When Qi Changliang heard Yu Peng’s words, he nodded.
“Then come in with me!”
With that, Qi Changliang pushed open his door and invited the two of them in to sit down.
When Qi Changliang’s wife, Yu Ya, saw that two strangers had arrived, she came over to ask Qi Changliang.
“Hubby, who are they?”
“Don’t worry about it. Go pour two cups of water first!” Qi Changliang said.
Yu Ya nodded and turned to get water.
There was a large tree in the courtyard. A wooden table and chairs were placed under it.
Qi Changliang brought her to sit under the big tree.
Yu Ya took out the kettle and poured three cups of water.
There was still rice cooking in the pot, so she couldn’t be away for long.
“Now, can the two of you explain why you’re here?!” Qi Changliang asked.
Yu Peng nodded and took out the portrait before unrolling it in front of Qi Changliang.
“Village Chief, do you know this person?”
After Qi Changliang saw Liu Mingkun’s portrait, his anger surged and he stood up.
“What have you got to do with this b.a.s.t.a.r.d? If you have anything to do with this b.a.s.t.a.r.d, leave immediately. You’re not welcome!”
“Village Chief, don’t be anxious. We have nothing to do with this person, but this person provoked us!” Jiao Hang quickly explained.
When Qi Changliang heard this, he sized up the two people opposite him and sat down skeptically.
“Are you serious? If that’s the case, why didn’t you go to Huaiqi Village to look for him? Instead, you came to Daxing Village?”
When Yu Peng heard this, he said, “I heard that Huaiqi Village and Daxing Village had many conflicts over the use of water for generations. I wonder if there’s such a thing?”
When Qi Changliang heard Yu Peng ask about this, he became vigilant. “Who exactly are you people? Why are you asking about this?”
Seeing that Qi Changliang didn’t trust them, Yu Peng thought for a moment and said, Mr. Qi, I want to ask you something. Putting aside the hatred acc.u.mulated in the past, do you want to resolve the problem of water use with Huaiqi Village?”
When Qi Changliang heard this, he immediately raised his voice.
“Of course I do! But how can I resolve this matter so easily? There’s only one river. When it’s time to use water, everyone will be waiting to use it. We’ve also tried to find other water sources, but there’s none, so we can only rely on this river to water the crops!”
“Can the water in this river resolve the needs of two villages?” Yu Peng asked.
Qi Changliang sighed and said, “It’s barely enough! But there are still some places that it isn’t enough for, so there are conflicts!”
To be honest, everyone in both villages wanted to resolve this matter.
They had thought of many ways, but it was useless. They could only continue fioht fnr it Than Af onnflir’t-c till-nod intn onrnitv “Then are you unwilling to marry your daughter to Liu Mingkun because two villages are fighting over water usage?” Yu Peng suddenly asked.
“What? That brat said that?” Qi Changliang gritted his teeth when he heard this.
“That’s right. Liu Mingkun told us that he and your daughter are in love. Because of the water problem, hatred has acc.u.mulated over the generations in the two villages, so he wants us to resolve the conflict between the two villages so that his marriage with your daughter can proceed smoothly!” Yu Peng said.
When Qi Changliang heard Yu Peng’s words, not only didn’t he heave a sigh of relief, but he became even more vigilant.
“Who exactly are you? Why are you looking for me today?”
Before Yu Peng and the others could answer, Qi Changliang suddenly thought of something and said, “I don’t care what your goal is. You can give up! My daughter will never marry that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Liu Mingkun!”
“Father!” Before Yu Peng could say anything, a woman’s voice sounded from afar.
When Yu Peng and Jiao Hang looked over, they saw a weak and pale girl leaning against a door while looking over.
When Qi Changliang saw this girl appear, he quickly stood up and ran over.
“Daughter, I already said that you have to recuperate. Why are you out here again?! Tell me, what should we do if you fall sick again?!”
The girl said softly, “Father, I’m fine. I know you don’t want me to hear about Liu Mingkun’s matters, but now that someone has brought news of him, I should come out and hear it. Father, let me talk to the guests!”
Although Qi Changliang didn’t agree with his daughter, he could only sigh when he saw the pleading look in his daughter’s eyes. “Then I’ll get you a shirt. Put it on and come out!”
“Okay!” The girl replied in a soft voice.
Qi Changliang entered the room and gave his daughter a shirt. Then, he helped the girl to the wooden table.
This girl was undoubtedly a girl with a good upbringing.
After she sat down, she looked at her father gratefully, then at Yu Peng and Jiao Hang.
“My name is Qi Juan. I’m the girl you said is in love with Liu Mingkun! It’s just that you seem to have been deceived by Liu Mingkun. He and I indeed used to be in love, but I’m definitely not the reason he wants to resolve the conflict between the two villages, because he’s the reason I became so weak!”
Yu Peng and Jiao Hang were shocked when they heard Qi Juan’s words.
The two of them had thought of many possibilities, but they didn’t expect things to develop like this.
“It seems that this is the first time the two of you have heard of it! I don’t know what Liu Mingkun told you, but you just have to remember one thing. If you have a girl in your family, you must send someone to protect her well and not let Liu Mingkun get close to her.”
“As long as Liu Mingkun wants to get close to a woman, he can easily make a woman fall in love with him and satisfy everything he wants. The most terrifying thing is that these women lose themselves and get carried away by his lies. I was like this back then!”
When Yu Peng heard this, he looked at the girl in front of him and asked, “Did Liu Mingkun cause you to become like this?”
Qi Juan nodded and suddenly smiled.
“Actually, I asked for it.. Because I didn’t agree to his requests, he poisoned
me!”
