Transmigration: The Farm Life of a “Fool”

As soon as Elder Daddy Xu said that, everyone fell silent.

The people around didn’t expect that Elder Daddy Xu would be so ruthless. He actually wanted his own son to be dead. How could he be so heartless?

After momentary silence, some people began to talk about Elder Daddy Xu.

What Elder Daddy Xu had said was what he truly thought in his heart, but he had never thought to speak it out in front of so many people. Right after he said it, he knew he made a mistake.

It was no use crying over spilt milk. He had already said it out, and so many people had heard it, but he didn’t felt regretful until he heard the gossips of these villagers.

Xu Cheng also realized that the situation was out of his control, so he gave an immediate explanation, “Xu Ran, daddy was just so furious that he said something against his own wish.”

Xu Cheng was not well-educated, so he was not eloquent. He meant to ease the tension by saying that, but what he had said made the situation worse.

Xu Ran didn’t want to say anything at this moment. After all, it was not the right time to say something. And thus he showed a sad look on his face.

Wu Mei was irritated by Elder Daddy Xu’s words. He stood with arms akimbo and pointed at Xu Cheng and Elder Daddy Xu “Xu Ran didn’t say much yet, which even made you furious, and you want him dead as a result. What if you flew into a rage? Would you curse Xu Ran and his spouse as well as their children to be dead? What a heartless person you are! No one in the world is crueller than you!”

Elder Daddy Xu was so annoyed by Wu Mei’s words, but he didn’t dare to refute. Seeing Xu Ran who was just standing aside silently, Elder Daddy Xu blew off steam on him, “How ungrateful you are you! You’re just standing aloof and keeping silent. Don’t you see I am bullied by an outsider?”

Totally ignoring what Elder Daddy Xu said, Xu Ran relied slowly, “Daddy, didn’t you want me to die? How could I say something which may irritate you again?”

“You… you…” Elder Daddy Xu was so angry that he couldn’t even say a word.

“The village head is here.” Someone shouted, and then the crowd made noises again.

The village head, along with his spouse, squeezed past the crowd and came to the front of Xu Cheng and Elder Daddy Xu, looking at them angrily, “Xu Houcai’s spouse, why do you make trouble out of nothing once again? I was on the spot when you split up the family with Xu Ran at that time. You had said that Xu Ran would have nothing to do with your family in the future. Why have I heard that you come to make trouble for him again?”

“How could you say I’m here to make trouble for Xu Ran, village head? Xu Ran is my son. There are no enough helpers to reap rice in my family. What’s wrong with me to ask him to go back and help me? Couldn’t I let my son help?” Elder Daddy Xu was a rascal after all. He showed no respect to the village head.

“To reap rice? How interesting! Don’t be insane. You know how you treated Xu Ran yourself. Xu Ran and his family don’t get any money or land from you. Even the house he’s living in has been built by Xu An and others. As an elder, you shouldn’t be so shameless! Don’t make a fool of yourself here.”

The spouse of the village head also couldn’t bear Elder Daddy Xu’s bad manners. Naturally, he stood out to support his husband.

At the same time, other people around also said, “You should stop what you are doing to maintain the good luck of your grandsons !”

“That’s right. Don’t you even consider your grandchildren?”

Hearing what people said, Elder Daddy Xu was also a little scared. If the villagers all thought so, then their family would be disdianed by them in the future. Thinking about Xu Hui and Xu Qiang, Elder Daddy Xu fought back his desire to argue and took Xu Cheng home.

Xu Cheng, just a coward, didn’t dare to say anything but went home with Elder Daddy Xu.

After two troublemakers went away, Xu Ran expressed his thanks to all these kind people, and invited the village head, his spouse and Wu Mei into his little bamboo home.

The village head had come here when the bamboo house had just been built. At that time, he could see nothing in it. Although the home was poorly equipped now, it was way better than before. And the life of Xu Ran and his spouse would also be better.

Liu Tong cleaned up the table after the two kids finished their meal. He hadn’t gone out but kept an ear out for the situation outside. Thus, when Elder Daddy Xu and Xu Cheng had done, he immediately walked towards Xu Ran..

Seeing Xu Ran was fine in person, Liu Tong finally rest assured.

Wu Mei laughed, “You just love Xu Ran so ardently!”

Hearing what Wu Mei had said, Liu Tong just smiled. And then he invited the village head and his spouse to get into the room and got them some drinking water.
