530 A Strong Dragon Can’t Suppress a Local Snake

Xing Chen and Qiao An arrived at the village head’s house hand in hand. The village head was not around, and his wife and son, Fu Dayou, received them.

Although Fu Dayou had been kicked by Qiao An, he couldn’t forget her beauty and liked Qiao An, a different kind of fierce woman. So he showed both love and hatred for Qiao An’s arrival.

In order to make Qiao An to fall in love with him, Fu Dayou put in a lot of effort. He instructed the servants to bring out the good tea and precious snacks at home.

“Qiao An, I’m so happy that you can come to my house. This is my family’s good Longjing tea. It costs thousands of dollars a tael. You must have never drunk such expensive tea leaves before. Try it.”

Qiao An glanced at the tea leaves indifferently, then said casually, “I never drink tea leaves worth thousands of dollars a tael.”

Fu Da smiled. “Isn’t that so? Not everyone can afford it.”

But Qiao An added, “My tea leaves are all limited edition collector’s editions that aren’t circulating in the market. They’re hard to come by.”

Fu Dayou was dumbfounded. Then, he said indignantly, “Keep bragging.”

Xing Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

Qiao An held Xing Chen’s hand and sat side by side with him opposite Fu Dayou. She was in no mood to show off her wealth. Instead, she went straight to the point. “Fu Dayou, where’s your father?”

Fu Dayou said lazily, “My father went to the confinement area. Tell me if you have anything. I’ll tell my father later.”

Xing Chen said, “I need a piece of land to build a house. I hope the village book will grant me approval.”

Fu Dayou was immediately suspicious. “Xing Chen, why do you suddenly want to build a house?”

Xing Chen said, “An’an and I are preparing to get married. I need a new house.”

Fu Dayou had the intention to make things difficult for him. “You’re from an unknown background. You’re not qualified to live in our village, let alone build a house.”

Qiao An retorted, “Xing Chen is considered an adopted son of the Xing family. Since the Xing family has settled down, Xingchen, as the male son of the Xing family, has the right to settle down. Fu Dayou. Don’t make things difficult for Xing Chen.”

Fu Dayou’s mother had always doted on him like he was her treasure and was obedient to him. Seeing that Qiao An was so disrespectful to Fu Dayou and her words were filled with contempt, she immediately frowned unhappily.

“Qiao An, you better not interrupt when men are talking,” Fu Dayou’s mother said coldly.

Qiao An stared.

“What era are we in? Do you think this is an old society where men are superior to women? Aunt, men and women are equal these days. There is freedom of speech.”

The face of the village head’s wife darkened from Qiao An’s disobedience. “Xingxing, you’re an outsider of unknown origin. It’s just that Father Xing sympathized with you and saved you. For the past few years, you’ve relied on Father Xing’s reputation to live in the Xing family. Now that you’ve abandoned Xing Xiaoya, you would be severing ties with the Xing family. Therefore, you’re no longer qualified to stay in our village.”

Qiao An asked, “Xing Chen’s name is on the Xing family’s household register. Aunt, by saying that Xing Chen is not a member of the Xing family, are you prepared to testify with the household register, or are you testifying with your mouth?”

The village head’s wife was speechless.

Qiao An continued, “Aunt, you’re uncultured and don’t understand the principle that there are laws to follow. Let’s wait for Village Head to come back and tell him about this.”

Her words made the village head’s wife feel uneasy.

She was the wife of the village head. She knew how many illegal things the village head had done over the years.

However, her uneasiness quickly disappeared. After all, she believed that a weak girl like Qiao An couldn’t cause trouble.

“Qiao An, here, the village head is the law,” the village head’s wife said rudely.

Qiao An didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Aunt, it seems that you really haven’t studied.”

At this moment, the village head returned.

He looked happy.

Seeing Xing Chen and Qiao An, he said excitedly, “Qiao An, Xing Chen, it’s all thanks to you that the plague in our village is under control. The higher-ups heard that we controlled the plague in such a short time and specially rewarded our village.”

This was indeed exciting good news.

However, the wife interrupted the village head and said with a dark expression, “Do you know why Xing Chen and Qiao An are here?”

Only then did the village head realize that there was something unusual about Xing Chen and Qiao An’s appearance at his house.

However, before Xing Chen could explain, his wife quickly told him, “Xing Chen wants you to approve the construction of a house for him.”

As expected, the village book’s smile froze at the corners of his eyes.

Qiao An could see his dilemma and was surprised.

“Xing Chen, you’re not qualified to build a house,” the village head said.

“Why not?” Qiao An asked.

“He… has an unknown background.”

“Did the Xing family settle in the village?” Qiao An asked.

“They did.”

Qiao An was aggressive. “That’s strange. The Xing family is also an outsider. If they can buy a house and settle down, why can’t Xing Chen?”

“Xing Chen’s situation is very special. His household register was directly registered with the Xing family, so he’s considered a member of the Xing family.”

“Since he’s from the Xing family, it’s not uncommon for men to establish their own families. Why can’t Xing Chen do so?”

“Xingchen is the son-in-law of the Xing family.”

“The son-in-law of the Xing family? Xing Chen’s surname is Xing. Moreover, he doesn’t have a marriage registration certificate with Xing Xiaoya. You treat him as the son-in-law of the Xing family? Isn’t this malfeasance?”

The village head couldn’t argue with Qiao An and immediately flared up. “Qiao An, it’s not your place to point fingers at our village.”

Qiao An sneered. “If you’re wrong, we have the right to report you.”

The village book smiled shamelessly. “Report me? If you have the ability, report me to the higher-ups?”

Qiao An guessed from the village book’s brazen smile that the village book was protected.

“If I find out that you did do something illegal, I’ll definitely pull you down.” Her tone was slow but extremely firm.

The village head’s face darkened. For some reason, Qiao An made him feel uneasy.

...

The village head had heard that Qiao An was a CEO, but he didn’t believe it. The CEO of the capital was busy every day. How could she have the time to personally come down and do charity?

Qiao An pulled Xing Chen out of the village head’s house.

The village head wife’s asked her husband timidly, “Will Qiao An ruin things?”

The village head said, “What are you afraid of? A strong dragon can’t suppress a local snake.”

The village book wife’s said, “But I’m afraid this girl has an extraordinary status.”

The village head also looked alarmed.

The village head’s wife reprimanded him. “It’s all your fault. You shouldn’t have taken over the Xing family’s residence in the first place. You caused the Xing family to have no residential land to build a house.”

The village head said, “Who knew that poor Xing Chen would suddenly want to build a house?”

“Why don’t we find him another piece of land?”

“Nonsense. Ground control nowadays is so strict. How can it be casually built?”
