"Uncle Village Chief, do you know about what's going on in our village?"
The village chief said with a proud look, "I wouldn't dare say 100%, but 70% or 80% of them know that there are many people in the village, and everyone has their own stories. If you put two families who don't get along together, it will definitely be bad for our village's production. There's a lot to learn about this."
Gu An'an agreed with this view.
"I heard that Party Secretary Wang Xiaojuan is dating someone from the commune?"
The village chief immediately nodded, "Yes, they were classmates before, they got together after graduation, and they're getting married after the autumn harvest."
"Do you know what that boy's name is?"
Fearing a sty, Gu An'an hadn't looked at what the two people looked like, and now she could only recognize their names.
"What's your name?"
The village chief racked his brains and finally found the key information in a hidden corner, "It seems his surname is Zhang, but what's his given name? Ugh~ what's wrong with my brain? I can't remember it!"
"Could it be that his name is Zhang Yuan?"
The village chief was surprised. "Yes, his name is Zhang Yuan. How do you know that, Gu Zhiqing? Did Xiao Juan tell you?"
He was about to praise Gu An'an for being capable, not only for her excellent work skills but also for maintaining harmonious relationships in the village, when he heard Gu An'an say, "It wasn't Xiao Juan who told me, nor was it anyone else in the village who told me."
The village chief was stunned by her words. "Did you just run into him at the commune?"
"Um."
When the gossip started involving someone she knew, Gu An'an thought for a moment and decided to meddle.
Although she hadn't known Wang Xiaojuan for very long, she could tell that she was someone who had been pampered by her family since childhood, and was innocent and romantic.
Besides, what she despises most are scumbags who play with girls' feelings, so how could she let such a person succeed?
"What's wrong? Is something the problem?"
Gu An'an wasn't one to meddle in other people's business. If there was nothing wrong, she definitely wouldn't bring it up. But then she thought about how her old brother only had this one daughter, and if something happened to her, it could cost them their lives.
"Gu Zhiqing, just tell me what's wrong. Don't worry! Just tell me what happened, and I'll take care of what to do next."
The village chief's words were exactly what Gu An'an was thinking. After all, she wasn't very familiar with him. If she rashly went over and accused Zhang Yuan of having ulterior motives, she would be beaten up by a love-struck girl.
But if this matter were handed over to the village chief, everything would be a different story.
Putting aside his position as village chief, his relationship with the Party Secretary's family is something I can't compare to, and his words carry more weight.
Gu An'an recounted what she had heard, which made the village chief so angry that his face turned red. "Outrageous! Do they really think our Xiaowang Village has no one left?"
"He can't marry her! He absolutely can't marry her! Xiao Juan is a good catch and well-educated. If that brat hadn't beaten her to it, he wouldn't have had a chance. How dare he treat the people of our village like this? I'll kill him!"
Seeing that he was truly angry, Gu An'an offered a few words of comfort.
"I know that if I get sick from being upset by that kind of person, I'll be the one who suffers."
Since the other party knew what was going on, Gu An'an didn't say anything more. The matter was settled, and her mission was considered complete.
As soon as the car stopped, the village chief told Gu An'an to take the package and go back first. Then, ignoring the villagers who came up to ask questions, he went straight to the village secretary's house.
"What's wrong with the village chief? Didn't you receive the money?"
"Impossible. He wouldn't treat Gu Zhiqing so well if he hadn't received the money. There must be something else going on."
"What could it be? Shouldn't the most important thing right now be to explain things clearly to us and put our minds at ease?"
“I think you all spoil them. You don’t allow people to have urgent matters to deal with first? Don’t worry about village affairs. The village chief will definitely give us an explanation. Just wait.”
"Exactly, use this time to go back and get things done, instead of crying about having nothing when you get orders."
There are still many people who are clear-headed; they were calmed down before they could even say a few words.
"Third brother."
As the village secretary was starting a fire for his wife, he muttered to himself that the village chief hadn't returned yet and he wondered how things were going. Then he heard the village chief's voice and instantly perked up.
"Ah Cai, you're back? How did it go? Did you receive the money? Is the amount correct?"
The village chief quickly nodded, "They all match. I've already put them away and will retrieve them when we need them for future development."
The village secretary was immediately delighted upon hearing this, "Great, great, great! Have dinner here tonight, and we two old brothers can have a couple of drinks to celebrate."
The village chief had no interest in drinking and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Save the wine for later. I'm here now because I have something to tell you. Is Xiaojuan home?"
The village secretary couldn't figure out why his good friend wanted to see his daughter, so he didn't ask any questions and simply called his daughter over from the vegetable garden in the backyard.
"Uncle, you wanted to see me?"
Looking at the smiling Wang Xiaojuan, the village chief couldn't help but sigh. He knew that telling the truth would definitely hurt the child, but he still had to say it.
"Xiaojuan, is your boyfriend's name Zhang Yuan?"
Wang Xiaojuan nodded.
"Do you know someone named Sun Yingdi?"
Wang Xiaojuan was bewildered by his question, not understanding why the village chief would suddenly bring them up. "I know her. Sun Yingdi is also my classmate, but she only attended for one semester before her family stopped letting her continue."
The two names matched, and the village chief knew that the matter was definitely not wrong.
"Xiaojuan, what I'm about to say might be hard for you to accept right away, but I hope you can be strong."
His solemn demeanor not only frightened Wang Xiaojuan, but also the village secretary's family.
"What's wrong, Ah Cai? Don't scare me!"
"Yes, what's wrong with our Xiaojuan? She hasn't even left the village these past few days."
Xiao Juan's mother was the quickest to think. "Brother, could it be that something happened to Zhang Yuan?"
With everyone's eyes fixed on him, the village chief could only briefly explain what had happened.
"Third brother, we can't let people bully Xiaojuan like this anymore."
Wang Xiaojuan never expected that when she was happily waiting to get married, her fiancé would be seeing someone else behind her back. She staggered a couple of steps, but luckily her sister-in-law caught her.
"That bastard dares to bully my Xiaojuan! I'll chop him up!"
The village party secretary and his son were about to head to the commune when the secretary's wife stopped them.
"Old man, don't be impulsive. Even if you rush over now, you might not be able to catch those two bastards."
"What do we do then? Are we just going to let that kid get away with it like that?"
The Party Secretary's wife shook her head, her eyes filled with hatred. Then she turned to her daughter, "Juan, what do you think about this? Do you still want Zhang Yuan?"
