As his phone rang again, Liu Ergou couldn't take it anymore and was about to turn it off.
Lu Shuangyue saw this and imdiately stopped him.
"Ergou, you should answer the call, just in case it's an ergency. If sothing gets delayed, it might be too late for regrets!"
"Besides, the five of us are right here waiting for you. We're not going anywhere, so just answer the phone first!"
At Lu Shuangyue's insistence, Liu Ergou reluctantly answered the call.
As soon as the call connected, Hu Jing's voice ca through.
"Ergou, what's wrong with you? I've called you so many tis in a row, why did you hang up on every ti?"
Hearing this, Liu Ergou replied irritably, "What do you think?"
Hu Jing imdiately realized what had happened. She knew she had ruined Ergou's good ti, but it was pointless to talk about it now. The damage was already done.
With that in mind, Hu Jing got straight to the point.
"Ahem… uh, Ergou."
"You need to co to the village committee right away. There's a problem, and they need to discuss it with you!"
Hearing this, Liu Ergou flatly refused. "Not going. Why should I go to the village committee? What could they possibly need to discuss with ? I'm not a village official."
"Even if there really is a problem, it should be Uncle Lu's or Liu Jingming's issue. At most, you could add Yun Xi to the list. Why call a villager like over?"
Hearing Liu Ergou's refusal, Hu Jing imdiately said, "It's like this, Ergou, the Village Chief is the one calling for you. Co quickly!"
"From the way my uncle is acting, it seems pretty urgent, or I wouldn't have called you so many tis in a row!"
Although Liu Ergou was very reluctant, he knew he had to go one way or another. After all, very few things could make Liu Jingming this anxious. The fact that he kept calling must an it was sothing important.
Thinking this, Liu Ergou sighed, muttered that he got it, and then hung up.
He dressed himself neatly, then turned to the five won in the room and gave each one a kiss.
"You all heard. There's sothing going on at the village committee, so I'm going to check it out. I'll be back soon, rember to wait for !"
With that, Liu Ergou hurried out.
Before long, he arrived at the village committee. He strode through the entrance and sat down directly across from Liu Jingming.
With a sour look on his face, he said, "Village Chief, what's the big ergency that you had to keep calling over? What, are the higher-ups handing out wives now? If that's the case, you didn't have to call . I'm not short on wives!"
Liu Ergou's words left Liu Jingming speechless.
"Cough, cough. Ergou, don't be so aggressive!" Liu Jingming said, coughing helplessly. "I didn't want to call you either, but this matter concerns you, so I had to."
"Let tell you, I don't know how it happened, but a rich businessman suddenly showed up. He ca to saying he wants to buy a piece of land in the village to develop a rural retreat."
Hearing this, Liu Ergou was dumbfounded.
Developing a rural retreat in Fengzhu Village? This place is in the middle of nowhere. To put it bluntly, birds don't even shit here. How could a rural retreat possibly work?
Seeing the skeptical look in Liu Ergou's eyes, Liu Jingming imdiately tried to reassure him. "Ergou, I'm not lying! I'm telling you the truth! The man had just left when I called you!"
"He told the environnt here is good, with its beautiful mountains and clear water, and that wealthy people love these kinds of places. That's why he's thinking of developing one here."
Liu Ergou mulled it over. The rich businessman's words did make so sense. Fengzhu Village certainly had that advantage.
Still, the whole thing felt a little too outlandish. He had a vague feeling that this was aid at him, but he had no proof.
After so thought, Liu Ergou said earnestly, "Village Chief, this is a good thing. It would benefit everyone in the village. But you have to make one thing clear to him: our village is going to build a factory. A factory and a rural retreat seem like they would conflict, don't they? Are you sure there's no issue?"
Liu Jingming replied, "Of course, I told him about all that, but the boss didn't have much of a reaction. He just said he understood. Then he told he would conduct a site survey when the ti cos to see if there's a suitable spot."
Convinced that Liu Jingming wasn't lying, Liu Ergou said nothing more. He just nodded to show he understood and turned to leave.
On the way back, Liu Ergou kept mulling over the matter. But after thinking for a long ti, he was still clueless.
He'd just have to ask Lu Shuangyue later to see if she knew this businessman. If she did, she might know what was going on.
Soon, Liu Ergou returned ho.
The five won were still in the room waiting for him.
When Liu Ergou saw this, his spirits instantly lifted. In a flash, he stripped off his clothes and dove onto the large bed.
Just as Liu Ergou was about to get busy, shouts erupted from outside the door.
"Liu Ergou, get your ass out here! You hear ? You took my family's land and think you can just get away with it? Get out here!"
Hearing the curses, Liu Ergou's temper exploded. This was the second ti he had been interrupted today. It was infuriating enough to make his teeth ache with rage. At this mont, Liu Ergou was so furious his hair felt like it was standing on end.
Seeing this, the five won imdiately rushed forward to placate him.
"Ergou, don't be impulsive! Murder is illegal! Calm down, calm down!"
"Right, right! You have to stay calm!"
"It's okay, Ergou. The five of us aren't going anywhere. We'll be right here waiting for you, okay?"
"Yes, we'll definitely wait for you, Ergou!"
Hearing their words, Liu Ergou barely managed to suppress his anger.
Reining in his fury, Liu Ergou put his clothes back on and walked outside.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw the people who had been shouting for him. Looking closer, he saw it was the sa group he had just dealt with. The leader's arm had already been set, and he seed to be all right. The n behind him were holding various weapons, each of them eyeing Liu Ergou like a predator.
Seeing this, Liu Ergou couldn't be bothered to waste any more words.
Without giving the group a chance to speak, he charged. In less than thirty seconds, they were all on the ground.
Liu Ergou stepped on the leader's chest and said coldly, "You really have a death wish, don't you? Daring to disturb at a ti like this... you must be tired of living. Tell , how do you want to die?"
