Chapter 101: Daughter in the Mountain Village

Seeing this scene, Xu Shan was both embarrassed and angry, but he couldn’t flare up. Hence, he decided to vent his anger on Fatty.

Fatty was stunned. He instantly felt extremely awkward.

“Fatty! What nonsense are you spouting again?”

“No, I’m not…”

“You’re even trying to deny! Stop spouting nonsense. Are you itching for a beating?” Xu Shan said as he winked at Fatty.

Fatty immediately understood and quickly backed down.

“No, no, no. I was wrong, I was wrong. Oh right, I remembered that I had an appointment with Hei Wa. I… I’ll get going first!” After saying that, Fatty ran out. He kept reflecting and wondered why he had to get involved in this mess.

After Fatty left, Xu Shan turned to look at Xie Chaochao and pretended to be calm as he said, “Little girl, don’t listen to his nonsense. I’m not that petty! I’m also here to apologize to you. My attitude wasn’t too good just now. My words were too harsh. I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine, I didn’t take it to heart. But don’t let it happen again.”

“Alright, alright, alright. Then, are we considered to have reconciled?” Xu Shan hurriedly went forward and asked.

“I just said that we didn’t quarrel, right?” Xie Chaochao replied.

To be honest, he was very afraid that Xie Chaochao would make a choice. He might as well stop here. Otherwise, if Xie Chaochao really felt that he was not as important as Gu Pei, he would really lose face. He might as well maintain this relationship for now. Anyway, there was still a lot of time. He could talk about it when he had the chance in the future.

Fatty’s words also put Xie Chaochao in a dilemma. Between Brother Gu Pei and Xu Shan, who was more important to her? She couldn’t decide in that moment.

However, for some reason, she couldn’t help but think about this problem from time to time. The days passed by quickly and a few years passed in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.

The previous rescue operation had touched the workers and the people around them even more. Everyone’s enthusiasm for work rose to an unprecedented level. Under Xie Zhou’s lead, the performance of the mine could be said to be rising steadily. Especially after the incident, many people in the village admired Xie Zhou’s character. They felt that Xie Zhou was someone they could befriend. They contacted many of their family members who had gone out to work and to school, and all joined Xie Zhou’s business. The village also grew larger.

In addition, the government’s poverty relief funds were already in place. Xie Zhou seized the opportunity to quickly upgrade all the equipment and tools in the mine.

After that mining disaster, Xie Zhou knew that the coal mine would be mined out one day. Before that, he had to make sure that the village had the technology to support it. He had to make sure that the village could not only mine coal, but also process the coal mine directly. This way, even if the coal mine was mined out in the future, the village could become a coal refinery center.

It could only be said that Xie Zhou’s idea was indeed far-sighted. With the implementation of the village channel, other than Shanbai Village, several surrounding coal mines began to cooperate with Xie Zhou. Xie Zhou’s mine quickly made a lot of money.

With the money, the villagers’ lives became more comfortable every day. Many of the brick houses that they used to live in slowly became small villas.

It was even more so for Xie Zhou’s house. The originally dilapidated courtyard had now become a proper courtyard. The house had a few entrances and exits. It was very imposing. When the villagers saw Xie Zhou, they would instinctively call him “Boss Xie”. However, Xie Zhou himself felt that this nickname was strange.

Moreover, compared to those superficial titles, Xie Zhou was more willing to spend this money on his daughter. Chaochao had already grown into a slender and elegant woman. The young girl’s refreshing hair, delicate face, clear eyes, and the fresh and natural aura that she gave off made her look like a beautiful painting.

Coupled with the beautiful clothes, Xie Chaochao looked especially eye-catching in the classroom. Now that she had become a famous person in the village, she could be said to be the publicly acknowledged daughter of a wealthy family.
