Chapter 477: Chapter 477: The Domineering Deputy County Mayor

The courtyard gate opened, and County Chief Hu, accompanied by a group of officials, walked in. Upon seeing the four people in the courtyard, he couldn’t help but pause slightly.

Next to them, the simply dressed elderly couple seemed to be the villagers left behind to watch the place.

However, from the attire of the two young people, it was clear that they were not from Yellow Stone Creek Village. They must have come from the city.

County Chief Hu turned to look at the village chief and asked, "Who are these two?"

The village chief was familiar with Su Yumo and immediately began to explain, "This is Su Yumo, a corporate executive from the city. She visits Mr. and Mrs. Li Guilan every year... Su Yumo, who is this young man beside you?"

Su Yumo said, "Village chief, he is my boyfriend, Ye Xuan. He came with me this time to visit Grandma Li."

County Chief Hu stepped forward, a smile gracing his face, "It’s truly commendable that both of you young people, despite being busy, took the time to come to Yellow Stone Creek Village to show your kindness and visit the elderly left behind. I extend my gratitude to you on behalf of everyone here!"

Ye Xuan found County Chief Hu’s attitude quite likable and responded with a smile, "County Chief Hu, you are too polite. Standing up for justice and showing compassion are moral duties for people like us."

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, County Chief Hu gave an awkward smile.

Before the actual county chief had a chance to say anything more, the man standing next to him began to mutter, "Kid, what are you saying? Didn’t you see we are inspecting?"

Hmm?

Ye Xuan turned his head to see that the speaker was a middle-aged man with a protruding belly and his hands behind his back—looking quite haughty. Clearly, he wasn’t a leader who served the people.

The county chief hadn’t said a word, yet this man took the initiative, undermining County Chief Hu’s face. It seemed that not everyone in this group of leaders was on the same side; this potbellied man didn’t respect the actual county chief at all!

Ye Xuan frowned and retorted, "My words are my own. How I speak is my business. Why should it concern you? Mind your own business."

What?

Hearing this, the potbellied official’s face changed, and he immediately bristled, saying fiercely, "You impudent brat, you dare speak to a leader like that? Don’t think you can be arrogant just because you’re from a big city. Do you have any idea who I am?"

"What does who you are matter to me?"

Ye Xuan sneered disdainfully, not caring about the man’s status.

Arms crossed, standing unhurriedly in place, he was curious to see just how long this "monkey" could pretend to be king without the tiger speaking out.

At this moment, the surrounding villagers exploded in commotion.

Ye Xuan’s words had completely shocked them!

In their eyes, this group of county leaders were gods from above, each one not to be trifled with. Everyone was extremely cautious in dealing with them, afraid of offending these powerful figures to the point of barely daring to breathe.

Yet Ye Xuan had the audacity to say "what does who you are matter to me?"—He didn’t regard the county chief in high esteem at all!

The village chief was also alarmed. How could this young man act without considering the consequences?

If they offended the officials, the chances for Yellow Stone Creek Village to develop and prosper could very well vanish.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly tried to appease the potbellied official with a smile, "Vice County Chief Huang, the young man doesn’t quite know how to speak properly. Please don’t take it to heart. Shall we go inspect Mrs. Li Guilan’s home now?"

This Vice County Chief Huang, named Huang Xinyu, held the position just below County Chief Hu in Cangling County, yet he had the backing of a major leader from East Sea City and wasn’t afraid of County Chief Hu at all. Moreover, he often acted like the chief authority and loathed being called the vice county chief!

However, the naïve village chief was unaware that his use of the title only enraged Huang Xinyu, causing further offense rather than calming the situation.

"Hmph! Luo Genbao, what kind of village chief are you, really good at speaking in front of leaders, huh?"

Huang Xinyu’s expression was unkind as he made a sarcastic remark, completely disregarding the government he represented. He reached out, pushed the village chief with a big hand, stumbled, and stepped back.

Nobody expected Huang Xinyu, the deputy county head, to suddenly lash out!

The village chief was equally taken aback, so much so that he was completely unprepared. He tripped over the threshold behind him, his forehead hitting the iron door latch, instantly breaking the skin and causing blood to flow down.

The village chief yelped in pain, covering his forehead with a pained expression, and glanced at Huang Xinyu with a face full of grievance.

He couldn’t understand why he had offended him and yet didn’t dare to blame Huang Xinyu, the leader.

Suddenly, the atmosphere around quieted down.

The villagers, who had been noisily watching the excitement, looked at each other, then their eyes filled with indignant emotions as they glared angrily at Huang Xinyu.

In the simple hearts of these rural people, although they desired development and prosperity for the village, the relationships between the villagers were far more important!

The village chief was hit, so of course, they had to stand up, no longer afraid of the deputy county head.

"What right do you have to push people? The village chief didn’t provoke you!"

"That’s right, just because you’re an official doesn’t mean you can hit people. You must apologize to the village chief!"

"If you don’t apologize, just get out of Yellow Stone Creek Village. We don’t welcome you here!"

"Just scram, we won’t alleviate poverty or get rich."

The villagers grew more agitated as they spoke, and soon their anger erupted.

Several young and strapping men rolled up their sleeves, revealing their muscular arms, ready to teach Huang Xinyu a lesson.

Huang Xinyu turned pale, pointing at the villagers in front of him, his lips trembling with fright: "You..."

He hadn’t expected that these villagers, emboldened, wouldn’t even regard him, the deputy county head!

Immediately panicked, his beer belly quivering, he quietly retreated a few steps and hid behind County Head Hu to avoid being hit.

Seeing that the villagers were about to riot, the village chief was frightened and thought, If they beat up the county lord, what would happen?

Yellow Stone West Village still relied on the county lord for development and prosperity.

Ignoring his bleeding wound, he quickly rushed to the front gate, blocking the villagers trying to enter, and shouted:

"Everyone calm down, stop causing a scene here! This minor injury of mine is nothing, it’ll heal in a couple of days, but if you hit Deputy County Head Huang, how can our village develop and prosper? A bunch of simple-minded fools, all of you back off!"

The village chief had some authority in Yellow Stone West Village, and with his reprimand, the villagers’ yelling gradually ceased.

But their gazes towards Huang Xinyu were still filled with fury!

Seeing that the village chief had managed to control the situation, Huang Xinyu stepped out from behind County Head Hu, his face regaining its arrogance, and snorted, "Luo Genbao, I was giving you a chance. Consider yourself wise. I never even cared about this bunch of troublemakers."

As he finished speaking.

"Heh heh..."

A mocking sneer came from the side, it was Ye Xuan with his arms crossed, standing nearby.
