Originally, Xu Yulan still had so hesitation about this matter, but after her recent experiences, she no longer wavered. If she continued to hesitate, Liu Ergou might be snatched away by soone else. Therefore, Xu Yulan had now made up her mind.
Seeing his sister-in-law in such an alluring state, Liu Ergou no longer hesitated either, imdiately bowing his head to kiss her again. At that mont, Xu Yulan couldn't be bothered to continue her bath.
Just as everything was passionately underway and they were about to get to the main event, a voice suddenly called out from outside the door.
"Er Gou! Er Gou, are you ho?!"
"Er Gou!"
The shouting abruptly interrupted Liu Ergou and Xu Yulan. Coming to his senses, Liu Ergou's teeth itched with annoyance at the sound, but there was nothing he could do.
He recognized the voice; it belonged to Wang Yanli's husband, Lu Hongda, who was also the village's party secretary. For the party secretary himself to co calling ant there must be sothing significant waiting for him.
Realizing this, Liu Ergou took a deep breath and shouted toward the door, "Uncle Lu, I'm ho! Wait for ! I'm taking a bath! I'll be right out!"
After speaking, he turned to look at Xu Yulan in his arms.
Seeing Xu Yulan's face flushed with shyness, Liu Ergou felt a surge of frustration, wishing he could take her right then and there. But alas... At that thought, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Xu Yulan, however, gently stroked his head. "It's okay, Er Gou," she whispered softly. "We have plenty of ti in the future, plenty of chances! The party secretary must be here for sothing important, so don't keep him waiting. Go on, be good!"
Since his sister-in-law had spoken, Liu Ergou couldn't protest. He quickly threw on so clothes and rushed out. When he reached the main gate, he opened it to see a middle-aged man of a similar build standing at the entrance. It was Lu Hongda, the village party secretary and Wang Yanli's husband.
At this mont, looking at Lu Hongda, Liu Ergou felt an inexplicable twinge of guilt. After all, he had slept with the man's wife, and more than once.
Forcing a normal expression, Liu Ergou cleared his throat and stepped aside. "Ahem, Uncle Lu, co on in. I'll get you a glass of water! We can talk about whatever it is slowly!"
Lu Hongda shook his head. "No ti for water, Er Gou. This is urgent. Co with now. We can talk in detail at the office!"
Liu Ergou wanted to ask more, but before he could get the words out, Lu Hongda had grabbed his arm and was pulling him toward the village office. Both n were strong and fit, so it only took them five or six minutes to arrive.
Inside the office, Liu Jingming was sitting at his desk. He was wearing glasses and holding a fountain pen, busy writing sothing.
After leading Liu Ergou in, Lu Hongda called out loudly, "Old Liu, I brought Er Gou for you."
Hearing this, Liu Jingming finally put down his pen and glanced at Liu Ergou's confused face. Then, he uttered dismissively, "Sit over there for now."
Liu Ergou wasn't pleased with Liu Jingming's attitude, but he said nothing and sat down opposite him. Lu Hongda took a seat next to Liu Jingming.
Ignoring Liu Jingming completely, Liu Ergou turned to Lu Hongda. "Uncle Lu, what's so important that we had to co to the office? Couldn't you have told at my place? I was halfway through my bath. Look at my clothes!"
As he spoke, Liu Ergou held up his slightly damp sleeve. Of course, it had only gotten wet when he and Xu Yulan had accidentally knocked over the water basin.
Seeing this, Lu Hongda gave a sheepish laugh. "Hahaha, Er Gou, I didn't want to drag you out like this, but the situation is urgent. Besides, this is great news for you! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry!"
With that, Lu Hongda patted Liu Jingming, who was beside him. "Alright, Old Liu, it's your turn to get down to business!"
Liu Jingming slowly glanced at Liu Ergou and straightened his collar. "Here's the situation, Liu Ergou," he said in an extrely official tone. "I just received a docunt from the higher-ups.
"The docunt says we're to build a health center in Fengzhu Village. It ntioned that our village has never had one and it's inconvenient for everyone to go to the town for dical treatnt.
"The funds have already been allocated, but the health center still needs a head doctor.
"I've thought it over, and you're the only one who can fill the role. Even though I don't think much of you, I'm not a petty man.
"So, after careful consideration, I've decided you'll be the doctor for this health center!" For original chapters go to novelꞁire
At this point, Liu Jingming paused.
Liu Ergou wasn't surprised by the news, but he felt extrely uncomfortable, mainly because of Liu Jingming's condescending tone.
Just as he was about to say sothing, Liu Jingming suddenly pushed a bank card toward him.
"Liu Ergou," Liu Jingming explained, "this card contains the funds allocated from above, a total of 7,000 yuan! This is the subsidy for setting up the health center. The original amount was only 5,000, but as the village chief, I couldn't just stand by, so I added 2,000 yuan from my own pocket! That makes 7,000 in total. Take this 7,000 yuan, and make sure you build the health center properly."
Hearing this, Liu Ergou froze on the spot, his eyes filled with disbelief. He remained stunned for several long minutes.
Finally, Liu Ergou managed to ask, "Hold on, Village Chief, are you sure you're not joking with ? You're giving 7,000 yuan to build a health center? Is this for real?"
Liu Jingming's face imdiately turned stern. "What's this, Liu Ergou? I'm used to you questioning , but now you dare to question the higher-ups? Is 7,000 yuan not enough to build a health center?! You're being far too greedy! This is 7,000 yuan! Not 70, not 700, but 7,000! If that's not enough, what on earth are you planning to do, Liu Ergou?!"
