Just now he saw that the suitcases Old Sir He packed contained his dical belongings.
Besides, Old Sir He had no relatives left, where could he possibly go when travelling far?
"You said you aren’t treating people anymore, right?"
Though he had treated Mr. Qin and Qin Yang before, that was because of her connections, and indeed, Old Sir He had always adhered to his principles.
Old Sir He did not deny it, simply stating softly, "Even though my master doesn’t have great abilities, I still want to protect my disciple with this old face."
"Old man, what are you talking about?"
Lin Chuxia angrily grabbed the luggage from his hand, "If we don’t want to treat others, we won’t do it; nobody can force you into doing sothing you are reluctant to do. Just stay at ho comfortably, do whatever you want; I can handle my own issues and don’t need anyone’s protection."
From the beginning to the end, Lin Chuxia considered Old Sir He as her master without expecting any repaynt.
Old Sir He looked at her with a chuckle, as if looking at a bristling little cat.
"Put away that attitude. I don’t have such influence here, and no one is threatening . It’s just an old friend who is sick, I want to visit him and take the opportunity to unwind."
Though he said that, Lin Chuxia knew that the master didn’t want her to feel psychologically burdened.
"Master, the problem is really resolved, and I am capable of handling it. Even if you don’t trust my abilities, you should trust your own judgnt; how could your disciple be stumped by such a trivial matter? I really don’t want you to do anything you don’t want to."
Old Sir He laughed and patted her head, "There’s nothing I don’t want to do. Watching you busily achieve all these things over the past two years, I suddenly feel that living aimlessly is no different from waiting for death, consider it a whim of mine."
"Then you can go after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Old Sir He had no choice but to agree in the end.
He sighed, "If my old friend blas later, I can only bla it on my reckless young disciple."
.........
"How could I be making this up? Soone saw it with their own eyes; don’t you guys ever think, what kind of relationship do those two have? Being unrelated yet having this connection, would any of you believe it?"
"Now that you ntion it, I rember during the quarrel yesterday, Factory Director Su was desperately protecting her."
"That makes your point strange. She has brought us such great benefits, shouldn’t she be protected? I see the village chief protecting her too. According to you, does she have a relation with the village chief as well?"
"Who can say for sure? It might very well be true. How old is that woman? Even younger than your daughters, right? Could your daughters manage to open a factory? And with so many people in the Qin Family Village, who could get such a large piece of land from the village chief?"
"Ma San, I think you are going too far. Lin obtained the land from the village chief through a contract and a paynt of money. The village chief said that our village could start a chicken farm because of the money Lin paid for the land. Lin did want a plot of land, true, but it was the village chief who asked her to buy it, and even provided 20 job slots for our village. Besides, how many people are working at the food factory now? You are being too ungrateful with your words."
"Why am I ungrateful? We are just being realistic here. Let’s not talk about the village matters; let’s talk about the recent issues with the old food factory, which had been troubling for many days and suddenly got resolved yesterday. Why?"
"Why indeed?" soone curiously asked.
"It’s all because that woman is formidable and has ways. I heard that she managed to get the county head involved, that woman...hey hey hey..."
Qin Yang had just arrived at the village entrance when he overheard a few villagers whispering.
Initially, he didn’t care, but when he heard ntion of Xiyang Food Factory, he slowed down.
Until he heard this statent, Qin Yang could no longer hold back and grabbed Ma San by the collar.
"What did you just say?"
Ma San was forcibly lifted up, struggling continuously, "What can I say? It’s what everyone’s been saying..."
When he saw clearly who was lifting him, especially that gloomy face, he was suddenly stuck.
"Qin... Qin Lao..."
Ma San’s face turned bright red, whether from strangulation or fear was unknown.
"Those words, I didn’t say them, everyone else was saying that."
"Who are ’they’?"
Ma San’s eyes flickered, "I... I forgot, but I truly didn’t spread rumors. Everyone knows, your wife and the Factory Director Su of Xiyang Food Factory have an unusual relationship, even this affair was her and the county..."
Before he could finish, Qin Yang punched him. Ma San yelped, not daring to say another word.
But his eyes looked wronged, as if Qin Yang was bullying him.
Qin Yang didn’t care about that; talking about his wife, spreading rumors about his wife was unacceptable.
He continued to punch Ma San who had no strength to fight back, just crying out in pain.
At first, the onlookers were feeling guilty, thinking about whether they should hide away quickly.
Seeing how badly Ma San was being beaten, they had to steel themselves and step forward to break it up.
"Qin Lao, Qin Yang, stop hitting him, or you’ll kill soone."
"He has a nasty mouth, calm down, it’s just everyone spreading nonsense, don’t take it to heart."
Qin Yang scoffed coldly, "Aunt Li, Aunt Wang, if everyone said Uncle Li and Aunt Wang were having an affair, or Uncle Wang and Aunt Li were, would you take it to heart?"
The peacemakers, Aunt Li and Aunt Wang: "..."
Of course, they’d take it to heart, they’d tear those blabbermouths apart.
But Lin Chuxia has always been the village’s topic, everyone was used to talking about her, whether good or bad, people always had a few words to say when gathering.
Qin Yang ignored Aunt Wang and Aunt Li, and after giving Ma San a few more punches, he stopped and warned, "If I hear you slandering my wife again, don’t bla for being unkind."
Ma San slowly got up from the ground only after Qin Yang had walked away.
The surrounding won didn’t dare to co forward, even blaming him, "Look Ma San, you better stop saying such disapproved words in the future. From what I see, Qin Lao’s wife is not like what you described."
"Right, don’t say these words to us next ti, we don’t want to listen."
Talking casually about others is fine, but talking about Qin family, what if they truly offend them, and Xiyang Food Factory stops hiring their family mbers in the future?
After all, even if their families don’t have many people, who doesn’t have relatives and friends?
......
At night, Lin Chuxia returned ho; workers were already at the newly-built house in the front yard.
Sotis they were plastering the walls or asuring window sizes, all unfamiliar faces; Lin Chuxia knew that Qin Yang must have hired masons from outside.
In this respect, Qin Yang and Lin Chuxia held a similar view; they were not short of money now, and they preferred to solve issues with money whenever possible rather than owing favors.
In the future, she and Qin Yang would live in the city, with her elder brother and sister-in-law busy with the Bun Shop, and it would be hard to repay any owed favors.
