Su Cen harrumphed. "Director, I've lived here for more than ten years. Don't you recognize me?"
"Ha … What? What do you mean by more than ten years? Who are you?"
Su Cen walked down the stairs step by step.
The few of them were so frightened by Su Cen that they wanted to retreat.
But they were stopped by the village director's gaze.
They were men. Why would they be afraid of Su Cen?
Su Cen came down and said, "Look carefully. Don't you recognize me? But I haven't forgotten you. I haven't forgotten how you embezzled our family's food and almost starved us to death in the winter. " Her smile was a little sinister. Although she was still beautiful, there was a hint of hatred in her eyes.
The village chief was used to acting like a tyrant here. He had relatives in town and in the city. Hence, after being the village chief for so many years, he even had a few plots of land. His family had built a six-story building, and no one could control him.
Su Cen said, "I haven't forgotten how you made my parents mow the grass in the early spring. They didn't get paid at all. They worked for nothing and were beaten and scolded by you.
"I haven't forgotten how you forced me to marry someone when I was still underage. When I refused, you pointed at my nose and scolded me."
Lin Che was even more furious as he listened. How could this person be so evil?
His mother had suffered even more than he had when she was young.
Lin Che looked at his mother with heartache. He felt that his mother must be stronger than him to be able to survive until now.
The people from the village committee looked at Su Cen, feeling guilty.
But the village director didn't think so.
He harrumphed and looked at Su Cen. "Who would remember these old things? Moreover, you're not Su Cen. Why are you pretending?"
He was prepared. He took out the household registration information and said, "Look, Old Madam's daughter, Su Cen, died a long time ago. You're not Su Cen at all!"
Su Cen pursed her lips and stood there, glaring angrily at this greedy man.
How could such a person live until now without anyone getting rid of him?
Lin Che walked over to Su Cen. "Mom, forget it. There's no need to talk to this kind of person. If he still had a conscience, he wouldn't be like this after so many years."
"You …" The village director looked at the mother and daughter.
Their family's genes were really good, and their daughter was so beautiful, very similar to her mother in the past.
Now, she has even become a big star. She's really promising.
Unfortunately, so what if you were a superstar? Here, he was the local tyrant. He didn't care who you were.
The village director chuckled as he looked at Lin Che, "Let me tell you, don't think that just because you're famous, you can act like a tyrant wherever you go. Over here, the Emperor is far away. Even if you're the Emperor, you still have to lower your head here. Don't you dare behave atrociously here. Otherwise, I won't give you any face."
Lin Che found it hard to imagine how a village director could have the nerve to say such arrogant words.
Perhaps it was because the Emperor was far away that there were so many weird and arrogant people.
The village director said, "Don't be so arrogant in front of me. If you dare to do anything, I'll go out and announce that you're abusing your power in our village. You're making money from land, building your own mansion, and even coming here to be the boss. When that happens, I'll see what you can do about it."
He knew that public figures were most afraid of these scandals, so they didn't dare to do anything.
Lin Che looked at this clown and didn't say anything. Then, he heard the doctor running out of the room.
"Miss Lin, Miss Lin, it's bad. The old lady can't take it anymore."
Lin Che and Su Cen were shocked when they heard that. They couldn't be bothered with the village director anymore.
They hurriedly walked into the room.
The old lady on the bed seemed to move slightly.
Lin Che and Su Cen leaned over the bed together.
Lin Che touched his grandmother's hand, "Grandma …"
Su Cen also called out, "Mom, we're back."
Her hand seemed to move again. She gently touched Lin Che and Su Cen's hands.
It was a very heartwarming sight that made one's heart feel warm.
Su Cen said calmly, "Mom, I haven't been able to be filial to you in this life. In the next life … In the next life, I'll still be your daughter."
Lin Che saw a tear trickle down his grandmother's wrinkled face.
However, the corner of her lips was curved into a smile.
Lin Che held her hand even more tightly, "Grandma, Grandma …"
On the machine beside them, the heartbeat slowly slowed down until it became a straight line …
In the end, his grandmother had finally completed her arduous life.
Lin Che also shed tears. He looked at his grandmother and stroked the wrinkles on her face reluctantly.
Everyone said that his grandmother had passed away peacefully. Her face looked very peaceful and not ferocious at all.
Some people might not even be able to tell how they really looked when they passed away, but the old lady still looked like her in the end. It was obvious that she wasn't in pain.
These were naturally words of comfort for those who were still alive. However, after hearing these words, Lin Che felt a little more comforted in his heart.
Gu Jingze was there to help with the funeral arrangements. Because the old lady was a simple person, she didn't have many belongings even though her life had become better. Her grave was chosen outside the village. Gu Jingze spent money to buy a large piece of land and planted fruit trees around it. Looking down from the hill, one could see a green wheat field.
Lin Che stayed at home to accompany Su Cen.
When Gu Jingze came back, Lin Che went out. He was touched to see that he was travel-worn and busy.
"Gu Jingze, you're the President of the Gu family. Why are you here to help with the funeral …"
Gu Jingze held her hand and said, "Silly girl, your grandmother is my grandmother too."
"That's different."
Some families were like this. At times like this, it was easy to see the difference.
Some sons-in-law would treat their mother's family's business as his own, while others would hide in a corner and ignore it if it didn't concern them.
Lin Che had never experienced this before, but he had heard many people talk about it.
However, Gu Jingze never differentiated between them. He would always say, "Your business is my business."
Lin Che said, "This time, it will probably be delayed for a few more days. That scoundrel still sends people to watch over us. We're so annoying."
If it weren't for the fact that he would be busy with the funeral and wanted his grandmother to pass away peacefully, he wouldn't have cared about them for the past few days.
Gu Jingze said, "Don't worry. They've been arrogant for a few days."
Lin Che said, "Tell me, how can such a person be a director?"
Gu Jingze said, "These small places have their own rules."
"But isn't this a problem? Can I report it to Mr. President?"
Gu Jingze raised his eyebrows. "Of course you can … You can call Mr. President now."
"Wow, that's too petty. Forget it. When the matter is settled, I'll talk to Min Min first and let him have some pillow talk."
