Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Human Relationships and Society

"I’ll give you the word ’death’!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Xinyu finally realized he had been played by Ye Xuan, and he was so angry that he started hopping madly:

"You little brat, how dare you make a fool of me! If you have the guts, just stay in Yellow Stone Creek Village. The moment you dare come down the mountain, I will not let you off! Just you wait!"

Huang Xinyu’s face was contorted with rage, his eyes fixed on Ye Xuan as he spewed out his words in fury.

At this moment, his appearance was just like that of a rogue on the street. Where was there even a hint of a leader’s demeanor?

"Huang Xinyu, shut your mouth! Have you had enough fun throwing your weight around?"

County Chief Hu watched with a cold eye and could no longer stand it, rebuking loudly.

His voice was fierce and cutting, like an enraged vajra, sending shivers down everyone’s spines, revealing their fear.

He had not wanted to interject, hoping that Huang Xinyu would come to a realization on his own and tidy up the situation!

But watching the other party commit one outrageous act after another, becoming more and more excessive, and even threatening to deal with Ye Xuan, he could no longer contain his anger, erupting like a volcano!

In front of all the villagers of Yellow Stone Creek, he could act so wildly and recklessly, threatening others like a hooligan.

Not only was he losing his own face, but what about the face of the entire Cangling County government staff?

He was smearing black ink on the faces of their leadership team!

"Hu Zhangguo, why are you shouting? They may fear you, but I certainly don’t!"

Huang Xinyu scoffed, not the least bit intimidated by the county chief’s imposing manner, looking at him dismissively.

Although he was the deputy county chief of Cangling County, ranked lower than Hu Zhangguo, in terms of status and position, he should follow the other’s orders.

However, relying on his big backers in East Sea City, he normally didn’t pay any attention to Hu Zhangguo, always acting as the top authority of Cangling County with outrageous arrogance. He never took this political leader’s words to heart!

Now, seeing the county chief, who normally deferred to him, suddenly challenging him, Huang Xinyu’s face was full of anger.

Pointing at his balding scalp, he sneered coldly, his tone icy, "Hu Zhangguo, do you dare to tell me to shut up? What kind of county chief are you, not seeing someone attacking a leader! Are we just going to let this go?"

Hu Zhangguo spoke in a deep voice, "Even if you’ve been attacked, if you want to pursue responsibility, you should first report it to the police and follow legal procedures! Your threats and talk of revenge earlier, where do they fit the conduct of a leader? I don’t want to hear such words a second time!"

Hu Zhangguo’s voice was deep, restraining the anger within his heart.

Right now, they represented the county government, and to avoid being laughed at by outsiders, he did not confront Huang Xinyu openly, making his point clear!

Hearing County Chief Hu’s warning, Huang Xinyu’s eyes narrowed slightly.

That Hu Zhangguo would actually stand up for Ye Xuan was very displeasing to him, his eyes flashing coldly as he said with a feigned smile, "Fine, County Chief Hu, since you command it, I will listen to you. However, I can’t guarantee if the poverty alleviation funds from the city will reach Yellow Stone Creek Village."

These words were an outright threat, causing Hu Zhangguo’s complexion to turn ugly.

Having said this, Huang Xinyu let out a sly laugh, his face full of smugness.

Glancing at Ye Xuan, he showed a vicious expression, gave a heavy cold snort, and turned to walk towards the gate, showing no respect to Hu Zhangguo.

Even after Huang Xinyu was gone, the atmosphere on-site remained still, with no one speaking out.

Especially after Huang Xinyu’s parting words, Hu Zhangguo, the county chief, had a face of thunder, losing any desire to continue the inspection.

He had dragged Huang Xinyu along, hoping to leverage the latter’s connections in the city to move funds to construct Yellow Stone Creek Village!

For this, he had paid a hefty price to sway the other party, promising to credit the honor in Huang Xinyu’s name once Yellow Stone Creek Village became prosperous.

It was only then that Huang Xinyu agreed to bear his big belly and climb the mountain roads for two hours to come to this godforsaken village.

Hu Zhangguo, though the county head, had no connections in East Sea City, so if he wanted to raise funds, Huang Xinyu had to step in!

But just now, Huang Xinyu had made it very clear in his hints that he would not help, indicating that there was probably no hope for the allocation of funds this time.

"Let’s go; I will visit another house."

After offering a few words of consolation, the restless Hu Zhangguo asked the village head to lead the way and left Li Guilan’s home.

Before leaving, Hu Zhangguo cast a glance at Ye Xuan, signaling a warning to be careful.

Ye Xuan had made Huang Xinyu lose face, and with that guy’s nature, he would undoubtedly seek revenge.

Watching the silent County Head Hu, the villagers exchanged glances, all aware that the efforts to alleviate poverty were likely to fall through again.

Especially after stepping outside, those officials following Hu Zhangguo all found excuses to leave, distancing themselves from Hu Zhangguo and apparently going to seek out Huang Xinyu!

Seeing this unfold, Ye Xuan let out a sigh, recognizing the reality of today’s society—utterly practical and cruel!

Without connections, even accomplishing a good deed was difficult, while those who engaged in flattery cared only about fawning over the leaders, with no spare thought to serving the people. Truly, the world was degenerating, and the hearts of people were not what they used to be...

After County Head Hu left, the villagers dispersed, leaving only the elderly couple Li Guilan and Ye Xuan and Su Yumo in the courtyard.

Li Guilan had prepared dinner, so Ye Xuan didn’t need to be busy anymore.

The four of them entered the house, gathered around, and began to eat their dinner!

After dinner, Ye Xuan went into the yard, picked up a bamboo basket, and returned to the kitchen to prepare medicine for Li Guilan.

He washed the herbs, removing the dirt, then sliced them and added them to the sand pot for decocting in sequence.

What followed was the step of lighting the fire to simmer the medicine.

Ye Xuan began tending the fire by the stove.

"Ye Xuan, you’ve been busy until now; let me tend the fire," Su Yumo offered after some thought.

"I better do it, you won’t manage the heat properly, and then the medicine will be ruined."

Ye Xuan shook his head, picked up some split firewood from next to him, and stuffed it into the stove.

"Then let me fan for you."

Thinking of how hot Ye Xuan would get tending the fire, Su Yumo offered and quickly ran back to the room to fetch a palm-leaf fan.

With a small stool in hand, she sat down beside Ye Xuan, holding the palm-leaf fan, she started fanning for Ye Xuan, bringing a gentle breeze.

"Old man, look how loving these two are with each other."

Li Guilan was sitting in the living room on a bamboo bed and, after peering into the kitchen, laughed and said to Wu Xiangyang.

"Yes, I hope they can stay this happy forever."

Wu Xiangyang nodded and exclaimed with admiration.

"Alright, stop fanning; go rest! This decoction will take a long time, and if you keep fanning like this, your hand will end up cramping."

After getting the stove fire going, Ye Xuan said with a smile.

"No, I have to help you fan."

Su Yumo insisted.

Ye Xuan had been bustling about for Li Guilan’s illness, and she had not been able to help at all; how could she be at peace with that?

Therefore, she had to keep fanning for Ye Xuan, insisting on doing so even if her hand would cramp up!
