Old Man Zhao, the legendary healer of Xinghua Village!

Zhao Dazhu immediately added, "Don't worry, I'm not letting you stay at my house for free. To be honest, I'm fifty-two this year, my back isn't doing well, and my legs aren't very agile, so I've been thinking these past few days about whether I should hire a housekeeper to cook and clean for me."

"It just so happens that Yu Jiao has returned to the village and has nowhere to stay. In that case, why don't you come to my house and be my nanny? I'll pay you two thousand yuan a month, including room and board. What do you think?"

Zhao Dazhu's words were so reasonable that none of the villagers doubted him. They just felt that Zhao Dazhu had really changed and could afford to hire a nanny!

Li Yujiao stopped dawdling and nodded, saying, "Since...since that's the case, then I'll listen to you and work as your nanny. But let's make it clear from the start, you'll get paid first, then I'll start working."

"No problem, no problem." Zhao Dazhu nodded with a smile.

Several single young people in the crowd cast envious glances at Zhao Dazhu, but they didn't say anything.

After all, Zhao Dazhu made it very clear that Li Yujiao was working as his nanny, and he had to pay her a monthly salary.

Although those bachelors weren't exactly broke, they certainly couldn't afford to pay Li Yujiao's wages like Zhao Dazhu did.

And so the matter was settled. Li Yujiao was able to move into Zhao Dazhu's house openly and no longer had to hide from people like before.

After closing the door, Zhao Dazhu took out his wallet, took out two thousand yuan, and stuffed it into Li Yujiao's hand.

Li Yujiao immediately declined, saying, "No need to give me money, we were just acting..."

"How can I not give you money? You don't have a job, you have no income. If I don't give you money, what will you spend in the future?"

As he spoke, Zhao Dazhu forcefully stuffed the two thousand yuan into Li Yujiao's hand, and then said, "Of course, this isn't your salary, it's your living expenses. Spend it as much as you want. If you don't have enough, just come to me and I'll give you more."

"And this is just the beginning. I don't have much money yet. Once I earn more, I'll give you more living expenses and let you live the life of a wealthy lady!"

Upon hearing the words "wealthy wife," Li Yujiao's face flushed crimson.

"A rich lady, my foot! You old geezer, can you even afford to support a rich lady?" Li Yujiao teased.

"I can afford to raise them, I can afford to raise them. My medical skills are so good now, I can definitely make a lot of money treating people," Zhao Dazhu said without hesitation.

Li Yujiao said, "You never charge villagers for medical treatment..."

"Of course I can't charge villagers for treating their illnesses, but it's different when it comes to treating outsiders. If those big bosses come to me for treatment, I won't be polite. If they can ask for 80,000, I'll never ask for 60,000," Zhao Dazhu said proudly.

Li Yujiao thought about it and felt that Zhao Dazhu's words made a lot of sense.

Zhao Dazhu is now so skilled and has such good medical skills that everyone in the village gives him a thumbs up when they talk about him.

If he continues like this, he'll definitely make a lot of money!

So Li Yujiao didn't refuse anymore, stuffed the money into her pocket and said, "Then you should work hard, I'll be counting on you from now on."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't let you down!"

As Zhao Dazhu spoke, he hugged Li Yujiao tightly and kissed her sweet, moist lips.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Zhao Dazhu reluctantly let go of Li Yujiao and went to open the gate to the courtyard.

Li Yujiao also came out of the house. Anyway, everyone in the village knew that she lived in Zhao Dazhu's house and worked as a nanny there, so she wasn't afraid of being seen by the villagers.

As soon as Zhao Dazhu opened the courtyard gate, he saw several people standing outside.

These people were all village committee cadres. They greeted Zhao Dazhu with smiles on their faces, as if they were afraid of upsetting him.

Zhao Dazhu didn't give these people a friendly look. Although these village committee cadres weren't exactly accomplices in helping Wang Jianguo make money, they hadn't stood up to oppose Wang Jianguo's extortion of villagers' money.

"The sun must have risen in the west! You lot actually came to my house?" Zhao Dazhu said coldly.

Zhou Dawei, the deputy director of the village committee who was in charge, said with a wry smile, "Uncle Zhao, I know you have a problem with us, but you have to understand, there's nothing we can do."

"That bastard Wang Jianguo was a bully who ran rampant in the village. He was the village chief, our boss, so how could we dare disobey him? Now that Wang Jianguo is dead, we are actually very happy. We don't have to put up with his attitude anymore."

Hearing Zhou Dawei say this, Zhao Dazhu's expression softened.

Then Zhao Dazhu asked, "Then stop with the nonsense and just tell me what you want from me?"

Zhou Dawei rubbed his hands together, a little embarrassed, and said, "Well, Wang Jianguo died, so the position of village committee director—that is, village chief—is now vacant. I'm the deputy director, so logically I should be promoted to village chief."

"However, this requires everyone's consent. After all, without the support of our villagers, I definitely cannot continue to be the village chief."

Zhao Dazhu said meaningfully, "Oh, so you want to be the village chief, huh?"

"Uncle Zhao, don't worry, I will never bully the people in our village like Wang Jianguo did. I will work diligently and lead the whole village to prosperity..."

Zhou Dawei clenched his fists and gestured animatedly, as if he were shouting a slogan.

Zhao Dazhu considered for a moment before saying, "But it's no use coming to me; I can't represent everyone in our village. How about this: you call a village meeting and get everyone together to discuss it."

"Uncle Zhao, who in our village doesn't know that you personally brought down Wang Jianguo? Your status in our village is absolutely this!" Zhou Dawei said, raising one hand and giving Zhao Dazhu a thumbs up.

Even though he knew perfectly well that Zhou Dawei was just saying nice things to make him happy.

But Zhao Dazhu felt really comfortable, and even a little giddy.

After all, he had been a bachelor his whole life, a loser his whole life, and no one was willing to flatter him.

This feeling of triumph and satisfaction is truly exhilarating!

Seeing Zhao Dazhu's smiling face, Zhou Dawei continued, "So as long as you support me becoming the village chief, Uncle Zhao, and stand up for me and say a good word, I believe everyone in our village will support me."

Zhao Dazhu thought for a while, then finally nodded and said, "Alright, since you came all the way to visit me, I'll give you this face. Now go and prepare for the village meeting; I'll be there later."
