Chapter 407 - 407 An Anxious Fatty Zhang
407 An Anxious Fatty Zhang
“What’s wrong with Uncle Zhang today? I’ve never seen him as panicked as he is today,” Cao Yun asked, puzzled.
Fatty Zhang was Cao Xing’s number one right-hand man in Laoshan Village, and he was the only one who bullied others.
“I’m dying of laughter. Didn’t you see how Fatty Zhang looked? That’s right, your thoughts are all on that beauty of the Chu family, how would you pay attention to these things?” The young man held his stomach and laughed.
“Huh?” Cao Yun looked blankly at Fatty Zhang, who was gradually running further away. For a moment, he couldn’t understand why the young man was laughing so hard.
“His hair style is really rare, and his crotch seems to be wet too.” The young man was still laughing non-stop.
“What happened?” Cao Yun frowned. He had a strong desire for Chu Ning.
“My intuition tells me that something must have happened at the Chu residence. It can’t be anything good,” the young man vowed.
“Quickly shut your filthy mouth. Uncle Zhang already told us not to go to the Chu residence,” Cao Yun suddenly spewed.
Even though he was very curious about what was happening at the Chu residence, Cao Yun did not want to go.
He could not accept failure a second time.
“If you don’t want to go, I’ll go. I’ll let you know the conclusion.” The young man slowly put away his fishing rod. He did not have the same concerns as Cao Yun.
Cao Yun kept silent, simply looking at the creek before him in a daze.
If only Chu Ning had not appeared in Laoshan Village.
If he’d never seen such a person, he wouldn’t have any thoughts that he shouldn’t have.
In just over half an hour, a group of over a hundred Laoshan villagers had gathered in front of the Chu residence.
Some of them had already come to the Chu family to pay their respects, but this time, they saw a scene that they would never forget.
Cao Xing, the village chief, led the way in kneeling in front of the Chu family’s gate. Behind him, there were also a group of Laoshan villagers and people from other villages.
These people usually didn’t have a positive image, but now, they were all kneeling on the ground in repentance. The Laoshan villagers didn’t know what had happened, and this made them feel incredulous.
After all, Cao Xing had never been like this before.
However, under his coercion, many people had knelt in front of his door and begged for his forgiveness previously.
“This… Why is Village Chief Cao kneeling in front of the Chu family’s door?”
“He can’t be sincere? But what is Village Chief Cao’s purpose in doing this?”
“Do we have to kneel down as well?”
“The Chu family’s backing is not small.”
The Laoshan villagers were discussing softly, but they did not dare to ask Cao Xing what had happened.
A few minutes later, Fatty Zhang returned to the Chu family’s gate, panting heavily. He had already completed the task that Chu Yang had given him.
To a certain extent, he had even exceeded what was requested of him.
In addition to the villagers of Laoshan Village, the village chief of the neighboring Dangshan Village had also joined the crowd and watched the bizarre confession ceremony.
As a person of the same level as Cao Xing, he was well aware of the authority the village chief held in the village.
There was only one reason for Cao Xing to kneel, and that was to pay respects to his ancestors during the Tomb Sweeping Festival.
The village chief knew Cao Xing’s character very well. After all, his daughter was about to marry Cao Xing’s son, Cao Yun.
Cao Xing was a vengeful person. How could he kneel down to an ordinary Laoshan villager?
Even though the Dangshan Village Chief had many doubts, he still chose to observe the situation first. He had a feeling that something was amiss.
At that moment, Cao Xing was kneeling before the Chu residence. He was unaware that the Dangshan Village Chief had also come.
Fatty Zhang knelt on the ground once more after completing the task assigned to him by Chu Yang.
“Big Brother, every household in Laoshan Village should have sent at least one person,” Chu Yang said to Chu Zhe with a smile.
“We can start now,” Chu Zhe simply nodded and said softly.
Chu Yang understood Chu Zhe’s intentions.
“Village Chief Cao, the people behind you are all Laoshan villagers. You should know that they are here.” Chu Yang pointed at the Laoshan villagers behind him and continued, “Change your direction and face them. Remember what you’ve done all these years.”
“Sir Chu, I…” Cao Xing licked his dry lips and wanted to say something, but he stopped himself. He could only smile bitterly.
