Chapter 158 - 158 That’s A Loss For Me



158 That’s A Loss For Me

As soon as Xie Heng walked away, the girl bit her lip and stared at Xie Heng’s back. She was full of shame and anger.

Before Xie Heng went blind, women in Lengshui Village, young or old, liked Xie Heng very much. They either wanted Xie Heng to be their son-in-law or to marry Xie Heng.

However, when Xie Heng became blind, they started shunning him. They even did not allow the girls to approach Xie Heng. They were afraid that Xie Heng would want to live off their girls.

As the only young lady in her family, she was very favored. Initially, she had bothered Xie Heng the most, but when he became blind, she was the first to stay away from him. At last, she even told Xie Heng not to daydream anymore and asked him to stay away from her.

Her name was Niu Fenger, and she was Niu Ziming’s cousin.

In the past, she had also been horrible to the original owner.

But she was never arrogant in front of Zhao Chuchu. On the contrary, she was probably afraid of this ruthless girl, so she went to Xie Heng.

Zhao Chuchu looked at the angry Niu Fenger and sighed. Men should not be so good-looking.

Niu Fenger stomped her feet angrily and went home with the basket.

Zhao Chuchu came out and took fresh herbs to the riverside to wash. Then she slowly went back to Xie Heng’s home.

Xie Heng was cooking in the kitchen. Zhao Chuchu spread the herbs out and then went to the kitchen.

“I didn’t expect you to be so popular.” Zhao Chuchu sat in front of the kitchen stove and smiled at Xie Heng. “With your eyes cured, now you’re lucky in love again, huh?”

“You saw everything?” Xie Heng looked up at Zhao Chuchu.

“Don’t get me wrong. I wasn’t following you. I just happened to be nearby. How about I give up my position for them, Da Lang?”

Xie Heng said calmly, “You can just ignore them and take this position with ease. Then I won’t be distracted by these things. Or do you want to leave here? But Junjun hasn’t recovered yet. You promised me that…”

Xie Heng started to look kind of worried.

“Da Lang, I’m just kidding. Don’t be so serious.”

“I care about Junjun a lot.” Xie Heng lowered his head and sighed slightly.

Zhao Chuchu felt guilty when she saw this.

“Don’t worry. Even if I have to leave, it will be after Junjun completely recovers. I’m just worried that if I remain as your wife, it will stop you from meeting your love.”

“My love is not in Lengshui Village. It will be fine. And your presence can make many people stay away from me.”

“You are using me as a shield.”

“I’ll cook for you when you’re in Lengshui Village. Just tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll learn how to cook.”

“Still sounds like a loss for me.”

“I will repay you when I pass the provincial civil service examination in the future.”

Zhao Chuchu nodded. “Well, now you are talking. I don’t do favors without getting something in return.”

Xie Heng smiled. “I’ll return your favors.”

Zhao Chuchu lowered his head and pushed the firewood that had burned out of the stove into the stove so she did not see the flash of light in Xie Heng’s eyes.

With Xie Heng’s help, Niu Tongsheng finally planted Sorghum.

Zhao Guitang’s tofu business was getting better and better. Many restaurants wanted the recipe for his tofu.

Maybe Zhao Guitang got his confidence from Zhao Chuchu, so he refused to sell the recipe to them.

However, he offended a lot of people, being too blunt and inexperienced in doing business.

A few days later, when Niu Le was sending tofu to the county town, he was stopped by some people. They dumped all the tofu on the cart on the ground and beat Niu Le severely. They said that if Niu Le didn’t pay the toll, they would beat him every time they saw him.

Niu Le went back to Lengshui Village with bruises and a swollen face.

Zhao Guitang was so scared that he asked Zhao Meilan to invite Zhao Chuchu to his home.

Those people did not dare kill people. Niu Le’s bruises looked serious, but he had no broken bones. With some cream, the swelling would subside after a few days.

“Chuchu, what should we do? Today’s tofu can’t be delivered to the county town. How are we going to explain this to Manager Lin?” Zhao Guitang was anxious.

Zhao Chuchu said, “Uncle Niu Le, Meilan, you two should go to the county town with me. Since they want to mess with us, let’s show them what we’ve got.”

Hearing what Zhao Chuchu said, Zhao Guitang was completely at ease.

Madam Kong came over and saw that Niu Le had been beaten. She cried and cursed, “Those bastards! My son has never messed with them, right? So why did they beat my son like this? Screw them!”

“Grandma, I will get justice for Uncle Niu Le. Don’t worry. I will go to the county town with Uncle Niu Le first. We’ll talk about it after we come back.” Zhao Chuchu comforted Madam Kong.

Madam Kong wiped her tears and said, “You must make those bastards pay!”

Zhao Chuchu said, “Of course. No one can get away after messing with me.”

Of course, Madam Kong was still worried and asked Niu An to go with them.

Zhao Guitang and Madam He loaded the remaining tofu and prepared to send it to the county town. At least they should offer Manager Lin an explanation.

The ox cart was too slow. Zhao Chuchu wanted to take out the off-road vehicle in her carry-on space, but it would be too shocking, and she would not know what trouble it would cause.

She wanted to buy a carriage when she got back. At least it could go faster than the ox cart.

While Zhao Chuchu was thinking about that, they arrived at the place where Niu Le was stopped.

This was the first town on the way from Yongfu Town to the county town.

The people who beat Niu Le had not left. They were still waiting there.

Seeing Niu Le, they rushed over.

“Oh, you are so brave. How dare you come here again? Why? Did you get the protection fee? However, two beautiful girls are not enough. But, of course, if you present them to us, we won’t say no.”

Niu Le was livid.

Zhao Chuchu got off the ox cart.

...

She looked at the seven bullies and said, “Do you want to charge protection fees? How much do you charge? Is this amount enough?”

With that, Zhao Chuchu held up five fingers.

Seeing this, one of the bullies seemed delighted and stepped forward. He said, “You are quite clever, girl. However, that is not enough. We need more. ”

He then held up ten fingers to Zhao Chuchu.

Zhao Chuchu nodded and said, “Well, okay. Come here, and I’ll give it to you.”

The head of the bullies walked over, laughing.

He did not think the silver was enough.

He knew that the tofu business in Lengshui Village was very profitable. So if he could get the recipe, he would make a fortune.

He walked over to Zhao Chuchu with that in mind.

“Oh, girl, now give it to me.”

Zhao Chuchu’s action was swift. She slapped the bully hard twice, which made the bully spin and his mouth bleed.

...

After standing still in a daze, he covered his red face and looked at Zhao Chuchu in disbelief. “Fuck you! How dare you beat me?”

Zhao Chuchu then punched him in the eye. “This is my additional protection fee. How about it? Are you satisfied now?”
