The head of the Song family, a collateral branch, panicked upon hearing this.
"We're just here to reason things out. You have your reasons, so be it."
"Yeah, we're not the ones demanding compensation from you, so why are you blaming us?"
Then they all left.
This farce has finally come to an end.
Zhao Lizheng continued, saying to one of his brothers, "Go tell the Song family that if they cause any more trouble, we'll report them to the authorities and have the whole family arrested."
Qiao Lian'er was initially a little worried that Zhao Lizheng might make the Qiao family pay some money in order to appease the situation.
Fortunately, Zhao Lizheng is a man of principle.
The county government has already registered and corrected everything, and it's all officially stamped. There's no reason for them to offer compensation.
The villagers dispersed, and the Qiao family expressed their gratitude to Zhao Lizheng.
"This is what I should do. The main thing is to build bridges, which is what people want, and everyone supports you."
Yes, it is extremely rare for a grandson to change his surname. The reason why it has received so much support is because of that bridge.
Otherwise, there would definitely be many different opinions in the crowd.
At that point, he will have no choice but to take both into account.
Qiao Lian'er understood what Zhao Lizheng meant and assured him, "Uncle Zhao, don't worry. As long as the materials and construction are done according to the specifications, there won't be any problems."
Those bright black eyes held absolute certainty, which reassured Zhao Lizheng.
"Uncle Zhao, I have a suggestion."
"Okay, go ahead."
"To prevent sabotage, it is recommended that someone guard the bridge at all times, including at night."
Zhao Lizheng thought about it and realized that it would cost a little more in labor, but compared to the consequences of the bridge construction failing, it was insignificant.
Moreover, the Song family's fields are all located far from the river, so they are hardly affected. After what just happened, they must be jealous of the bridge's success and need to be careful.
"That's a good suggestion, I'll take your advice."
"Also, the stuff your family gave me was delicious. The foreman still talks about it. I told him to finish the project on time, and maybe there would be more food for him."
"Little Lian'er, will there be any left in a month?" Zhao Lizheng asked expectantly. It wasn't just the foreman who wanted to eat it; he wanted to eat it himself too.
“Yes, Uncle Zhao—” Qiao Lian’er was about to say how many kilograms he would send.
"That's good, I'll go now."
Zhao Lizheng left in a hurry. He was currently very busy and had been forced to come by the Song family.
Qin Bu was also in the crowd, looking a little nervous. His gaze was fixed on Qiao Yunni's face. In this situation, she seemed helpless and embarrassed. After all, the matter of severing ties and getting divorced was being brought up again and again, which was like repeatedly reopening old wounds.
Now that the Song family has finally left, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The villagers dispersed, and Qin Bu was about to leave when Old Lady Qiao called him back.
“Nephew Qin, I haven’t had a chance to properly thank you for the things you brought to the Qiao family yesterday.”
Upon seeing this, Lady Lü went to the kitchen.
Qin Bu said, "Aunt Qiao, don't be so polite with me. I've not only given some to your family, but also to other families. It's just that we can't finish them all, and it would be a waste to leave them here."
He lied; he didn't deliver to the other families, and he wasn't exactly well-off himself.
Grandma Qiao noticed his shifty eyes and understood, but she didn't expose him. Honest people always lie so unnaturally.
Seeing that no one was around, Old Mrs. Qiao lowered her voice and said, "Back then, the Qiao family wronged you."
