry, and his heart ached.

"You, you think I am not worthy of being the village chief. You discuss everything with Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan. Do you still think I am the village chief? Over the years, I have worked hard for the village, even if I have no merits. Is this how you treat me? Is Shen Zhizhu behind you? Is she trying to be the village chief?"

He fell into Du Manjun's arms, his voice was filled with grief, and I thought someone had done something to him.

"Oh my, come on, you are such a big boss, crying and making a fuss. There was a disturbance in the Xiaozhu store, and they have been busy until now. Everyone is worried about you, so they came here to wait for you. Look at your mind, you are so small."

Shen Zhizhu was also speechless. How could he feel that he was interested in the position of village chief?

"Don't worry, I have no interest in your position as village chief."

Du Manjun was acting weird on the side. He felt uncomfortable seeing Shen Zhizhu was so popular. The girl who used to be humble and always kept her head down when she talked or walked has now become bright and generous. She is not at all stage-frightened even when surrounded by so many people.

As if she was supposed to be like this.

"Humph, who knows if you are just saying it, we don't know what you are thinking, you are always pretending."

Du Manjun still hasn't gotten used to it. The man who used to chase after him and make socks for him when he was not doing well, now doesn't even take him seriously.

She thought that all the previous things were just pretend by Shen Zhizhu, and that the real her now was the one who hooked up with Xu Haonan, a rich and reckless man, and she looked down on him. She really deserved to die.
