Ever since Dragon Girl Susu had cleansed and renewed him, the already clever Zhang Xiaoshan had become even sharper, perfectly handling social affairs.
How could he not know what Wu Daming meant?
Zhang Xiaoshan showed a puzzled expression.
"Village chief, what are you talking about? What did I see? Didn’t I just get here? I only saw you smoking alone."
Hearing Zhang Xiaoshan say this, a hint of appreciation appeared on Wu Daming’s face.
"Kid, you’re smart to know when to advance and when to retreat."
"Remember, if you dare reveal a word about today’s event and shame me, I will make sure you regret it."
During the conversation, Wu Daming opened a drawer in the coffee table.
An envelope was taken out and handed to Zhang Xiaoshan.
"This is an introduction letter from the village and also your examination admission card. In three days, you’ll go to the county town to participate in the unified examination organized by the higher-ups. Whether you pass or not depends on you."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan immediately took the envelope eagerly.
Hadn’t he studied for so many years just for a stable job?
Although being a village doctor in a small place like White Dragon Village for Wu Xiaoru was somewhat beneath his abilities, if he could become official, there would still be opportunities for development. In the future, he could surely transfer to a town or even the county.
"Thank you, village chief. I won’t forget this favor."
Although Zhang Xiaoshan strongly disliked Wu Daming, he still smiled warmly.
Wu Daming coldly snorted in displeasure.
"That job was originally reserved for Lingling, but you snatched it. Just enjoy it secretly. But I warn you, I’ve done what I could. Whether you can pass the exam and secure the position depends on your own ability. If you fail, don’t blame me!"
"Also, if a fourth person finds out about me and Widow Su, I’ll definitely have it out with you."
Zhang Xiaoshan tucked the items into his pocket and sincerely said to Wu Daming,
"Village chief, I’m aware of your status in White Dragon Village. I just want to make a living; how could I dare truly offend you? Rest assured, I’ll never mention Widow Su again. It’s as if I saw nothing that night."
Though that’s what was said,
both Zhang Xiaoshan and Wu Daming were well aware. Fınd the newest release on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝙣𝙚𝙩
An incident had occurred, and even if Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t use it later to threaten Wu Daming, Wu would have to show him some respect during certain situations. If Zhang Xiaoshan were truly pushed, neither of them would have an easy time.
"Alright, I’ve got a headache, just go away."
Wu Daming waved Zhang Xiaoshan away, showing a face full of depression and impatience.
It makes sense, losing the secure job he had long prepared for his daughter and getting scolded by his wife; who wouldn’t feel upset?
Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t want to deal with Wu Daming’s sour face, so he turned and left.
Soon after, Zhang Xiaoshan returned home.
Yu Xiuxiu had been anxiously waiting.
"Why did it take you so long to come back?"
Yu Xiuxiu had waited over an hour, clearly a bit anxious, fearing that Wu Daming might have troubled Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan explained, smiling brightly.
"Sister-in-law, don’t worry. Wu Daming didn’t trouble me; instead, he told me some good news."
"What good news?" Yu Xiuxiu, seeing Zhang Xiaoshan’s delight, became curious.
Zhang Xiaoshan spoke cheerfully.
He took out the letter and handed it to Yu Xiuxiu.
Yu Xiuxiu skeptically accepted it and quickly broke into a delighted smile.
"What, Wu Daming agreed to make you official?"
"How, how, how is that possible? You hit a member of the Wu family, and not only did Wu Daming not trouble you, but he’s also making you official?"
Yu Xiuxiu was stunned.
Zhang Xiaoshan continued beamingly.
"Who knows? Maybe Wu Daming had a change of heart, feeling guilty for his family’s actions, and wanted to make it up to me. Besides, it’s just an opportunity for an exam. Whether I can become official still depends on my own efforts."
At this moment, Yu Xiuxiu was so delighted that she wasn’t thinking about the details.
"Anyway, this is great news. Let’s eat first, and after lunch, we can pay respects to your parents and brother with incense."
Zhang Xiaoshan nodded.
Soon, after lunch, Zhang Xiaoshan, as Yu Xiuxiu requested, took a trip to his parents’ and brother’s graves.
"Mom, Dad, brother, rest assured, I will definitely make something of myself."
Having done this, Zhang Xiaoshan headed to the clinic.
Although being a village health worker was relaxed, striking the bell for the day was necessary.
Sure enough, about a hundred meters away, Zhang Xiaoshan saw a woman with a large behind frantically pacing outside the clinic.
"Isn’t that Widow Su? What is she doing at the clinic?"
"Could she be trying to seduce me, drag me down?"
Thinking this, Zhang Xiaoshan turned to leave.
But Widow Su had already seen him.
"Little Shan, you’re finally here, don’t go, please don’t go."
Widow Su rushed forward and grabbed Zhang Xiaoshan’s arm.
