Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 85 Kneeling Down to Beg for the First Slot (13)

The villagers from Luo’s village outside all unanimously said, "Village Chief, we heard everything clearly and have made up our minds."

Luo Jiabao nodded, "Since you’ve all made up your minds, come here and sign."

The villagers lined up one by one, waiting to sign with the Clan Leader. Those who had signed had smiles on their faces, relieved that they would no longer have to go hungry.

Feng Tiemu paced back and forth in the courtyard, making his wife from the Shen Family dizzy with his constant circling. She couldn’t bear it any longer, grabbed Feng Tiemu, "Stop pacing, I’m seeing stars, and I’m going to pass out from dizziness." With that, she sat down woozily on a small stool in the yard.

Feng Tiemu looked at his wife, sighed heavily, picked up a stool, and sat down as well. His eldest son, Feng Liang, seeing his father worrying and knowing there was nothing he could do, poured a cup of water for his father and carried it over, "Dad, there’s no use in worrying. Let’s just wait a bit longer. Since Xuxu has already told you, she must have some kind of plan." Then he handed the water to his father and also poured a bowl for his mother.

"Ah, what do you know? Don’t underestimate Xuxu just because she’s young, she’s very resourceful. I bet the villagers made her so mad last time that she’s decided not to use them anymore." He took a sip of water, put the bowl back on the table with force, and sighed in resignation once again.

Feng Zheng came out from the house and, seeing his father sighing, came forward to offer comfort, "Dad, you’ve already done all you can, worrying won’t help, right?"

"Husband, why don’t you go find Xuxu and talk to her again? After all, she’s still in Feng Family Village. She wouldn’t disregard your words, would she?" Mrs. Shen also gave her advice from the side.

Feng Tiemu glared at his wife, "What’s so special about being the Village Chief that she should give me any face?"

Feng En, in the arms of his grandmother Mrs. Feng Li, saw his grandfather getting upset and toddled waveringly into his grandfather’s embrace, "One-one pu seven" (Grandpa, don’t be mad).

The grandfather looked at his grandson with round, innocent eyes, and at that moment, all his anger dissipated. He picked up Feng En, "Oh, my good little grandson cares for me." He kissed the little boy’s cheek with a "mwah," resulting in Feng En’s hearty laughter.

Seeing his son cheer up his father in no time, Feng Liang turned to give his wife a look, making Mrs. Feng Li blush. Feng En played with his grandfather for a little while before he became sleepy, blinked his heavy eyelids, and fell fast asleep in his mother’s arms very soon after.

Feng Tiemu picked up his tobacco pipe and took several deep drags, "I’ll go and talk to Xuxu again tomorrow. If it really doesn’t work out, there’s nothing more I can do."

"Dad, why don’t you bring Feng Hui along tomorrow?" Feng Liang, squatting in front of his father, suggested.

Feng Tiemu took a drag from his pipe, pondered, and said, "Okay, call Feng Youfa, Feng Yousheng, and Feng Yougen too, let’s all go together."

Feng Zheng, hearing his father’s words, disagreed, "Dad, Xuxu and the Feng Family have severed ties, and it was Feng Youfa’s eldest daughter-in-law who made a scene at the time. If you involve them now, wouldn’t that be adding fuel to the fire? It might just upset Xuxu even more."

Feng Tiemu realized this made sense and decided it was better to visit Xuxu on his own.

The following day, as soon as it was light, the Village Chief and Clan Leader of Luo’s village arrived at the estate. The house servant reported to the butler, who, upon learning of the visit, went to receive them while sending someone to inform the young lady.

"Hello, I am Feng, the butler of the estate. May I ask if you are the Village Chief Luo?" The butler, seeing two guests, looked left and right, noticed the older one peering around aimlessly, and the one before him appeared to be searching for someone, so he boldly approached and asked.

"I am the Village Chief of Luo’s village," Luo Jiabao replied, nervously clutching at the hem of his clothes while being so warmly greeted.
