Outright Lying

Niu Tongsheng didn't catch on to the meaning behind Zhao Chuchu's words, so he was relieved.

"It's time to teach them a lesson. That way, they won't dare to be so shameless in the future."

"Well, as long as they don't mess with me, I won't do anything to them."

"The house and the tile roof have been fixed. I saw that your table and stools are not in good shape, so I also repaired them."

"Thank you, Village Chief."

Niu Tongsheng was practical, but he was not stupid. Once he got an off-ramp, he was happy enough to do his best to help.

"Chuchu," Xie Heng called her from inside the room. "Are you back?"

"Yes," Zhao Chuchu replied.

Then Xie Heng probed his way out. "Did you get hurt?"

"I'm fine." Zhao Chuchu walked over to support Xie Heng. "What are you doing out here? I was just talking a little bit with the village chief."

"I was worried about you."

"..."

She didn't see it.
