Zhao Guangcai finished selling the wild chickens he brought at the market.
"Zhao Guangcai, you're amazing! You sold all the wild chickens in just one morning," his companion said.
"Today’s luck is good," Zhao Guangcai replied with a smile.
"Yeah, I only sold one today," his companion sighed.
"Don't worry, you'll definitely sell them all next time," Zhao Guangcai comforted.
"I hope so," his companion said.
"Zhao Guangcai, did you see that?" his companion asked again.
"See what?" Zhao Guangcai inquired.
"There was a black sedan," his companion said.
"A sedan?" Zhao Guangcai responded, puzzled.
"Yeah, over there," his companion pointed into the distance.
Zhao Guangcai looked in the direction his companion was pointing and only saw the back of a sedan disappearing into the crowd. He felt it looked somewhat familiar but didn't think much of it.
"Uh-huh, I saw it," Zhao Guangcai nodded.
"Really impressive," his companion said enviously.
"Do you like that kind of car?" Zhao Guangcai asked.
"Yeah, I want to buy one too," his companion replied.
"Then work hard for it," Zhao Guangcai said, patting his companion on the shoulder.
"I will," his companion said firmly.
"It's getting late; let's go," Zhao Guangcai suggested.
"Okay," his companion nodded.
Zhao Guangcai shouldered his basket and walked out of the market with his companion. Suddenly, Zhao Guangcai remembered something.
"You guys go ahead; I have something to take care of," Zhao Guangcai said.
"Zhao Guangcai, is there anything else?" the Companion asked.
"I have some personal matters to attend to," Zhao Guangcai replied.
"Oh, then we'll leave first," the Companion said.
"Mm," Zhao Guangcai nodded.
After the Companion left, Zhao Guangcai turned and walked into the market.
He remembered he had promised Xiaoxiao to bring her something.
How could he go back on his word?
Thinking this, a smile appeared on Zhao Guangcai's lips.
"Zhao Guangcai, why are you back again?" the uncle who had been with him earlier asked.
"I have something to take care of," Zhao Guangcai said calmly.
"What is it this time?" the uncle asked impatiently.
"Why should I tell you?" Zhao Guangcai replied coldly.
"Did your Wife scold you again?" the uncle asked.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhao Guangcai said angrily.
"I'm just reminding you that you're a man and shouldn't always be controlled by your Wife," the uncle said.
"My matters are none of your business," Zhao Guangcai said in a cold voice.
"I'm just looking out for you," the uncle insisted.
"I don't need you to look out for me," Zhao Guangcai replied.
"You really are stubborn," the uncle said angrily.
"My affairs have nothing to do with you, so mind your own business," Zhao Guangcai stated firmly.
"I'm just trying to help, and you're treating it like an insult," the uncle said in frustration.
"I can't afford your so-called help," Zhao Guangcai retorted.
"You..." The uncle was so angry he couldn't find words.
"I'm leaving," Zhao Guangcai said before turning away.
"You..." The uncle pointed at Zhao Guangcai's back, trembling with anger.
"Brother Guangcai, don't stoop to his level," the Companion advised.
"I know." Zhao Guangcai nodded.
He was quite polite to Companion, after all, they had been together for a long time and were familiar with each other.
However, he was not as courteous to the uncle because he hated others meddling in his personal affairs.
Especially when it came to matters involving Xiaoxiao, he disliked others interfering even more.
His relationship with Xiaoxiao was not something for others to judge.
Zhao Guangcai suppressed his emotions and walked into the market.
Zhao Xiaosong had arrived.
This news quickly spread throughout the village.
Everyone had heard that Zhao Xiaosong was a young master from the capital, of noble status.
So, everyone rushed to see the commotion, eager to find out what this legendary young master was like.
In no time, a crowd gathered at the entrance of the village.
Zhao Xiaosong sat in the car, looking at the crowd outside with a furrowed brow.
He did not expect his arrival to cause such a stir.
Had he known this would happen, he would have come quietly and left quietly.
Unfortunately, there is no remedy for regret; he was already here.
Moreover, he was surrounded by the villagers.
His car was encircled by the villagers, leaving him in a dilemma with no way to advance or retreat.
"Young Master, what should we do?" asked the driver, Xiao Li.
"I'll go take a look," Zhao Xiaosong replied.
"Understood," Xiao Li nodded.
Zhao Xiaosong opened the car door and got out.
Seeing Zhao Xiaosong step out of the car, the villagers took a few steps back, clearing a path for him.
Zhao Xiaosong felt a bit uneasy at the villagers' gazes; it seemed they regarded him as a formidable threat.
"Hello everyone," Zhao Xiaosong said.
The villagers remained silent, simply watching him quietly.
"What happened to you all?" Zhao Xiaosong asked.
The villagers remained silent.
"Could you please move aside and let me pass?" Zhao Xiaosong said.
The villagers still did not budge.
Zhao Xiaosong felt helpless; what did these villagers want?
At that moment, the village chief rushed over.
He shouted through a megaphone, "What are you all doing here? Hurry back home!"
Hearing the chief's voice, the villagers slowly dispersed.
"Are you Young Master Zhao?" the village chief asked.
"Yes," Zhao Xiaosong nodded.
"I'm really sorry; the villagers haven't seen much of the world and disturbed you," the village chief apologized.
"It's fine, I don't have anything important to do," Zhao Xiaosong replied.
"Where are you headed?" the village chief asked.
"I want to go to the Li Family," Zhao Xiaosong said.
"The Li Family?" The village chief was taken aback for a moment.
"Yes," Zhao Xiaosong nodded.
"I'll take you there," the village chief offered.
"No, it's alright; you go about your business," Zhao Xiaosong said.
"It's no trouble; I'm not busy," the village chief insisted.
"Really, it's not necessary, thank you," Zhao Xiaosong replied.
"Alright then, please be careful," the village chief said.
"I will," Zhao Xiaosong assured him.
"After you," the village chief said.
Zhao Xiaosong got into the car, and driver Xiao Li drove forward.
Although the villagers still wanted to watch the commotion, they returned home out of respect for the village chief's authority.
