Chapter 247: Chapter 246 Qi’er’s Hometown
Qi’er was adopted, and her adoptive parents took her out to seek medical treatment, exhausting all their resources, and her father passed away on the way.
One could say that, although these adoptive parents were not her biological ones, they were even better than her own.
"Take leave? There’s no need," Su Yang said with a smile. "Go wherever you want, you don’t need to tell me."
With a soft voice, Qi’er said, "Brother Su, you’ve helped us so much; how could I just leave like that..."
"You’re treating me like an outsider again!" Su Yang chuckled and replied, "All right, enough of that. Whenever you plan to go, it just so happens I’m free, I’ll accompany you for a visit."
Qi’er was immediately overjoyed, "Great, Brother Su, I’ll take you to our hometown, our place is so beautiful!"
...
The very next morning, Qi’er packed her things, and a group of them set off for her hometown.
Qi’er’s mother could now walk by herself, so it was relatively convenient for them to move around.
Qi’er’s hometown was rather remote, situated in the mountains of Zhongchang City.
Su Yang asked Hou Shilin to get a seven-seater van; Master Fang was driving, Su Yang and the others sat in the back, and even Xiao Hei followed along.
Fatty, who was capricious by nature, had decisively arrived early in the morning with his luggage, clamouring to go on a trip. This fool didn’t have a clue; they were going to pay tribute to a father, and there he was, ready to go sightseeing.
After half a day’s journey, the group finally arrived at Qi’er’s hometown.
Indeed, the place was so remote it was frightening; the car couldn’t make it to the village entrance.
With no other option, they had to get out and walk into the village.
It was now noon, and many people were eating and chatting under the trees at the village entrance. The sudden appearance of a few strangers made them all look up in astonishment.
Especially the heavenly beauty Qi’er, who made everyone’s jaws drop. They had never seen such a beauty; Qi’er’s looks even surpassed those of the stars on the calendars!
However, the crowd quickly recognized Qi’er’s adoptive mother amongst themselves, and they immediately burst into a commotion.
"Eh, isn’t that Auntie Wu?" a woman recognized Qi’er’s adoptive mother.
"Oh, Hua’er, it’s you! " Auntie Wu, Qi’er’s adoptive mother, also recognized the crowd and was overwhelmed with excitement.
The villagers immediately gathered around, bombarding them with questions. Of course, most of the attention was on Qi’er, as she was simply too attention-grabbing.
When the crowd learned that this beautiful girl was indeed Qi’er, the scene turned even more chaotic.
When they left the village, Qi’er was covered in sores, a dreadful sight, and even the villagers didn’t want to take a second glance at her. Who would have imagined that now, Qi’er had blossomed into such beauty, downright celestial.
After some pleasantries, Auntie Wu and Qi’er finally made their way out of the crowd, heading to the hill behind to burn paper offerings for Qi’er’s adoptive father.
Meanwhile, in the crowd, a sly-looking man quietly slipped away and hurried off on a motorcycle.
Half an hour later, the man arrived at the town and went straight to a billiard hall there.
This billiard hall was owned by Sun Guofu, the local thug, and the man was one of his subordinates. As he entered, he noticed that the atmosphere inside was abnormal; it was much busier than usual, with more than a dozen people inside.
These men were broad and stocky, clearly not the kind to be trifled with.
Sitting in the center was a middle-aged man with a stern face, Sun Guofu, the local snake, stood beside him, nodding and bowing obsequiously.
The man hurried over to Sun Guofu’s side and whispered, "Brother Fu, step out for a moment, I’ve got something to talk to you about!"
"Fuck off!" Sun Guofu immediately glared at him. "Brother Gang is here, and you want me to go out? If I neglect Brother Gang, can you afford the consequences?"
"Brother Gang?" The man was taken aback.
"Yeah, Brother Gang from the county, don’t you know him?" Sun Guofu snapped angrily.
"My god, it’s Brother Gang..." The man immediately started nodding and bowing, but Brother Gang didn’t even glance at him.
"Get out, can’t you see I’m discussing business with Brother Gang!" Sun Guofu cursed.
The man hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Brother Fu, this time... this time, it’s a huge opportunity..."
"What opportunity could be more important than having Brother Gang here?" Sun Guofu glared, this guy was really good at brown-nosing.
"Uh..." The man scratched his head and said in a low voice, "There’s a beauty!"
"Hmm?" Sun Guofu paused, and Brother Gang also looked over.
"What’s so great about a beauty? Haven’t you seen a beauty, nor has Brother Gang seen one?" Sun Guofu glared as he spoke.
"No, it’s not like that, Brother Fu, Brother Gang, I... I can guarantee, you’ve never seen this beauty before!" the man said anxiously. "She’s so beautiful, a hundred times prettier than any celebrity. Right, Ying’er, right? I think this girl is even more beautiful than her!"
"Really?" Brother Gang spoke up, "She’s that beautiful? Where’s she? In your dreams?"
The crowd burst into laughter, the man’s face turned red with urgency, "She’s from our village, came back to visit the graves!"
"Get lost!" Sun Guofu said immediately, "What kind of beauty could come from your village, damn, stop making shitty jokes, your village is just full of country girls!"
"Brother Gang, Brother Fu, I swear on my life, you’ve never seen this beauty, she’s amazingly beautiful!" the man insisted urgently. "If she’s not beautiful enough, you can kill me!"
Sun Guofu and Brother Gang exchanged glances, could this man be so certain?
After a moment of silence, Sun Guofu said, "So what if there’s a beauty?"
"Uh..." the man whispered, "It’s like this, their family owes us money from years ago. Not much, just thirty yuan, but it’s been over ten years. With compound interest, that’d be a lot. If we go to ask for the money and they don’t pay, we could... we could take the girl as collateral..."
The man leaned in close to Sun Guofu and said quietly, "Brother Fu, this girl, tsk tsk, is really adorable, just too beautiful. Miss this chance and you won’t find another!"
Sun Guofu looked at Brother Gang, who pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, let’s check it out. Chen Shao rarely comes down for a visit. If we could find a beauty to keep him company, we’d be doing him a service. When Chen Shao speaks well of us to Brother Biao, Sun Guofu, you won’t just be mixing it up in this town anymore!"
Sun Guofu was overjoyed, "Alright, Brother Gang, I will handle this matter beautifully for you!"
The man was also delighted, knowing there would be benefits for him if this matter went through.
Brother Gang didn’t leave. Sun Guofu brought a dozen underlings and followed the man toward the village.
When they arrived at the village, Qi’er and her group had just come down from the graves and were chatting with people at the entrance to the village.
"Brother Fu, it’s her!" the man pointed at Qi’er.
Sun Guofu glanced over and his eyes went wide, "Does this world really have such beauties!?"
