“I know. I’ll go to Uncle Village Chief’s house when I return to the village later.”
Since they had agreed on important matters, MO Ruyue didn’t plan to stay any longer. She would talk about other things when she got home.
Gu Ying caught up to them not long after they left.
“You don’t need to worry about the academy anymore. You’re going home
“I’ve already instructed those people what to do. They’re adults themselves. If they can’t even do this well, there’s still Sir.”
After returning to the village, MO Ruyue recalled that she had asked the old village chief to recommend someone to take over his position as village chief. It had been two to three days since he became the village chief, but the old village chief had not come to tell her. He was probably too embarrassed.
MO Ruyue also told Gu Ying that she wanted the old village chief to be the chief of the village and that she wanted to promote another village chief.
Their village was getting bigger and bigger. MO Ruyue felt that it was possible that they would merge the neighboring village into West River Village soon.
Gu Ying felt that MO Ruyue was very thoughtful. Indeed, the old village chief was not young anymore and should not be overworked. Giving him the position of a village chief would preserve his previous identity and allow him to enjoy his old age.
He went home and took some snacks suitable for the elderly, then went to the village chief’s house with MO Ruyue.
The old village chief and his wife saw MO Ruyue and Gu Ying’s warm welcome, and even their son’s face was full of smiles.
In the two days he had been back, he had heard from his parents how good MO
Ruyue and Gu Ying were. He naturally had to befriend such people.
Putting everything else aside, he had to thank her for taking care of his parents.
The village chief’s son first greeted MO Ruyue, then bowed to Gu Ying and called himself a student. Although Gu Ying was younger than him, he was ranked second, and he was just a small scholar.
As the saying goes, attitude determines everything. MO Ruyue and Gu Ying were quite satisfied with his attitude. The old village chief’s son must have a similar personality to him. As expected, after a conversation, both parties were very satisfied.
“Uncle, haven’t you found someone suitable to take your place these past few days?”
“Yes, I do. I just feel that I can’t do a good job as a chief.”
Because of this, the old village chief had been vexed for the past two days.
“There’s nothing that I can’t do well. It’s the same as when you were the village chief. Moreover, it’s much easier than when you were the village chief.”
“If you don’t have a suitable candidate, I’ll choose one myself. When the time comes, our village will not be led well. You can’t blame me.”
“I think the men from Cui Hua’s family are not bad.”
“How can Cui Hua’s family do that? He can’t even manage himself well, so how can he manage the village?
“Between Tie Zhu and Dazhu, lees see who’s willing.”
“I watched those two children grow up. They are young in terms of character and are really more suitable to be the village chief than an old man like me.
That man from the Cui Hua family is not good enough.”
MO Ruyue had deliberately said this so that the old village chief would have no choice but to reveal the candidate he had in mind.
The old village chief was really afraid that MO Ruyue would randomly pick someone who was not suitable to manage the village. If the management of the village turned into a mess, he would be even more vexed.
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?
“Then let’s go and ask for their opinions now. This matter can’t be delayed.”
Now that they had said so much, everyone felt that it was time to look for the two people who were mentioned.
“What is it?”
“I can’t do this, I can’t!”
When Wang Dazhu heard the old village chief’s words, he stood up in shock and waved his hands repeatedly.
Putting aside whether he was suitable or not, he still had to take care of his daughter and son every day. How could he have the time to care about these things in the village? It was fine if he helped out normally, but he definitely did not have the time to worry about it every day. Then, his wife would be left alone at home. She would be exhausted.
At this moment, he could not remember the servant at home at all.
Hence, everyone ran to Wang Tiezhu’s house.
After Wang Tiezhu heard this, his eyes widened as he looked at Wang Dazhu.
“Isn’t my brother a better candidate than me?
“It’s not my turn.”
The few of them laughed when they heard Wang Tiezhu’s words. These two brothers were indeed brothers.
In the end, everyone voted to make Wang Tiezhu the new village chief of West River Village. The old village chief was promoted to the chief of the village. On the same day, Gu Ying accompanied the old village chief and the others to the county town to find County Magistrate Wu. He re-established the identity documents for the old village chief and Wang Tiezhu and stamped them.
To the old village chief and Wang Tiezhu, both of them had been promoted and made a fortune. This was to treat the villagers to a meal.
MO Ruyue had single-handedly made this happen. She had decided to hold a banquet for the entire village at the new inn in the village, and she would pay for it.
The old Village Chief and Wang Tiezhu disagreed, but they could not persuade MO Ruyue.
“The two of you just need to develop our West River Village well in the future.
Just treat it as a celebration for the opening of this inn!”
This time, it was MO Ruyue who sent someone to the old village chief’s house to get a gong. After striking the gong, she announced the promotion of the old village chief and Wang Tiezhu and invited the entire village to a banquet.
It was another day of revelry in West River Village.
That night, something happened at the academy.
Meng Xun had sent someone to inform Gu Ying and MO Ruyue of this matter.
MO Ruyue had wanted to follow him to see the situation, but Gu Ying did not allow her to follow. He could settle it himself.
Gu Ying did not even need to go to the scene to know why those people were causing a ruckus. It was probably because they looked down on their village.
Today, he had to let those people see what it meant to be better than others.
Gu Ying hurried to the academy outside the village. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard the noise from the dormitory.
Hearing the arrogant and despotic voice, he knew that it was those rich kids who were causing trouble.
He really couldn’t understand. Those ministers were quite capable in the court, but they had to throw their useless son to him and ask him to help educate him?
He had rejected them with all his might, but he had shamelessly gone to the emperor to speak up. Otherwise, he would definitely not accept such a person. He was simply a rat sh*t stirring up sh*t.
They had only been here for less than a day. and they were already causing trouble.
He could have chatted with MO Ruyue at home and looked at the moon, but now all of that was ruined by these bastards.
Gu Ying was furious when he thought about how they had ruined his beautiful leisure time.
“Yours Truly has taken a fancy to this place today. All of you, get out of here.
Do you bumpkins deserve to live with Yours Truly?”
Gu Ying followed the voice and found the dormitory that was shouting the loudest. There were many people at the door of that dormitory. There were two students with bruises and swollen faces closest to the door. Moreover, those two students were his favorite.
These two students were called Gao Ji and Zhuo Qing. They were the first two students to help him unload the things from the carriage.
At this moment, the person called Xiong Qiu in the room was the bastard son of the capital’s third-grade Great Xiong family.
Lord Xiong only had this one bastard son and no legitimate son, so he was raised as a legitimate son. However, he only received a low-quality education in terms of material education, which was really in line with a bastard son.
Xiong Qiu was used to being arrogant and bossy since he was young. He often caused trouble by teasing cats and dogs in Beijing, and no one at home could control him.
Lord Xiong had heard from someone that Gu Ying was a capable person who would definitely be able to teach many outstanding talents, so he had stuffed his uncontrollable son into his place.
This Bear Hill was truly a bear ball, causing trouble for him as soon as he arrived..
