Hood himself is imposing, and with the addition of Old Man Hood and a few guards, it's really terrifying.

They didn't dare to speak because of this aura.

Holding my breath.

"You guys chat about your things and sit down. I'm just strolling around." Old Master Huo waved his hand to signal them not to worry.

But how could they not care? Zhang Ming's wife was a little bolder and asked with a smile, "Are you Captain Huo's grandfather?"

"It's Xiangnan and me's grandfather. He's looking around. You don't have to be nervous."

Seeing that Mr. Huo took the initiative to speak, the aunts were not so nervous anymore and even made room for him: "Old man, would you like to sit down? It's very cool under this big elm tree. The sun is not out now and the wind is cool too."

Mr. Huo nodded, and the secretary quickly took out a silk handkerchief and placed it on the stone platform, then helped Mr. Huo sit down.

"You guys sit down too. I just heard you talking about Xiangnan and praising her so much. Xiangnan must be nice to you, right?"

Zhang Ming's wife quickly laughed and said, "That's really good. She always sends braised pork and roast duck to my house. She is also never stingy when the children in the village go to her house to eat cakes when they are hungry.

We aunties working in her workshop earn more than men earn outside.

She will also tell the whole village how to make yuba, so that everyone can get rich together."

Mr. Huo had a smile on his face and looked proud: "My Huo De's vision is indeed correct. Xiangnan is a good child."

"You have no objection to their marriage?"

It’s not that those wealthy families are all looking down on others and look down on ordinary people, let alone these country people.

Those people in the county town called them country folk and were unwilling to become relatives with them.

A big family like Jinghai doesn’t care about these things?

"Xiangnan is so good, why should I object? My family's son is not unwanted. He is very popular. Many daughters of famous families in Jinghai have been chasing him, but he ignored all of them and rejected them all.

He has set his sights on Xiangnan. As a grandfather, I haven't taken good care of him for the past ten years, so I have to satisfy him on this one point. Don't you think so?..."

"That's right. Captain Huo, it's obvious that no one will accept this offer. But Xiangnan has a good eye and found a treasure."

Seeing that Mr. Huo was talkative and did not look down on them as country people, everyone chatted with him for a long time.

Until Xiangnan came and called Mr. Huo to eat: "Grandpa, what are you guys talking about? The casserole porridge is ready. You can chat for a while and eat it after it cools down."

"We didn't say anything bad about you, Xiangnan, we only said good things." Zhang Ming's wife said quickly.

Xiangnan glanced at these aunts and found that they were not the kind of people who liked to cause trouble.

"I'm so lucky today. Those two gossipers are not here, so grandpa can't hear any bad things about me."

Mr. Huo's face darkened: "Is there anyone in this village who likes to gossip about you?"

"There are two. They said I was an unlucky person, that I was unlucky for my parents and brothers. They also said that Brother Huo broke his leg when he married me because of me..."

"They are talking nonsense, Xiangnan, stop talking." Zhang Ming's wife pulled her sleeve. What a silly child, why are you saying such things in front of the wealthy family? Isn't it taboo for them?

Old Master Huo snorted coldly: "Our Huo family is a century-old family. It is impossible for an unlucky person to enter our house. The fact that Xiangnan can marry Huo De proves that she is a good omen. Our Huo family will rely on her in the future.

If anyone dares to gossip like this again, don’t blame me for being rude. The granddaughter-in-law of our Huo family will not tolerate others gossiping about her.

Secretary Li, have them check who said this and give them a warning.

Xiangnan smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't be angry. I have already made those two guys behave themselves. They are just jealous of me because I can make a lot of money and marry a husband like Brother Huo."

"Did you treat them?"

Xiangnan told Mr. Huo about the matter of Yang Shengli and Feng Mingli.

"Just let them go like this? Just pay some money? Xiangnan, you are too kind." Old Master Huo said seriously.

"Grandpa, you may not know that paying that little bit of money is the most painful thing for them. Beating them up or breaking their legs wouldn't hurt that much.

Country people can only earn so much money, and touching their money is like taking flesh from them. If you don't believe me, just ask these women: would they rather be beaten and bruised all over or pay a hundred yuan in compensation?

Zhang Ming's wife quickly said, "If I have to pay a hundred yuan, my heart will bleed. I would rather be beaten."

Mr. Huo snorted: "When you are not at home in the future, these people may retaliate, so we still have to deal with it."

"Don't worry, Grandpa, they don't dare to jump around."

"And that Zhang Hao, I heard he's having a tough time right now, so be careful of him, he might do something desperate."

"Grandpa, he's a coward. Even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to do anything desperate.

His grandfather is an official in Jinghai. If you deal with him, he will be as obedient as a dog."

The aunts were terrified when they heard this. Everyone in the village knew that Li Lanjiang's father was a high-ranking official in Jinghai, and it was just a matter of his grandfather's words that Zhang Hao went to Jinghai to study at university.

Now, in the eyes of Mr. Huo and Xiangnan, this high-ranking official is just like a cat or a dog, and they can manipulate them at will.

The aunts didn't dare to move and stood straight.

Mr. Huo was very kind when he was chatting with them, but when he got angry, his aura was scary.

Yang Shengli and Feng Mingli will no longer have a good life.

"Useless things, you still need grandpa to help you clean up."

"Grandpa, you are protecting your granddaughter-in-law, but don't be too harsh. After all, if he hadn't been such an idiot, you wouldn't have met such a good granddaughter-in-law like me."

"You are so shameless, bragging about yourself like that."

"I'm just this good. Brother Huo said so."

Huo De suddenly replied: "My wife is the best."

The aunts watched them walk away before they dared to shout: "I was scared to death, don't mess with them, don't mess with them!"

The old secretary stepped forward and said, "Aunts, it's been a pleasure chatting with you today. This is a little gift from the old man."

He clapped his hands, and one of the guards behind him handed them a gift box.

When the red box was opened, everyone was stunned to see a huge stack of reunions.

Are people from wealthy families always so generous and direct when giving gifts? They just give money!

Zhang Ming’s wife took them out and counted them, there were exactly ten!!!

When this news spread, many aunts beat their chests and said that if they had known this earlier, they would not have gone to the fields to work in the morning. They would have come to chat under the big elm tree and might even meet the God of Wealth who would give them money!

One hundred yuan! ! Half a year’s income, just for a few words!

Xiangnan only found out after breakfast that Grandpa Huo had given someone a gift. Xiangnan smiled and said, "Grandpa, you don't understand the villagers. You'll know what will happen when you give this gift."

Soon, the aunts who had returned from the fields all came to Xiangnan's house. They heard that the old man was very kind and would be happy as long as someone praised Xiangnan's old man.

Everyone was no longer afraid of the security and came to chat with Xiangnan, hoping to have a chance to meet the old man.

The old man was caught, and a group of aunts surrounded him and praised Xiangnan.
