Chapter 192: Strike According to the Standard of 100,000 Yuan Treatment Fee

“Good, good, very good. Since you’re saying it like that, don’t blame me for disregarding our village ties.”

Xu Shaochen repeated the word ‘good’ three times in a row. He had given the other party opportunities again and again.

Since peaceful words were not working, it was time to switch to a simpler, more direct, and forceful method that everyone could understand.

“Hmph! A toad yawns with great bravado, let’s see what you are capable of. Let’s see if you can devour me today!”

Xu Tiezhui gave a cold snort, grabbed a nearby hoe, and looked at Xu Shaochen with disdain.

“Xu Shaochen, if you can take back this house today, then my years as the village chief will have been for nothing!”

Xu Youwei also spoke decisively, spitting in anger.

A kid who lost his father and has a sick mother dares to threaten him? Ridiculous! A fool who doesn’t know their place.

The woman in jeans stood aside without speaking but crossed her arms and looked at Xu Shaochen with arrogance.

“Vroom, vroom…”

The roar of an engine sounded, and everyone quickly moved aside to make way for the car.

A G-Class SUV stopped at the entrance. Song Xinran, along with Long Yi and Long Er, stepped out.

“Honored guests, I’m sorry for not welcoming you earlier. I am the village chief here. Are you here for tourism or an inspection?”

Seeing the imposing G-Class and the well-dressed trio, Xu Youwei’s eyes lit up. He quickly ran over, wagging like a lapdog.

These three were clearly wealthy city folks. If he could help them out, surely there would be a generous tip.

This was one of Xu Youwei’s ways to make money—acting as a guide for city people who wanted to experience rural life, earning himself a reward.

He even declared that only he could run this business in the village. Anyone who dared to compete would lose their welfare benefits and land rights.

After all, this income was considerable. City people were generous; they’d drop a few hundred at a time, enough to sustain rural folks for days.

That’s why he was acting so obsequious now. These people were rich, and in this world, money is king.

Yet, somehow, that city woman looked familiar.

Song Xinran merely furrowed her elegant brows, ignoring him. Instead, she quickly moved to Xu Shaochen’s side: “Shaochen, are you okay?”

“Boss.” Long Yi and Long Er also walked over.

Wow! Watching this scene, everyone except those at the village gate was stunned, staring at Xu Shaochen in disbelief.

“This… how is this possible?”

Xu Youwei and Xu Tiezhui, father and son, were utterly dumbfounded, their faces full of disbelief.

How could this poor brat Xu Shaochen be connected to such a beautiful city woman?

And why did those two call Xu Shaochen ‘Boss’?

Isn’t this kid supposed to be in college? How did he end up as a boss? Looking at the G-Class outside, Xu Youwei’s expression turned from uncertain to brightly smiling: “Shaochen, it’s all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! I was just worried that since no one was living in your house, the rats might ruin the furniture. So I let Tiezhui and his wife watch over the place. What I said earlier was just a joke, nothing more.”

It didn’t matter how Xu Shaochen became a boss. What mattered was that he was rich now.

You can’t mess with rich people.

The others cursed under their breath, calling Xu Youwei shameless. Just a moment ago, he was arrogant and self-satisfied, and now he’s pretending he was just helping out.

His face changes faster than the weather. Indeed, a shameless man is invincible.

“Yes, yes, yes, we were just keeping an eye on your house. Many places in the courtyard were old, so we even renovated them for you. No need to thank us.”

Xu Tiezhui also put on a flattering smile, subtly placing the hoe down.

Hearing this, Song Xinran immediately understood what was going on. The shameless old man Xu Youwei wanted to take over Xu Shaochen’s house.

“Is that so? How much did the renovation cost?” Xu Shaochen asked expressionlessly.

Xu Tiezhui and Xu Youwei exchanged glances, unsure of Xu Shaochen’s intentions. They cautiously replied, “Not much, just a little over 3,000 yuan.”

In reality, it had cost only 2,000 yuan. He had intentionally inflated the number by 1,000.

“3,000, huh?” Xu Shaochen smiled, pulling out a stack of money from his wallet and throwing it over: “Is that enough?”

“This… this is too much, but it’s enough, it’s enough! Since you’re back, you can take care of the house yourself. We’ll move out immediately.”

Xu Youwei’s eyes lit up as he hurriedly caught the money, smiling so hard it was like a flower blooming. He prepared to pack up and leave.

This is over 10,000 yuan! What a windfall.

Xu Tiezhui and his wife were also beaming as they prepared to help.

“Wait. I’ve paid you for the renovation. Now, shouldn’t we settle the matter of you trying to take over my ancestral house and insulting my parents?”

Xu Shaochen’s light and carefree voice reached the three’s ears as they turned their backs.

Their bodies instantly stiffened, and they hesitated, unable to take another step.

“Shaochen… what do you mean by this?” Xu Youwei swallowed hard, squeezing out a flattering smile.

“Nothing much. Just that it’s time to settle accounts.” Xu Shaochen replied with a faint smile before turning to Long Yi and Long Er: “Beat them according to the standard of a 100,000-yuan treatment fee. Once you’re done, throw them out.”

Hiss—

Upon hearing this, the crowd outside gasped.

They initially thought Xu Shaochen had let things slide. They didn’t expect it was just the beginning.

“According to the standard of a 100,000-yuan treatment fee? That’s essentially a beating to death!”

“Yes, Boss.”

Long Yi and Long Er responded simultaneously, immediately blocking Xu Youwei and Xu Tiezhui’s father and son from leaving.

“I have nothing to do with this. I just married into this family!”

The woman in jeans hurriedly distanced herself, trembling and hurriedly running to the side.

“Shaochen… we’re all from the same village. You should still call me ‘Uncle’ by seniority. Let’s not go this far, alright?”

Xu Youwei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, forced a stiff smile, and his hands holding the money trembled uncontrollably.

“Uncle? You think you’re worthy?”

Xu Shaochen sneered with a mocking expression, full of disdain.

Xu Youwei’s face turned alternately blue and white, unsure whether from anger or shame.

“Don’t come any closer… don’t come any closer.”

Xu Tiezhui quickly picked up the hoe he had just discarded, watching Long Yi advancing toward him with fear in his eyes.
