Village Beauty 577, Main Text 577 Chapter: The Village Head Angers 577 Chapter: The Village Head Angers "Lu Yun, why have you taken so long to return?" Lu Yun, drenched in sweat, rushed to Lu Xiaoying's side. Clearly impatient, she looked at him with a frown, asking, "What's taking you so long?" Lu Yun had no words to offer—having endured two fierce battles himself, he had barely managed to snatch a few fruits, and even now, with his lower body tensed tightly, he dared not let Lu Xiaoying see. Bending slightly, he said, "Heh, Xiaoying, Old Stubborn has returned to the courtyard. I was nearly devoured by his big hound!" Lu Xiaoying was startled, examining Lu Yun from head to toe, then asked, "Are you all right?" Lu Yun smiled, "I'm fine. Let's go now—these fruits are enough to last us. If we delay too long and Old Stubborn spots us, we'll both be in trouble." Lu Xiaoying nodded, glanced around, and hurried home, holding onto Lu Yun's arm. At a crossroad, the village head suddenly stepped out, seeing Lu Yun and Xiaoying closely together, and frowned, saying, "Lu Yun, come here." "You said if things aren't going well, you should go home first and let my dad reach you," Lu Xiaoying insisted, not feeling entirely at ease. Lu Yun chuckled, "Don't worry, take these fruits back and have Ling teacher try them." Lu Xiaoying nodded and turned to the village head, "Dad, I'll go home now." The village head nodded seriously, and Lu Xiaoying, with a determined breath, tucked the fruits from Lu Yun into her coat pocket and turned to walk away. As soon as Lu Xiaoying left, Lu Yun immediately approached the village head with a cheerful expression, grinning and saying, "Uncle, what's up with you?" The village head snapped, "You stubborn kid! I've warned you time and again not to be close to my little Ying—do you think I'm just blowing wind?" Lu Yun quickly countered, "Uncle, that's not true at all—what's so special about me and Xiaoying?" "What were you two doing just now, hugging and chatting so warmly?" The village elder's face was flushed with anger, clearly still simmering from his frustration in the old stubborn man's orchard. Now, seeing Lu Yun and Xiao Ying together, he poured all his ire directly onto Lu Yun. "What have you done? Even if you're being affectionate, hasn't that been just as intimate as you and Li Lianhua were in the old man's orchard?" With Xiao Ying absent, Lu Yun certainly wouldn't take this old fellow's complaints lightly. Lu Yun held up well, but the village head was a bit troubled. It seemed this young man had indeed heard everything. Yet, when the persistent old man and his large wolf dog arrived at the orchard, the boy had quietly climbed up to the tree—clearly a hasty move, tinged with a touch of hope. The village head, flushed with embarrassment, asked, "What did you hear?" Lu Yun pretended to furrow his brow and thought for a moment. "I heard bits and pieces. Mrs. Liang mentioned that you were poking trouble with other women, and now your own wife is being treated just as well—she even mentioned my name. I'm not quite sure why, when you two were doing whatever it was, your wife would bring up my name." The village head suddenly remembered that, when he was fully into the rhythm of doing what Li Li Liang-hua was doing, she had apparently said something—something he had casually replied with, "Just go ahead and do it whenever you feel like it." Now it seemed that Land Yun had taken that to heart, and he was deeply regretful. From Li Liang-hua's words, it was clear that Land Yun had substantial strength—should his own wife really be outdone by him, then wearing the green hat would indeed feel rather unjust. This content is from Chapter 577 of "Rural Beauty." The village head glared at Land Yun with resentment, about to lose his temper, when Land Yun smiled warmly and stepped close, saying, "Uncle, it's obvious that the old stubborn man deliberately let his big wolf dog loose to bother you—so that you and Aunt Liang-hua wouldn't feel comfortable. You didn't notice, did you? I saw it clearly. After you were chased away by the big wolf dog, the old man went over, turned Aunt Liang-hua who was trembling with fear, and with one swift motion, he pressed himself firmly inside her. Aunt Liang-hua cried out in pain The village head was taken aback, his anger intensifying immediately. "You're saying that old stick-in-the-mud actually punctured the lotus flower?!" Land Yun, pretending to be afraid, replied, "Indeed. Didn't you know that back in his youth, old stick-in-the-mud was the most capable person in our village? With the lotus aunt standing there graceful and poised, how could things have turned out well?" Land Yun's words were true, though he also had his own insights—he had long known that the orchard on the eastern side of the village had been under old stick-in-the-mud's control for years. That man earned a solid income, and with his financial clout, he had often caused trouble for the village women. Now, having finally caught him off guard with a strong point of leverage, and with him now also displeasing the village head, a little extra push might just secure the orchard contract for his third uncle next year—thus freeing him from having to constantly go around doing carpentry work. The village head had no idea what Lu Yun was thinking. Hearing that the old stick-in-the-mud had taken the woman he liked, he immediately lost his temper and turned to shout, "By heaven! This old stick-in-the-mud is getting bolder and bolder. He dares to move on the woman I've been eyeing—what a joke! Next year, he won't even be able to keep the orchard contract!" With his goal achieved, Lu Yun saw the village head rushing off in a huff to confront the old man, so he quickly stepped in to stop him, saying, "Uncle, don't rush yet. If you go off like this, you'll just be chased out by the old man's big dogs. Calm down first—let's handle this thing carefully." "Carefully? What kind of careful planning is that?" the village head was furious, yet as he saw Lu Yun's awkward, humble smile, doubts began to stir inside him. He remembered how, during his own time working with Li Lianhua, this young man had listened to him with such attention—wouldn't it be true now that he was going to marry one of his own women? Before finishing her scolding, she abruptly turned and said, "Lu Yun, I'm warning you—don't have any ill intentions toward Xiao Ying. This time, I'll pass you by. Should I see you two being especially close again, watch out—I won't be so gentle with you!" …… Village Beauty No. 577, Main Text Chapter 577—The Village Head's Outburst Updated!
