Rebirth 78: After being jilted at the altar, I reached the pinnacle!

"Boss, what are you saying? I'm already very grateful that you let me manage the steamed bun shop. As for the restaurant, let's just forget about it. I don't have your abilities. Besides, you said you would move the business to other places. You don't plan to stay in Anfeng County anymore, is that right?"

Upon hearing that Li Hanliang wanted to leave the restaurant to her, Liu Lanfang was terrified and shook her head repeatedly.

As for Li Hanliang's decision to move his business to other places, Liu Lanfang was actually happy for him.

But the thought that if Li Hanliang were to move his business, it would mean he might not be able to stay in Anfeng County anymore made her somewhat disappointed.

Seeing this, Li Hanliang naturally knew what she was worried about, so he smiled and patted her head to tell her not to overthink things.

Afterwards, Li Hanliang made some simple arrangements for the restaurant and then went out to the Pei family.

Upon arriving at the Pei family home, Li Hanliang saw that everyone in the Pei family was there, but Pei Shuxin was the only one missing.

In this way, Li Hanliang understood why Pei Zhenguo had come to see him.

"Hanliang, I heard you set up a breeding base in Xiaoliangzhuang?"

"Mr. Pei, you're really well-informed. I did set up a breeding base, and it seems to be doing quite well."

"Let's put the breeding base matter aside for now. I wonder what brings Elder Pei to the restaurant so many times to see me?"

However, Pei Zhenguo did not get straight to the point, but instead used the breeding base as a starting point.

Li Hanliang did not expose him, but continued talking along with him.

However, there are some things that wouldn't be good if Pei Zhenguo said them, so Li Hanliang spoke first.

"It's nothing major. I just heard from Shuxin that you're also planning to take the college entrance exam, but the exam is coming up soon and I haven't heard anything from you. So I thought I'd ask you what's going on and what you're thinking."

Upon hearing this, Pei Zhenguo recounted the story of the college entrance examination.

If Pei Shuxin hadn't mentioned it to him, he wouldn't have known about it at all.

Now that we know, it's natural that we need to inquire about it.

"Old Pei is joking. I do intend to take the college entrance examination, but not this time. After all, my priority right now is to help the villagers of Xiaoliangzhuang live a better life."

To be honest, Li Hanliang would have almost forgotten about the college entrance exam if Pei Zhenguo hadn't brought it up, since he had been so busy lately.

Fortunately, he didn't plan to take the college entrance exam this time, so he explained his thoughts in detail.

“That’s interesting.” Pei Zhenguo nodded thoughtfully. “Your idea is good, but I still hope you can take the college entrance examination first. After all, only by getting into university can you learn more knowledge and then use that knowledge to give back to your fellow villagers. What do you think?”

“Mr. Pei, I understand your good intentions, but Xiaoliangzhuang is at a critical stage right now. The breeding base is just starting out, and there are still many things that I need to handle. Once the situation stabilizes a bit, I will consider taking the college entrance examination next year.”

Li Hanliang's heart stirred slightly at Pei Zhenguo's suggestion.

He understood Elder Pei's good intentions, but the current situation in Xiaoliangzhuang did indeed require his personal attention.

Moreover, the opportunity to take the college entrance examination is not something that will be missed this time; he can still participate next year. That is his current thought.

Upon hearing this, Pei Zhenguo's face showed a hint of relief. "Hanliang, I'm really glad that you have such a sense of responsibility towards the villagers. Then let's do it your way. You should take care of the village's affairs first."

Even so, Pei Zhenguo's eyes still revealed a hint of worry.

He knew that the Jing family was up to no good in secret, and Li Hanliang's situation was not optimistic either.

Just as they were talking, the door was slowly pushed open, and a voice rang out: "Dad, why didn't you tell me that Hanliang was coming?"

"Hanliang, how have you been lately? I heard the Jing family is targeting you again." Pei Shuxin walked into the house with a happy expression. When she saw Li Hanliang, she quickly stepped forward, her eyes full of surprise. "And you've also set up a breeding base in Xiaoliang Village. You mustn't work too hard. If you need anything, tell me. I can help you."

Seeing Pei Shuxin's concerned expression, Li Hanliang felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He smiled and patted her shoulder, saying, "The Jing family has indeed caused me a lot of trouble recently, but it's all been resolved. Don't worry."

At this moment, Pei Zhenguo interrupted their conversation: "Shuxin, go back to your room first. Hanliang and I have some things to discuss."

Pei Shuxin nodded, turned and left the room, but she was a little worried. She knew that her grandfather was going to say something to Li Hanliang.

After Pei Shuxin left, Pei Zhenguo continued, "Hanliang, I've heard a little about the Jing family's affairs. How do you plan to deal with it?"

"Mr. Pei, I came to see you today not only to ask what you need me for, but also to ask for your help. I just don't know what you think?" Li Hanliang said bluntly.

Pei Zhenguo pondered for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "The Jing family is indeed a thorny issue. I guessed you would need my help, and I can help, but before that, I need to understand the current situation in detail."

Li Hanliang was overjoyed upon hearing this. With the Pei family's support, the pressure of dealing with the Jing family would be greatly reduced.

He quickly recounted his experiences and the actions of the Jing family during this period in detail.

After listening to Li Hanliang's account, Pei Zhenguo frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Hanliang, your idea is correct, but we cannot act rashly. Tomorrow I will send someone to investigate and make a decision after confirming the specific situation."

"Thank you, Mr. Pei. I'll have to trouble you then!" Li Hanliang said gratefully.

“What’s the trouble? Even if you hadn’t come looking for me, I would have found a way to get rid of the Jing family sooner or later,” Pei Zhenguo said with a smile.

After resolving the Jing family's matter, Li Hanliang stayed at the Pei family's house for a simple meal.

At the dinner table, Pei Shuxin kept talking, constantly asking about Li Hanliang's recent situation.

Pei Shuxin only smiled sheepishly and stopped after Pei Zhenguo coughed a few times.

"Shuxin, why haven't I seen your brother today?"

After dinner, Li Hanliang took Pei Shuxin out for a walk.

Then he asked why Pei Jianjun wasn't home today.

Upon hearing this, Pei Shuxin shook her head helplessly, "My brother was reported and is still being held in the police station."

"Hmm?" Li Hanliang frowned slightly. "What's going on? Did the Jing family make a move against your brother?"

“It wasn’t the Jing family, it was some of my brother’s competitors,” Pei Shuxin explained. “They reported my brother for suspected economic crimes, saying he embezzled public funds. But my brother would never do such a thing, but he couldn’t find any evidence, so he was locked up.”
