Old Man Zhao, the legendary healer of Xinghua Village!

Wang Caixia clearly didn't believe Zhao Dazhu's nonsense, and angrily turned her face away, refusing to look at him.

Zhao Dazhu scratched his head in confusion, unable to understand why Wang Caixia was inexplicably angry.

But how could Li Yujiao not see the problem? She immediately lowered her voice and said to Zhao Dazhu, "Stay away from this widow from now on, understand?"

"What's wrong?" Zhao Dazhu asked.

"Don't ask what's wrong, just listen to me!" Li Yujiao said, emphasizing her words, but lowering her voice even further, as if afraid of being overheard by those around her.

As women, how could Li Yujiao not see through Wang Caixia's little scheme?

This widow had feelings for Zhao Dazhu, and she made it all too obvious. Li Yujiao could smell the sourness emanating from her even from several meters away!

As we spoke, we arrived at the village committee compound.

As before, the place was already full of people, but as soon as Zhao Dazhu came over, people immediately made way for him, so he and Li Yujiao went to the front row.

Although this is just a small detail, it is enough to prove Zhao Dazhu's current status in Xinghua Village.

He was no longer the old bachelor laughed at by the villagers, no longer the good-for-nothing Zhao Laolv looked down upon by everyone!

He is no longer the same person he used to be; at least in this small village, he has become a prominent figure!

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I have two important announcements to make today."

"The first thing is that our new village chief, Qi Gaoxue, has arrived in our village. Please give her a round of applause!"

As Zhou Dawei, the deputy director of the village committee, spoke into the microphone on the podium, the villagers below applauded and cast curious glances at the stage.

The next moment, a young woman wearing a black suit skirt, textbooks, and high heels walked out of the village committee office and stood on the podium, even ahead of Zhou Dawei.

Zhou Dawei very consciously stepped back and handed her the microphone.

This woman is none other than Qi Gaoxue, the new village chief and Qi Gaolan's biological daughter!

Zhao Dazhu could even see Qi Gaolan's shadow in her face, which was undoubtedly proof of the blood connection between the mother and daughter.

"Hello everyone, I am Qi Gaoxue. You should all know who I am. My mother, Qi Gaolan, is the female county head of our Peach Blossom County."

"I came to this village to serve as the new village chief. To you, I am just an outsider, but I can assure you that I will do my best to make this village prosperous and give you a better life than before!"

Qi Gaoxue began her eloquent speech. Although she was a woman and very young, her tone of voice gave people a feeling of being very energetic and powerful.

A dozen minutes later, Qi Gaoxue announced emphatically, "Enough with the nonsense, let's talk about the second thing."

"The second matter is that the former village chief, Wang Jianguo, amassed a fortune by using the construction of cement roads. According to the village committee's calculations, the construction of cement roads did not require that much money, since there were funds allocated from above."

"Therefore, the overcharged amount will now be refunded to everyone, with each household receiving four thousand yuan!"

Upon hearing Qi Gaoxue's words, the villagers present were overjoyed and spontaneously began to applaud, with many even cheering and applauding.

And so the hectic and busy process of refunding the money began.

Qi Gaoxue took out a list and called out to whoever's name was called, and that person had to come up on stage to receive the money.

The villagers who had already received their money were all smiles, walking with a brisk pace, while those who hadn't received their money stood below, eagerly waiting for the female village chief to call their names.

An hour later, all the villagers who had been forced to pay money received their refunds.

The villagers developed a great deal of goodwill and trust in this female village chief, and even started discussing her excitedly.

"As expected of the county magistrate's daughter, Village Chief Qi is decisive and efficient in handling matters, without any hesitation!"

"Yes, they refunded the money on their very first day in our village. That's incredibly efficient!"

"I think this female village chief is quite capable; she'll definitely be able to make our village thrive!"

"I think so too!"

Qi Gaoxue on the stage heard what the villagers below were saying, and a look of satisfaction appeared on her face.

"Three days from now, a construction team from a company in the county will come to our village to start the cement road paving project, so please cooperate. If there are any conflicts, please come to the village committee to find me. As the village head, I will do my best to mediate for everyone."

"Alright, I've finished speaking. Does anyone have any questions?"

After Qi Gaoxue finished speaking, she looked at the villagers below, but they all shook their heads repeatedly, and no one raised any questions or objections.

Seeing this, Qi Gaoxue was even more satisfied.

"Since there's nothing more to say or ask, let's conclude this meeting here. Everyone, please go home... By the way, who is Zhao Dazhu?"

As soon as Qi Gaoxue said this, all the villagers turned to look at Zhao Dazhu.

Zhao Dazhu subconsciously raised his finger and pointed to his nose: "Village Chief Qi, are you calling me?"

"Is there another person named Zhao Dazhu here?" Qi Gaoxue said irritably.

"Then what do you want from me?" Zhao Dazhu asked again.

"Stay here for a moment, I have some questions for you," Qi Gaoxue said.

Having no other choice, Zhao Dazhu had to let Li Yujiao go home first.

The villagers all dispersed, leaving only Zhao Dazhu. Qi Gaoxue then waved to Zhao Dazhu, signaling him to follow her.

Zhao Dazhu then followed the young and beautiful female village chief into the village chief's office.

But Qi Gaoxue's demeanor changed completely after entering the office. She slammed the door shut and demanded sharply, "Is this the reason I became the village chief?"

Zhao Dazhu was completely stunned!

He was stunned for a long time before finally saying, "What do you mean I caused you to become the village chief? I didn't do anything!"

"Are you still pretending?"

Qi Gaoxue snorted coldly, glaring fiercely at Zhao Dazhu, and said, "My mother told me everything; she decided to make me the village chief based on your advice!"

Before Zhao Dazhu could explain, Qi Gaoxue was furious. Her hands trembled, and she spoke through gritted teeth.

"I just graduated from university and even received a job offer from a listed company in China, but because of you, I have to come to this run-down village to be the village chief, and I have to stay here for at least three years!"

"Three years! How many three-year periods does one have in a lifetime! It's all your fault; you've wasted my best years!"

Zhao Dazhu couldn't hold back any longer and hurriedly said, "I'm innocent! I didn't give your mother any advice. I just reported our village chief, Wang Jianguo, to her."
