Chapter 49: Argument

By breakfast time, Aunt Lanzhi's skin was exceptionally good today, fair with a touch of redness. She got up in a flurry:

"Oh no, oh no... Xiaofan, hurry up and get up. It's already breakfast time, and my little Li is still waiting for me to go home and cook! Fortunately, no one passed by the orchard, otherwise, both of us would be doomed..."

Aunt Lanzhi said this while feeling pain in her lower abdomen, but gritted her teeth, stood up to get dressed, and even felt a bit of pain at the corners of her mouth when speaking, remembering last night with Zhang Xiaofan, unable to control herself, grabbing her own hair...

This man's flashlight was too terrifying. No matter how he played with it or where he shone it, wherever it went, it caused injury. Ordinary women really couldn't afford to enjoy it; they simply couldn't bear it.

Zhang Xiaofan was drowsy, shielding the sunlight coming through the window with his hand, looking at Aunt Lanzhi's anxious appearance. The two big mountains in front of him were jumping up and down, which was startling to watch.

Knowing that it was getting late, he got up, ready to leave.

"Xiaofan, you mustn't tell anyone about what happened yesterday, okay? We'll leave separately. You go towards Bear Bear Ridge first, take a detour, and then head home.

In a while, I'll come down from Jinji Ridge. That way, no one will suspect."

Zhang Xiaofan nodded: "Mhm!"

He poked his head out to look around, making sure no one was nearby, then slapped Aunt Lanzhi's two big full moons hard:

"Auntie, there's no one outside, so I'll be off first. Your two big moons are really big; they almost drained me dry yesterday. If I have time, I'll come back to keep you company in the orchard."

A satisfied smile appeared on Zhang Xiaofan's lips. Like a thief, he disappeared into the woods.

"Ah! You bad boy, you're so annoying. Auntie needs to recover for a couple of days. If you come during that time, I won't be able to lose weight. Come back in more than ten days! Otherwise, auntie will be forced to go to the big city for hospitalization."

Aunt Lanzhi glanced at Zhang Xiaofan with a mix of love and hate.

Zhang Xiaofan disappeared into the woods, leaving only his voice behind:

"Okay! Auntie, in ten days or half a month, when you've recovered, I'll come back to keep you company in the orchard."

The summer sun was intense, but it was still cool in this big forest, making it the best place to escape the heat.

Zhang Xiaofan returned home and, upon reaching the ancient well, smelled the scent of burnt food from inside the house.

He opened the door and found the stunningly beautiful Village Chief Sister, who, after being touched by Zhang Xiaofan, now had a slender and curvaceous figure, showing a hint of maturity. This cold beauty, naturally charming due to her exceptional beauty, was busy cooking.

Her waist was slender and curved, and the full moon behind her, tightly wrapped in pants, indeed looked like two round footballs hidden inside, truly beautiful.

The beauty and figure of the Village Chief Sister were indeed incomparable to Aunt Lanzhi. In terms of looks, figure, and temperament, she was like a noble phoenix.

And the women in the village, despite the beautiful scenery and clear features, paled in comparison to the Village Chief Sister, like wild chickens among grass.

Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but walk up and hug the Village Chief Sister from behind while she was cooking. The round full moon pressed against him, feeling very comfortable.

Shu Wan'er, suddenly attacked from behind, trembled slightly and immediately turned around, threatening Zhang Xiaofan with a spatula, forcing him to let go.

"Where did you go last night? Why weren't you home when I woke up?"

The Village Chief Sister had a cold expression, but her eyes were soft when looking at Zhang Xiaofan, feigning seriousness as she questioned him.

Zhang Xiaofan remembered last night's events and naturally couldn't reveal them. He coughed a few times and said with a smile:

"Village Chief Sister, I haven't been in the village for ten years. Last night, I wandered around the mountain all night, trying to hunt some game to sell in the city for money.

After all, Village Chief Sister is my woman now, and I'm trying to find ways to earn money to support the family, right? In the future, we'll have children too! It's just a pity that I had bad luck last night and came back empty-handed."

"Who's your woman? Who needs you to support her! I won't bear your children either. What happened that night was an accident, and I was forced by you. Don't think too much about it; I won't be with you."

The Village Chief Sister still spoke coldly, but upon hearing Zhang Xiaofan mention earning money to support the family, she felt a bit moved. Living together like this actually felt quite happy.

However, she was still conflicted. Zhang Xiaofan was still just a child. Did she really want to be a woman to a child? Moreover, Jiulong Village was really too remote. To put it bluntly, even buying a cup of milk tea was impossible. She was conflicted, both loving and fearing, not wanting to marry Zhang Xiaofan and come here.

If she went home now and married the son of the jewelry company's chairman, that young master was indeed handsome and had loved her since childhood, but she didn't like him at all, and she didn't know why.

Maybe it was fate playing tricks on her! Now she truly loved this young rascal, Zhang Xiaofan, this country bumpkin.

"Village Chief Sister, how can you turn your face and not recognize me! My first time was with you, and you want to eat your fill and deny it. That won't do; you have to take responsibility for me."

Seeing Zhang Xiaofan's aggrieved expression, Shu Wan'er couldn't help but burst into laughter. This woman was extremely beautiful when cold, and even more beautiful when she smiled, like blooming flowers, dazzling Zhang Xiaofan.

"Xiaofan, you're not home, so I had to cook by myself. Even if it tastes bad, you have to eat it.

I'm telling you seriously, give me some time to sort out my current messy thoughts and want to be quiet for a while.

Whether I'll be with you or not depends on how hard you try. It's still unknown. Don't touch me anymore, okay? Otherwise, I'll get angry, and once I'm angry, I'll leave this place and never come back."

Shu Wan'er restrained her smile and spoke seriously. Zhang Xiaofan knew she couldn't accept it in her heart and nodded in agreement.

When serving the dishes, he saw Shu Wan'er walking with her legs apart and limping, obviously still in pain. He couldn't help but reveal a wicked smile.

The Village Chief Sister, seeing Zhang Xiaofan's wicked smile, blushed and occasionally gave him a white eye.

During the meal, the two occasionally exchanged affectionate glances. After the meal, the Village Chief Sister took out a laptop. There was no internet cable in Jiulong Village, so she used a wireless satellite signal, which allowed her to use it normally.

"Xiaofan, do you have any plans to change Jiulong Village?"

The Village Chief Sister, holding the laptop, looked at the satellite map of Jiulong Village's terrain and environment and started working, clearly not wanting to wash the dishes. Zhang Xiaofan was speechless and could only clean up the tableware.

"To become rich, we must first build roads. We need to find ways to make money to build good roads, at least to make them passable."

Zhang Xiaofan said while cleaning up the tableware.

Shu Wan'er considered for a moment and then negated:

"Building roads? Too difficult. Building a mountain road from Jiulong Village to Qingyang Town is not only about the mountains, but some places are also full of cliffs and precipices. Building such a road would cost at least fifty to sixty million. Even selling these mountains wouldn't be enough."

Shu Wan'er sighed, clearly having more to say. Zhang Xiaofan cooperated by asking:

"Village Chief Sister, do you have any other ideas?"

Shu Wan'er hesitated for a moment and continued:

"Now the national policy is good for poverty alleviation, building new villages and cities. I've secured a quota for our Jiulong Village residents to move out and relocate to Qingyang Town. Each household only needs to pay 50,000 yuan to receive a house in Qingyang Town, and they will never have to live in this nightmare-like place again. The elderly in the village can also reunite with their sons."

This was the latest good news from the Village Chief Sister. She was very happy to finally be able to help the villagers.

However, she was surprised to encounter Zhang Xiaofan's refusal: "No, the villagers can't move out. Even if they move out, I, Zhang Xiaofan, won't leave."

The two had different opinions and argued. The Village Chief Sister said coldly:

"I am the village chief, and I have the final say. That's settled. Tonight, I will call a meeting for the villagers. Those who are willing to move out can leave, and those who are unwilling won't be forced. Everyone yearns for the bustling city and a better life. If you don't cherish the opportunity and are willing to degenerate, I won't accompany you."

Zhang Xiaofan, who was washing dishes, clearly had a darkened face and paused. He really wanted to shout:

"If you don't want to stay, then get out! I don't need you."

His mouth moved slightly, but he didn't say it because this woman, though seemingly aloof, was very sensitive inside and would definitely be hurt.

Zhang Xiaofan forcibly held back and didn't say a word, clearly unhappy, and walked out directly.
