Don't worry, did your dad put it away? I'll go back and check on Zhuzi first." Liu Xiaohua said and left with her son.
"Let's go. I have to wait for Ye Li to come out. I have something to discuss with her." Zhuzi's mother squatted under a tree outside the brigade. She wanted to talk to Ye Li about her clothes being bitten by rats.
"Zhu Zi's mother, please wait. I heard from San Wang that Ye Li and the others can't come out until they have lunch."
"No matter what, I'll just wait. I can't eat until this matter is resolved." Zhuzi's mother waved her hand and asked the people who were traveling with him to go back first.
In the meeting room of the brigade, the village chief, Ergou and Gensheng kept urging several staff members to drink. The incident of Qingshan Village being reported was covered up, and everyone was in a good mood.
Ye Li and Jiang Xun didn't drink alcohol. Instead, they drank water and ate the delicious chicken stewed in an iron pot.
"Here you go." Jiang Xun put a chicken leg into Ye Li's bowl.
"Not bad, you even snatched a chicken leg for me." Ye Li joked. As soon as the two chickens were served on the table, the chicken legs and wings were snatched away by everyone. She didn't expect Jiang Xun to be able to snatch a leg for her.
"This is what Sanwang secretly left behind, specially for you." Jiang Xun was just about to pick up a piece of meat for Ye Li, but he didn't expect that the staff members were so quick and took away all the good meat.
...
...
Just when he was disappointed, Sanwang secretly came to Jiang Xun with a bowl and asked Jiang Xun to pass it to Ye Li who was sitting inside.
"I have such treatment? That's great. Better than the village chief's treatment." Ye Li couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the tempting chicken legs in the bowl.
"Yes. Your reputation in the village is now higher than that of the village chief. Everyone is counting on you to help them get rich." Jiang Xun found that the villagers were getting better and better to Ye Li this time. Although he was happy in his heart, he felt a little uneasy.
"Don't say that. I don't have that much ability. It's not just my credit that I can make a fortune. It's the result of everyone's concerted efforts." Ye Li was very clear-headed. Her goal was to make money and improve her current life. She didn't pursue other things.
"Yeah, I know. Eat it quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold." Jiang Xun urged.
Ye Li cut the chicken leg in the bowl into two halves and gave a piece of meat from the chicken leg to Jiang Xun.
"You eat too. You've done a lot today, repairing the machine and accepting the investigation for me." Ye Li smiled at Jiang Xun, her eyebrows curved into crescents, looking very sweet and lovely. Jiang Xun's heart skipped a beat.
If it wasn't in front of so many people, he would have hugged Ye Li and kissed her hard. Thinking of this, Jiang Xun quickly shook off the thoughts in his mind so that no one would notice his abnormality.
"You eat it. You can feed three people by yourself. By the way, you must have been prepared for this. You were so calm just now." Jiang Xun thought of how Ye Li was not panicked at all when he saw those staff members and was very calm.
"Aren't you very calm? Gensheng was so anxious that he was jumping up and down, but you were still tightening the screws slowly?" Ye Li did not answer Jiang Xun's question directly, but asked him a question in return.
"Well, when I saw the look on your face at that time, I knew that this matter would definitely pass."
Hearing Jiang Xun's words, Ye Li smiled and nodded. It seemed that they were getting more and more in sync with each other.
"Ye Li, Jiang Xun. You should also use water instead of wine to toast the senior leaders." The village chief was already red-faced from drinking. His own alcohol tolerance had reached its limit, so he asked someone to get a few staff members drunk.
"good!"
Jiang Xun and Ye Li drank a few glasses of water with a few staff members, which was considered to be a good companion for them. Everyone drank so much that their faces were flushed and their speech was slurred.
"Okay, we...it's time to go..." The leading staff member stood up and staggered away.
"Sanwang, find a few young men to send the leaders off. Don't forget to prepare some local specialties for the leaders to take back!" The village chief is worthy of being someone who often deals with leaders above him, and he can guess these people's little thoughts very well.
Although the clothing issue has been resolved, we can't let the leaders go back empty-handed. Otherwise, they will have to come back to check next time. It will be a lot of work just to deal with these people every day.
"Okay! Village chief, I will definitely do everything you ask me to do beautifully."
Sanwang said and went out. After a while, several young men followed Sanwang back. Several people carried the drunk staff away, and each staff member was given a large woven bag of mountain products.
After everyone left, only the village chief and Ye Li and his wife were left in the meeting room. The village chief was a little excited after drinking. He held Ye Li's hand tightly and said, "Ye Li, you are the lucky star of our village. We will all follow you in the future! Look at how promising the lives of the villagers are now. I dare say that within two years, every family in our village will become a millionaire!"
"Village chief, your words are too harsh. I am just doing a small thing. It is my honor to help everyone improve their lives. I dare not be a lucky star. It is definitely not up to me to make every family in Qingshan Village a millionaire. It depends on the leadership of the village chief and the unity and cooperation of all villagers."
"Ye Li, you are so capable at such a young age. I, the village chief, really admire you..." The village chief began to mutter non-stop, while still holding Ye Li's hand, which made Ye Li a little embarrassed.
"Village Chief, we all follow your leadership. You are the beacon. The whole village is listening to you and devoting all our efforts to production. It is thanks to you and everyone else that we didn't betray Ye Li and me today."
Seeing this, Jiang Xun calmly pulled Ye Li's hand away and held the village chief's hand tightly.
Seeing Jiang Xun's actions, Ye Li pursed her lips and smiled secretly.
"Village chief, you drank a lot today. Let me take you home." Jiang Xun said as he pulled the village chief and prepared to leave.
"No... I'll go to the office next door to take a nap. I have something else to do in the afternoon..." The village chief opened his eyes hard, but his eyelids wanted to close uncontrollably.
"Okay. I'll help you. Li Li, wait for me."
"Go now."
Jiang Xun sent the village chief to the next door and hurried back to pick up Ye Li. Originally, he was planning to have lunch at his uncle's house, but he was delayed by such a scene.
Just as the two were walking back, they heard the sound of people arguing in Yangshu Beach ahead.
"Xiaoguang, go get me a rope. I'm going to tie her up and send her to the police! She even stole things in my house! She's simply risking her life!" Liu Xiaohua said as she grabbed the thief who stole the clothes and slapped him in the face, knocking his sunglasses off and onto the ground.
"You dare to hit me! I'll fight you!" Hao Ying said as he started fighting with Liu Xiaohua.
"Why do you say that I stole the clothes? I picked them up from the ground. I shouted several times but no one answered, so I put the clothes away. You just started beating me without asking any questions. You are such a shrew!" Hao Ying shouted while grabbing the other person's hair and pulling it hard.
