Chapter 149: Jealousy, Making a Fool of Oneself_1

Qi Shuli didn't care about these people; after all, they weren't native to the land but sent from elsewhere for reformation. Why should he be so polite to them?

"If they lack enthusiasm, that's easy to deal with. Take them out and re-educate them a few times, and they'll have enthusiasm," Qi Shuli said lightly, unconcerned. "They come here, are fed well, and looked after; what's a bit of work? They're here for labor reform; it's what they're supposed to do. Besides, the hill behind Qijia Village belongs to us; it has nothing to do with them. Why can't our village take these things?"

As the second in command in the village, Qi Shuli never missed an opportunity to undercut Village Chief Qi, and this time was no exception. He insinuated, privately and publicly, that Village Chief Qi favored outsiders over his own villagers.

Village Chief Qi chuckled and said, "I knew you'd say that! Take a look."

He placed two pieces of paper on the Eight Immortals Table.
