Upon hearing the old head of the village say this, Jin Nan was immensely excited.
The thrilling moment had finally arrived, but a mere ten minutes later, Jin Nan was dumbfounded.
"Chen Xiaolong elected unanimously? Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could this be?"
Jin Nan jumped up in shock.
Regaining his composure, he grabbed a villager.
"What's going on? Didn't you vote for me? Otherwise, how could I not have a single vote?"
The villager looked at him with disdain: "Pfft, of course I didn't vote for you. Why would I?"
"You took my gifts and promised everything was fine. Why didn't you vote for me?"
The villager scoffed: "If a bastard like you became our head of the village, would we villagers still have a way to live?"
"Ah, you bastard! Why accept my gifts if you didn't vote for me?"
The villager scoffed again: "The officials don't refuse gifts; when you brought them right to our homes, we couldn't very well kick you out, could we?"
