From collapsing rooftop to poverty alleviation village chief

"What?!"

Liu Ying cried out in surprise, and Zhang Dafu froze, his chubby face stiffening.

The expressions of the other villagers also froze, their eyes wide and mouths agape.

Lin Ye glanced at Zhang Dafu and Liu Ying, and said indifferently:

"This is the official appointment and dismissal notice from the county. Didn't you hear me? Shall I read it again?"

Liu Ying shouted, "Why? Why were both of us dismissed from our official positions?! What did we do wrong?!"

Lin Ye shrugged. "This is the county's decision. Comrade Liu Ying, if you have any objections, you can go to the county government office and raise them with the leaders."

"Was it decided by the county?" Liu Ying grabbed Zhang Dafu's arm. "Dafu, what exactly happened? I'm the head of the women's federation in our village, and you're the deputy village head. How could they dismiss us all? It's fake! This Lin fellow is forging an imperial edict, isn't he?"

Qin Guifen chuckled. "Imperial edict? Director Liu, are you still living in the feudal era? Oh no, you're not the director anymore, Liu Ying. Didn't you hear Village Chief Lin say this was a decision from the county?"

Sun Xiuying sneered, "You know very well what your Zhang Dafu has done! It should have been done a long time ago!"

"Impossible! It's fake!" Liu Ying roared. "Dafu, this must be fake, right?"

Zhang Dafu's stiff facial muscles twitched with difficulty, and he made a dry voice, "It's... true."

Having served as deputy village head for so many years, he had seen official county documents before. He noticed the official seal on the two pages as soon as Lin Ye took them out.

Even if Lin Ye were incredibly bold, he wouldn't dare to forge the county government's official seal.

Therefore, this appointment and dismissal notice is genuine.

However, Zhang Dafu didn't understand why the county would suddenly dismiss his entire family at the same time.

For so many years, the county has never raised any objections to the composition of the village cadres in Qiongyu Village, seemingly out of helplessness regarding the current situation of Qiongyu Village, leaving it to fend for itself.

That's why Zhang Dafu went from being cautious at first to gradually becoming less restrained and treating Qiongyu Village as their personal fiefdom.

Even though two village chiefs were sent from above, he had ways to get them to leave on their own.

Zhang Dafu didn't care about Lin Ye either. He just made a show of it and let him suffer a bit. He thought Lin Ye would beg to be transferred on his own.

But now, Lin Ye hasn't left; instead, he himself has been dismissed from his post.

Why?

Why?

"Is it true?" Liu Ying was stunned, almost collapsing to the ground, and murmured:

"I don't believe it. I'm the top woman in our village..."

Liu Zhaodi rushed over to support her, tears streaming down her face. "Sister, brother-in-law, let's go to the county. Our family can't suffer this injustice!"

"It was you! You did it!" Liu Yaozu suddenly pointed at Lin Ye.

His face was flushed, and he charged at Lin Ye, bottle in hand, yelling, "I'll kill you!"

Several villagers nearby were startled and instinctively moved away.

Liu Yaozu has been drunk and assaulting people more than once or twice. Now he looks ferocious and terrifying, and the villagers don't want to mess with him.

"Uncle, are you crazy?!"

Zhang Xiaoshan stood in front of Lin Ye.

"You treacherous little bitch, get out of here!"

Liu Yaozu had lost his mind. He pushed Zhang Xiaoshan to the ground and threw a wine bottle at Lin Ye.

Suddenly, his arm was grabbed, then the other person kicked him in the knee, grabbed his collar with both hands, bent over and twisted him, and Liu Yaozu was sent flying into the air, then crashed heavily to the ground with a thud.

Ah!

Liu Yaozu screamed and rolled on the ground.

Su Yun looked down at him coldly, "Liu Yaozu, you attempted to assault the village chief and injure your own niece. Do you want to end up in the police station?"

Everything happened so fast that the villagers barely had time to cry out in surprise.

"Teacher Su?!"

"I almost forgot about the last time Meimei was nearly kidnapped; Teacher Su beat all three kidnappers to a pulp!"

"Liu Yaozu deserved it!"

"Yaozu! Yaozu, are you alright?" Liu Ying and Liu Zhaodi rushed over and helped Liu Yaozu up.

This guy had completely lost his arrogance from before, and his lips twitched as he actually started to cry.

"My back, my kidneys, waaaaah..."

Liu Ying and Liu Zhaodi were terrified and frantically checked his waist, but found no injuries. Liu Ying looked up and glared at Su Yun.

"Teacher Su, how could you hit someone?"

At this moment, Lin Ye helped Zhang Xiaoshan up. He noticed that her palm was badly scraped and bleeding. Before Lin Ye could ask anything, Zhang Xiaoshan smiled and shook her head.

"Village Chief Lin, I'm alright."

She said she was fine, but her eyes were already red.

Qin Guifen and Sun Xiuying also rushed over. Seeing that Zhang Xiaoshan was bleeding, Sun Xiuying pointed at Liu Ying and started cursing:

"Xiaoshan is your daughter! She's injured like this, and you don't even glance at her? Liu Ying, are you even human?!"

Liu Ying then noticed Zhang Xiaoshan's injured hand. She moved it slightly, but still supported Liu Yaozu.

"It's just a scraped skin, Yaozu's injury is much more serious, of course I have to watch over Yaozu!"

"You son of a bitch! Just because Xiaoshan is a daughter? You don't deserve to be a mother!" Sun Xiuying rolled up her sleeves and started cursing.

"Sun Xiuying, what business is it of yours what happens to our family? Do you think we can't do anything to you just because we're not village officials?" Liu Ying retorted, hands on her hips.

"Hello, is this the police station? This is Lin Ye, the village chief of Qiongyu Village. There has been an assault here. Someone attempted to beat me and injured a villager. Okay."

Lin Ye's voice rang out, and everyone looked at him in astonishment. Liu Ying exclaimed in disbelief, "You actually called the police?"

Lin Ye put down his phone and said calmly, "Liu Yaozu has threatened me many times and this time he tried to take action and injured Zhang Xiaoshan. This is a society governed by law, so of course I have to act in accordance with the law and regulations."

Then he addressed the other villagers, saying, "The police will be here soon and may ask you some questions. Please don't hide anything and tell the police officers what happened."

The villagers were terrified when they heard that the police were coming.

"The police actually came?"

"Is it really that bad?"

"This isn't the first time Liu Yaozu has gotten drunk and assaulted someone."

Suddenly, a childish voice rang out, "Uncle Liu Yaozu was going to hit Uncle Village Chief! He pushed Sister Xiaoshan down! Teacher Su protected Uncle Village Chief and defeated the bad guy! Uncle Village Chief, am I right?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Meimei, the little girl who raised her innocent face and asked Lin Ye.

Lin Ye smiled and patted her head. "Meimei is right."

Sun Xiuying held her daughter's hand and said, "Meimei is such a good girl. What you said is true, isn't it?"

Liu Yongxing raised his hand, "Yes!"

Tie Dan, Ya Ya, Shi Xiaogang, Wang Hongyu, and a group of other children raised their hands together, "Yes!"

The villagers looked at each other and finally nodded in agreement. "Yes, that's it."

"You, you..." Liu Ying pointed at the villagers.

Lin Ye picked up the appointment and dismissal documents again. "The appointment and dismissal notice is only half complete. Can we continue reading now?"

Zhang Dafu's face turned ashen, while Liu Ying and Liu Zhaodi were busy taking care of Liu Yaozu, who was still wailing. No one objected.

Lin Ye continued reading:

"Chen Yonggui is appointed as the deputy village head of Qiongyu Village, Zhang Xiaoshan is appointed as the women's director of Qiongyu Village, and Shi Dazhu is appointed as the security director of Qiongyu Village."
