After looking at the villagers, the village chief said, "Those who have tried the footprints should stand on the left, and those who have not tried them should stand on the right."
In Xinghua Village, the village chief's authority cannot be violated.
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, the villagers stood up as required.
Only three people did not move, which seemed extremely abrupt.
Mrs. Wang was unwilling to give in and wanted to make another fuss, but was stopped by Wang Lai.
As Wang Po is a woman, the village chief will not mind too much, but he cannot do that. From now on, whether it is cleaning the river or digging the reservoir, he will have to participate, and he cannot be lazy.
What if the village chief takes revenge and assigns him to do heavy work?
So when Wang Lai saw that the village chief was angry, even though he was tempted by the ten taels of silver and Li Lingling, he had to give up the idea.
When his mother wanted to find the village chief, he stopped her in time.
"Mom, can't you see that the village chief is angry? Let's stop making trouble, okay?"
"Son, who am I making such a fuss about? It's because of you, the debt collector."
"Yes, yes, it's all my son's fault, but there's no reason for us to make a fuss anymore. What if I really cross the village chief's line and he wants to make things difficult for me?"
"He dares."
"How do you know the village chief doesn't dare? The village chief has the final say on everything in the village. We can't do anything about it."
No matter how reluctant Wang Po was, she had to put aside her reluctance.
In just a moment, all the villagers lined up.
Seeing that it was Wang Pozi and the other two again, the village chief's face darkened and he said unhappily, "If you don't want to stay in the village, you don't have to listen to the village chief's arrangements."
"Village chief, no, no, we'll stand right here, right here."
"No, let's start with the three of you. Wang Lai, you go first."
Wang Lai heard the village chief speak, and dared not disobey, so he raised his feet and walked towards the footprints.
He had just taken two steps when Liu grabbed his arm.
Wang Lai turned his head and saw a look of horror on Liu's face. He said with disgust, "You bitch, why are you pulling me? Are you itching for trouble?"
Liu stammered and wanted to say something, but when she heard Wang Lai's words, the scenes of being beaten in the past came to her mind, and she immediately let go of his hand.
Wang Lai pulled his arm out of Liu's hand and walked towards the place where the footprints were.
At this time, all the villagers looked at Wang Lai's feet and found that the footprints on the ground overlapped with Wang Lai's shoe prints.
Not only did the villagers not believe it, even Wang Lai thought it was fake.
Wang Lai quickly retracted his foot, shouting, "Impossible! This isn't mine! This isn't mine!"
"Wang Lai's evidence is irrefutable. What else do you have to say?"
"Village Chief, it wasn't me. It really wasn't me. I don't know how to respond."
The village chief had been annoyed with Wang Lai since he came to the village. Not only was he lazy and gluttonous, he also often beat Liu.
What he despised most in his life was this kind of coward who blamed all the problems on his wife and children when he had no idea what was going on.
Although he couldn't stand Wang Lai beating Liu, even though he was the village chief, he couldn't interfere in other people's family affairs.
Besides, in rural areas, it is common for men to beat women. He has no ability to stop it, so he can only turn a blind eye to it.
But he really didn't expect that Wang Lai would not only take advantage of his work to make money, but also dare to harm the entire village.
He was not lying at all. The waterwheel and bamboo pipes were indeed related to the lives of the entire village.
You know, without water, crops cannot grow in the fields.
If we can't harvest any food, everyone will have nothing to eat, but we can still hold on until the cold winter comes.
