Late at night, the village head old Li's house turned off the lights.

But Lao Li's son and daughter-in-law were not asleep yet. They were lying on the warm fire bed with their eyes open, looking at the dark roof.

"Why do you think that boy from the old Ye family got rich?"

The daughter-in-law of the Li family said.

"I think this is ill-gotten wealth!"

Lao Li's son snorted.

"What kind of virtue does his old Ye family have? I don't think this money is easy to come by. It's either cheating or kidnapping. It won't be long before this kid will have to go to jail!"

Old Li's son said sourly.

The old Li family and the old Ye family have never dealt with each other since the previous generation. Ye Feng's grandfather was angry to death by his son, the old Li family.

Since Ye Feng's father disappeared, Lao Li's family has blatantly bullied the orphan and widowed mother.

Now that Ye Feng has returned home in fine clothes, Lao Li's family is filled with envy, jealousy, and strong hatred.

The couple couldn't sleep and began to slander Ye Feng, making various assumptions and falsehoods, hoping that Ye Feng would fall into the sewer and drown as soon as he went out tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the villagers were awakened by the harsh sound of horns.

The village chief started his routine broadcasting business with a cigarette voice.

But today is not about asking villagers to pay water and electricity bills, nor is it about family planning, but a great good thing.

The young man from the Ye family has become prosperous outside the country, and now he is returning to the village to provide welfare for fellow villagers over sixty years old.

As long as you are over 60 years old and come to the village committee with your ID card, you can receive 500 yuan and a box of pure milk.

The villagers didn't believe it at first, but some said they did see a truck parked in the village committee compound, and several workers were moving down boxes of milk.

In the village committee room, there was a mountain of banknotes on the table.

If it doesn't fit on the table, it's placed on the floor. I've never seen so much money in my life!

The news spread like wildfire, and everyone believed the village chief's words. They rushed to tell each other and asked the 60-year-old man in the family to go to the village committee with his ID card to collect the money.

Soon, the entrance of the village committee was as lively as a market. People who planned to visit relatives also canceled their plans and came over to watch the excitement.

Nowadays, people's living conditions are better and they are getting older. People in the village who are over 60 years old make up one-fifth of the income.

Although five hundred per person is not much, there are so many people that it adds up to a large sum.

But this money is just a drop in the bucket for Ye Feng.

The village chief is sitting behind his desk, with the Ninth Five-Year Plan next to him, holding a pen in his hand.

Whoever takes one copy will be recorded, while Xiao Hao next to him will send someone to check the ID card to prevent anyone from fishing in troubled waters.

Among the crowd, an old lady was also mixed in, her eyes wandering.

This old lady is Lao Li's daughter-in-law. She is also 60 years old this year, so she came to receive a share of the money.

Originally, her son wouldn't let her come. After all, the Li family and the Ye family didn't deal with each other. If they couldn't get the money and were humiliated, the old Li family would lose all face.

But the old lady didn't think so.

This is money distributed by the village chief, so of course she wants it.

Soon it was the turn of the old lady from the Li family. She bared her few teeth and stretched out her orange peel-like hand.

"Hello, please show me your ID card!"

The smile on Mrs. Li's face froze, and she looked at the village chief who lowered his head to record.

"I'm already sixty! The village chief knows!"

"Please show me your ID card!"

The young man in charge of the inspection repeated.

The village chief raised his head: "My wife, please take it out and show it to him!"

Old Mrs. Li tremblingly took out her ID card from her pocket and handed it over reluctantly.

The young man took it, checked it, and returned it with both hands.

"Sorry, you are over sixty years old, so we cannot provide you with benefits!"

"What!"

Mrs. Li suddenly became anxious.

"I am old and my eyesight is hard to use, but you, a young man, can't use your eyesight either? My date of birth is clearly written on it, so why am I not sixty years old?"

Facing Mrs. Li's abuse, the young man said calmly.

"Old lady, don't worry, your ID card says it's the third day of the first lunar month, and today is the second day of the lunar month, so you're sixty years old!"

"Isn't it just one day away?"

"Not even a day away!"

The young man said it very mercilessly.

"Old lady, you'd better go back, there are people waiting behind you!"

"Yes! Old lady of the Li family, at worst, if you go back and wait for a day, she will be sixty years old!"

"Don't get in the way, we have to pay New Year's greetings to our relatives after we received the money!"

Mrs. Li's face suddenly wrinkled together, turning blue and red, looking very ugly.

"Village Chief! It's just one day before you give me a review! As for going online like this?"

The village chief put down the pen in his hand, took one out of the cigarette case and lit it.

"Lao Li's daughter-in-law, this one is one day short, and she is not yet sixty years old. As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules. If you are one day short and others are two days short, come back and check for three years and still get paid, we will be in chaos.

Already? You’d better go back!”

When the village chief said this, the face of Old Li's wife became even more ugly.

"No! I want to get money today! You must give it to me, or I won't leave!"

After saying that, Lao Li's wife started acting bad and sat down on the ground.

The village chief's face suddenly darkened. This was a challenge to his authority!

The daughter-in-law of Lao Li's family is notorious in the village. She loves to take advantage of her. She walks in front of other people's houses with mud on her feet. She is unrivaled in her mischief and mischief. When she was young, no one in the village dared to mess with her.

But she should never, never, should not behave in front of the village chief.

The village chief is not a cadre with a professional background. When he was young, he was a tyrant in the village, and no one dared to mess with him immediately.

Seeing the old Li family's daughter-in-law acting recklessly, the village chief just winked, and immediately a few good young men rushed out, pulled her arms and legs, and carried the old Li family's daughter-in-law out.

The screams of Lao Li's wife could be heard outside, and the villagers burst into laughter.

The village chief shook his head, put out the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray, picked up the pen on the table and continued to count.

This was just a small episode, and the villagers quickly forgot about it, queuing up and waiting for the welfare payment.

The old lady of the Li family was humiliated in the village committee. When she returned home and told her son and daughter-in-law about the incident, she was scolded again.

The old Li family is so obsessed with saving face, this kind of thing is like being slapped in the face.

What matters in the village is human relationships. I am one day short of turning sixty, so I shouldn't be so serious.

This must be a secret arrangement by the boy from the old Ye family, just to make the old lady from the Li family look embarrassed in front of Zhong Renian.

The daughter-in-law of the Li family was rude and scolded her mother-in-law. Mrs. Li felt aggrieved and locked herself in the room while wiping tears and didn't even eat lunch.

At this moment, Ye Feng was accompanying Russell Qin to the mountain to pay homage to his grandparents.

Large packets of paper money were burning, and Russell Qin was playing with the brazier while chattering about the past year to Ye Feng's grandparents.

The sky became overcast, and fine blood flowers soon appeared.

Two black umbrellas covered the head.

"Mr. Ye, go back, so as not to catch a cold."

Xiaohao stepped forward and looked at Russell Qin aside.

Ye Feng knelt down and kowtowed, then helped his mother up, stepping on the snow that turned into water on the ground, and walked down the mountain step by step.
