Seeing Yun Que'er looking so guilty, Yun Fujin couldn't bear it. He reached out and stroked her head.
"Alright. Since the matter is over, don't think about it anymore." Yun Fujin sat down beside Yun Que'er. "So, the thing you said about the village head buying his position has been exposed, right?"
Yun Que'er nodded carefully, but still had the conscience not to expose Ji Chengxuan.
"Yeah..."
After saying that, Yun Que'er immediately closed her eyes, ready to bear Yun Fujin's anger.
But unexpectedly, Yun Fujin just sighed.
"This village head has been a corrupt official for a long time. It's high time he stepped down."
Yun Que'er looked at Yun Fujin in surprise. "Brother, didn't you just say that we shouldn't learn from the village head's behavior?"
"It's different." Yun Fujin patiently explained. "The village head has been exploiting the villagers for a long time. Some people saw through this and started to curry favor with him, and thus lived a better life. While some families were really poor or didn't want to collude with the village head, they were forced to be bullied by him. As a result, the gap between the rich and the poor in the village has widened, and the atmosphere has become worse and worse. So, it's really time to change the village head."
Yun Fujin looked at Yun Que'er. "You did the right thing this time, but the way you did it was wrong. Don't do this again in the future."
Yun Que'er nodded repeatedly. As long as Yun Fujin supported her in matters of justice, that was enough.

The village head was severely embarrassed. With a bellyful of resentment, he went to handle the matter of distributing land to individual households.
Although Liu Kui was reluctant, in fact, the distribution of land to individual households was also beneficial to him. So, Liu Kui wasn't as angry as the village head. He even went to the village office with a smile on his face to see the village head.
"Village head, you're busy?" Liu Kui came uninvited and sat down boldly on the chair next to the village head.
The village head gave him a fierce look. "What are you doing here?"
"Isn't the land going to be distributed to individuals soon? I was thinking of coming to ask which piece of land my family will get, so that I can make preparations in advance." Liu Kui said with a smile.
The village head was so angry that he almost dropped the pen in his hand. How could this guy still smile? Wasn't it also him who confidently told him a few days ago that it was impossible to distribute the land to individual households?
Now that the matter was exposed, the village head had to bear the responsibility alone, while Liu Kui remained innocent without any blame!
"The land is distributed fairly. Even if you come to ask me, I can't tell you. You'll know when the villagers are notified in a few days." The village head said coldly.
Liu Kui still had a big smile on his face. "Village head, there's no need to hide anything between us. Besides, since it's a fair distribution, it doesn't matter whether it's notified earlier or later, right?"
The village head stared at Liu Kui fiercely. Who didn't know that Liu Kui was trying to take advantage of this opportunity?
However, the village head had suffered a great loss last time, so of course he wouldn't fulfill Liu Kui's wish this time.
"No means no. Why do you have so much nonsense? If you don't want to sit here nicely, just get out!" The village head roared.
Liu Kui's face immediately darkened. Why was this village head so ungrateful?
Even if this time it didn't succeed, there would be next time. Then he would be indispensable as a military advisor.
At present, the distribution of land to individual households was very important. If a good piece of land could be allocated to Liu Kui, the village head could also get more benefits in the future.
But unexpectedly, the village head was being so stubborn. All the meat he had given him over the years was really fed to the dogs!
"I said, village head, you're being unreasonable." Liu Kui said dissatisfiedly. "I'm not the only one who wants to inquire. I saw someone walking out before I came in. Can you say you didn't tell them a single word?"
Of course, the village head had told that person, but that person had given him a bottle of good wine. For the sake of a favor, the village head had to say something.
But the village head was full of resentment towards Liu Kui. How could he tell him so readily?
"I didn't say anything. Don't put words in my mouth." The village head snorted. "Get out quickly and don't delay my work."
This village head really didn't know what was good for him. Liu Kui was very angry.
However, the main reason he came was still to get a good piece of land. Even if he was angry, he still had to be a bit polite to the village head.
Since the village head refused to say anything, he had to give him some benefits.
Suddenly, Liu Kui changed his expression and said to the village head with a smile again.
"Village head, don't be so excited. I know why you're angry, but who could have thought that little girl would really know the inside information?" Liu Kui said, looking meaningfully at the village head. "But then again, the Yun family is so ungrateful and not very efficient at work. Of course, they shouldn't be given good land. Otherwise, wouldn't the land be wasted by them?"
Was Liu Kui still trying to get him to pick on the Yun family?
But the village head didn't buy it this time. He gritted his teeth and said.
"Don't give me any stupid ideas! It was your idea last time, and it made me scolded by the town head! That little girl Yun Que'er saved the secretary of the minister of the Ministry of Agriculture. Before leaving, the secretary specifically told me to treat them well in the future to make up for this mistake. Now you're telling me to give them bad land. Can you bear the consequences if something really happens?"
That little girl Yun Que'er would either cry, make a scene or threaten to commit suicide at the slightest provocation, and there were even people backing her up. The village head simply couldn't afford to offend her, so he had to swallow his anger.
"Although it's true, can they come to the village for inspection every day?" Liu Kui didn't care at all. "Those big leaders are very busy. Besides, she only saved someone once. Can this kindness last her a lifetime? And even if you give them bad land, as long as you explain it well, they have to accept it even if they're not satisfied."
Liu Kui started his long speech again. "There's only so much land in the village. If they're not satisfied, then other people will have to be given bad land. Village head, do you want to offend just one family or more people?"
As he said this, Liu Kui was also a bit annoyed.
Last time, it was the village head's own idea to provoke the conflict between him and the Yun family and allocate his family's land to the Yun family. In the end, neither he nor the village head got any benefits. The work points Liu Kui received last year were also much lower than in previous years, so he had to raise two more pigs and worked hard for a whole year.
On the contrary, the Yun family had suddenly risen to success.
However, it was more important to solve the current problem. Liu Kui didn't care about the past and continued to persuade.
"Just do as I say. I guarantee you can teach them a good lesson."
The village head sneered disdainfully. "You yourself said that they will definitely be unhappy and will cause trouble sooner or later. So why should I look for trouble for myself?"
"Why don't you listen to advice?" Liu Kui sighed. "After the land is distributed to individuals, you won't have the opportunity to control them anymore. This is your last chance to get even."
