This disdain toward Xu Xiaxiao was mirrored in Zhou Hengyang’s feelings toward the Zhou family.

The Zhou family must have sent Xu Xiaoxiao on this errand, knowing

Hengyang would give them some face if Xu Xiaoxiao came in their stead.

After all, Xu Xiaoxiao had been a good playmate to Hengyang and Hengshan. The two brothers teased Xu Xiaoxiao growing up, saying he looked like an irritable little lion, and in the years since, Xu Xiaoxiao remained unchanged. If anything, he had grown more irritable.

It was a pity Hengshan was no longer around…

Zhou Hengyang stared into the distance, pain flashing in his eyes.

Su Wen quickly signed the contract in the courtyard. She pressed her fingerprint and used the well water prepared in the courtyard in advance to wash the ink off her hands. Under the praise of the village chief, Li Youcai, and the village department director, she brought her sisters home.

The village chief, Li Youcai, praised her for being an upstanding individual and reported her big-hearted gesture to the officials in town as a favor to her.

Su Wen had drawn the worst possible lot, getting the barren mountains. Not only did she not complain, but she also accepted it graciously and without fuss. She did not want to be the one to open that can of worms, which would allow others to haggle for better land. In that way, Su Wen had helped uphold the previously held agreement between villages that the lot drawn by a household would be the lot they would get. One could only blame themselves if they were unlucky.

It was precisely this situation that was the cause of the current mess.

Li Youcai had been worried that the Trinity Village would cause a stir because of the division of land and become the laughingstock of the villages in the vicinity and even in town. Now, he could breathe more easily. Thankfully, Su Wen had no objections to the lot she had drawn. With her silence, all those who had gotten better lots with terraced fields close to the river would only be embarrassing themselves if they voiced their objections.

No matter how bad their plot of land was, could it be as bad as the piece of land allocated to Su Wen’s family?

Li Youcai was happy to submit Su Wen’s name for the Progressive Individual Outstanding Farmer Award.

After expressing her gratitude to Li Youcai, Su Wen brought her sisters home with a triumphant smile, however, not before looking for Zhou Hengyang. She found him leaning against a tree by the road outside of headquarters.

He was talking to someone.

One of them was Liu Chun.

Su Wen felt strange. How did Liu Chun find his way to the village?

Xu Xiaoxiao eyed Zhou Hengyang with a face that deserved a beating. Coming across like a thug, he scoffed, “Tsk, tsk… You’re all grown up! That must be why you ran away, refusing to return home, and became someone’s live-in son-in-law. Ah… You must have had it hard. But you deserve it!”

Rocking on the back of his heels, he continued, “You used to run your mouth.

“Why? Are you jealous?” Zhou Hengyang asked with a smile.

“Jealous? Me? Why should I be? I’d be crazy to be jealous of you,” Xu Xiaoxiao answered, taken aback by Zhou Hengyang’s response. “Is being a live-in son-in-law something to be proud of? You may not find anything wrong with it, but what would the Zhou family say?”

“Oh!” Zhou Hengyang exclaimed as if the penny had dropped only then.

“Oh? Oh?! Is that all you have to say for yourself?” Xu Xiaoxiao felt as if he had punched cotton. He fisted ZHou Hengyang’s clothes, dragging him towards the car. “You’re coming back with me. I was sent to bring you home.”

Liu Chun looked at Zhou Hengyang’s eyes and knew what was coming. Immediately, he intervened, stepping in between the two.

“I see. When did you learn to side with outsiders, Liu Chun?”

“N-no. You’ve got it all wrong.” Liu Chun hastily brushed the accusation aside. “I just don’t think it’s a good idea for family members to fight in public. Oh, there she is! Sister-in-law, we are here.”

Su Wen’s timely appearance saved the terrified Liu Chun, and he bounded to her with renewed enthusiasm.

Little did he know how his actions drew the ire of someone behind..
