Yu Bing pursed her lips to hide her smile. After she ran into the house and was about to close the door, she saw that Yao Nian wanted to follow her in. She held the rolling pin in her hand and pressed it against Yao Nian’s shoulder as she slowly said, “You’re here to thank me for saving you, right? You’re welcome! I’m going to bed now. You should go back.”

Without waiting for Yao Nian’s reaction, she closed the door and locked it before entering the house.

Yao Nian frowned as he stared at the tightly shut courtyard door in fury. Yu Bing was completely unpredictable. It was supposed to be the hero saving the damsel in distress, but the plot was completely different now.

Yao Nian could only return to the forest to pay them first. But after he went to the forest, the two hooligans would want him to pay more than the agreed amount. The reason was that they had agreed that they would only appear to scare her. In the end, Yao Nian added a beating scene at the last minute. This wasn’t in the script.

Hence, the two of them demanded more money. Yao Nian was afraid of revenge, so he didn’t dare to refuse.

!!

In the end, he paid twice the agreed price.

Yao Nian had suffered a double loss, but he also confirmed Yu Bing’s indifferent attitude towards him. A gloomy look flashed across his eyes.

The next day was Wednesday. At three o’clock in the afternoon, the entire village gathered on the rice field in front of the village committee. The five leaders represented by President Song came to the commune.

The seven candidates waited to go on stage to give their speeches. After the villagers voted, the top three candidates were Liu Bao, Wu Jin, and Zhao Gui.

Liu Bao’s speech revolved around the current state policy and how to carry out the tasks assigned by the country more effectively.

As a female candidate, Zhao Gui’s speech was about how to increase the enthusiasm of the villagers and obtain greater harvests in agricultural activities.

Wu Jin was more pragmatic than the first two. The central theme of his speech was simple and crude. He hoped to create a new countryside and improve its people’s living standards in the long term!

However, when the votes were announced, Yu Bing was still a little surprised. She truly realized the veracity of Xiao Sheng’s words. “If Uncle Jin had participated in the election for the village chief back then, Sun Wang would have had nothing to do with the position!”

The entire village had 693 votes. Wu Jin had 356 votes, which accounted for half of the votes.

After the results were out, President Song concluded the meeting and said that the commune would have a period of observation for the candidates and would officially issue the appointment notice next Friday.

After the meeting ended, Yu Bing was led to the stone bench beside the public noticeboard by President Song.

Yu Bing looked at President Song in confusion. “Are you looking for me, Uncle Song?”

President Song smiled gently. “Yes, I saw that you voted for Wu Jin too. You’ve only been here for a few months. I’m a little curious why you chose him among so many people.”

Yu Bing didn’t know why President Song would ask her, but she still expressed her opinion truthfully. “I think Uncle Jin is a compassionate person. Although I haven’t been here for long, I’ve heard about some things the Wu family and Uncle Jin have done. There’s no doubt about his character. His past experience has also made his horizons and outlook different from those who have stayed in the village for their entire lives.”

“I believe that he will definitely be able to lead the villagers to build a new countryside with higher living standards. Moreover, I admire his moral code!”

With that, Yu Bing asked President Song, “Uncle Song, you also know about the Wu family’s righteous deeds, right?”

President Song was born and raised here, so he naturally knew. “I know. The Wu family is a famously benevolent family in Jiangning County.”

Yu Bing smiled at President Song and said, “Uncle Song, I think if Uncle Jin is elected, he will definitely be a good village chief. Firstly, the possibility of him being corrupt is too low. After all, a greedy person will not do anything to help others. Moreover, I think many of Uncle Jin’s ideals are the same as yours. You guys are both practical people. He is also a soldier and is very efficient! In conclusion, I think you can really consider Uncle Jin.”

“Of course, the other two are also very outstanding, but from their speeches, I believe you can see the limitations of their horizons and grasp of the overall situation. I can only say that among the three candidates, Uncle Jin is the best choice.”

When President Song heard this, he glanced at Yu Bing. He had specifically looked for Yu Bing to talk about this after the meeting ended because he admired Yu Bing and wanted to listen to her opinion.
