Chapter 84: Chapter 082: No Illness, Might as Well Treat It as Conditioning

——————

At that moment, the crowd gathered at the village committee was collectively dumbfounded.

However, seeing the father and son of the Li family taking ages just to ask for directions, Mrs. Chen from the Chen family, anxiously waiting alongside her daughter-in-law, had no choice but to get off the truck and interrupt everyone’s surprise.

"Relatives, have you found out where Comrade Zhang Shanni’s husband’s family lives?" Mrs. Chen, Liu Guilan, stood outside the village committee courtyard and called out loudly.

In her heart, she found the efficiency of these relatives unsatisfactory. Was it necessary to spend nearly twenty minutes just to ask for directions? Meanwhile, her daughter-in-law Feng Chunling tugged at her mother-in-law’s sleeve, signaling her not to appear too anxious.

"Oh, oh, mother, we’ll be right there," Li Jianfeng responded to his mother-in-law’s impatient tone, signaling his father not to linger any longer.

"Brother Xie, shall we head back to your place and have a good talk?" Li Baojia, well aware of his son’s mother-in-law’s impetuousness and unbothered by her tone, took Xie Tiesheng’s hand in a brotherly fashion and suggested.

"Of course, of course, that’s only proper. Station Chief Li, I will have my uncle take you there. Uncle, since you have guests, go ahead and take auntie back to welcome the visitors," Xie Jingqiang said upon hearing the warm camaraderie between Station Chief Li and Xie Tiesheng. He dared not over-familiarize by calling him ’Brother Li’ anymore, as that would muddle the generational ranks. So he reverted to his official title instead.

"Okay," Xie Tiesheng nodded and gestured for his wife to go ahead and notify others, then took the lead with Li Baojia towards the Xie Family home: "Comrade Station Chief Li, please follow me."

Xie Tiesheng did not soften his stance due to Li Baojia’s significant status, but since he indeed was the head of the town’s grain station, basic respect was still afforded. Besides, both individuals were keen on befriending each other, hence the tone was quite cordial. ƒrēewebnovel.com

"No, no, Brother Xie, just call me Brother Li. Our family is truly here to express gratitude to your son and daughter-in-law. If you’re too formal, I’ll feel uncomfortable coming by frequently," Li Baojia followed Xie Tiesheng’s lead closely.

He didn’t feel uncomfortable about thickening his skin to call Xie Jingqiang ’brother’ before and now Xie Tiesheng. Both being government officials, they were old hands at dealing with situations tactfully. Even if there were misunderstandings, they knew how to act as if nothing had happened.

Li Jianfeng stayed behind to engage in a bit more courteous conversation with Xie Jingqiang before anxiously boarding the truck with his mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and following his father and Xie Tiesheng towards the Xie Family residence.

The onlooking villagers, having heard the dignified guests mention ’Zhang Shanni,’ finally believed that the visitors had indeed come looking for the Xie family’s new bride, who had jumped into the water!

After the dignitaries had left, several old women gathered together to gossip—despite the Xie family marrying a bride with a not-so-good reputation, they managed to turn bad luck into good fortune, truly making others envious!
