Mo Zhu looked back at the old man and smiled. “Don’t worry, Village Chief. Those people won’t dare to provoke me. I’m very safe!”
The white-haired old man raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows. He continued with some worry, “Xiao Zhu, I know that you have always been independent since you were young and that your skills are not bad. However, no matter what, you are still a young lady. There are so many experts outside. How can the uncles and aunties in the village be not worried, knowing that you are wandering outside alone…”
After a pause, the old man added, “Back then, your grandmother brought the young you to the foot of the Qingyuan Village from afar. Just by listening to your grandmother’s pure Mandarin and her expensive clothes, I could tell that she was definitely not an ordinary person. Now that so many years have passed, you have grown up and become capable. The Village Chief is not stupid either. Thinking that those people were all in the village after Grandma Zhang passed away, I also understand that this matter is most likely related to you.”
“But no matter what, we all watched you grow up. Now that your grandmother is no longer around, we’re your family. These people are so ferocious and they don’t look like good people at all. Listen to the village chief and go to Auntie Chen’s house to let them take care of you for one night. When it’s dark, I’ll bring someone to chase the strangers out. You can leave tomorrow morning.”
After saying this, the village leader shook his head and sighed lightly.
Mo Zhu had been sensible since she was young. Although she did not like to play with the children in the village, everyone knew that this young lady was kind and not a bad person.
When she was a little older, she had learned how to earn money from somewhere. Not only did she teach the villagers many advanced science and technology, but she also taught everyone how to become rich.
All these years, with the help of Zhang Fen and Mo Zhu, everyone’s days had been getting better and better. Their savings had also increased. It could be said that without Zhang Fen and Mo Zhu, they would not be able to be self-sufficient now.
Ever since Qingyuan Village became better and better, the surrounding villages also started to fight to imitate it. Originally, the girls in Qingyuan Village had always been looked down on by the other small villages. Over the years, the business in the village had gotten better in all aspects, and there were more and more people who came to propose marriage to the girls in the village.
The villagers were sincerely grateful to Zhang Fen and Mo Zhu. Although the two of them were outsiders, in the eyes of the villagers, they had long treated Zhang Fen as their elder and Mo Zhu as their own child.
Over the past two days, when he saw the constant stream of strangers entering the village, the village chief had already sensed that something was wrong. Today, when he saw Mo Zhu return, he was afraid that something would happen to the girl. He hurriedly shouted for all the villagers who had not left work to come and help. Mo Zhu had done them a great favor, and they could not leave the girl alone and let her be bullied by others.
Now that Mo Zhu saw how persistent the village chief was, she didn’t know how to reject him. Huo Xuan understood the girl’s dilemma. He gently walked behind Mo Zhu and said to the village chief, “Village Chief, you and the uncles and aunties in the village don’t have to worry too much about Mo Zhu. I will protect her well. I won’t let her be hurt.”
The old man frowned and looked up at Huo Xuan, who had suddenly appeared behind Mo Zhu. He asked curiously, “Who are you?”
Huo Xuan raised his head politely and replied with a smile, “I’m Huo Xuan, Mo Zhu’s fiancé.”
After hearing Huo Xuan’s polite self-introduction, Auntie Chen lowered her head slightly and started to think. Huo Xuan, Huo Xuan, why did this name sound so familiar to her?
A few seconds later, a memory flashed across the woman’s mind. She has recalled it now. Wasn’t this the person that the bad woman had asked Mo Zhu to marry when she wanted to take Mo Zhu away?
The woman immediately pinched her waist and said with a displeased expression, “So it’s you. Back then, Xiao Zhu’s mother had hooked up with a rich family and didn’t want her, so she left her here. Later, in order to please you and your family, she remembered this daughter of hers, brought her away forcefully and forced her to marry into your family.. After such a thing happened, you still have the face to promise us that you will protect Xiao Zhu well. Do you think we are all idiots?”
