Chapter 237: Chapter 237: Secretary Yao Takes Charge Chapter 237: Chapter 237: Secretary Yao Takes Charge âYong Cong Brother, thatâs all yours then,â Chiang Xiao thought it over and decided to follow his advice.
Getting along well with these people in the village was always a good thing.
Indeed, seeing her agree so swiftly and decisively, the frown on Secretary Yaoâs face that he wasnât even aware of carrying eased slightly, and Yao Cong showed her a smile.
Even, he extended his hand and patted Chiang Xiao on the head, saying, âDonât worry, leave it to me.â
Zhao Xin looked on from the side and suddenly felt that this rather handsome youth was quite nice to Chiang Xiao.
Turning around, Yao Congâs expression changed completely when facing Wan Niu and the others.
He shouted to Cong Weimin and the few young militiamen, âGuys, take them away!â
Cong Weimin and the others immediately kicked towards Wan Niu and his gang, âDo you want to walk out on your own or should we escort you?â
âStop giving me that damn sleazy smile!â
âGet moving!â
As soon as Wan Niu and his group encountered militiamen tougher than them, they immediately lost their nerve, helped up their fallen comrades by the creek, and were embarrassingly escorted away by the militia.
Secretary Yao looked at Chiang Xiao and the others, saying, âUncle Songhai, Chiang Xiao, take your aunt to the hospital for a checkup. Donât worry, Iâll make sure that Wan Niu and his gang cough up the medical expenses one way or another!â
When Chiang Xiao heard this, she suddenly realized and felt that Yao Congâs gaze just now probably wasnât that simple.
She knew that the militiamen were actually quite ruthless.
If Yao Cong really intended to help her, then Wan Niu and the others would definitely have a rough time in his hands.
She decided to come back tomorrow to ask Yao Cong about it.
âThank you, Secretary Uncle. You go ahead and return. We all have to make a trip to the town,â Chiang Xiao said to him with a grateful smile.
Secretary Yao nodded, took a couple of steps, then turned back, âChiang Xiao, rest assured, as long as someone dares to go up Wangu Mountain, whatever game they hunt or wild vegetables they dig up, those belong to them. Secretary Uncle gives you his word on this. If anyone tries to make a fuss about it, tell them to come to me.â
After saying that, he left.
Yao Cong and the youngsters needed his attention to make sure they didnât really harm anyone.
Chiang Xiao turned and went towards Ge Liutao, who had been helped up by Xu Linjiang and Ge Dejun, relieved to see that her complexion had much improved.
The Ganoderma water was incredibly effective.
Still, she decided to take both her grandparents to the hospital in town to stay for a couple of days for observation.
Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao listened in silence as she made the arrangements.
Luckily, the oxcart, even loaded with stuff, still had room for the two of them to sit.
Ge Dejun drove the oxcart, while Xu Linjiang followed close by.
Chiang Xiao and Zhao Xin trailed behind a bit, walking along.
It was getting dark, and they were not in the mood to talk much, plus, seeing Chiang Xiao with a stern face, no one else dared to start a conversation.
Once they reached town, they first sent Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao to the hospital. Zhao Xin ran about taking care of the admission procedure, while Ge Dejun and Xu Linjiang watched the oxcart outside.
After settling the two, Chiang Xiao came out. Zhao Xin offered to stay in the hospital to accompany the elderly couple, fearing she would worry.
Right now, Chiang Xiao could not bother with pleasantries.
âLittle, this is all your great-uncleâs fault. If it wasnât for you trying to support your great-uncle, none of this would have happened today. From now on, your auntâs husband and I will no longer go to Bai Gu MountainâŠâ After holding back for a long time, Ge Dejun still couldnât help but say those words.
Chiang Xiao interrupted him, âGreat-uncle, this has nothing to do with you. Even if it was our family that hunted the wild boar today, those people would still have found an excuse to rob us. Didnât you hear what Secretary Uncle said? From now on, no one has a say over us going up the mountain.â
