399 The Two New Guests

Although these relatives were criticizing Cao Xing verbally, their bodies were still very honest. Since Chu Zhe had spoken, they had a reason to leave this place openly.

In an instant, the house’s entrance became much emptier, and only Chu Ning’s family was left.

“Gosh, is this Cao Xing so powerful? It seems that Dad’s really brave to actually dare punch him in public earlier,” Chu Huan rued.

This was the first time he had seen his father so livid.

At the same time, Chu Zhe’s phone rang. After chatting for a while, Chu Zhe hung up the phone and walked towards his father with a smile.

The first family at the foot of Laoshan Village welcomed two young guests that day. After they asked for the location of Cao Xing’s home, they waved goodbye with a smile.

“Is there a mistake?” An old man was sitting on the threshold, holding a pipe in his hand and smoking.

“What mistake?” The old man’s wife walked out of the house and asked doubtfully.

“The two young men who came earlier were asking about the village chief’s house. No outsider comes to our village all year round. I think they should be going to Old Chu’s house.” The old man voiced his doubts.

“You’re an old man, don’t meddle in other people’s affairs.” The old woman rolled her eyes at the old man and then said, “I heard that Old Chu’s second son beat up the village chief. I wonder if Old Chu’s funeral can still be carried out smoothly.”

“Sigh, I’ve never liked this Cao Xing,” the old man sighed and said helplessly.

“What, an old man like you still wants to fight the village chief?” the old woman asked in disdain.

“If I was twenty years younger, I might have.” The old man shook his head as he smoked.

“You wouldn’t dare to even if you were thirty years younger!” After the old woman said this, she went to the farmhouse to feed the chickens.

“Brother, I want to come back here when I’m old. The environment here is not bad. It’s clean,” Chu Se said softly.

“As long as there are people, it will not be clean,” Chu Yang replied with a smile.

The two of them chatted as they walked in the direction of Cao Xing’s house.

More than an hour later.

Chu Yang looked at the rather grand house in front of him and could not help but squint his eyes.

“This mountain road is really difficult to walk on,” Chu Se lamented.

“It’s fine as long as we find our destination,” Chu Yang replied.

There were already more than 20 people gathered in Cao Xing’s house.

Some of them were the villagers who firmly supported Cao Xing, while others had rushed over from the neighboring village after receiving the news.

“Chief, what do you think we should do to this Chu Ming?” a short and rotund villager said with a gloomy expression.

He had contributed a lot to Cao Xing becoming the village chief. Although he was short and chubby, he was aggressive. In Laoshan Village, he had once had a quarrel with someone and wanted to return home to retrieve his knife to stab them…

Now that he had seen his good brother Cao Xing being beaten up, he naturally had to stand up for him.

“Fatty Zhang, calm down. Don’t use those two knives of yours to scare people. Our main purpose is to help nephew Cao Yun get the Chu family’s girl, not to fight.” At this moment, a person with narrow eyes spoke.

His eyes were very unique, like the eyes of a snake, giving off a sinister and cunning feel.

“I think Chu Jiu’s got the point. Not only do we have to help nephew Cao Yun get that girl, but we also have to extort a large sum of money from them. But Chu Jiu, your surname is Chu too. A few hundred years ago, you and Chu Ming might have had a common ancestor.” Another person laughed as he expressed his thoughts.

“We want Chu Ming’s daughter; don’t even think about having his dead father’s funeral settled well. I want him to know the consequences of offending me!” Cao Xing said arrogantly.

To be able to act unscrupulously in Laoshan Village, he had cultivated a group of people who were loyal to him early on.

He was able to gather over 20 people within a short period. In fact, he could have gathered even more.

“I’ll follow Chief’s arrangements!”

“We have to let that Chu guy know how powerful we are!”

“Chief’s authority cannot be challenged!”

The twenty or so people surrounding Cao Xing’s house echoed.

Ordinary Laoshan villagers could not afford to offend such a force, but unfortunately, Chu Ning’s family was an exception.

The door of Cao Xing’s house was wide open. Soon, the villagers saw two young people chatting as they approached.

“Oh? Everyone’s gathered here, what are you talking about that makes everyone so lively? Can you tell us?” Chu Yang said with a smile as he walked in.
