If Yun Que'er had a hammer in her hand at this moment, she would have unhesitatingly smashed it onto Ji Chengxuan's head.
She had been trying hard to get along well with Ji Chengxuan. Sometimes, she even thought he wasn't that annoying. However, this guy could be really shameless when he wanted to. She couldn't remember how long ago she had set the goal of punching him in her heart.
Ji Chengxuan seemed completely oblivious to Yun Que'er's cold hatred. He buried his head and wolfed down his food.
After finishing one bowl, Ji Chengxuan looked up at Yun Que'er and gave her a silly smile. He let out a thunderous belch and then filled another bowl of rice.
Yun Que'er rolled her eyes. She suddenly discovered that Ji Chengxuan had a stupid side.
Old Doctor Ji had been busy until late at night. When he got home and found his son missing, he remembered to go to the Yun family to pick him up. Then he was warmly invited by Yun Fujin to sit down and have something to eat.
"The village head has been saved," Old Doctor Ji said. "But he can't be called the village head anymore."
He sighed. "Fortunately, the pesticide in his family had expired, so he's okay. After drinking some concentrated salt water to induce vomiting, he came to."
Yun Que'er listened silently on the side and nodded slightly.
Ji Chengxuan leaned over. "Don't you hate the village head very much?"
"I do hate him, but I didn't want him to die either," Yun Que'er shrugged. "Now that he's in this state, he won't be able to stir up any trouble. And I think he must have realized his mistake, or he wouldn't have suddenly tried to commit suicide."
Ji Chengxuan nodded. "That's true. But..."
He winked at Yun Que'er. "The village head has really calmed down. There will be a new village head to take over the work later. But do you think some people will be willing to accept this?"
Yun Que'er clearly understood that the person Ji Chengxuan was talking about was Liu Kui.
The village head had finally fallen from power. When a new person came, whether it was an upright one or someone similar to the previous village head, in any case, with his example, the atmosphere in the village would definitely change a lot.
Then wouldn't Liu Kui, who had benefited greatly during the village head's tenure, also be finished?
"Would he dare to take revenge on me?" Yun Que'er said. "He used to have someone covering for him, but now he doesn't. If he causes trouble, there will be no one to back him up. He'd better not dare."
"I'm just afraid he'll make some small moves in secret," Ji Chengxuan said. "If you can't find any evidence, you'll still suffer losses."
Yun Que'er frowned and thought carefully in her heart. If Liu Kui was really not willing to accept this, what would he do?
At this moment, Liu Kui, who was being remembered by the two of them, was in the village head's house.
The village head's wife was crying sobbing, and she couldn't even speak clearly.
"Brother, it's really you. You're the only one in the village who came to see us."
Liu Kui was too lazy to listen to this woman crying in front of him. He waved his hand.
"Sister-in-law, you can go out first. I have something to talk to him about."
The village head's wife wiped her tears. "Okay, you two old brothers can have a good chat."
After the village head's wife went out, Liu Kui frowned in disgust.
It was already this time, and she was still calling them brothers.
People's memories were really short. How could she forget so quickly how she had bossed him around a few days ago?
Moreover, wasn't everyone mainly driven by interests?
Now that the village head had lost his most core competitiveness, who would still call him brother?
Liu Kui came here just to confirm one last thing with the village head.
The village head was lying half-dead on the bed, his eyes wide open, staring blankly at the ceiling covered with old newspapers in his house.
It was not clear whether he was aware that Liu Kui was sitting beside him. Anyway, he always maintained that dull state and never turned his head.
Liu Kui was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He got straight to the point.
"You were taken away for investigation a few days ago. What did you tell the people above?"
The village head remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard.
Liu Kui immediately said, "You old bastard! Didn't you sell me out?"
The village head finally blinked his eyes. When Liu Kui saw this, he immediately flew into a rage.
"Damn it!" Liu Kui roared. "Did you confess me to save yourself!"
Only then did the village head slowly turn his head and look at Liu Kui with a blank look in his eyes.
"What good would it do me to confess you..." the village head said mechanically. "Would I tell them that I gave you a lot of favors and make my own crime even worse?"
The village head let out a bitter smile. "If I had said that, I wouldn't have been able to return to the village intact. Instead, I would have gone straight to jail."
Liu Kui looked at him in disbelief and continued to press him.
"Tell me the truth! Did you say it or not?"
There was even more bitter sarcasm in the village head's laughter. "You believed me when I lied to you, but why don't you believe me when I tell you the truth?"
"When did I lie to you?" Liu Kui frowned tightly. He even wanted to grab the village head's neck and make him pour out all the words at once.
When did this village head start to drop bombshells one after another?
"Didn't you lie to me too?" the village head retorted. "But I can swear on my conscience that I lied to you for my own sake, but I never damaged your interests by a single cent. You don't have to hold on to these things. Because even if you want some compensation, I can't give it to you. There's only one thing. I didn't tell them about your over - raising of pigs secretly. I'm old. Maybe I won't live for a few more years. I just want to live a good life."
Listening to what the village head said, there was a bit of sincerity in it.
Only then did Liu Kui breathe a sigh of relief slightly, but he warned again.
"You old bastard! You'd better not let me know that you've betrayed me. If anything happens to me in the future, I'll never let you off!"
The village head sneered. He had never seen through the warmth and coldness of human relationships before, but now he suddenly saw through them.
The people he looked down on had never harmed him. On the contrary, the people he had always trusted had caused him endless harm.
The village head really didn't want to pay attention to Liu Kui anymore.
Of course, Liu Kui also didn't want to talk to the village head anymore. People without any use value deserved to become discarded chess pieces!
He stood up and turned around to leave, but suddenly thought of something and turned back again.
"Village head, no, I shouldn't call you the village head anymore. Let me call you Lao Zhang."
If the village head had the strength to care about these things now, he would have been really angry to death by Liu Kui.
"What else do you want to say?" the village head asked weakly.
"I found that your mentality has been getting worse and worse since you stepped down."
Liu Kui folded his arms and looked at the village head contemptuously.
"You've been tricked by the Yun family so many times. Are you just going to let it go like this?"
