Chapter 4435: That's more like it

Hehua looked at the good cigarettes and wine on the table, the more she thought about it, the happier she became, and she said with a smile, "Xiaoqin, just come if you want! Why bring these things? Aren't you being too formal?"

Hearing Hehua's polite words, Sun Xiaoqin felt a bitterness in her heart, thinking to herself, "Is this something I really want to bring?" However, she still wore a smile on her face and said with a smile, "Our family's good days today are all thanks to the village secretary's help. Auntie, please don't mind this small gesture."

Hearing Sun Xiaoqin's words, Hehua smiled happily and said, "How could that be? Xiaoqin, what do you mean by saying that? Auntie Hehua doesn't like to hear it. Come over and play more often when you have time in the future."

At this time, seeing that it was already noon, Hehua said politely, "Why not stay for lunch?"

Sun Xiaoqin knew that this was a polite remark from Hehua. Besides, if she were to eat at the same table as Zhao Sanhu, she would definitely feel very uncomfortable, so she hurriedly said with a smile, "No need, Auntie Hehua. Maojuan is still waiting for me at home, so I won't disturb you, Auntie Hehua." Maojuan was the name of Sun Xiaoqin's daughter.

After speaking, Sun Xiaoqin greeted Zhao Sanhu and Hehua and hurriedly walked toward the door. Watching Sun Xiaoqin's retreating back, Hehua hurriedly picked up the bottle of good wine and asked Zhao Sanhu how much the wine cost. Upon learning that it wasn't very expensive, she said with slight dissatisfaction, "Why be so stingy!"

Zhao Sanhu looked at Hehua's dissatisfied appearance and said with a smile, "You understand the situation in Sun Xiaoqin's family, and she has sent more than once this year."

Hehua took the carton of good cigarettes and the bottle of good wine and put them into the cabinet in the room.

Zhao Sanhu watched Sun Xiaoqin disappear into the distance and couldn't help but stare blankly. These cigarettes and wine wouldn't make him happy at all; what he was most anxious about now was the "all-night talk" with Sun Xiaoqin tonight.

When Sun Xiaoqin returned home, she was a bit hesitant about whether to go to Zhao Sanhu's house tonight. Her heart was very conflicted. Looking at her honest husband and her daughter crying on the side, Sun Xiaoqin sighed deeply. At 7:30 in the evening, Sun Xiaoqin finally decided to go find Zhao Sanhu. She told her husband that she was going out to handle some business, and her husband nodded honestly. Sun Xiaoqin walked to the village secretary's door, only to find that village secretary Zhao Sanhu was already waiting at the door. She looked around and, seeing that no one noticed this side, hurriedly walked into Zhao Sanhu's house.

After walking into the room, Sun Xiaoqin didn't see Hehua's shadow, so she asked with some confusion, "Village secretary, where is Auntie Hehua?"

Village secretary Zhao Sanhu closed the door, walked into the room, and said with a grin, "Your Auntie Hehua went out to play mahjong and won't be back tonight."

Sun Xiaoqin nodded. Looking at Zhao Sanhu's lewd appearance, she didn't expect that he had prepared everything; it turned out he was just waiting for her to deliver herself to his door.

Sun Xiaoqin was concerned about the contracting of the fish pond, because the fish pond was their family's source of livelihood, so she said in a low voice, "Village secretary, about the fish pond..."

Before she could finish her sentence, village secretary Zhao Sanhu waved his hand, smiled lewdly, and said, "Sun Xiaoqin, sit down first. We'll talk about anything slowly later." As he spoke, village secretary Zhao Sanhu walked into the inner room.

Sun Xiaoqin had no choice but to sit on the sofa on the side. The soft leather sofa brought her a different feeling; this kind of high-end leather sofa was a very rare piece of furniture in the village. The previous few times she came to Zhao Sanhu's house, Sun Xiaoqin was on guard against Zhao Sanhu like a wolf, so she had no leisure to examine the situation in his house. In fact, she was already riding a tiger and couldn't get off. Because she had no other way, she thought helplessly, "If I die, I die," and simply let go of her heavy thoughts and looked around the room.

The environment inside the room was neat and refreshing, and the orange-yellow light made one daydream. Sun Xiaoqin had attended university in the provincial capital and had been to the homes of female classmates in the city, seeing the renovations of city homes, and found that the renovation of Zhao Sanhu's house was not inferior to that of city homes. This made Sun Xiaoqin feel a hint of jealousy in her heart. Everyone wanted to live in such an environment, but she could only think about it, because she knew very well that all of this in front of her was just a mirage-like fantasy for her, who lived on the poverty line.

All of Zhao Sanhu's current possessions were exploited from the masses. He was responding to the government's call to let some people get rich first, but he was one of those people who got rich first, raking most of the common people's money into his own pockets, while the majority of the common people still hovered on the poverty line. The common people in the village also knew that Zhao Sanhu had eaten a lot of the villagers' blood and sweat money and had tried to topple him, but they heard that Zhao Sanhu had a backer in the Town Government, so there was no way at all, and they could only watch him sit firmly in the position of village secretary.

Just as Sun Xiaoqin was letting her imagination run wild, she heard a "creak" sound by her ear. She instinctively raised her head and saw Zhao Sanhu walk out from the room and come straight to her.

"Village secretary, the fish..." This was the issue Sun Xiaoqin was most concerned about, but before she could speak, she saw Zhao Sanhu wave his hand with a smile and say amiably, "Talking outside might be heard by others. Let's go to the inner room to talk!"

Hearing Zhao Sanhu say this, Sun Xiaoqin's heart couldn't help but "thump." Although she had long known what kind of things would happen, when she had to face such things, she still felt some panic and unease.

Sun Xiaoqin said in a low voice, "Village secretary, let's just talk outside!" As soon as she finished speaking, she found Zhao Sanhu casting a cold, piercing, and sharp gaze at her, and he said with some anger in his tone, "Sun Xiaoqin, you have read books and are a smart person. You should know what you came here for tonight. If you want to raise the yellow eels well, I don't want you to continue pretending not to understand my meaning." ===== CHAPTER 4436 =====
