Since Liu Ruonan had asked, the village chief couldn't hold back any longer. He turned around and looked at Liu Ruonan, his brows slightly furrowed, an awkward smile spreading across his lips. He opened his mouth, then swallowed it back, back and forth several times. The village chief sighed deeply, and finally mustered the courage to speak.
"Hey, little Ruonan! Come on, I really can't say this. You don't know, Zhuang Qiang has been rushing to my house to make trouble for three meals a day these days. I feel embarrassed..."
Having said that, the village chief's tone was full of helplessness. After a long sigh, he shook his head repeatedly.
After hearing what the village chief said, Liu Ruonan could probably guess what was going on. People like Zhuang Qiang and Chen Guihua were so greedy for small profits. Now they were watching their son, whom they didn't think highly of back then, suddenly become so successful. All the benefits went to other families, but they didn't get a penny. How must this couple feel?
Liu Ruonan had already thought that Zhuang Qiang would make trouble sooner or later, but she didn't expect that it would happen a little later than she expected.
Liu Ruonan could naturally understand the difficulties of being a village chief. Back then, when Zhuang Qiang decided to kick Zhuang Sheng out of his home, he also went to the village chief to handle it. At that time, most of the villagers were still there!
It's only been a short time, and you're already going back on your word.
As an outsider, the village chief was embarrassed to handle this matter. How could Zhuang Qiang have the nerve to do so?
Although Liu Ruonan had seen through everything, she couldn't speak out first! So she said to the village chief: "What's the fuss?"
"Isn't it because of Zhuang Sheng's matter? Zhuang Qiang said he regretted it and wanted to recognize Zhuang Sheng as his son again. He wanted me to be the one making the decision. What do you think of me... Oh!"
The village chief really didn't know what to say. He patted his thigh, looking helpless.
Liu Ruonan was not surprised at this. She said to the village chief:
"This is the first time I've heard of something like this. He didn't want his son anymore, so he kicked Zhuang Sheng out of the house. Now that his son has become successful, he wants him back? He has the final say in everything. He really thinks he's a piece of cake! Uncle, there's no need to discuss this with Zhuang Sheng. I'll just give him a pass. This won't work."
The village chief looked at Liu Ruonan. He didn't expect that this girl would speak so forcefully. However, what she said was not without reason.
Not to mention that Liu Ruonan disagreed, even Zhuang Sheng, as the person involved, would not agree.
When Zhuang Sheng was kicked out of the house, he must have been in such a state of humiliation. He could have just asked for some money to spend on a daily basis. But Zhuang Qiang kicked his son out of the house when he was most helpless and in pain, without a trace of hesitation or mercy.
Not to mention your own son, even if it is a dog that your family has raised for many years, if you want to kill it and eat its meat, you have to think carefully about whether you can bear to do so!
That incident must have chilled Zhuang Sheng's heart, right?
The village chief nodded and said to Liu Ruonan, "Okay! I'll convey your message to Zhuang Qiang."
"Okay, thank you, uncle!" Liu Ruonan thanked with a smile.
The village chief sighed and turned to leave, but just as he turned around, he ran into Zhuang Sheng who had returned from outside.
"Uncle, why are you here?" Zhuang Sheng looked at the village chief and greeted him with a puzzled look.
"Ah!" The village chief just sighed, but he still didn't know how to start. To be honest, this matter was indeed quite difficult to handle. No matter what, Zhuang Qiang was also a villager in their village. Although he was not a very honest person, he had something to ask for help. What's more, he was not begging, but making a fuss!
At this point, the village chief was really at a loss.
Seeing the village chief in such an awkward situation, Zhuang Sheng turned his gaze to Liu Ruonan, wanting to seek answers from her.
Liu Ruonan smiled, looked at Zhuang Sheng and explained, "Nothing serious, it's just that Lai Di's father has been making a fuss these past few days and wants to take you back."
Liu Ruonan didn't want to call Zhuang Qiang by his name. No matter what kind of person he was, he was still an elder. So, she called him "Laidi's father."
When Zhuang Sheng heard Liu Ruonan's words, it was as if a sharp knife had stabbed into his heart. It felt like he was about to suffocate.
This matter is quite funny. Although Liu Ruonan looks calm and composed, she must be feeling sad for Zhuang Sheng in her heart, right?
Zhuang Sheng seemed to have exerted a great deal of effort before finally appearing calm. He looked at the village chief and said, "Uncle, go and tell him! If this doesn't work out, and he continues to make trouble, tell him to come over and we'll resolve this ourselves."
After hearing what Zhuang Sheng said, the village chief didn't know what to say and turned away.
Liu Ruonan walked forward and looked at Zhuang Sheng, her eyes full of deep affection. She felt the same way, so her heart ached as well.
"It's okay. Actually, this is to be expected. It's just their nature. There's no need to be sad about it."
Zhuang Sheng took Liu Ruonan's hand, feeling the warmth from her palm, looked at her, and said with concern: "I'm not sad. As long as you are by my side, no matter what happens, I won't be sad."
The smile on Liu Ruonan's lips spread wildly.
Zhuang Sheng was actually quite a dull person, at least emotionally. He was pleasantly surprised to hear such words.
"Is this a confession to me?" Liu Ruonan joked.
Zhuang Sheng's ears instantly turned red. Liu Ruonan looked very playful at the moment, and the smile on her lips was full of mischief.
Seeing Liu Ruonan like this, Zhuang Sheng's heart trembled, and he wanted to kiss her lips.
However, in this era, people are generally more conservative. Even though Zhuang Sheng had such thoughts in his heart, he couldn't do it in public. He had no choice but to suppress his inner feelings and drag Liu Ruonan back home.
When Liu Kaixu heard someone coming, he went out to see. He already knew everything about Zhuang Sheng and Liu Ruonan when he asked about Liu Ruonan's father.
I didn't expect that Zhuang Qiang would be so shameless.
Liu Kaixu was furious and wanted to confront the village chief. But Song Xinlan stopped him in the end. She said that this was Zhuang Sheng's business and the final outcome of the matter must be decided by Zhuang Sheng.
Although Zhuang Qiang is ruthless in his actions, he is Zhuang Sheng's biological father after all. Before Zhuang Sheng expresses his opinion, no one else can make decisions for him, including his wife Liu Ruonan.
