Chapter 168 Chizi, Let's Move
"Ugh."
The old village chief sighed.
He walked up to Zhang Chi and Fu Li, and first apologized to Fu Li.
Fu Lilian said she didn't dare, mainly because Long Jianhua was such a disgusting guy and she was just too angry for the moment.
The old village chief nodded and said to Zhang Chi, "Chizi, don't worry about this matter. I apologize to you on behalf of the tribe."
"It has nothing to do with you, Village Chief. You don't have to be like this. I'm just worried about the child. The injury looks serious. If we delay any further, it might... Alas."
The old village chief hummed, patted Zhang Chi on the shoulder, and said, "How about this, the village will rent your car to take the child to the hospital. If anything happens later, the village will be responsible."
"Um, this..."
Zhang Chi raised his eyebrows. Now that he calmed down, he understood why the villagers didn't drive the child to the hospital.
In fact, they are just too superstitious. They are afraid that if the child dies in the car, they will not be able to keep the car anymore and it may even be contaminated with bad luck.
Zhang Chi actually doesn’t have this worry. On the one hand, he has a lot of cars, and on the other hand, he is not the kind of person who believes in superstitions.
By the way, he is also the dragon head this year. With the blessings of Mazu and Dragon King, he is blessed with great fortune.
He looked back at the unconscious child.
Zhang Chi nodded decisively, went back to the store, drove his Cadillac Escalade, and asked a few aunts to quickly get the children into the car.
As for Long Jianhua, Zhang Chi was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Seeing this, this guy followed him shamelessly.
Zhang Chi saw him opening the passenger door and shouted in a deep voice, "Sit in the back and hold your son."
Long Jianhua was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything. He sat in the back seat obediently.
Long Jianzhou glared at him deliberately as a warning, then opened the passenger door and got in.
"Uncle Jianzhou, what do you mean, let's go to the county hospital first?"
"Row."
Speechless all the way.
Arrived at the county hospital.
Long Jianzhou went there and paid the fees, and arranged for an aunt from the village to stay and take care of the child.
As for handing the child over to Long Jianhua, he was worried that this guy would run off to play cards and the doctor wouldn't be able to find him when he wanted to.
After a busy period.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
Zhang Chi had been working on an empty stomach since noon until now, and now he has finally finished his work.
Then he took Long Jianzhou and another aunt back to Xiasha Village.
As soon as I parked the car, I saw the old village chief and several elders from the village walking towards me from the parking booth opposite.
Dad Zhang Jianguo and mom Fu Li were also among them.
The old village chief first asked about the child's situation.
After learning that it can be treated but will only leave some scars, the old village chief sighed and felt very fortunate.
Several elders scolded Long Jianhua.
It seemed as if he was saying that Long Jianhua was ignorant, and he also apologized to Zhang Chi on behalf of Long Jianhua, asking Zhang Chi not to care too much about a scoundrel like him.
However, when the three members of the Zhang family heard this, they always felt that something was not right.
But the three of them were not stupid. They would definitely say it didn’t matter to their faces. After all, they were all from the same village.
However, seeing this, several elders of the Long family suddenly turned back.
He began to excuse Long Jianhua, saying that Long Jianhua could not support the child alone, and asked Zhang Chi to see if he could find him a better job.
Zhang Chi was stunned on the spot.
Lao Zhang and Fu Li also frowned.
However, several elders seemed unaware and even suggested that Zhang Chi give Chen Hui's current job to Long Jianhua, saying that it should not be given to outsiders.
This kind of protective attitude is really annoying.
Not to mention Zhang Chi, even Old Zhang and Fu Li, who had lived in the village for decades, felt that these elders of the Long family were going a bit too far.
I feel like there's a feeling of depression stuck in my heart that I can't get rid of.
It's obvious that their son has been betrayed by someone, but you old guys are still speaking well of the other party and asking your own sons to arrange jobs for him. This is just making trouble.
The Zhang family doesn't want you to take any attitude, let alone punish that guy Long Jianhua.
But this is not a reason for you to go further!
Lao Zhang and Fu Li looked at the old man in front of them, and then they remembered that this person was Long Jianhua's second uncle, his real uncle, no wonder.
Fu Li immediately frowned and said, "Uncle Fushan, how dare you say such a thing? What did Long Jianhua say about my son Chizi this afternoon? He wanted to suck my son's blood."
Long Fushan, Long Jianhua's second uncle, frowned upon hearing this.
"No, he just said that casually."
Fu Li was stunned when she heard this, and then she sneered.
It's funny. He dared to say that in front of so many villagers. What would he say behind his back?
Based on Fu Li's understanding of the villagers.
It is certain that Long Jianhua is not the only one who has said similar things. I am afraid that many people in the village have talked about her son Chi Zi in this way.
This made Fu Li feel as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly.
I wanted to vomit, but I couldn't, so I could only let it stay inside my body and feel sick.
What's wrong with my son being rich?
Just because I have money, I deserve to support all of you?
Now that his son has recruited so many people from the village, isn’t that righteous enough?
Do I have to take out all the money in my pocket and share it with you?
Fu Li was so angry.
At this time, the old village chief said, "Okay, Fushan, stop talking. Don't forget that many people in your family only have food to eat because of Chizi."
Not to mention far away.
Take Long Jianchuan for example. The reason why his food stall is doing so well is all thanks to Zhang Chi who made it famous in the village.
Long Jianchuan is a member of Long Fushan's family. He is Long Fushan's cousin and is not even three generations away from his father.
But they are all from the same family, and Long Jianchuan is already an example of how good things can come out of bad things.
The people in Long Fushan's group are all famous eccentrics in the village.
In the 1980s and 1990s, when rural people were still very taboo about divorce and infidelity, Long Fushan was the first villager to abandon his wife and keep a mistress outside.
At that time, he dared to bring his mistress back openly, and said that if there was no one to support him on the construction site, he would have been exhausted to death long ago.
Without saying a word, he drove his wife away.
In fact, everyone in the village knew that it was because his first wife gave birth to two daughters for him, and the woman outside gave birth to a son for him.
If you really want to say something thoughtful, Long Fushan should have been living a good life now.
Not long ago, I heard that his son secretly took out the passbook where he saved his pension and went to gamble, just like Long Jianhua.
On the contrary, the two daughters he drove away are now living a good life.
Someone in the next village built a small Western-style house for their mother. Everyone in the village knows about this, but I don’t know if this old man feels embarrassed.
After the old village chief scolded, he looked at Zhang Chi with some concern.
Zhang Chi frowned but didn't express anything.
The group left unhappily and walked into the store.
Zhang Chi took out a bottle of happy water from the refrigerator and gulped down a mouthful.
But I found that I couldn't be happy at all.
Seeing this, Fu Li sighed.
"Son, why don't we move to the city as well?"
Lao Zhang was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you doing? Our profitable businesses are all in the village. It would be inconvenient for you to move to the county town."
"I'm just angry."
Fu Li snorted.
Zhang Chi glanced at his father, then at his mother, and said, "Okay, Mom, we know what kind of people there are in the village. If they want to be jealous, let them be jealous."
At this time, Zhang Chi could only comfort his mother.
I've invested so much money, I can't just let it go to waste.
Besides, there are not only these annoying guys in the village, but also Long Jingshan's family, his aunt and uncle, and some villagers with whom he has a good relationship.
Zhang Chi felt that his mother would definitely be reluctant to leave the place where he had lived for decades.
It would be so nice for neighbors to visit each other from time to time. It would be lonely and cold to go to the county town.
Fu Li is a rural woman who loves to be lively and active. In fact, she doesn't want to live in the county town.
The reason I just made this suggestion is mainly because I don’t want my son to suffer any injustice.
Hearing Zhang Chi say this, she sighed again, but didn't mention moving.
While the words were being spoken.
Unexpectedly, the old village chief came back.
Seeing this, Fu Li secretly thanked her luck that she had not said anything bad about the old village chief.
When the old village chief came in, he looked a little embarrassed.
Obviously, he didn't know that the people in Long Fushan's family would say such shameless words.
As a member of the Long family, he felt very guilty.
"Well, Jianguo, Ali, Chizi, you guys, well, I'm here to say something amiss on their behalf."
Seeing this, Lao Zhang and Fu Li hurried over to support the old village chief.
There are so many members of the Long family, and others dare not say anything, but the old village chief has indeed always been fair and just.
When Grandpa Zhang Chi came to the village as an educated youth, the old village chief, who was also the team leader, took good care of old Zhang.
Later, when Old Zhang was dating Zhang Chi's grandmother, many people in the village opposed it, and some village scoundrels even went to beat Old Zhang up.
The one who voiced the loudest opposition was Zhang Jianguo’s grandfather, also known as his great-grandfather.
It was the old village chief's various persuasion with emotion that made it possible for Mr. Zhang and his wife to finally get married.
If not for this, given the xenophobic thinking of the Long family at that time, they would never allow a girl from the same family to marry a foreigner.
At this time, the old village chief wanted to bow and apologize to the three younger generations.
Both Lao Zhang and Fu Li were afraid to accept the gift as it was too heavy and they were afraid it would shorten their lifespans.
"Uncle Captain, don't do that. We haven't been wronged. Let them say whatever they want."
"Yes, uncle. Everyone in the village knows who Uncle Fushan's family is. My mother's family is making things up. I have known what kind of people they are since I was a child."
Old Zhang didn't dare to say that Fu Li, a daughter-in-law from another village, was not afraid of the old village chief.
She also wanted to vent her anger on her son.
Sure enough, when the old village chief heard what Fu Li said, his face became even more embarrassed.
What else can he, the old village chief, say?
Even if they don't say it out loud, they must be holding something in their heart.
Think of this.
The old village chief smiled bitterly and said, "Ali, I know Chizi has been wronged. Look, I won't ask Chizi about recruiting people in the future. He can hire people from wherever he wants. If anyone in the village stands up and gossips, I will help you solve it as soon as possible."
Zhang Chi was stunned.
Lao Zhang and Fu Li also raised their eyebrows.
The old village chief went on to say, "Just one thing, can you please not move away? It's been a long time since we have Xiasha Village. If you move away, then, then, well, I am begging you."
Zhang Chi looked at his mother.
Old Zhang also glanced at Fu Li.
It seems that the old village chief must have heard what my mother said just now outside.
Seeing this, Fu Li laughed dryly twice in embarrassment.
Lao Zhang quickly said, "Uncle Village Chief, you have been misunderstood. Ali was just complaining. We are not moving, really."
The old village chief looked at Zhang Chi and said, "But I heard from the villagers that your family has bought a house in the county town. Didn't Ali just..."
Fu Li slapped her thigh and said in an annoyed tone, "I'm just worried that my son Chizi will feel wronged. We are not moving. We live well in the village. Why should we move?"
Zhang Chi also nodded and said, "Don't misunderstand, Village Chief. Daguang and I bought that house as our wedding house."
"Oh, a wedding house is great, a wedding house is great, it's time for you to think about getting married, and quickly give birth to another big fat boy for your Zhang family, hehe."
Fu Li was so happy when she heard about having a baby.
"Yes, I have been advising him that way. Uncle, you are the elder of the village. This marriage of Zhang Chi requires three matchmakers and six betrothals. How about you help arrange it?"
Zhang Chi was stunned when he heard this and looked at his mother in amazement.
The old village chief's eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement, "That's fine. This is my first time as a matchmaker in my life, and you're the one chosen. Besides, Xiaoyun is also a good kid. I've watched you two grow up, and we all know you well."
"Yes, yes, uncle, my Chizi and Xiaoyun are a perfect match. Everyone in the village knows that Xiaoyun is still unmarried at the age of 30 because she is waiting for my Chizi."
Fu Li chuckled and thought that if they could get the old village chief to act as a matchmaker, their family would be very prominent in the village.
No matter how much those people gossiped, they dared not criticize the old village chief.
You should know that this man had fought in the self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam. I heard that the old village chief's father was even more powerful. He not only fought in the War to Resist . Aggression and Aid Korea, but also fought in the self-defense counterattack war against India, and killed all the way to the Indian capital.
It’s a pity that the old village chief has no descendants, otherwise Xiasha Village would not be without any outstanding people.
Even for the sake of their comrades-in-arms, the old village chief's comrades-in-arms who were doing well in the past would help his children.
As for other members of the tribe, forget it. Favors are not meant to be used in this way.
It’s the Duntou Village next door.
It is said that Chen Bin's grandfather was also a veteran, and his cousin was able to become the second-in-command of the town with the help of his grandfather's comrades-in-arms.
Of course, these are all rumors spread by the villagers, and no one knows the exact situation.
Now is not the time to talk about this.
Zhang Chi stared at his mother in amazement, "No, why are you suddenly talking about marriage?"
The old village chief is really something. Have you asked me, the person involved, for my opinion? You say you want to be a matchmaker for me. I am only 30 years old this year. I am still young and I don’t want to get married yet!
However, the old man is still quite decisive.
"Well, give me Chizi's birth date and I'll take it to the Mazu Temple to ask for a date. If it doesn't work, I'll hold an engagement party for the two children first, and then get married when Chizi's career is more stable."
When mother Fu Li heard this, she nodded repeatedly.
Zhang Chi: “…”
