405 Kneeling in Admiration
Chu Zhe was right.
Ye Ting was indeed rather happy now.
However, this happiness had been brought to her by Chu Ning.
“I’m fine.” Father Chu waved his hand tiredly, then turned to look at the portrait on the wall.
!!
Seeing this, Chu Zhe didn’t say anything more and simply ate the noodles in his bowl quietly.
The central room returned to silence, other than the sound of Chu Zhe and Chu Zhang eating noodles.
But after a moment, the balance was disrupted once again.
Chu Huan suddenly ran into the central room in a panic. As he passed the threshold, the bowl of noodles in his hand almost fell.
“Oh, no!” Chu Huan put down the empty bowl, still in shock.
“What’s the matter, Fourth Brother?” Chu Zhang looked at Chu Huan in confusion.
“I saw a group of people walking towards our house under Cao Xing’s lead!” Chu Huan exclaimed.
“Huh?” Chu Zhang looked at Chu Huan in disbelief. Chu Huan didn’t seem to be lying.
Chu Zhang then looked at Chu Zhe, but Chu Zhe remained unmoved.
“Alright, don’t be afraid. No. 5 and No. 6 are here,” Chu Zhe said. He stood up and walked out.
Everything was under his control.
Cao Xing, who was walking at the front of the group, saw that the Chu residence was right in front of them. They were only 20 meters away.
However, he had a hard time covering the last 20 meters.
He had memorized everything Chu Yang had said.
As the village chief of Laoshan Village, he had to lead the group of people behind him to kneel on the empty ground in front of the Chu family’s gate and repent for the sins they had committed.
As for when to end the ceremony, it was still up to Chu Yang.
What made Cao Xing slightly glad was that there were no Laoshan villagers in front of the Chu residence.
This showed that his prestige as the village chief still existed.
It was impossible for Chu Yang to stay here forever. As long as he left, Cao Xing would still have the final say in Laoshan Village.
A temporary surrender was nothing. Saving his life was more important.
At the thought of this, Cao Xing’s expression became even more sorrowful, and he was on the verge of tears.
Since it was an act for Chu Yang to see, naturally, the more realistic the act, the better.
Cao Xing tried to recall all the grievances he had suffered over the years, but he realized that the lesson he had learned that day was the most profound.
After all, it was a choice between life and death.
And so, he really cried.
Half of it was an act, and the other half was because he was frightened by Chu Yang.
As Cao Xing sobbed, the twenty or so people behind him also cried softly.
They weren’t sincere either.
However, when they thought about the people behind them pointing guns at their heads, it wasn’t hard for them to cry.
The two brothers, Chu Yang and Chu Se, walked behind them, like herding sheep, driving these people to their final destination.
“Huh! This…” Chu Huan looked at Cao Xing’s crying face in bafflement and shock.
Coupled with the bruise on the corner of his mouth, Chu Huan felt that Cao Xing’s crying was very emotional.
“Wait! Why is he crying? Isn’t he here for revenge? Also, what is the meaning of the group of people behind him? Why are they crying too? What’s going on?” Chu Huan didn’t quite understand what was going on.
“Uncle Chu, I’ve let you down! I’m guilty. I deserve to die!”
Finally, Cao Xing walked to the center of the empty field in front of the Chu family’s gate and spoke loudly and sorrowfully.
There was a thump.
Cao Xing knelt down.
Following that, the large group of people knelt down one after another. Only two young men with smiles on their faces had their hands behind their backs and looked at everything indifferently.
“Big Brother, we’re back,” Chu Yang spoke softly after walking up to Chu Zhe and hugging him.
“Big Brother, it’s been awhile.” Chu Se also hugged Chu Zhe and said with a smile.
If there was anyone in the world who could order the two brothers around, it would be Chu Zhe.
When they left the Chu family and were determined to make a living, only Chu Zhe showed his respect and understanding. He had also been silently providing material and spiritual help to the two of them in the early stages of their development.
It could be said that Chu Zhe was the true backer behind the two brothers!
“Go in and take a look. Mom’s asleep, Dad’s in the central room, and Xiao Zhang and Xiao Ning are there too,” Chu Zhe said, gratified, patting their shoulders.
“They smiled and nodded when they saw me, not even calling me Fourth Brother, yet they’re so warm to Big Brother,” Chu Huan mumbled softly.
Chu Zhe could only smile helplessly.
If it hadn’t been for the two Chu brothers’ protection, given Chu Huan’s personality, he would have been beaten up more than once in school.
Chu Zhe ignored Chu Huan’s complaints and turned his gaze to the crowd kneeling in front of the Chu family’s gate.
