Chapter 690 0692 Nomination for the Chief
Speaking of this, the village began to talk endlessly about the injustices in the past: "Ah Li, I remember that one year, the imperial court wanted to fight a war, and said they wanted to recruit people to dig iron ore. Mining is a hard job, and it's hard work every now and then. Terrible! Logically speaking, each village should share the mining corvee equally according to the number of people. But at that time, the head of the village was from the next village, and he favored his own people, so he bullied our village and reported the mining corvee. Most of them belonged to our village! During that corvée, several families lost males.”

"In one more year, going to the river to build canals is also hard work, and our village is the unlucky one."

What the village chief said, because Su Li was still young back then, he didn't know about the inside story.

At the end of the village chief’s speech, he said with emotion: “Oh, at that time, I argued and quarreled with the village chief, and I insisted on asking the village chief to redistribute the heads, but people saw that the village chief of a poor village like me was a fart, and I didn’t care at all. Talk to me. It’s really a turn of events. When we village chiefs got together a few days ago, the other village chiefs looked at me differently. They were all flattering, for fear of offending me. The children from their village come to our Haizi Academy to study! I said this time that the head of the district should be selected from our village, and they didn’t dare to fart a single one, and they all agreed.”

Su Li smiled and said, "Village Chief, I really didn't expect that building a school would have such a big influence."

"Isn't that right?" The village chief smiled, "We have something that others don't have, now it's others' turn to beg us! Ah Li, I was thinking, this school was built with money from you and your fourth uncle. I have given the most credit to you, so I want to ask you if you have any candidates for the election of the chief."

"Eh, I nominate the village chief?" Su Li looked at the village chief in surprise, "Well, if I'm the nominee, does it count?"

The village chief slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "It counts! Ah Li, your words count. You are a real boy, smart and capable. Whoever you recommend to be the head of the village is right! As long as you say a word, who do you say is the right one?" The chief, whoever is the chief!"

Su Li was overjoyed all of a sudden, she didn't expect that she would suddenly have the right to speak in the election of the village head.

You must know that the head of this place is a fat job that everyone fights for. Now Su Li can decide with a single sentence, who will manage several villages and thousands of households!
Although Su Li was happy, he didn't get excited and became impulsive. Instead, he said to the village chief, "The selection of the village chief is a big matter. I have to go back and think it over carefully, and choose a suitable person."

The village head smiled and said: "Okay, then you should think about it carefully, just tell me when you think about it, I'll talk to the other village heads, report the name to the government, and it will be done!"

Su Li went home happily now. Seeing Su Li so happy, Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Ah Li, why are you so happy? Is there something good about it?"

Su Li then told Wang about the fact that the village head asked her to choose the head of the village. When Wang heard this, she stared in surprise: "Oh, the village head asked my daughter to choose the head of the village. Oh, it's amazing! Ah Li , you have to think carefully about your personal choice, you must be able to convince the public, and you must not let everyone down."

"Mother, don't worry, I'll think about it carefully, and I will definitely recommend a suitable person." Su Li said with a smile.

Soon, the news that the village chief asked Su Li to elect the village chief spread like a gust of wind throughout the village.

The villagers were all amazed. First, it had been several generations, and because the village was poor, there had never been a village chief. Second, the village chief actually asked a woman to elect the village chief.
