The two looked at each other and said slowly: "Li Hua, we grew up together, so we can be considered young."
"Yes, if you become rich, you can't forget us! Why don't you take us to the Chu family together?"
Taohua Village was originally in a remote location, but it was only with the care of the Chu family that things got better! When they thought about stopping the acquisition, they would have to live the hard life before, and they couldn't sit still.
"Why go to the Chu family?" Li Hua was a little confused. Xiao Ran never told him this.
Seeing Li Hua's reaction, the two just thought that Li Hua wanted to pretend not to know.
"Stop pretending, everyone in the village knows it!" One of the tall men said with a sullen face, "Li Hua, are you willing to watch us suffer?"
Li Hua was still outside the situation and could only say: "You are mistaken. Where did the news come from that I am going to the Chu family?"
"I don't even know."
The two looked at each other and frowned.
"Okay, it's getting late, and I have to keep a vigil for my father, so I won't tell you!"
After saying that, he opened the door to let the two of them out. They looked at the white cloth hanging around them and felt that the yard was a bit eerie.
"Forget it, let's come back tomorrow."
The two could only give up and turn around and leave.
Li Hua was still a little confused, but he could only wait until tomorrow to ask Xiao Ran.
As soon as the door was closed, there was a knock again. When the door was opened, it was other villagers, one after another.
Either begging Li Hua to take them with him, or begging Li Hua to intercede in front of Xiao Ran again.
It wasn't until late at night that the outside calmed down.
Somewhat unclear, could it be that Xiao Ran really wanted to take him away?
What about the father?
Thinking of this, Li Hua was a little worried.
The next day, Li Hua came outside the Chu family yard with two dark circles under his eyes. Laifu was shocked to see Li Hua like this.
"Have you been up all night?"
Li Hua shook his head: "Uncle Xiao, are you up?"
Just as Laifu was about to speak, Xiao Ran walked out of the room. Seeing Li Hua like this, he felt dumbfounded.
"Uncle, are what those villagers said true?" Li Hua stepped forward.
Xiao Ran said while drinking water: "Do you know everything?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Hua also knew that the matter was true, but his heart became entangled.
"No, my father is still in the village, how can I leave alone."
As soon as Mr. Chu came out, he saw Li Hua looking embarrassed. Xiao Ran also told them what happened yesterday. The old man stepped forward and said, "My child, don't worry."
"By the way, you don't need to come here starting tomorrow, we are going back."
"Going back?" Li Hua said a little surprised.
"Yes, we plan to go back. If we stay out for too long, there will probably be trouble in the Chu family!" Xiao Ran's face was expressionless. This time, he came out without making any news.
Logically speaking, Chu Tianshu should be able to find a way to take action, but now there is no movement at all, which is a bit strange.
Chu Yanhong started to worry last night, so she decided to go back early.
"Then..." Li Hua hesitated.
Some wanted to ask if he needed to leave with them, but thinking of Li Tieniu's current state, he didn't want to leave.
"You can stay in Peach Blossom Village, or you can leave with us!" Xiao Ran paused: "No matter what, you have to pack your things tonight. Even if you don't leave, you have to pretend."
"No matter what you choose, our Chu family will treat you and your father well." The old man smiled.
Li Hua looked at the two of them, feeling a little confused.
"What will happen to my father if I leave?"
"Of course I have a way."
Even though Xiao Ran said this, Li Hua still shook his head: "Old man, thank you for your kindness, but I still prefer to stay in Peach Blossom Village."
Seemingly not surprised, Xiao Ran nodded: "Okay, I understand."
After finishing speaking, before Li Hua could say anything more, a voice came from outside the door.
"Uncle, the village chief is here with two villagers." Laifu came from the door.
"You go back first, I will take care of this matter." Xiao Ran said to Li Hua.
The village chief came with two more prestigious old people in the village. When he saw Li Hua walking out, he wanted to ask something, but was called in by Laifu.
After Li Hua said hello, he slipped away as if he had oiled his soles.
The three of them followed Laifu into the yard and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the old man.
After all, the old man has helped Taohua Village for so many years, so he must still have some feelings, and he should be easier to talk to than Xiao Ran.
"Old man." The village chief smiled and stepped forward.
"Has the village chief made up his mind this time?" Xiao Ran answered the question proactively, not letting the village chief get too close.
"Speaking to the elders, what's the matter with you?"
The older villagers on the side spoke. Both of them were relatively respected elders in the village. The village chief then thought of bringing them over.
"Oh? It's none of my business?" Xiao Ran smiled half-heartedly.
"Xiao Ran, after all, it is the Chu family's business. Mr. Chu has always sent people to buy it. How about we talk to Mr. Chu?"
After saying that, regardless of Xiao Ran's consent, the three of them walked up to the old man.
"Old man, if we hadn't sold silk back then, your family business wouldn't have become so big all of a sudden!"
"Yes, the people in the village objected repeatedly at that time. If it weren't for the three of us to fight against everyone's objections, you wouldn't be able to receive such good silk!"
"How can you just give up on the acquisition because of a trivial matter now?"
The three of them each said one sentence, which made the old man feel a little confused and said impatiently: "I have abdicated now, and all matters will be left to Xiao Ran and Yan Hong."
"Especially what happened in Peach Blossom Village was because Li Hua saved Xiao Ran, so I will not interfere. Xiao Ran is fully responsible."
As soon as the old man said these words, the three people's faces became slightly stiff.
After saying that, before the three of them could speak again, the old man called Ah Cai to help him into the house.
"Old man!" The village chief wanted to say something else, but the old man didn't even look back.
For a moment, the three of them stood in the yard, a little at a loss.
Xiao Ran drank tea and looked at the three people.
The person who had just scolded Xiao Ran suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Does it matter to me now?"
It was the old man who had to give him face. Xiao Ran felt happy and had free time to look at the three of them.
Hearing Xiao Ran's voice, the face of the person who just spoke changed and he did not speak. The village chief quickly turned around to smooth things over: "What are you talking about?"
"Then don't you, Uncle Zhao, don't understand? We also thought that the old man made the decision. That's why we said this. Don't take it to heart." The village chief laughed along with him.
"It's just a son-in-law. Let me tell you a few words. Do you really think of yourself as a human being?" Mr. Zhao looked at Xiao Ran, still feeling uneasy.
"Ha!" Xiao Ran sneered: "Since you don't treat me as a human being, why do you come to my door?"
"Laifu! Walk slowly and don't send me away!"
Xiao Ran had to put on airs when asking for help. Xiao Ran was too lazy to coddle them. He didn't ask them to come anyway.
