Looking at Su Cen and her mother, they truly felt that their child was amazing.
Indeed, if one wanted to be successful, one had to boldly walk out of the village.
Back then, when Su Cen ran away, many of them thought that they would like to see what kind of success she would have after running away from home and being disobedient. Many of those who had failed in their marriage proposals also thought that they would like to see what kind of husband Su Cen would find in the future.
Now, even though they didn't know what kind of husband Su Cen had found, they knew that he was definitely not an ordinary man, seeing how noble she was now.
Thus, everyone forgot how they had mocked her behind her back. Now that she had returned to the village in glory, they could only sigh. It was better to go out and have a future.
Su Cen smiled as she looked at the people who used to be her fellow villagers. Now, they were unrecognizable.
She said, "Thank you, everyone, for taking care of my mother all these years."
"It's fine, it's fine. Your family is full of good people, that's why you have such good fortune. You're also a good person, that's why you're so blessed. Aiya, this Lin Che is really pretty. I heard he's a big star."
Lin Che smiled and replied, "That's all. Thank you for the compliment."
Most of them said the same thing, and Lin Che was getting a little numb as she listened to them.
Looking at her grandmother, she thought to herself, This is life. When you come, it's lively. When you leave, it's lively …
But at this moment …
Suddenly, a sound came from outside.
When everyone heard it, they knew that the village chief had arrived.
Lin Che frowned. These people were really too much. They couldn't even let her have a proper funeral.
She stood there and said angrily, "Seriously … Mom, wait here."
Su Cen said, "Don't go over. Your body can't take it. Take a look first."
Lin Che said, "Don't worry, Mom. I have people watching me. They can't touch me."
What a joke. She was surrounded by the Gu family's personal guards. It would be difficult for these people to touch her.
However, when the villagers saw this, they hurriedly pulled Su Cen and said, "You're a girl. Don't fight them head-on."
Su Cen said, "I know, Auntie. It's just that they've gone overboard today. My mother's body hasn't even turned cold yet, but they're not letting us bury her properly."
The villager said in a low voice, "You guys don't know this, but he's become more powerful in recent years. I heard that his sister married a high-ranking official in the city. His relatives are everywhere from the city to the town, so no one dares to do anything to him. Since ancient times, commoners don't fight with officials. We'd better stay away from him. In the past, there were people who wanted to fight him in court, but in the end, they couldn't beat him.
Lin Che snorted and said, "This local bully is indeed powerful."
When the villagers heard her say it so straightforwardly, although it was the truth, they were still scared.
"You guys are from the outside, so you don't know. If he hears this, he might get angry and cause trouble again. Look, the whole village respects him. Who dares to offend him?"
Lin Che looked at Su Cen and said, "It's okay, Mom. Let me go over and take a look. He can't hurt me."
Su Cen was still worried, but Lin Che had already patted the back of her hand to comfort her. He then walked over first.
Outside.
As expected, a few people had already pulled up the curtains at the side with great fanfare. The villagers had actually prepared their own things to hold a funeral for the old lady.
However, they didn't expect Gu Jingze to make the funeral so high-end. He had built an auditorium, a crystal coffin, and a memorial service. It looked like a funeral for an official.
This made their funeral seem even more extravagant. It was originally just for show. They pulled up a blue curtain, and inside it were wreaths and black and white photos.
They even set up a suona team outside.
Seeing that they had come out, the village director immediately said, "Play it for me."
The sound of the suona was loud and it was irritating to hear.
Lin Che walked over and said, "Don't go too far."
Seeing that a young lady like Lin Che had actually walked over by herself, the few people became even more unbridled. The village director said, "You didn't bring a man with you. Let the man handle this. Don't interfere."
Lin Che said, "My man doesn't have to care about these small matters."
Letting Gu Jingze handle these hooligans was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
She couldn't bear to let Gu Jingze come up.
The village director looked at her with his slightly bulging belly and laughed mockingly. "Lin Che, don't think that I won't dare to mess with you just because you're a celebrity. Humph, I see that you're educated and know the law. The old lady is from our village and we have the obligation to hold a funeral for her. Don't be in such a hurry to hold a funeral. It's as if you're really the old lady's relatives. Even if you hold a funeral, the house won't be yours."
The suona continued playing. The sound made Lin Che feel disgusted.
She hated that they were causing trouble here and making her grandmother unable to rest in peace.
She narrowed her eyes and looked around. Then, she ordered the people behind her, "I don't want to hear such noise."
This order was enough. A few bodyguards immediately walked over.
The village director saw what these people were going to do.
He rolled up his sleeves, put his hands on his waist and said rudely, "Ha, you want to use force? Let me tell you, the whole village is my people. If you want to fight, we'll fight together. You won't be able to get away with it."
He even called out to the people behind him, wanting them to fight directly.
But unexpectedly, a few men had already gone forward. They grabbed the suona and threw it on the ground.
The village director laughed and said, "How dare you."
With that, he ordered the men to fight together.
The villagers inside immediately felt that things were going to get worse.
After all, Lin Che was still young and too impulsive. How could he let these people fight?
When that happened, Lin Che would definitely not have a good time.
But unexpectedly, after the few of them went up together, the people behind the village director surrounded them.
Unfortunately, they couldn't beat him even though they were ganging up on him.
He easily overturned all of them on the ground.
The villagers watched from behind and were surprised.
"What kind of people did Lin Che bring?"
"You don't understand. They're bodyguards. Big celebrities always have bodyguards behind them."
"Bodyguards are so powerful."
"Of course. They spent a lot of money to hire them. They're definitely more powerful than us ordinary people. Beating us ordinary people is like playing a game to them."
"But Lin Che won't have a good time offending the village director. The director has people above him. Don't let the police come and arrest him later."
Indeed, the person who was beaten up unsteadily made the village director furious.
He pointed at Lin Che and said, "You … you still dare to hit people. You really don't want to live anymore. Just you wait."
Lin Che said, "There's still one more person. I don't want to see this person either. Throw him away."
A few bodyguards immediately walked towards the village director.
The village director's face was no longer as arrogant as before. He looked a little scared as he retreated. He pointed at Lin Che and scolded, "You dare to let people hit me. Do you still want to walk out of this village? You … you …"
But Lin Che was really that daring.
When the village director saw this, he immediately turned around and ran away.
