After telling the village secretary about the matter, Liu Xiaoyuan got up and left the village secretary's house. Before leaving, Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and said to the village secretary, "Village secretary, why doesn't Widow Zhang in our village get married yet?"
This sudden question completely stunned the village secretary. He didn't know why Liu Xiaoyuan would suddenly ask this question, and his heart skipped a beat.
Then, feeling guilty, the village secretary couldn't help but wonder if Liu Xiaoyuan knew about his affair with Widow Zhang.
Thinking this way, the village secretary became a little scared. If Liu Xiaoyuan told others about this, how could he face anyone in the village?
However, if such a thing isn't caught red-handed, it will only be a rumor. Therefore, the village secretary isn't worried about it at all. He just needs to be careful next time he goes to Widow Zhang's house and make sure he doesn't get caught.
"How would I know? I'm not the matchmaker, Xiao Yuan, don't you think?" the village secretary said with a smile.
Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, the village secretary is right, but village secretary, have you ever thought that as the village secretary, you could have cared about Widow Zhang? Look at her, she's a widow, she's very lonely."
The village secretary immediately waved his hand and said, "Xiao Shao, you can't make jokes like that, you know?"
Liu Xiaoyuan knew when to stop, and said with a smile, "Alright, village secretary, I'm not joking with you anymore, I'll go back now."
The village secretary is now eager for Liu Xiaoyuan to leave, because he always feels that Liu Xiaoyuan seems to know about his affair with Widow Zhang. In front of Liu Xiaoyuan, there is absolutely no privacy between them.
"Take care, Xiao Yuan. I won't see you off," the village secretary said with a smile.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Village Secretary, you don't need to see me off. You should rest. You must be tired from discussing things with the villagers last night. You need to get some rest."
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, the village secretary nearly stumbled and fell to the ground.
Liu Xiaoyuan returned home. His mother had gone to the pond to wash clothes. Although they now had running water, his mother still preferred to wash clothes in the pond.
Firstly, washing clothes in a pond allows for a cleaner rinse, and secondly, if you run into acquaintances, you can chat while washing clothes.
Liu Xiaoyuan felt relieved when his mother went to do the laundry. He was worried that his mother might still be upset about what happened at dinner, so he helped Su Xue tidy herself up.
Su Xue was cleaning the house when she saw Liu Xiaoyuan return. She snorted coldly and continued cleaning, ignoring Liu Xiaoyuan.
Liu Xiaoyuan thought that Su Xue was probably still angry, still angry about last night.
Liu Xiaoyuan originally didn't want to pay attention to Su Xue. If you're angry, let you be angry. You can't spoil her too much, or she'll become a monster.
But then I thought, as a man, I should be more magnanimous, instead of being petty about everything.
"Xue'er, time to clean up?" Liu Xiaoyuan walked up to Su Xue and asked with a grin.
Hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Su Xue glanced at him and said, "Don't bother me here. I need to clean. Move aside."
"Xue'er, are you still angry about what happened last night?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked with a grin, knowing that it takes shame to coax a woman.
Su Xue said irritably, "I'm not angry. Which eye of yours saw that I was angry? I'm not angry."
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "Xue'er, are you still angry? Okay, don't be angry anymore, okay? I was wrong, alright? I'll make it up to my Xue'er tonight and make sure she drinks more milk."
Su Xue didn't understand what Liu Xiaoyuan meant by drinking milk, and said, "He doesn't drink milk. He can have it after dinner."
Hearing that Su Xue was so cute, Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "Xue'er, it's good for a woman's health to drink milk often, and it's said to be able to beautify the skin. It's just that my abilities are limited, otherwise I would let my Xue'er take a milk bath."
Su Xue glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan and said, "What's so difficult about a milk bath? You're such a rich guy, aren't you? As long as you have money, buying milk is a piece of cake."
"Xue'er, the milk I'm talking about can't be bought with money," Liu Xiaoyuan said with a sigh.
Su Xue asked, puzzled, "Xiao Yuan, don't lie to me, okay? What kind of milk can't be bought with money?"
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately whispered something in Su Xue's ear, and upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's plan, Su Xue's face turned bright red.
"You bad guy, how could you be so mean?" Su Xue put down the broom in her hand and swung her fist at Liu Xiaoyuan.
Liu Xiaoyuan easily dodged Su Xue's fist and said with a smile, "Xue'er, don't you like this kind of milk?"
Su Xue was too lazy to talk to Liu Xiaoyuan, that scoundrel. Of course she liked that kind of milk, but he just wouldn't say it.
"Alright, Xue'er, focus on cleaning. You'll get milk as a reward tonight." Liu Xiaoyuan chuckled and kissed Su Xue on the cheek before leaving, humming a little tune.
Watching Liu Xiaoyuan's retreating figure, Su Xue felt an extraordinary sense of happiness.
The village party secretary told the villagers about how Liu Xiaoyuan had brought in investors, and suddenly Liu Xiaoyuan became a hero of the whole village.
Liu Xiaoyuan knew in his heart that the village secretary was not trying to make him famous, but rather to force him into a corner.
Because once this matter gets out and the whole village knows about it, even if the investors don't come, Liu Xiaoyuan will find other ways.
Because everyone needs to save face, and the higher a person's status, the more they need to maintain their image.
The village party secretary brought this up to cut off Liu Xiaoyuan's escape route.
Liu Xiaoyuan was well aware of the village secretary's little tricks, but he didn't say anything, since he was absolutely certain he could get away with it.
However, Liu Xiaoyuan was a little unhappy about the village party secretary's little tricks.
In the afternoon, many villagers came to Liu Xiaoyuan's house to curry favor with him. In their view, Liu Xiaoyuan had brought in investors and must have a lot of power. They just wanted Liu Xiaoyuan to give them some benefits.
Liu Xiaoyuan was speechless at the villagers' behavior. These villagers were really something, always trying to take advantage of others. It was truly unbelievable.
What's worse, these villagers also brought gifts to Liu Xiaoyuan's house, such as eggs laid by their own chickens.
The key point is that Liu Xiaoyuan already has all these things at home, so why would he need them?
Finally, it took Liu Xiaoyuan a lot of effort to get rid of these villagers. After getting rid of them, Liu Xiaoyuan felt like he had done a physical job, like he had carried a hundred bags of cement.
