Chapter 575 - 575 569
?Chapter 575: Chapter 569 Chapter 575: Chapter 569 At the time, before they could even enter the village, Lu Ye and the armed forces’ elder, Old Xu, and a few others were stopped by Zhao Cheng and his group, who were leaving the village.
Zhao Cheng looked at the group in front of him with surprise, revealing a naive smile as he nervously rubbed his hands together and stuttered, “… Lea… leaders, we’re going to go back to work right away, really sorry, we’ll work extra and stay up at night to make up for the delay.”
Lu Ye and Old Xu exchanged glances, and Old Xu directly asked, “Did the city’s work team come to your village for an investigation?”
Zhao Cheng pretended to be stunned for a moment, rubbed his large hands, then scratched the back of his neck in a confused manner, saying, “What work team? We don’t know, haven’t seen any.”
“Then why are you all not working and running back here, even saying that your wives are about to be taken away by others?”
That was what Qiao Qingyu had heard, but no more words could be pulled out of those people’s mouths.
Of course, there truly wasn’t any time to ask; if given time, how could there possibly be a shell that couldn’t be cracked open?
A man who was older than Zhao Cheng just smiled naively and said, “Ah, that thing… well, aren’t we all out working? The wives and mothers at home got into a fight, so we were worried and quickly ran back, but then it turned out to be nothing, so we’re hurrying back to work…”
Lu Ye stared grimly at the group in front of him, some holding sticks, some holding hoes, some standing empty-handed at the entrance of the village, a dark mass of people, but one could feel that these people were very united. Saying they were a single entity wasn’t an exaggeration.
