Chapter 7

Village Chief Liu said with a smile, “Why don’t you, Captain Xiao, come to my house for dinner? That way we can talk slowly.”

Xiao Muting refused, “I’m not free tonight, please speak quickly if you have anything to say.”

Village Chief Liu looked around.

Said, “Captain Xiao, I know you were forced. If you want to cancel the engagement, I have a way to help you.”

“Not only can I get the betrothal gift back, but I can also prevent Su Wan from doing anything rash in the future.”

Xiao Muting’s reaction was the same as Su Wan’s when he listened to Lin Feng’s words.

With a cold look in his eyes, he asked, “What method?”

Village Chief Liu lowered his voice and said, “As long as Captain Xiao says that it was Su Wan who seduced Captain Xiao, I will come forward to help you solve this matter. Captain Xiao can rest assured.”

“I have thought about it carefully. You have made a lot of contributions to our village. To thank Captain Xiao… I can marry my daughter Liu Chunmei to Captain Xiao.”

“I don’t need Captain Xiao to give me a dowry. Just three turns and one ring will be enough to save face.”

His words sounded like he was saying that his family was at a disadvantage.

Just to help Xiao Muting.

Xiao Muting’s eyes were even colder.

His voice was filled with displeasure, “Village Chief Liu, remember this, Su Wan will be my wife in the future, so be careful with your words.”

How could he not understand that if he agreed,

It is to destroy Jiangsu and Anhui.

Su Wan has no father or mother.

Rumor has it that she has a carefree and aggressive personality.

But he didn’t think…

On the contrary, I think she is cheerful and strong.

At least what happened last night,

Not only did she not cry, but her concentration and reaction ability were stronger than that of ordinary people.

But her character needs to be examined.

Village Chief Liu looked surprised, but quickly hid it.

“I’m worried that Captain Xiao… is being used by someone…”

Xiao Muting said coldly, “Village Chief Liu, have you planned the experimental corn planting area?”

Village Chief Liu still didn’t answer the question, “Captain Xiao, actually my Chunmei… has liked Captain Xiao for a long time. This time, I will help you with your problem with Su Wan.”

“Just say that Su Wan is behind this…”

Xiao Muting’s eyes were sharp as he questioned, “I’m talking about work, don’t talk nonsense to me.”

Village Chief Liu’s heart skipped a beat.

He quickly replied, “Don’t worry, I have already arranged it, and there is no problem with the personnel allocation.”

Xiao Muting said “hmm” and quickened his pace to leave.

Village Chief Liu still didn’t give up.

Chasing him, he said, “Captain Xiao, I am actually doing this for your own good. You are with Chunmei, so it will be easy for you to return to the city early in the future.”

“Also…if someone comes to town, I can speak for you, then you can…”

Xiao Muting turned around and said, “Village Chief Liu is thoughtful. You don’t have to worry about my affairs.”

Village Chief Liu was also angry, “Captain Xiao, why are you so ungrateful? What good will it do you to marry Su Wan?”

“Not only will you have a bad reputation, but you may also have problems when you return to the city in the future.”

Xiao Muting snorted coldly, “Village Chief Liu, you’d better take care of yourself and don’t shoot yourself in the foot.”

When Village Chief Liu heard this, he felt inexplicably panicked.

But he was curious, why did Xiao Muting go in that direction?

That’s the old village, with only a few families…

Really?

Village chief Liu was shocked. Are they really going to get married?

This made him so anxious that he didn’t know what to do.

Su Feng, with a bruised nose and swollen eyes, walked towards him.

When he saw Village Chief Liu, he said, “Village Chief, I just happened to need your help.”

Village Chief Liu saw Su Feng’s appearance and asked, “Did you have a fight with someone?”

Su Feng said with a resentful look on his face, “It’s that woman Su Wan…”

……

Xiao Muting walked for a while and was stopped by Liu’s mother again.

She knew it wasn’t going to work when Village Chief Liu didn’t invite anyone to his home.

I took the initiative to catch up with him.

“Captain Xiao, wait a minute, I have something to tell you,”

Xiao Muting stopped.

He said calmly, “If it’s Su Wan’s business, I advise you to mind your own business.”

Of course, Liu’s mother would not give up and would not care about other people’s feelings.

And in a high-pitched tone,

Thinking she was doing a good deed, she warned him, “Captain Xiao, you will be unlucky if you marry Su Wan. Do you know how Su Wan’s grandmother died?”

Xiao Muting didn’t know much about Su Wan’s family.

He was testing her intentionally, so he asked, “What do you mean?”

Liu’s mother thought she had found her chance.

He explained emotionally, “Grandma Su Wan’s family used to be landlords, which is why Grandma Su Wan was criticized and eventually committed suicide…”

“Because of this incident, the eldest daughter who lived with Grandma Su Wan was also implicated.”

“Su Wan has only become a “three-no” person now. Actually, it was after Su Wan was born…”

“The Su family suffered misfortunes one after another. Grandma Su Wan committed suicide, Grandpa starved to death during the famine, and Father Su fell to his death while climbing a mountain.”

“Su Wan’s mother ran away with the savages, and later Su Wan’s great uncle also died of illness. Silly Aunt was not stupid before…”

Liu’s mother talked about Su Wan’s grandmother.

I never thought that it was her family members who reported it in the first place.

Later, her father became the village chief.

Pass it to Village Chief Liu now.

Because there are no boys in her family.

In fact, Grandma Su Wan was a landlord, and it was a matter of several generations.

It was because Grandma Su An was wearing a bracelet passed down from her family.

Then the villagers followed suit.

Liu’s mother instigated the villagers to make a collective report, which led to the arrest of Su Wan’s grandmother.

But Su Wan was still young at that time, and these things could not be stopped at all.

However, many of the words were fabricated by Liu’s mother.

She told everyone, and then it spread throughout the village.

The truth no longer matters because people have already believed the rumors.

Xiao Muting’s expression remained unchanged when he heard this.

But if there was a record at the time, it would really affect his declaration of marriage.

Liu’s mother was still complacent and said, “Captain Xiao, if you marry my daughter, not only will your work go smoothly, but it will also be easier for you to return to the city in the future.”

“Also, if you marry Su Wan… I’m afraid Captain Xiao might lose his job.”

Xiao Muting’s expression remained the same, “Thank you for your concern.”

He does not make impulsive theories.

If there was indeed a registration record at that time, he would have to face it.

At the same time, he also wants to find out the truth.

After saying that, he prepared to leave with a gloomy face.

Liu’s mother was still being clever, “Captain Xiao, go back and think carefully about it.”

There was a coldness in Xiao Muting’s eyes.

Answer: “This is my business, don’t worry about it.”

Liu’s mother didn’t understand what he meant at all.

He even said proudly, “Don’t worry, as long as Captain Xiao changes his mind, you can come to me anytime.”

Xiao Muting didn’t answer any more, turned around and left.

Liu’s mother still thought that Xiao Muting was scared.

Liu Chunmei came out from behind and asked hurriedly, “Mom, what happened?”

Liu’s mother replied, “Don’t worry, he will come to us when he figures it out.”

Liu Chunmei smiled and said, “Then I’m relieved. After I marry Captain Xiao, I’ll ask Dad to find a way to drive away Su Wan, the plague god.”

Liu’s mother smiled cunningly, “It’s only a matter of time. Let your father get her house first. The Feng Shui master said,

“The Su family’s location is a Feng Shui treasure land. As long as we live there, get married and have children, we will become rich in the future.”

After hearing this, Liu Chunmei

Already fantasizing,

A happy and prosperous life with Xiao Muting in the future…

…….

Su Wan returned home.

Now she has sorted out a lot of things.

In the past, the original owner was devoted to finding food for Lin Feng.

The house is so dirty and messy because you don’t take care of anything at home.

I remember that all the physical work was usually done by the original owner, who would give it to Sha Gu.

The original owner went out.

After coming back and cooking, he sent it to Lin Feng.

Silly girl ate some of the leftovers,

Then the silly girl can’t clean the house,

That’s why those things are not only placed everywhere, but also cannot be washed away.

Su Wan was busy for more than half an hour.

Only then wash the dishes and kitchen utensils.

Now, she has time to deal with the baskets of fish.

“Auntie, come here, I’ll teach you how to knock the stone snails.”

Sha Gu came over, tilted her head and exclaimed, “Su Wan, there are so many bugs…”

Su Wan smiled and explained, “This is not a bug, it’s something edible. Follow my lead and smash its tail with a stone. It will be delicious when I cook it later.”

Silly Girl imitated him and asked, “Is it as delicious as meat?”

Su Wan replied, “Well, I’ll kill the fish and you finish these.”

When Shagu heard that she could eat, she worked harder.

She doesn’t know how to kill fish yet, but she has seen pigs run and eaten pork.

Looking at the fish gives me a headache.

She thought it shouldn’t be difficult.

But her hands slipped several times while she was holding on.

I finally managed to grab it, but I didn’t know how to start.

Suddenly, a pleasant voice came from above her head.

“You actually… don’t know how to kill fish?”

Xiao Muting didn’t expect that she actually caught fish in the river?

This woman is really…not simple!

In the countryside, although people seldom eat chicken, duck or fish,

But as a rural person,

Seeing Su An’s actions makes people very confused!

Su Wan looked up and saw the man’s handsome features.

I’m starting to become obsessed with you again.

The silly girl said happily, “Look, uncle, there is a lot of meat to eat.”

Fu Tingzhou looked over and saw that it looked like the kind of snails that eat farmers in the fields.

But I don’t think so.

There are some weed leaves on the ground.

This woman asked him to come for dinner, and he ate this?
