As he spoke, he raised his hand and motioned everyone to look at Helian Sheng, and said loudly: "Dongfang Jiu, my sworn brother's son, from now on, is also the fifth in command here!"
Upon hearing this, Duan Qingxi spat out a mouthful of wine.
Oh my god, the village chief’s melon is quite big!
He even dares to call himself the emperor’s sworn brother!
Except for Duan Qingxi, everyone else was stunned. The scene was so silent that one could almost hear the sound of a silver needle falling to the ground.
After a while, the second in command, perhaps because he was drunk or something, slammed the table hard, stood up and shouted angrily, "No! I don't agree!"
The third in command actually agreed with the second in command's opinion, but he thought that the relationship between the second in command and the village chief was already bad enough. If it continued like this, the two of them would really break up.
So he quickly supported the second in command and said, "Second brother, you've had too much to drink."
Unexpectedly, the second in command suddenly shook off the third in command and said, "I'm not drunk! Big brother, you were good in the past, and as your younger brother, I agree with you. But this kid's origins are unknown. He might be sent by the court. We can't leave him here!"
At this time, the fourth in command came again to show his presence.
He said, "Second brother, how come the fifth brother's origin is unknown? Didn't the eldest brother say that this is his sworn brother's son? He is also his son, and he is more than qualified to be the fifth head of our family."
After a pause, he deliberately asked, "Why? Are you afraid that Big Brother will have a successor and will always occupy the position of the head of the family?"
The second in command never thought about it this way. Everything he did was for the good of the copycat.
Hearing the fourth in command slandering him like this, he was so angry that he drew his sword and slashed at him.
Before the knife even came, the fourth in command started shouting loudly and miserably. Those who didn't know would have thought that he was really killed by the second in command.
The third in command hurried forward to stop the man, but the second in command was very strong and ordinary people were no match for him. Even the third in command was unable to stop him at this moment.
At this time, the village chief was angry!
He slammed his palm down on the table in front of him and shouted angrily, "This is outrageous! Who is in charge of this village, you or me?"
The second in command seemed to be more sober and stopped shouting that he wanted to chop people, but he never put away the knife in his hand.
He glanced at Helian Sheng, as if considering whether to kill him with a single blow.
Even if the village chief wanted to kill him later, at least the safety hazard of the village was gone.
But after thinking about it, he gave up this approach.
If this is the enemy's strategy of sowing discord, it will be troublesome.
The third in command was worried that the village chief would start a quarrel with the second in command, so he quickly stepped forward to support the second in command and said, "Brother, the second in command might be drunk. I...I'll help him go back and rest."
Without waiting for the village chief's consent, the third in command directly helped the man away.
The fourth in command had been hiding behind the village chief, looking at the direction they left, with a slight smile on his face, seeming very proud.
But it seems... there is a very strange emotion.
Duan Qingxi saw this scene and couldn't help but lower his eyes in thought.
It seems that this cottage is more complicated than she imagined.
At this time, the fourth leader continued, "Village leader, I think the second leader is just in a bad mood. Let's ignore him and continue."
Hearing this, the village chief's expression looked better. He nodded, then looked at Helian Sheng and was about to continue speaking.
However, Helian Sheng let Duan Qingxi help him stand up and said to the village chief, "Village chief, your intentions are good, and Dongfang appreciates it. However, I can never dream of becoming the fifth leader."
The village chief frowned and was about to persuade him, but then he heard Helian Sheng say, "Whatever the village chief wants, as long as Dongfang can leave here safely, he will naturally offer it with both hands. So the village chief does not need to fall out with the second in command for Dongfang."
