Chapter 247: The Su Vige Big Event
Tang Xiu drove back to the mountain near Su Vige. He then threw Zhong Tao’s dead body to feed the wild animals in a remote part of the mountain. He then returned back to where his car was parked and frowned.
He took care of the dead body! But how should he take care of the car?
After hesitating for a long period of time, he decided to drive the car far away. He remembered that there was a smallke about several kilometers away. So it shouldn’t be a problem throw the car into theke.
After more than an hourter dawn came as Tang Xiu finally had erased all the traces and drove his car back to Su Vige.
“Yo, aren’t you Little Xiu?”
Just as Tang Xiu stopped his car, an uncle passed by and approached. He circled around the car twice as his eyes thennded on Tang Xiu.
Tang Xiu knew this man so he smiled, “Uncle Danian, you wake up so early!”
Su Danian looked at him with a surprised expression. He also nced at the Land Rover SUV a few times, then speaking curiously, “It’s pleasantly cool in the morning, so it’s a good time to uproot the weeds from thend. Anyway, when did you learn to drive, Little Xiu? You also have such a good car. This is a baby, I can tell. Although your Uncle Danian only knows a little about cars, I can see that this car is quite expensive, right?”
Tang Xiu smiled, “Uncle Danian, cars are just means of transport. It’s nothing surprising!”
Su Danian nodded as he eximed in admiration, “People in our country love to drive good cars, and they all like to pretend to be big shots,paring themselves with others. You have a good disposition, just like when you were still a child.”
“Uncle Danian is overpraising me!”
Tang Xiu and Su Danian chit chatted for a while before he returned to the courtyard. He didn’t expect that his mother, Su Lingyun, had woken up and was washing her face and rinsing her mouth right there.
“Mom, why don’t you rest more!”
Su Lingyun smiled, “Your grandma woke up and said she’s hungry, so I couldn’t sleep much longer. I got up to make her breakfast. Xiu’er, I didn’t see you at home, what were you doing?”
Tang Xiu didn’t want to tell her that he got revenge on Hong Changyin and Zhong Tao because he knew his mother’s character. If he told her, she would be anxious and scared for a long time. So he lied, “I just drove around in the vicinity. It’s been nearly two years. There’s not much change in our hometown, it seems.”
Su Lingyun shook her head, “People here are too poor, so it isn’t strange that there’s not much change here. Alright, you go sleep now, Mom will prepare food immediately.”
“Alright, Mom!”
Tang Xiu replied and soon came to his old room.
The walls and furniture were familiar. He lived here for several years. The memories of those years were unforgettable; evenparing what he experienced in his 10,000 years in the Immortal World.
“This ce truly gives off a homey feeling!”
Tang Xiu sighed deeply inwardly. Warmness filled his chest as he felt slightly tired. Contemting for a moment, he thenid down on the bed without changing his clothes and slept.
Two hourster, more than half of the vige’s folks flocked to the Su family’s dpidated courtyard. Some of them looked curiously at the Land Rover SUV parked outside the courtyard, whereas some others looked gratefully as they talked to Su Lingyun.
“Little Yun, Quan has told us about the matter when he got back. We’re really thankful, especially to Tang Xiu. If it wasn’t for him, perhaps Fourth Uncle would still be in the Inpatient Department’s corridor in Star City Chinese Medical Hospital!”
“Lingyun, you really have a good son! He has grown up and has a good future ahead of him. This time, if it wasn’t for him, those folks who went to Star City would have suffered.”
“Tang Xiu is still young, yet he’s so reliable. He’s really the pride of our whole vige. I have heard that he’s also skilled in medical skills, a Divine Doctor who’s in charge of the Outpatient Department in Star City Chinese Medical School. Young, promising and amazing!”
“Lingyun, you’ve taught your son well—”
"..."
As shocked as she was, Su Lingyun listened to everyone’s praises with happiness. Having her son praised by her fellow vigers made her happier.
Just as she was happily replying to them, two ck cars arrived. Every Su viger looked at those two cars curiously.
“Creak...”
The two ck cars stopped nearby the crowd.
As four big and burly men came out of the car, a man wearing gold-rimmed sses followed. It was a middle-aged man who looked refined in his manners as he slowly came out of the car.
After seeing the middle-aged man, the vigers of the Su Vige had a great change in their expressions. Some young vigers even began to prepare some handy weapons, preparing to fight.
The middle-aged man’s expression slightly changed. He quickly let out an amiable smile and said, “Folks, please don’t be so tense. We’re not going to cause you trouble this time. Our boss knows we were too excessively aggressive, so he specifically send me to apologize to you.”
As the old vige chief, Su Changhe was quite brave. He paced a few steps to the front of the middle-aged man and growled, “We don’t need your apologies. Our fields will never be sold to you, so I advise you to spare the effort and just get the hell out.”
The middle-aged man forced a smile, “Elder, please don’t be angry. This time, I’m under the imperial order from my boss. If I just leave and go back without a good result it won’t be good for me. This time, not only am I here to apologize to the Su Vige, I’m also here topensate the families of the injured from yesterday’s conflict.”
"Compensation?"
The Su vigers nced at each other in dismay, wearing uncanny expressions on their faces. They didn’t know what kind of medication the other party had taken. It was perhaps another scheme of theirs!
The middle-aged man continued, “Everyone, our boss suddenly had a nightmarest night. In his dream, he was being punished for his evil deeds hemitted before. Finally, a subordinate who worked for our boss a year ago suddenly broke into the hospital and injured him. If not for being seriously injured, he would havee to personally apologize to you.”
A strange expression was written on the faces of the Su vigers.
“How are you going topensate us?”
Su Changhe asked with a heavy tone, along with a disdaining expression.
The middle-aged man quickly motioned the middle-aged strongman and received a ck bag from him. Then he raised it and said, “Our boss said that for each injured viger, we will pay 100 thousand yuan aspensation. Since there’s six injured, we’ll give 600 thousand yuan altogether aspensation.”
“What?”
All the vigers were shocked. They never dreamed that this matter would unexpectedly be reversed so greatly.
Could it be that the Boss of Imperial Water Royal View City, Hong Changyin, had his head broken by someone?
The middle-aged man said loudly, “For the families of the six injured, is there anyone present now? If so, pleasee forward to receive thepensation.”
The Su vigers looked at each other. Most of them suddenly felt envious of the wounded vigers. Had they known that the Imperial Water Royal View Real Estate would give so much money, they would havee forward to be beaten before!
100 thousand!
It was a huge sum of money for the Su Vige’s folks. With 100 thousand yuan, they would definitely be the richest here.
“Me! My mother was injured.”
Su Lingyun braved herself as she stood and spoke.
100 thousand for her, at present, was a very ignorable amount, because the monthly profit from her restaurant exceeded 100 thousand yuan. But her mother was, after all, wounded. Since the other party was willing to paypensation, why wouldn’t she ept it?
The middle-aged man asked, “Is there anyone else?”
Su Change said, “The other injured and their rtives have gone to Star City. If you sincerely want topensate them, just give the money for the other five to me. I’ll give it to them when theye back.”
The middle-aged man hesitated, “This... would this be alright?”
In a split second, all the Su vigers voiced their trust in the old vige chief, saying he was an extremely honorable person and that everyone was relieved entrusting the money to him.
The middle-aged man nodded. He took 100 thousand from the ck leather bag and handed it over to Su Lingyun and gave the remaining 400 thousand yuan to Su Changhe.
“Everyone! We have given you thepensation money, but there’s another thing our boss wants to tell all of you. The n to levy your farnd and the establishment of the industrial site will also be abandoned. We will no longer trouble you in the future.”
Su Changhe nced at the money in his hand and looked at the sincere look of the middle-aged man. Then, he spoke with a deep tone, “Each and every one of us here are only ordinary people. If you don’t provoke us, we naturally won’t bother you on our own initiative.”
“OK!”
The middle-aged man replied. Then he boarded the car and quickly left.
The Su Vige’s folks talked about what happened outside the courtyard. Su Lingyun herself held the 100 thousand yuan and walked into the courtyard in a hurry. There was no established bank in a rural vige so there were no means to guard the money. Su Lingyun then came to Tang Xiu’s room and saw that he was sleeping. After hesitating for a moment, she put the money into the desk drawer.
At noon, Tang Xiu woke up from his sleep. He found that the Imperial Water Royal View City Real Estate’s people hade over andpensated the injured people. He was quite satisfied with this conclusion. He then went to the county downtown to deposit the 100 thousand yuan into his grandmother’s bankbook. He had originally nned to leave a sum of money for his grandmother, but since she gained 100 thousand yuan, Tang Xiu gave up on this idea for the time being.
"Tang Xiu!"
Su Ben and Su Quan came to the courtyard. Seeing that Tang Xiu was chatting with Zhang Shi, they immediately called him out enthusiastically. There was a bag in Su Ben’s hand. His usually reserved and rarely speaking self was now was somewhat smiling.
Tang Xiu came forward and hugged Su Quan. He then smiled, “Quan, I heard that you sent my grandma to the County Hospital. Thanks, brother.”
Su Quan replied with a smile, “Why are you thanking me? No need for that between us. Besides, I originally intended to send your grandma to Star City, but she refused and said that she didn’t want to give you trouble.”
Tang Xiu nodded slightly. He then looked at the bag on Su Ben’s hand and asked, “Big Brother Ben, could it be there’s Silver Dragon Grass inside that bag?”
“Yes! I just went home and searched around and found 16 strains of Silver Dragon Grass. Also, Su Quan and I went to the mountain in the morning and found a dozen strains more. There are a total of 28 strains in this bag,” said Su Ben.
