Zhao Yang cracked a slight smile and said, "Uncle Xu, I think as long as it's within the rules, a bit of trickery or scheming is acceptable. After all, rules are rules; as long as you don't break them, there's no problem."
"But that's just too damn despicable!" Old Xu raged, "To reduce an opponent's votes by invalidating them this way, it's utterly shameless!"
Old Chen chuckled and said, "Wow, the village chief election in Li Family Village is really an eye-opener for me; things are much simpler in Xinghu Village. But since things are as they are, how can we tell who's just running to make up the numbers and who really wants to be village chief?"
At this, everyone looked at each other, clearly at a loss without any clue.
That's when Zhao Yang said, "It's simple, we just analyze these people one by one, and we can come to a conclusion!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
