Reborn in the 60s and adopted

Although they are mature inside, their immature appearance makes it difficult to imagine their true mental age. In this village, when villagers see these two children, they just greet them politely at most and don't say anything too much.

Not long after, the two arrived at the village chief's house. Tang Mei shouted at the top of her voice: "Grandpa Village Chief! Grandpa Village Chief! Are you home?"

The village chief's slightly hoarse response came from inside the house: "Who's looking for me? Ahem..."

"It's me, Tang Mei!"

"Oh, it's the little girl. Come in quickly, the door is not closed."

Hearing this, the two of them gently pushed open the door and walked into the house, only to see the village chief lying leisurely on a bamboo lounge chair in the yard, with a pipe in his mouth.

"Grandpa village chief, have you had dinner?" Tang Mei asked, blinking her big eyes.

The village chief looked up at her and said with a smile, "Why, little girl, are you going to treat me to dinner?"

Tang Mei immediately showed a flattering expression, ran up to him happily, squatted down and gently patted the village chief's thigh, and said coquettishly: "Hey, come on, let's go to my house to eat."

The village chief was comforted by his beating and sighed, "You girl, do you have something to ask of me? You are so eager to help me. I won't go. Your family is busy now and there are many people."

Tang Mei gave the village chief a thumbs up and said, "Grandpa village chief is awesome. I heard from people in the village that Mao Ming rebelled against the labor camp."

The village chief was furious when he heard what he said. He thought that the village would be the last one in the selection of outstanding village collectives this year.

"One rat shit spoils the whole pot of soup"

"Well, I also heard that the person who ordered him to do bad things was his second uncle." Tang Mei looked at the village chief's face carefully.

"Humph, everyone knows it's him. He's full of bad intentions." The village chief said angrily.

"Then how did he become the village party secretary?" Tang Mei asked curiously.

"The school you are attending now used to be the home of a landlord. You should all know the story of his family. Let me tell you something you may not know. He met the deputy director of the town when he went to the county to be commended for his meritorious service in reporting the landlord. As time went by, I don't know how it happened, but he became the son-in-law of the deputy director, and was then directly appointed as the party secretary of our village." The village chief said and sighed again.

"I was against it at the time, but the result was that the father-in-law came directly to our village and even met with me privately to ask him to give his son-in-law a chance. What could I do? He holds a higher official position than me and is directly in charge of us."

Tang Mei and Lin Xiao looked at each other and realized that the purpose of their visit today had been achieved.

"Hey, are you two here just to listen to stories?" the village chief asked curiously.

Tang Mei said with a smile, "Is it just that the village chief's words sound good? The villagers said that he has a backer. We also want to know how the village party secretary became an official? Who is the backer?"

The village chief said to them with a serious and cautious look on his face: "You two are still young, so don't meddle in the affairs of the adult world, and don't get involved easily. Do you understand?"

Tang Mei blinked her bright eyes, nodded obediently and sensibly, and replied in a sweet voice: "I know, Grandpa Village Chief, don't worry! I'm just a little kid, what can I do?"

The village chief heard Tang Mei's answer and thought it made sense. After all, the two of them were still so young that they really couldn't take on too much responsibility or make major decisions. So he lay back in his worn-out but comfortable chair with peace of mind.

"Grandpa Village Chief, let's go home first~" Tang Mei said sweetly.

"Well, okay, go home, but don't forget to close the door for me." The village chief responded gently.

Then, the two of them stepped out of the village chief's house and walked towards home slowly and leisurely.

Along the way, Tang Mei lowered her head in deep thought, as if she was thinking about something important. Suddenly, she raised her head, turned her gaze to Lin Xiao beside her, and asked softly: "Lin Xiao, what do you think about what the village chief said just now?"

"I think his father-in-law is his greatest support. We have to find a way to prevent his father-in-law from helping him," Lin Xiao said after thinking for a while.

"Yeah, I thought so too. How can I alienate them?" Tang Wei's brain began to spin rapidly at this time.

At this moment, an extremely harsh sound suddenly came from the front, like a sharp blade, ruthlessly cutting off Tang Mei's thoughts.

"Oh my! Where did this handsome young man come from? He doesn't look like someone from our village. I've never seen him before." The widow Liu twisted her graceful and charming body, looking up and down at Lin Xiao with her pair of phoenix eyes, her eyes flashing with undisguised greed.

Facing the blunt gaze of Widow Liu, Lin Xiao said nothing and stood there like a sculpture. Seeing this, Widow Liu's smile became brighter and brighter. She couldn't help but sneer, "What's the matter? Are you dumb? Hahahaha... Could it be that the girl from the Tang family is planning to find a son-in-law for herself?"

Hearing this, Tang Mei was immediately very angry, but more of a helpless person. She really couldn't understand why the widow Liu spoke so harshly to her, as she didn't seem to have provoked her in the first place.

"Aunt Liu, what you said is a bit too much! Why are you scolding me? Do you think I'm easy to bully and you dare not talk back? To be honest, who is the person flirting in the warehouse? It's you! You flirt with men everywhere, and you still have the nerve to blame others. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it! You are cuckolding your dead husband, aren't you afraid that he will come to your house at night?" Tang Mei first carefully observed the surroundings and made sure that there was no one else before she lowered her voice and spoke to Widow Liu.

Widow Liu was so angry that her eyes widened and she shouted angrily: "You~you stinky girl, you know shit! Stop talking nonsense!" Before she finished her words, she raised her hand and tried to slap Tang Mei in the face.

At the critical moment, Lin Xiao quickly stretched out a hand and firmly grasped the wrist of Widow Liu. However, because Widow Liu used too much force, a clearly visible red mark was immediately left on Lin Xiao's palm.

Seeing this, Tang Mei's anger grew even stronger. She saw that Widow Liu not only argued, but also beat people, and even injured Lin Xiao, and she was immediately furious. So, she used the crouching and crotch-lifting technique she had practiced, and kicked Widow Liu hard.

"Widow Liu, you are going too far. Even though I am young, you cannot bear to mess with me."

Widow Liu held her leg that was kicked and hurt, pointed at Tang Mei and said harshly: "You...you little bitch, just wait for me!" Then she ran away in shame.

After Widow Liu left, Tang Mei looked at the slap marks on Lin Xiao's face and felt a little distressed. She said to Lin Xiao unhappily, "You're a grown man, don't you know how to hide? And, can't you talk back?"

Lin Xiao looked at the bad-tempered Tang Mei and said aggrievedly: "I took a slap for helping you, and you still blame me."

"Hmph, you don't know how to hide and you're still feeling wronged here." Tang Mei said this, but she felt a little soft in her heart.

"What's going on with this Widow Liu? Did you offend her? You've almost offended everyone in the village." Lin Xiao asked.

"What do you mean I have offended everyone? The Mao family and she are targeting me for no reason. And do you know how to speak? I am obviously a cute little girl who is loved by everyone and makes flowers bloom. How do I know how I have offended her? I only heard my third aunt mention her name. This is the first time I have chatted with her. How do I know how I have offended her?" Tang Mei shrugged helplessly and spread her hands. She continued, "However, I do have a good idea, but it's a bit unkind..."

When Lin Xiao heard this, he immediately came up to her and stared at her curiously, his eyes seemed to say, "Tell me quickly, I want to hear it."
