After parting with Wu Guifang, Liu Ergou quickly returned home. The first thing he did was throw himself onto his small bed. In just a few minutes, he fell into a deep sleep, not waking until dawn.
When the sun rose, Liu Ergou tidied himself up and headed toward the village committee office. Today was a big day—it concerned the lease for the wasteland in Fengzhu Village.
He recalled what Wu Guifang had said. No one in the village wants to lease the wasteland, so it shouldn't be too hard to get my hands on it.
Soon, Liu Ergou arrived at the village committee office. Without the slightest courtesy, he strode directly inside.
The office was no longer empty. Liu Jingming and Lu Hongda had arrived at some point and were now sitting in the main seats. As soon as they saw Liu Ergou, they stared at him unblinkingly.
Liu Jingming spoke with irritation, "Liu Ergou, what are you doing here at the village committee? Are you looking for trouble?"
