Chapter 794: Chapter 794 Secular Life "Deputy County Magistrate!" This remark left the members of the Xu Family, who were originally standing at the door watching the excitement, looking at each other in dismay.
Despite Liu Shengrui being just a minor section chief within the County Government, his standing in the Xu Family was quite high, settling both significant and minor matters, invariably the one who held the seat of honor. Thus, no one dared to disbelieve his words.

Liu Shengrui quickly stepped forward and pushed him aside, "A waste who can't even understand human speech, roll aside! This is the Xu Family's place, not the Li Family's. It's not your turn to act out here!" After reprimanding Li Canglu, Liu Shengrui then turned to Lin Fan and said, "County Magistrate Lin, are you alright? I just arrived a bit late, I didn't expect such a scene." "It's fine. I originally cto accompany Huizhen and Hui Fang to visit their elders, but it seems like I'm not particularly welchere. I think it's better to leave; let's go." Lin Fan glanced at Li Canglu, still stunned in place, snorted, and turned to leave.
"Not at all!" Upon hearing these words, several uncles and aunts from the Li Family quickly walked over and blocked Lin Fan's path.
"He is just a bastard, County Magistrate Lin shouldn't take him seriously. For the sake of the older generation's face, let's go inside first." "Exactly, exactly, this is the Xu Family's home, not old Lao Li's place. He has no right to speak here!" "Ungrateful nephew, ungrateful nephew, biting his own family no less. I don't know how the sister disciplines her son." In just a few words, Li Canglu becan ungrateful nephew, the target of everyone's scorn, while the usually unappreciated Li Huizhen and Li Huifang were generously invited into the house.
Yet, as Lin Fan passed by Li Canglu's wife, he didn't forget to pause and look at her panic-stricken face. "Sister-in-law, when you breastfeed in the future, do it facing the door. You can't just expose yourself to the sun like that, what with people coming and going; the Li Family might not care about their reputation, but the Xu Family certainly does." With just a sentence, she turned beet red and hung her head in shame, not daring to make a peep.
"Grandma, Huizhen's boyfriend has cto see you. He's the Deputy County Magistrate of Red Flag County. Your birthday celebration is really impressive!" Walking into the room, the uncles immediately said to their mother seated on the kang bed. When they mentioned Deputy County Magistrate, grandma's eyes lit up; she grabbed Li Huizhen, her wrinkles spreading in a smile.
"Grandma, I originally wanted to bring sgifts, but I didn't know what you would like, so I prepared this red envelope for you instead. Just buy whatever you like." Lin Fan took out the ten thousand yuan in cash he had prepared earlier and laid it in front of grandma. Since the parents couldn't handle their two daughters, Huizhen and Hui Fang had often eaten at Grandma's house, and she was quite fond of them, so this was Lin Fan repaying a favor.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLetting Li Huizhen and Li Huifang keep grandma company with idle chat, including Xu Jingyi, several aunts surrounded the two girls with a barrage of questions. Lin Fan then stepped into the adjacent room and sat down, turning to Liu Shengrui beside him, "Haven't the village roads been improved for a long tnow? Why can't cars still get to grandma's house?" "This is a bit difficult to explain. Since the house is a bit far from the main village, the road has always been unimproved. I've brought it up a couple of times, but the mayor keeps making excuses." Liu Shengrui said awkwardly, for a minor section chief like him it was difficult to get things done.
"In that case, call the office for me. Under my name, notify the leadership team of the town and the village committee to cto the courtyard for a meeting to address this livelihood issue." Lin Fan, sitting there, exuding authority. With the instruction of Vice County Magistrate Lin, Liu Shengrui quickly took out his mobile phone and went out the door, while Lin Fan looked at the so-called uncles.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's grandma's seventieth birthday celebration; is it not a bit lackluster to hold it at home? Huizhen always says how much grandma loves her, so I thought I'd discuss with the uncles about going to a restaurant in town tonight to arrange a few banquet tables and have a proper celebration for grandmother tonight, all expenses on me!" "How could that be? We originally thought that there wouldn't be many people, so we were just going to set up a few tables at home. But since County Magistrate Lin is here, naturally, we need to do the banquet right. You don't have to worry about the money; we'll go handle it now and make sure it's grand."
The eldest son quickly stood up to express his stance. Now that their nephew-in-law from the Xu Family turned out to be the Deputy County Magistrate the birthday party was on a whole different level. Consequently, the entire Xu Family bustled about in preparation, while Lin Fan, who was surrounded by them all, looked toward Li Huizhen and Li Huifang in the opposite room, whose faces bore proud smiles that never faded. "One man's rise to power elevates his associates to the heavens. No wonder everyone wants to be an official!" As he watched the busy Xu Family, Lin Fan couldn't help but remark on the enticing nature of the power he wielded; even doing practical things seemed to be expedited. And as everyone prepared to welcthe incoming Mayor, Li Canglu's wife, carrying a child, walked in.
The sister-in-law's face flushed with embarrassment, thrusting her prominent chest forward, she said in a hushed tone, "County Magistrate Lin..I'm sorry... everyone was smoking just now, and I really had nowhere to feed the child... so I lost my temper... I want to apologize to you... if only you'd calm down, I'll do whatever you ask!"
