Chapter 544: Chapter 544 Village Head Chapter 544: Chapter 544 Village Head “Xuexue ah! Is one roast chicken enough? Maybe we should bring a watermelon too.” Madam Xie was thinking about asking for a favor, and the gifts certainly couldn’t be too few.
“That works, do we still have a watermelon at home?”
Xuexue had been out for the entire day and had just returned, unaware if there were any watermelons left at home; she had picked a few watermelons last night, but she didn’t know if Madam Xie had already given them all to the Mo family.
“Yes, yes, there’s still one in the kitchen,” Madam Xie hurriedly said.
“Hmm!” Xuexue nodded, then turned to Mo Xiaoqiang and said, “Dad, could you get it for me?”
On the first day at the watermelon field, a big problem had arisen, and Mo Xiaoqiang felt very guilty, so he was eager to work hard.
Shortly after, Mo Xiaoqiang came out holding a big watermelon: “Aiyo, this watermelon is heavy, it must weigh more than ten kilos. Xuexue, should Dad come with you to the village head’s house?”
Madam Xie also agreed with Mo Xiaoqiang’s suggestion.
“Then let’s go, what are you dawdling for! It’s getting dark already.” Xuexue, carrying the roasted chicken wrapped in oil paper, headed out.
“What are you waiting for? Your daughter is calling you! Hurry up and go.” Madam Xie called out to Mo Xiaoqiang who was still standing motionless.
Mo Xiaoqiang, carrying the watermelon in both hands, hurriedly followed behind, thinking to himself that his wife and daughter were finally willing to accept him again.
When they arrived at the village chief’s house, his family was just having dinner.
Seeing Xuexue and her father arrive, they all quickly put down their chopsticks and bowls.
“Aiyo! What brings you and your daughter here?” The village chief’s wife, seeing the gifts they were carrying, immediately lit up with a smile, stood up to serve tea and move stools, and was extremely enthusiastic.
Mo Shaoxing was especially attentive to Xuexue, thinking that since Big Bull was gone, he and Xuexue certainly had a chance. After all, in Mo Family Village, they were both seen as a talented young man and a beautiful maiden, a perfect match made in heaven, though this was just his own wishful thinking.
After some polite exchanges, the village head’s wife took Mo Shaoxing out, leaving the village head to discuss matters with Mo Xiaoqiang and his daughter.
Mo Shaoxing did not want to leave.
“Mom, why are you pulling me away? Xuexue is here; I still want to talk with her for a while.”
“Stop talking nonsense! Do you have a death wish? Haven’t you heard what the villagers have been saying about her? Xinger, as a scholar, you could marry any girl you want. Xuexue isn’t right for you. Just stop thinking about it; I won’t agree to this match.”
They continued to talk as they walked out, their voices faintly reaching the main hall; the village head was embarrassed and thought, “My wife really has no sense, how can she say such things in front of others !”
Village head: “Hehe! Xuexue, don’t mind her, your aunt doesn’t mean it, don’t take it to heart.”
“Uncle Village Chief, we have come to see you today for a reason.” Xuexue didn’t even mention Mo Shaoxing; never mind his mother looking down on her, even if she approved, Xuexue still wouldn’t be interested. What an absurd thought.
“Right, right, you wouldn’t be visiting so late if it weren’t important. Speak up, and let’s see if I can help you.”
Mo Xiaoqiang recounted the day’s events in the watermelon field to the village head.
The village head was also very angry after hearing it.
“Don’t worry, when it comes to land ownership, she can’t just take it because she wants to. When your family divided the property, I helped you register it at the County Yamen; there is a record there. Besides, Madam Xie also has the Land Deed; she won’t be able to snatch it away.”
Hearing this, Mo Xiaoqiang felt relieved at last.
In the end, Xuexue asked the village head to go to the Mo family and tell Old Lady Mo to stop coveting their watermelon field, as it was futile.
