Huo Shaohua came out of the bath and walked into the courtyard, feeling the eyes of everyone present focused on him.
The village chief and others stared at him, all guessing his purpose for this visit.
Huo Shaohua took the initiative to walk in front of them and spoke: "Who is the village chief?"
"What do you want?!" Hua Fugui stood up angrily, glaring at Huo Shaohua.
He had known that this man named Huo coming to Huatan Village would bring nothing good.
"Who is the village chief?" Huo Shaohua cast a cold glance at Hua Fugui, ignoring his presence.
The village chief, fearing, broke into a cold sweat, his legs trembling.
He had known that Huo Shaohua’s visit would not be good.
"I am the village chief..." Supporting his knee, he struggled to stand up and responded to Huo Shaohua.
"Old man, are you alright?" Aunt Hua stood up worriedly and helped the village chief.
"I’m fine." The village chief waved his hand.
"Village chief, may I speak with you privately," Huo Shaohua said politely to the village chief.
"If you have something to say, say it here. Don’t bully my dad!" Hua Fugui was anxious, proving the man named Huo was up to no good.
After bullying Xingyun, now he was going to start bullying the village.
"Fugui, shut up!" The village chief sternly scolded Hua Fugui.
"Dad, he definitely has ill intentions." Hua Fugui pointed angrily at Huo Shaohua.
Tian Xingyun heard the noise and quickly came out of the kitchen, walking over hastily.
"What’s wrong with the village chief?" she asked, nervously observing everyone’s expressions.
Hopefully, the thing she feared wouldn’t happen.
"Xingyun, you ungrateful brat, bringing this outsider back to bully us!" Aunt Hua angrily pointed at Tian Xingyun and scolded.
She had once thought Xingyun was a good girl, but never imagined she would be with Huo Shaohua.
Now they returned together to deal with Huatan Village. Such ingratitude!
Huatan Village had raised her for so many years in vain.
"Aunt Hua, what happened?" Tian Xingyun’s face turned pale; Aunt Hua’s comments pained her deeply.
"Mom, don’t say that about Xingyun!" Hua Fugui stood up for Tian Xingyun.
"All of you, shut up!" the village chief roared.
Huo Shaohua frowned in displeasure. These people were really noisy.
Noticing Tian Xingyun’s pale face, was this how the villagers viewed her?
She had sacrificed for the village, yet they saw her as a traitor marrying the enemy.
Was it really worth it for her?
Or was sacrificing for the village just a facade, and her true goal was to marry him?
"I just want to explain that the Huo Family employees came to the village to create trouble without my knowledge, and I never ordered them to damage anything in Huatan Village. I will compensate for any damage done." Huo Shaohua solemnly explained. If it weren’t for Tian Xingyun, he wouldn’t have bothered to explain.
He didn’t care what these villagers thought of him.
"..." Tian Xingyun looked at him slightly surprised; she hadn’t expected he would explain in front of everyone.
"..." The village chief and others looked at him in shock. What was going on?
"I did intend to buy Huatan Village before, but rest assured, I will no longer do anything harmful to Huatan Village." Huo Shaohua promised seriously, his gaze falling on Tian Xingyun.
This was also what he had promised her, regardless of her motives.
As long as she safely gave birth to the child, this promise would remain valid for a lifetime.
He would not touch a single blade of grass in Huatan Village and would do his utmost to protect it from anyone’s harm.
"Are you serious?" The village chief asked, trembling with disbelief.
