Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Someone Might Be Envious Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Someone Might Be Envious “All of you, scram! What’s there to see? Scram!”
He shooed the crowd off like flies. Despite his unpleasant time with the Liu Family, he was still capable of spending money, which the peasants couldn’t compare to.
Seeing him , the villagers merely laughed and walked away.
Soon, Liu Baixiao saw Manghuang Mountain, which was nearly cleaned up. As it was noon, a few men were preparing to go home for lunch before continuing work.
Noticing Liu Baixiao approaching, they pointed and whispered about him before leaving.
This left Liu Baixiao feeling humiliated, itching to turn around and leave. However, knowing his son was still hiding somewhere, he clenched his teeth and continued walking towards Manghuang Mountain.
“Sangsang, Sangsang, look at that man. Isn’t that Liu Baixiao?” Lin Changhong, spotting Liu Baixiao in the distance, shouted to his sister.
The man who had not visited for almost a decade was now here. This was truly strange.
Hearing Lin Changhong’s voice, Lin Caisang also shifted her gaze to the distance. Sure enough, she saw the sneaky figure of Liu Baixiao, looking around, obviously searching for Grandpa and Grandma.
“Grandma, Second Uncle is here.”
Ms.Lu of Lin Family and Lu Qiubo were planting seedlings next to her. Hearing that her son had returned, she didn’t even lift her head to look. It seemed she was thoroughly disappointed in Liu Baixiao.
“Ignore him, I don’t have that kind of son, and you don’t have a Second Uncle!” said Lu Qiubo without lifting her head.
Lin Caisang looked helplessly at her stubborn grandmother.
“Don’t give me all that family love stuff. If Liu Baixiao had any regard for our family, he wouldn’t have done such a cruel thing.” Lu Qiubo finally lifted her head and looked at Lin Caisang.
She didn’t mind him becoming a son-in-law, or changing his name. Life was his own to live as he pleased.
But what he did last time, almost burying Sangsang alive, was unpardonable. All this time, he didn’t even come to apologize.
This proved Liu Baixiao thought that his mother-in-law was right in her actions.
What use did she have of such a son?
“Grandma, I heard that Liu Qingshui is involved in a murder case. Now that Second Uncle is back, he’s probably up to no good. I just wanted to warn you and Grandpa to be vigilant against him.”
“What? Involved in a murder case?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Qiubo finally put down the seedlings in her hand.
Yet, after a mere two seconds of surprise, she frowned and looked seriously at her granddaughter.
“Sangsang, where did you put that mountain deed? Hide it well. Now that Manghuang Mountain has been nicely cleaned up, people might be envious. Don’t let anyone steal the deed.”
By ‘this person’, she, of course, meant Liu Baixiao.
She thought Grandma would be worried upon hearing about Liu Qingshui’s trouble, but it turned out that her primary concern was the mountain deed being stolen by Liu Baixiao.
Did Grandma think Liu Baixiao came here to borrow money?
“Don’t worry, Grandma, I’ve kept the mountain deed in a safe place where nobody can find it.” she said.
Of course, anything stored in Jinzhu Space couldn’t be stolen. Unless she led someone in herself to take the mountain deed.
