Chen Kuo stood tall and slender, with his long legs stretched out, as if taking a step forward.

Because of his strong aura and his height advantage, the women in the village were instantly stunned by him.

Suddenly, a girl appeared wearing a small red cotton-padded jacket and two small pigtails. She was a little thin, with yellow skin, and two patches of high altitude red on both sides of her face due to wind and sun.

She stretched out her skinny little hand and pointed at Ruiduo who was nestled in Chen Kuo's arms and said crisply: "Ruiduo, how can you let another man hug you."

"He's my dad."

The little girl rubbed her cheek with her index finger: "Shame on you, shame on you, you have no shame, calling everyone daddy"

"Feian, Feian, don't you have any shame? Why are you sitting on a stranger's shoulder?"

Xiaopang, who usually always shows off to Fei'an that he has a father, shouted in a foolish way.

"You are so shameless. You don't have a father, but you are talking about other people's fathers."

"..."

The children in the village laughed at Ruiduo and Feian one after another.

Every word they said hit Chen Kuo's heart hard. If he had not seen it with his own eyes and experienced it personally, he would not have known that his absence had brought such great harm to his children.

The child who should have been cherished in the palm of his hand suddenly became the object of ridicule by the children in the village.

"Since you can't take care of your children, I don't mind educating them for you."

Chen Kuo's voice sounded even colder than the winter, sending chills down people's spines.

Subconsciously, he immediately covered his child who was still messing around without knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Chen Kuo's eyes were like a death stare. He walked up to the group of people who were talking excitedly with adults and children and stopped.

He looked down at them from a high position and said coldly: "As expected, if the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. It is really rotten from the root."

The shrewish village women were afraid of throwing a tantrum and were about to start cursing, but they met Chen Kuo's cold gaze.

I couldn't utter a word, as if someone was strangling my throat.

Chen Kuo was cold and even looked at the villagers with anger.

"So, when I'm not at home, you guys are bullying my wife and children like this. I must ask the captain to give me an explanation today."

Speak of the devil, and he appears. Several villagers came towards the captain like servile slaves.

When he saw Chen Kuo, he was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted and walked forward with a smile: "Chen Kuo, when did you come back?"

How could you say he was the team leader? A group of villagers watched for a long time and discussed heatedly, but no one recognized Chen Kuo.

The captain recognized the person at just one glance.

The villagers were stunned. Some of them had their eyes as big as copper bells, and some of them had their mouths opened so wide that an egg could fit in.

Those who were slightly aware looked incredulous and stammered, "He...he...he is Chen Kuo, how is that possible? I have never seen Chen Kuo before."

"Captain, you are not mistaken, are you? Chen Kuo is not as tall, strong, or dark as him, right?"

"Yes, I remember Chen Kuo didn't look like this."

"He got married three years ago and I went to the wedding. He was obviously a young man, but this guy looked like a grown man."

"..."

Gu Zhenqi heard all the villagers' doubts, but she could not feel the changes in Chen Kuo.

After two lifetimes, before I met him, his appearance had already become blurred except for the photos.

So, when Chen Kuo appeared in her photo in his current form, she gladly accepted it.

I feel that Chen Kuo has always been like this.

perhaps……

Is it really because her age and soul are too mature?

She looked at Chen Kuo, and just then he turned his head to look at her. She smiled at him proudly.

Fortunately, you are like this, otherwise... she really can't get along with a young boy.

"Quiet." the captain shouted.

Silence returned instantly

Chen Kuo didn't like to beat around the bush, so he got straight to the point: "Captain, I should not mind my fellow villagers, but these people have repeatedly insulted and slandered my wife and children on the grounds that I am no longer at home, and they still hope to give me an explanation."

The captain naturally didn't dare to offend Chen Kuo. Chen Kuo had a bright future and he might even need help from others in the future.

He had overheard a few times those gossipy women in the village talking about other people's wives and children.

Now, I had to deal with it, and my face suddenly turned cold.

"I see that you are just idle after having enough food every day. What's the matter? Now that there is enough food at home, you have more free time. Okay, in a few days, all the men in your family will go to dig canals.

Wait until the thaw comes, and then all of you go plow the fields. "

The village woman who was the most enthusiastic just now turned pale in an instant. They were digging canals and plowing the fields, each one more tired than the other.

Moreover, this means that they have little time to rest because after plowing the land, they have to start spring ploughing.

This is not dead, but it will peel off a layer of skin

Without waiting for the captain to say anything, they all pulled their children to apologize to Gu Zhenqi and her cubs.

"I'm sorry, I'm mean, please don't bother with me."

"The child is still young and can speak without restraint. Please don't take it personally. We apologize to you."

"We don't talk about it anymore. I didn't really say it before, I was just joking."

"We all live in the same village. Don't be too picky with me. I'm a person who doesn't hold back on words."

"I slipped up, I just wanted to satisfy my urge to talk, I didn't really mean it that way, you are a magnanimous person, please don't mind it"

"Let this matter go and never talk about it again, okay?"

"..."

Seeing that almost all the village women had apologized, Chen Kuo's expression did not improve, but became even gloomier. He suddenly said in a cold voice: "The child is young, what about you? A mere verbal apology is insincere, so, where is your sincerity?"
