Liu Baokun looked at Xia Mo with disappointment, frowned and said, "Liu Ze, you can't leave. Although your aunt is gone, your father and mother have worked hard to raise you. You can't be so greedy and vain and leave with this wild man!"

"Ah... this little brother, it's not right for you to do this. You should go back with your brother..."

As soon as Liu Baokun finished speaking, someone started to help him persuade Xia Mo.

Hearing this, Xia Mo glanced coldly at the old lady who seemed to be trying to persuade him in a good way, and the corner of his mouth curled up. Is this person's surname Hai? If he wants to intervene in such a wide range of matters, he should first understand the truth of the matter, right?

"If it was my son, I would just tie him up and take him back."

"Ugh……"

"That's right, it's better not to embarrass yourself and just go home with Brother Liu...ah!" Seeing that everyone was furious, the scholar's eyes were full of smugness and he hypocritically advised.

But he was still talking the moment before, and the next moment he was knocked to the ground by Ling Chuan's unexpected punch, letting out a painful howl.

Ling Chuan had a stern face, and quickly kicked him in the abdomen. He looked down at him with cold eyes and said in a cold voice: "Say another word, and you will die."

Then he turned his head again, and his sharp eyes swept over those who were whispering, finally falling on Liu Baokun, whose face changed drastically.

When the gossipers saw the miserable state of the scholar and looked at Ling Chuan with a ferocious look on his face, they fell silent for a moment. Some even took two steps back for fear of being implicated, let alone continuing to help Liu Baokun.

Good fight, who can tolerate this, who can't tolerate this, this dog is called a fart, who is he calling a wild man? Who is he calling a mean person? Xia Mo silently applauded Ling Chuan in his heart, then strode forward and took out the official deed that he had just received and was not even warm yet.

He said in a deep voice: "You who are watching the fun should see clearly, this is a deed notarized by the government office. Brother Ling is my husband. You all know how important reputation is to a man. Maybe besides me, there are many people who use this method to bully and oppress others. You better keep your eyes open and don't let others use you as a knife!"

After Xia Mo finished speaking, he looked at Liu Baokun and the scholar again.

"And you, if you dare to ruin our reputation again, I will go to your teacher and ask him what he taught you. If that doesn't work, I will go to the government office to ask if this contract is valid, or if what you say is valid!"

No one present had expected that someone would carry such a thing with them these days. Some people came closer to take a look and immediately saw the official seal on the deed. They exclaimed, "Ah, there really is an official seal. This young man is not lying!"

"Let me see, too. Yes, it's the same as the one at my house, indeed." A middle-aged man stretched his neck to take a closer look, and said in surprise.

"Wow, since there is a deed to prove it, then these two scholars are lying..."

Things took a turn for the worse. When those who were originally indignant for Liu Baokun and the others found out that they were really being used as guns, they were all furious and immediately started cursing Liu Baokun and the scholar.

"You are so naive that you dare to use us to bully a good young man!"

"It's... this young man. Auntie, I was just... oh, I'm so sorry."

Some people called Liu Baokun a backward scholar, while others began to apologize to Xia Mo.

Xia Mo sneered, not sure whether he was laughing at Liu Baokun and the others, or at this group of people.

Faced with the pointing and criticizing of others, Liu Baokun and the scholar surnamed Zhao stepped back in fear, their faces turning pale and blue, and finally purple-red. Even Tang Yue'er beside them was affected.

She was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so she said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first," and left in a hurry.

Seeing this, Liu Baokun and the scholar glared at Xia Mo and Ling Chuan with gritted teeth, then left in disgrace, not daring to continue arguing with Xia Mo.

"You run so fast." Xia Mo muttered, then put the contract away.

He didn't bother to pay attention to those who looked at him guiltily, and turned to Ling Chuan and said, "Brother Ling, let's go too."

"Yeah." Ling Chuan looked at the happy young man and nodded.

After they walked away, Xia Mo could no longer hold back his laughter, "Brother Ling, did you see that? Those two bastards are so stupid that they can't even curse at people and they fainted...hahahaha."

Seeing the young man laughing crazily, Ling Chuan felt a little bitter. Although he was from Liujia Village, he had been away from home for many years and knew nothing about the young man. Even if he knew something later, he couldn't help. Even if he bought the young man, it was because...

But now, he regretted it.

The little brother was very optimistic, but he heard from the villagers that the Liu family didn't treat him well at all. Ling Chuan couldn't help but think of the day when he went to pick him up. The little brother was very weak, with scars all over his body under his clothes...

Ling Chuan lowered his eyes, and the mixed emotions in his eyes could not be seen under the gloom.

"Brother Ling...Brother Ling?!" What are you thinking about? So absorbed?

Xia Mo looked at Ling Chuan with suspicion and got no response after calling him several times.

"Hmm?" Ling Chuan lowered his eyes and looked at the young man. What did he just say?

Xia Mo shook his head, "Nothing, I just want to ask where Brother Ling is going later?"

"It's almost noon, let's eat first." Ling Chuan said slowly.

"Okay." Xia Mo agreed immediately. As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qing's voice came from behind him, "Lingchuan, Ze Ge'er! You are here too... Wow, you bought so many things."

Xia Mo turned around and found that the village chief and Liu Qing had met each other at some point. They had met up in advance, so they went to the snack stand together to eat a bowl of wontons.

After eating, Liu Zheng asked, "What else do you want to buy?"

"No." Ling Chuan said.

Liu Qing also shook his head, looked at the large and small packages of goods on the ox cart, and said, "I've bought them all."

As for Xia Mo, he didn't come here to buy anything, and now, he felt that he was probably the one who spent the most money on this trip.

But Liu Zheng saw that he didn't express his opinion, and remembered his excitement and curiosity when he first entered the city, so he thought he still wanted to go shopping, and said: "Since there is nothing to buy, then go back first. There are a lot of things, and the ox cart will go slower on the way back."

Xia Mo looked up and met his eyes, and nodded quickly, "Yeah, it's better to go back early."

Because everyone bought things, the oxcart on the way back was quite crowded.

They chatted idly, especially Liu Qing, who cast teasing looks at them after he found out that Ling Chuan bought three sets of excellent clothes for Xia Mo.

But there was more relief in Liu Zheng's eyes. That's good.

Xia Mo smiled awkwardly at their gaze, then turned his eyes away and moved his body. However, the ox cart bumped and he leaned back by inertia.

"Hah!" It's over, he's going to fall.

"Ze brother, be careful." Liu Zheng exclaimed.

At this moment, Xia Mo had only one thought in his mind. If he fell down, it would be very painful, but it was too late to save himself. Xia Mo closed his eyes resigned to his fate.
