Chen Yanfang was the first one to disagree.
For her, Huo Chen’s compensation and apology for damaging Wen Zhiqing’s land could be forgiven, but Huo Chen’s framing of Huo Jue and Wen Zhiqing’s lives was truly unforgivable!
"Captain, Huo Chen damaged the farmland and collective interests. I forgive him for his apology, but we cannot forgive him for wanting to kill people!"
"Yes! That's what I meant!"
"Who knows who this will happen to? I can't accept this!"
"I understand the concerns of the villagers. Please calm down for a moment!"
The captain nodded: "I have already reported Huo Chen's case to the town. The town will definitely give us a response. We don't need to worry about this."
"Can you all agree on the rest?"
"There's nothing left to say."
The captain responded, "That means acceptance!"
"One more thing. Huo Chen has damaged our collective interests and caused Wen Zhiqing to suffer serious losses in wheat seeds. Huo Chen must compensate for this. Huo Chen, you should have no objection, right?"
Huo Chen shook his head: "Since I have done something that harms the collective interests, I must compensate you."
"Captain, I'll follow your instructions."
The captain nodded, feeling relieved. "That's good."
He nodded: "Then let's end this criticism meeting first!"
Huo Chen just felt extremely ashamed!
He stepped down from the stage and hurriedly left the threshing ground like a rat crossing the street, wishing he could leave as soon as possible.
"Li Mei, give Huo Jue the money for the seeds lost in the wheat field now!"
When the captain saw Li Mei was about to leave, he quickly stopped her and said, "Give the money in front of everyone, and it's settled."
She nodded and took out three cents: "Captain, you see, I gave you this money!"
She handed the money to Huo Jue with a snap. Huo Jue's eyes fell on Li Mei: "Aunt, then we are even."
Huo Jue put the money away. Li Mei sneered and turned away without saying a word.
Chen Yanfang pouted: "Do you really think she cares about her little money?"
Auntie Fatty grabbed Chen Yanfang and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Chen Yanfang pouted: "That's right!"
Wen Xia Nuan stood beside Huo Jue and watched him put the money away. She then looked at Auntie Pang and Chen Yanfang: "Auntie Pang, why don't you bring Yanfang to dinner tomorrow night? It's a token of our gratitude for saving my life."
This was what she had discussed with Huo Jue before she came.
Aunt Fat waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no need!"
Although every household has enough food these days, it is still embarrassing to actually eat other people's food.
Huo Jue also spoke at this time: "Aunt Fatty, please don't be embarrassed not to come. This time, we are all thanks to you."
Auntie Pang's smile at this moment was indeed sincere and came from the heart: "Okay, okay, if Jue-ge'er calls me, I will definitely go!"
When Wen Xia Nuan heard this address, she couldn't help but glance towards Huo Jue: "Brother Jue?"
Her puzzled eyes fell on Huo Jue, and Auntie Pang smiled cheerfully: "Oh, Wen Zhiqing doesn't know yet? The name Jue Ge'er was given by the old lady."
"I'm just used to repeating it, that's why I haven't changed it."
Wen Xia Nuan suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."
Auntie Pang responded, her tone somewhat nostalgic: "If it weren't for those things that happened later, Jue'er wouldn't have to make a living on the land."
Seeing that Auntie Pang was about to reminisce about the past, Chen Yanfang quickly reached out and tugged at her sleeve: "Mom, stop talking, it's getting late!"
Aunt Fat realized belatedly that she had said too much and nodded: "You are right, you are right."
"Brother Jue, I'll be leaving first."
Aunt Pang was dragged away by Chen Yanfang.
Wen Xia Nuan's gaze fell on Huo Jue, and her tone was teasing: "Brother Jue, it seems like you are hiding a lot of things from me?"
Huo Jue's whole body trembled. He looked at Wen Xia Nuan and his voice became hoarse in an instant: "Shout it again."
Wen Xia Nuan looked at him in confusion: "What?"
Huo Jue's clenched fists at his side slowly loosened, and his rationality returned. He met Wen Xia Nuan's gaze and gritted his teeth, "Nothing."
He shook his head. Wen Xia Nuan was stunned for a moment, then belatedly responded, "Oh."
[The male supporting character was aroused by the female lead's call of "Brother Jue"! ]
[The male supporting actor's eyes just now were as if he wanted to drag his daughter to the bar! ]
[Oh my, isn't the power of "Jue Ge'er" too great? ]
Barrages of comments appeared one after another. Wen Xia Nuan looked at the images in front of her and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Jue."
Huo Jue paused, Wen Xia Nuan raised an eyebrow, she didn't expect that her light call of "Brother Jue" would make him feel relieved.
"Wen Zhiqing, what did you call me?"
His voice was stiff, and a cunning look flashed across Wen Xia Nuan's eyes. She liked to see Huo Jue being tough on the outside but happy on the inside.
"I called you, didn't you hear me clearly?"
Huo Jue pursed his lips and stared at Wen Xia Nuan seriously.
Wen Xia Nuan walked forward, shaking her head. Huo Jue's gaze was deeply imprinted on her. She did it on purpose.
A fire rose in Huo Jue's heart, and he wanted to make Wen Xia Nuan his property right now, but his reason told him not to.
He has no background and no ability. Wen Xia Nuan is excellent and gentle. How could he be so despicable as to take her into his arms?
Huo Jue clenched his fists tightly and walked forward step by step.
Wen Xia Nuan also heard Huo Jue's footsteps. She chuckled in her heart, but did not stop at all.
"Wen Zhiqing, it's dark, be careful..."
Before Huo Jue could finish his words, he heard Wen Xia Nuan exclaim.
His face turned stern, and he walked over in a few steps. Seeing Wen Xia Nuan slumped on the side of the road, clutching her ankle, he quickly squatted down and said, "Let me take a look."
She loosened her grip on her ankle and looked at Huo Jue: "It's all your fault."
The road was pitch black, and she got carried away and stepped on a stone, twisting her ankle. Although Huo Jue came over quickly, she was still angry in her heart: "Huo Jue, my ankle hurts!"
"Stop kicking, can you still walk?"
Wen Xia Nuan struggled to get up, but cried out in surprise: "No, my ankle hurts!"
Her voice was choked with sobs. Huo Jue looked at Wen Xia Nuan, thought for a moment, and said, "Then bear with it. I will carry you back now."
Wen Xia Nuan responded, and Huo Jue put his hands around her waist and legs and picked her up sideways.
The man was slightly sweaty, not smelling bad but not pleasant either.
Strangely enough, this time she didn't look down on him in a shrewd way, but instead thought he was very manly.
Wen Xia Nuan's eyes fell on him, and she felt that she couldn't see enough of him.
