Chapter 253 Unexpected
Li Luo put the two works together and asked the participants to judge them. If they liked someone's embroidery, they would stand behind that person's embroidery.

Guo Yi was puzzled for a moment by Li Luo's behavior, but in the end he just opened his mouth but said nothing.

Guo Yi knew that as a foreigner, few or even no one would choose her, and Aunt Liu had been in Wanlong Village for such a long time, so even if people were just doing Aunt Liu a favor, they would definitely choose her.

"Everyone come to me to get branches. Each branch represents one vote. I will count everyone's votes." Li Luo divided the branches brought by Ling Xiaoguang and Ling Xiaolei into seventy parts.

"Village chief, please be a witness to this number of votes." Li Luo shook the branch in his hand and said with a smile.

The village chief is also very concerned about the embroidery competition, so he must come to the evaluation site today.

The village chief nodded: "Don't worry, the result of this vote must be fair and just!"

Not only the contestants themselves, but even the people around them who are participating in the competition have votes.

Aunt Liu and Guo Yi stood outside separately, waiting for the counting. Everyone went into the house to vote, and after casting their votes in the jar, the votes would be taken out and counted.

This is also to prevent someone from telling Aunt Liu or Guo Yi about the voting situation.

Aunt Liu had a proud look on her face. Based on her reputation in the entire Wanlong Village, she believed that most people would choose her work!

However, when the results came out, Aunt Liu was dumbfounded when she stood in front of her own vote.

Unfortunately, I don’t even have half of the votes.

"No, this can't be true! How could I only have 17 votes?" Aunt Liu pointed at Li Luo in disbelief, "No, it must be you who did it! In this village, which household doesn't have a lot of interactions with each other?"

"How come a little girl from another place is more popular than me in the village?"

"Tell me, Li Luo, what is your relationship with this little girl? Are you going to help her get the hundred dollars?"

Guo Yi was also very puzzled. He originally thought that he would definitely lose this time, but he didn't expect that there would be so many people supporting him. Not to mention Aunt Liu, even Guo Yi himself was stunned.

Why did they choose me? They clearly felt that they didn't deserve to win!
Could it really be Sister Luo Luo? Guo Yi then shook her head and denied it. From the time those people went in to vote until the voting results came out, no one except the village chief and the other two village officials would manipulate the results of the votes.

The village chief was not familiar with her and had hardly ever seen her except when he issued the certificate. How could he possibly make a ticket for her?
Then this result is strange.

However, Li Luo laughed at this time: "You think everyone will choose you because of your popularity, but you overlooked a subjective condition."

"Luoluo, what you said is a good one. I originally thought that more people would choose Xiao Liu, but later, I found that almost everyone who came in voted for Guo Yi. Is it really that Guo Yi's skills are better?"

“I can’t judge this, and it still needs an explanation from professionals, but this number of votes is indeed the result of selfishness.”

"Maybe they really think that Xiao Liu's skills are better. If Xiao Liu wins the prize, he will be given a hundred yuan to compete for, and there will be one more competitor. But what if it's just a teenage girl participating?" "Then the threat will be much smaller." Aunt Liu rushed to answer, and then turned her gaze to the others, observing their expressions.

Everyone avoided the places where Aunt Liu's eyes swept. They didn't know the result would be like this. Just like what the village chief said, they were selfish. They also felt that even if they didn't choose Aunt Liu, someone else would definitely choose Aunt Liu.

There are many people who think this way, so such a dramatic scene occurred. Everyone thinks that Guo Yi's competitive pressure is less than that of Aunt Liu.

"I don't agree! Doesn't this vote result just prove that my skills are better than this girl's? This vote is actually unfair, right?"

"No, on the contrary, Guo Yi's skills actually surpass your Aunt Liu's." Li Luo answered seriously.

"No, it's impossible! How could it be? I've been holding an embroidery needle for ten years, how could I lose to a little girl? It must be because you taught this little girl the craft, so you said that the little girl's skills are better than mine!"

"There must be something fishy going on here. This competition is not real at all. I think she just chose someone she trusts, took the 100 yuan, and then returned the 100 yuan to her!"

"I just don't know what conspiracy she has behind doing this!" Aunt Liu pointed at Li Luo's face, her chest filled with anger.

However, no one present agreed with Aunt Liu. They also did not believe that a little girl would snatch their hundred yuan. When the selection was made, the first place was almost obvious - Aunt Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang was the first to speak out against Aunt Liu: "I was the first to vote because I wasn't afraid of anyone coming to compete with me in embroidery skills, but I chose Guo Yi."

Mrs. Zhang looked at the two people opposite her with a righteous face.

"First of all, let's consider the degree of completion. Aunt Liu, your phoenix has only had its body embroidered. Compared to the progress of others, it is much slower. Although we need to consider your physical condition, Aunt Liu."

“But the level of completion is still not as good as others.”

"Secondly, in terms of color, although Aunt Liu adhered to the concept of not making mistakes and embroidered the entire body of the phoenix in the same color, without the gradient effect on the phoenix feathers, it looks very monotonous and abrupt."

“The lines are very stiff.”

"But Guo Yi's work is different. Although the colors used are very jumpy, the overall look is very coordinated and even eye-catching. Also, the treatment of lines is much smoother than Aunt Liu's."

"It's even better than the works of some other sisters-in-law and aunts. Although this may be the result of Luo Luo's teaching, it is undeniable that Guo Yi has this talent."

"So what Mrs. Zhang said seems to make some sense." Everyone gathered in front of the two people's works, carefully observing the several characteristics mentioned by Mrs. Zhang, and found that Guo Yi's work was much better looking than Aunt Liu's.

"But didn't you set the standard? You said it should be embroidered according to this pattern, but why did hers win the prize when it's just a broken bird?"

"You are wrong, Aunt Liu. This is originally an embroidery competition. The sign also said that everyone is encouraged to be bold and innovative, including but not limited to shape and color. Only Guo Yi understood these words."

Afterwards, the village chief took the red paper with the notice in front of everyone. When everyone looked at it, they saw the words that the village chief had said.
