Chapter 69: A Closer Look

Zhou Cheng is not a fool after all. When he heard Zhou Tao say that he was looking for Zhou Cheng's mother, he knew that something was wrong. But he couldn't lie in front of Zhou Tao, so he could only bite the bullet and stammer.

He took Chu Boyang and Zhou Tao to find his mother, but in Zhou Cheng's heart, he slowly made up his mind.

A place where seven or eight families live together is obviously not going to be much better. However, after all, Zhou Cheng also has a position as a ranger in the village, and he is considered to be eating from the public family, so in this big house, their family

It is a family with the best conditions, but even with the best conditions, in people's eyes, it also looks extremely dilapidated and withered.

Zhou Cheng signaled his intentions to Chu Boyang and Zhou Tao, opened the door and walked home, shouting at the same time: "Auntie! The second grandpa is here to see you!" Then he said to Chu Boyang and Zhou Tao, "My mother-in-law."

It's just inside the house, Grandpa, you can go in alone, I'm going to do something outside now."

Talking about the land matter, not seeing Zhou Cheng was naturally the best result. Chu Boyang and Zhou Tao were too late to be happy from the bottom of their hearts, so how could they stop Zhou Cheng? Zhou Tao even beat Chu Boyang

He winked, and then said to Zhou Cheng: "Sure, you go ahead and let's have a casual chat with your mother."

"Hey, I got it, Second Grandpa!" Zhou Cheng responded and ran out quickly. When he ran to Zhou Dazhuang at the door, he also glared at Zhou Dazhuang viciously, but in this situation Chu Boyang and Zhou Tao

They didn't see it, so the two happily walked in without saying a word.

The situation of Zhou Cheng's family does not seem to be very good. It is already evening, and the night falls relatively early in the season, but there are no lights on in his house. The sound of Zhou Cheng's mother walking around can be heard in the house, but it is actually too dark inside, so

Can't see what's going on inside the house.

Chu Boyang was confused, and Zhou Tao originally wanted to explain, but he heard Zhou Chengniang herself saying in the room: "Is the second uncle here? There seems to be a guest, doesn't he seem to be from the village?"

"He's not from the village, he's an official from the town." Zhou Tao said immediately.

After hearing this, Zhou Chengniang seemed to be nervous in the room. She knocked something over and heard the sound of something falling to the ground and breaking. Then Zhou Chengniang asked breathlessly: "Second uncle,

Is our Ah Cheng causing trouble again? What a big trouble this time is, why are all the officials from the town here?"

Apparently, Zhou Cheng had often been accused of causing trouble in the village, so when Zhou Chengniang heard that the town officials came to see her, she thought that Zhou Cheng had caused a big incident this time, and she was very frightened.

Chu Boyang quickly explained: "Auntie, we are indeed here to see you this time, but not because Zhou Cheng is causing trouble. We are here to discuss things with you."

"It's not Acheng who is causing trouble, isn't it? As long as it's not Acheng who is causing trouble, that's fine..." Zhou Chengniang relaxed after hearing Chu Boyang's explanation, but then she tensed up again and said to Chu Boyang tremblingly.

, "Sir from this town, you don't know that I am blind, so I don't know whether it is bright or not outside. I will light the lamp with you, whether it is bright or not!"

Chu Boyang was shocked, and then he realized why he could not see Zhou Chengniang turn on the light after entering Zhou Cheng's house. It turned out that Zhou Chengniang was blind. Of course, a blind man did not need to turn on the light!

As expected, Zhou Chengniang turned on the light as she said, and with a "pop" sound, Chu Boyang saw Zhou Chengniang standing nervously in the room after the light was turned on.

Zhou Chengniang had an awkward and forced smile on her face. She quickly motioned for Chu Boyang and Zhou Tao to sit on the stools nearby. Then she also fumbled to sit on a stool and said to Zhou Tao: "Second uncle, you

Why did you come to see me this time?"

Zhou Tao glanced at Chu Boyang first, and then said: "Ah Chengniang, this is what happened. This afternoon, I told everyone in the village that I wanted to expropriate the land vacated by your family for use.

Cooperate with the town government to plant the newly introduced golden apples, but the person attending the meeting at that time was your Acheng, and he did not agree, so we came to find you."

After Zhou Chengniang heard this, a slight smile appeared on her face. Before she could speak, Chu Boyang immediately said: "Auntie, the land we requisitioned this time is idle land, because many villagers in the back mountain have empty land.

So we are going to make use of them all. Since we are the government, we will naturally subsidize you, and if the golden apples are sold, there will also be rebates to the villagers who provided us with land for planting.

You can rest assured that we will never treat you badly!"

After Chu Boyang finished speaking, Zhou Chengniang became a little unhappy. She said: "My lord, you are making a mistake when you say this. Although our family has a lot of land, it is no wonder that it is empty. It is all because of me."

Blind woman, it is impossible for Ah Cheng to farm alone. Fortunately, my second uncle was very kind to us and gave Ah Cheng a position as a forest ranger, which made our family's life easier. The village and the town were very kind to our family.

We are kind, but if we don't repay the kindness, wouldn't we be worse than pigs and dogs? So you have to use that land as much as you can. Ah Cheng is ignorant, so he won't agree to this."

Zhou Chengniang really understood the righteousness, and Chu Boyang couldn't help but want to praise him, but now of course he was not the time to praise. When he heard that Zhou Chengniang had agreed to give him the land, he thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, Auntie, for your consideration!

On behalf of our town government, we would like to express our most sincere gratitude to you!"

"Haha!" Zhou Chengniang laughed and said with embarrassment, "Now the political axes are starting to care about us people, and I've also heard that the biggest boss in our town is our uncle Zhou Bin, and our Zhou family all

We are a family, and since uncle has made this decision, he must be thinking about us villagers, and we should actively cooperate with him!"

Chu Boyang never expected that Zhou Cheng would have such a kind, kind-hearted mother. He couldn't help but give Zhou Tao a thumbs up, even nodded, and said in a very small voice: "You

This trick is very useful! Zhou Cheng’s mother is really good!”

Zhou Tao didn't speak, just nodded to Chu Boyang, and then Zhou Chengniang chatted with Chu Boyang and Zhou Tao for a while, nothing more than family matters, or talking about some things about Zhou Cheng, but

Chu Boyang and Zhou Tao didn't care about this. After chatting lightly for a long time, they left one after another. Zhou Chengniang didn't insist on staying. Knowing that they were busy, she just said goodbye.

But just when Chu Boyang and Zhou Tao were sent out by Zhou Chengniang, and before they walked out of the stage gate, they heard a commotion outside the stage gate, and then saw Zhou Cheng once again leading a group of people.

, rushed in furiously.

This is not the first time he has encountered this scene. Last time when he was moving tombs and inspecting the ground, Chu Boyang had already encountered the situation where Zhou Cheng led people to surround him. The number of people he led last time was so large that

But the result was a mob, so this time he seemed to have changed his strategy and called in a few people, all of whom were the thugs he brought last time.

Of course, Zhou Cheng was the first to rush in. Holding a pole in his hand, he rushed through the stage door and hit Chu Boyang on the head.

Chu Boyang and Zhou Tao stepped back at the first moment, but this does not mean that Chu Boyang is afraid of Zhou Cheng. Although he has not practiced martial arts for a long time, his methods are all authentic. Although he is self-taught, he is not afraid of Zhou Cheng.

The effect was obvious. Before this, he had never tried to find someone to compete with. Now that Zhou Cheng came to his door, he was unyielding and wanted to rush forward to fight with Zhou Cheng. Unexpectedly, he was killed by Zhou Cheng before he took a step forward.

Tao stopped him.

At this time, not only Zhou Tao grabbed Chu Boyang, but Zhou Dazhuang also rushed out. At the critical moment, he raised his hands and rushed in front of Chu Boyang, blocking the pole from Chu Boyang.

!

Zhou Cheng's eyes suddenly turned red, and he spat and cursed: "Zhou Dazhuang! You pig! Get out of here!"

"I...I won't leave!" Although Zhou Dazhuang's words were a little awkward, he didn't look back at all.

Zhou Cheng picked up the pole and tried to knock it down again, threatening Zhou Dazhuang: "Dazhuang! You are looking for death, right? If you don't leave, I'll beat you too!"

"You... hit me if you want to!" Zhou Dazhuang not only did not retreat, but took a step forward and said to Zhou Cheng, "You... it doesn't matter if you bully me! Brother Chu and Second Grandpa, you don't

Quite a bully!”

"You actually called that brother named Chu? It's so fucking embarrassing!" Zhou Cheng became furious and really smashed the pole down, but Zhou Dazhuang actually raised his hand again on the spot, without saying anything.

He blocked it in fear.

"Ah!" Zhou Cheng's attack was really hard, and he knocked Zhou Dazhuang to the ground in one fell swoop!

"Da Zhuang!" Chu Boyang and Zhou Cheng both shouted at the same time. They could no longer care and rushed forward.

This was convenient for Zhou Cheng. Zhou Cheng picked up the pole and said to the people behind him: "Brothers, pull the second grandfather away from me and beat me if you face the person named Chu!"

"How dare you!" Chu Boyang stood proudly and stepped on his horse. Although he did not have the demeanor of a master, his roar shocked people.

But Chu Boyang's image was known to these second-rate people in Sun Moon Village, and they all thought he was just a scholar. Although they were shocked just now, they didn't have so many worries and rushed forward with poles and hoes.

Shovels and the like were all trying to hit Chu Boyang.

Chu Boyang's palms were sweating. Although he really wanted to compete with others, all he wanted to do was fight in groups. After all, he was still a little unsure, but he had to face it.
