A Scandalous Affair in Officialdom - Chapter 10: Aphrodisiac Treasures

When Ye Yu arrived home at noon, there were two more people besides his wife, Huang Yuxin. Ye Yu wasn't unfamiliar with either of them. The man was named Wu Renyou, and the woman was named Chen Chaofeng; they were a married couple.
Hearing her husband open the door, Huang Yuxin, who was busy in the kitchen, came out, wiped her apron with her hand, took the briefcase from his hand, and said, "Please sit down and keep Lao Wu company. The food will be ready soon. Lao Wu, please stay for lunch."
"No need, we've already eaten."
Ye Yu chuckled and said, "Old Wu, have some food before you leave. I still have something to discuss with you."
Upon hearing that Ye Yu wanted to ask him about the situation, Wu Renyou had no choice but to say, "Alright then."
Sitting on the sofa, Chen Chaofeng's eyes darted around, and she said, "Sister-in-law, I'll help you."
After saying that, the two women went into the kitchen to busy themselves. Ye Yu sat down and personally brewed a pot of tea for Wu Renyou, asking kindly, "Old Wu, how was this year's harvest?"
Wu Renyou is a villager from Taixing Village, Zuoxiang Town, Changping County, which is under the jurisdiction of M City. There's a story behind his acquaintance with Ye Yu.
Taixing Village is a small village with only about a thousand people. The largest surname in the village belongs to a family named Qin Tianba. The Qin family has been prosperous for decades, with over a hundred members after many branches and leaves. Qin Tianba has connections with some leaders in the county and town, and he himself is the village committee secretary of Taixing Village. With overseas Chinese background, he is wealthy and powerful. Compared to Qin Tianba, the Wu Renyou family is much weaker, with few members, no money, and no influence.
It's unknown how many years ago the Qin and Wu families began their feud, a feud that was passed down through generations, reaching a deep level with Qin Tianba and Wu Renyou. As neighboring families, they frequently clashed, escalating from verbal disputes to physical violence.
In 2000, on a village road, Qin Tianba's third brother, along with his two cousins, beat Wu Renyou so badly that he was hospitalized for three months before fully recovering and still suffers from lingering health problems.
In 2001, Qin Tianba's father, Qin Xiong, personally broke into the Wu family home and severely injured Wu Renyou's sister, who was visiting. Her shrill screams echoed through the sky for a long time. She was sent to the hospital and remained in a coma for three days before waking up. Now, she occasionally experiences dizziness.
In 2002, Qin Tianba struck Wu Renyou's younger brother on the head with a hoe in a field, requiring twenty-three stitches. Blood stained the field. Although Wu Renyou's brother recovered, he was left unable to urinate or defecate, becoming a filthy and mentally challenged person. ...
There were many similar incidents. Because Qin Tianba was rich and powerful, after the police were notified, they only went through the motions and ultimately nothing came of it. Wu Renyou's neighbors couldn't bear to watch any longer, and some wanted to help, but they were hindered by the Qin family's power and could only lament, "Heaven is blind." This is a bloody and tearful history of the Wu family being humiliated and bullied by the Qin family.
As things progressed, the Qin family openly declared that if Wu Renyou's family ever saw anyone from the Qin family, they should take a detour, or they would be beaten every time they saw them. Finally, they arrogantly and brazenly demanded that the Wu family move out of Taixing Village.
Later, with the help of a relative's relative, Wu Renyou reported his family's plight to Ye Yu, who was visiting Yunxi County at the time. Upon hearing this, Ye Yu was filled with righteous indignation and ordered the municipal public security bureau to thoroughly investigate the matter. Three members of Qin Tianba's family were arrested, sentenced according to the law, and fined a large sum to compensate Wu Renyou's family. Furthermore, some officials who had acted as protectors of the Qin family were severely punished.
Ye Yu gained some insights from that incident. First, it caused a great sensation in the surrounding area, and even some mainstream newspapers in the province reported on it, earning him a good reputation. Second, Ye Yu learned some principles of being an official from it.
From then on, the Qin family knew that Wu Renyou had a vice mayor as a backer, so they became much more restrained, which allowed Wu Renyou to establish himself in Taixing Village. In Ye Yu's view, he was just doing what a local official should do, but Wu Renyou didn't think so. They were very grateful to Ye Yu and would give him local specialties, such as chickens and ducks, during festivals.
“Great! This year has been blessed with favorable weather, and my family’s fifty mu of wheat fields have yielded another bumper harvest.”
Wu Renyou was timid, honest, and didn't talk much. He accepted the tea from Ye Yu and sat down awkwardly to one side.
"Is everything alright at home?"
"Okay. Mayor Ye, my son got into Tongji University this year."
At this, the honest and kind farmer looked at Ye Yu with emotion and said, "If it weren't for Mayor Ye, I wouldn't have the good life I have today."
As he spoke, the honest man's eyes were red.
Indeed, if it weren't for Ye Yu's intervention that day, their family might have already fled to distant lands.
At this moment, Huang Yuxin and Chen Chaofeng finished preparing the meal and brought it out. Ye Yu called to Wu Renyou, "Old Wu, come on, let's eat."
Wu Renyou grunted in agreement and sat down at the table. After Huang Yuxin set out the bowls and chopsticks, she called to Wu Eryou, "You two start eating."
Chen Chaofeng beckoned, "Sister-in-law, come and eat too!"
"Okay, you guys eat first, I'll go wash up."
Seeing his wife's retreating figure, Ye Yu felt a pang of shame for his earlier misdeeds, mixed with a touch of emotion. Ye Yu's current success was absolutely inseparable from one person: Huang Yuxin. Without the patronage of Huang Yuxin's father, Huang Dahua, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, he could never have risen so quickly.
With their means, they could easily have hired a nanny. However, Huang Yuxin refused, saying that Ye Yu had a sensitive stomach and preferred her cooking, so she wanted to cook for him herself. No matter how busy she was, Huang Yuxin would go home every day to cook for Ye Yu. And Ye Yu, aside from some unavoidable social engagements, would eat at home every day.
Before marrying Ye Yu, Huang Yuxin, the daughter of the provincial deputy secretary, had absolutely no cooking skills. However, knowing that Ye Yu disliked eating out, she specially enrolled in a chef training course and studied diligently for three months. Being a clean freak, she dreaded the smell of cooking oil in the kitchen.
Another crucial point is that Huang Yuxin, despite being the daughter of a high-ranking official, doesn't exhibit the typical arrogance and domineering behavior often seen in such children. On the contrary, she is extremely gentle and considerate towards Ye Yu. Therefore, Ye Yu has behaved very well outside the home over the years, hasn't acted recklessly, and so far, he only has Zhong Yuxian as a lover.
Otherwise, given his current status and position, the temptations he faces are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
After a short while, Huang Yuxin washed up and came out to eat with Ye Yu and the others. Feeling guilty, Ye Yu quickly picked up a piece of her favorite pork belly for his wife. Seeing this, Chen Chaofeng jokingly said, "Mayor Ye and his wife are so loving!"
Sometimes, harmless jokes can strengthen a friendship.
During the years when Wu Renyou was bullied by the Qin Tianba family, he would have been unable to stay in Taixing Village long ago if it weren't for his wife, Chen Chaofeng. Unlike her gentle husband, Chen Chaofeng was bold and fierce, and the men of the Qin family were all afraid of her. Only she dared to joke with Ye Yu.
The meal was finished in about thirty minutes. Huang Yuxin and Chen Chaofeng went inside to clean up. Just before they went in, Ye Yu saw Chen Chaofeng give Wu Renyou a wink. Ye Yu was puzzled until Wu Renyou took out a very antique-looking box from his arms, at which point he realized that Chen Chaofeng wanted Wu Renyou to give Ye Yu the gift she had brought.
"Old Wu, what are you doing? Take it back, take it back."
“Mayor Ye, I know you won’t accept anything valuable from us, but these are just some local specialties. We can never repay the great kindness you have shown our family over the years.”
As he spoke, Wu Renyou forced himself to hand the box to Ye Yu, saying, "Please be sure to accept this."
Having come this far, Ye Yu really couldn't refuse: "What is this thing?"
He thought to himself, "If it's too valuable, I'll give him money as compensation later."
"This is snake blood ginseng."
As he spoke, Wu Renyou excitedly opened the box, revealing a ginseng root about twenty centimeters long and as wide as a palm. This ginseng was different from ordinary ginseng; ordinary ginseng is usually blue, but this ginseng was red, shimmering with a dazzling red light.
Seeing Ye Yu's bewildered expression, Wu Renyou explained, "According to medical books, this snake blood ginseng is a rare variety of ginseng, capable of strengthening the body and possessing rich nutritional value. Like all precious medicines in the world, its growing conditions are extremely demanding. According to the medical books left by my grandfather, this snake blood ginseng must grow in extremely yang places, using the sap from the mating of snakes as fertilizer..." Wu Renyou's grandfather and father were both local "folk doctors," and Wu Renyou had read many of the family's medical books. He, usually not very articulate, spoke fluently and eloquently about the origins of snake blood ginseng.
If it grows an inch every ten years, then this ginseng must be at least a hundred years old, right? Ye Yu hurriedly said, "Old Wu, how can I accept such a precious thing from you?"
Just then, Chen Chaofeng, who had finished tidying up Huang Yuxin and was leaving the kitchen, heard Ye Yu's words and hurriedly said, "Mayor Ye, if it weren't for you, how could our family have survived in Taixing Village, let alone have the life we have today? We've always wanted to repay your kindness, and I know you won't accept our money. Just a few days ago, Old Wu went up the mountain to collect herbs and happened to dig up this snake blood ginseng. I discussed it with him and we decided to give it to you. This is just a small token of our appreciation, please accept it."
"Well... okay then."
After finishing their meal, Wu Renyou and his wife left. Before they left, Ye Yu forced two cartons of Zhonghua cigarettes and some health supplements on them. Ye Yu had actually intended to give them money, but they refused, so he had no choice but to give them some things as compensation.
