397 Father Chu's Punch

"Hmph, at least you're tactful. It's like this, my son has fallen in love with your daughter. Choose a time for your daughter and my son to get engaged." Cao Xing snorted in disdain and said casually.

"What did you just say?" Father Chu suddenly looked up, as if he had heard wrongly.

Chu Ning also looked at Cao Xing in disbelief, as though he was a fool.

Before she had come, her second brother Chu Jing had told her that the people in the mountains were different from those in the outside world. Their thinking was more rigid and old-fashioned, and they valued men over women. However, how could this village chief, Cao Xing, utter such brainless words?

Was this a primitive society?

Cao Yun, who was not far away, lowered his head even more.

After he had gone back, he had been so excited that he couldn't sleep for the whole night. Every time he closed his eyes, the image of Chu Ning would appear in his mind.

In this Laoshan Village, there was nothing that he, Cao Yun, couldn't get.

After all, he was the future village chief, and no one was willing to provoke him. He was the target of the entire village's fawning.

However, he could not imagine how prosperous the outside world was. Cao Yun did not even have the concept of law in his mind.

Ever since he was young, his father, the village chief, would try his best to satisfy his needs.

"I said, let your daughter..." Cao Xing opened his mouth again, but he stopped halfway.

This was because Father Chu's fist had suddenly met with his face, causing him to stagger and become dazed.

"Heavens! What did I just see? This is the first time in my life that I've seen Dad fight with someone!" When Chu Huan, who was dozing off in the central room, heard the commotion outside, his sleepiness instantly vanished.

Then, he saw a scene that shocked him to the point that his jaw dropped.

Father Chu had hit somebody.

And it happened to be the village chief of Laoshan Village.

Chu Zhe and Chu Jing were very calm. They simply watched what was unfolding before them.

However, the Laoshan villagers standing outside were just as stunned as Chu Huan.

It was silent for a few seconds.

"Chief... The village chief was actually beaten up." Someone's voice broke as he spoke up. He couldn't believe that the scene in front of him was real.

"Cao Xing, today is my father's grand ceremony. I didn't want to do anything, but you shouldn't have targeted my child." Father Chu walked up to Cao Xing and grabbed his collar, speaking calmly.

"You dare hit me..." Cao Xing looked at Chu Ming in confusion. He was still a little dizzy.

Cao Yun continued to have his head lowered.

His usual overbearing and rude attitude had disappeared.

He didn't want to raise his head and face the scene before him.

"There are some things that you can't avoid by lowering your head. Otherwise, you'll be a coward for the rest of your life." Chu Ning left these light words that held a deep meaning when she passed Cao Yun while pulling Father Chu away.

The village chief, Cao Xing, had been hit by Chu Ming.

This matter would spread throughout the entire Laoshan Village before dark.

Chu Ning and her father walked into the central room under everyone's complicated gazes.

"Uncle Cao, we don't welcome you here. Take your son and leave."

Under Chu Zhe's orders, Chu Huan walked reluctantly out of the house.

Chu Huan's voice wasn't soft. Not only did Cao Xing and his son hear him, but the Laoshan villagers outside the house also clearly heard him.

Without a doubt, this was another slap in the face for Cao Xing and his son.

"You guys just wait!" Cao Xing looked at Chu Huan with resentment. Then, he grabbed his son, who was still squatting on the ground, and left.

"Tsk, why are you angry at me? I didn't want to do this," Chu Huan mumbled unhappily.

Chu Zhe had asked him to say these words to Cao Xing and his son.

"Dad, don't worry. If it really doesn't work out, we can bring Grandpa back. There are mountains in M City, as well as cemeteries. We came back to attend a funeral, not to be at the mercy of others," Chu Zhe spoke softly as he looked at his father's sorrowful face

"Dad, that Cao guy might bring people to take revenge on us. What should we do?" Chu Huan said weakly after returning to the central room.

"He's just scaring you," Chu Ning said casually.

"You know that, too. What if they really gather people and bring them here? I'll see what you can do," Chu Huan said, a little worried.

"The villagers of Laoshan Village are afraid of Cao Xing because they've been living here for a long time. That's why they're always restricted by Cao Xing. Xiao Huan, have you noticed that these villagers are either older or children? Almost no young adults are here. Why is this so? You'll understand once you think about this." Chu Zhe shook his head helplessly and explained.
