Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The people from the old residence were afraid that Jiang Guoyou’s family would ask them for things. Although Jiang Guoyou’s family was poor, they were ambitious and refused to bow their heads to the old residence. Among Jiang Guoyou’s family, only JiangGguoyou had some affection for the old residence. The others wished they could cut off all contact with the old residence.

“I’d better bring the chicken at home. It’s rare to go to the old residence.” Jiang Guoyou looked at Yang Fen and said with an unnatural expression.

“Jiang Lin just took two rabbits at noon. We also took a lot of desserts this time. It’s more than enough.” Yang Fen frowned. Ever since Jiang Guoyou had broken his leg and lost the ability to work, her attitude toward him had become less friendly. Jiang Guoyou did not say anything, and there was a bit of disappointment between his brows.

“Bring them along.” Jiang Xi suddenly said. The two chickens at home looked too lonely, and it would be good to bring them over. Thinking of this, Jiang Xi said to Jiang Shan, “Third brother, if you have time, expand the chicken cage a little.” After saying that, Jiang Xi put a lot of delicious food in her pocket. Some of them were even wrapped in lotus leaves. The fragrance of the food could be vaguely smelled. It was lotus leaf chicken. These foods were all sent by the Zhao family.

Jiang Guoyou nodded when he heard Jiang Xi’s words. He thought that Jiang Xi was taking these things to show filial piety to her grandfather and step-grandmother and felt a little relieved. However, seeing that Jiang Xi was putting so much food in her pockets he stopped her. “Jiang Xi, that’s enough. Your grandfather can’t eat so much. Your grandfather is very happy that you have such kind intentions. Leave the rest of the food for your fourth brother to take to school. It’s time to give gifts to the teachers during the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

Jiang Xi was stunned. Filial to her grandfather? Why should she be filial to her grandfather? However, following Jiang Guoyou’s words, she quickly threw the matter of her grandfather to the back of her mind and said to Jiang Si, “When will fourth brother return the money he owes me? I’m afraid you won’t be able to pass the exam if you use your sister’s money to take the exam. ”

Jiang Si snorted coldly and ignored Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi was a one-track-minded person. In the past, those people had tried to take advantage of Jiang Xi’s power, but Jiang Xi had dealt with them one by one. Now that she had turned over a new leaf, her character had not changed at all. It was impossible for her to be taken advantage of! Let alone taking her money, no one could even think about taking the wind that blows by her side!

Yang Fen’s face darkened. Jiang Si was now her greatest support, but Jiang Xi actually wanted to destroy Jiang Si? Jiang Xi was getting more and more out of hand. If Jiang Si became successful, as his sister, she would also benefit from him, right?

Thus, the Jiang family was silent. The villagers of the Happy Village found it strange. The Jiang family was usually very united. The four sons each carried out their own duties, except for the youngest daughter, Jiang Xi, who did not do anything and had a strange temper. However, outsiders did not know that although Jiang Xi seemed to be favored, she did not get a single cent of the money she had gotten from her broken engagements and hanging herself!

The Jiang family’s old resiidece was on the east side of the village, which was the closest to the ancestral hall. At this moment, several old men were sitting there and talking.

“I think the Chen family is not bad. Their sons are obedient, their daughters-in-law are harmonious together, and their daughters are well-behaved and virtuous. If we choose the Chen family’s sons, we can also benefit the Happy Village in the future.”

“No, the Chen family is not well-off. I think the kid from the Zhong family is not bad. He has the style of a village chief, and his family is well-off. He has a lot of land and has some experience in managing the Happy Village.

“Sigh, there are still two to three months until the next village chief election. No matter what we say, it’s all in vain. When the time comes, the whole village will vote and we’ll definitely get a good village chief.”

Jiang Guoyou’s family greeted the old man who was talking at the side of the ancestral hall and continued to walk forward. Jiang Shan, who was one step behind Jiang Xi, whispered in her ear, “I heard that the village chief of Happy Village is getting old and wants to choose the next village chief. After the election is done, we have to report it to the government so that the new village chief will have an official status. I heard rumors that our second uncle is also planning to participate in the village chief election.”

A few years ago, the higher-ups changed the rules. In the past, the village chief was appointed, but the appointed village chief did not know the affairs of the village and often made mistakes. Later, it was changed to an election in each village, and it was an anonymous election. This practice greatly promoted the development of the village. Over time, the election of the village chief was done once every ten years, and one was not allowed to participate after the age of 60. The village chief of Happy Village was 60 years old this year, which meant that there was going to be a new village chief.
