Chapter 201: Two hundred and one, how could it go wrong!_1

Uncle Guang glanced at the rearview mirror, "Madam, I’m afraid we may have to park the car here."

After all, such a car driving into the village was far too conspicuous; not being noticed was almost impossible.

Wu Shuhui nodded her head, she was dressed in a navy blue qipao today, with no patterns or designs, an outfit she usually wore for praying and worshipping.

Simple and clean.

Uncle Guang had also changed his outfit, donning a pair of cloth shoes and a T-shirt.

The two of them dressed like this to avoid drawing attention.

There was a row of trees planted at the entrance of the village, and there was also an abandoned clinic by the gate, which looked quite desolate.

Uncle Guang parked the car behind the clinic, making sure it wouldn’t be noticed, and then nodded to Wu Shuhui, "Madam, let’s get out of the car."

"Sure," Wu Shuhui agreed as she pushed open the car door, and the two of them, one behind the other, headed towards the address Gu Chen had provided.

The Ji Pianran family lived not far from the village entrance, in the front part of the village, but the Lei Family’s home was located further back, in the rear part of the village.

Luckily, the village was small, and after walking for about fifteen minutes, the two arrived at Lei Bo’s house.

At this moment, Lei Bo was chatting with his old man about Gu Chen’s land lease.

The father and son, neither could stand to see Gu Chen prosper, especially Lei Bo.

Ever since Gu Chen had beaten him up the last time, Lei Bo had harbored a deep hatred for him in his bones.

But there was nothing he could do about it.

He could neither stand to see him nor take him down.

These past few days, with Gu Chen succeeding in leasing land again, the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became.

He always felt that he had to come up with some way to make sure Gu Chen couldn’t have such an easy time.

"Dad, what do you think about us leasing some land too?"

Lei Bo was leaning against the doorway, staring at his father squatting on the ground and smoking.

Hearing this, Lei Guanghui flicked off the ash, looking quite impatient.

"Are you out of your mind? What were you doing earlier? Now that everyone else has leased the land, you’re making a fuss about leasing land too. That’s land, not scallions in the field that can grow back in a couple of days!"

"Besides, lease land, lease land, what are you going to farm after leasing it? You’re almost thirty, and what do you have in that head of yours, laundry detergent?"

Lei Guanghui was utterly disappointed with his younger son.

Not half as promising as his older brother!

Useless in everything except for having an appetite!

Hearing his father’s stern tone, Lei Bo sheepishly closed his mouth.

No good, he had to find a way to deal with Gu Chen properly.

Worse comes to worst, just buy more laundry detergent. No matter what he grows, a piece of land, a bag of detergent, water it afterward, and nothing will survive!

Let him show off his capabilities!

As he was pondering, he heard a "knock knock knock" at the door.

Upon hearing the knock, Lei Guanghui immediately tossed the cigarette butt on the ground.

He snuffed it out with his foot and stood up, glancing at his son who was still foolishly standing at the doorway, "What are you dazed for, go open the door."

After speaking, he lowered his head and walked inside.

Lei Bo grimaced, his face a mix of anger and helplessness.

Every time someone came to the house, it was the same; just a second ago, he was smoking in the yard, but as soon as visitors arrived, he’d go straight to looking at maps.

He’s just a village official, for heaven’s sake.

Anyone who didn’t know better would think he was a national leader!

Lei Bo opened the door and took a good look at Wu Shuhui outside.

The woman at the door looked to be in her forties.

She had an excellent demeanor and fair skin, though not as firm as that of a younger person.

However, this did not detract from her inherent quality and cultivation.

Lei Bo had never seen her before and had no idea what she was there for.

He asked warily, "Who are you?"

"Hello, it’s like this, I heard that you have some top-quality matsutake for sale, I just came to ask and see if I could buy some from you."

Wu Shuhui was extremely nervous as she spoke, her hands tightly clenched and involuntarily seeping sweat, the palms wet and damp.

At her words, Lei Bo was baffled.

"Matsutake? What is matsutake?"

He had no idea what matsutake was.

He had never heard of it, let alone seen it.

Seeing Lei Bo’s confused face, Wu Shuhui grew anxious.

"How could that be? My friend is in the hospital, and he said the matsutake he ate was bought from you, this big and of great quality."

She gestured with her hands.

She had planned to use the purchase of matsutake as an excuse to enter his house and check on the child.

But not only did Lei Bo not allow her to enter, he didn’t even know what matsutake was—this was outrageous.

Uncle Guang was hiding at the back of the house, listening in. Wu Shuhui was worried Guai Guai would recognize Uncle Guang, so she had come to knock on the door alone.

But now, she was also at a loss for what to do.

Upon hearing this unexpected outcome, Uncle Guang’s face was also filled with confusion—what on earth was going on?

Lei Bo looked at Wu Shuhui with a tone carrying inexplicable feelings.

"No, by the look of you, you’re not from around here, are you? Who told you our family sells matsutake?"

Who was blabbering such nonsense without a clue? When had their family ever grown matsutake? Growing vegetables was what poor people did!

Their family certainly didn’t!

What on earth was going on?

Just as he was wondering, Dong Qingfang returned from outside with the child.

Seeing Lei Bo standing at the door talking to a strange woman, she approached Wu Shuhui with a curious expression, "Who are you looking for?"

Wu Shuhui, looking at the chubby-faced Dong Qingfang and the equally plump child she was holding, felt completely hopeless.

This family was definitely not the one she was looking for.

She managed a forced smile, her voice indescribably forlorn, "I, I might have really come to the wrong place."

After speaking, Wu Shuhui prepared to leave, her head lowered.

At that moment, Lei Guanghui, who had been examining the map for quite some time inside the house, grew anxious upon seeing that no one had come in, and stealthily peered out the window.

And there he saw Wu Shuhui, ready to walk away with her head down.

His eyelids twitched at once.

My goodness, this person sure was good-looking.

And clearly, she wasn’t from this village.

She must have encountered some difficulty and came seeking help, knowing that he was a village official!

With that thought, Lei Guanghui quickly straightened his coarse clothing and stepped out of the house.

With a stern expression, he began to chide Lei Bo, "What’s going on? Why didn’t you invite her inside?"

Lei Bo looked bewildered, "Dad, she said she wants to buy matsutake, she must have come to the wrong place!"

There were no matsutake at their home.

This person was an outsider; it was clear she had made a mistake.

Hearing about matsutake, Lei Guanghui’s eyelids twitched.

My word.

Matsutake?

That stuff wasn’t cheap! Last time he went to the city, he heard his eldest son say he had eaten it just once with some higher-ups, claiming it to be more expensive than gold!

Lei Guanghui stepped forward quickly, smiling and nodding towards Wu Shuhui with the utmost warmth.

"You must have come to the wrong place; we don’t sell matsutake here."

At that point, Wu Shuhui was also unable to make sense of the situation, only sighing.

"But, but the address is clearly right here."

She really wished she could pull out the receipt and show it to Lei Guanghui for a good look.

The address was indeed this one; she had recited it to herself over and over in her mind, having memorized it by heart—there was no chance she was wrong, absolutely no chance.
