Chapter 228 Rumors



When the tomb robbers saw Huang Shudie like this, they secretly showed contempt for her. She was so greedy.

The people in the village were envious when they saw that the Long family started eating meat again today and killed a big wild boar.

The Long family was not stingy today and gave a few pieces of pork to the nearby clans.

Among them, there were naturally members of the Huang family. Long Tianyao personally delivered a few pieces of pork cut into square pieces to the Huang family.

"Chief Huang, you and the Huang clan members can try this wild boar meat. There is not much meat, so please don't be disgusted!" Long Tianyao handed the wild boar meat tied with a straw rope to Chief Huang and said.

"Tianyao! Thank you so much for still remembering our Huang family. Your Ah Xu is really capable. She has met such an amazing classmate! Your family is blessed!" Patriarch Huang took the wild boar meat and said to Long Tianyao with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment, Patriarch Huang!"

Long Tianyao had a polite conversation with Patriarch Huang, then said goodbye and left.

Huang Shudie curled her lips in disdain: "Humph! If Ah Xu wasn't the only child in the village who went to college, how could Long Tianyao come to our house to show off?"

Ever since meeting Fu Hongzhou, Huang Shudie's thoughts about Long Xu disappeared unconsciously.

In her opinion, no matter how powerful Long Xu was, he was just a poor child in the village, and his status and position were not as good as her own. It was really cheap of her to have liked him before.

Now, in her opinion, if she had to like someone, she would like a man like Fu Hongzhou. Even if she couldn't like him, any one of these people in her family would be better than Long Xu, right?

Long Tianyao's act of sending pork to his own family was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Huang family. After all, there were seven or eight foreign guests living in their west wing.

In the village, in addition to the novelty and great joy of the Long clan members eating meat every day, Huang Shudie went into the mountains and brought back a group of lost strangers with strange looks, which naturally attracted attention and was talked about by people.

"Shudie! Who are those people in your family?"

"Yeah! Shudie, how come I've never seen it before?"

"Shudie, are you going to exchange rice again? Did the people in your family also give your family a lot of benefits like the guests of the Long family?"

"Yes! Shudie, it must be, right? Otherwise, how could your father, who is such a smart man, raise them so wholeheartedly?"

"Shudie! Don't hide the benefits your family has gained, enjoy them yourself! Look at Ah Xu's family, they share them all with everyone!"

Huang Shudie was carrying the rice she had just exchanged, which was already heavy, and her shoulders were aching from the weight of the basket.

Now she was stopped by the people in the village, who kept shouting "Shudie" left and right. Seeing them opening and closing their mouths and talking about something, Huang Shudie felt extremely annoyed.

"Haha! Our family is not as blessed as the Long family!" Huang Shudie sneered, said something in a sarcastic tone and fled.

"Hey! Do you believe it? I don't believe it anyway!"

"I don't believe it either! Patriarch Huang is such a smart man, how could he support seven or eight people for nothing?"

"That's right, I'm afraid that group of people will give the Huang family more benefits!"

"I think so too! Patriarch Huang is too stingy. Even if he doesn't want to give us a share, why don't the Huang clan members do anything?"

"That's right, look at the Long family..."

People were talking about it in a flurry.

After that day, rumors inexplicably spread in the village that the Huang clan leader's family had received many benefits from their guests, and they kept them hidden, not wanting to share them with outsiders, and even with the Huang clan members themselves.

That day, Chief Huang left home and went to the market to exchange the sugarcane for rice.

Along the way, everyone who saw him looked at him with puzzled eyes, and some even pointed and talked at him.

Patriarch Huang didn't understand what was going on and looked at those people in confusion.

"Chief Zhang! Are you going to the market?" Chief Huang greeted Chief Zhang with a smile when he saw him.

"Hey! It's Chief Huang! Are you out of rice again? Do you guys go out to trade for rice almost every day? Can you still afford it?"

"What?" Patriarch Huang was confused and didn't react for a moment.

"Chief Huang, don't eat all the food alone! We are such good brothers! Don't forget to give your brothers a share!" Chief Zhang said with a meaningful smile.

"Chief Zhang, what are you saying? Why don't I understand?" Chief Huang asked Chief Zhang, still looking at him in confusion.

In the eyes of Patriarch Zhang, Patriarch Huang was just pretending to be stupid and obviously didn't want to share the glory of their Huang family with the Zhang family!

There are only a few families in the village, and each of them has relatives and friends. The Huang and Zhang families are the ones that interact frequently and are relatively close.

Today, in the eyes of Patriarch Zhang, Patriarch Huang's pretending to be stupid and ignorant directly widened the distance between him and Patriarch Huang.

Seeing that Patriarch Huang refused to bring up the issue, Patriarch Zhang simply gave up. Since Patriarch Huang wanted the Huang family to stand out during the Dragon God Festival, there was no need for him to keep pestering him.

Clan leader Zhang looked at Clan leader Huang coldly, sneered, and walked away quickly with the backpack on his back, no longer traveling with Clan leader Huang.

Patriarch Huang stared at Patriarch Zhang's words and actions in amazement. Why did he feel it was weird?

It's not just Chief Zhang who is like this. Today, Chief Huang also received a lot of sarcastic remarks and inexplicable looks while walking around the market. This made him feel depressed and irritated, but he couldn't vent his anger.

In the past, whenever Chief Huang went to exchange rice, even if the line was very long, someone would enthusiastically make room for him, allowing him to go to the front so that he could exchange for refined rice and fine grains. Therefore, every time Chief Huang went to exchange rice, he was neither hurried nor anxious.
