Chapter 181 A natural match
After chatting for a while, Xia Mo and Ling Chuan said goodbye. They still needed to go to Liu Zheng's house, but before leaving, they made an appointment in the afternoon to discuss other things after everyone gathered.
Liu Yingying and Yu Ge'er had no objection to this. They would just follow Ze Ge'er's instructions.
After leaving Liu Yingying's house, Xia Mo thought of Yu Ge'er's reaction and began to tease Ling Chuan, saying that only he dared to accept such a handsome and fierce guy.
When Ling Chuan heard this, he was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled with his cold eyes. He not only said that it was his luck, but also said that the young man had good taste. The two of them were a match made in heaven.
Xia Mo laughed and said, "Look how handsome he is."
Ling Chuan did not deny that he was in a good mood...
So the two of them talked and laughed all the way, and suddenly scared the villagers who happened to meet them.
Weren't the young couple arrested by the police last night? Why are they here? Hiss, what on earth is going on? !
It's no wonder they made a fuss. After all, for an ordinary farmer who works hard in the fields, being taken away by officials is a very terrifying thing.
Even if they survived the disaster, they would still be skinned alive. How could they be as radiant as Xia Mo and the others?
Faced with the villagers' questions, Xia Mo had nothing to hide. He took this opportunity to point out that he and Ling Chuan were slandered. Now that the girl had returned home safely, they were naturally acquitted.
At the end, Xia Mo did not forget to sing praises of County Magistrate He's wisdom and bravery. Several villagers were stunned by what they heard, and they also followed suit to praise County Magistrate He.
Xia Mo was very happy to see this, and he even smiled playfully at Ling Chuan in between breaks.
Look, isn't there a good helper delivered to your doorstep for free? He believed that it wouldn't be long before Magistrate He's wisdom would replace the gossip that had been taken away.
Thinking of this, Xia Mo felt relaxed and refreshed, and his fighting spirit was high. His steps towards Liu Zheng's house became lighter.
When they actually arrived at Liu Zheng's house, Xiao Liu was bending over, cleaning the yard.
"Good morning, sister-in-law." Xia Mo waved his hand.
Hearing the noise, Xiao Liu suddenly stopped what she was doing, looked up, and saw Xia Mo waving at her with a smile.
Ling Chuan, who was standing next to her, nodded slightly after meeting her gaze, which immediately startled Xiao Liu so much that her eyes widened and she dropped the broom in her hand.
"Oh! When did she come back?" Xiao Liu was shocked and thought to herself, is she seeing things?
"I came back last night, but it was too late, so I didn't come to tell you." Xia Mo said with a smile.
Last night? Xiao Liu narrowed her eyes, and after confirming that she was not dazzled, she turned around and shouted into the house: "Father-in-law, Ze Ge'er and Ling Chuan are back!"
After a few "thumps, thumps" sounds, within a few seconds, Liu Zheng and his wife came out holding their grandson.
"Good morning, village chief grandpa and grandma." Xia Mo called out to them with a smile, and Ling Chuan also greeted them simply.
Seeing that the two of them looked normal, Mr. and Mrs. Liu Zheng's solemn brows suddenly relaxed and they revealed a kind smile.
Liu Zheng stepped forward, staring at them with cloudy eyes: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."
"You see, I told you that they are lucky people and nothing will happen to them." said Liu Zheng's wife.
"Yes, yes, madam is right." Liu Zheng nodded, without revealing who had been sighing all night and saying that they had a miserable life.
Xia Mo couldn't help laughing when he saw this. He looked at the two old men for a moment, secretly saying "That's great", and then said, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Liu Zheng shook his head and let Xiao Liu, who had put away the broom, take his grandson away. "But suddenly an official came into the village and said he wanted you. It really scared everyone. What's going on?"
"Yes, since you are back, where is the person who brought the officers to arrest you?" Liu Zheng's wife also frowned and asked.
"He gave false testimony to slander me and Ze'er, and was arrested after the matter was investigated." Ling Chuan replied.
Xiao Liu, who was listening in, said that he deserved it and that harming others would end up harming himself. Xia Mo nodded in agreement.
However, he knew in his heart that if they were really just weaklings, the other party would probably succeed.
Xia Mo suppressed the sigh in his heart and directly stated his purpose: "Grandpa Village Chief, we are here not only to inform you that we are safe, but also to discuss something with you."
"Oh?" Liu Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly. After looking at his wife, neither of them could guess what he was going to say, so he said, "Since you have something to discuss, why don't you go inside and sit down first?"
Xia Mo and Ling Chuan naturally had no objection, so they followed them in and sat down.
Liu Zheng's wife couldn't help but think of the fact that they were taken away last night, and a trace of worry suddenly rose in her eyes, "Could it be that the matter has not been completely resolved?"
When Liu Zheng and Xiao Liu heard this, their expressions became solemn as they looked at the young couple.
Seeing that they were distracted, Xia Mo quickly explained: "No, grandma, the matter has been solved, and the officials will not come to me and Brother Ling again. We have something else to talk about."
"That's good." Liu Zheng's wife patted her chest and laughed again: "Then what are you talking about?"
"That's good, Village Chief. Do you still remember the snacks I brought you before?" Xia Mo said, turning his eyes to Liu Zheng.
However, before Liu Zheng could speak, Xiao Liu spoke first, "I remember, I remember! It was that very fragrant and sweet candy. It was delicious. Now when I think about it, I still crave it."
"Oh! It's this." After Xiao Liu mentioned it, Liu Zheng and his wife remembered it instantly. At that time, they all praised Ze Ge'er for his dexterity and said that Lingchuan had picked up a gold nugget.
Xia Mo curled his lips and smiled: "Yes, that's it."
Ling Chuan did not wait for Liu Zheng and the others to ask, and continued the young man's words: "Actually, Ze'er and I have been doing the maltose business recently, and now we just received a new order, so I came here to ask, Village Chief, do you want to participate?"
"Doing business? Taking part in it?!" Liu Zheng and the other two exclaimed.
Apparently, this was something they had never thought about.
Xia Mo looked straight at them: "Yes, we are here for this matter. Sister Yingying and I have tried it before, and the results are not bad. For example, the one I showed you last time can be sold by one pound..."
After Xia Mo uttered out the two purchase prices of malt sugar in a calm voice, Liu Zheng and the other two were stunned and shocked. They did not expect that the sugar would be so expensive.
When Xiao Liu thought about why Ze Ge'er and Ling Chuan came to their house, her heart couldn't help but tremble. "Ze Ge'er, is everything you said true? You are not trying to amuse us, are you?"
Xia Mo smiled helplessly: "Sister-in-law, how could I possibly use this kind of thing to amuse you? Even if you don't believe me, you have to believe my brother Chuan, right?"
Xiao Liu subconsciously looked at Ling Chuan, um... this guy really doesn't look like someone who would joke.
Liu Zheng was also shocked, but he also knew that they were not joking, so after calming down, he said seriously: "If you don't mind us being novices, let Aying go."
"Me?" Xiao Liu was surprised and turned to Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng: "Well, we are all old, so these skills should be left to you young people. As for the child, his grandmother and I will take good care of him. But you have to remember one thing, learn more and do more, and don't make it public."
Xiao Liu was very excited. She didn't expect that such a good pie would fall into her hands. "Father-in-law, I understand."
