Chapter 110: Chapter 110 Huo Hanjie Gets Beaten
Huo Hanjie’s house entrance was swarmed with onlookers, some of whom were holding a handful of sunflower seeds, cracking them while saying, “What’s happening again, why is the Huo Family messing with this kid?
Didn’t they learn their lesson from that big trouble before? Really fearless of death.”
Some people who cared more about seniority defended Huo Hanjie: “This scoundrel has been the same all these years, but no matter what, Hanjie is his uncle. Even if there’s deep hatred, it shouldn’t come to this.”
Huo Hanjian didn’t know when he arrived, watching Huo Chen wreak havoc in his brother’s house, he couldn’t help feeling thrilled.
It was his wife who was clever, telling him not to provoke Huo Chen, otherwise there would be bloodshed in his own house.
Tsk tsk tsk, let his brother be insatiable, he deserved it.
...
“Huo Chen, I understand now, your uncle also knows he was wrong, stop smashing things. We only have so little valuable stuff at home. If you smash it all, you’re trying to drive us to death.
Oh Lord, what sin has our Huo Family committed, to have brought in such a creature, I beg the heavens to open your eyes, and strike this man dead with a bolt of lightning,” Huo Hanjie’s wife knelt on the ground, crying out.
“If the heavens really had eyes, they should strike you dead,” Granny Huo, who had appeared at some point, stood in the crowd and yelled angrily.
The crowd immediately parted to let Granny Huo come forward; she looked around and said, “My grandson is not unreasonable.
It’s Huo Hanjie, this shameless thing. Yesterday my grandson earned over ten dollars, you all saw it, this guy, with ill intentions, came to demand money.
You all know, I, Granny Huo, had two sons and two daughters; not one of them is filial.
When my husband had trouble, these kids couldn’t wait for me to die too; they all came to my door wanting to sever ties with me, fearing that I would drag them down.”
“We even signed a severance agreement back then. Over the years, whenever I have been slightly ill, it was Huo Chen who took me to the doctor. He is closer to my heart than my own grandchildren.
When my husband died, he left me two golden bracelets. I planned to give them to my grandson’s wife when he got married. This shameless thing saw them and wanted to steal my golden bracelets.
He even strutted around in my house with a broom, wanting to smash it, and if it wasn’t for my capable grandson, my house would have probably been destroyed long ago.
Now you are all panicked, but when you were doing these wicked things, you weren’t panicked.”
Granny Huo said angrily, her grandson was about to discuss marriage, and this kid didn’t know how to explain himself, always making everyone think he has a bad temper and is unreasonable.
She had to clear her grandson’s name; her grandson was good, earning money and being filial.
“Tsk tsk tsk, Huo Hanjie is really shameless. Back when Granny Huo was seriously ill and almost died, he insisted on cutting ties with her.
Now that things are looking up for her, he has the audacity to shamelessly come over asking for money.”
Mr. Xu heard the news and also rushed to the Huo Family.
Since he had decided to let his daughter marry Huo Chen, Mr. Xu naturally supported Huo Chen. He took on the air of a team leader, standing like a mountain: “Huo Hanjie.
Granny Huo gave birth to you and raised you; even if you severed ties, as her son, you should be filial to her. It’s disappointing that you do not understand shame and even dare to come asking for things.
I think not smashing your house into pieces is already letting you off easy. Huo Chen, you also stop being foolish with this shameless man, take your grandma and go home.
If Huo Hanjie dares to bully you again, just tell me, and I’ll deal with him.”
Mr. Xu finished and glared fiercely at Huo Hanjie.
This was the first time Huo Chen was defended by someone in the village, let alone the team leader.
Suddenly, the villagers’ views of Huo Chen changed in an instant. No matter the reason, it was clear that Huo Chen was now under the team leader’s care.
Whenever they wanted to bully Xu Ying moving forward, they had to consider the team leader’s face.
Huo Chen turned to Mr. Xu with a grateful smile, “Thank you, Uncle Captain.”
With a wave of his hand, Mr. Xu encouraged them to head back quickly and then turned to the crowd of onlookers, “Are you not selling vegetables today? Why are you all gathered here? Go back right now!”
With Mr. Xu’s stern voice, everyone, realizing they had forgotten about selling their vegetables, smacked their thighs and scattered, rushing home faster than rabbits.
At the Huo family’s house, there were hardly any vegetables left, as Granny Huo was old and it was difficult for her to manage growing too many vegetables.
Huo Chen had sold meat, even more than the day before, earning more than twenty dollars directly.
If this were to continue for a month, the Huo family could probably build a new house soon.
Mrs. Xu, seeing that Huo Chen had actually made more than twenty dollars today, had a face that nearly burst with joy, as if the money were her own.
She even had Xu Jingjing calculate, “Twenty a day, how much is that in a month?”
“Six hundred dollars!” Xu Jingjing blurted out.
Mrs. Xu was thrilled, realizing that if you did the math, Huo Chen wasn’t poor at all — he’d be rich in just a month.
It was all thanks to her daughter, who had found such a money-making job.
In just two days, the commune had made a decent sum of money, and Director Sun’s smile hadn’t left his face.
Xu was really something. Why hadn’t he thought of such a money-making idea before? Probably because he didn’t have the connections — Xu really was lucky to have such a capable daughter.
Thinking about an upcoming inspection by the leaders in the area, Director Sun held his head high.
Let them come, he thought. Old Sun wasn’t afraid now. With the commune’s economy having improved so much, he was confident that the commendation for outstanding advancements would belong to their commune this time.
He felt Mr. Xu was the most suitable candidate for the award.
“Mr. Ren, I remember Xu Ying’s brother works as a teacher in the commune school, right?” Director Sun picked up a cup of water from the table and took a sip as he asked.
The man addressed as Mr. Ren was the vice director of the commune, about the same age as Director Sun, but Director Sun liked to call him “Old Ren.”
“Yes, he teaches at the commune school, quite an impressive young man.” Vice Director Ren had a good impression of Xu Shengcai, especially because his own child was in his class.
He always heard from his child how Mr. Xu was such a skilled teacher with innovative methods, and importantly, the child had indeed made significant progress.
“We have one slot every year for a teacher to move to the county school; what do you think about offering it to him?” Director Sun asked.
Vice Director Ren was somewhat surprised. “Wouldn’t that be against the rules? Mr. Xu hasn’t been at the commune very long.”
Director Sun, displeased by the comment, responded, “How long has he been here? It doesn’t matter to me, I’m all about fairness. It’s not about how long someone has worked, but about their intelligence.
If he’s smart, teaching more students in the county will help our nation cultivate more scholars.”

Vice Director Ren’s mouth twitched, thinking, if you old man have already decided, why even ask me!
Seeing that he was silent, Director Sun declared, “Alright, after our careful consideration, Mr. Xu is the right choice; we’ll recommend him for this year’s slot.”
Vice Director Ren became anxious, “Why are you including me in your decision? You old fox, playing tricks again.”
By then, Director Sun had already left without a trace.
