“If the matter of the Little Cattle King has been exposed, then the person
doesn’t only want the Little Cattle King, but also the entire Taoyuan Village,”
Xiao Lingyu continued.
The village chief asked with some confusion, “Lingyu, what do you mean by
this”
Xiao Lingyu said, “It means we’ll be forced to move, and our land will be taken
away in the name of tourism development.”
If Taoyuan Village didn’t have the Little Cattle King, this would be a good thing
for the villagers because they would be compensated. In fact, this had already
happened to a few other villages. The villagers were mostly very happy. The
younger generations who had no connection to the land hoped that the
government would take their land so that they could get compensation.
However, the situation at Taoyuan Village was different. The Little Cattle
King’s manure could make the crops grow faster and taste more delicious.
Their land was definitely worth more than the compensation. Every clever
villager knew the inherent value.
Although the Little Cattle King belonged to the Xiao Family, the whole village
could feel the benefits.
When the village chief heard this, his eyes widened again. He found it
unbelievable.
Xiao Lingyu continued, “if they really know the secret of the Little Cattle King,
then they will definitely think of ways to possess him.”
The village chief face turned pale. He stuttered in disbelief, “Lingyu, how…
How is this possible?”
Xiao Lingyu said, “Village chief, I can guarantee that this is very possible.”
The village chief was shocked for a long time. When he finally recovered, he
asked, “Lingyu, what should we do now?”
Xiao Lingyu said, “village chief, inform everyone that the matter of the Little
Cattle King has been exposed to outsiders. So, tell everyone to pay attention to
the outsiders.”
“Is there anything else? The village chief asked.
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “village chief, let’s tell the villagers this
news first.
“Since the government hasn’t said anything about tourism development, we
shan’t reveal it lest it causes a stir in people’s hearts.
“Now, we need to wait for news from the people who want to develop this place
into a tourist site. What is their plan for the villagers? And then, we’ll decide
what to do.”
If moving was involved, the villagers might be able to receive a huge amount of
compensation. At that time, the villagers would definitely be very divided.
The village chief nodded. Then, he asked, “Then, should we tell everyone that it
was Xiao Chengcai who be sold out the secrets of the Little Cattle King?
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “Village chief, we don’t have a
evidence, so we can’t say anything yet.
“However, once you tell the villagers about the secret being exposed, the clever
people will immediately connect it to the truckload of cash that Xíao Xiaobao
had dug out from his house. The suspicion will occur naturally.”
The village chief nodded and said, “What you said makes sense. Okay, Il do it
now.”
But just as the village chief was about to leave, Xiao Lingyu reminded him
again, “Village chief, the most important thing now is to get everyone to pay
attention to the movements of the outsiders. Also, please get people to block
the mountain roads that lead outside. of course, Tl pay all the materials and
wages.”
The village chief nodded and said, “Okay, I understand. I will handle this”
After saying that, the village chief turned around and left.
The village chief was very efficient. After leaving Xiao Lingyu’s house, he
quickly announced this news through the broadcast system. Everyone heard
the news.
The entire village was shocked!
“Oh my God, what’s going on? How did the matter of the Cattle King get
exposed
“Yeah, what’s going on? Didn’t the village chief tell everyone not to tell
outsiders about this? We’re the ones being at a disadvantage if the Little Cattle
King is found out.”
Although the Little Cattle King belonged to Xiao Lingyu personally, the
majority of the villagers in Taoyuan Village had benefited from it.
“Yeah, what exactly is going on? How did it even get exposed.”
For now, no one thought about Xiao Chengcai.
“No matter how it got exposed, the village chief told everyone to pay attention
to the people coming from the outside.”
“Of course!”
After the village chief announced this news, he immediately called a few young
people to seal off the mountain roads leading to the outside village. It was too
dangerous to leave these paths open.
As soon as these young people heard the order, they began to get busy. They
cut trees, transported stone, and looked for cement. They went to town to buy
materials. The paved road made transportation easier.
When Mother Xiao and Father Xiao heard the news, they ran home.
They asked directly, “Yu Er, what’s going on? Our guesses were right?”
Xiao Lingyu would only let the village chief announce this news after she had
evidence. Mother Xiao and Father Xiao became very nervous again.
Gong Tianhao took a look and immediately narrowed his eyes. This confirmed
one of his guesses. The Little Cattle King must have some sort of relationship
with Xiao Lingyu. If the Little Cattle King was captured, it would definitely
implicate Xiao Lingyu.
However, this secret had to be huge because Mother Xiao, Father Xiao, and
Xiao Lingyu had not told him anything. Regardless, he would not force it out of
them. He would wait for them to take the initiative to tell him.
His immediate task was to protect Xiao Lingyu’s safety and the safety of
everyone in the Xiao family.
Xiao Lingyu consoled her parents. “Mom and Dad, our guess is probably
correct. But this means that we have more time to prepare. Don’t worry.
Nothing bad will happen.”
At this moment, Gong Tianhao stood up and said, “Uncle and Auntie, I will
protect everyone.”
After hearing that, Father Xiao and Mother Xiao finally calmed down.
“Yes, you’re right. “Mother Xiao nodded. Then, she thought for a while and
said, “Yu ‘Er, why don’t we hide Little Light so that no one can find him.”
“Hmm? Xiao Lingyu’s eyes flashed.
“That’s right. Since she could bring her parents into the farming space, she
could bring Little Light and Big Light into there too. However, Little Light had
already been exposed. She couldn’t just make it disappear for no reason.
Xiao Lingyu was deep in thought.
Gong Tianhao had been paying attention to Xiao Lingyu’s actions.
He noticed that Xiao Lingyu’s eyes lit up when Mother Xiao suggested hiding
Little Light. But how could they hide something so big? Was there a secret
behind this?
“No! Father Xiao said adamantly.
“Dear” Mother Xiao looked at him in confusion.
Father Xiao said, “since the secret has been exposed, those people will keep
their eyes on Little Light. If Little Light suddenly disappears, they will turn
their suspicion to us.
These people are not dumb. Why does Little Light disappear just around the
time they want to develop Taoyuan village? Plus, they have insider news from
Xiao Chengcai. So, the news of Little Light’s disappearance would get to them
immediately. We would be suspected and be in even more danger.”
Gong Tianhao concurred, “Uncle is right.”
Mother Xiao furrowed her brows and asked worriedly, “Then what should we
do?
Xiao Lingyu sighed and said, “Let’s wait and see. Maybe a solution will present
itself.”
Gong Tianhao sighed in his heart. “The solution is standing right here. She
knows my family.. Why doesn’t she rely on me? Or does she feel I can’t protect
her family?
