Chapter 112: Chapter 112: She Can Actually Drive?_1

The meeting room at the brigade headquarters instantly fell silent.

Song Yunuan glared at Chu Zizhou with a hostile gaze, "Brigade Leader Chu, you recognize this person, right? Give us an explanation."

Chu Zizhou’s eyes bulged, how was he supposed to explain?

"Explain what?"

"Explain why he ran to my house to kneel first thing in the morning, and also, what’s with all this blood in his mouth, looks like he even lost some teeth. Who beat him up? It better not be pinned on my family. Even if it is, we’re not afraid. In the end, it can all come down to filing a complaint and going through a lawsuit."

Old Mrs. Song’s face darkened, "Zizhou, I, Old Mrs. Song, haven’t offended you, have I?"

Song Liang was about to explain for Chu Zizhou on the other side. It was clear that Chu Zizhou was being wronged.

But then Old Man Song pushed him, and Song Liang immediately shut up.

Foolish son, didn’t you see how respectfully that man was treating Chu Zizhou?

Chu Zizhou quickly said, "It’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Come now, Aunt Song, calm down, Big Brother Song, hurry and tell us what happened?"

Mazi, on the other side, naturally didn’t recognize Chu Zizhou, but it was the first time he saw Master Hai treating someone with such respect.

His heart skipped a beat.

Only then did it dawn on him that Old Mrs. Song and that old woman planned to make a scene at his house.

This simply wouldn’t do.

He wasn’t born out of a rock; he had a father, a mother, a wife, and three children.

His eldest son was in ninth grade, with excellent academic performance, getting into the top high school was no problem at all.

If these old ladies made a scene at his doorstep, it would be the end for him.

Before Song Liang could speak, Mazi, despite the pain in his knee and the teeth he had swallowed, hastily said to Chu Zizhou, "Brigade Leader, it’s a misunderstanding... a misunderstanding, we got it wrong."

He also apologized to Old Mrs. Song, "We didn’t mean anything by it, it’s all a misunderstanding. You know men don’t just kneel for no reason, we wouldn’t kneel at your house for nothing, it was just... Just... just that my legs got sore from riding the bike, and I couldn’t stand steady..."

Even with his garbled speech due to a missing tooth, his message was clear.

Yao Hai looked at Chu Zizhou with a cold smile and felt his head buzzing. How come the son of the Chu family was the brigade leader here?

No commoner dares to contend with officials; if he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have dared to cause trouble on his turf.

He would also have come bearing gifts to pay a visit. After all, he took pride in having made the acquaintance of the Chu family.

Thus, with a nervous heart, Yao Hai’s words were similar to Mazi’s, saying there was actually a bit more to the incident. He claimed that he hadn’t given enough for the incense burner and had meant to add to the payment, but he wasn’t sure how much was the right amount.

He didn’t dare to hide this matter.

If Brigade Leader Chu found out, he would be in trouble.

Old Man Song glared fiercely, "No need to add anything, I came out seventeen yuan ahead in total. Let’s consider the matter closed, and don’t bring up my family in this. I can’t take the responsibility. If one day you change your minds and come asking for money, my old arms and legs can’t handle that."

Chu Zizhou looked towards the Song family members.

Old Mrs. Song said, "As long as you don’t blame my family for the medical bills, we will follow Brigade Leader Chu’s decision."

Chu Zizhou asked again, and Yao Hai was excessively honest. Even if he and the Song family had deep grievances, as long as Chu Zizhou was the brigade leader here, he wouldn’t dare to harbor any ulterior motives.

After all, today’s events were strange.

Those stones, such brute force to shatter his teeth and force him to kneel, to his knowledge, there were few who possessed that kind of strength nowadays.

Yet, that man wasn’t at Erdao River either.

Today was too bizarre.

It made him recall the words the other old man had been shouting about earlier. Could it be that something supernatural was afflicting the village?

Yao Hai just kept apologizing profusely, trying to speak through his hand without letting his speech leak, and in the end, Old Man Song waved his hand and left with the Song family members.

Song Yunuan walked at the back.

As she walked, she said to Old Mrs. Song, "Grandma, let grandpa deliver the wild vegetables later; I still need to bring Sister Zhao two straw hats."

The weaving of straw hats was nearing its end, and Chu Zizhou was preparing to settle accounts and take them away in these few days.

Old Mrs. Song thought that was good.

However, Song Yunuan didn’t head home but said, "You go home first; I’ll go talk to Brigade Leader Chu about something, and later I need to make a phone call to Grandpa Ji."

Old Mrs. Song believed her, knowing there was no danger, after all, it was clear that the man from Beidu feared Chu Zizhou.

And Chu Zizhou was somewhat afraid of Gu Huai’an.

Rounded up, does that not mean that this Yao Hai would be even more afraid of Gu Huai’an?

Old Mrs. Song shook her head in pity, sighing, "Ah, if only Little Nuan really was the Qin family’s daughter, at least there would be a glimmer of hope."

She hoped her granddaughter would marry into a good family that could protect her.

But now, there was no hope at all.

Song Yunuan didn’t know what her grandmother was thinking. Seeing her brother insisting on following, she thought for a moment and agreed.

She took her brother’s hand and stood in the courtyard of the brigade headquarters.

After the Song family left, Chu Zizhou sneered aloud, "Yao Hai, speak, what are you here for?"

He didn’t believe for a second that all this was a misunderstanding.

Showing up at the Song family so early in the morning, it was obvious there was a matter, and not a small one at that.

Yao Hai raised his hand, "I swear, I had no ill intent, just wanted to tag along and make some money. I’m not hiding anything from you, I’ll tell you everything."

He then explained his intentions and speculations to Chu Zizhou, and afterwards, was scolded mercilessly by Chu Zizhou. Yao Hai dared not pursue what he wished and obediently nodded.

Mazi clicked his tongue.

Power really was a fantastic thing.

Song Yunuan didn’t leave but stood in the corner, watching two disheveled men cover their mouths and bow as they hobbled out of the brigade headquarters, watching them go to retrieve their bicycles, watching them nod and bow as they apologized to the elders.

Song Yunuan curled up the corners of her mouth.

After they unsteadily left on their bicycles, Brigade Leader Chu, with a headache, looked at Song Yunuan by the door and said, "Why haven’t you gone home to study yet?"

Song Yunuan looked at Chu Zizhou seriously and said, "Uncle Chu, lend me your jeep."

Chu Zizhou staggered, nearly falling over, and after checking his surroundings, lowered his voice, "Haven’t I said we’ll keep things separate? You can call me Big Brother Chu, or even Second Brother is fine, just not Uncle Chu."

Song Yunuan corrected herself, "Big Brother Chu, lend me your jeep."

Chu Zizhou looked at her warily, "What are you up to?"

"I’ve got some errands to run, I’ll be back shortly."

"You... can you drive?"

Song Yunuan thought for a moment, "Let me have a look at your car keys. With this kind of jeep, maybe I can drive it, maybe not. If I can’t, then never mind."

Chu Zizhou could never have expected that after he handed the keys to Song Yunuan, she would go straight to the jeep shed, skillfully open the door, with Little Asheng hopping around anxiously beside her.

Song Yunuan opened the door for him, and the little fellow climbed up like a monkey.

Song Yunuan closed the door, started the car, and smoothly reversed and turned around. By the time Chu Zizhou reacted and chased after her frantically, Song Yunuan had already driven the jeep to the brigade headquarters’ main gate.

Chu Zizhou’s eyes widened, incredulously watching the scene before him.

Song Yunuan, she could actually drive?
