Upon hearing this, all the villagers straightened their chests, picked up sickles and hoes, and started hitting the three men.
Chu Zhenyuan was so frightened that he ran away while cursing, "Fine, fine, Chu Xiao, you just wait, this isn't over!"
Seeing this, Chu Yuanyin also grabbed Cao Shuiqin's sleeve and wailed:
"Mom, as long as we're alive, we can always rebuild. We'll figure out a way to take the farm back later. Getting out of here is the most important thing!"
Cao Shuiqin was so angry that she felt a mouthful of phlegm stuck in her chest, unable to spit it out or swallow it down, and could only let Chu Yuanyin drag her out of the farm.
Only after the group had completely escaped the farm did Chu Xiao reveal a sinister smile.
You bastards, I'll kill you all sooner or later!
Just then, the roar of a truck suddenly came from the road in the distance.
Chu Xiao looked up and saw that it was Zhao Anna who had come with a truck to deliver goods.
He hurriedly said to the village head, "Village head, I'm leaving this matter to you. I have other things to take care of. Why don't you take the villagers down first?"
The village chief nodded hurriedly and led a dozen villagers out of the farm.
As they passed by Zhao Anna, everyone instinctively gasped in surprise:
Wow, what a beautiful girl! I've never seen one like her before.
"Could she be Chu Xiao's girlfriend? They're a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman!"
"Alright, alright, hurry up and wipe your drool, stop looking!"
"..."
Chu Xiao listened to their whispers and smiled secretly.
Zhao Anna felt a little embarrassed by the villagers' gazes, especially when she recalled the scene of kissing Chu Xiao under the night sky that night. Her pretty face flushed, and she nervously clenched her hands.
Finally, Mu Zhicheng urged, "Chu Xiao, the vaccine has arrived. Aren't you going to pass it on to the ancient princess?"
Chu Xiao pulled his wheelchair to a stop in front of Zhao Anna.
"Dr. Zhao, have all the vaccines arrived? How many doses were there in total, and how much did they cost?"
Zhao Anna snapped out of her daze, "Oh, a total of eight thousand doses. The Zhao family will cover the cost temporarily, and we'll discuss it again once the vaccine is available..."
"No need, I'll transfer the money to you tonight! The Chen family is going to auction off my antiques, and you played a part in that. I can't let you suffer a loss. Could you please take the copper basin out of the trunk for me?"
Zhao Anna wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she decided not to refuse.
She placed the bronze basin on the open ground as Chu Xiao had instructed.
Chu Xiao then sent a message to Qin Yue Zhao:
"Princess Yue Zhao, the vaccine has arrived. Find a dry and cool place, and I will administer it to you."
——
Liangcheng Hongfang Street, an old house.
Qin Yue Zhao changed into a light robe and stood in the dim light.
The lanterns above the door swayed in the cold wind, making her appear tall and slender, like a fairy who lived apart from the world.
Chen Wan'er walked up, clutching her shoulder blade, and draped a black fox fur cloak over her shoulders.
"Your Highness, your injuries have not yet fully healed. Why are you standing here? You can leave this to Uncle Chen."
Qin Yue Zhao stared intently at the paper lanterns above the door, a bleak smile on her face.
"I was just thinking that this world is really unfair. Ordinary people work hard all their lives but still can't get enough to eat, while these merchants collude with the government, prey on the people, and enjoy mansions and live a very comfortable life."
"My grandfather spent his life on the battlefield, risking the lives of all the men of the Huo family, hoping to bring peace and prosperity to the people. But he never expected that in his death, he would be betrayed by the imperial court."
Wan'er sighed.
"Over the years, the old general has used most of his wealth for the benefit of the people, such as the orphanage in Kyoto, the Ganen Temple in the suburbs, and comforting the families of wounded and killed soldiers. He has done many good things that benefit the local people."
