——————

The misfortune that befell the Old Xie Family in the morning had already reached Li Baojia’s ears by noon. He immediately learned all the details of the incident and used some small connections to safeguard the reputation of the Xie Family members.

After all, when Zhang Shanni left, she had formally come to bid farewell to her uncle, Li Baojia. To maintain genuinely sincere relationships, one must take the initiative to assume responsibility and offer protection.

The already mentioned Captain of the Qingshan Team, was truly overwhelmed and flustered by the situation!

Now, amidst the New Year festivities, the temperature was a mere three degrees! For a small southern town, this temperature is extremely cold.

Yet, at this moment, Captain Zhou was genuinely sweating from urgency!

Behind Wang Guicai was the support of the Qingshan Captain, who coincidentally was surnamed Zhou. However, he was not from the Zhou Family of Qingfeng Village.

Before Captain Zhou could respond to Wang Guicai’s alarming words, Li Jianfeng had already come knocking on his door.

Among all the teams in the county town, the Qingshan Team had average grain collections, neither good nor bad. Hence, Captain Zhou felt quite insecure in front of Li Baojia, the grain station chief.

Likewise, he naturally knew the only son of the grain station chief.

The arrival of Li Jianfeng symbolized a stance, which immediately darkened Wang Guicai’s face.

Originally thinking that his incompetent son involving himself with Xie Jingchen’s sister might be beneficial should Xie Jingchen become a capable family member in the future – somewhat forcibly creating a lucky draw situation.

But Xie Tiesheng was no foolish old man; with other members of Old Xie combating the situation, Wang Guicai’s influence was not yet significant enough to control Wang Junxuan’s actions, who continued to leap in and out of Xie Jingzi’s presence to assert his existence.

However, the problem was Xie Tiesheng did not pick up the challenge, nor was Xie Jingzi a delicate and weak rural girl to be pressured by rumors into agreeing to marry a scoundrel like Wang Junxuan - the Xie Family would unanimously disagree!

Moreover, at this time, every member of the Xie Family was literate and knowledgeable, witnessing the country’s emphasis on cultural property development, the Xie Family’s reputation was about to drastically improve – how could they possibly want a disgraceful son-in-law like Wang Junxuan!

Before the Wang Family could even successfully execute their plans, Wang Junxuan’s frequent visits to the Xie Family not only failed to attract Xie Jingzi, the little aunt, but also entangled with Xie Lao Wu’s famously unruly wife!

This incident truly dragged Wang Guicai’s family reputation through the mud.

But now, reputation aside, ignorance was possible. After all, he had medical skills, and no one dared to curse him to his face.

Wang Guicai was now worried that the Xie Family would expel him and his family!

If so, not just his son, but also his daughter would be affected! Wang Xiuzhen immediately advised him to quickly look for Captain Zhou and consider moving first, better than being driven out!

Yet, hearing this, Wang Guicai wanted to use his medical skills arrogantly, hoping Xie Tiesheng would erase this incident.

However, he forgot that since the Xie Family had married Zhang Shanni, their standing was not the same as before!

Just the relationship between Zhang Shanni and the Li Baojia family alone was enough for Wang Guicai to worry.

What made him even more desperate was that while he was waiting in the yard for Captain Zhou to finish addressing Li Jianfeng and hoping to inquire about the outcome, before he could see Li Jianfeng leave, he was instead startled to see an armed guard appear abruptly at Captain Zhou’s house!

Leading the team was the team clerk!
