Chapter 1004: Chapter 59: Village Chief, Your Dad is Here_2
 

“I might as well follow Big Face Cat home for dinner later, it’s been a long time since I last ate the dumplings made by Sister-in-law Lian, I’ve been missing them.”

“You!”

Er Zhuzi, with furrowed brows and a greenish complexion, exclaimed:

“I knew it! Your intentions aren’t pure! You came for my sister-in-law! Lian Village absolutely cannot tolerate a scoundrel like Ximen Qing!”

“Wow.”

Lin Xian was surprised, looking at Er Zhuzi:

“You even know about Ximen Qing, quite cultured, aren’t you.”

Smith, who had taken a couple of steps, turned back and explained to Lin Xian:

“The library in the village has the Four Great Classical Novels, all transcribed by the former village chief, Chen Heping, himself. There aren’t many books in the library, apart from the Four Great Classical Novels and some textbooks, there are also a few [philosophical] books.”

“So that’s how it is.” Lin Xian replied:

“I’ll check it out later.”

It should be said, Cat Dad could also be considered a great village chief, it’s just that heroes are generally short-lived, and to this day, Lin Xian has yet to meet the living Cat Dad, still only existing in legends.

“You still want to check it out?”

Er Zhuzi’s nostrils blew out green smoke in anger.

Where did this thick-faced guy come from?

Having no sense of boundaries whatsoever?

As if he’s just returned to his own house!

“Hehehe…”

Er Zhuzi scoffed:

“You surely won’t get past the democratic vote, be prepared to be banished from the village!”

“That’s fine.”

Lin Xian inwardly sighed…

The Lian Gang really embodies true democracy, Turing is truly inferior, Lin Xian would feel completely at ease if Big Face Cat were to become the observer of human civilization.

Before long.

Lin Xian was arrested by the Envoy of Justice, Er Zhuzi, and taken to a warehouse.

There was a portly figure, moving bags of rice and freshly picked corn cobs onto an electric truck.

In the depths of the warehouse, Ah Zhuang and San Pang were tirelessly moving sacks filled with crops.

The Lian Gang quartet.

Assembled!

Er Zhuzi, with exaggerated detail, explained the purpose of their gathering, while Ah Zhuang and San Pang listened with a mix of sarcasm, disgust, and contempt as they glanced at Lin Xian.

“Cough, cough.”

Big Face Cat coughed twice, clapping the dust off his palms, looking at Lin Xian:

“Bro, no matter what, we value democracy here. Regarding whether you can stay or not… let’s let my three brothers here vote.”

Ah Zhuang shook his head right away:

“This boy cannot stay.”

Er Zhuzi snorted coldly:

“He even wants to eat the dumplings made by Sister-in-law! Does he really want the dumplings? I’m too embarrassed to call him out on his true intentions!”

San Pang, with a look of wisdom, shook his head:

“I don’t think it’s appropriate.”

…

Just as expected.

Three votes against.

Sigh.

Lin Xian sighed again internally, why is it always so hard to join the Lian Gang solo?

It’d be much better with CC.

With CC around, these three top talents would stupidly vote unanimously in favor, and as soon as Lin Xian acknowledged his marital relationship with CC, Er Zhuzi would turn into a bosom friend right away.

“You saw it, bro.”

Big Face Cat spread his hands:

“We adhere to democracy, and since it’s three votes against… obviously, we can’t keep you in the village.”

Lin Xian slowly raised his right hand.

Pointing his index finger:

“Just one thing to say.”

He was certain.

One sentence could make Big Face Cat regret not having met him sooner.

Smith mentioned that there were philosophical books in the library, and at that moment, Lin Xian had already figured out how to conquer Big Face Cat.

He looked up.

His gaze met Big Face Cat’s clear and simple eyes.

Suddenly, a night breeze blew.

Stirring up the corn silk on the ground, swirling the scent of rice in the warehouse, fluttering the clothes of Lin Xian and Big Face Cat…

In the sounds of cicadas and the calls of magpies, Lin Xian softly said:

“[Cats symbolize ideology, faces, metaphysics.]”

“Holy shit!”

Big Face Cat was immediately thunderstruck, scrambling over and tightly clasping Lin Xian’s hands:

“My soulmate! I’m late in meeting you, bro! You’re literally the worm in my gut!”

Big Face Cat’s gaze softened.

Fondly rubbing the back of Lin Xian’s hands.

He gritted his teeth.

His heart filled with melancholy, hesitation, and regret.

On one hand, he was convinced by Lin Xian.

On the other hand, there are rules in the family, and democracy must not be violated.

Finally.

Reason triumphed over impulse.

Big Face Cat suddenly aged a few years and sighed deeply:

“Bro, I really can’t bear to part with a kindred spirit like you… just too bad, democracy is democracy, rules are rules, I simply can’t keep you.”

Having said that.

He picked up a few ears of corn from the ground, then tore off several strips of cured meat from a rack nearby, stuffing them all into Lin Xian’s arms:

“I can’t stand to see you go hungry, brother. Take these things, continue your wandering, and find a place that will take you in.”

“No, wait.”

Lin Xian felt the plot was moving too fast, is this truly impartial justice?

“Give me a chance, Brother Lian.”

He suddenly remembered, this Brother Lian isn’t the village chief, there’s still someone who could save him!

Thus, he pleaded:

“Brother Lian, at least let me meet the village chief. Isn’t Lian Village supposed to be ruled by Village Chief Yan Qiaoqiao? You’re at most… just a deputy village chief, right? Even if you are the prince of the village, the village chief’s authority should be above yours.”

“That’s right!”

A light of hope ignited in Brother Lian’s pupils, patting Lin Xian on the back:

“You’re absolutely right! Although Lian Village is named after me, the village chief is the village chief, and we always support her decisions. If she agrees to let you stay, then everyone’s opposition means nothing, and you’ll be a proper villager of Lian Village!”

“But… the village chief isn’t in the village right now, today she went out hunting on a mission, and I’m here waiting for her to return from the hunt. Uh… this is what we’ll do!”
