Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Stirring Trouble
After Yue Jiandong returned, he shared the news with everyone, and it was as sweet as honey to them.
Even Lin Chunju had a smile on her face.
“Good, let’s finalize this matter early. Tomorrow… no, this afternoon we’ll go find the village head,” she said.
Yue Jiandong smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve discussed it with Junzi. He’s also off today, and he’ll go to Village Chief Zhang’s house this afternoon; I expect they’ll both be here by evening.”
“That’s great, that’s great,” Lin Chunju finally could relax.
She hugged Yue Xiaohu now and then held Yue Qingqing.
“When you grow up, our family can often eat sugar and at!”
Yue Xingxing, unable to contain her excitent, exclaid, “Grandma, too!”
“Xingxing can have so too.” Lin Chunju picked her up, her smile so broad she could hardly close her mouth.
“It’s going to be a bit tiring tonight. Let’s make so extra dishes; after all, the village head is making the trip on such a festive occasion.”
Zhang Ying and Wang Xiaoni nodded, their faces beaming with smiles, not feeling tired in the slightest.
By evening, the table was set with steaming dishes, and Zhang Ying wiped clean the stools she had moved over.
But the guest they were waiting for didn’t show up.
Yue Jiannan had been standing in the outer courtyard for quite so ti, shivering from the cold.
“Mom, Aqiu! No… no sign of them.”
Lin Chunju pulled him back inside. “Don’t worry, maybe sothing held them up,” she said.
But her heart sank slightly, a bad premonition creeping in.
She held Yue Qingqing and whispered softly, “Qingqing, is there a problem?”
Yue Qingqing nodded honestly, shattering Lin Chunju’s last illusion.
Her brows deeply furrowed, she was unsure how to break the bad news to the rest of the family.
Before Lin Chunju could think of a solution, the village head and Jin Aijun finally arrived, and shockingly, they were followed by an unwelco guest.
Yue Jiannan blocked the doorway, his teeth clenched, “Wang Jinshun, the Yue Family does not welco you.”
Wang Jinshun just sneered and said sarcastically, “Like it or not, I ca with Village Chief Zhang.”
Village Chief Zhang sighed and tried to diate, “Let him in first; there’s a matter to discuss.”
Reluctantly, Yue Jiannan had to let them in.
Upon entering, Jin Aijun could barely look Yue Jiandong in the face, his eyes full of guilt.
Wang Jinshun, dragging his less agile right leg, swaggered and took a seat in the chair reserved for guests at the Yue Family ho.
Yue Qingqing noticed that after not seeing this man for a while, he beca even more detestable. The resentnt in him had lingered and nearly swallowed him whole.
Wang Jinshun, seeing the exquisitely beautiful little girl staring unblinkingly at him, scornfully curled his lips.
A useless investnt, no matter how pretty she is.
Since she already knew the outco, Lin Chunju appeared calm.
“Village Chief, Aijun, let’s have dinner together first. We can talk about matters after the al,” she said.
Village Chief Zhang and Jin Aijun both waved their hands, with Jin Aijun looking particularly ashad.
Wang Jinshun wanted to disgust the Yue Family, but no one offered him chopsticks.
Village Chief Zhang cleared his throat, “Sister-in-law of the Yue Family, Aijun ca to see today, wanting to rent the land to your family. I agreed to witness this and was about to prepare the report for the governnt.”
“But not long after, Aijun and Wang Jinshun ca back to , saying that the land should be rented to Wang Jinshun’s family. He clearly broke his promise, so he asked to co and speak about it.”
The Yue Family was both angry and anxious, as Wang Jinshun has only a son and a daughter, and the land they owned was more than enough for them. Why would he snatch the land they had eyed?
The sight of the Yue Family’s angry expressions delighted Wang Jinshun imnsely.
After his leg was broken, people in the village said it was his karma.
Though Wang Jinshun didn’t believe in karma and found it weird, especially after his son beca impotent, his hatred toward the Yue Family deepened.
During the idle ti in winter, Wang Jinshun made it his business to watch the Yue Family and naturally discovered the eting between Yue Jiandong and Jin Aijun.
His mind was fairly agile, and he quickly guessed the intentions of the Yue Family.
No way will they turn their luck around!
He was determined to block the Yue Family’s path!
