Chapter 282: Chapter 282 Tyrant Meng Comes Chapter 282: Chapter 282 Tyrant Meng Comes Clearly, he knew that Chiang Baohe must have been seriously injured last night, and the reason for the injury was rather strange; otherwise, the Old Chiang Family wouldnât have all gone into town.
Yet he didnât have the slightest intention to show concern or ask about it.
Even, he secretly hoped they wouldnât come back just yet, wait until the courtyard wall was finished, to avoid another commotion.
If Ho Laidi were to come back at this moment, there really could be a big scene. The wall had just been erected, the cement hadnât yet dried, and he firmly believed that Ho Laidi was completely capable of taking a hoe to tear the wall down.
Then their efforts would have been in vain.
Moreover, it would cause complete chaos, with bricks falling downâwho knew if someone might get hit?
The thought alone sent a shiver down Chiang Songhaiâs spine.
Therefore, subconsciously, he hoped they would come back tomorrow. The wall would have set overnight and any commotion they might want to cause would be futile.
âOld bro, you shouldâve done this earlier,â said Shi Zhuang honestly to Chiang Songhai during a break to catch their breath.
Uncle Yang also nodded, âThatâs right, itâs uncomfortable to handle things poorly. Far stinks and near fragrances, maybe youâre just too close to each other.â
Chiang Xiao heard these words and could only offer a bitter smile.
This wasnât an issue of distance, but that they had the misfortune of dealing with an extraordinary and bizarre family like the Old Chiang Family.
So even though she planned to live in the village only a few more months at most, she had decided to build the courtyard wallâit was a knot in her heart.
As twilight darkened the sky, their work was nearing its end.
And the food in the kitchen was ready.
This time, Chiang Xiao had cooked a huge pot of white rice, intending to give them all a solid meal.
But she just felt that the meat and vegetables were too scant, for all these rugged men who had been hard at work all afternoon, two pounds of wild boar meat probably wouldnât be enough.
She stood up, walked out, and wanted to see how the courtyard wall was looking; thatâs when she noticed a man riding a bicycle toward her.
The man had long arms and legs, even his posture riding the bike was somehow strikingly attractive.
Behind him, a few teenage girls watched from a distance, and near Ding Daqiangâs home, Niu Guiying stood with several daughters, craning their necks to look this way.
Chiang Xiaoâs heart skipped a beat.
What did this tyrant want?
Zhao Xinâs visit had already brought her such trouble, now that this guy had arrived, could he possibly stir up even bigger issues?
Didnât the scene of his arrival already draw so much attention?
This man was truly a luminary, cycling through the dusty and impoverished village streets, he managed to turn the scene into something out of a movie, where all the light gathered on him, making one overlook everything else.
Meng Xinian had been given directions by Zhao Xin, and Zhao Xin had also told him, âCaptain, after you enter the village, youâll see a small grocery store; you wonât need to ask for directions there. Also, the old man at that grocery store is no good, heâs even reading some shameless books. I didnât have time to tell my sister-in-law, remember to tell her to stay away from that old guy!â
He roughly knew where to go, just not sure which house it was exactly.
At that moment, he saw Chiang Xiao come out.
His heart stirred uncontrollably, and he couldnât help but show off a bit by ringing his bikeâs bell.
Ding ling ling.
The sound of the bell rang out, accompanied by his attractive, glowing eyes.
Chiang Xiao pressed her lips together tightly.
What business did a man with a childhood betrothal have here?
