Chapter 19 Doubt

"Liu Xi, what can I say about you? It's not enough that you instigated my nephew, and you also instigated Ma Cuilan. What on earth do you want to do? If people get to know about this, how will they look upon our Wafang Village?" Uncle Liu is an old and shrewd man. He put his hands behind his back, his eyes sharp.

Liu Xi was startled by his look. He thought that if this matter was known to others, and others looked at him with pity and ruined the reputation of the village, he would be in trouble. So he bowed his head and apologized quickly: "Village Chief, I'm really sorry, please don't be angry, I was wrong, I will never do it again next time!"

Seeing him like this, Uncle Liu sighed inwardly, shook his head and said, "It's been such a long time since Alan's incident, and that Yang guy got his comeuppance. After all, Xiao Gao and the others are innocent too. You're taking your anger out on them, and there's no point in getting to the point. Why make it so ugly?"

A dark light flashed across Liu Xi's eyes, but it disappeared quickly. "Village Chief, it was my own fault for thinking wrongly. I won't do it again in the future."

Uncle Liu saw that the other party kept his head down and did not look back at him. He thought that the other party did not take his words to heart. "Liu Xi, I am also watching you. I don't want you to go astray. I have said enough advice. It is up to you how to go on in the future."

Liu Xi sneered in his heart. Although these words sounded a bit like caring, they were not entirely true. "I know what you said, Village Chief, and I remember it. I will remember your teachings in my heart and will never do anything to let down the people of Wafang Village in the future."

"Well, I hope you really remember it this time. Okay, go home and save your wife from worrying." Uncle Liu never thought that his words of advice would become the fuse for the other party to secretly hate him.

Liu Xi returned home with a gloomy face. As soon as he opened the gate, he saw an honest-looking woman coming out. But after seeing his ugly face, she hurried to the gate, closed it, and then followed her man into the main hall. "Why do you look like that?"

"I didn't make it today." Liu Xi drank the boiled water in the cup in one gulp.

"What happened? Does anyone know about it?" There was a calculating look on the honest woman's face.

"I really underestimated those people. Not only did I not cause any trouble to them today, but I also made the village chief suspect me." Liu Xi showed his anger.

The woman frowned. "Old Liu, maybe the new educated youth here doesn't know anything? Will your act of alerting someone make him suspect something that happened a few years ago?"

"No, that guy must have suspected me. There was something wrong with his eyes the first time he looked at me. It was as if he could see the secret in my heart at a glance." Liu Xi didn't know how to describe the look in Jiang He's eyes. It was as if telling him that the other party knew how much he had hidden in the dark.

“But, the current village chief has already warned you. If you take action again, what if…” The woman was still more afraid of these things.

"Hmph, just give the village chief some face during this period of time and wait and see if they will make any moves. He is just an outsider, and I want to see how much waves he can make." After saying that, Liu Xi smiled and looked at the woman, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

…

"Now should we tell you why that Mr. Liu is trying to make things difficult for us?" Gao Youhui patted his belly, sat on a stone bench in the yard with a satisfied look on his face, picked his teeth and asked while looking at the full moon in the sky.

"He wants us to leave." Lu Feng picked up a stone bench nearby and sat down.

Gao Youhui turned around and said, "Isn't that nonsense? Didn't you notice that he was staring at the three of us as if we were the enemies who killed his father? I'm just confused. Isn't it too outrageous to vent his anger on others?"
