302: Bit by Bit

Bit by Bit

This was a perfect time to make a good impression on Father Xiao and Mother Xiao so, of course, Gong Tianhao wouldn't miss out on the opportunity.

Gong Tianhao said very seriously, "Auntie, Uncle, you don't need to do anything now. Just focus on your things.

"Leave everything to me. I will protect both the Little Cattle King and this family. You only need to trust me!"

Father Xiao and Mother Xiao were stunned.

Then, they added with gratitude and concern, "Tianhao, Auntie and Uncle are really grateful for your words. However, what if the developer is someone very powerful? We can't implicate you!"

Gong Tianhao didn't have any reaction, but Xiao Lingyu burst out laughing. With a laugh, she relaxed.

'That's right. Mom, Dad, and I are so anxious and afraid that we forgot about the most powerful man in the country standing in the same room with us. With him around, what problem can't be solved?

'What is there to be afraid of?'

Her fear came from a fear of the unknown. When Mother Xiao and Father Xiao heard Xiao Lingyu laughing, they didn't know what to say. Mother Xiao asked with a serious expression, "Xiao Lingyu, we are having a serious conversation. Why are you laughing all of a sudden? This is too impolite!"

Xiao Lingyu laughed harder. She waved her hand and said, "I'm sorry, mother. I just can't help but laugh when I think of something funny."

Mother Xiao and Father Xiao, "..."

Did this child go crazy from fright?

Gong Tianhao, "..."

What was so funny about this?

"Xiao Lingyu!" Mother Xiao shouted sternly again.

Xiao Lingyu finally became serious. Then, she told her parents, "Dad, Mom, listen to me. Gong Tianhao really has the ability to protect Little Light and us."

Mother Xiao and Father Xiao looked at each other.

Mother Xiao asked curiously, "Yu 'Er, what do you mean?"

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, "It's nothing. Dad, Mom, you only need to relax and continue your lives as normal. Just pay extra attention to strangers in the village."

The happiest person to hear this was not Father Xiao and Mother Xiao but Gong Tianhao.

What did this mean?

It meant that Xiao Lingyu was slowly trusting him. Things had to be done slowly.

If he had directly dealt with the tourism developer, there wouldn't be this process in the middle where Xiao Lingyu would appreciate having him around.

Mother Xiao and Father Xiao noticed how much Xiao Lingyu trusted Gong Tianhao. They didn't say anything. They knew that Gong Tianhao and his grandfather came from a powerful background, but how powerful? They had no idea.

However, since their daughter told them not to worry, their daughter knew the Gong Family better than they did. She wouldn't joke with their family's lives.

Mother Xiao told Gong Tianhao, "Tianhao, we'll be counting on you."

Gong Tianhao smiled and said, "Auntie, why are you still so polite to me? We're already a family. Of course, I'll have to protect my family."

In any case, Father Xiao and Mother Xiao didn't feel so worried anymore.

...

On the other side, after hearing the news broadcast, Xiao Chengcai's hands that held the hoe tightened. If it was not because of his dark skin, one could see the blue veins protruding on his arms. He was in a tense and nervous state.

How could he not be?

If the villagers knew that he was the one who leaked the news of the Little Cattle King, they would condemn him.

He was a little regretful now. Not because of leaking the news, but because he didn't ask for more money. He had sold the secret for 30,000. The person gave him an extra 10,000. That was only 40,000.

He should have sold it for 300,000 RMB.

With 300,000, he could immediately move his family and buy a house to live in the town.

With only 40,000, he could build a house at Taoyuan Village. But would he dare to do that? The money wasn't enough to buy a house in Xing An Town, much less Xing Yin County.

So he had to live in Taoyuan Village, trembling with fear every day.

However, regret was useless. Now, his hope was the men would return and quickly steal the Little Cattle King away. Then, Xiao Zhengyang's family wouldn't be able to grow delicious crops anymore. They wouldn't dare to look down on him again.

Since his family was not allowed to get the manure, then no one was allowed it. That was fair!

...

After Gong Tianhao returned from the Xiao family, Old Master Gong was having dinner. Old Master Gong had many questions when he saw his grandson. When they were alone, Old Master Gong asked, "Brat, what is this about the Little Cattle King being exposed?"

Gong Tianhao replied, "It's Xiao Chengcai."

"Xiao Chengcai?" Old Master Gong frowned and asked in confusion, "But what does this have to do with Xiao Chengcai?"

Gong Tianhao rolled his eyes and said, "Grandfather, you used to be so smart. Can't you figure it out?"

Old Master Gong, "..."

This brat was really getting better at mocking him.

Old Master Gong didn't argue with him. Instead, he narrowed his eyes, and a bright light shot out from his aged eyes. He said, "It was Xiao Chengcai who sold the news of the Little Cattle King, wasn't it?"

Gong Tianhao nodded and said, "Correct."

"And then?" Old Master Gong immediately asked, "And then how are you going to deal with it?"

Gong Tianhao replied, "We'll deal with it the way we normally do."

"..." If his heath hadn't improved, Old Master Gong believed he would be suffering from another heart attack. His grandson was playing riddles with him!

Old Master Gong said, "I say, isn't it easy for you to deal with this? What are you dawdling about now?"

"Of course, it is to win over my wife." Gong Tianhao looked at his grandfather. "If I resolve it silently and efficiently, Lingyu won't see my usefulness. In the future, she won't think to ask me for help.

"Grandfather, you know Xiao Lingyu. She's a little stubborn. Her heart is made of stone. So, I'm trying to move her heart bit by bit. I want her to slowly accept me and fall in love with me. Then, we will be a real family."

At this moment, Grandfather Gong pointed out, "So, Gong Tianhao, it sounds like you want to take your sweet time. How long will you take? Don't tell me you're still planning to take it slow even after my great-grandson is born?"

"..." Gong Tianhao said helplessly, "Grandfather, what do you suggest I do then?"

"Force yourself on her!" Old Master Gong said matter-of-factly.

Gong Tianhao knocked on the table and looked at Old Master Gong with a faint smile. He said slowly, "Force myself on her? Grandfather, have you forgotten that Xiao Lingyu is pregnant?"

Gong Tianhao ignored his grandpa's reaction and stood up. He said, "Grandpa, I'm sure you have something else to do. If you want to chat with someone, look for Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang."

Old Master Gong, "..."

He had really forgotten this point. Xiao Lingyu was already pregnant1

After Gong Tianhao left, Old Master Gong called Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang in.

He asked directly, "You two, what do you think the brat can do to win over Lingyu's heart after such a thing happened in Taoyuan Village?"

Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang looked at each other, and then they shook their heads in ignorance.

Old Master Gong was furious when he saw this.

He said unhappily, "Why don't you know anything?"

Xiao Wang said aggrievedly, "Old Master, you can't blame us for this. First of all, we've never been in a relationship and have never pursued a girl. Second, we're not as crafty and cunning as the eldest young master."

Old Master Gong, "..."

They were all there to anger him.
