Chapter 396 - 396 Supercilious

396 Supercilious

“Xiao Ning, Grandpa still needs to pick a place to be buried. Mom and Dad don’t want any disturbances caused by unexpected factors in the next few days,” Chu Zhe said softly as he pulled Chu Ning to the side.

“To think that the Laoshan villagers would agree to this kind of village tyrant’s behavior.” Chu Zhang, who was at the side, also didn’t quite understand.

“Alright, Chu Ming. The dead cannot be brought back to life. We need to look forward. I came here today to discuss something else with you. Come, let’s go outside and chat.” Cao Xing patted Chu Ming’s shoulder, then looked meaningfully at Chu Ning.

Ever since Cao Yun was born in Laoshan Village, he had never been afraid of anyone. However, when his father had looked at Chu Ning just now, his heart pounded and he lowered his head.

“Big Brother, I’ll go with Dad.” Chu Ning already had a bad opinion of Cao Xing, and Cao Xing had spoken to her father in a superior tone. It seemed like he wanted to go outside for a private chat. This was unacceptable to her.

“Go on.” Chu Zhe nodded without any hesitation.

“What’s wrong? I have something to tell your dad. Do you want to listen too?” Cao Xing said unhappily when he saw Chu Ning walking out with them.

As soon as Cao Xing said this, the Laoshan villagers outside looked over.

In Laoshan Village, Cao Xing’s power was unquestionable, and no one dared to refute him.

“What do you want to say to my dad?” Chu Ning said calmly.

This kind of person was used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong. In Laoshan Village, he hadn’t met any powerful people and always liked to take the concession of others for granted.

“I say, Chu Ming, you’ve really taught your kids well.” Cao Xing ignored Chu Ning’s question and looked at Father Chu with a weird expression.

“Cao Xing, that’s enough. I’m only treating you this way because of my dead father, but don’t you challenge my bottom line.” Father Chu sighed.

In just two days, he had a lot more white hair on his head. He was already in a bad mood, but the village chief seemed to be determined to make things difficult for him.

Chu Ming had a good temper, but that didn’t mean he had no principles.

However, when it came to Chu Ning, there was no room for discussion. Father Chu would never compromise.

“The second son of the Chu family is really hot-blooded!”

“How rare! I haven’t seen the village chief being talked back to in so many years!”

“Something’s going to happen!”

“Sigh, why doesn’t this family know how to be more tolerant?”

Cao Xing’s face darkened as he listened to the discussions of the villagers around him.

“Chu Ming, are you trying to make things difficult for me?” Cao Xing had been the Laoshan Village Chief for so many years, but he had never been slighted like this.

Cao Yun, who was by the side, clenched his fists even more tightly when he saw this.

If he had not threatened him with his death the night before, Cao Xing would not have ended up in such an unpleasant situation at someone’s funeral so early in the morning.

Even though Cao Xing was the village chief, it was indeed taboo to do this at someone’s funeral.

“Cao Xing, no one wants to make things difficult for you, but you shouldn’t think too highly of yourself. Otherwise, I have many ways to make you lose your position as the village chief.”

Chu Ning moved closer to Cao Xing. Her words could only be heard by Father Chu, Cao Xing, and herself.

“This is the first time I’ve been threatened by a young girl like you.” Cao Xing suddenly sneered. He looked at Chu Ning and did not understand why his son liked this type of woman.

Although she was attractive, she was a rose with thorns!

“Chief, please calm down. You don’t have to make things difficult for Chu Ming, right? It’s not easy for him, and he’s a good son. I just don’t know if there are any good spots left on the back mountain!” At this moment, a rather wretched-looking Laoshan villager walked over and used his unique voice to persuade him.

On the surface, he was trying to persuade Cao Xing, but in fact, he was speaking up for Cao Xing.

After all, Cao Xing was the Laoshan Village Chief.

What this wretched-looking Laoshan villager meant was that if Chu Ming chose to fall out with Cao Xing now, it would be a problem for him to bury his father!

“Chu Ming, hurry up and apologize to the village chief. Are you not going to come back to pay respects to your ancestors?” another Laoshan villager persuaded.

When Father Chu heard this, he unconsciously loosened his clenched fists.

He sighed helplessly.

“Tell me, what’s the matter?” Father Chu seemed to have completely compromised.

He didn’t want his dead father’s soul to be unable to rest in peace.
