Chapter 108 After the Storm
The team quickly returned to Lingshui Village.
When Old Mrs. Xu saw Old Mr. Xu coming back with his men, she guessed the truth.
The imperial edict was taken away, and Fubao, the newly appointed head of Defu Township, once again became a nameless country girl.
When Fubao heard from his own mother that his own father had withdrawn the imperial edict and knew that he had lost the title of village chief, he just spit out a few bubbles.
She is just a village chief, as if she is so rare.
As God’s most beloved child, is this title important?
No impact at all!
No, it does have an impact!
Fubao vaguely remembered that someone had once played a trick on her and ended up in big trouble.
If I, the head of Defu Village, were to be taken back for this reason, who would be in trouble?
The imperial edict was sent by the emperor.
The emperor, known as the Son of Heaven, is generally considered to be the son of God, a person that all the people respect and look up to.
Fubao suddenly became curious. If the emperor retracted the imperial edict, would he also be in trouble?
Unfortunately, it will take several days for the imperial edict to be sent back to the capital.
Therefore, Fubao just had this thought at that time and forgot about it in an instant.
The Xu family had become a household name, and the relationship between Old Master Xu and Marquis Dingbei could not be concealed. Many people wanted to establish a relationship, but after learning that Old Master Xu had rejected the imperial edict, most of those who had just come up with the idea backed off, with the exception of a few who were still plotting.
After finishing the spring planting work, Xu Laosan went to the county school. A group of students led by Li Tuo directly stood against Xu Laosan, thinking that he had wasted his talent and were ashamed to associate with him.
"There's something wrong with your brain!"
After knowing why Li Tuo and his gang were against him, Xu Laosan was really speechless.
However, this is also good. What if I stay with such a group of idiots for a long time and get influenced by them?
Xu Laosan ignored the hostility of the group of people and took a carriage to the county school early every day. In the evening, he took another carriage home with Xu Laoda or Xu Laoer.
Because Xu Lao San rode in his family's carriage every day, and with his status as the top scorer in the Xiangyi Prefecture exam, the Xu family's carriage was very popular. After all, someone who could achieve the top scorer in a prefecture was likely a celestial being, and following him might just bring him some nobility.
Because of this, although some people followed suit and also got horse-drawn carriages to transport passengers and goods, they were completely unable to compete with the Xu family's business.
By the way, the Xu family now has two carriages for this business!
After knowing that Xu Laosan had this effect, Xu Laoda would take Xu Laosan to his reopened restaurant from time to time and occasionally let Xu Laosan waiter.
So, although the restaurant reopened, business soon became booming again, even better than before.
“What a talent!”
When Fubao found out that his eldest brother used his third brother to advertise, he really admired him.
In this era, everything is inferior except reading.
People who are good at reading are comparable to celebrities in later generations. They don’t even need to actively advertise, people will follow them spontaneously.
The Xu family resumed its orderly development.
Since his impassioned speech that day, Zhao Bingzhao, though still living in Sanhe Town, has stopped visiting Old Master Xu. It's unclear whether he's recovering from his injuries or plotting something. Or perhaps he's waiting for Old Master Xu to visit.
Unfortunately, Mr. Xu’s ideas are completely different from Zhao Bingzhao’s.
If Mr. Xu encountered the same thing, he would not choose to watch his daughter suffer, he would rather die together.
Just as he had said to the imperial envoy before, the people do not fear death, so why scare them with death?
Therefore, even if the Zhao family has their own difficulties, he will not forgive them.
What's more, the Zhao family didn't even try and simply chose to give in. If they tried, failed, and gave in, Mr. Xu wouldn't have any resentment.
But they did nothing!
I'm going to take my daughter out to play later, and will continue updating when I come back in the evening. Please forgive me!
