The man who bought the mushrooms stared at Xie Zhuo for a few more seconds.

Xie Zhuo still had that expressionless handsome face of his, as if he was a little annoyed by being stared at, "What do you want from me? I have to go back to eat."

The man then retracted his gaze and said, "I don't know if you still remember me. I bought mushrooms from you in Xiaojing Lane more than a month ago."

Xie Zhuo pretended to think about it for a while, then shook his head, "I don't remember. A lot of people buy mushrooms from me."

The man frowned.

"Well, can I come to your house and sit down for a while?" the man said again, "Just to make friends. I'm from the city, my name is Wang Xiangdong."

"I'm afraid not," Xie Zhuo refused without thinking, "I didn't cook your meal at home."

"Hey, Third Brother Xie, you did this on purpose," Wang Chao frowned, "We're not going there to get a free meal. Some things are hard to talk about standing on the main road, so we said we'd go to your house."

"Oh, you're not here to eat for free," Xie Zhuo glanced at him, "Then let's go to your house."

As he said this, he was about to walk towards Wang Chao's house.

"Hey, who said to go to my house?" Wang Chao immediately glared and ran over to block him, "I'm already at your door!"

Xie Zhuo didn't say anything. He looked at him for a while, then turned his head and glanced at Wang Xiangdong, and said the same thing, "I didn't cook your meal at home."

"Damn it! I told you I'm not going to eat for free!" said Wang Chao.

"Then let's go to your house," Xie Zhuo said.

Wang Chao didn't let these people go to his house, mainly because there were a lot of things going on at home recently. The "war" between his mother and Zhang Zi had reached a fever pitch. In the morning, the two of them had a fight while they were away.

His mother scratched several bloody marks on Zhang Zi's neck, and Zhang Zi pulled out a small clump of his mother's hair.

I didn’t even dare to ask Qian Yong to take a look, for fear of embarrassment.

A large group of people standing on the road quickly attracted the attention of the villagers. Many people thought something had happened to Xie Zhuo again and came over to see.

When they saw that it was Wang Chao again, their faces turned unhappy.

Recently, Wang Chao has been destroying things in the mountains with his men.

It's nothing.

"Why did you bring people here again?" a big brother asked with a sullen face, "Do you want to fight again?"

"That's right, you didn't get enough last time?" said another older man, "I think you're itching for trouble. Now that your father is gone, you've become lawless, right?"

Wang Chao's face turned stiff after hearing what they said.

"No, Third Uncle," he said, "We just want to talk to Third Uncle Xie."

"Let's chat?" The man called Uncle Three raised his voice. "What to chat about? What is it that requires so many people to block someone's door to chat?"

Xu Yan was waiting for Xie Zhuo and the others to have dinner at home, but she waited for a long time and they didn't show up. She also heard a faint noise, so she quickly got up and went out the door.

A group of people were making a lot of noise just a few hundred meters away from her home.

Xu Yan spotted Xie Zhuo in the crowd at a glance.

"We were just chatting casually when we saw each other," Wang Chao said, "If you don't believe me, ask Xie Zhuo."

As he said this, he turned his gaze to Xie Zhuo.

The crowd was also looking at Xie Zhuo.

Xie Zhuo didn't even raise his eyelids. He had a cold expression just now, but now he frowned slightly, and there was a hint of reluctance in his tone. He said, "They want to go to my house for dinner."

As soon as he said this, the crowd exploded.

"You little bastard, you really don't care about your dignity. Do you think you are no longer a country person just because you hang out with a few city people for a few days?"

"I'm pleading for you for your father's sake. Otherwise, the captain would have sent you all to the police station that day!"

"Bringing so many people to Mr. Xie's house for dinner, are you planning to eat up all their New Year's rations?"

"I'm bringing a bunch of people to his house for dinner today, and maybe we'll go to your house for dinner tomorrow!"

"What happened to the team this year? It's full of such a mess!"

"Fuck!" Wang Chao glared, "When did I say we were going to his house for dinner? Who would eat at this time?"

As soon as he finished shouting, he heard a female voice interrupting him. Her voice was quite loud and crisp, "Xie Zhuo, I asked you to find Dabao and Xiaobao to have dinner, why are you joining in the fun here?"

Wang Chao: "..."

He glared at Xu Yan in frustration, and Xie Zhuo turned slightly to block his view.

It was a farce that ended before the captain arrived.

When Wang Chao and his men were walking back, he looked at Xie Zhuo several times.

Xie Zhuo narrowed his eyes, but lowered them again when people around him looked at him, as if he was threatened.

Wang Chao was furious when he saw this.

Dabao and Xiaobao also returned home before the fun was over, mainly because Xiaoshuanzi loved to watch the fun and would rush in as soon as there was any movement.

But by the time they ran over, it was already over.

Dabao and Xiaobao followed Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo home.

After eating, he ran to the gate to play again.

Xu Yan helped Xie Zhuo rinse the clean dishes with clean water. When there was no more sound outside, he said, "The man next to Wang Chao, is that the one you met in the city before?"

"Yeah," Xie Zhuo put the bowl into the cupboard.

"So why did they suddenly come here today..." Xu Yan poured out the water in the basin, "They didn't come here just to look for you, did they?"

"That should be it," Xie Zhuo said. Seeing that Xu Yan's hands were still wet, he took a clean towel to wipe her hands. "She probably thought of me after searching for wild ginseng for a few days without success."

"Then what are you going to do?" Xu Yan was a little worried.

The main concern is money. It is too unsafe to hide so much money at home.

"I'll go see Lao He tonight," Xie Zhuo's expression was relaxed, as if he had already thought of a solution.

"Going in the evening?" Xu Yan asked.

"Yeah," Xie Zhuo nodded.

Then he pulled Xu Yan out of the kitchen, and saw Dabao and Xiaobao squatting at the door playing from the yard. He walked into the main room, closed the door, and took out a small cloth bag from under a brick.

“I plan to spend all this money,” Xie Zhuo said.

"Spend it?" Xu Yan was a little confused. "How do I spend it?"

With the prices at that time, ten yuan of the Great Unity was almost a huge sum of money. Sixty-five thousand yuan could buy several department stores in the city!

What’s more, there are many restrictions now.

"Didn't Lao He suggest that we go live in Gangcheng last time?" Xie Zhuo said, "We won't go to Gangcheng for now, but we can spend the money there first."

Xu Yan was speechless for a long time.

She stared at Xie Zhuo for a long time, her mind filled with thoughts of how outrageous it was.

Who wrote the original book? It has absolutely nothing to do with this world. She is even more suspicious whether she really traveled through the book, or... the so-called future life is all her imagination?

"What are you thinking about?" Xie Zhuo reached out and gently hooked Xu Yan's chin.

"Ah?" Xu Yan suddenly came back to his senses.

"What's wrong?" Xie Zhuo touched the corner of Xu Yan's eye with his fingertips again, "What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in it."

"It's okay," Xu Yan shook his head.

"So what do you think of my suggestion?" Xie Zhuo looked at her. "It's not safe to keep such a large sum of money with us. We'll be worried all day long."

"Yeah," Xu Yan nodded, still a little dazed.

When Xie Zhuo kissed her, his nose tip rubbed against hers.

The breath is warm.

Xu Yan was forced to interrupt his thoughts and continued to shudder when Xie Zhuo's fingers reached into his clothes.
