Liu Xiu had returned. He stayed in Qinling for five days and collected everything he could before returning to Shiqiao Village. Li Yun was the most excited about Liu Xiu's return. These days, he had been very depressed. He called Liu Xiu no less than three times a day, as if he was paying his respects to him in the morning, noon, and evening. Every day, the questions were the same, and Liu Xiu's answer was the same. He still had things to do and would only be back in a few days.
"Village Chief Liu, you're finally back. If you hadn't come back, I wouldn't have been able to live.”Li Yun immediately rushed to Liu Xiu's house and cried.
"Really?" Liu Xiu asked with a smile.
"It's true." Li Yun nodded seriously. He had been scolded every day these few days. The one who scolded him was not anyone else but his father. That was fine. Since he was young, he had long developed immunity. However, the disdainful eyes of the village leaders and the mocking expressions of the villagers almost made him break down.
"Secretary Li, you should have said so earlier. If you had said so earlier, I would have come back later.”Liu Xiu's words stunned Li Yun. He now felt that Liu Xiu was not only hateful, but also shameless.
"Village Chief Liu, let's not joke around. Shouldn't we go see Ma Zhixian first?”Li Yun suppressed the anger in his heart and asked calmly.
"Why do you want to see Ma Zhixian?" Liu Xiu asked.
"He's here to invest. Shouldn't we meet him?”Li Yun asked.
"Then do you know why he chose to invest in Shiqiao Village?”Liu Xiu asked again.
"Because of the five-colored roses." Li Yun felt that Liu Xiu was a little silly. If it wasn't for the Five-Colored Rose, who would come to this place where birds don't even shit?
"Then Secretary Li, do you think there are other five-colored roses in other places besides my Shiqiao Village?”Liu Xiu asked with a smile.
"No, I haven't." When Li Yun said that, his expression couldn't help but pause. He seemed to have understood a little, but his intuitive concept made him somewhat confused. He asked,"Village Chief Liu, what do you mean?"
"If I remember correctly, this is the second time that Ma Zhixian has come here. The first time was to purchase the Five-Colored Rose, and the second time was to build a flower base in our Shiqiao Village. This shows that the Five-Colored Rose is very attractive to him. In other words, he has a clear goal and is here for our things.”Liu Xiuyi analyzed and asked.
Li Yun couldn't help but nod his head. He suddenly understood, but then he understood something else. It seemed like he was scolding him. He had been wandering around Ma Zhixian these days. Wasn't that equivalent to calling him a lapdog? But he couldn't say it out loud, nor could he refute it. He could only admit it and comfort himself with the words " it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge."
Liu Xiu was very relaxed. He walked around the mountain and looked around the construction site. The day was over. At night, when the door was closed, the Five-Colored Domain was in chaos. The Green Mountain Domain was so rich now. If there were more large ferocious beasts, the entire natural paradise would be full. Liu Xiu knew where to find large ferocious beasts, but no one had the ability to get them. Stealing rare wild beasts seemed to be a serious crime.
Shiqiao Village was as happy and harmonious as ever. In the morning, they would pick and sell mushrooms. In the afternoon, the men would work at the construction site. The women would chat and chat. Most of them were talking about their magical little village chief. Looking at the changes in the village and outside, everyone knew that their Shiqiao Village was about to prosper and soar. This phrase was often used on television, so they remembered it.
After two days of leisure, Ma Zhixian didn't come, but Liu Xiu's superior, the township head, Song Zhongping, came. When Song Zhongping came, he asked in an unfriendly tone,"Xiao Liu, what's wrong with you?"
"What do you mean what happened?" Liu Xiu asked in confusion.
"Chairman Ma came to your Shi Qiao Village to invest, and this is your attitude?”Song Zhongping was stunned for a moment. He was furious in his heart. The village chiefs of the dozens of villages under his jurisdiction were like mice seeing a cat when they saw him. However, Liu Xiu actually dared to ask him back. His wings had really grown!
"Then what do you think my attitude should be, Village Head Song?”Liu Xiu asked in a bad mood. He hated to see people who sounded like slaves when they heard that they were foreign businessmen.
"You, you…" Song Zhongping was furious. He glared at Liu Xiu and roared,"If you can't keep Ma Zhixian's investment, I'll teach you a lesson.”
"To tell you the truth, Village Chief Song, we are not interested in his investment. There is no extra land in Shiqiao Village for him to build a flower base. He can invest wherever he wants.”Liu Xiu said bluntly. Shiqiao Village was his private plot of land, and no one could touch it.
Song Zhongping was so angry that his eyebrows were trembling." I think you don't want to be the village chief anymore, right?”
"That depends on Village Chief Song. If there's nothing else, please leave.”Liu Xiu was even more impolite and directly ordered him to leave. The other party wanted to dismiss him, so what else did he have to say to him? In this situation, there was no difference whether he was the village chief or not. Li Yun was just a decoration.
Song Zhongping was furious. A village chief actually ignored him, the head of the village. This was probably the first time in the history of Lihe County, Qinling City, and even Xiqin Province. If he did not teach Liu Xiu a lesson, he would probably be laughed at.
After returning to the village, Song Zhongping immediately found someone to hold a meeting. He exaggerated Liu Xiu's bad behavior today and explained it. The final result was that Liu Xiu was removed from the village chief position. The notice came very quickly. Song Zhongping arrived at Shiqiao Village in the morning. Just after lunch, Song Zhongping brought people over again, but this time, he was looking for Old Master Liu Changnian.
"Uncle Li, Liu Xiu is too young and doesn't know anything. He doesn't want a good investment. After our discussion, we decided to remove him from the position of village chief. Who do you think is more suitable to be the village chief?”Song Zhongping was still very polite to Liu Changnian.
"Village Chief Song, I watch TV every day and don't quite understand some things. I wonder if you can explain it to me?”Liu Changnian took a puff of his cigarette and asked with a smile.
"Uncle, please speak." Song Zhongping smiled. He knew that this matter would not be easy to resolve. Without Liu Changnian's support, how could Liu Xiu, a little kid and an outsider, cause trouble in Shiqiao Village?
"Our country's leader, the party, talks about all kinds of things every day. You're a party member and a leader, so you should understand better than an ordinary old man. Shouldn't the village chief of our Shi Qiao Village be elected by the villagers themselves?”Old Master Liu Changnian's words directly stumped Song Zhongping. Old people were not confused at all. This big lid was directly pressed down, leaving Song Zhongping speechless. Could he say that the adjustment set by the national leader was wrong or that the party's policies and systems were wrong?
"Uncle! This was a good investment, but he refused it. Wasn't this disadvantageous to Shi Qiao Village?”Song Zhongping could only force himself to say.
"Everyone says that your wife is not good-looking. Then why haven't I seen you divorce her?”The old man glared at him and asked.
"Liu Changnian, I call you uncle because you're old. Don't be so shameless.”Song Zhongping was immediately enraged. There was no need for such a life attack. It was too vile.
"You bastard, you still have the face to get out of Stone Bridge Village.”Old Master Liu Changnian picked up his tobacco pipe and smashed it on Song Zhongping's head. Song Zhongping fled in panic. The matter of Liu Xiu being removed as the village chief also became the decision of the leaders and the disagreement of Shiqiao Village.
The next day, the news of Song Zhongping being beaten up in Shiqiao Village spread throughout the entire Lihe County. There were many versions, and every one of them was said in a logical manner, as if they had seen it with their own eyes. In many versions, Old Master Liu was also replaced by Liu Xiu, who became the official Song Zhongping wanted to remove from office. Liu Xiu brought his men to beat him out.
Liu Xiu could only smile bitterly at the rumors. How could he have the guts to hit the township head? It was illegal to hit people. Only Old Master Liu Changnian could hit people. Not to mention missing, even if Song Zhongping was beaten until his head bled, Song Zhongping could only admit that he was unlucky.
"Little Liu, I can see that these are people who eat people's food and don't do anything. You do your own thing. In Stone Bridge Village, you will always be the village chief.”That night, Old Master Liu Changnian and Liu Xiu sat together. The two of them ate wild game and drank wine.
"Grandpa Liu, you don't have to be angry. It's not worth it to be angry. This is Shiqiao Village, which belongs to the people of Shiqiao Village. This is also my Shiqiao Village. If my friends come, we'll entertain them with wine and meat. If wolves and tigers come, we'll beat them with sticks. The village chief is just an empty title.”Liu Xiu laughed.
"Alright, if friends come, we have wine and meat. If wolves come, we have clubs.”Old Master Liu Changnian shouted in high spirits. He picked up his wine glass and drank it in one gulp. How heroic!
Li Yun was the happiest to see Liu Xiu removed from his post as village chief. However, his gloating didn't last long. Things changed dramatically. This lucky thing became a little confusing. In any case, he couldn't understand. Was Liu Xiu still the village chief? He didn't know. He even asked his father about it. His father pondered for a while and said,""Mind your own business and don't worry about anything else. Whoever becomes the village chief has nothing to do with you.”
No one came to tell Liu Xiu that his village chief had been dismissed, and no one decided who would be the next village chief. Stone Bridge Village did not elect its own village chief. In their hearts, Liu Xiu was the only village chief. Who could build Stone Bridge Village better? No, only Liu Xiu. Therefore, this matter became a joke to Song Zhongping, and it was left unsettled.
Ma Zhixian waited and waited, but he couldn't get a result. He had no choice but to come to Shiqiao Village. The first person he saw was Li Yun. Li Yun, who had bowed to him before, had a drastic change this time. He said," The village chief will be responsible for this. Chairman Ma, go and find the village chief." Then, Li Yun left leisurely.
Ma Zhixian frowned and felt that something was wrong. After a few rounds of questioning, he found Liu Xiu by the river and told him the reason for his visit. Who knew that the answer he got surprised him." Chairman Ma, you're late. If it was a few days ago, I could have given you an answer, but I was dismissed as the village chief a few days ago. I can't deal with this matter anymore."”
"Then I wonder who the new village chief is?" Ma Zhixian was secretly happy. He didn't like to deal with Liu Xiu, so it was good that he was spared.
"I don't know." Liu Xiu's honest words were a little petty in Ma Zhixian's eyes. He gave Liu Xiu a look that said," I sympathize with you." Then, he went straight to the village. However, the answer he got in the village made him dumbfounded. There was no village chief in Shiqiao Village now, so who would be responsible for his matters?
"I don't know." The answer was that he didn't know. Ma Zhixian had experienced the most bizarre thing since he was born. He took the money to invest, but he couldn't find anyone to accept his investment. This was not just a joke, but it happened right in front of his eyes. He could clearly feel that before and now, whether it was from the county or the village, their attitude towards him had changed. To put it simply, they were not as warm to him anymore.
