Chapter 104: Sweet Words... I will never bully Xingxing again.

The good and the bad were all exposed by Chen Youshan. The old village chief was so angry that his eyes widened. Chen Youshan was implying that this young man could make a big request if he could fix it, and if he couldn't, he couldn't blame him. After all, their village's thresher was in bad shape.

This old man is truly cunning!

The old village chief was like a mute who had to eat bitter herbs. He had grievances but couldn't express them. Even so, this mute still had to endure, after all, he was asking for help from others.

After listening to everything, Xu Hengzhou neither readily accepted the challenge, claiming he could fix it, nor did he hesitate and show reluctance to attempt. He just smiled faintly and said, "I have to see the specific situation before I can determine if it can be fixed."

This kind of attitude made the old village chief feel relieved. Initially, due to his young appearance, the old village chief was concerned that this young man might be unreliable. However, upon closer inspection, this young man seemed quite steady.

The old village chief, being straightforward, immediately said, "Alright, go take a look. If you can fix it, our village will treat you well. If you can't, we won't blame you."

However, Xu Hengzhou couldn't just leave immediately. It was lunchtime, and even though Chen Youshan and the old village chief had some grievances, face still needed to be saved. They had to share a meal.

The old village chief might not have wanted to eat at Chen Youshan's house, but given his current situation, he had to give Chen Youshan some face. With a forced smile, he accepted Chen Youshan's generous invitation to stay for lunch at his house.

Chen Youshan also invited Xu Hengzhou to stay, but he refused. He mentioned that he had to go back home to cook for his little brother, Xiang Chen, who was waiting for him. He insisted on eating later and then returning.

Chen Youshan knew that Xu Hengzhou cared a lot for his younger brother. If it were another child from the village, parents might have already let them be independent at this age. However, Xu Hengzhou still treated his brother as a little kid, always looking out for him.

But thinking about others who are so dependent on each other as brothers, Chen Youshan felt that Xu Hengzhou's attitude was understandable.

The old village chief still wanted to keep Xu Hengzhou around. He wanted to have a chat when it was time to eat. However, Chen Youshan directly spoke up, saying, "Alright, finish your meal and come over early. Let's discuss things thoroughly."

Xu Hengzhou left, leaving Chen Youshan and the old village chief sitting face to face, finishing the meal with forced smiles.

When he returned home, Xiang Chen had already steamed the rice. A couple of quick stir-fried dishes, and they would be ready to eat. Xiang Chen served the rice, covered it, and squatted by the stove to keep the fire going. Xu Hengzhou opened a bag of pickled bamboo shoots and stir-fried shredded pork with them. He also cooked some lotus root slices. One dish was meat, and the other was vegetarian, both plentiful in quantity, enough for two people.

Chen Mutou, who made furniture for them, agreed to Xu Hengzhou's request and sent over a small square table. The table was quite small, barely enough for the two of them to sit and eat.
