The matter was perfectly resolved. After that, Kong Xiuyao explained that he was the one who asked Qiu Lingruo to go to the city overnight to find an acquaintance of the Discipline Inspection Commission, so that she could meet the director of the Discipline Inspection Commission.
Director Lan Chao had already obtained evidence of Deputy Director Song's crimes, which was why he could save the situation in time.
Because of his explanation, Lan Chao's image instantly soared. The villagers who had once been bullied by the Black Bull and Deputy Song bravely stood up to testify. They were no longer afraid of revenge and refused to leave Kong Xiuyao's house!
There were also people who immediately raised the idea of wanting Kong Xiuyao to be the Village Chief, but Zhan Bin did not dare to arrange a position for his grandmaster. He did not dare to talk to him and only said that he would consider it carefully.
The commotion lasted from morning to noon. If not for everyone being hungry, this praise would have lasted until the sun set!
Since Lan Chao had come all the way here to help, Kong Xiuyao wanted to ask them to stay for a meal. "Thank you for coming. I'll cook at noon and treat everyone to a meal."
He had once taught a national special chef. There were only three chefs of this level in the entire Dragon Kingdom. There was no need to say much about Kong Xiuyao's culinary skills. It was just that his parents had not given him a chance to display them in the past two days. Today, his parents had been frightened again, so Kong Xiuyao could finally show his skills.
Hearing this, everyone was not as happy as they had imagined. Instead, they lowered their heads in fear.
Kong Xiuyao did not understand. Could it be that he looked terrifying?
Seeing this, Qiu Lingruo grinned evilly and whispered, "Senior Brother and the others feel guilty and are afraid that their lives will be shortened if they eat Master's food."
These disciples had already fought their way to the top of a province, but even their master, Kong Xiuyao's hometown, had not been built properly. This gave them an opportunity to cause a lot of trouble, and they were slapped in the face by reality!
In addition, in order to catch up with time, Kong Xiuyao had once started devil-training his disciples, leaving them with different psychological traumas.
Therefore, his disciples were both respectful and afraid of him. If he did not do well, they would only dare to kneel and not sit.
However, Kong Xiuyao's sternness was forced by the system. After all, the mission was too heavy. If he slacked off a little, he would be doomed. After leaving the mountain, he calmed down a lot. It could even be said that gentleness was his original personality.
Seeing his disciple and grand-disciple nervously waiting for him to speak, he waved his hand helplessly and said, "In that case, go ahead and get busy. We have plenty of time in the future anyway."
"Thank you, Master!" The four of them cupped their fists at the same time and left Kong Xiuyao's house in an orderly manner.
Kong Xiuyao sent them to the door. Lan Chao, who had half a foot in the car, suddenly turned around and said, "Master, the senior and junior brothers in the capital are asking if you're willing to live in the capital. The living conditions there are much better than in the Quan He. Food, clothing, and accommodation have all been arranged. They're just waiting for you to go over."
"There's no need." Kong Xiuyao refused. "I don't have any requirements for the quality of my life. I just want to stay at home and accompany my parents. Don't feel wronged and stayed in Quanhe because of me. If you can get promoted, get it?"
"Got it." The disciples said in unison.
Since Kong Xiuyao had already spoken, no one mentioned going to the capital anymore.
"Master, take care." Lan Chao waved his hand. "I'll visit you again when you're free."
"Be careful when you drive back," Kong Xiuyao reminded.
The two Volkswagens slowly drove away from Pingxu Village. Kong Xiuyao's house finally regained its usual peace.
Shen Feishang, who had come out to see him off, happened to hear the master and disciple bidding farewell. He asked curiously, "Xiuyao, did he just call you master? Do they all call you master?"
"Ah… it means 'goodbye' in the foreign language they speak. Perhaps it's a way of saying goodbye in the city." Kong Xiuyao's eyes drifted as he casually made up a story.
Shen Feishang did not think too much about it and accepted it naturally. He praised sincerely, "So that's how it is. As expected of a cultured person!"
He looked at Kong with admiration.
Kong's parents had also recovered. Under Kong Xiuyao's glib tongue and tight story logic, the matter was smoothly resolved. The old couple did not take it to heart and the days passed.
Because of the fight for territory in the village, there were often people who came to Kong Xiuyao to reason with him. The threshold was almost trampled to pieces. Kong Xiuyao could not be bothered with them. It was all handled by Shen Feishang. He was Kong Xiuyao's brother, and in the eyes of the villagers, he was the future leader of the Village Chief, so he was willing to listen to him.
Gradually, the disputes subsided and the days passed with relish.
After the harvest, it was time to harvest the seeds. The Kong family had a few acres of land that needed to be harvested, and they had to hurry up and cut them off when the sun was still high. Therefore, Kong Xiuyao and Shen Feishang worked in the fields whenever they had time.
At noon, Kong Xiuyao had finished his morning work and was sitting under the shade of a tree waiting for Shen Feishang to deliver lunch. From afar, he saw Mrs. Kong running over from the other side of the field.
The path was narrow. She slipped into the field several times and didn't even have time to brush off the dirt before she got up and ran again.
Kong Xiuyao's right eyelid twitched. He had a bad feeling and hurriedly went up to her. "Mom? What's wrong?"
"Xiuyao… Your father, your father is injured!" Mrs. Kong held her son's arms and panted. "Little Shen has already sent him to the village infirmary."
"What happened?" Kong Xiuyao said anxiously, "He was fine when he first started working. Where was he injured? What injuries? Forget it, let's talk as we walk."
Kong Xiuyao pulled his mother and ran towards the village infirmary.
It turned out that not long after Kong's father arrived home, the people from the village convenience store came to look for him and said that they had his number.
In this era, cell phone was still a luxury item. Only a very small number of people could have a cell phone. The only communication in the village was the landline of the convenience store. In any case, the village was not big. The owner of the convenience store would call for help and charge a few cents for the phone call.
The only person who would call Kong Xiu's father was probably his eldest brother, Kong Xiuyao's uncle who ran a company in the capital. Kong Xiuyao heard from his mother that his uncle's agricultural business in the capital was doing well, and he would send some specialties home from time to time. The two families had always been on good terms.
Kong's father followed happily. He did not even know if he had money with him, so his mother asked Shen Feishang to send it over.
"In the end, Little Shen said that after your father received the call, he was distracted and ran back in a hurry. In the end, he didn't pay attention and fell into Old Li's dry well!" Mrs. Kong said.
Kong Xiuyao knew about that dry well. When he was young, he had even thrown firecrackers into it. It had to be two to three meters deep. If he fell down unprepared, he would be lucky if he broke his leg! He was just afraid of falling onto his spine!
The mother and son rushed to the village infirmary. Just as they entered, they heard Mr. Kong's voice coming from the back room. "Little Shen, daughter-in-law, why are you stopping me? I'm fine! I have something urgent to attend to! If you delay any longer, it will be too late! Ah, Doctor Lu, stop pestering me! Something happened to my brother, I'm going to help him!"
