If anyone else had said this, Village Chief Li Quan would have absolutely no idea, but Chen Liang was different.

Chen Liang came from Kyoto. He was both learned and skilled in martial arts, with exceptional knowledge and experience. He was no ordinary person. If he said that, then it must be true.

This caused village chief Li Quan's heart to race.

My heart is pounding!

Although he is almost seventy, he has a young heart. Cuihua is so fragrant, why can't he enjoy the sweetness of love when he is about to be buried?

His complexion changed from a liver-red color to a flushed red.

Even those cloudy eyes were gleaming.

pity……

In the end, reason prevailed over emotion, and he shook his head, saying, "Forget it, forget it, forget it. I still feel there's danger."

"What danger could there be?" Chen Liang said, "As long as you and Liu Cuihua are truly in love, there is no danger."

"Besides..."

"Village Chief, don't you want to know what it means to...?"

"Is white hair suitable for wearing red makeup?"

"But..." Village Chief Li Quan still said, "But, it still won't work!"

"All right!"

Surprisingly, Chen Liang immediately nodded and said, "Since you are worried about dying and want to disappoint Cuihua's good intentions, then let's call off this marriage."

"I'll go tell Liu Cuihua right now that you don't care about her, Village Chief, and that she shouldn't wait for you anymore. She should find someone to marry."

"I'm over twenty, not young anymore. If I don't get married now, it'll be harder to find a husband later!"

Chen Liang was about to leave when the village chief, Liu Quan, grabbed him and exclaimed excitedly, "Young Master Chen Liang, what did you just say?"

"Cuihua, are you waiting for me?"

Chen Liang nodded and said, "What else?"

"You sing outside people's windows every day, even the village dogs are terrified, how could they not know?"

"I've known how you feel for a long time, and I've been waiting for you, but you haven't come."

"I was thinking of helping you two arrange this marriage. Then you'll be a harmonious and loving couple, and I'll also have done a good deed for the village chief. It's nothing..."

"If you're not happy, then we'll just have to give up."

"Let Cuihua marry someone else."

These words were a strong blow to village chief Liu Quan.

The thought that Cuihua had feelings for him made his brain so excited that he felt oxygen-deprived, his face turned pale, and his body swayed unsteadily. Without the help of a cane, he couldn't stand up at all.

but……

It is powerful and surging.

He suddenly waved his hand and exclaimed, "Fine, Cuihua, I'll marry her!"

Chen Liang affirmed at the right moment: "That's right, that's more like it. True love conquers all. You and Cuihua are truly in love, and no obstacle can stop you."

"That……"

"Village Chief, shall I go and act as your matchmaker?"

Village chief Liu Quan waved his hand dismissively: "Go, go right now!"

"You'd better prepare a generous betrothal gift."

"Don't worry!" Village Chief Liu Quan said, "For Cuihua's sake, I must give her a very generous dowry."

"Alright!" Chen Liang nodded in satisfaction, turned and left the village chief's residence, heading towards the village entrance.

Xipo Village is not large. He hadn't walked far when he saw Liu Cuihua's house. Compared to the village chief's house, which was practically lavish with carved beams and painted rafters, Liu Cuihua's house looked quite shabby.

The low, mottled, and cracked mud-brick walls, the withered yellow thatch roof, the old and crooked wooden door, and the pile of firewood in the corner of the yard all looked dilapidated.

Chen Liang knocked on the door, and after hearing a shout from inside, he strode in and was greeted by a woman.

The woman appeared to be about twenty years old, with bright, clear eyes and fair skin. She was quite beautiful, and even in the city, her natural beauty was comparable to that of other young ladies.

However, his clothes were really shabby, with patches all over them, the fabric thin and old, and the cuffs of his trousers worn out.

But to be fair, her beauty is undeniable.

It can be said that a phoenix has landed in a mountain valley.

And this woman was the village beauty of their Xipo Village.

Liu Cuihua!

"Young Master Chen Liang, oh, it's you?"

"I heard from them that you were back, and I was just thinking of going to see you, but I didn't expect you to come to my house first."

"Sit down, sit down."

"Let me pour you some tea!"

Liu Cuihua immediately got busy, but with just a slight movement, she somehow tripped and fell to the ground, her clothes accidentally tearing open and revealing her fair shoulders.

"Oh dear, Young Master Chen Liang, help me up."

"No, I can't," Chen Liang chuckled inwardly, but said, "My hand was injured when I came back, so I can't help you."

"Ah?" Liu Cuihua was disappointed. She stood up, poured Chen Liang some barley tea, and asked, "Young Master Chen Liang, did you see many interesting things while you were away from our village?"

"I really want to hear it."

"Young Master Chen Liang, would you be willing to tell me about it?"

Chen Liang immediately sighed and said, "Don't say anymore. I thought I was a dragon, but after I went out, I found out that I was just a worm. I was looked down on by people every day. I had no choice but to come back to our Xipo Village."

"From now on, I will stay in our Xipo Village."

He died in Xipo Village.

"Become a farmer and support yourself by farming."

"Huh?" Liu Cuihua was taken aback for a moment, then her expression changed slightly, becoming more distant and unfamiliar. She also pulled her clothes up to cover her exposed shoulders and said, "Young Master Chen Liang, farming is hard work."

"Yes!" Chen Liang said, "But what could I do? Fortunately, the village chief took me in, and now I follow him!"

"Huh?" Liu Cuihua asked in surprise, "You're following the village chief now?"

"Yes, that's right," Chen Liang said with a smile. "Moreover, I've just been sent by the village chief to talk to you about something."

"By the way, where are your parents?"

"He went to the fields," Liu Cuihua replied, then immediately asked impatiently, "What's up?"

"What does the village chief want with me?"

Liu Cuihua asked urgently, but Chen Liang became even more unhurried. He leisurely took a sip of tea before slowly saying, "The village elder said he wants to marry you, but I don't know..."

"I! Will! Do!"

Before Chen Liang could finish speaking, Liu Cuihua answered decisively, her tone filled with strong desire.

Chen Liang nodded, sure enough...

Things went exactly as he had predicted!
