Chapter 393: Captivated
"Snap out of it, so many people are looking at you." The youth saw that Cao Yun seemed to be in a daze and could not help but remind him.
"Ah... Let’s go." Cao Yun seemed as though he had just woken up from a dream.
Chu Ning didn’t know what this duo was thinking, and she didn’t see their strange behavior.
There was a stove in front of her. Chu Ning’s job was to add firewood to it, ensure the supply of hot water, and serve tea to the guests.
Laoshan Village was remote and in such a place, the power of the village chief was infinitely amplified. Although the chief of Houtu Village was greedy, he had no right to interfere in the specific matters of the villagers’ families. After all, he had to abide by the law.
However, in Laoshan Village and the surrounding villages, the village chief’s words were equivalent to the law. Usually, whatever happened in the village, the village chief would make the decision.
After all, the nearest small police station was more than 100 kilometers away, and the police in this station were akin to temporary staff. They were police in name, but in fact, they didn’t care about anything. They were also too lazy to travel long distances to help these villagers deal with disputes.
From the respectful attitude of the Laoshan Village villagers towards Cao Yun, it could be seen that Cao Yun would take over the position of village chief in the future. It was almost equivalent to inheritance.
