Chapter 18 She Has a Great Fortune

Gao Lizheng, leaning on his wooden cane, came swiftly.

Gao Lizheng shouted, "Where are the fine young men of Anjia Village?!"

Immediately, eighteen people stepped forward, carrying hoes and other farm tools.

Gao Lizheng walked to a spot about ten feet away from the leader and stopped, smiling as he said, "Hehe, this old man is the village head, surnamed Gao, in charge of household registration, grain tax and other taxes in Anjia Village."

Xia's father, mother, eldest brother, and second brother looked gratefully at Gao Lizheng, who had stepped forward.

Xia Mo's eyes flashed with undisguised surprise.

In the previous life, a similar incident occurred, and Gao Lizheng never stood up from beginning to end.

Xia Mo scrutinized Gao Lizheng with an inquisitive look.

The eight debt collectors from the casino tensed up when they saw the eighteen tall, strong villagers carrying hoes and farm tools. There were only eight of them; they were no match for eighteen.

“That’s right, Zhao Daniu was indeed from our village,” Gao Lizheng replied humbly, with a hint of flattery. “I heard he disappeared eleven days ago, and I helped him cancel his household registration.”

Gao Lizheng paused for a moment, then continued, "Let me reintroduce myself. I am in charge of the household registration, population, and grain tax of Anjia Village. I am not standing up to oppose your casino, but to explain something."

“Zhao Daniu and Xia Mo of the Xia family are not married or engaged,” Gao Lizheng explained with a smile.

Gao Lizheng adopted a very humble attitude, referring to himself as "little old man," which is an abbreviation of "small person, old man."

In reality, Gary was trying to reason with the people at the casino.

The leader glared at Gao Lizheng and shouted, "It's none of your business to meddle!"

Gao Lizheng maintained a humble demeanor and said, "Yes, yes, I'm just being nosy. I just wanted to tell you, sir, that the Xia family's daughter is extremely beautiful and may have a great future. That's why I stepped forward and said that."

Gao Lizheng had no idea that Xia Mo was truly destined for great fortune.

Gao Lizheng didn't think that pretty farm girls from the countryside could have a good ending, but they could still say nice things.

Gao Lizheng's words inadvertently struck a chord with the leader.

The leader also felt that Xia Mo was not simple. In addition, it was strange that the higher-ups had specifically ordered them to make things difficult for a peasant girl. Perhaps this beautiful peasant girl in front of them could really have a bright future?

The leader snorted coldly, said, "This isn't over!" and turned to leave.

The leader lifted his foot, then lowered it, his big toe hitting the ground, sending a piercing pain through him, and his forehead instantly covered in cold sweat.

The eight people who came to collect debts from the casino left Anjia Village, and after confirming that no one was following them...

The leader, barely managing to stay upright, trembled and said, "You two, quickly help me back to the county!"

The seven thugs, unaware of what was happening, took turns half-lifting and half-supporting their leader back to the county. Instead of going back to the casino first, they went to the clinic.

Inside the clinic—

The doctor asked the leader to take off his shoes.

At this point, the leader's big toe was so swollen that it was stuck inside his shoe. Forcing it off would only make the pain and injury worse!

The younger brother helped take off his shoes, but pulled on his toes, causing the leader to cry out in pain. In the end, the apprentice brought a pair of scissors and cut the shoes off.

That kick at the end of summer seemed so light, but unexpectedly it was so powerful!

The doctor, unaware of the bone fracture, still tried to feel it to determine if the leader's bones were intact. The leader was in so much pain that he felt like his soul was leaving his body and his consciousness was fading.

The doctor examined the bone and confirmed that it was not broken.

The leader simply didn't believe it. How could there be such excruciating pain if the bones weren't broken?!

So the leader went to another clinic, and after the same procedure, the conclusion was still that the bone wasn't broken.

At that time, there was no concept of bone fracture. In late summer, it was just that the leader's big toe bone was fractured with a few cracks.

Having suffered twice, they came to the same conclusion: the ringleader unconsciously developed a fear of Xia Mo.

Anjia Village, Xiajia Village—

The villagers who had been watching dispersed.

Gao Li was walking into the main room of the Xia family's house, leaning on his cane.

"Do you know why I stood up?" Gao Li was speaking to the people at the casino. He used to be very tactful and humble, belittling himself as a nobody. But now he spoke directly and bluntly. Two attitudes.

Xia Mo looked at Gao Lizheng curiously. Did Gao Lizheng already know that she was destined for great things?

Gao Li said frankly, "If you yourselves are confused, I can help you for a while, but I can't help you forever."

Xia's father, Xia's mother, Xia's eldest brother, and Xia's second brother were surprised.

Xia Mo understood.

In her past life, she and her family knew nothing, so they were confused for a lifetime.

“I’m not standing here to say this nonsense to you.”

Gao Lizheng cut straight to the point, saying, "You have nothing to do with the thugs. The casino's debt collection this time is unreasonable. Even if the casino has the government as its backer, it cannot use the government to pressure you. What you will face next is harassment and suppression from all sides by the casino."

After Gao Lizheng finished speaking, he waved and left.

"This is smoked wild game that the child brought from the mountains," Xia's mother rushed into the kitchen and stuffed the smoked wild rabbit meat into Gao Lizheng's hand.

Gao Li helped out of proper consideration, and that was indeed a helping hand.

Xia's father, mother, eldest brother, and second brother were all reasonable and immediately stuffed smoked wild rabbit meat into Gao Lizheng's hand.

Gao Lizheng looked at the exquisitely smoked rabbit meat and hesitated.

Such excellent craftsmanship! If it's smoked properly, the gamey smell of the meat will be gone, and it will taste especially delicious. It's a real gem!

"Please accept it," Xia's father said with a smile.

Gao Lizheng felt that the Xia family had given him a lot of face, so he nodded reservedly and accepted the smoked wild rabbit meat.

Gao Lizheng said, "Do you understand what I just said?"

"I understand, I understand." Father Xia nodded repeatedly.

“Well, we’re all from Anjia Village, we’re from the same village. There’s no reason for us to let outsiders bully our own village,” Gao Li said as he left, carrying the smoked rabbit meat.

The subtext is: the Xia family can still seek his help.

Xia's father, Xia's mother, Xia's eldest brother, and Xia's second brother saw Gao off with the utmost enthusiasm.

Not long after Gao Lizheng left, Xia Sange, covered in sweat, his cheeks flushed, and panting, ran into the house.

"Little sister, oh..."

When Xia Sange saw that Xia Mo was alright, and confirmed that he hadn't lost his little sister, he still burst into tears.

Xia Mo felt a little sorry for Xia Sange, her eyes reddened, and she gently comforted him, "Third Brother, it's alright now, let's catch our breath first."

Xia's father, mother, eldest brother, and second brother looked at Xia's third brother with some reproach.

Xia Sange must not have been by Xia Mo's side, otherwise he wouldn't have known that Xia Mo had gone home.

In reality, what would take a normal person 25 minutes (30 minutes) to run up the mountain path was covered by Xia Mo in just a few moments (about 5 minutes).

Xia Sange, who had set off at the same time, was already desperately chasing after them.
