“So this Cao Xing only dares to show off in this Laoshan Village.” Chu Huan looked as though something had suddenly dawned on him.
“We’ll talk about it when your uncle and the others return,” Father Chu said in a low voice.
“But Cao Xing is the village chief of Laoshan Village. He was punched by Dad in front of so many people today. He definitely won’t let it go. He’ll think of ways to take revenge on us for sure.” Chu Zhang felt that, with Cao Xing’s personality, he would not be able to take this lying down.
Chu Ning also found it hard to imagine how Cao Xing had dared to speak to her like that. If it hadn’t been for her father, Chu Ning would have taught this village chief a lesson.
At first, Chu Ning did not understand what Cao Yun was thinking. After all, he had only seen her twice since the day before. Why would he fall for her out of the blue? But now, she seemed to understand.
As long as the young village chief wanted something, Cao Xing would not reject it. In their minds, women were naturally of lower status than men. However, they did not expect that the Chu family did not value men over women, and Chu Ning would not be restrained by anyone.
“If Chu Ning hadn’t come back with us, all of this wouldn’t have happened,” Chu Huan mumbled softly.
“Shut up!” Chu Jing scolded, shooting a glance at Chu Huan.
Elsewhere, Cao Xing and his son walked back without saying a word to each other.
“Dad, why don’t we just forget about it? We’re the ones in the wrong in the first place. The Chu family is still dealing with the funeral. It won’t be good if you bring people over to make a scene.” In the end, it was still Cao Yun who broke the silence and spoke first.
“So you’re saying that I was beaten up for nothing? Do I still have any dignity as the village chief?” Cao Xing snapped, laughing in anger.
“Dad, after a few days…” Before Cao Yun could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Cao Xing.
“They’ll be gone in a few days! I’ve really raised you up for nothing, you good-for-nothing, I think you’ve been bewitched by that little vixen of the Chu family!” Cao Xing’s finger was almost pointing at Cao Yun’s face as he berated him angrily. The vixen he was referring to was Chu Ning.
“Dad, she’s not a vixen!” Cao Yun retorted, which was a rare occurrence.
“Hmph, I don’t care what she is. I want the Chu family to know that, since they’re in Laoshan Village, they have to abide by the rules here. I have the final say here!” Due to his agitation, Cao Xing felt a burning pain on his cheek as he spoke loudly.
“Dad, are you okay?” Seeing this, Cao Yun wanted to help Cao Xing.
“I’m fine, I don’t need your help,” Cao Xing said unhappily.
“Kid, let me ask you again. Do you really like that girl from the Chu family?” Cao Xing suddenly looked straight into Cao Yun’s eyes and asked in a low voice.
“Dad… I’m sorry, but I really do. My mind is still filled with the image of her smiling when she served me tea last night.” Cao Yun lowered his head in shame.
“I got it.” Cao Xing nodded.
“I’ve already explained the situation. Since Chu Ming doesn’t know what’s good for him, then don’t blame me for not showing him any mercy.” Cao Xing touched the beard on his chin, as if he was thinking about something.
“Dad, what do you want to do?” Cao Yun looked at Cao Xing in bewilderment. He knew that once Cao Xing did this, it would mean that a certain family in the Laoshan Village would be in trouble.
“Come home with me.” After Cao Xing said this, he walked forward.
“Maybe there’s still hope,” Cao Yun thought to himself as he quickly followed.
Ever since Father Chu had beaten up Cao Xing in the morning, the number of people who gathered at the entrance of the Chu family’s residence to pay their respects had greatly decreased.
There were only a few people in front of the large central room.
If they had not been related to Chu Ning’s grandfather, they would have left as well.
The Chu family could afford to offend the village chief since they did not have to continue to live in Laoshan Village. However, the villagers could not afford to do so.
With Cao Xing’s vengeful personality, anyone who dared stand up against him would have to be prepared for his revenge.
Chu Zhe walked out of the central room and bowed to everyone. He then spoke with a sincere expression, “Dear relatives and elders, please go back. I don’t want you to have an unhappy relationship with the village chief because of our Chu family. The Chu family will remember your kind intentions.”
“Sigh, it’s also that Cao Yun’s fault for being a rascal.”
“Cao Xing made such a fool of himself at someone’s funeral. No one will be convinced of him in the future.”
“I wonder where Old Chu will be buried.”
