The door in front of her didn't move at all, and the people inside didn't seem to hear what she was saying at all. Instead, the people coming and going around looked over here, either out of curiosity or to watch the fun.

Liu Xiaohua was furious and said, "What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I will have you keep your eyes open."

Xie Chengjin turned around and told Su Zhizhi the news that Liu Xiaohua came to see him.

Su Zhizhi was also a little surprised after hearing what Xie Chengjin said. "I guessed Liu Xiaohua would come to see you, but I didn't expect her to be so impatient. We just closed the store yesterday, and she's here today?"

Xie Chengjin was very helpless. He was disgusted by Liu Xiaohua's remarks just now. He felt a chill when he thought that he would be forced to this point by a woman like Liu Xiaohua.

Su Zhizhi was a little amused. She didn't expect that Xie Chengjin hated Liu Xiaohua to this extent.

But then, Su Zhizhi became worried again. "Liu Xiaohua came to you now. I guess it means that Mr. Liu has already decided that Laiyue Tower has no chance of recovery. He may not do anything to Laiyue Tower anymore, but what you said today must have irritated Liu Xiaohua. I'm afraid she will attack me again. She will definitely not be willing to touch you, but as long as I'm gone, she will do it to you."

Xie Chengjin obviously hadn't thought about this level, and his face instantly tensed up. He even felt a little annoyed about why he had provoked Liu Xiaohua just now.

But things had come to this point, and there was no way to salvage the situation. After a moment of silence, Xie Chengjin said, "Why don't we go back to the village and hide for a while? That way, Liu Xiaohua won't be able to track us down in the village."

Su Zhizhi sighed slightly, "But don't forget, we rented out the house after we came to the county town. Even though she's an orphan and a widow, we can't bully her."

"Of course I know that, but the current situation is special. If we continue to stay in the county, it will be disadvantageous to all of us. After all, this is still a territory that Mr. Liu can interfere with. If Liu Xiaohua is really angry, it will be very easy for him to attack us, and we won't be able to hide at that time." Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi analyzed the current situation.

Su Zhizhi nodded and said, "How about this, I'll go to the village tomorrow and ask the tenants about the situation first."

Xie Chengjin was about to say that he would go along, but was interrupted by Su Zhizhi, "You just stay at Laiyue Tower, I'll go by myself. I'm worried about leaving A Niang here alone. If you're here, Liu Xiaohua won't really do anything to Laiyue Tower."

"What if she sets her sights on you when you're alone?" Xie Chengjin still disagreed.

Su Zhizhi shook her head, insisting on her decision. "I'm on my own and my target is small, so I can handle it. It won't take too long to go back and forth, so don't worry."

Seeing this, Xie Chengjin no longer insisted. Although he was still worried, he didn't say anything more.

The next day, Su Zhizhi returned to the village early in the morning and went to her original house without disturbing anyone.

Although it was still a little early, when Su Zhizhi arrived, the woman had already gotten up and was busy in the yard. She was a little surprised to see Su Zhizhi coming and quickly welcomed him in.

"Boss, why are you here at this time? I haven't prepared anything yet. I'm sorry to embarrass you." The woman smiled at Su Zhizhi embarrassedly.

Su Zhizhi politely returned the greeting and calmly looked around the entire yard. Although this woman was a widow, she was efficient at work. Although the yard was not big, it was well kept.

The woman noticed Su Zhizhi's gaze and thought that Su Zhizhi was somewhat dissatisfied with her behavior, and suddenly became nervous.

Noticing the woman's reaction, Su Zhizhi said awkwardly, "Since you're older than me, I'll just call you Big Sister..."

Su Zhizhi carefully worded her request. The woman was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand and said, "Don't be embarrassed. Everyone has difficulties. It's understandable. I'm taking my child to school in town, so I won't be living in the village anymore. I was thinking of talking to you about the rent someday."

Hearing this, Su Zhizhi felt less guilty and quickly agreed: "Don't worry, the rent I owe you will not be less." After that, Su Zhizhi took out the silver bills he had with him, counted the rent, and handed it to the woman.

After the house issue was resolved, Su Zhizhi returned to Laiyue Tower without stopping. At this time, Xie Chengjin was talking with Meng. Seeing Su Zhizhi coming back, Meng hurried to greet her.

"Zhizhi, what happened?" Meng's face and tone were full of worry, and her hand on Su Zhizhi's arm was tightly clenched.

Su Zhizhi knew she couldn't keep this a secret, so she confessed to Meng, "...Mother, this is what's going on. We're going back to the village to live for a while, but it won't be long. Just think of it as a chance to relax."

Meng also knew that she could not help much in this matter, and could only try her best not to cause trouble for Su Zhizhi.

Although they didn't want to disturb too many people, the news that Su Zhizhi and her group had returned to the village somehow reached the ears of the old lady and the second branch of the Su family.

Li couldn't contain her gloating mood and ran to the residence of Su Zhizhi and others first.

At this time, Su Zhizhi and his group were still packing the luggage they brought with them. Although it was not much, they had to be put away properly.

When Li arrived, they were still busy. Seeing this scene, the smile on Li's face became even more unconcealable.

"Hey, who is this? Isn't this my third brother's wife? What's wrong? Can't you stay in the county town anymore? Do you think things are better in the village? What did I say before? People should know themselves. You don't even look at your own worth, but you want to follow others and make a living in the county town. Bah!" Li was originally a very vicious person. Now she was even more mocking. She was even more careless with her words and said whatever nasty things she wanted.

Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin were fine, they didn't take Li seriously at all, and just ignored her words, thinking she was just talking nonsense.

But Meng was still a little fragile mentally. When she lived in the county town, she had lost her appetite because she was worried about the restaurant every day. Now, she was provoked by Li and became so excited that she fainted in front of Su Zhizhi.

Xie Chengjin hurriedly helped the person to rest, while Su Zhizhi, with a gloomy face, blocked Li's way and said, "Second aunt, you should be more careful with your words. Trouble comes from the mouth. You don't want to cause unnecessary trouble because of your mouth."
