Su Laosan remained silent.
Liu Quan chuckled a few times, then suddenly scolded with a smile, "Young lady, don't interrupt when adults are talking."
They've really grown up. Before, this little girl would always keep her head down when she saw anyone, but now she dares to question me?
Who gave her the courage?
"Do I need to repeat what Li Niang said?"
Chen Xian walked out calmly.
Liu Quan opened his mouth and looked at the men watching the commotion. Each of them held a brick in their hand, weighed it up and down, and swallowed hard.
He didn't want to get involved in this matter and get into trouble.
"Boss Chen, is it really necessary to make such a fuss? I know your village's headman very well, should we call him over?"
Damn it, if this guy finds out that the people from Red Leaf Village were talking about him, these guys will tear him apart.
The man building a house in Qingxia Village chuckled mockingly, "We're building a house, so it's perfectly reasonable for us to be holding a brick, isn't it?"
One of the men beside Old Man You quietly ran towards the village.
soon.
"Old Li is at home. I'm from Hongye Village. People from Qingxia Village are going to smash people from Hongye Village to death with bricks."
Chen Qingshan and Chen Gui were washing grain in the yard with horse baskets when they heard this and were taken aback.
He shook his head decisively and said, "Impossible. The villagers are always friendly. You must have provoked them first. They deserve to be beaten to death."
The man was speechless, then cried out, "Was it led by Boss Chen from your village?"
Chen Qingshan threw down the basket he was carrying, and the water-soaked wheat was immediately shaken out, floating everywhere in the vat.
We can't worry about that now.
"Tell me, did you start this trouble first?"
The man stammered, thinking to himself, "If I hadn't made things sound more serious, would you be in such a hurry?"
Chen Qingshan cursed under his breath, "Go to hell."
Chen Gui scolded, "Qingshan, we're from the next village, related by blood. Watch your words, be polite. You're not a man, you should say, 'Go to hell.'"
The man was helpless.
The three of them rushed off to the woods to the south.
Tensions were high.
Under the scorching sun, Liu Quan would occasionally stand on tiptoe to look around, wiping the sweat from his forehead. The sweat dripped onto the ground, and he cursed under his breath: "Damn it, where did Liu Laosan go? He's so slow, I can't keep up."
Three figures jogged over.
I spotted the old village head at a glance.
Liu Quan let out a soft sigh and looked calmly at Chen Xian.
"Mr. Chen, our two villages are close by, and we've intermarried, so we're related. I admit, the people from my village were foul-mouthed today. I'll make them apologize to you. Is that alright?"
He felt he was capable again.
Chen Xian frowned. "That's it?"
Seeing Chen Gui approach, Liu Quan said dismissively, "Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future."
"Uncle Gui, it was just a small disagreement that troubled you so much. How about I have someone apologize and we just let it go? Is that alright?"
They were trying to curry favor with Chen Gui. One Boss Chen was no threat. In the village, no matter how big your business was outside, you still had to give out candy and call people "uncle" when you came into the village. Sometimes, the village head and clan chief were more influential than your own father.
Chen Xian is nothing more than someone who earns more money in the village. Besides, he and Uncle Gui are related by marriage.
My aunt married Uncle Gui's second brother, so we're very close.
In his memory, Uncle Gui solved the problem with just one sentence. Even later, when Boss Chen was recruiting for his pig farm, he would ask Uncle Gui to make an exception and see if he could get a job through internal channels.
Chen Gui didn't even look at him, turning his head to look at Chen Xian with a worried expression.
"Xian-ge'er, are you alright?"
Liu Quan: "?"
What happened?
Chen Xian remained calm. "Young man, were you just trying to brush me off?"
That simple sentence made Liu Quan feel as if he had swallowed a razor blade; he was speechless with bitterness.
Chen Gui said indifferently, "Daquan, from what I'm saying, you didn't respect Brother Xian at all just now, or were you deliberately biased towards the people from Hongye Village who were the ones who started the trouble?"
Cold sweat broke out.
Liu Quan is numb. What's going on? Does that sound like it?
Chen Xian's words carried more weight than Uncle Gui's to a certain extent.
Su Laosan looked worried. After resting for a while, the pain had subsided. He whispered to his niece, "Forget it. I beat up You Laoda, and he kicked me. We're even. There's no need to let my niece's husband and the old village head hold a grudge. Liu Quan calls your old village head 'Uncle,' and his aunt married your old village head's brother. They're very close."
Li Niang smiled calmly.
"Third Uncle, please take a look."
That's how things are now.
Liu Quan explained everything clearly.
Li Niang also secretly explained the relationship between Chen Xian and his third uncle.
It seemed that his third uncle had taken the beating because of him and Li Niang, and Chen Xian felt relieved.
He chuckled and greeted Su Laosan.
"Third Uncle, hello, I am Chen Xian."
