Yuan Shanchuan’s words caused everyone to exclaim.
This, this was confirmed just like that? Did Yuan Shanchuan go to the office for work?
Village Chief Chen was so excited that his face turned slightly red. “Alright,
Shanchuan, you are the pride of our Daxu Village.”
“Then he is still the son-in-law of our Shangshi Village.” Someone from Shangshi Village could not help but speak.
As soon as he said this, someone could not help but laugh.
However, the Yuan Family members standing outside the central room were all stunned. At this moment, they were extremely regretful. This was a government office. How proud was it to have such a backer in the family?
However, they pushed him out forcefully. What should they do?
The second and third sons of the Yuan family couldn’t help but look at Boss Yuan with blame. It was all his fault for urging his parents to break off the marriage. Now, there was nothing left.
Even if it was just a day later, it would be fine.
Beside them, the villagers of Daxu Village covered their mouths and gloated as they watched them whisper. The Yuan family’s faces turned red, and they were so embarra.s.sed that they wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.
But even so, they were reluctant to leave. They even hoped that Yuan Shanchuan would be able to see them and remember their families.
Of course, they also had the idea that after the two officers left, they could go up and talk to him. After all, Fourth Brother didn’t want to break off his relationship at the beginning. It was better to have parents and brothers than to be alone. They could still reconcile.
Unfortunately, Yuan Shan Chuan was focusing all his energy on Hu Li and the others.
He was happy and could not help but say, “It’s too hard for you to come here
on a rainy day. Stay for lunch. I’ll ask my wife to cook a few more dishes and leave when the rain subsides in the afternoon.’
Hu Li furrowed his brows, feeling a little troubled.
Shu Yu, who had been standing at the back, said, “Brother Hu, I know that under Lord Xiangs management, you don’t take advantage of the commoners. You definitely won’t be willing to stay for dinner. However, my fourth uncle is now a Dou level and is also working in the county government. He is your colleague. There’s a happy occasion at your colleague’s house. Inviting your family for a meal isn’t considered taking advantage of you, right?”
Hu Li’s eyes lit up. Right, they were colleagues now.
Hence, he exchanged a glance with the other officer and nodded very readily.
“Thank you, sister-in-law.”
Lu Sixing quickly waved her hand. “It’s no trouble at all. You guys stay here and talk. I’ll go get busy now.”
After she finished speaking, she hurried out of the central room. Then, she walked up to Madam Li and said, “Sister-in-law, I might have to trouble you with this. I just moved here, so I don’t have much food…”
Madam Li waved her hand. “Tsk, what are you worried about? You don’t have it here, but I don’t.” Today was a joyous occasion, so he had to tidy it up properly so that the two guards could eat happily. I’ll go home and get the vegetables now, but… I don’t have fresh meat at home. I have to go to town to buy this.”
Madam Liang looked at the speed at which her sister-in-law changed her expression and was very disdainful.
Previously, she looked like she was being taken advantage of by her sister-in-law. Now that she saw that her son-in-law had a proper job, she immediately fawned over her. How shameless.
Madam Liang, who was feeling indignant, turned to face Lu Sixing with a flattering expression. “Sixing, don’t worry. 1 1 m still here. I’ll go to town to buy meat now.”
Madam Li waved her hand. “You don’t have to go. It’s still raining. Let Daniu go and drive the mule carriage. He’ll be back soon..”
