530. The strong dragon comes out of the cave and the local snake escapes
Xingchen and Qiao An went to the village bookstore's house hand in hand. The village bookstore was not there, but they were received by the village bookstore's son Fu Dayou and the village bookstore's wife.
Although Fu Dayou was kicked by Qiao An, he still couldn't forget Qiao An's beauty, and he also liked Qiao An, a unique and fierce woman. So he showed both love and hate for Qiao An's arrival.<
/p>
In order to make Qiao An fall in love with him, Fu Dayou took great pains. He ordered his servants to bring out the family's good tea and treasured snacks.
"Qiao An, I'm so happy that you can come to my house. This is my best Longjing. It costs several thousand yuan per tael. You must have never tasted such expensive tea before. Try it."<
/p>
Qiao An glanced at the tea leaves lightly, and then said casually: "I never drink tea worth thousands of yuan per tael."
Fu Dayou smiled and said: "Isn't it? Not everyone can afford to drink."
Qiao An added: "My tea leaves are all limited editions that are not circulated in the market. They are hard to find."
Fu Dayou was dumbfounded. Then he said unconvinced: "Just brag."
Xingchen couldn't help laughing.
Qiao An held Xingchen's hand and sat side by side with him opposite Fu Dayou. He didn't want to show off his wealth with Fu Dayou, but straight to the point: "Fu Dayou, where is your dad?"
Fu Dayou said lazily: "My dad has gone to the confinement area. If you have anything to do, just tell me and I will tell my dad later."
Xingchen said: "I need a piece of land to build a house. I hope the village secretary can issue me an approval document."
Fu Dayou suddenly became suspicious: "Xingchen, why do you suddenly want to build a house?"
Xingchen said: "An An and I are getting married. I need a new house."
The rich man started to make things difficult for him. "You, a person of unknown origin, are not qualified to settle in our village, let alone build a house."
Qiao An retorted: "Xingchen is considered the adopted son of the Xing family. Since the Xing family has settled down, Xingchen, as a male member of the Xing family, has the qualifications to settle down. If you are rich, don't make things difficult for Xingchen."
Fu Dayou's mother has always loved Fu Dayou as a darling and was completely obedient to him. Seeing Qiao An not giving Fu Dayou face in this way, she expressed contempt for Fu Dayou in her words, and she frowned in displeasure.
Raise your eyebrows.
"Qiao An, when a man is talking, you, a woman, had better not interrupt." The wife of the village secretary said coldly with a raised eyebrow.
Qiao An was stunned.
"What era is this? Do you think this is an old society where men are superior to women? Auntie, now men and women are equal and have freedom of speech."
The village secretary's wife was so angry at Qiao An's disobedience that she said, "Xingchen, you are an outsider with unknown origins. It was just Dad Xing who sympathized with you and saved you. In the past few years, you have relied on Dad Xing's face to live here."
In the Xing family, now that you have abandoned Xing Xiaoya, you are deliberately severing relations with the Xing family. Therefore, you are no longer qualified to stay in our village."
Qiao An asked back: "Xingchen's name is on the Xing family's household registration book. Auntie, you said that Xingchen is not from the Xing family. Is it the household registration book that proves it, or does your mouth prove it?"
Mrs. Cun Shu was speechless.
Qiao An continued: "Auntie, you are uneducated and do not understand the principle that everything must be governed by laws. We should wait for the village secretary to come back and tell him about this matter."
The words "There are laws to follow in everything" made the village secretary's wife feel uneasy in her eyes.
She is the wife of the village secretary, and she knows how many illegal things the village secretary has done over the years, including corruption and bribery.
But her uneasiness soon disappeared. After all, she believed that Qiao An, a weak girl, could not make waves.
"Qiao An, here, the village secretary is the law." The village secretary's wife said something rude.
Qiao An couldn't laugh or cry, "Aunt, it seems you haven't read a book."
At this time, the village secretary came back.
A look of joy.
Seeing Xingchen and Qiao An, he beamed and said: "Qiao An, Xingchen, thanks to you this time, the plague in our village has been brought under control. The superiors heard that we controlled the plague in such a short time, and they gave a special reward to our village."<
/p>
This is indeed exciting news.
However, the village secretary's wife interrupted the village secretary's interest and said with a sullen face: "Do you know what Xingchen and Qiao An are doing?"
Only then did the village secretary realize that there was something unusual about the appearance of Xingchen and Qiao An at his home.
But before Xingchen could explain, the wife of the village secretary told him quickly: "Xingchen wants you to grant land for him to build a house."
As expected, Cun Shu’s smile gleamed in the corners of his eyes.
Qiao An saw his embarrassment and was surprised in every possible way.
"Xingchen, you are not qualified to build a house." The village secretary said.
"Why are you not qualified?" Qiao An broke the casserole and asked.
"His... origin is unknown."
"Have the Xing family settled in the village?" Qiao An asked.
"It's settled."
Qiao An was aggressive: "This is strange. The Xing family are also outsiders. They can buy a house and settle down, why can't Xingchen?"
"Xingchen's situation is very special. His original household registration was directly registered in the Xing family's household registration book. So he is considered a member of the Xing family."
"Since we are members of the Xing family, it is not uncommon for men to start separate families when they grow up. Why can't Xingchen do the same?"
"Xingchen is the son-in-law of the Xing family."
"Son-in-law of the Xing family? Xingchen's surname is Xing? And there is no marriage registration certificate with Xing Xiaoya, so you regard him as the son-in-law of the Xing family? Isn't this dereliction of duty?"
The village secretary couldn't argue with Qiao An, and suddenly got angry arrogantly: "Qiao An, it's not your turn to point out matters in our village."
Qiao An sneered: "Parents should accept public supervision. If you do something wrong, we have the right to report you."
The village secretary smiled obscenely and said: "Report me? If you have the ability, just go to your superiors and report me?"
From the village secretary's shameless smile, Qiao An guessed that the village secretary was being protected.
"If you let me know that you are indeed acting for personal gain and neglecting your duties, I will definitely pull you down." Her tone was slow but extremely firm.
The village secretary's face suddenly darkened. For some reason, Qiao An made him feel a little uneasy.
He heard that Qiao An was the CEO, but he didn't believe it. The CEO of Kyoto has so many things to do, how can he have time to do charity in person?
Qiao An took Xingchen and walked outside.
The wife of the village secretary timidly asked her husband: "Is this Qiao An going to do anything bad?"
The village secretary said: "What are you afraid of? A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake."
The village secretary's wife said: "But I'm afraid this girl has a good status."
The village secretary also looked panicked.
The wife of the village secretary scolded him: "It's all your fault. The astrologer's residential land was not allocated in the first place. As a result, the Xing family had no residential land to build a house."
The village secretary said: "Who knew that poor star would suddenly be able to build a house?"
"How about finding another piece of land for him?"
"Nonsense. The current land management is so strict, how can we build randomly?"
