When the white car stopped at Er Zhu's house, several village women exchanged speechless glances.
Damn it, they were proven wrong again!
They just couldn't understand how such a simpleton could know so many wealthy people!
Were normal people truly inferior to an idiot?
A hint of envy, jealousy, and even hatred flashed in the village women's angry eyes.
"Go take a look, maybe they're here to cause trouble for Er Zhu."
Aunt Wang Er was still unwilling to accept it. She nudged her neighbor and walked towards Er Zhu's house.
So what if they knew each other? Who said knowing someone was always a good thing!
If a fool like Er Zhu offended a rich person, his fate would be worse than theirs!
Aunt Wang Er imagined Er Zhu beaten black and blue, and her anger subsided considerably at the thought.
The other village women looked at Aunt Wang Er, then at the beautiful woman who had stepped out of the car, and felt a pang of resentment.
They simply refused to believe that all good things would fall into the idiot's lap!
The beautiful woman held an exquisite gift box, her eyes full of gratitude as she walked towards the courtyard. If Er Zhu were present, he would have recognized her immediately.
This person was none other than Liu Yan, whom he had saved last time!
Er Zhu had not only cured her hidden ailment but also helped her career soar to new heights!
With those big, red cherries, she had now become the largest fruit vendor in town!
Er Zhu could be considered her rebirth benefactor!
Liu Yan's eyes welled up slightly. She had only taken a few steps when she saw Li Mei emerge from the house.
"Liu Yan, why are you here?"
Li Mei's eyes lit up when she saw Liu Yan, and she hurried to greet her.
Her feelings towards Liu Yan were complex. On one hand, she hoped Liu Yan would come; on the other, she wished she wouldn't.
She hoped Liu Yan would come because she could bring wealth to their family and even the entire village. However, thinking about how Liu Yan and Er Zhu were often alone in the same room, Li Mei wished she could drive her away immediately.
"Where is Er Zhu? I need to see him!"
Just as Li Mei was about to exchange pleasantries with Liu Yan, Liu Yan impatiently asked about Er Zhu's whereabouts.
Li Mei's smile froze instantly, and her heart felt like a jumbled mess of emotions.
At the entrance, Aunt Wang Er and the others heard this and their faces immediately lit up with smiles.
"Did you hear that? This woman must be here to settle scores with Er Zhu!"
"I think so too, otherwise, why would she be in such a hurry!"
"Great! This time, I want to see how this idiot will get out of this!"
...
Several villagers eavesdropped by the door, sneering with wicked grins.
Unbeknownst to them, this scene was overheard by Er Zhu as he returned.
Er Zhu glanced at the license plate of the white car, then at Aunt Wang Er and the others whose mouths were practically splitting into grins, and shook his head speechlessly.
What a bunch of idiots.
Just as Aunt Wang Er and the others were jeering the most fiercely, Aunt Wang Er suddenly saw Er Zhu approaching.
"Er Zhu, someone's here for you, and they're definitely here to cause trouble. You should run!"
Aunt Wang Er grabbed Er Zhu's arm. Her words seemed like concern, but Er Zhu saw the mockery in her eyes.
"Yeah, this woman looks quite wealthy. We can't afford to offend someone like her!"
"That's right, see? She's even holding something in her hand."
...
Several village women nodded in agreement, pulling Er Zhu in another direction as they spoke.
"She's not here to cause trouble for me; Miss Liu is here to deliver a gift!"
Er Zhu didn't have time to listen to Aunt Wang Er and the others' pointless chatter. He forcefully shook them off and walked straight into the courtyard.
"What an idiot. Don't blame us if you get beaten later!"
Aunt Wang Er shouted at Er Zhu with bright eyes, her mouth stretched wide.
This was exactly the effect she wanted!
She knew this idiot would go inside, which was why she tried to stop him!
Just wait, Er Zhu would be beaten to a pulp later!
Thinking this, Aunt Wang Er snorted with satisfaction, her eyes fixed on the people in the courtyard.
"Miss Liu, do you need something from me?"
Just as Li Mei was about to reply, she suddenly heard Er Zhu's voice. She looked at Er Zhu with a complex expression and silently moved aside.
Although she didn't want to see this happen, she had no reason to stop it.
"Er Zhu, thank you. Your cherries are amazing. I've come to renew our contract with you!"
Hearing Er Zhu's voice, Liu Yan suddenly turned around and excitedly grabbed his hand, her eyes full of gratitude!
"A small token of my appreciation, nothing much. You must accept it!"
Liu Yan was about to say something else when she suddenly thought of something. She opened the gift box in her hand, revealing a golden toad the size of her palm before Er Zhu.
"A golden toad is a symbol of wealth. I hope you prosper, and I'll be waiting for you in town!"
After calming her excitement, Liu Yan pointed to the golden toad and explained.
Boom!
Seeing this, Aunt Wang Er and the others at the door were stunned. They stared at the scene before them in disbelief.
Was this Er Zhu a god of wealth descended to earth? How could such good things keep happening to him!
Thinking about the words they had just spoken, Aunt Wang Er and the others wished they could slap themselves hard!
How embarrassing!
They were nothing but clowns!
Especially the plump, dark-skinned village woman beside Aunt Wang Er, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into!
She had just called her best friend to come and witness Er Zhu's misfortune, and now what was she supposed to do...
"Sister Liu, did we come late? Has it started yet?"
Just as Sister Liu was worrying about her predicament, a woman's voice reached her ears. Sister Liu turned around, and the scene before her made her feel both ashamed and embarrassed.
Her best friend had brought more than twenty villagers!
They were already embarrassed, and now she felt like she was being slapped in the face again!
"Whoa, I just remembered, that woman is Miss Liu! Er Zhu's cherries were bought by her!"
Just as Sister Liu was consumed by shame, Aunt Wang Er suddenly smacked her forehead, remembering something.
She had been too far away, and Liu Yan's makeup had changed, so she hadn't recognized her.
If she had known it was her, she wouldn't have come to witness this spectacle even if she were beaten to death!
Hearing this, several village women glared fiercely at Aunt Wang Er, a hint of regret flashing in their shocked eyes.
Damn it, this Aunt Wang Er had really screwed them over!
"Er Zhu, we're signing a one-million-dollar contract this time, you absolutely cannot refuse me!"
Just as Sister Liu and the others were cursing Aunt Wang Er in their minds, a voice from the courtyard made everyone's faces instantly fall.
A one-million-dollar contract!
They had never seen so much money in their lives!
The faces of several people changed and changed again, and a hint of envy flickered in their shocked eyes.
He was truly the richest man in their village, a single contract worth a million dollars!
Sister Liu lowered her head, the more she listened to Er Zhu and Liu Yan's conversation, the more embarrassed she felt.
