406 Crying at the Funeral
The leader, Cao Xing, cried out affectionately. If one did not understand the situation, one would really think that he was a Chu family member…
After Chu Yang and Chu Se entered the central room, they did not face their grandfather’s coffin and pay their respects.
In their eyes, they had never met this old man before, so there was no need to follow such etiquette.
They had their own understanding and Father Chu didn’t force them. It was good that they could come back.
After they chatted with the Chu family in the central room for a while, Chu Ning brought a hot bowl of noodles to each of them.
“Thank you, Xiao Ning.” The two of them did not stand on ceremony. They were indeed a little hungry.
“Mom is resting on the second floor. You can go and take a look,” Chu Jing spoke softly after the two of them had finished eating.
“Alright, Second Brother.” Chu Yang and Chu Se then left the central room.
“I’m very curious how Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother did it. He could actually make Cao Xing, the village tyrant, kneel at the door with a group of people and cry. Obviously, if it weren’t for Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother, these people would have come to cause trouble,” Chu Zhang said ruefully.
“This is the result that Cao Xing should bear. Before we came, how many Laoshan villagers were bullied by them but didn’t dare to make a sound?” Chu Ning chuckled as she looked at the lively scene outside the central room.
“Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother are really…very resourceful.” Chu Zhang felt that it was very mystical.
“Let’s wait and see. The show has just begun. Grandpa’s funeral has to be held, and Cao Xing, the tyrant of the Laoshan Village, has to be fixed.” Chu Ning knew that this was the result of her big brother, fifth brother, and sixth brother working together.
The ultimate goal was not to make Cao Xing lower his head and admit his mistakes, or even cry in front of the Chu residence.
Chu Zhe had lived in Laoshan Village for a period of time when he was young, so he naturally knew where the problem lay.
What he wanted to resolve was not Cao Xing, but the village chief’s unreasonable system.
He wanted Laoshan Village to not have a village chief position.
Originally, the people living in the depths of the mountains had a very difficult life. With the addition of a village chief to exploit them, some villagers didn’t even have the luxury of having a full stomach.
They lacked knowledge and culture, so they didn’t know what life outside the mountains was like. After all, many didn’t have mobile phones, televisions, or other electronic products, so they didn’t need entertainment.
Although Chu Zhe could not solve their poverty issue at the root, he could at least reduce their stressors.
A moment later, Chu Yang and Chu Se reappeared outside the central room.
After Chu Zhe whispered a few words into Chu Yang’s ear, Chu Yang smiled and walked towards the group of people kneeling in front of the Chu family’s door.
His target this time was not Cao Xing.
Chu Yang walked up to Fatty Zhang, who had earlier almost collapsed from fear because of him.
Looking at Fatty Zhang who was kneeling on the ground and crying hard, Chu Yang squatted down and said softly, “Are you sad, kneeling down?”
“I’m not sad, no… I’m sad, I’m sad from the bottom of my heart.” Fatty Zhang first shook his head, then nodded.
Chu Yang only asked him if he felt sad kneeling down, but he was currently wailing at the other party’s grandfather’s funeral. If he was not sad, it meant that he was not sincerely repenting.
“Alright, you may rise.” The corners of Chu Yang’s mouth rose slightly. He most despised people who looked fierce on the surface but were actually weak and incompetent on the inside.
“No, I’ll just kneel.” Fatty Zhang shook his head and cried even harder.
His hair was not long, but there was a ravine running through the middle of his hair.
This was the mark left by the bullet.
He understood even more clearly than Cao Xing just how terrifying Chu Yang was.
“I need you to do something for me.” Chu Yang’s tone already revealed his impatience.
“Sir, what is it? I’ll immediately get it done for you!” Fatty Zhang suddenly stood up again.
Chu Yang’s words were more effective than Cao Xing’s.
“Go and inform the villagers of Laoshan Village and get them to inform each other to gather here. You only have an hour. If I don’t see you after an hour, I’ll personally pay you a visit,” Chu Yang said with a smile.
Just as Chu Yang finished speaking, Fatty Zhang strode out on his short legs.
Fatty Zhang had never felt like this before. He felt that time was so tight, and one hour was like a countdown to his death.
“Uncle Zhang, where are you going?” When Fatty Zhang passed by the creek, he met Cao Yun and the young man who were fishing.
Cao Yun couldn’t help but ask curiously when he saw Fatty Zhang’s anxious look.
Fatty Zhang wanted to pretend he didn’t hear it, but after thinking about it, he said, “You two stay here, you’re not allowed to go to the Chu family!”
Then, he ran to the other villagers’ houses in Laoshan Village.
