Chapter 540 The Old Village Chief's Transaction
Li Xiaojun failed to tease the beautiful woman and was beaten instead. Feeling ashamed, he ran back home.
My brother, who usually shows off his power, was lying on the kang, covered in wounds.
Li Xiaojun gloated but didn't show it. He said indignantly, "Dad, who hit my brother?"
His father seemed to be in a bad mood and told him to shut up and behave himself.
My cousin came in and spoke mysteriously to his father.
Li Xiaojun eavesdropped out of curiosity.
I only heard from my cousin that the young man took Xiao Shitou away.
Li Xiaojun was confused by what he heard and was caught red-handed by his father.
He originally thought he was going to be beaten, but unexpectedly his father's mood suddenly became very good. Not only did he not beat him, he also gave him a task - to keep an eye on Cai Gensheng's family.
After receiving the task, Li Xiaojun went to guard Cai Gensheng's house.
The courtyard is remote, far from Lijia Village, and is surrounded by dense woods. It becomes gloomy when it gets dark.
Li Xiaojun climbed up the tree and saw that there was only Cai Gensheng in the yard.
He was weaving bamboo baskets for selling vegetables, quietly and without any other movement for a long time.
Li Xiaojun was bored watching it, so he leaned against a tree and fell asleep.
What woke him was the sound of kicking at the door.
He was startled and looked down, only to see that the woman who beat him during the day appeared in the yard!
Li Xiaojun was shocked and scared and didn't dare to show his head.
After seeing the woman and Cai Shenghua enter the house, there was no movement for a long time.
Unable to suppress his curiosity, he sneaked into the backyard.
The back window of Cai Gensheng's house was open, making it convenient for him to peek.
As soon as Li Xiaojun showed up, he ran into Cai Shenghua and Wang Hong arguing.
"Bang!"
The wooden box fell and gold spilled all over the floor!
Li Xiaojun's eyes widened immediately, he stood up excitedly, and banged his head on the window.
I was almost discovered by a strange woman who was very vicious in beating people.
Li Xiaojun didn't care about the pain on his head and ran home.
——
"Did you really see it?" The old village chief stood up excitedly after hearing what Li Xiaojun said.
"Dad, how many times do you need me to tell you this? I saw it with both eyes."
Li Xiaojun was so anxious that he jumped up and down. When he thought of the gold, his mouth watered. "Dad, a whole box of gold, do we want it..."
He moved his hands downwards, a look of cruelty on his face.
The old village chief laughed a few times, "After thirty years, I finally got what I wanted!"
His eyes turned cold and he asked Li Xiaojun to quietly call a few cousins.
When everyone arrived, the old village chief nodded with satisfaction, and took advantage of the night to quietly go to Cai Gensheng's courtyard.
——
As soon as there was a movement in the yard, the three people in the house noticed it immediately.
Wang Hong thought that Cai Gensheng had come back and her face turned pale with fright.
The first person to come in was the old village chief, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't notice that when she saw the person coming in was the old village chief, Cai Shenghua immediately got angry like a kitten whose tail was stepped on.
Wang Hong was still "mute" and used gestures to ask the old village chief if there was anything wrong.
The old village chief glanced at the wooden box on the table and thought to himself, "I came here to talk to Cai Gensheng about something."
Wang Hong gestured and said: He is out. Come back tomorrow if you have anything.
The old village chief shook his head and said, "It's the same as what I told you."
He stopped beating around the bush, his eyes fixed on the wooden box, and asked directly, "Is this filled with gold bars?"
Wang Hong's face changed and she stood up to block the wooden box.
Seeing that she denied it, the old village chief took out two gold bars from his clothes and shook them.
The gold bar, two fingers wide, was exactly the same as the one in the wooden box.
Wang Hong was surprised.
Cai Shenghua helped the old lady and asked, "How did the old village chief get the gold bars from my old lady's family?"
"This is what Cai Gensheng gave me." The old village chief laughed and said, "Without these two gold bars, do you think you can stay in Lijia Village?"
He was wearing gold bars, and his old voice was full of intoxication.
Ye Rou raised an eyebrow and suddenly interrupted, "No wonder you insisted that Cai Zhenli marry Li Gang. Was it originally for these gold bars?"
The old village chief did not deny it, "You are very smart girl."
He said frankly, "Zhen Li is such a disappointment to me. I asked her to marry my son and treated her like my own daughter. I never thought she would dare to run away with Xiao Xia."
The old village chief shook his head, his dim and turbid eyes full of disappointment.
Wang Hong poked the old village chief with her finger, her face full of anger, "Ah! Ah!"
No one could understand her ambiguous voice, but everyone present could feel her anger.
The old village chief seemed to understand Wang Hong's meaning and nodded, "Yes, Li Gang was allowed to marry Zhenli just for the gold bars."
"My dear, don't blame Gangzi. I asked him to beat Zhenli."
His sudden words shocked the three people present at his shamelessness and arrogance.
The old village chief chuckled and continued, "I've talked to Gensheng. If he gives me the remaining gold, I'll make Gangzi stop beating Zhenli. Unfortunately..."
Cai Shenghua reacted.
"Uncle is stubborn and cold-hearted. You couldn't control him with Sister Zhenli. And since Sister Zhenli happened to escape, you set your sights on our family!"
The little girl clenched her fists and angrily exposed the old village chief's conspiracy.
The old village chief raised his eyebrows, "Yes, I thought these gold bars belonged to the Cai brothers, but I didn't expect that I was wrong. It turns out that these golds -
"It's yours." He cast a gloomy look at Wang Hong.
Wang Hong glared back fiercely and gestured: What do you want to do?
The old village chief smiled sinisterly, "I'll make a deal with you today."
He ran his fingers over Ye Rou and the other two. "I'd like to exchange this gold for three lives. Do you agree?"
Wang Hong was stunned.
Cai Shenghua said in disbelief: "If I don't give you the gold, are you going to kill me?"
The old village chief laughed and said, "If you want to blame someone, blame your uncle. He built his house in such a remote place just for the sake of peace and quiet."
He looked up at the hut and sighed, "That's convenient for me."
The old village chief spoke in a relaxed tone, but it frightened Cai Shenghua so much that he took a step back and broke out in a cold sweat.
"You can't kill anyone."
"Naive." The old village chief laughed and said, "This is Lijia Village, my village."
He looked at Wang Hong and said, "Give me the gold now, and I can spare the lives of the three of you. Do you agree?"
Wang Hong didn't hesitate and pushed the wooden box forward. "If you want it, take it."
The old village chief was delighted and reached out to pull the wooden box.
"Bang!" Xiubai's slender hand slapped the box, blocking his movement.
