Moreover, at that time, Xi Luo was aloof and noble, stunningly beautiful. She didn't need to pretend; she naturally exuded an air of superiority and elegance in every gesture. That's why the village chief remembered her so clearly.
"Twenty years ago, I wasn't the village chief; it was my father. I was only in my early twenties back then. I remember one day, two strangers suddenly came to the village, one of whom was that young lady."
"That young lady had a very big belly, judging by the size, she must be six or seven months pregnant. In our village, pregnant women are usually fat, ugly, and haggard. That was the first time I'd ever seen a pregnant woman who looked so beautiful..."
Recalling the event, the village chief scratched his head sheepishly.
A sharp gaze fell upon him, startling the village chief. He looked up and saw the cold and ruthless man sitting in the main seat looking at him. The village chief swallowed hard, no longer daring to indulge in his youthful fantasies, and quickly continued.
"The house you just saw was originally occupied by another family in our village. That young lady bought the house for 10,000 yuan."
You have to understand that twenty years ago, rural China was extremely poor. A family was already grateful to have enough to eat. But at that time, Xi Luo generously gave them 10,000 yuan to buy their dilapidated house, and the family was naturally happy to accept.
Back then, people with ten thousand yuan were a rarity!
"The family took the money and went to the city to buy a house, and that young lady lived in that house."
"They didn't look like poor people; they spent tens of thousands of yuan at once. At the time, we guessed that it must be a rich family's daughter who had somehow run to this remote corner of the village. Looking at her big belly, some people in the village said that it was a child that a rich family was keeping outside, probably to avoid being discovered by the wife, so she ran to our small place to raise the child."
People in the countryside are known for their gossip, and they said a lot of bad things about Shiloh back then.
"Then one day, the young lady suddenly asked my father to gather everyone in the village together, saying that she had something to talk about."
The village chief would never forget that scene. It was in his own home, and the young lady was sitting in the main seat, while the middle-aged man stood cautiously behind her in the seat where the gentleman was now sitting. There was also a box on the table.
Although the girl was six months pregnant, she still maintained a very good figure. Her hair only reached her shoulders, and she did not dress up deliberately; her hair was simply draped over her shoulders.
She leaned back slightly in her chair, one hand resting on her already protruding belly, her expression indifferent, elegant and noble.
Your village has a total of 232 people, and I have 50,000 yuan here.
“I know you are all short of money, and money is just a number to me. So I am happy to help you, but help is mutual, and you also need to do me a favor.”
The village chief tried his best to repeat what Xiluo had said back then.
"What I'm asking you to do is very simple: keep your mouths shut, focus on your own work, treat us like we're invisible, don't tell anyone about our existence, and don't discuss anything about us. Treat us like we're invisible, and no matter who asks you in the future, you must answer that you don't know."
"Anyone who can do this will receive 100 yuan, regardless of age. Anyone who can control their mouth will be called a smart person."
After the village chief finished speaking, he continued, "That young lady was so generous that everyone listened to her..."
