If it’s like what Second Uncle said, this County Chief Loo isn’t too bad. Even for show, nobody would do it like this in later generations.
Riding a bicycle from village to village every morning, rushing back in the middle of the night, with no days off—how many people can endure this kind of hardship?
However, it’s hard for people to truly like someone with such a personality, after all, he always does some laborious but futile repetitive work, wanting others to do the same.
"Did he say anything unpleasant?" Zhao Yucui hesitated, looking worriedly at her husband, "Many people aren’t fond of you teaming up with Big Brother, and if County Chief Loo dislikes you two as well, work will be troublesome.
We can’t always ask the Zhou family for help whenever something happens. How can such a big family always intervene in our trivial matters?
Even if they’re willing, we have to consider Chuxia’s reputation. How can it be that her family is of no help but always holds her back?"
"He didn’t say anything unpleasant, but his face didn’t look good. County Chief Loo has a habit of not saying anything at the moment when unhappy, but definitely using it as a negative example to talk about next time. If you want to know how much he disapproves, just ask Gangshun tomorrow."
With a pause, Zhang Guojun sighed, "Since we’re all family, I won’t hold back. Nominally, County Chief Loo went to Dalin Village to see Gangshun, but actually, it was mainly to visit Old Master Zhang and Old Lady Zhang. So, this County Chief Loo is definitely not as straightforward as he seems."
Old Master Zhang and Old Lady Zhang are Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang, who rent from Chuxia’s family, and their son is the current county party secretary.
Thinking about it this way, County Chief Loo is quite a character. He doesn’t get close to Secretary Zhang in the county but wants to get close to his parents in the village...
"Don’t think about these things anymore..." Zhao Yushan waved his hand, "Originally, I really did want to strive for more, not for anything else, but for the family, I had to work hard. But now, with both son and daughter achieving success, I don’t care anymore.
If County Chief Loo really dislikes me because of today’s matter, at worst, I’ll just go home and farm. Don’t worry, Guojun, I’ll certainly not drag you down.
You’re young, energetic, there’s no need to offend people because of me. After Longlong’s full moon banquet, I’ll go to the county and talk to County Chief Loo myself.
"Big Brother, no need to rush to a conclusion. Although County Chief Loo is somewhat difficult to deal with, no one has heard of him making things difficult for people. If he doesn’t talk to you, just play dumb.
It’s most suitable for us brothers to work together. If Big Brother stops, and someone else replaces to work with me, some things will just get delayed. The older you get, the more you want to do practical things for villagers. Otherwise, when we all retire, it’ll be desire without ability."
With Zhang Guojun saying this, Zhao Yushan hesitated again.
Old Master Zhao just shook his head helplessly: "You, you’ll never catch up with your brother-in-law in this aspect. When you were the village party secretary, I constantly told you, you have good intentions, and indeed did practical things for villagers, but the moment you face difficulties, you don’t want to persist anymore.
Think about it, if I hadn’t pulled you along, would you have already gone home to farm? When there’s an opportunity and ability, you must persist, what’s a little grievance?
Will you be free from grievance while farming at home? If it’s an unreliable party secretary, you’ll just end up frustrated every day, I wonder then what you’ll do.
Moreover, small officials have their difficulties, big officials have theirs too. Take Xiaomi’s dad from our family, isn’t he a big official? Yet he still has to restrain his temperament for some matters?
In this world, nothing is completely in line with your wishes, everyone has their own calculations, how could everything go smoothly for you?"
"Dad, the way you put it, it seems I’m nothing..." sighed Zhao Yushan slowly, "Actually, it’s not that I back down at the slightest difficulty.
When I didn’t want to be the party secretary those few times, it was because the upper people interfered too much, making it impossible for me to be a proper person.
