FID – Chapter 388

Chapter 388: Who Dares, I’ll Pull Out His Tongue!

  The mere statement that the girl was friends with Liu Zhiqiu gave them delight.

  Despite not knowing the truth of the matter, they didn’t ask him even a single question.

  He couldn’t find anyone with a bigger heart than his grandparents.

  Liu Zhiqiu’s worries were indeed founded.

  In the carriage of the Liu family elders and women, the discussion was not less than in the youngster’s side.

  ”Xiulan, Du Juan, what do you think of the two young girls today? Is one of them suitable for our Zhiqiu?”

  Grandma Liu was very excited. Chen Xiulan and Du Juan looked at each other and smiled.

  ”Mother, things are still far away. I don’t think Zhiqiu meant that. I’m afraid it’s impossible,” Chen Xiulan said.

  She’d been quietly observing Zhiqiu’s reaction the entire meal, and he really showed no interest in the two young ladies.

  To quote an adage, he was completely unenlightened.

  ”But I noticed that the young lady named Li Junyue is a bit interested in Zhiqiu. During the meal, she sneaked peeks at Zhiqiu out of the corner of her eye from time to time,” Du Juan analyzed. She was impressed with that young lady.

  Because of Miss Kang’s statement, the two tables were a little frozen at that time, but Miss Li softly spoke and diffused the situation.

  She was a smart person.

  ”That little girl is gentle and fragile. She looks beautiful, but in terms of character, we still have to take our time to observe. When it comes to marrying a virtuous wife, it’s most important to look at the character. Otherwise, the family can not live in peace.”

  ”Indeed, we have to take our time. We can’t rush,” Grandma Liu nodded. “As for that Miss Kang, I’m afraid she and our Zhiqiu temperament are incompatible. Both of them are hard-headed, and neither one of them will give way to the other. If they are together, they will often quarrel.”

  Du Juan said with a smile, “Mom, it’s early, yet you already made your pick. It’s useless for us to say anything here. The key is on that bastard, Zhiqiu. If he doesn’t like her, it’s useless for us to take a fancy to her.”

  ”Aiyo, he’s worrying this old lady. If he doesn’t get married, he’ll be a year older next year. When will I see my great-grandchildren? Zhixia’s side is the same. He has a prospect, but there is still no certainty.” Grandma Liu pounded her chest in worry.

  Why were her two grandsons so different from others?

  Looking around the whole Xinghua Village and searching around the eight villages in ten miles, which family had a male child over twenty years old, but was still unmarried?

  Both of them were twenty-two, the other almost twenty-three!

  Why didn’t they know how to hurry up?

  She still had to put pressure on them to do so. Otherwise, by the time her great-grandchildren could eloquently call her great-grandmother, the two fathers would have been overaged.

  When people looked at them outside, they’d probably regard them as grandpa and grandchild, instead of father and child. 

  Without an entourage trailing behind them, there was no need for them to stage long speeches in the next four wineries. After cutting the red ribbons to herald the opening and congratulating all the villagers, things came to an end. Everything didn’t take much time.

  Their last stop was Shangpo Village.

  Shangpo Village was adjacent to Xiapo Village, and when cutting the red ribbon, Liu Yusheng saw An Cai in the crowd.

  He led some villagers from Xiapo Village to attend the opening ceremony.

  After the previous incident of saving them from typhoid fever, Xiapo villagers never ventured to Xinghua Village again. Later, when the Village Chiefs were summoned to discuss the supervision of the wineries, An Cai also did not appear. She thought Xiapo Village gave up on entering the new Xinghua Village Wineries.

  Unexpectedly, they appeared in the scene today.

  However, she did not say much. The business that was meant to benefit the people was not selective and was for the entire population of Xiangshan.

  Hence, from the very start, she didn’t exclude Xiapo Village.

  After the opening ceremony, and when she was ready to get on the carriage to rush back to Xinghua Village, An Cai approached her.

  ”Miss Liu, people from our village will also be working in the winery.” When imparting this information, An Cai’s gloomy sight never left Liu Yusheng’s face.

  He came over, not to ask her if people from Xiapo Village could come in and work, but just to inform her.

  He wanted to see Liu Yusheng’s reaction. If she didn’t like it, her face was bound to show some signs of it.

  ”I know.” Liu Yusheng nodded, “Pick good candidates and just give the list to the village head who oversees the winery, and then he will be responsible for these things. You are Xiapo Village’s head, so you should know who in the village does solid work and which ones slack. Just pick the right people.”

  After speaking, she helped the elders to get on the carriage.

  Seeing the carriage leave, An Cai stood in the same place for a while before walking over to the villagers waiting nearby.

  ”Village Chief, how is it? What did the Blessed Doll of the Liu family say?” Everyone looked at him nervously.

  An Cai raised his eyes and said, “It’s done. Let’s go back. Whoever gets kicked out for slacking in the winery, don’t blame me for not showing mercy.”

  ”Don’t worry, Village Chief! We will definitely do a good job!” The Xiapo villagers were overjoyed. It was done. They were not rejected.

  When their Village Chief walked past just now, they hunkered down not far from the place to watch with their heart dangling high up.

  Although the situation in the two villages had eased since the last time the Blessed Doll(doll-child) saved a child from their village, it had only eased a little.

  They’ve been afraid that Xinghua Village still excluded them. By then, Xiapo Village would not only watch the prosperity of Xinghua Village, but also watch all villages prosper. Only their village would remain in dire straits.

  But now, everything was settled. It was done, and they could live a good life!

  ”Also,” as if thinking of something, An Cai paused and looked back at the villagers gravely, “Whoever dares to reveal the brewery’s recipe, I’ll pluck his tongue out!”

  The Xiapo villagers all winced. They knew how ruthless their Village Chief was, and he would absolutely stand by his word!

  ”Village Chief, we will definitely not do that. We will keep our mouths shut!”

  The Liu family rushed back to Xinghua Village before it got dark.

  The matter of the winery was considered to be initially resolved. The next day, they could be opened and workers could start work. The needed brewing materials were also ready.

  With the fame of Xinghua Village wine, as long as the first batch of brewed wine could pass the inspection, it could be regarded as passing the test and officially stepping on the right track.

  The moment the women arrived home, they went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, as it was getting late.

  The rest of the people sat together in the hall. The elders were still immersed in the joyful emotion of the completion of the wineries. The people of the villages had work to do, and Qian Wanjin had begun to dream of his mountains of gold and silver.

  ”As long as the wine in these wineries passes the test, we will just sit at home and count our money.”

  ”There is no such easy and effortless thing as sitting and counting money,” Grandpa Liu knocked his head: “Since the business has been laid out, all the more reason not to slack off. You built new wineries under the slogan of benefiting the people, so you must work more seriously than ever before, and be responsible for the workers of the wineries as well as the people and businesses you’d be doing business with. Your responsibility is greater than ever.”

  ”Grandpa, don’t worry, don’t worry. I will definitely be responsible for the people, so that they all have food to eat and increasingly brighter days, just like our Xinghua Village now.” Qian Wanjin held up his hands and vowed.
