"Sister-in-law, are you home?"
After pushing open the door, Hu Xiaobei asked gently!
"Xiaobei, I'm home!"
Hearing the slightly hoarse voice, Hu Xiaobei quickly walked into the room.
In that instant, Hu Xiaobei saw Guo Meiyu sitting on the bed, her face pale...
Sorrow...
Looking at Guo Meiyu's pale face, Hu Xiaobei felt very heartbroken...
Without hesitation, Hu Xiaobei quickly walked over to Guo Meiyu!
Seeing her reddened eyes, Hu Xiaobei felt even more heartbroken, "Sister-in-law, you...are you alright?"
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's question, Guo Meiyu gently shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law is fine!"
"Still saying you're fine? If you're fine, why does your expression look so awful?"
"I really am fine now! Oh, and Xiaobei, thanks for before! If it hadn't been for you, I'd really have been in trouble!"
"Sister-in-law, you don't need to be polite with me! And they came back for you because of my responsibility too!"
"What are you talking about! Keep rambling nonsense, and sister-in-law will beat you up!"
"Sister-in-law, would you really bear to do that?"
Hehe, with a smile, Hu Xiaobei cheekily moved closer!
In that moment, Hu Xiaobei's gaze fell upon her fair bosom...
Seeing Hu Xiaobei staring straight at her chest, Guo Meiyu huffed in a low voice, "Bear to, indeed, I'd rather just kill you, little bastard, and then no one would spend all day thinking about taking advantage of me!"
"Sister-in-law, you can't blame me, you're just too beautiful!"
Praising her, Hu Xiaobei sat down beside Guo Meiyu!
"Sweet talker!"
After rolling her eyes at Hu Xiaobei, Guo Meiyu spoke softly!
After the repeated incidents before, Guo Meiyu knew that Hu Xiaobei really liked her, and this made her very happy because she found that she also really liked this little bad egg...
...
"Ah, it seems I've come at a bad time!"
Hearing the teasing chuckles, Guo Meiyu and Hu Xiaobei turned to look and saw Su Xueying looking over with a smiling face, instantly making them feel somewhat shy.
Seeing their slightly embarrassed looks, Su Xueying walked over with a laugh, "Alright, I made some soup earlier; let's all have some together!"
While saying this, Su Xueying gently placed the thermos she was carrying onto the table beside…
After glancing at the white thermos, Guo Meiyu said softly, "I think I'd better not drink it!"
After giving Guo Meiyu a look, Su Xueying said softly, "Why? Afraid I poisoned it?"
"Not at all, it's just that I can smell a sour scent from sitting here! I think there's too much vinegar in it!"
When Guo Meiyu mentioned vinegar, Su Xueying quickly said, "What are you talking about! It's a sweet soup, there's no vinegar in it at all!"
"That's odd, then! Why do I smell a sour scent, could it be someone's jealous?"
Knowing she had fallen into the trap Guo Meiyu had laid, Su Xueying put her hands on her waist and said huffily, "What are you talking about! I'm not jealous at all!"
"Really? There is no silver here, three hundred taels!"
"You... I'm not talking to you anymore!"
While saying this, she huffily ladled the soup...
Sitting to the side, Hu Xiaobei smiled as he watched the two women teasing each other, because at that moment, he felt that Guo Meiyu had truly recovered her cheerfulness again...
...
After having the soup, Hu Xiaobei asked Su Xueying to stay and chat with Guo Meiyu for a while, before he briefly stepped out...
After he went out, Hu Xiaobei looked at the bustling scene in the village and was super happy, knowing that the village was truly on the right track now!
Just as he was enjoying the moment, Hu Xiaobei heard someone calling him!
After turning his head, Hu Xiaobei quickly said, "Hello, Uncle Four!"
"I'm not doing as well as you! You, young man, have really done a great job with our village!"
"Uncle, this... this isn't just my achievement!"
"I think it is just your achievement! By the way, when will you have time to come over to my place? I'll have your aunt cook a meal, and we can have a good drink or two!"
"Okay!"
After agreeing readily, Hu Xiaobei watched him walk away!
Hu Xiaobei knew that he alone had changed the village, so now everyone in the village felt very grateful and were very polite to him!
...
When he got home, Hu Xiaobei was startled!
Because at that moment, Hu Xiaobei saw several village elders drinking tea in the courtyard!
"Xiaobei, you're back!"
Hearing their greeting, Hu Xiaobei quickly said, "Yes! Hello to all the grandpas!"
"Don't be so formal with us, and don't be nervous, we're not here to accuse you of anything!"
"That's right!"
Hearing this, Hu Xiaobei relaxed a little!
But Hu Xiaobei still felt unsure, as he didn't know why they were there!
Seeing that Hu Xiaobei was still nervous, an elder said softly, "Wang Dagui used to be our village chief, but now Wang Dagui is no longer our village chief. There's a saying that a village cannot be without a leader for a day, so after discussing among ourselves, we've decided to ask you to be the village chief!"
"What?"
Hu Xiaobei jumped up in shock!
He had never expected them to make such a request!
Seeing Hu Xiaobei's shocked expression, they said, "Xiaobei, don't be afraid, this is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Young man, you must seize it!"
Hearing this, Hu Xiaobei responded with a wry smile, "But I am too young!"
"Being young isn't an issue!"
"Right, right!"
"You'll learn in time!"
Listening to their unanimous encouragement, Hu Xiaobei waved his hands, "Still, it won't work! I really can't do it!"
Hu Xiaobei knew he truly couldn't be the village chief, because he couldn't be trapped in Xiaohe Village forever!
"Uh..."
Seeing that they were ready to continue persuading him, Hu Xiaobei quickly said, "Of course, even though I can't do it, I can recommend someone to you!"
"Who?"
Looking at their curious faces, Hu Xiaobei teased, "I won't tell you for now, I need to ask her opinion first!"
"Okay then, you ask first!"
"Right, make sure to ask properly! And think it over yourself too, we still really prefer you!"
"Alright then!"
After sending them off, Hu Xiaobei smiled bitterly and rubbed his nose!
He knew he really couldn't be the village chief...
At that moment, the departed elders gathered, and one of them sighed, "It seems Xiaobei really doesn't want to be the village chief!"
"Yes! But he said he would recommend someone, I wonder who he'll choose!"
"Not sure, but what should we do? Shall we go with the person he recommends?"
"Yes!"
Hearing the question, the eldest among them spoke very seriously, "We definitely should! The village's development now entirely relies on Xiaobei. If we want to continue improving, we'll need Xiaobei's help, so we naturally have to maintain a good relationship with him!"
Hearing this, the others nodded gently, "That's true, even though we don't know who Xiaobei will recommend, it must be someone he has a good relationship with. So by agreeing to this person as village chief, we're tying the village to Xiaobei!"
"Yes! That's the reasoning!"
While the elders were having this conversation, Hu Xiaobei left his residence. Soon, he stopped in front of a courtyard gate, looked around a few times, and then lightly knocked on the black wooden door...
