"Huo Jue, why are you here again?"
The captain's head ached. Ever since hearing the news from the town, Li Mei and Huo Chen, mother and son, had been crying and refusing to leave. He was now somewhat helpless. Seeing Huo Jue leave and come back, he rubbed his forehead and asked, "Are you really afraid that this isn't a big enough incident?"
The eldest's words to the eldest were very blunt.
Huo Jue understood the captain's dilemma and was about to speak when Li Mei rushed towards him, "Huo Jue, all this is your fault! Give your brother's job back!"
Li Mei grabbed Huo Jue's collar tightly, her eyes full of anger.
"Li Mei, what are you crazy about?"
The captain looked at the scene and quickly stepped forward to pull Li Mei away, but Li Mei used all her strength to hold on to Huo Jue's collar tightly.
Upon seeing this, the captain quickly looked at Huo Chen, who was standing aside and didn't care about anything, and said, "Why don't you come over and lend a hand!"
Huo Chen didn't say anything, nor did he come towards them. To him, everything his mother had done was Huo Jue's own fault.
"Li Mei, are you done yet?"
Wen Xia Nuan walked into the house with a sullen expression. Seeing this, the young man who was following her hurriedly pulled Li Mei away.
Huo Chen's face changed when he saw him appear, and he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Brother, why are you here?"
This young man turned out to be Chen Ce, the older brother of the girl Huo Chen was dating in town.
Chen Ce's face looked very unhappy. When he was standing outside the village committee, he had already seen the true faces of Li Mei and Huo Chen, mother and son.
Hearing what Huo Chen said, he also said angrily: "If I hadn't come, how would I know that you have lost your job now?"
"Huo Chen, you're really good. You hid it from our family while doing these things to your cousin in the village!"
Chen Ce panted and cursed, "I think we should just let it go between you and my sister."
Huo Chen's expression changed immediately, and he explained, "Brother, things are really not what you think. My mother is just angry..."
Wen Xia Nuan, standing aside, could see that Huo Chen in front of him valued this man very much, and his tone was full of respect.
I guess this person is his support in the town.
At this moment, the barrage of comments also appeared in front of him.
[This Chen Ce is the son of the town mayor. Huo Chen later rose to prominence thanks to this family. After he became the county magistrate, he simply forgot about this family!]
"That's right. Huo Xiao also benefited greatly from relying on the Chen Ce family! Besides, everyone at school respected him, thinking he was a relative of the Chen family!"
Wen Xia Nuan saw this and finally understood why Huo Xiao would stand on Huo Chen's side to deal with his own elder brother.
Thinking of Chen Ce's background, Wen Xia Nuan had her own thoughts in her heart.
"Huo Chen, what you said is not right. Why don't you tell me? Why did the town fire you?"
When Wen Xia Nuan said this, Huo Chen's expression changed. Even Chen Ce looked towards Wen Xia Nuan. "Comrade, do you know something?"
Chen Ce's voice came, and Wen Xia Nuan smiled: "This is a long story."
"Wen Xia Nuan, I'm going to tear your mouth apart."
Li Mei felt guilty, and seeing Wen Xia Nuan about to tell her about what her son had done before, she hurried forward to stop her.
Wen Xia Nuan took a few steps back. Chen Ce also stepped forward and stopped Li Mei. He looked at Huo Chen threateningly and said, "Why don't you stop your mother quickly?"
"Mom, please stop making trouble."
Huo Chen also noticed Chen Ce's annoyance. He was afraid that his mother would displease him, so he quickly grabbed his mother's hand to prevent her from making trouble again.
Chen Ce also looked at Wen Xia Nuan: "Comrade, why don't you tell me what's going on now?"
Wen Xia Nuan glanced at Huo Chen, and Chen Ce immediately understood and said, "You don't have to be afraid. If anyone dares to do anything to you, you can always come to town to find me in the future."
When Huo Chen heard this, his face darkened even more.
Wen Xia Nuan smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. Huo Chen just locked me and his cousin in the granary. In this hot weather, if the villagers who passed by hadn't seen us, I'm afraid his cousin and I would have died long ago."
"What?"
Chen Ce's expression changed, and he looked at Huo Chen in disbelief: "This could kill someone. Huo Chen, how dare you do such a thing?"
Huo Chen stammered and wanted to speak, but looking at Chen Ce, he couldn't say anything else.
Instead, Li Mei, who was standing aside, quickly explained: "These things are all misunderstandings! My son has a really good reputation in the village for his good people's livelihood. On the contrary, Huo Jue not only has a bad background, but also has an entanglement with the educated youth in the village!"
"If you don't believe me, you can go to the village and ask around."
The captain didn't expect that Li Mei would throw so much dirty water on Huo Jue just for her son's reputation.
He shouted angrily: "Enough!"
The captain saw Li Mei's expression change, then looked at Chen Ce standing nearby and said, "Comrade, don't listen to her nonsense. Huo Jue has a very good reputation in our village!"
"On the contrary, Huo Chen relies on his job in town and looks down on us country folk!"
Chen Ce had also made up his mind. He was even glad that he was willing to go to the countryside this time. Only then did he see clearly what kind of people Huo Chen's family was!
Thinking of this, he also looked at the captain and said, "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know the limits. I have eyes and can naturally tell the difference."
"Huo Chen, now that you've lost your job and your reputation is so bad, let's just end the matter between you and my sister. If I find out you're secretly looking for her in town, you know the consequences!"
Huo Chen's expression changed, and he collapsed to the ground in exhaustion.
Seeing this, Li Mei reached out to pull her son up, but Huo Chen had no strength left, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't do anything.
"Huo Jue, now that you've made your brother into this state, you're happy, right?"
Li Mei's cursing voice was heard. Wen Xia Nuan saw it and without thinking, she reached out and grabbed Huo Jue's sleeve, pulling him out.
"Comrade, could you wait a moment?"
When Chen Ce heard the sound, he stopped and his eyes fell on the two people running towards him from behind.
Wen Xia Nuan finally caught up with him and before he could even catch his breath, he hurriedly asked, "Comrade, you have some power in this town, right?"
