Old Man Zhao, the legendary healer of Xinghua Village!

"Thank you so much!" Zhou Dawei was extremely excited, and the people following behind him also breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Dazhu continued, "Don't rush to thank me. Let me tell you, once you become the village chief, don't be arrogant and domineering, and definitely don't learn from Wang Jianguo and bully the villagers. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless towards you in the future. If I could bring down Wang Jianguo, it will be even easier for me to bring you down!"

"That's right, that's right, I will never get carried away, Uncle Zhao, you can rest assured."

Zhou Dawei quickly replied, even bowing and scraping repeatedly.

Seeing this scene at the gate, Li Yujiao couldn't help but cast a dazed look at Zhao Dazhu.

Since ancient times, beautiful women have loved heroes, and Li Yujiao was no exception.

Zhao Dazhu is so powerful now, and Zhou Dawei and the other village committee cadres are as obedient as grandsons in front of him. Naturally, she is proud of him!

More than an hour later, the sound of a loudspeaker rang out in the village.

"Attention, villagers! Attention, villagers! Please come to the village committee immediately for a general meeting to discuss matters related to the new village chief..."

"To reiterate, everyone please come to the village committee immediately for a meeting..."

Upon hearing that a new village chief was to be elected, the villagers of Xinghua Village excitedly headed towards the village committee compound.

Before long, the village committee compound was full of people.

Wang Caixia came, Li Guangzong came, and Li Cuicui also came.

Zhao Dazhu and Li Yujiao were also here, of course.

Standing on the podium, Zhou Dawei, holding the microphone, said, "Thank you all for taking the time to attend this village general meeting. As the deputy director of the village committee, on behalf of all the village committee cadres, I would like to express..."

"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point!" Li Guangzong shouted from below the stage.

Zhou Dawei gave an awkward laugh and then said, "Alright, enough with the small talk, let's get straight to the point."

"That dog of a village chief, Wang Jianguo, is dead, and the position is vacant. But our village can't be without a village chief, otherwise many things can't be done. I am the deputy director of our village committee, so in principle, I should be the new village chief."

"So I'm convening this village-wide meeting to hear everyone's opinions and see if you support me..."

Zhou Dawei talked for a long time before finally stopping, and then looked at the villagers below with anticipation.

Li Guangzong frowned and said, "Zhou Dawei, where were you when Wang Jianguo bullied us? Why didn't you stand up for us then?"

"I... I had no choice. Back then, Wang Jianguo was my boss. How could I dare to argue with him?" Zhou Dawei said with a wry smile.

"Then why do you expect us to believe you? Will you make our lives better after you become the new village chief?" Li Guangzong shouted.

As soon as Li Guangzong said this, the villagers at the scene all shouted.

"That's right, that's exactly the point!"

"It's not that we don't want to believe you, it's just that your actions make it impossible for us to believe you!"

"If you don't even dare to defy Wang Jianguo, then what abilities do you have? Do I need to explain?"

"Compared to Grandpa Zhao, you're nowhere near as good!"

On the stage, Zhou Dawei was so anxious he was jumping up and down, sweating profusely, and hurriedly looked towards Zhao Dazhu.

At Zhou Dawei's prompting, Zhao Dazhu went up to the podium and took the microphone from Zhou Dawei.

Before Zhao Dazhu could even speak, Li Guangzong shouted, "How about this? Let's elect Uncle Zhao as the new village chief! That bastard Wang Jianguo was brought down by Uncle Zhao himself, and Uncle Zhao also has connections with the female county head of Taohua County. He's the most suitable person to be the new village chief!"

"What?! Zhao Dazhu has connections with the female county magistrate? Is it true?"

"Haven't you heard? It was Grandpa Zhao who reported Wang Jianguo to Qi Gaolan, the female county head of Taohua County, that's why the county's supervisory and police departments came to our village to investigate him!"

"So that's how it is!"

"My goodness, Uncle Zhao, how did you suddenly become so awesome!"

"I agree, I support Grandpa Zhao as the new village chief!"

"I support it too!"

The villagers at the scene shouted incessantly, and more and more people supported Zhao Dazhu as the new village chief.

But Zhao Dazhu was sweating profusely.

Because he didn't want to be the village chief.

Although becoming the village chief and managing the entire village seems very prestigious.

However, this also meant that he would have to go to the village committee frequently to handle various matters and would be bogged down in official duties.

Moreover, you don't earn much money as a village chief.

In other words, being the village chief is just creating unnecessary work for yourself and will hinder your ability to make money, so let whoever wants to be the village chief be the one, he's not going to do it!

"Listen up, everyone, quiet down!" Zhao Dazhu shouted into the microphone.

The villagers in the courtyard finally quieted down and stopped shouting, but they all looked at him with eager eyes.

Zhao Dazhu nodded in satisfaction, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and continued, "To be honest, I really didn't expect everyone to elect me as the new village chief, but this is absolutely unacceptable."

"First of all, I'm not from the village committee and I've never been involved in those official duties, so I'm definitely not suitable to be the village head."

"Secondly, I'm already so old, I don't have the energy for that."

"Third, I personally brought down Wang Jianguo, everyone knows that. If I become the new village chief, wouldn't that mean I pushed Wang Jianguo down to become the village chief for my own sake? Of course, I know very well that you will not think that way, but if people from other villages heard about it, nine times out of ten they would think that way."

"So no matter how you look at it, I can't be the village chief. Everyone, please stop making a fuss and leave this old geezer alone."

Upon hearing Zhao Dazhu's words, the villagers present all showed expressions of disappointment.

On stage, Zhou Dawei took a deep breath, his tense nerves gradually relaxing, and he even gave Zhao Dazhu a grateful look.

After all, if Zhao Dazhu were to compete with him for the position of new village chief, he would have no chance at all!

Zhao Dazhu coughed a few times and then said, "Everyone has seen Zhou Dawei's performance before. Although he wasn't perfect, he didn't do anything to wrong anyone. So I think we should give him a chance; maybe he really can..."

Zhou Dawei clenched his fists excitedly, his face showing anticipation, while the villagers below the stage had various expressions.

Suddenly, a piercing cell phone ringtone sounded.

Zhao Dazhu took out his phone and looked at it, his expression immediately changed drastically.

"Hold on a minute, I need to take this call. It's from Qi Gaolan, the female county head of Taohua County. I can't ignore it!"

After saying that, Zhao Dazhu quickly shoved the microphone into Zhou Dawei's hand, walked to a corner, and finally answered the call and put it to his ear.
