Chapter 285 Village Chief’s High Regard
Liu Jin brought a jin of brown sugar and a box of green bean cakes, and went to the village head’s house. It was not until he lingered for a good half of the day that he left.
The village head watched the small figure leave his doorstep, picked up his tobacco pipe, and his face bore an expression that was hard to define.
"Old man, look." The village head’s wife showed him what Liu Jin had brought: "It’s brown sugar, and there are cakes too."
Upon seeing this, the village head sighed even deeper.
"What’s the matter?" The village head’s wife felt very puzzled by the old man’s expression.
"It’s really unexpected—Ying Mei and her family might make a comeback. Looking at their little house, it seems they’re on the rise," the village head said with a deep look in his eyes.
"What do you mean by that?"
The village head took a puff on his pipe and said, "That youngest one, Wufu, is quite capable and knows how to handle things. Now their household, they’ve even started to keep a servant. You might think that young kid is small in age, but he’s sharp and smart. Give it time, and he’ll surely achieve great things."
