Chapter 121: A dragon is not meant to be kept in a pool!

"That's enough, I'm happy that you have this intention, Auntie. Save it for your daughter-in-law and children to eat.'

Auntie Zhang also laughed. It didn't matter who caught the fugitive.

Gu Chen and Ji Pianran, you are both good!

Li You'e stood at the window, stunned for half a day, and it was only now that she had completely sorted things out.

This Gu Chen had saved her life!

It turned out that the person who stole her money was actually a murderer.

At the time, she was indignant and wanted to find the person.

Fortunately, Gu Chen lent her 100 yuan and persuaded her for a long time.

If I had continued to make a scene, the murderer might have become angry and I would have lost my life.

I would still be cooking for my daughter and grandchildren, and my family would have to hold a funeral.

When I think about it, Gu Chen not only lent me a hundred yuan, she saved my life!

The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. She was truly grateful to Gu Chen.

Li You'e pinched the corner of her shirt, walked up to Gu Chen, and grabbed her hand.

'Chen, I won't say anything else, but we must go to your aunt's house for dinner tomorrow, no matter what! We must thank you properly!'

Tian Laosi never spoke, and just looked at Gu Chen from afar, holding a hoe in his hand.

At the moment, he was just full of envy.

If only he were Gu Chen.

Not only would he be able to earn money, he would also be able to catch murderers, and the police would even come to his door to present him with a silk banner.

What a glorious thing to do.

But if it were him, he probably wouldn't go out of his way to catch anyone.

As one gets older, one has more concerns, and one is not as impetuous as one was when younger.

As they were talking, there was another knock at the door.

The iron door was rattling.

Auntie Zhang was closest to the door and heard the knocking. She thought it was just the neighbours dropping by for a chat, after all, this was considered a big deal in the village.

So she quickly walked to the door with a smile on her face.

When she saw who was there, the smile on her face instantly turned to surprise.

The person at the door was actually the village chief!

'Village chief? Why are you here?'

The village chief nodded at Auntie Zhang.

'It's me. I heard that the police car was coming to our village, so I hurried here, afraid that something big had happened. I'm afraid I'm still a bit late.'

The village chief was originally at his family's funeral. In theory, it was only the third day, and he still had to observe the mourning period.

He heard that the police car was here, and he was afraid that something big had happened that he didn't know about.

He didn't want people to say that as the village chief, he didn't care about anything and did nothing, and that he didn't care about the people...

So, he rode his bike straight to Gu Chen's house.

Unfortunately, two wheels just can't compete with four.

Everyone had already left, and the village chief arrived only then.

'Hey, you don't know, village chief...'

Before the village chief even entered the door, Auntie Zhang added fuel to the fire by praising Gu Chen.

She said that he had used the Eighteen Palms of Dragon Suppression to knock the fugitive flat on his back, and that his Lingbo Microstep had made it impossible for the fugitive to get a grip on him even though he was holding a knife...

The village chief listened with a frown.

Good grief, you've told me all the kung fu moves from the TV series.

So Gu Chen is not a vegetable seller, but a kung fu master.

But after listening to Auntie Zhang, he also understood that the police had come, and it was not a bad thing!

Not only was it not a bad thing, it was a good thing!

It was Gu Chen who caught the fugitive, and they came to present a silk banner and a prize money!

In previous years, he would have been selected as an outstanding young person in the county, and the village chief would have been able to bask in the glory.

'Auntie, I didn't realise you could tell stories!'

Gu Chen was dumbfounded. Auntie Zhang's mouth really could spin out words.

She made Gu Chen sound like a hero, and he felt a little embarrassed.

Ji Pianran, on the other hand, didn't say a word, but there was a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth the whole time.

Her Gu Chen is a big hero!

Not only can he protect her and the baby, but also others.

However, if she encounters this kind of thing next time, she still doesn't want Gu Chen to take risks.

She doesn't want the good life she has just begun to come to nothing.

The village chief walked over to Gu Chen with a smile on his face and patted him on the shoulder in appreciation.

'You're a good lad!'

At 1.8 metres tall, he is good-looking and doesn't look like the little hooligan everyone says he is.

As expected, hearsay cannot be trusted.

'Sorry for the trouble,' Gu Chen looked at the village chief and felt a little guilty.

After all, the village chief had a funeral in his family, and he felt a little apologetic for troubling him to make the trip.

Upon hearing this, the village chief smiled and shook his head.

'It's fine. The old lady passed away peacefully. After all, she was old, and she lived a long life without illness or disaster. This is a happy funeral.'

It sounded like he was talking to Gu Chen, but also like he was talking to himself.

After all, he was approaching the age of fifty, and had reached the age of knowing one's destiny.

He had long since let go of many things, and understood that birth, aging, sickness, and death are things that no one can change.

But then he remembered.

Gu Chen's calligraphy was really quite good.

'By the way, thanks to the couplets you wrote. I didn't realise you had such a talent. Your handwriting is beautiful.'

The village chief's family was originally a large family, and after the death of the mother, many relatives came to the house.

Gu Chen's couplets really earned him some face.

Gu Chen smiled and said, 'You're too kind. I was just helping Uncle Wang. His calligraphy is really good. Mine is just a start.'

He was always humble in his speech.

It wasn't that he was belittling himself, but he was afraid of drawing too much attention to himself.

Gu Chen had experienced this in his previous life.

In this life, he didn't want to compare himself to others, and just wanted to earn an honest living and lead a good life with his wife and children.

As for the rest, as long as he can live with himself, it doesn't matter what others say.

He doesn't care.

The village chief looked at Gu Chen and saw that he was humble, kept a low profile, and spoke politely. There are really not many young people like this.

He couldn't help but feel more appreciation for the young man in front of him.

'By the way, I heard that you are doing quite well selling vegetables. If there is anything I can do to help, please remember to come to me.'

As the village chief, he is happy to help the villagers solve their problems, especially young and capable people like Gu Chen.

A little help may just be the push they need to take off.

After all, everyone has difficult times. Gu Chen is just a vegetable seller now.

But I can see the qualities in this boy.

Just look at the fact that he dared to catch a fugitive with his bare hands.

It shows at least one thing: Gu Chen is not a coward!

That's how it is in life. As long as you don't give up easily, you will achieve great things one day!

As the saying goes, a dragon is not meant to stay in a pond.

Men, the thing they fear most, is not progressing.

He felt that Gu Chen was that dragon!

Gu Chen didn't expect the village chief to be so enthusiastic, but after hearing what the village chief said, he did remember something.

That was that he lacked land!

Although the family now has a greenhouse, it is for Cordyceps sinensis, and there is only so much room.

He has so many wolfberries in his hands, and today Boss Zhao already became curious about the origin of his wolfberries.

It is hard to prevent others from suspecting in the future.

Without land, it is always hard to explain.

He needs land, and not just a little bit, at least 20 mu.

With this land, he will not be afraid of people asking questions again, and if the system gives him any other seeds in the future, he will have somewhere to plant them!
