Chapter 1606 A direct collision

However, Fan Zhong was at least not like the village chief of Ruanjia Village, who acted recklessly and favored others, causing Ruanjia Village to become a scourge for miles around.

Dazhuang could only patiently explain to Fan Zhong, "Village Chief, today is Lan Hua's wedding day. If something bad happens and it gets out of hand, it will be bad for the Lu family. Besides, we don't even know if the person who entered the sunflower field is from our village. We shouldn't air our dirty laundry in public, or we'll become a laughingstock."

Fan Zhongyi thought it made sense. If the person who sneaked into the sunflower field was from Shangshi Village, and they caught the thief on their own head, and outsiders saw it, then he, as the village chief, would lose face.

He glanced at the city dwellers discussing sunflowers; they were being led around by Da Niu, who was explaining things, so there shouldn't be any problems.

So he called his youngest son over and whispered a few words to him.

Before long, Fan Laosi arrived with several villagers he knew.

With a sullen face, Fan Zhong quietly left the group with his men, and angrily followed Da Zhuang toward the sunflower field on the other side.

These sunflowers will all be for Lu Xiangjun. He was just discussing with Lu Xiangjun today that his family also wanted to plant a few acres of land, so he absolutely cannot allow anyone to damage them.

With her sharp eyes, Mrs. Liang saw them leave and immediately followed.

She'd seen plenty of sunflowers, so they weren't anything special to her anymore. But the village chief's look of wanting to settle scores with someone gave her a whiff of gossip.

It's a pity my husband isn't here. He has to work half a day today and won't be back until the afternoon.

Otherwise, they could have gone to see the excitement together.

The group arrived at the other side of the field ridge. Fortunately, the sunflowers there were all tall and large, completely obscuring the figures of anyone.

Xu Cai and Ge Qifei chose a relatively secluded sunflower field, since it was a secret rendezvous, and the fewer people passing by, the better.

Shu Yu and Meng Han wouldn't have come over here if they didn't want to talk to each other alone.

Dazhuang stopped and pointed to his patch of land. "It's right here. I just saw a figure flash by and go inside."

Fan Laosi laughed, "Dazhuang, this is your land, no wonder you're so interested in it, making us help you steal?"

Dazhuang looked embarrassed. "I was just worried that someone might damage our land. I felt more confident with more people around. Thank you all today. If we catch the thief, I'll treat you all to dinner."

"You're too kind. But if we all go into the fields, and there are too many of us trampling the crops, your losses will be even greater."

"It's alright, just two or three of us will go in and take a look, the rest of you will stay outside and keep watch."

As long as you go in and make a commotion, those two people will hear it and rush out, and then you'll be caught red-handed.

That's what Dazhuang thought, but Shuyu, who was still in the flower field, acted even faster than him.

She saw Dazhuang approaching with his men from afar, and immediately slipped back into the flower field. When she heard voices outside, she made a noise so that Ge Qifei and Xu Cai, who were still arguing and pulling at each other not far away, could hear her.

Ge Qifei, with his sharp ears, quickly grabbed Xu Cai and said, "Someone's here."

Xu Cai's expression changed. Even if she was furious, she didn't dare to make a move. Hearing footsteps behind them, the two quickly scurried out of the flower field.

As soon as I stepped out, I was met with the astonished gazes of seven or eight people.
