Stunning Dragon Wife-Chapter 24 - 23
Chapter 24: Chapter 23
Su Xiangmei was truly skilled at seducing men,, even deliberately leaning forward while she spoke to enhance the physical intimacy.
Zhang Xiaoshan’s bones felt a bit soft.
But he quickly snapped out of it.
He had more important things to do and absolutely could not fall for the seductions of Widow Su.
There was another very important reason—Su Xiangmei had a daughter named Li Ya, who had grown up following closely behind Zhang Xiaoshan, and their relationship was quite good. Now, Li Ya was studying at County First Middle School. If something really happened with Widow Su, how could he face Li Ya afterward?
"No, Aunt Xiang Mei, we should keep some distance, after all, you’re now the village chief’s woman,, and I’m out of your league."
Zhang Xiaoshan gently pushed Widow Su away.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t take the bait,, Su Xiangmei immediately became a bit anxious and turned to Wu Damming, saying.
"Wu Damming, say something."
"If I say no, then no. You insisted on coming. You started this mess. If you don’t clean up your act, I will tell everyone it was you who forced me..."
In the remote countryside of White Dragon Village, women still greatly value their reputation.
Having been a widow for almost ten years, if people found out that she was not behaving like a proper widow in White Dragon Village, wouldn’t she be drowned in spit?
Upon hearing this, Wu Damming felt both angry and annoyed.
However, he had gradually calmed down.
Weighing the pros and cons, he still compromised with Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Heh, I was just joking. Xiao Shan, you’re one of the few university graduates in our village, how could I actually drive you out, heh heh heh..."
Wu Damming forced a laugh.
Zhang Xiaoshan felt smug inside and retorted Wu Damming, saying,
"Uncle Daming, that’s not what you were saying just now. Weren’t you still holding a grudge against me for breaking off the engagement with your niece, Wu Xiaoru, and for beating up people from the Wu family?"
Wu Damming was annoyed by Zhang Xiaoshan’s sharp retort but, thinking of the tigress at home, he could only reply in a lowered voice and said,
"I am aware of that matter. It was Ru’s mother who acted unscrupulously, hiding the truth to let Ru go on a matchmaking date. It was her family’s fault, not yours. Those boys of the Wu family are useless every day. You helped Uncle Daming teach them a lesson,, and I should thank you for that."
Wu Damming was always domineering and tyrannical,, but his attitude today was unprecedented.
The reason was simple.
First, he was worried that Jia Lanhua would find out about this incident.
Second, village rules were strict, and as village chief, he couldn’t be an exception. If he were the first to break the rules, who would follow them afterward, turning White Dragon Village into chaos?
Third, Widow Su’s deceased husband was from the Li family, the second most influential family in White Dragon Village after the Wu family. If the Li family members found out about this matter, they definitely wouldn’t let it go easily.
No matter what, the events of tonight absolutely couldn’t be leaked.
Seeing the usually arrogant and domineering Wu Damming speaking to him with such a humbled attitude, Zhang Xiaoshan felt a sense of exhilaration.
"Alright, Uncle Daming, since you’ve said this much, regardless, I must grant you this face. I can pretend I haven’t seen anything tonight,, but you must promise me two things," Zhang Xiaoshan said.
"Promise you two things, let’s hear them," Wu Damming felt like Zhang Xiaoshan was setting him up,, but what else could he say at this juncture?
Zhang Xiaoshan spoke directly.
"When I first came back to the village to work as a village doctor, you promised me a subsidy of two thousand a month, but it’s been half a year, and you haven’t given me a cent. I want to get back my money."
Wu Damming bit his jaw angrily upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan’s words.
Actually, according to his plan, he had never intended to give Zhang Xiaoshan this money, perhaps a few thousand to send him off. But now, it seemed he had no choice.
"Alright, since the money is rightfully yours, I’ll give it to you. Come to the village committee office tomorrow and collect it from the accountant, Ge Xiue," Wu Damming reluctantly made the promise.
Upon hearing Wu Damming agree, Zhang Xiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief.
Having waited so long,, he was finally getting his money back.
"Now, tell me the second thing," Wu Damming urged.
He felt sure Zhang Xiaoshan was saving the best for last.
Indeed.
Zhang Xiaoshan began.
"This second matter is also quite simple for you, Uncle Daming. Normally,, a village doctor should be officially staffed, but I’m still a temporary worker. I want you to help me find a way to make my position permanent!"
"What?"
When Wu Damming heard Zhang Xiaoshan make this request, he exploded.
