Mountain village beauty: Brother, don't stop!

Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Shameless Zhao Youquan

Wang Hao didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, "I have a daughter who’s supposed to start elementary school in town, but I heard that the principal is going to expel her. Could you possibly..."

Sun Lao Er looked shocked and said, "Your daughter is that old?"

"No, I didn’t express myself clearly, it’s not my daughter, but a friend’s daughter."

Wang Hao felt a bit embarrassed by this sudden question but felt quite happy inside since in his heart he had already considered Ya Ya as his own daughter. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Of course, that’s no problem, just tell me her name."

Sun Lao Er agreed readily with a look of cheer on his face.

"Her name is Ding Xiaoya, she’s 7 years old, and is about to start elementary school."

Wang Hao briefly explained Ya Ya’s situation.

"Why does she also have the surname Ding? She couldn’t be related to Ding Li, could she? I’m telling you, you’d better stay away from that bastard Ding Li."

Sun Lao Er frowned and cautioned him.

"No, she’s just a relative of mine. I’ll leave this matter in your hands."

Wang Hao felt somewhat guilty, as it wasn’t a good time to tell people that Zheng Cailian was his woman.

Sun Lao Er did not continue to inquire and nodded before saying goodbye to Wang Hao, then returned to the gambling den.

Wang Hao also carried his bag and hurried home.

After reaching home, Huang Yufen saw Wang Hao bringing back so much money and was delighted beyond measure, praising her son’s competence and promising future nonstop.

Seeing the joy of the two elders, Wang Hao was also very happy and shared his upcoming plans with them.

"Mom and Dad, I need a favor from you. Could you ask the villagers nearby if anyone is willing to lease their land to me? The price is negotiable, twenty percent above the market rate."

"I can also hire them to work here for me. As soon as I get the equipment, I can start growing seedlings and planting."

Hearing their son’s grand plans, Wang Dazhu and Huang Yufen were not overjoyed but worried instead.

"Son, you might want to delay this. There’s still talk of Zhou Mazi monopolizing the land, and everyone will definitely have a negative view on leasing land. Besides, if Zhao Youquan and Zhou Mazi find out you’re competing with them for the land, what if they retaliate against us?"

Huang Yufen’s concerns were indeed valid, but Wang Hao had his own plans.

"Don’t worry, Mom. Zhou Mazi is into fish farming, which at the earliest takes a year and a half to pay off. Our greenhouse planting is different, though; the yield is fast, and we can plant all year round."

"Even if we don’t plant ourselves, we can let the villagers plant. We can then help them sell their produce—isn’t that better than fish farming?"

After hearing Wang Hao’s comforting words, the two elders began to relax their worries little by little.

"Old lady, let’s just let our son do it!"

Wang Dazhu spoke with heavy emphasis to reassure Huang Yufen.

These days he had seen clearly that his son had grown up. After working hard to send him through college, it was time for him to achieve something that would make them proud.

Huang Yufen, hearing this, said no more; after all, it was her son who would be taking on a proper job sooner, paving the way for him to find a wife in the future.

"Mom and Dad, I’ll first go and see Sister Cailian; I heard that her family has a total of ten acres of land. I’ll see if I can..."

Telling his parents about leasing land was just an excuse; in truth, he hadn’t seen Zheng Cailian for several days and was missing her.

"Pillar, not to criticize you, but you should visit her less often. You’ll be seriously seeking a wife in the future. Don’t keep messing around with a widow; no girl will dare marry you then."

"Oh Mom, don’t worry. I’m going there for proper business. If anyone dares to gossip, I’ll tear their mouths apart."

"I think you’re too concerned about her. Even though Cailian is a decent person, she has a child and is considered a ’husband killer,’ sigh..."

Huang Yufen couldn’t help but sigh. Although she felt sympathy for Zheng Cailian, she couldn’t let her son take that risk.

"Alright, alright, Mom, don’t forget the task I asked of you. I’ll get going now."

Wang Hao quickly changed the topic and, after speaking, ran straight to Zheng Cailian’s house.

Arriving at the entrance of the village, Wang Hao saw that Zheng Cailian’s front door was wide open. He wanted to surprise Zheng Cailian, but he could faintly hear arguing inside. The closer he got, the louder the voices became.

"Zheng Cailian, think carefully about the consequences of what you say and do. If you don’t hand over the land today, we’ll see each other in court and forget about your daughter going to school." frёeωebɳovel.com

A rough male voice came through. Wang Hao listened carefully. Wasn’t that Zhou Mazi?

This bastard, why has he come to Sister Cailian’s house too?

"I will not agree to give up the land. As for going to court, suit yourselves!"

Zheng Cailian’s voice was filled with disdain and anger. She knew they were bullying her because she was a widow with a young daughter, but she could not compromise this time.

"Don’t be so tough. Ding Li has already agreed. Just hand over the land, and we promise to leave you alone in the future."

"If this really goes to court, it will be a considerable expense. Can you afford it with your current situation?"

"After spending the money and still losing the land, that would be a bad deal. As the village head, I’m also considering your and your daughter’s wellbeing."

Wang Hao was stunned when he heard this. Was that old bastard Zhao Youquan here too?

"Hmph, don’t take me for a fool. I know you want me to lease the land to you for fish farming, but what if you stop renting after a year or so? What happens to the excavated land then? I won’t be able to farm, right? You can forget about it; I won’t lease it to you."

Zheng Cailian was adamant, refusing to play their game.

"What are you saying? Are you cursing me not to last long? If they hadn’t told me your land was the best situated for fish farming, I wouldn’t even consider renting it. How about this: I’ll give you double the price. Think it over carefully."

Zhou Mazi continued to coax Zheng Cailian, trying to tempt her with money.

"No need to think about it. Go back; I’m not renting!"

Zhao Youquan saw that Zheng Cailian was neither soft nor hard, so he had to pull out his trump card.

"Look here, Zheng Cailian, do you still want your daughter to go to school or not?"

As soon as he mentioned her daughter, Zheng Cailian’s brow tightened, it seemed these two had come prepared today.

"I..." Zheng Cailian was so angry she couldn’t speak.

Standing outside the door, Wang Hao could hear everything clearly. That old scoundrel Zhao Youquan was in cahoots with Zhou Mazi, trying to get Zheng Cailian to rent the land to them. When they saw that Zheng Cailian was not agreeing, they resorted to threats.

Wang Hao could no longer bear it and strode in.

"Yo, I heard people talking from quite a distance. Turns out it’s the village head who has come."

"Hao, what are you doing here?" Zheng Cailian was both alarmed and delighted to see Wang Hao, and the anxiety in her heart momentarily settled.

"I happened to have something to discuss with you. I didn’t expect to find the village head at your place."

After finishing his words, Wang Hao looked towards Zhao Youquan and Zhou Mazi with a smile.

"What are you doing here?"

Zhao Youquan was taken aback when he saw Wang Hao.

Originally, they had intended to find Zheng Cailian when nobody was around, planning with Zhou Mazi to strong-arm the land from her, but they hadn’t expected Wang Hao to show up at this time.

"I’m here to speak up for Sister Cailian. I heard everything you said. Failing to incite her, you even used Ya Ya to threaten Sister Cailian. Village head, aren’t you acting too despicable?"

"Fuck, do you even know who you’re talking to? This has nothing to do with you; get the hell out!"

Zhou Mazi, seeing his plans about to be ruined, lost his patience.

Zhao Youquan stood up calmly and huffed, "And who are you? What gives you the right to meddle in her family affairs?"

"I don’t need any right, but I do know this is an abuse of power and an attempt to seize Sister Cailian’s land."

Wang Hao was just as defiant, hitting Zhao Youquan’s sore spot.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Youquan got flustered.

"You’re talking bullshit! Don’t slander people!"
