"Then why did you bring it home?" Han Xianglan asked again.
"I'm the village chief; the village's money is my money. What's wrong with me taking it home? You sure talk a lot for a wife!"
Li Dahai said with no courtesy whatsoever.
Well, I'll be damned.
Li Dahai was embezzling public funds!
Lin Tian listened with anger boiling in his belly, itching to burst in and give Li Dahai a good thrashing.
Then came Han Xianglan's voice from inside the house, "Aren't you afraid of being reported for doing this?"
Li Dahai scoffed with disdain, "Who's going to report me? It's not like I'm the only one who took the money. Every cadre in the village committee has a share, and the villagers don't even know that money was allocated from above."
Lin Tian could hardly bear to listen anymore.
His fists clenched tightly as his face was a mask of fury.
No wonder of all the surrounding villages, Shanshui Village was the poorest.
