Chapter 37: The Hypocritical Town Head

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

If the town head sided with Wang Dazhu, it would undoubtedly confirm what Wang Dazhu said just now. The town head did ask them to collect protection fees.

In order to prove his innocence, the town head would not side with Wang Dazhu.

Hence, the town head had no choice but to let the guards arrest Wang Dazhu and his guys.

“Manager Bai, don’t worry. They won’t bully you again in the future! If you didn’t tell me that Wang Dazhu and his guy had used my name to bully the people, I will still be fooled by them and even misunderstood by the people in the town. Thank you very much!”

After the town head said those insincere words to Bai Jinyao, he looked at the people who were crowding in front of Bai Jinyao’s house.

“Everyone, don’t worry! In the future, if anyone bullies you, you can come to the local government and tell me!”

“As the town head of Qianshui Town, I will definitely protect the people of Qianshui Town!”

When the people in Qianshui Town encountered problems in the past, they tried to report them to the officials.

However, the town head only dealt with these problems perfunctorily and left those people alone after that.

Over time, the people knew that the town head didn’t care about them at all.

But tonight, Bai Jinyao’s words and actions, as well as the town head’s words, gave the people a new understanding.

Regardless of whether the town head’s words were true or not, the people in the town treated them as the truth for the time being.

Some of the courageous guys even began to complain to the town head.

In an instant, the town head was surrounded by the people, talking one after another. It was as noisy as if they were in a market during the daytime.

Seeing that there was nothing that she could do now, Bai Jinyu quietly closed the door.

Luo Xichu had been leaning against the wall with his head lowered the entire time. And he was wearing some really light clothes.

Bai Jinyao walked in front of him. She bit her lips and had a complicated expression.

“Mr. Luo, thank you…”

Before Bai Jinyao could finish speaking, Luo Xichu’s body suddenly shook and he fell straight toward her.

Bai Jinyao was shocked and subconsciously reached out to catch Luo Xichu. Luo Xichu’s head hit Bai Jinyao’s shoulder and Luo Xichu’s whole body was in her arms.

Bai Jinyao didn’t have time to say anything. She felt that the person in her arms seemed to be burning up.

She was shocked and quickly carried Luo Xichu back to the bridal chamber and put him on the bed.

Luo Xichu’s eyes were tightly closed, and his face was red. He was so heated that he was talking nonsense.

Bai Jinyao covered him with the quilt and went out to boil some water to decoct his medicine.

However, as soon as she went out, she found that Mrs. Bai, who was sitting on the chair just now, had fallen to the ground and even fainted!

Bai Jinyao was shocked and her heart skipped a beat.

She hurriedly ran up and squatted in front of Mrs. Bai.

“Mom! What happened, mom? Wake up!”

Bai Jinyao didn’t know what was going on with her mother, so she didn’t dare to move her.

She called out a few times, but Mrs. Bai did not respond.

Even though it was summer, the ground would still be fairly cold at night.

Bai Jinyao planned to go outside to get a doctor, but she was worried about her mother and Luo Xichu, who had a fever.

She ran back to the house and took out a quilt to cover Mrs. Bai. After that, she took a wet handkerchief and put it on Luo Xichu’s burning forehead. Then she hurriedly went out to find a doctor.

Fortunately, the town head was still surrounded by the people outside.
