For those who are footing the bill, road construction is a very costly endeavor. For the villagers of Donglinshui, however, it is a rare opportunity in their lives to earn a substantial amount of money to supplement their household income.
Therefore, many villagers want to participate in the road construction. However, unfortunately, Li Fanding does not plan to use all the available labor.
The number of people who can participate in the road construction is limited, on the one hand, and on the other hand, Village Chief Li also intends to use this opportunity to demonstrate his own value.
Those who are close to Li Fanding? That's easy; even the 13- or 14-year-old boys in their families can go. For those with average relations, they will inevitably have to bring something to show respect to the village chief.
Of course, the village is poor, and Village Chief Li's standards are not high. Two chickens or fifty to sixty eggs would be enough. The village chief mainly looks at whether people have the heart. Of course, if someone can slip him thirty to fifty yuan, there would be no problem.
But how can the villagers be wealthy when the village is poor?
There is a widow in the village, well, actually a living widow, whose husband is bedridden. Her husband's surname is also Li, and he is related to Li Fanding within the fifth degree of kinship. To take good care of her husband, she also wants to earn some money. Even if she doesn't have the strength, she can still cook and deliver water, right?
The bedridden man has already spent all the family's savings and continues to add to the burden of this fragile household. The widow has no money.
The widow's surname is Chang, Chang Guifen. In her youth, she was considered a beauty in the surrounding villages. She is not old now, only 35 years old, and she has a 16-year-old daughter who looks similar to her when she was young.
Chang Guifen brought a dozen eggs and mustered the courage to find Li Fanding. "Uncle, our family is poor, and this is all we have. For the sake of Shuanzi..."
Li Fanding directly interrupted her, his eyes leering as he sized her up and down. "Guifen, don't you know what I want? Don't play this game with me. What's the point?"
How could Chang Guifen not know what the village chief wanted? However, by common sense, Li Fanding is Shuanzi's clan uncle, and doing such a thing would be considered incest.
Moreover, Li Fanding is crude and ugly. The thought of this dark and ugly clan uncle moving on top of her made Chang Guifen feel indescribably nauseous.
This was not the most pressing issue. The more serious problem was that the village chief acted without restraint. According to past precedents, even if she gritted her teeth and agreed, it wouldn't be long before Li Fanding moved his village chief's office to her bed.
Wouldn't that make Shuanzi die of anger?
Chang Guifen left the village chief's house in a sullen mood. Fortunately, a close friend reminded her, "Guifen, isn't there a new deputy village chief in the village? He's a city boy, maybe he's kind-hearted."
City people? They are all slippery, Chang Guifen knew this. However, asking for help once more wouldn't hurt. Besides, Deputy Village Chief Chen is fair-skinned and tall. If she had to choose, she would rather let this city boy have his way with her.
But would he even look at her?
Actually, she was underestimating herself. She is in her thirties, with large, watery eyes and fair, smooth skin. She doesn't look like a rural woman at all. In nice clothes, she could even pass as a model. No wonder the village chief had designs on her.
With this thought in mind, Chang Guifen decided to try again. After careful consideration, she still felt uneasy and, almost as if possessed, brought her daughter Xiaojuan to find Chen Taizhong.
Recently, Chen Taizhong has been feeling a bit bored. There isn't much happening in the village, and life is incredibly monotonous. The village committee has a black-and-white TV, but it has been broken for four or five years. The long nights are lonely.
Fortunately, he has recently made a bit of money. He sent half to his parents, and the remaining five thousand yuan, he is considering whether to buy a color TV for the village committee.
Although no one has ever seen an official repair the government office, Chen Taizhong is not an ordinary person. In the eyes of a celestial immortal, RMB is just paper, nothing more than paper, and at most, it is just water-resistant paper.
He was pondering this when Chang Guifen and her daughter entered. "Hehe, Deputy Village Chief Chen, you haven't rested yet?"
"Not yet, please sit," Chen Taizhong quickly gestured. "Guifen, you came so late, is there something you need?"
He was quite pleased because this was another opportunity to cultivate his emotional intelligence. If he were willing, he could cultivate for another thirty to fifty years and definitely be ready for another ascension. However, due to his lack of emotional intelligence, he dares not make big moves, which is quite troubling.
"Nothing much, just... our family is poor and short of money. I want to participate in the road construction, but the village chief thinks I'm a woman," Chang Guifen's eyes flickered, not daring to look directly at Chen Taizhong.
People are like this; once they have a certain idea, they subconsciously try to hide it. Moreover, she has always been a virtuous woman and has never done anything improper.
"Well..." Chen Taizhong drew out his words, looking up and down at Chang Guifen. It was the middle of winter, yet this woman was dressed so lightly. "Hmph, if the village chief said that, I can't really say anything, can I?"
"The village chief wants to take advantage of me," Chang Guifen bit her lip and bravely spoke out. "You have to stand up for us. Look at my daughter Xiaojuan, what a good girl?"
As she spoke, Chang Guifen pulled her daughter, who was hiding behind her, forward. "Call him Brother Chen."
Take advantage? Chen Taizhong understood the term, but he didn't understand the relationship between Chang Guifen and Li Fanding, so he assumed Li Fanding had his eyes on Xiaojuan.
"Doing that is a bit inappropriate," he couldn't help but think of when he teased Zilin. "Maybe he was just talking?"
To be fair, he thought Li Fanding didn't match Xiaojuan at all, not to mention the age and generation gap, and the difference in appearance was significant.
"If Deputy Village Chief Chen is willing, my daughter can warm your feet today," Chang Guifen, having said the word "take advantage," was no longer afraid to speak more explicitly. "Or I can warm your feet?"
Warm feet? With his immortal powers, he could run around naked in the cold winter without any problem. Chen Taizhong was stunned for a moment before realizing, "You mean... you want to sleep with me?"
What a joke? How could he possibly be interested in these two? If he were to sleep with a woman, it would definitely be for dual cultivation. Want to take advantage of him? To get some immortal energy? No way!
Seeing the girl's face turn red as if bleeding, Chen Taizhong sighed. "Guifen, you don't have to do this. How about this, I'll help you when I have the chance."
When I have the chance—though his emotional intelligence is lacking, Chang Guifen is a rural woman, but both of them understood that this chance might never come.
Would it be better if both mother and daughter served him? Chang Guifen was a bit hesitant, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
