1334 Sever Ties
“Is he thin, not very tall and has a scar on his wrist, as well as dark skin and yellow teeth? He likes to sit with his legs crossed and also has a mole on his face,” Qian’e said, listing down the details.
“It’s Zhao Liu, Zhao Kai’s father,” Zhao Fei said honestly.
“So it’s your uncle who came here. Since we had previously agreed on the terms, then we have to follow them. Qiao Mei said that you don’t have to come and pick up the goods if you haven’t settled your family matters properly,” Qian’e said.
“Sister Qian’e! Give me another chance! I really don’t know that they came here on their own secretly! I swear that I really don’t know anything about this. I’ll go back and talk to them again. At most, I’ll sever ties with them. I won’t let them come looking for you again!” Zhao Fei raised three fingers and swore to the heavens.
“Alright fine, do you think I’m asking you for your life? Rules are fixed but people are not. I have the final say in the popcorn business now, so I’ll give you another day. Go back and settle all the messy stuff. If I see any of the Zhao family members coming here again, don’t blame me for not being nice.” After saying that, Qian’e walked back into the corn courtyard house.
Zhao Fei drove back to the village at top speed, but he did not return to Zhao Liu’s house immediately. Instead, he went to the village office to look for the village chief and told him about everything that had happened. He especially emphasized that Li Gui wanted to terminate the collaboration with them.
The name of this village was “Zhao Family Village”. Other than a few families who moved here later, most of the rest were relatives. Even if they were not relatives now, they were definitely related by blood within the past five generations.
The village chief was like everyone’s elder and was highly respected in this village. Even the worst-behaved person here would listen to the village chief’s advice. Zhao Fei hurriedly helped the village chief to make his way to Zhao Liu’s house.
“Oh, why is the village chief here? You brat, why haven’t you told us that you’re inviting the village chief to our place!” Zhao Liu said.
“Xiao Liu, if I don’t come, I wonder if you people are still going to feed this child!” the village chief said jokingly.
“Village Chief, what are you talking about! Why won’t we feed Zhao Fei? I treat Zhao Fei like my own son and I definitely treat him no worse than my own son, Zhao Kai!” Zhao Liu said exaggeratedly.
Zhao Fei could no longer suppress the disgust in his heart. He could not stand seeing Zhao Liu’s hypocritical look.
“Why don’t you listen to me when I tell you not to go to Li Gui’s house! Why did you go and look for them on your own! Now they say that they don’t want to work with us anymore! What else do you have to say! At most, I won’t do this business anymore and will go back to being a scavenger! I’ll rather become a beggar than have anything to do with your family!” Zhao Fei said as he pointed at Zhao Liu.
Zhao Liu sneered disdainfully. He did not believe what Zhao Fei said at all. One look and he could tell that Li Gui was a kind person and she would never do such a ruthless thing. Besides, he did not do anything that day. If anyone asked, he would say that he had gone to apologize on Zhao Kai’s behalf.
“Who are you trying to trick? Besides, how do you know that I was the one who went? Am I the only one with the surname Zhao?” Zhao Liu quibbled.
“You still don’t want to admit it! She looked me in the face and described clearly what you looked like and what you wore! She even mentioned the mole on your face! Let me put it this way. If anyone goes to look for Li Gui and the others again, we’ll all drop this business! I also won’t return to this village in the future! Even if I starve to death, it’s none of your business!” After saying that, Zhao Fei left the house in a fit of pique.
Zhao Liu still wanted to chase after Zhao Fei and teach him a lesson, but he was stopped by the village chief.
“Xiao Liu, just stay at home for a few days. If you feel bored, then come to my place and play chess with me. I have nothing to do all day. Don’t leave the village for the time being,” the village chief said sternly.
“Village Chief, look at this child. He’s simply lawless! He doesn’t even listen to me! What he said is not the truth. I really didn’t do anything!” Zhao Liu said.
