In the following days, an incident occurred that seemed rather commonplace and had often happened in the past; yet, it was a fuse waiting to be lit.
Village Leader Li Qingtian was now an old man in his sixties who had exhausted all his efforts searching for his granddaughter. As a result, he neglected the major and minor affairs of the village, delegating his authority to Li Xingkui.
Being a member of the clan and having worked together for twenty years, Li Qingtian was relatively confident in Li Xingkui.
In Li Family Village, the primary responsibility of the village head is to protect the interests of the Li Clan, as they make up more than half of the village population. It's said that in the early days, there were no families in Li Family Village with different surnames.
Today's Li Family Village still belonged to the Li family, and as the village head one must first ensure that the Li Clan members felt superior before taking care of the interests of the other villagers.
