Chapter 96 A Greedy Man
“Hello, my name is Jude, the son of the village chief of Easton Lane Valley. My father is busy, so he asked me to entertain you.”
Just as Morris Cheal was staring at Vivian Mond in a daze, a tanned, tall, thin, and tall sunshine boy walked towards them.
Jude Pillar looked like he was in his early twenties. He spoke Mandarin very well, giving people a sense of simplicity and intimacy.
He reached out his hand in a friendly manner, and Morris Cheal also reached out to shake hands with him. “Morris Cheal.”
After Vivian Mond finished distributing the snacks, the children ran away happily. The villagers in the village also gathered together.
“Hi, hello, my name is Vivian Mond.”
Vivian Mond stepped forward and waved at Jude.
“Welcome to Easton Lane Valley.”
Jude grinned and greeted Vivian Mond.
“I came to the county of Lansing to do public service on behalf of Reign Company. I also brought many things for the children. They are all behind. They will arrive soon.”
She said.
“Thank you, thank you. On behalf of we Easton Lane Valley, I thank you for coming. Come, my family has prepared lunch. Come and eat together.”
Jude said to them.
The villagers didn’t speak Mandarin very well, so they just stood aside and watched. Although they didn’t speak, they were all smiling and very kind.
Vivian Mond and Morris Cheal followed Jude towards his home.
Along the way, Jude introduced the situation of Easton Lane Valley enthusiastically, and the two of them knew a little more.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
At Jude’s home, Vivian Mond saw Karl Chad and Morris Cheal’s… Bodyguards?
Vivian Mond wasn’t sure about the identities of the two men, but judging from their strong bodies and strong chest muscles, they were not ordinary people.
Easton Lane Valley was at the foot of the mountain. Although Jude’s family was the richest in Easton Lane Valley, they only had five mud brick houses with rows of black brick tiles on the roof. There was a large bamboo forest behind the house and a pond at the door.
She stood at the door, listening to the barking of dogs, chickens, and the gurgling of spring water, as if she had entered a paradise. The scenery was picturesque and the temperature was pleasant.
If it weren’t for the fact that it was too far away from the outside world and there were several mountains between them, perhaps they would have been able to develop tourism.
After entering Jude’s house, the few of them sat together and chatted. Not long after, the old village chief returned.
The old village chief’s skin was dark and his forehead was full of wrinkles. He was not tall and slightly stooped. He was wearing a sleeveless white thin vest. In front of him was a row of plates, matched with loose black pants and… straw shoes, a dark blue scarf cap, and a pipe in her hand.
“Welcome. I had something to do just now, so I came back late. Sorry to neglect you.”
The old village chief’s Mandarin was not too good. He spoke with local dialect and could vaguely hear what he was saying .
After greeting the old village head, they sat down and drank together.
The lunch was very sumptuous. Village Chief killed a chicken and a goose and treated them warmly.
After dinner, Village Chief said, “Vivian Mond, since you’re a girl, you can live in our house. My house is spacious and has a door, so it’s more convenient for you. The few men can live in Mrs. Li’s and San’s house next door.”
“Okay, thank you, Village Chief. I’ll listen to your arrangements.”
Vivian Mond was very grateful.
She pushed the door of the room with her luggage and walked in.
There was a window in the room. The window was not very big and the lighting was not good, so it was a little dim. But it had to be said that the room was indeed very clean.
She put down the things and turned around to see Morris Cheal standing at the door, looking at her meaningfully.
“What’s wrong? Are you jealous of me? Morris Cheal, don’t tell me you’re also robbing me of a room?”
She glanced at him and chuckled. “Let’s go. I’ll go check your room.”
As he spoke, he dragged Morris Cheal out.
They went to Mrs. Li’s house with Jude. There were only three rooms in Mrs. Li’s house, one bedroom, one central room, and one kitchen.
Mrs. Li said warmly, “You’re here. Come in quickly. I’ve cleaned up the room for you. You can live in the central room.”
The central room was the living room and the bedroom.
Karl Chad asked in confusion, “Where do you live if we live?”
“It’s okay. Let’s set up a bed in the cow shed and sleep in the cow shed.” Mrs. Li said.
Hearing her words, they fell silent.
She wanted to refuse, but she couldn’t resist the enthusiasm of the villagers and stayed there.
After a short rest, another group of people came in the afternoon.
After asking around, Vivian Mond found out that the person who came was from the Shaw family. They were also the sister of Quintel Shaw, the father of Issac, and the sister of Issac, Yeon Shaw.
“Hey, Jude said that no one has been to Easton Lane Valley before. Why are there so many people all of a sudden?” Vivian Mond tugged at Morris Cheal’s sleeve and asked.
Morris Cheal glanced at her coldly. “I don’t know.”
Then, he turned around and left.
Vivian Mond was confused. Seeing that he was inexplicably angry, she chased after him and blocked his way. “Are you crazy? Why are you angry for no reason? Did I provoke you?”
The man stopped, and there was a little coldness on his handsome face. “I asked you to stay away from Issac, and my words are like the wind in my ears?”
Vivian Mond finally understood why he was angry.
It turned out that Morris Cheal was angry because she was working in Reign Company, which was Issac’s company.
She suddenly became angry. “You’re just my sworn brother, not my mother! You didn’t give birth to me, didn’t raise me, and I’m not my man. Why should I listen to you?”
Vivian Mond glared at him and snorted. She stomped her feet and scolded, “You’re insane!”
Then she bypassed him and left directly.
In the afternoon, more and more people rushed into Easton Lane Valley, and many of them were reporters.
Although there was no signal here, as long as they left Easton Lane Valley, the news could still be sent.
The donated goods driven outside the mountain were also delivered to Easton Lane Valley bit by bit. The enthusiastic villagers also joined the delivery team to move those things into the mountain.
Vivian Mond finally learned that this time, the main project was a public security organized by government, asking famous companies in Houston to come to the county of Lansing to do public service.
Coincidentally, the Shaw family was sent to Easton Lane Valley. The people sent by Shaw Company were also arranged here.
Everyone had been busy the entire afternoon. Vivian Mond joined them in carrying the items.
He was busy until 10 o’clock in the evening.
When she returned to the village chief’s house wearily, pushed the door open and went back to the house, she turned on the lights, she found that someone was sleeping on the bed.
“Oh, I just turned off the lights. Who… Vivian Mond?”
The woman in pajamas on the bed sat up and glared at Vivian Mond.
Only then did Vivian Mond realize that this person was Issac’s younger sister, Yeon Shaw, not others.
“Why are you here?”
Vivian Mond asked her.
“There’s nowhere to sleep in the village. Village Chief said that my identity is expensive, so he asked me to sleep with you here.” After saying that, Yeon Shaw directly fell asleep on the bed.
