Old Man Sun rose from the ground, gritting his teeth, careful not to overstep. Zhu Yueju, covering her mouth, exclaimed incoherently, “He needs to pay a thousand or ten thousand dollars.”

“Sure,” Zhou Hengyang lowered his head, displaying a seemingly affable demeanour. “I just don’t know if you’ll live long enough to collect it.”

Terrified, Zhu Yueju hastily sought refuge behind Sun Dahai.

Zhou Hengyang snorted, taking a thick wad of cash from his wallet. He handed it to Old Man Sun, saying politely, “If it’s not enough, come find me. I’d appreciate it if you did. I am afraid others might disrupt the harmonious neighbourly relations.”

Old Man Sun accepted the money with a cold glance, sensing he had thoroughly tested Zhou Hengyang’s patience. The current Zhou Hengyang resembled Su Xuewen from his past, someone he had never dared to cross.

Now, he knew better than to provoke Zhou Hengyang.

He had to accept his misfortune even though his daughter was in jail. Offending Zhou Hengyang would bring more trouble to his family.

The more courteous Zhou Hengyang appeared, the more ominous his threats felt. A person who could smile while uttering threats was truly someone to be feared.

“Enough!” Old Man Sun conceded to reality, asking Sun Dahai and Sun Dahe to pull Zhu Yueju away.

“Such a large sum.” Villagers were astonished when Zhou Hengyang revealed his wallet.

“It’s worth getting beaten up for that much money!”

“Zhu Yueju must have made a fortune.”

Some envied her, making Li Youcai so angry he nearly fainted.

“Shut up, all of you. If anyone wants to get beaten up, come to me.”

“The village chief, how dare us to come to you!”

“We don’t want to get beaten up.”

“Humph!” Li Youcai snorted, glaring at Su Wen. “Wenwen, sit in the front. Don’t hide at the back.” He intended for Su Wen to sit right under his nose and see any trouble she might cause.

“Okay!” Su Wen compliantly agreed, following Li Youcai to the front row.

Zhou Hengyang winked at her and stood at the back with familiar faces.

After the commotion settled, the village chief and department director scolded the troublemaker. Once calm returned, they delved into the day’s agenda.

“Let’s discuss about electricity!”

The purpose of the villagers’ meeting was to vote on the matter of electricity. There had been a meeting the previous year, where many opposed monthly electricity bills. However, with electricity becoming more essential, Trinity Village was falling behind.

“Saving a bit each month, how much money can you save?” Li Youcai stood on the concrete platform, fervently advocating. “You all think you are meticulous in budgeting. Do you know how to live? Do you comprehend the convenience of having electricity, using electric lights and phones? With electricity, we can purchase a TV, stay updated with news, and watch TV dramas.”

The mention of TV dramas sparked lively discussions among the villagers. Watching TV from the comfort of their homes was a luxury they eagerly antic.i.p.ated. The village chief and director emphasized the perks, mentioning the joy of using an electric fan in the summer.

“Electric fan,” someone chuckled. “Village Chief, it’s autumn. There is no need for an electric fan.”
