Zhu Yuegui and other people who had a good relationship with the Zhang Dachuan family could only smile bitterly as they watched the matter settle.
Zhang Dachuan seemed not to notice the disappointed looks of everyone, and said to Ma Hongdou and his son:
"Who is the fool? Let's ride on the donkey and look at the ledger - we'll see."
"But if you dare to speak dirty words to my sister-in-law from now on, don't blame my fists for not having eyes."
Although it was a threat, under the circumstances, more people believed that it was Zhang Dachuan's words that he insisted on after becoming angry.
Ma Hongdou smiled more and more arrogantly, shaking his head while laughing:
"Zhang Dachuan, don't deceive yourself. Without that Taoyuan, what are you?"
"Just a stupid fool."
Now that he has Taoyuan in hand, there is no need to pretend anymore.
Ma Tengyuan even made a face at Zhang Dachuan, laughed and fought with Ma Hong before leaving.
As the two left, the farce was declared over, and the villagers who had finished watching the excitement also sighed and dispersed.
They understood that Zhang Dachuan was plotted by the village chief again, but they did not dare to say anything in front of the village chief.
After everyone left, Zhang Dachuan closed the door and walked back to the room with Jiang Wantong.
After such a fuss, the atmosphere that had been cultivated so easily could no longer be found. Jiang Wantong silently sat down by the bed and sighed slightly.
Although Zhang Dachuan stood up for her and even used the peach garden to pay off the debt, Jiang Wantong was very touched, but when she thought about the meaning behind the peach garden and the huge income, she became extremely worried.
Jiang Wantong sighed softly and asked Zhang Dachuan:
"Dachuan, is there really no other way? Do we have to fight Ma Hong and them to exchange land?"
Zhang Dachuan shook his head and said with a smile:
"Of course there are ways, but actually, this is the best result right now."
"The orchard left by grandma is much bigger than the peach orchard. I was worried about how to get it back, but I didn't expect Ma Hongdou to come to the door by himself, so I just went along with the flow and helped him."
Before her death, Grandma Zhang Dachuan was a highly respected person in Xiushan Village. The orchard left by her family was five times the size of the peach orchard on the hilltop today.
Under normal circumstances, Zhang Dachuan would definitely bleed a lot if he wanted to get back the land that belonged to him. However, with Ma Hongdou making such a fuss tonight, Zhang Dachuan took the land back without much effort.
Jiang Wantong still couldn't let go and said worriedly:
"But no matter what, you can't trade that peach orchard with them. Without that peach orchard, where can you find Xiushan peaches that cost fifty yuan a pound?"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Dachuan smiled mysteriously after hearing this:
"Treasure land? It depends on whose hands it is."
"In my hands, that peach garden is a treasure, but in the hands of Ma Hongdou and his son, it is worthless."
Jiang Wantong was stunned, looked at Zhang Dachuan doubtfully and said:
"Dachuan, what do you mean by this?"
Zhang Dachuan gave it up and said with a smile:
"Anyway, sister-in-law, just wait and see the good show. I guarantee that this will be an unforgettable lesson for Ma Hongdou."
Seeing how relaxed he said it, Jiang Wantong had no choice but to put away the regrets in her heart, trust Zhang Dachuan for the time being, and wait and see how things develop.
Seeing Jiang Wantong's mood recovery, Zhang Dachuan took the opportunity and said again:
"Besides, sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about Feng Cuifen coming back to trouble you anymore."
"She dumped all Zhang Xutao's debts on you, and you will have nothing to do with their family from now on."
For Jiang Wantong, this really solved a problem.
Originally, she was still a married woman, living with Zhang Dachuan, and she was always worried about people in the village gossiping. Now that she has left home, she no longer has such worries.
Now she can be with whomever she wants to be with! No one can say anything about her Jiang Wantong!
Thinking of this, Jiang Wantong's heart was filled with emotion.
Zhang Dachuan did this all for her.
At this time, Zhang Dachuan hesitated for a moment and continued:
"You don't have to think too much about having a baby."
Hearing what he said, Jiang Wantong suddenly blushed, and she secretly glanced at Zhang Dachuan.
Then, with a look of determination in his eyes, he raised his head and mustered up the courage to say:
"Okawa, what if I want to have a child?"
Zhang Dachuan was caught off guard with a look of astonishment, and then his heartbeat accelerated instantly, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak:
"What you said is true..."
Jiang Wantong was so flustered at the moment that her face was red to her neck. She didn't expect that she would say such words under the impulse just now.
In shame, Jiang Wantong hurriedly lowered her head and said:
"It's getting late. Go to bed and rest quickly. There are still many things to do tomorrow."
Zhang Dachuan immediately couldn't laugh or cry, but he also knew that Jiang Wantong was shy, so he didn't ask further, nodded and planned to go back to his room.
Unexpectedly, after taking only two steps, Jiang Wantong grabbed her sleeve.
Jiang Wantong lowered her head and blushed, and whispered in a voice like a gnat:
"Dachuan, you can sleep in this room from now on."
"It's clean here, and there are two beds, so we can live in it."
The room where Jiang Wantong lived had two beds, one near the door and one in the back room near the kitchen. Although they were separated by a doorway, they were all in the same room.
But this doorway is actually in name only. Zhang Dachuan can enter it at any time if he is willing.
Zhang Dachuan was ecstatic, turned around and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you really want me to sleep here?"
Behind him, in the back room on the other side of the doorway, it was pitch dark.
Zhang Dachuan chuckled, silently murmuring that good things come in hard times, lay down on the bed happily, and fell asleep.
…
At the same time, under the moonlight, on the mountain road outside Xiushan Village, two figures were rushing to the peach orchard of Zhang Dachuan's home.
It was the village chief Ma Hongdou and his son.
After the father and son got Zhang Dachuan's peach orchard, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep.
When they thought about having such a treasure land right away, they couldn't wait to go and take a look overnight.
Soon, the two came to the peach orchard on the mountainside.
The vegetation here was originally sparse and the rocks were exposed, but when we arrived at Taoyuan, everything became lush and lush. Even under the moonlight at night, you can see that the place is full of vitality.
This made the father and son amazed.
Ma Tengyuan said to Ma Hongdou with shining eyes:
"Dad, I remember when I came here half a month ago, it was very desolate. All the peach trees in the field were dead and almost dead. It was impossible for them to bear fruit."
"How come it's just like this after I haven't seen him for a while? This is amazing!"
Ma Hongdou snorted coldly after hearing this:
"Isn't it amazing that I can trick Zhang Dachuan into it with all my efforts? Don't forget that this place cost us 80,000 yuan!"
"Let's go in and see Xiantao!"
The father and son walked into Taoyuan excitedly.
