It is true that any major event in the village is generally decided by voting.
Just like the college student quota from two years ago, it was selected by villagers’ voting.
At that time, there were several educated youth who had graduated from high school and also participated in the election, but when the villagers voted, they first excluded the educated youth.
The votes of the educated youth who participated in the competition were cast by other educated youth, and not a single vote was cast for them by the villagers.
That’s why the educated youth felt that whether there were places for university students or not had nothing to do with them.
As for the village chief's nephew being chosen, it was entirely because the surname Chen was the most common.
Just like Aunt Chen Si’s family next door to the Ye family, they are also relatives of the village chief.
Therefore, the village chief's nephew received the most votes and was able to study at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
Now the educated youth have proposed that the villagers vote on whether to let Li Fuyong come back, which is completely in line with the village convention.
Accountant Li said with a straight face, "There's no need to do this. If this can reduce the impact on the village, the villagers will definitely be happy!"
No matter what, what Li Fuyong did cannot be made public!
Once it is announced, not only will Li Fuyong be unable to live in the village, but all those with the surname Li will be pointed at by the villagers!
Li Wenyuan also realized that once the fact that Li Fuyong had drugged the villagers was made public, they would think carefully about it.
Because this matter involves the villagers' own safety, the villagers who feel afraid will stand on the side of the educated youth.
After all, if there is someone in the village who would drug and harm others at will, everyone would have to think twice!
Li Wenyuan ignored Accountant Li's evasive remarks and went straight to the village chief, saying, "Village chief, we only have one request right now. And according to village custom, any undecided issue requires a vote by the villagers. We're simply making this request according to custom. Once the villagers understand the whole story, we'll accept the village's final decision! Otherwise, no matter how much you say, it'll be in vain!"
"Village Chief, please think about this carefully!"
"As for your request that we stay in the village for three days for the safety of all of us educated youth, we cannot agree! We've heard that the glove factory in town will be hiring tomorrow morning. This opportunity is very rare for us, so many of us plan to take the exam!"
It has come to this point, there is really no need to continue to worry about the recruitment information!
Li Wenyuan simply announced the recruitment news openly.
The village chief was indeed choked by the question of asking villagers to vote on Li Fuyong.
There’s no time to keep this matter of Li Fuyong secret!
Where can it be announced?
If other villages knew that there was a person in their village who could poison others, their entire village would probably become famous in the surrounding villages!
Then the reputation of their village would be ruined like the stinking ditch!
Then, as the village chief, if he goes to the commune to attend meetings or do anything else in the future, he will definitely be criticized by people from other villages!
Why do these careless people do such immoral things, and in the end it is him, an old man, who has to bear the blame?
Mr. Li did something immoral, so why should Mr. Chen take the blame?
The village chief is feeling very miserable!
He really was just dragged here!
Accountant Li was thinking of a plan when he heard Li Wenyuan reveal that they were going to take the job exam together. He immediately thought of a plan and scolded them, "Great! You're planning to collectively evade labor! Did the village allow you to skip work en masse to take that job exam?"
Li Wenyuan was not afraid at all: "We are absent from work, and the village can deduct our work points as much as they want! We are free to go wherever we want, and we don't need your consent!"
Anyway, things have come to this point, they absolutely cannot back down now.
Anyway, whether it is deducting work points or criticizing by name, it doesn’t matter anymore!
They must take part in this recruitment exam!
Accountant Li shouted angrily, "You have no organization or discipline! Believe it or not, the village will report your absence from work to the Educated Youth Office!"
"Oh! You sound so high-sounding. You really went to great lengths to rescue your nephew, Li Fuyong! You went to such great lengths to save him, aren't you afraid he'd betray you? For example, where did the drug package Li Fuyong was planning to put in come from? Is it related to you, Accountant Li?"
"Oh, right! They are from the same family. Who knows if they are colluding?"
"That's right! Accountant Li, you're jumping around like this, are you trying to cover up your crime? I think we should report it to the Public Security Bureau and have them send officers to investigate!"
"You! You're talking nonsense!" The educated youths talked about all kinds of possibilities, which made Accountant Li very angry!
In the end, both sides parted ways unhappily!
Accountant Li was so angry that he strode away angrily.
The village chief remained silent from beginning to end. Only after seeing Accountant Li leave did he slowly leave with his pipe in his mouth.
Seeing that the two men finally left, the educated youth finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm afraid Accountant Li won't let it go so easily!" Gu Weiliang reminded.
The educated youth also knew that Li Fuyong was someone's nephew after all. In rural areas, sons and nephews were considered direct blood relatives, so they had to fight together when fighting with other families.
In fact, as early as when they called the police and had Li Fuyong arrested, they had already made enemies with Accountant Li's family!
