Harem Ascendant: Power & Beauty

Chapter 926: Chapter 926: There Is No Good or Evil in the Adult World

"Granny... what are you doing?"

The old woman's sudden kneeling left Lin Fan bewildered.

He hurried to help the elderly lady who kept bowing, while her tears flowed freely.

"County magistrate... | finally see you, the Lord Qingtian... benefactor... | bow to you..."

Her heartfelt cries made Lin Fan even more flustered. After he helped her up, she continued to mumble words of

gratitude incoherently.

"Lord Qingtian... you brought light to our village... gave us a means to live... Today, I finally get to see you..."

The crying old woman was a stark contrast to her previous demeanor. Lin Fan didn’t know how to comfort her,

but at least her attitude had undergone a significant change.

"Granny, I've cto cooperate with the staff from the education bureau, wanting to take the girls from our

village to the county town for schooling, then find good jobs. When they earn money, they can help their families

with expenses. The incis quite substantial, much better than marrying her off for a bride price. Besides, the

government now forbids exorbitant bride prices, that's illegal!”

Seated in the dilapidated house, Lin Fan tried hard to explain the purpose of his visit in a language the woman

could understand.

The crying old woman just kept nodding, as if understanding, but clearly not fully comprehending, which made

Lin Fan have to turn to the village mayor for help.

"The county magistrate wants my granddaughter... just take her away... just give her sfood... you're our

great benefactor... if my granddaughter can work for you... that’s our blessing... Zhaodi... chere quickly!"

Before the village mayor could explain, the half-deaf granny had already called her granddaughter to her side,

pushing her in front of Lin Fan. This wasn’t about sending her out for study and work; it was more like handing

her over to Lin Fan.

"Alright, let's just go with that!"

Looking at the rundown interior, Lin Fan sighed, took out one thousand yuan from his pocket, and directly

handed it to the old lady, who held the money excitedly, pulling her granddaughter, seemingly saying to take

good care of the county magistrate, like it's her fortune or something.

"I feel like the old lady didn’t understand at all, should we explain again that you're not here to take her

granddaughter?”

Nie Yinghong looked at Lin Fan; it was clear the granny misunderstood, thinking Lin Fan wanted her

granddaughter as a maid.

"No need to explain, as long as we can take the girl, it’s fine."

Lin Fan waved his hand; explaining household by household would take forever. But the woman's change in

attitude suggested something was up, so he turned to Mayor Ma, "Mayor, what's going on here?"

"She probably mistook you for County Magistrate Zhao."

Mayor Ma's words stunned Lin Fan: "You mean County Magistrate Zhao is her benefactor?"

"Not just in her heart; County Magistrate Zhao is practically everyone's benefactor in Red Flag County. You

should know, twenty years ago, Red Flag County was a nationally recognized impoverished county, with millions

of people struggling for subsistence. It was County Magistrate Zhao's bold reforms that led the entire county

onto the path to prosperity."

Mayor Ma spoke with familiarity: "Not

to mention the distant past, just take

Huanglan Village, which was

notoriously poor. It was County

Magistrate Zhao who epg

go fetch it from the mountain." The

"No wonder!"

Hearing this, Lin Fan lit a cigarette, recalling the ten million sent to the girls’ high school, which he had acquired

from others. It seemed County Magistrate Zhao had already taken the step to protect every Red Flag County

resident, hence the preferential treatment.

"What's the story with this family’s son?"

As they walked out of the low-built house, curiously watching the old woman, Lin Fan thought that appearing as

the county magistrate made him a benefactor in her eyes.

"Her son and husband both worked in

the county mines. During one

collapse, her husband got buried

inside, and her son's leg was

crushed. It was County Magistrate

Zap who @rranged a job for him at

the town government canteen and

gave the family a substantial sum of

money. They lack for nothing;

provisions and cooking oil during

holidays and other occasions are

plentiful. Moreover, this is only part of

it; County Magistrate Zhao sends

countless things out of his pocket

each year." The content is on

Mayor Ma's words indirectly

confirmed all of Lin Fan's previous

suspicions. Behind County om

Magistiate Zhao seemingly ruthless

While outwardly one might think it's

extraordinary wealth hiding beneath,

there's likely something far more

dangerous involved. The content is

"No wonder Grandpa gavea year; this is quite interesting.”

After listening to all this, Lin Fan had an idea. But now was not the tto marvel at Zhao Chuanchun’s

hardships. He needed to figure out how to carry on, so he beckoned to Nie Yinghong nearby, knowing it was time

to lay scards on the table.
