Chapter 1,397 Causes and Consequences

Village Chief Zhong is the richest family in Zhongjia Village. Not only does his family have a rich family background, one of his two brothers is a Juren, and the other is doing business in the county town, and they have made a lot of money.

As the only son of Village Chief Zhong, Zhong Hao not only has high hopes, but also has the highest net worth in the village.

Now that Zhong Hao is over sixteen, matchmakers from all over the country have almost broken through the Zhong family's doorstep.

If the Zhong family hadn't been picking and choosing, Zhong Hao would have been able to marry a wife at the age of thirteen or fourteen, let alone sixteen.

But at this age, the Zhong family also knew that they could not delay any longer, so they found a girl's home in the county with good conditions and wanted to come to propose marriage.

However, Zhong Hao was not happy. He fell in love with Li Miao, a girl from the Li family in the village.

When Dongqing Temple Master said this, he took another sip of water and looked at Shu Yu, "That's the skinny little girl you saw today."

Zhongjia Village is called Zhongjia Village because two-thirds of the people in the village have the surname Zhong, and their ancestors are all from the same family.

The Li family is from outside, and Li Miao and her daughter fled the famine a few years ago and settled here.

In addition to the mother and daughter, there is also an eight-year-old brother in their family.

The family lived a miserable life, and their presence in Zhongjia Village was extremely weak. In addition, Li's mother was not in good health, so most of the family relied on Li Miao to support them.

As a result, this girl is seventeen years old and has not yet been engaged to get married.

The situation of the Li family, not to mention Village Chief Zhong's family, even other people in the village are not very optimistic about it.

Zhong Hao knew this very well.

Li Miao knew better, so after learning about Zhong Hao's intentions, she not only did not take the opportunity to cling to him, but instead became distant from him and tried every means to avoid people.

Shu Yu was curious, "Then what does Li Miao think about Zhong Hao?"

Temple Master Dongqing sighed softly, "So you are talking about crazy men and women. When the Li family fled from famine, it was inconvenient for them to be orphans and widowed in Zhongjia Village. As the son of the village chief, Donor Zhong helped He has done a lot of work and even saved Li Miao’s life.”

Shu Yu understood that Li Miao also liked Zhong Hao.

But they were not on good terms with each other, and there were too many things to worry about, and she would not let her emotions lead her.

Compared with the burden on Li Miao's shoulders, Zhong Hao has been pampered by his family since he was a child. He has never experienced what Li Miao has experienced, and his thoughts are much simpler and more straightforward.

Therefore, Zhong Hao has no hesitation in his relationship. The young man's impetus makes him eager to cut through all obstacles to carve a bright road for their future.

Fortunately, although he was simple, he was not stupid. He did not mention this to his family.

He knew where the root knot was. His parents felt that Li Miao was not worthy of him, so he would make himself worthy of Li Miao.

Shu Yu understood, "So he deliberately got up once every half a month to eat live chickens in the middle of the night, making people think he was possessed by evil spirits. Those with a little wealth looked down on him, and the Zhong family's parents wanted to talk to him about the marriage. Can you just take it slow?"

"Um."

Shu Yu had a strange expression and was confused.

Temple Master Dongqing raised his eyebrows, "I know you disdain his behavior."

"No, it's not that I don't like it, I just think... wouldn't it be disgusting for him to eat a live chicken?"

And once every half a month, how could he swallow it?

Thinking of this, Shu Yu couldn't help but shudder violently.

Temple Master Dongqing, "..." She began to doubt her fortune-telling skills. Why couldn't she see what she was thinking?
