Chapter 1360 -1344: Scoundrel (Part 2)

Song Xiaodong said, “There’s no use getting angry now, we need to handle this matter, otherwise even if you’re here for teaching support, you won’t feel at ease.”

“Then what should we do now?” Shen Yue looked at Song Xiaodong with confusion.

Song Xiaodong stood up, gathered the last few small items in his hand, and whispered a few words into Shen Yue’s ear.

Shen Yue nodded repeatedly after listening, and said, “Alright, I’ll follow Big Brother Song’s advice. After dinner, I’ll ask them for it.”

“Yes, I will definitely help you solve this matter, otherwise I also can’t feel easy with you being here.”

“Thank you, Big Brother Song, thankfully you accompanied me here this time.” Shen Yue gave Song Xiaodong a sweet smile, then placed the items in the wardrobe.

But after putting them away, she stared blankly at those items, suddenly turned her head, her face blushed with embarrassment, and complained, “Big Brother Song, these things… Why did you help me take them too?”

Song Xiaodong glanced at the small items in the wardrobe and immediately felt quite embarrassed, saying, “I was too busy talking to you, I didn’t notice.”

“You rascal.” Shen Yue lightly hit Song Xiaodong, but clearly wasn’t truly angry.

Chapter 1345 Requesting Account Details

Song Xiaodong could only smile awkwardly; after all, those were women’s intimate clothing, it wasn’t quite appropriate for him to take them out.

Shen Yue, however, said with a red face, “Never mind, Big Brother Song, I won’t blame you, anyway… you’re not new to handling these.”

Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but recall the time in Tiannan City when Shen Yue held an auction at school, he auctioned off Shen Yue’s little bra, and personally helped Shen Yue put it on, causing ripples in his heart again.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became ambiguous, Shen Yue intertwined her fingers and said softly, “Big Brother Song, after this, we don’t know when we’ll meet again.”

Song Xiaodong looked at Shen Yue and suddenly felt a bit of distress, gently stretched his arm, and already embraced Shen Yue. Shen Yue’s body stiffened for a moment and then melted into Song Xiaodong’s embrace, saying softly, “Big Brother Song, I really will miss you.”

Song Xiaodong tightened his arm slightly, hugging her firmly, and said softly, “I’ll come see you from time to time.”

“Really?” Shen Yue looked up at Song Xiaodong in surprise.

Song Xiaodong lightly nodded, “When have I ever lied to you?”

“Hmm, ah, better not, you’re so busy, and this place is so remote, making a trip means several days, coming here is really troublesome for you.”

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly, “I have to come anyway, otherwise I won’t feel at ease, right?”

“Is it just that you’re not at ease?” Shen Yue pouted her lips.

“Alright, I admit, I will miss you too.” Song Xiaodong’s smile grew wider.

“That’s more like it.” Shen Yue immediately flashed a bright smile, then suddenly tiptoed and lightly kissed Song Xiaodong on the lips, her face turned completely red.

Song Xiaodong’s heart fluttered again, feeling the urge to kiss her fully, but he restrained himself, saying, “Alright, they’re waiting for us, we should handle the main business first.”

Shen Yue impulsively kissed Song Xiaodong once, and as Song Xiaodong changed the subject, she became less shy, nodding repeatedly, “Hmm, those scoundrels are really too detestable, Big Brother Song, you must deal with them, make them return the money for building the school.”

The three of them went downstairs together, where Zhao Qiang and Zhao Changqing were waiting, and Zhao Changqing’s expression was evidently not looking well, as if he had argued with Zhao Qiang earlier.

Zhao Qiang laughed heartily, saying, “Come on, let’s go eat.”

The dining place was Zhao Qiang’s home, which was quite good, a standard three-room tiled house, with nice interior decoration, and a large yard with a cement path in the middle.

Song Xiaodong said, “Village Chief Zhao, your household condition is quite good.”

Zhao Qiang laughed heartily, “I’ve managed to make some money here and there, but most of it was spent on the village, otherwise everyone wouldn’t have elected me as the village chief, right?”

Song Xiaodong laughed, “It seems Village Chief Zhao truly does everything for the villagers.”

“That’s right, being the village chief means I have to consider the villagers, like this school, I’ve worried so much about it. If it weren’t for the two teachers coming here, I’d be stressed to the point of turning grey-haired over the teacher issue.”

Song Xiaodong smiled softly and didn’t say much more, but Shen Yue was already feeling extremely uncomfortable. As a village chief, his household was clearly much better off than others; to say he wasn’t corrupt, she wouldn’t believe it.

The meal was quite abundant, and Zhao Qiang was eager to show his hospitality, but Shen Yue couldn’t taste a thing. If it weren’t for her promise to Song Xiaodong, she would have confronted him now.

Song Xiaodong and Zhao Qiang drank some alcohol together, and Zhao Qiang spoke noticeably more after drinking.

Chewing a big piece of wild rabbit meat, Zhao Qiang said, “Hey, let me tell you, don’t look at you living in the big city, but here in the countryside, there are perks, like these wild mountain delicacies, they’re not something you can just eat in the city. We can get them easily here; we can eat however we want.”

Song Xiaodong said, “Isn’t there now a focus on forest protection, and that hunting wild animals is prohibited?”

“That’s only for outsiders. Here, we’re far from any authority, and I’m the one calling the shots. I hunt when I want, who dares to say anything against me? I’m telling you, here I’m like a local emperor, I do as I please, no one can control me.”

Song Xiaodong said, “I never thought Village Chief Zhao could be so powerful.”

“Yeah… I’m telling you, just one word from me, and no one dares to say anything here. With two teachers around, you can rest assured, I’ve got them covered, no one will dare bully them.”

As Zhao Qiang spoke, his gaze also wandered over Shen Yue and Wang Yan. Shen Yue, being such a beauty, was something rare to behold in this village, and Zhao Qiang was already burning inside with desire.

But now, with Song Xiaodong present, he naturally couldn’t show it, but once Song Xiaodong left, leaving Shen Yue and Wang Yan behind, he was already plotting how to make his move on them, getting them into bed.

Song Xiaodong saw everything Zhao Qiang was doing and felt secretly annoyed; this Village Chief Zhao Qiang was nothing but a hoodlum.

“Village Chief Zhao, I really must thank you, seeing your household conditions so great, do you have any well-paying tricks you can share?”

“Haha… you’ve got your city ways to earn money, we’ve got our country ways. Don’t underestimate our village; there are plenty of ways to make money here. Come, let’s drink.”

Maybe knowing he had talked too much, Zhao Qiang picked up his glass and didn’t continue the conversation, indicating that this guy wasn’t completely clueless.

Song Xiaodong nodded, “By the way, I have a task here, and I’ll need Village Chief Zhao’s cooperation later.”

“A task? What task?” Zhao Qiang looked at Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong said, “The money Teacher Shen donated, we all put together collectively, so we need to account for its usage to everyone, hence… I’d like to see the accounts of this money.”

“Accounts…” Zhao Qiang held the glass, shrugged, “Those accounts aren’t in my hands, the money went to the township, you have to go to the township to get the accounts. I just spend as much as I get from the township.”

Song Xiaodong nodded, “Since it’s with the township, Village Chief Zhao should take us to the township to see it. I need to account to everyone, otherwise they’ll think that Shen Yue and Wang Yan embezzled the money.”

“Haha…” Zhao Qiang laughed loudly, “That’s impossible, of course not.”
