Zhao Xiande originally had an arrogant look on his face, but after hearing Zhao Shuzhuo's impolite words to him, his expression froze instantly.

Then, anger surged in his heart like a raging tide. His face turned from red to blue, and veins popped out on his forehead.

His eyes were as big as copper bells, and he shouted at Zhao Shuzhuo:

"Whose family are you from? Think carefully about your last name! How can you talk to me, your cousin, like that?"

"Do you still have some manners and manners? This house belongs to our Zhao family. Who allowed them to live here?"

"I asked them to bring me some game as a gift, which was a bargain for them. They should feel honored."

"After all, I am a well-known figure in this village. I usually take good care of them."

"Isn't it only natural for them to express their opinions now?"

When Zhao Shuzhuo heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

His laughter was full of sarcasm and disdain. He looked at Zhao Xiande and said word by word:

"This house is my house. I can let whoever I want live in it. What does it have to do with you?"

"You took good care of them, but what did you take care of them for? In this village, you took advantage of the villagers, who else did you take good care of?"

"Do you think you can interfere with my life at will? You take yourself too seriously. Don't you want game? I have some at home."

Having said that, he turned and walked into the inner room. After a while, he came out carrying an antelope.

"I'll throw it away and I won't give it to you."

As soon as Zhao Xiande saw the antelope, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his greedy eyes stared at the antelope, as if he had seen a priceless treasure.

However, when he heard Zhao Shuzhuo's tough words again, the anger in his heart was ignited again.

He was so angry that he was shaking all over and pointed his finger at Zhao Shuzhuo.

"You...you...you unfilial son! Just wait, all of you just wait! I will definitely make you pay. Humph, let's wait and see!"

As he spoke, he stomped his feet hard, as if he wanted to stamp a big hole in the ground.

That angry look made people feel a little scared. Zhao Xiande walked out angrily with heavy steps.

The departing figure seemed to carry endless anger, and every step seemed to be venting the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Wang Jianguo watched Zhao Xiande leave angrily, and a trace of worry surged in his heart. He turned his head and looked at Zhao Shuzhuo, and asked with concern in his eyes:

"Brother Zhao, he is your cousin after all. Is it okay for him to leave in anger like this?"

"Will it not affect your relationship? Why don't you just give him the sheep? I don't want to make things difficult for you."

"After all, if I cause a conflict between you and your nephew because of me, I would feel bad about it."

Zhao Shuzhuo listened to Wang Jianguo's words and sighed slightly. There was a hint of helplessness on his face, but his eyes were firm. He said slowly:

"It's okay, Jianguo. I've had many arguments with him before. He has always been so overbearing and tyrannical."

"I really can't stand what he did. Why should we give him the sheep? He hasn't done anything for us."

"He always wants to take from others but is never willing to give in. I can't give in to him so easily and encourage his bad habits."

Zhao Shuzhuo paused for a moment and then continued:

"I know he might hate me even more because of this, but I don't regret it."

"I can't let him do whatever he wants and I can't let him think that everyone should listen to him. I have my own principles and bottom line."

"I can't give up on these things just because he's my cousin. If I give in to him every time, he'll just go too far."

Wang Jianguo listened to Zhao Shuzhuo's words and was full of admiration for him. He knew that Zhao Shuzhuo was a principled and responsible person. He nodded and said:

"Brother Zhao, I understand. You are right. We can't let others bully us."

“If everyone could be as courageous as you and stick to their principles, the world would be a better place.”

Wang Jianguo stood there, frowning slightly, thinking over and over again in his mind. After a moment, he finally decided to confess to Zhao Shuzhuo.

He looked at Zhao Shuzhuo and said solemnly:

"Brother Zhao, I have something to confess to you. If I can find Secretary Dong when I go to the city this time, I want to ask him clearly."

"Does he know clearly what your cousin did? Does he support or oppose it?"

"You also know that the things that have happened during this period have filled me with doubts and uneasiness."

"If Secretary Dong supports your uncle's approach, I think I might leave Jianye Village."

"After all, I really can't afford to offend. I'm just an ordinary person who just wants to live a peaceful life and doesn't want to get involved in these right and wrongs."

"But if it wasn't Secretary Dong's order, then I will ask Secretary Dong to remove Zhao Xiande from his position as village chief."

"I think you and he are different people. You are upright, kind, and responsible, while he is selfish, overbearing, and tyrannical."

"So I don't want to hide it from you. I think you have the right to know what I think."

Zhao Shuzhuo listened to Wang Jianguo's words and lowered his head in deep thought. His face showed a complex expression, with both dissatisfaction with his uncle and understanding of Wang Jianguo.

After a while, he raised his head, looked at Wang Jianguo, and said firmly:

"Brother Jianguo, I agree with your approach. Although he is my cousin, I cannot stand what he did."

"He took advantage of his position as village chief to do whatever he wanted without considering other people's feelings. His behavior has seriously affected the harmony and stability of the village."

"If Secretary Dong can sanction him, then get rid of him. I've had enough of him."

"I don't want the whole village to fall into chaos because of his wrong behavior. I believe that the village will be a better place without him."

Wang Jianguo was relieved when he heard what Zhao Shuzhuo said. He was afraid that Zhao Shuzhuo would have objections, after all, Zhao Xiande was his uncle.

But now it seems that my worries are unnecessary. Zhao Shuzhuo is a reasonable person who can distinguish right from wrong.

Since Zhao Shuzhuo also agreed, it would be much easier. Wang Jianguo secretly made up his mind to find Secretary Dong and resolve the matter.

He believes that as long as everyone works together, Jianye Village will become a better place.
