Chapter 258: Village Rumors



"I came here today because Cao Zi has no time to take care of me, so I thought of coming to see you. Are you...are you okay now?"

Xu Guang looked at Yang Lemei affectionately, as if he had thousands of words in his heart but couldn't say them...

"I'm fine." Yang Lemei subconsciously avoided Xu Guang's gaze. Why did she feel that something was particularly wrong with him today?

"Brother Xu, I'm busy and I don't have time to entertain you... But thank you for coming to see me. You're the first classmate to come and see me since graduation."

Yang Lemei said with a faint smile. No matter what, it has been so long, she should let it go.

After she figured it out, she felt particularly relieved.

Xu Guang's face froze for a moment. He didn't understand why Yang Lemei let him go so suddenly. Shouldn't she treat him to lunch?

Could it be that he had just said something wrong that had offended her...

"It seems that I came at an untimely time, but what are you busy doing in your village? I didn't see anyone on my way here just now."

"It's just a solution that the whole village found together, so everyone is very concerned about it."

"Then I'll come to see you next time? I don't have any other intentions, I just want to have more contact with you..." It has to be said that Xu Guang is particularly good at coaxing women and knows how to grasp their minds.

Yang Lemei nodded in astonishment, "Okay, I'll treat you next time."

Seeing that she agreed, Xu Guang smiled gently, then turned and left.

He Pengcheng was sitting at the table. When he looked up, he saw Yang Lemei, who usually was eager to settle accounts, sitting with her chin in her hand in a daze.

"Le Mei?" After calling out but getting no response, He Pengcheng raised his voice again, "Le Mei!"

Yang Lemei suddenly came back to her senses and saw He Pengcheng looking at her with concern. She was a little embarrassed, "Uncle He, what's wrong?"

"What are you thinking about, kid? You're so absorbed in it. We have an urgent task. We need to calculate the accounts as soon as possible and check them again. Don't be distracted, ah."

Yang Lemei blushed in embarrassment, "Uncle He, I'll do it right away."

He Pengcheng breathed a sigh of relief. How could a young man not do more? How long would it take for him to succeed if he relied on himself alone?

Feng Lingyu frowned and watched all this.

"Xiao Yu, what's wrong?" Seeing Feng Lingyu standing there with a worried look on his face, Gao Xiaotao asked with concern.

"Nothing, just pay attention to Lemei recently...tell me immediately if anything happens." Feng Lingyu withdrew his gaze indifferently and turned to look at Gao Xiaotao.

Gao Xiaotao was a little confused, but she didn't ask any more questions and just nodded.

Although Le Mei is also a friend of mine, the one I put first is Xiaoyu.

In the following period of time, Xu Guang frequently came to Qingshan Village to find Yang Lemei.

Of course, Yang Fugui's tip-off was indispensable in this process, otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that Xu Guang would come to Yang Lemei as soon as she had free time.

Not only did the rumor spread in the village, but even Yang Jianguo heard about it.

"Le Mei, what's going on between you and that guy? Many people in the village are talking about it..." Yang Jianguo thought that if the two young people were interested in each other, they should settle it first.

This would prevent people in the village from gossiping about her and ruining her reputation.

Yang Lemei lowered her eyes, making it difficult for people to see the expression on her face. "Dad, he and I are just classmates. It's nothing."

"But you two are unmarried, and it's not good for your reputation to see each other often." Yang Jianguo's face darkened and he asked in a deep voice, "Is it because he doesn't want to take responsibility and thinks you are a country bumpkin?"

"Dad, it's really not! I know what I'm doing and nothing will happen!" Yang Lemei explained hurriedly.

Xu Guang feels that everything has been going too smoothly recently.

Cao Zi's leg is broken now, so she has no chance to look after herself, which would give her time to look for Yang Lemei.

Recently, Yang Lemei's attitude has also softened. When the money for the herbs from Qingshan Village arrives, he will instigate her to steal the money for him...

Xu Guang now has a clear understanding of the situation in Qingshan Village. He calculated that Qingshan Village will receive at least 10,000 yuan in remittances this time.

That’s ten thousand dollars!

Even if he worked as a worker all his life, he wouldn't be able to earn so much money!

Once I get the money, I will take Yang Lemei away. If she is obedient, I will support her.

If she doesn't obey... I'll sell her.

"Xiao Yu, there's obviously something wrong with Xu Guang. Le Mei won't suffer any loss, right?" Gao Xiaotao said worriedly.

Several times she noticed Xu Guang smiling with ill intent, but Le Mei was completely unaware.

"Should we tell Le Mei so she can be prepared?"

"If you tell her now, do you think she will believe you?" Feng Lingyu felt that Gao Xiaotao was thinking too simply. Sometimes, people are only willing to believe what is in their hearts. Even if you put evidence in front of her, she may not be willing to believe it.

"What should I do then?"

"Haven't you been following her all the time? What are you afraid of? She won't really get into trouble." Besides, she wanted to see what Yang Fugui was going to do.

Wasn't his mission in Qingshan Village to find the Feng family's treasure? Why was he hanging around the village every day?

The letter found in Yang Fugui's house that time recorded what Yang Fugui had done for the second wife of the Feng family over the years.

He was bought off 10 years ago when he was just an ordinary gangster.

At first, he was only responsible for delivering some news about Feng Dingbang, because Feng Dingbang would come back every year to worship his ancestors.

Later, Yang Fugui started looking for the treasure. Ling Qingyue certainly didn't believe him, so she just asked him to be a guide and sent Zhou Yi and Zhou San, who were by her side, to help look for it together.

After searching for several times without results, they decided to set the house on fire. As a result, the house was burned to ashes and nothing was found.

In the end, Ling Qingyue had almost given up hope. It seemed that the legendary Feng family treasure was not hidden in the Feng family's ancestral home.

But she did not give up. Instead, she spent money to support Yang Fugui and let him continue looking.

Yang Fugui and Feng Lingyu will have to be dealt with sooner or later, but definitely not now, because the information that Yang Fugui can convey is all what he wants him to see.

If we get rid of him now, we will alert the enemy.

Ling Qingyue will send more powerful people to deal with me, so it’s better to keep him.

"Uncle Gao has sent news. In a few days, they will arrive in the Northeast." Feng Lingyu saw Gao Xiaotao with a frown on her face, so he told her the good news.

All in all, the father and daughter haven't seen each other for half a year.

Gao Xiaotao's eyes lit up instantly when she heard this, "Really? How long will they stay here?"

"Uncle Gao also has a mission to accomplish. We'll have to wait until he arrives to tell us the details." Feng Lingyu thought that, based on the current speed of preparing medicinal materials, they should be able to finish everything before they arrive.

Zhao Qingshu has already called to urge them to improve their progress. The situation in Beijing should be quite tense.

The reason why Qingshan Village was able to purchase medicinal materials this time was because Zhao Qingshu gave one-third of the money in advance, and up to now, the money has not been used up.

On the other hand, Xu Guang also learned from Yang Fugui that the factory had paid money in advance...
