Seeing Chu Yanhong's indignant look, Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"It's okay, I'll take care of it."
Hearing Xiao Ran's words, Chu Yanhong opened her mouth but said nothing more.
Saying this, for several days, Xiao Ran and others only focused on eating, drinking and having fun, and no news came out.
The village chief couldn't sit still, and finally came to visit again on the fifth day.
Standing outside the yard, the village chief's face turned ugly when he heard people talking and laughing inside.
"Uncle, the village chief is here." Laifu said to Xiao Ran who was cooking.
"Let him in!"
Xiao Ran nodded and his men kept moving.
Laifu took people to the yard, but did not see Xiao Ran, and was a little unhappy.
After waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, I finally saw Xiao Ran coming out of the kitchen, and I felt a little disdainful. Xiao Ran, a married woman, actually had to cook. She thought she was so awesome, but now it's nothing more than that.
"Cooking?" the village chief said with a mocking tone.
"Yes, otherwise they won't have anything to eat?" Xiao Ran didn't care. For him, cooking was not a shameful thing.
"Is there something wrong with the village chief?"
Thinking of his purpose this time, the village chief calmed down a little and put on a flattering expression: "I wonder how you have considered it?"
As soon as he said this, Xiao Ran pretended to be confused: "What are you considering?"
"Didn't the village chief tell me to give me an answer? It's been five days and the village chief hasn't come to the door again. I thought the matter was over."
Upon hearing this, the village chief immediately became anxious: "How is that possible?"
Didn't Li Hua speak for them? The village chief was suddenly a little suspicious, and now Xiao Ran clearly looked ignorant.
"It's been five days and I haven't received a letter from the village chief. Naturally, I can only treat the previous negotiations as invalid!" Xiao Ran shrugged and sat down in the yard.
The village chief was left standing aside, feeling a little embarrassed without Xiao Ran's permission.
"What are you talking about? Didn't Li Hua come to you?" the village chief asked tentatively.
Xiao Ran smiled: "Looking for me? Isn't this something decided by the village chief? Why is he looking for me?"
As soon as these words came out, the village chief's face turned pale, thinking that Li Hua didn't take their words to heart at all. The next second, his face changed instantly.
"Village Chief! Our Chu family doesn't have to do this. It was originally meant to give Taohua Village a chance. If you are not sincere, then there is no need for us to cooperate!"
Xiao Ran stared at the village chief, making him feel a little embarrassed.
"No..." The village chief became a little anxious: "What you mean by this is that you won't buy silk anymore in the future?"
Xiao Ran said nothing, and the village chief's heart sank to the bottom. Something suddenly occurred to me, but I thought it was impossible. Li Hua was still in the village, so they couldn't just leave it alone! Xiao Ran must be scaring himself, the village chief comforted himself.
"Li Hua is alone and helpless. I plan to take them directly to the Chu family to take care of them in the future, so..."
When Xiao Ran said this, the village chief's face turned pale and then darkened.
Li Tieniu is gone. If Li Hua also leaves, how will they negotiate with the Chu family in the future? They originally planned to let them increase the price, but Xiao Ran directly stopped the acquisition. They were not allowed to follow the northwest wind?
"You are wrong. Li Hua is a villager who was born and raised here. He will definitely not be willing to leave Taohua Village. Besides, his ancestors have been here for a long time. It is not a good idea to leave his hometown."
The village chief observed Xiao Ran's face as he spoke, but couldn't see anything wrong.
"It's okay. I'll give him some more money in the future and let him come back to see me when he's fine."
Seeing that Xiao Ran was unable to make progress, the village chief, who was planning to threaten Xiao Ran this time, had no idea for a moment.
"No, Peach Blossom Village is counting on this silk to make a living, so we can't just stop buying it casually."
Until now, the village chief even spoke cautiously with a pleading tone.
"Oh? Without the Chu family, the village chief can also find someone else?" Xiao Ran smiled and said nothing.
The village chief looked around and saw that the old man was not there either. Xiao Ran's attitude could not be justified at all.
"Isn't it because we didn't agree to your purchase of peach blossoms that you deliberately made things difficult for us? It's indeed our fault, but there's no need to be so decisive, right?" The village chief struggled.
"Oh? What the village chief said is wrong. I will also discuss the peach blossom matter with you. If you don't agree, you can refuse! There is no need to embarrass a child!"
Hearing Xiao Ran's words, the village chief's face turned green and red.
"I...we just asked Li Hua to intercede. When did we get into trouble? This kid talks nonsense."
The village chief still looked confident and did not feel that what he did was wrong at all.
"If the village chief has this attitude, I don't think there is much to say." Xiao Ran stood up and said, "Laifu! See off the guests!"
Laifu, who had been squatting aside for a long time, immediately jumped out: "Here he comes!"
It doesn’t matter if the village chief leaves immediately, or if he doesn’t leave.
After a long time, he managed to squeeze out a smile: "I'll come back tomorrow."
After saying that, he could only leave in Xiao Ran's eyes.
"Uncle, aren't you a little too crazy?"
If the Taohua incident fails, even the purchase of silk has been stopped. If the villagers of Taohua Village lose their minds, they will not be able to leave so easily.
"Don't ask so many questions!" Xiao Ran glanced at Laifu.
Of course he has his own plans.
When the old man and Chu Yanhong came out to eat, there was already a quarrel outside.
When they heard that the village chief was looking for Xiao Ran, everyone couldn't sit still.
Everyone gathered around the village chief and wanted to ask for the result, but the village chief hesitated and everyone realized that something was wrong.
They all panicked when they learned that Xiao Ran might stop the acquisition. They had been worried about Li Tieniu's death, but now that Xiao Ran had said it, they seemed to have no choice but to accept it.
Originally, I thought that without Li Tieniu, now Li Hua appeared and saved Xiao Ran's life, so Taohua Village could be saved.
But Xiao Ran actually wanted to take Li Hua away, and they felt unsure.
A group of people looked at each other in confusion, and many people had their thoughts moved.
In the evening, Li Hua took care of Li Tieniu after dinner. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Li Hua immediately became vigilant. They should not let them know about Li Tieniu.
But the knocking on the door kept coming, so Li Hua could only lock Li Tieniu's room, told his father not to talk, and then came to the door.
Opening the door, I saw two villagers standing at the door.
"Why are you here?" Li Hua held the door with his hand and did not dare to open it.
"Let us go in first, go in and talk." The two looked around warily and stepped forward.
Seeing this, Li Hua had no choice but to open the door, but he could only let them stay in the yard.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me."
