CHAPTER 567: CHAPTER 367: SUSPICION

Liu Hongwen was slightly startled and followed Zhang Dadan towards the inner room. A few steps away, his mother stopped him, concerned, "Hongzi, you..."

Liu Hong turned around without saying a word to reassure her, "Mom, you can rest assured! Nothing will happen."

Seeing this situation, the neighborhood community became increasingly perplexed. Liu Hong was really frustrated.

It was hard for him to understand how submissive his mother had become; she had always been arrogant and rude, but now she was easily swayed.

As people continued to talk to Liu Hong, the two had already reached the inner room. Zhang Dadan invited him to sit down and make positive remarks.

"Liu Hong, past events can be forgiven, but people must be accountable for their actions."

Liu Hongwen did not appear shocked or scared, but rather somewhat relaxed, as if a burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

"I know I’ve made many mistakes and caused you a lot of trouble. What do you want me to do? Go ahead!" Liu Hong asked.

He was very surprised; he really regretted it, he truly regretted it.

Someone once said, a dog cannot change its habit of eating shit, but people always change; good people can become bad, and bad people can also become good.

Zhang Dadan meditated for a moment and said lightly, "I don’t need you to pay me back, and I won’t beat you. How about you leave Anping Village?"

Leave Anping Village? Liu Hongmei’s mind was locked, deep in thought. In ancient times, this would be considered exile, wouldn’t it?

He had made many mistakes and hurt Zhang Dadan, but why should he banish himself?

Though he became the village’s richest person through his chicken farm and lettuce sauce factory, he had no such authority. This isn’t the old society!

"Our family has lived in Anping Village for generations. Why should I leave?" Liu Hong asked, trying to restrain himself.

Seeing he hadn’t turned away angrily or asked hysterically, Zhang Dadan believed he was determined to change.

"Liu Hong, I think you misunderstood! I’m not trying to expel you from the village, but I hope you can leave for a while." Zhang Dadan explained.

What’s the difference between temporarily leaving the village and being expelled from the village?

"I don’t understand! Why are you doing this?" Liu Hong boldly looked at Zhang and asked seriously.

It wasn’t without anger, but endurance, partly due to conscious loss, and partly for his mother.

Seeing him still remain rational, Zhang Dadan straightforwardly said, "You can either stay out of the village or go work in Guangdong Province! Come back during the Spring Festival!"

"As long as you temporarily leave, I will arrange for your family to make soy sauce with the villagers!"

After all, Liu Hong was still a high school graduate. His mind was livelier than most villagers. When he heard Zhang Dadan, he couldn’t help wondering to himself. Is this a combination of kindness and strength? Or coercion?

Liu Hong looked at Zhang Dadan again and asked, "Why do you want me to leave?"

Zhang Dadan saw his suspicion,

Zhang Dadan saw his choice to give up, then no longer being aggressive. He solemnly promised, "You can be assured! After you leave, I will never go find your parents!"

"I hope you can do so!" Liu Hong responded slowly. Although he was jealous of Zhang’s daring, he had to admit Zhang’s daring was always the same and never deceived himself.

Before Zhang could respond, he said to himself, "I still can’t hit you, Liu Hong is truly a poor man!"

His self-pity and self-deprecating words were filled with helplessness and desolation, along with a hint of regret.

Zhang Dadan’s Ween Yan also couldn’t help but sigh, knowing why today? Unworked jealousy only leads one into a pit of crime.

Fortunately, Liu Hong could regret early and lose the way so he wouldn’t do anything infuriating. Otherwise, the consequences would not be just isolated.

"Liu Hong, this time I choose to forgive you. It’s entirely for the sake of your mother. I hope you will truly repent and stop any more ideas. Zhang Dadan tried to justify himself.

Liu Hong took a breath and said with a bitter face, "I understand! You can count on it. I already know how much I weigh!"

His self-examination surprised Zhang Dadan somewhat, but he didn’t expect Liu Hong to have such an awakening?

The two sat together in silence for a long time. Zhang Dadan said, "Alright! Let’s go out. Don’t let your mother worry any longer.

With that, he stood up, looked down at Liu Hong, and led him out of the room towards the crowd.

When Liu Hong saw his son come out, she hurried forward and called out worriedly, "Hong...Hongzi...are you alright?"

Without waiting for Liu Hong’s answer, Zhang Dadan laughed, "Auntie, can I still beat him up?"

The surrounding neighbors, seeing Liu Hong unharmed and Zhang Dadan laughing, couldn’t help but be amazed.

Had these two reconciled? Liu Hong did so many dirty things, disgusting and bold.

"What did they say in the room? How dare he let him leave?" Someone whispered.

Even Liu Hong’s mother was confused. Zhang Dadan dragged her son into the room. What did he say?

"Hong...Hongzi, did he embarrass you?" Liu Hong’s mother glanced at Zhang Dadan and quietly asked her son.

At this moment, Liu Hong had already chosen to yield, deciding to leave Anping Village and return to Guangdong Province for work, how could he dare provoke Zhang Dadan?

"No! What are you thinking about? Now it’s all over. You can rest assured!" Liu Hong whispered.

Wang Cuifen saw her son and Zhou Yong already turning villains into jade silk, but felt somewhat displeased inside. This mess had defamed their house three times and five times, and it was easily forgiven.

"Dadan, what happened here? What did you promise him?" Wang Cuifen dragged her son aside, judging him harshly.

As they saw the mother and son whispering separately, the surrounding neighbors became more bewildered. They were curious about what they were discussing. Yet, since Zhang Dadan chose Liu Hong for transformation, how could he let people guess their intentions?

"It’s all over. Let’s go." Zhang Dadan didn’t answer his mother’s question but ordered the onlookers.

As the crowd dispersed in chaos, Liu Hong saw it, leading his mother home.

After Liu Hong left, the conflict and anger dissipated, and the surrounding neighbors scattered.

After everyone left, Wang Cuifen eagerly asked, "Dadan, what did you say to him? Did you promise him anything?"

"I promised they could make soy sauce at home with their family." Zhang Dadan replied.

He was so light and easygoing that Wang Cuifen became more and more upset. Since he faced everyone, he accepted Liu Hong’s apology. How could his family make soy sauce together?

Who knows if Liu Hong sincerely repents or is just pretending to gain sympathy? What if he does something with the soy sauce?

"Alas! Dadan, how could you agree to let their family make sauce? Do you feel confused? Can you trust their family?" Wang Cuifen chatted with her son.

After sitting down, Zhang asked, "Can you trust them? You can rest assured!"

Should? That means we still can’t be sure. Isn’t this a time bomb buried nearby? Who knows when it will explode!

"Should? Son, you can’t believe others!" Wang Cuifen painfully urged him.
