Chapter 9 The Widow Knocks
The widow's surname is Chang, Chang Guifen. In her youth, she could be considered a beauty in the nearby area. In fact, she is not very old now, only thirty-five years old, and she has a sixteen-year-old daughter who resembles her in her youth.
Li Fanding directly interrupted her, his lecherous eyes scanning her up and down. "Guifen, don't you know what I want? Are you playing games with me? What does that even mean?"
In the village, there is a widow, well, actually a living widow, as her husband is bedridden. They share the surname Li, and their relationship is not distant, having not observed five degrees of mourning. In order to take good care of her husband, she also wishes to earn some money. Even if she lacks strength, someone still needs to cook a meal or bring water, right
Isn't it better if the two daughters take care of him together? Chang Guifen felt a bit hesitant, but she really couldn't bring herself to say it.
To speak frankly, he believes that Li Fanding is indeed not worthy of Xiao Juan. Setting aside age and seniority, the disparity in their appearances is also quite significant
The city dwellers are all quite cunning, and Chang Guifen is aware of this. However, asking for help one more time is not a big deal. Moreover, that Chen village head is fair-skinned, tall, and robust. If she had to choose, she would rather let this city boy have his way with her.
The village chief is trying to take advantage of us," Chang Guifen gritted her teeth and bravely spoke up, "You must ensure justice for my daughter and me. Just look at my Xiaojun, what a good girl she is!
Recently, Chen Taizhong has felt a bit bored; there is not much happening in the village, and life is exceedingly monotonous. The village committee does have a black-and-white television, but it has been broken for four or five years. The long nights are endless and lonely
When the opportunity comes again—despite his lack of emotional intelligence, Chang Guifen is also a peasant woman—both of them understand in their hearts that this opportunity may never come again
Isn't my family's dog going to be driven to death by anxiety?
But he may not even have an interest in her!
Moreover, Li Fanding is vulgar and unattractive. Just the thought of this dark and ugly uncle of hers lying on top of her and writhing makes Chang Guifen feel an indescribable disgust.
Therefore, many villagers wish to repair the road; however, it is regrettable that Li Fanding does not intend to deploy all the labor force
Saying this, Chang Guifen pulled her daughter, who was huddled behind her, over and said, "Call Chen Ge."
There is nothing much, just... the family is poor and lacking money, I want to go repair the road, but the village chief dislikes me because I am a woman. Chang Guifen's eyes flickered, not daring to meet Chen Taizhong's gaze
Doing so is somewhat inappropriate, he couldn't help but recall the time he joked with Ziling, wondering, "Could it be that he was just saying it casually?"
Recently, I happened to come into a bit of money, sending half to my parents, and I still have five thousand left. I am contemplating whether it is time to purchase a color television for the village committee
Although no one has ever seen an official repairing a government office, Chen Taizhong is not an ordinary person. In the eyes of the celestial beings in the heavens, the Renminbi is merely paper. Indeed, it is just paper, at most, it is simply paper that is resistant to being washed.
Chang Guifen left the village chief's house in a gloomy mood. Fortunately, a close sister reminded her, "Guifen, isn't there a new deputy village chief in the village? He's a city kid, maybe he has a kind heart."
For those who fund the project, road construction is a costly endeavor, while for the villagers living by the river, it represents a rare opportunity in their lives to receive substantial financial support for household expenses.
If Deputy Village Head Chen is willing, today I can have my daughter Xiaojun give you a foot massage. Starting anything is difficult, and now that the words have been spoken, Chang Guifen is not afraid to say even more explicit things. How about I give you a foot massage?
The man confined to bed has already exhausted all the family's savings, and he continues to impose a burden on this fragile household, leaving the widow without money
With this thought in mind, Chang Guifen decided to give it another try. Upon careful consideration, she still felt somewhat uneasy. As if compelled by an unseen force, she took her daughter, Xiao Juan, along to seek out Chen Taizhong.
He is quite happy because he can once again cultivate his emotional intelligence. At this moment, if he wishes, he could tirelessly practice for thirty to fifty years, which would definitely be sufficient for him to ascend again. However, due to his insufficient emotional intelligence, he is hesitant to take significant action, and this truly troubles him.
"Not yet, come and sit," Chen Taizhong quickly gestured, "Guifen, why are you coming so late? Is there something... going on?"
How could Chang Guifen not know what this village chief is thinking? However, according to common sense, Li Fanding is the clan uncle of Shuanzi, engaging in that kind of thing is not akin to cheating?
However, the village is poor; how could the villagers possibly be affluent
Looking at the little girl's face on m.hetushu.com, it was so red that it seemed to be bleeding. Chen Taizhong sighed and said, "I say, Guifen, you don't need to do this. How about this, when the opportunity arises, I will help you speak on your behalf."
Covering my feet? I possess celestial power, so running around in the middle of winter without clothes is no problem. Chen Taizhong was stunned for a moment before he realized, uh, is this sending a woman for me to sleep with?
This is how people are; once they have a certain thought in their hearts, they will subconsciously conceal it. Moreover, she has always adhered strictly to the principles of womanhood and has never engaged in any improper conduct.
He was pondering when Chang Guifen led her daughter in, "Hehe, Deputy Village Head Chen, you haven't rested yet?"
The number of people who can participate in road construction is limited; this is one aspect. On the other hand, Village Chief Li also intends to take this opportunity to demonstrate his own value.
What a joke! How could he possibly take a liking to these two? This guy doesn't sleep with women unless it's for dual cultivation; if he does, it must be with two at once. Does he want to take advantage of me? Gain some celestial energy? Not a chance!
In fact, she is being overly modest; she is in her thirties, with large, sparkling eyes and fair, smooth skin. She hardly resembles a country girl. When she wears beautiful clothes, she looks even more like a model than a model herself. No wonder the village chief and the - figure - book would take an interest in her.
Well..." Chen Taizhong elongated his tone, sizing up Chang Guifen with his eyes. In this cold winter month, why is this woman dressed so lightly? "Tsk tsk, if Village Head Li says that, I suppose I can't say much, can I?
This is not the most pressing issue; the serious problem lies in the fact that this village chief acts with complete impunity. According to past practices, even if she reluctantly agrees to him, it won't be long before Li Fanding moves the village chief's office to her kang.
The term "扒灰" is something Chen Taizhong understands, but what he does not comprehend is the relationship between Chang Guifen and Li Fanding; he merely assumes that Li Fanding has taken a liking to Xiao Juan
Certainly, the village is poor, and Village Chief Li's aspirations are not high. Two chickens or around fifty to sixty eggs would be sufficient. The village chief mainly considers whether someone has the intention. Of course, if someone can contribute thirty to fifty yuan, that would be even better.
Is it close to Li Fanding? Well, that's easy to say; even a boy at home who is thirteen or fourteen years old can go. If the relationship is just average, one must inevitably bring some gifts to show respect to the village chief.
Chang Guifen brought about ten eggs and, mustering his courage, went to find Li Fanding. "Uncle, our family is poor, and we only have this little bit of stuff. For the sake of Shuanzi..."
