When Huang Fengmao heard Huo Chengwang's words, the expression on his face stiffened for a moment, but he quickly recovered.
"Comrade Huo, there were just some misunderstandings before. After all, you were sent down here for reform. If I hadn't been stricter, the people above me would have thought I was irresponsible. Now that your reform has been successful, I have contributed to your success, but I have also worked hard."
"Oh, you are so arrogant. My ability to leave this cannibalistic village of yours has nothing to do with you. It was my relatives who helped me. Why are you trying to flatter me?" Huo Chengwang didn't give Huang Fengmao any face at all.
The corners of Huang Fengmao's eyes twitched slightly. In all these years, he had never been humiliated like this.
But when she thought about Lu Xiuyuan's identity, she gritted her teeth and endured it.
"I am a nobody and my words carry little weight. I really can't be of much help. I can only follow the orders from above and do my part." Huang Fengmao's words were quite insightful.
He labeled all the bullying and abuse he inflicted on Huo Chengwang and the others as following orders from above, and also wanted to indirectly tell Lu Xiuyuan and the others that if they had any problems, they should go to the people above them, and not to them, the people who were carrying out the responsibilities.
But although his idea was good, the Huo family might not accept it.
"Since Village Chief Huang doesn't think that what he is doing is his responsibility, what is there to worry about now?" Huo Chengwang glanced at him indifferently.
Huang Fengmao was a little speechless for a moment.
"Uncle, let's go." Huo Chengwang no longer cared about Huang Fengmao and turned his head to look at Huo Jianguo next to him.
"Yeah." Huo Jianguo nodded.
The few of them walked past Huang Fengmao without anyone even looking at him.
Huang Fengmao's hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched into fists, and he stared at their backs as if he were poisoned.
What he didn't expect was that at this moment, Su Miaomiao turned her head. Huang Fengmao didn't have time to retract the emotions in his eyes. He froze in place and it took him a while to squeeze out a forced smile.
Su Miaomiao didn't mind at all. She just curled the corners of her mouth and turned away.
Huang Fengmao was a little annoyed that he was a little too impatient just now.
It's just that in this village, people keep their word, and after being humiliated time and time again, it's really hard for him to suppress his emotions.
But what was that little girl's expression just now? Why does my back feel a little cold?
Since the people of the Huo family were unwilling to accept the farewell banquet he prepared, Huang Fengmao planned to implement the second method, which was to give gifts directly.
He calmed down and turned to walk into the village.
When Su Miaomiao and the others took Uncle Huo's ashes to the thatched hut, Tang Chunlan and the others had already packed their luggage.
Looking at the jars in their arms, my eyes couldn't help but feel sore.
Aunt Huo didn't know whether she understood something or not. She slowly walked in front of Huo Chengwang, her eyes fixed on the two jars in his arms.
"Inside is... Dad." Huo Chengwang's voice was a little hoarse.
Second Aunt Huo's pupils trembled slightly, and she stretched out her hand as if wanting to touch the jar.
Huo Chengwang understood what she meant and handed her the jar containing the ashes of Huo's second uncle.
Second Aunt Huo held her carefully, as if she were hugging her lover whom she had not seen for a long time.
Huo Chengwang almost cried again. His father and mother had always had a good relationship. His father's sudden departure was the biggest blow to his mother.
"Have you packed everything? If so, we can set off now." Su Miaomiao said loudly.
They had to leave this place quickly.
