Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

The six people stood at the door and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the old ladies and old men leave.

Li Muhua felt the same way, hoping that Zhao Qingshan could make a decision as soon as possible and move their families to Wulan so that they would never have such trouble again.

While thinking, Li Muhua suddenly smelled the aroma of meat. She was startled and shouted, "My chicken!"

Then he rushed back to the kitchen and opened the lid of the pot. Fortunately, the roast chicken was intact, with rich oil and red sauce, and the aroma was overflowing——

Li Muhua was very grateful, because it was not easy to eat chicken in Xiaowang Village.

Zhao Quan and others also followed in. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the braised chicken, Hu Lai asked tentatively, "Chef Li, are you really going to ask Ma Decai and the others for mercy tomorrow?"

Li Muhua nodded.

"Of course I went. Didn't you see that I promised them that I would go to Secretary Wang to ask for mercy?"

"But I am a nobody and my words carry no weight. Ma Decai and his men have violated the law again. Whether Secretary Wang and Director Zhao listen to me or not is none of my business!"

Hu Lai immediately said anxiously: "You are not a lowly person at all. You can get Director Zhao to come here to speak up for you with just one letter. As long as you say something, Director Zhao will definitely listen to you. Let them go!"

"He bullied me so much before, and even pushed the house and forced me to take care of a widow with three children. We can't let them off easily. It's better to send them to Wulan!"

"I think sending him to Wulan is too light a measure. Ma Wu should marry Widow Yao..."

Seeing that Hu Lai was serious, Li Muhua looked at him helplessly.

Some things cannot be said too clearly, or you will appear too shameless.

Dong Shuwan looked at Hu Lai with disdain and said, "Besides eating and herding cattle, what else do you know?"

"This black-hearted guy agreed to them just to delay the war. If I hadn't agreed just now, do you believe that those old ladies would have dragged me to cry until midnight?"

"We have to feed them well and serve them well, and we can't let anything happen to them, otherwise we won't be able to explain ourselves!"

Hu Lai finally reacted and looked at Li Muhua and asked, "Do you mean to pretend to persuade Secretary Wang to shut up the villagers, but actually want them to go to Wulan to join the production team?"

"Ok!"

Li Muhua nodded and said, "Don't tell anyone about this, even after they leave. It's not honorable!"

"What's shameful about that?"

Dong Shuwan said with some dissatisfaction: "What they did was dishonorable. You still helped them. If the police station really came to judge the case, they would be sent to jail even if they didn't get shot. How could they just move to a new place to settle down and be done with it!"

Li Muhua agreed with Dong Shuwan's words, but still explained: "I don't have the heart to compete with dogs in eating shit. Even seeing a dog eating shit is disgusting, so I want to drive them away-"

Before Li Muhua could finish, Zhou Ru interrupted him and said, "I'm cooking, don't talk nonsense!"

Li Muhua had no choice but to agree: "Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense."

"Anyway, this matter was done through connections. It affects me and the teacher's glorious image. Just don't tell anyone about it."

However, Zhou Ru didn't look at Li Muhua, but glanced at Dong Shuwan imperceptibly with a serious look in her eyes.

After dinner——

The night enveloped the house in darkness, with only a few kerosene lamps available in the house.

The firelight flickered through the intricate wood carvings, and the shadows all around the room danced with the firelight, creating a sense of horror.

Walking up the stairs, the dilapidated wooden boards creaked, and even Li Muhua couldn't help but muster up his courage. It was already very scary.

If this incident was heard again from the story of "The Imperial Concubine", Li Muhua would probably be scared to death.

Even Li Muhua, the junior master from Baiyun Temple, was frightened like this, let alone Zhou Ru.

She held the kerosene lamp with a fearful look on her face, and her timid eyes kept scanning the room. Li Muhua didn't care to be afraid and just stared at her, finding her funny.

After going up to the second floor, Li Muhua and the waiter went forward and opened the door.

He was the first to stick his head in and take a look, then turned back and said, "I've checked, there's no ghost in the house, please feel free to move in!"

"what?"

Zhou Ru exclaimed, and after straightening her expression, she said unhappily, "You bastard, what the hell are you talking about?"

"How scary is it to talk about ghosts in the middle of the night? This house is still so spooky!"

Zhou Ru looked back with some fear.

The main room on the first floor was as dark as ink at this time, and it was creepy to look at.

Seeing that Zhou Ru became even more frightened by what he said, Li Muhua was delighted and planned to have a long talk with Zhou Ru tonight so that she wouldn't be left alone in the room afraid of ghosts.

He waved at Dong Shuwan, signaling her to go back to her room and not stay here and be an eyesore.

Dong Shuwan guessed his thoughts and rolled her eyes, saying, "Ghosts are not scary. Only humans can harm others."

"Especially some people who deliberately talk about ghosts in the middle of the night to scare people. They must have no good intentions and are just trying to take advantage of others!"

After saying that, Dong Shuwan turned around and left, not giving Li Muhua a chance to rebuke her.

Seeing that she was trying to ruin his plans, Li Muhua yelled back, "Hey~~"

"Zhou Ru and I are already engaged, do I have to scare her with ghosts in order to take advantage of her?"

"She's really meddling in other people's business. No wonder even Old Man Wang doesn't dare to take advantage of her—"

Li Muhua was still yelling, and Zhou Ru had a headache watching him. She dragged him into the house and said anxiously, "Can you be nicer to Shu Wan and stop provoking her with Old Man Wang for no reason?"

Seeing Zhou Ru pulling him into the house, Li Muhua was overjoyed. He held the lantern in one hand and closed the door with the other.

"It's not easy for us to have the chance to stay in the same room, and she actually wanted to ruin my happiness. Scolding her is the least of my words."

Seeing Li Muhua approaching her with a smirk on her face, Zhou Ru no longer had the heart to think about Dong Shuwan. She stepped back in panic and asked cautiously, "What do you want to do?"

"If you dare to mess around, I'll call for help!"

The light was dim, and Zhou Ru's panicked look was particularly attractive to Li Muhua. He continued to approach her and put the kerosene lamp on the table.

"You can shout as much as you want. No one will pay attention to you even if you shout your throat out."

"Now everyone in Xiaowang Village knows that we are engaged. I want to hear what you are going to say. Are you saying I molested her or I violated her will?"

Without waiting for Zhou Ru to answer, Li Muhua hugged Zhou Ru and lowered his head to cover her mouth.

"Woo~~"

Zhou Ru slapped Li Muhua hard in an attempt to break free, but she was afraid that this would make others laugh at her, and she did not dare to scold him out loud for fear that others would hear her.

He was just happy with Zhou Ru's reluctance. The more intense her resistance was, the more Li Muhua refused to let go.

The strength in Zhou Ru's hands gradually faded, and the two of them rolled onto the bed.

After a while——
