The onlookers burst into laughter.
Who in the village didn’t know that Liu Xiaowan’s mother-in-law was a powerful person? Even though they were separated by a courtyard wall, they could still hear her cursing loudly every day.
Before Yue Jiaojiao came, Liu Xiaowan was the one who liked to put on a show in front of the big guys. There were many people who didn’t like her.
It was no wonder that Liu Xiaowan’s mother-in-law would suspect her of being disloyal.
“Xiaowan, it’s better if you don’t get involved in this matter. The last time you went to Zhao Zhan’s house, you were seen by many people. You should stay away from him. Don’t let your mother-in-law know and scold you after. You can’t compare to Zhao Zhan’s wife, Jiaojiao.”
The way he spoke to Liu Xiaowan was half-genuine and half-fake.
“Don’t talk nonsense. I went to find work for my husband,” Liu Xiaowan anxiously explained.
When her mother-in-law heard about what happened last time, she had been hungry for two days. If she hadn’t coaxed her husband that night and made him feel comfortable and willing to put in a good word for her, she didn’t know how much more torture she would have to endure.
“Let’s go to Lizheng’s place first,” Zhao Zhan only wanted to stay far away from Liu Xiaowan and didn’t want to get involved with her at all. “It’s getting late.”
“Yes, yes, yes, let’s go!”
The three of them went straight to Lizheng’s house.
When he saw him, Lizheng greeted Zhao Zhan with a happy face. “I was planning to go to town to find you tomorrow. Since you’re here, we can settle it now. Someone has already come to register.”
“What?” Gu Xiaoyu was shocked. “Is there anyone in this village who came earlier than me?”
She didn’t even hesitate for long. Who trusted Zhao Zhan more than her?
“Don’t tell me it’s Zhao Kuazi?” Gu Xiaoyu guessed, “Although everyone knows that lady and Zhao Zhan have broken off their relationship, she has watched Zhao Zhan grow up. She forced Zhao Zhan to learn everything she knows. She must know Zhao Zhan’s abilities better than anyone else.”
The more Gu Xiaoyu thought about it, the more she felt it made sense.
If even Kuazi did it, it must mean that this matter will be very reliable.
“What are you talking about?” Lizheng glanced at Zhao Zhan and Yue Jiaojiao’s expressions, then placed the deed on the table. “It was Dalei’s mother who came. She said she was willing to use half an acre of land to exchange for your formula for the manure.”
“What?”
Gu Xiaoyu said anxiously, “Dalei’s mother? Liu Xiaowan’s mother-in-law? You didn’t do this behind Liu Xiaowan’s back, right?”
What do you think?” Lizheng glared at Gu Xiaoyu. “This land is the most precious thing in the family. All of Dalei’s land was taken care of by his wife. How could she hide it?”
“The family of three came together. They came to find me right after I said that.”
Yue Jiaojiao looked at Zhao Zhan in a daze and scratched his palm with her fingers.
Zhao Zhan grabbed it and shook his head at her with an innocent look.
This matter really had nothing to do with him!
“Uncle Lizheng, Liu Xiaowan’s home…”
“Don’t even thinkin about t.” Lizheng looked at Zhao Zhan with a rare cold expression. “We’re all from the same village. I know you want to avoid suspicion. If you don’t want to teach them, then let my son teach them. But you can’t stop others from learning. After all, this contract was made by me”
“You’re so thoughtful,” Yue Jiaojiao added on Zhao Zhan’s behalf, “Otherwise, why would you be the village chief.”
“This Liu Xiaowan, I must tell everyone about it later,” Gu Xiaoyu said angrily. “Yang Lizheng, hurry, hurry, hurry. If I can’t be the first one, I must be the second one. Otherwise, I won’t be able to get any good seedlings.”
