CHAPTER 568: AFTER MODIFICATION: CHAPTER 368 SAFETY HAZARDS

Seeing her mother so anxious, Zhang Dadan could no longer be mysterious and explained, "I agreed to let their family make the sauce on one condition: Liu Hong must leave Anping Village!"

Let Liu Hong leave Anping Village? Wang Cuifen was a bit surprised and inevitably fell into deep thought. Liu Hong’s parents were both upright people and wouldn’t do anything bad, of course.

As long as Liu Hong was driven away, their homemade sauce would surely be no problem, eliminating potential safety hazards.

More importantly, driving Liu Hong away would ensure the villagers wouldn’t dare play ghost games again, given the lesson from his previous vehicle incident.

"Son, is this your idea of killing two birds with one stone?" Wang Cuifen smiled with understanding.

Zhang Dadan listened to her words but humbly smiled as he returned to his room. He needed to contact the pioneer in medicine and food, Hu Linsheng.

But when he returned to his room, he heard his father’s cries and had to put on his clothes and step out.

Zhang Yousheng suddenly returned home, also due to the earlier incident where Liu Hong and her mother came to apologize, which had quickly spread throughout Anping Village.

"Dadan, I heard you accepted Liu Hong’s apology." Zhang Yousheng asked with a discontented look.

Seeing his father mention the matter, Zhang Dadan also had some opinions. He detailed his reasons.

"Yes... not bad..." Knowing his son’s real intentions, Zhang Yousheng repeatedly expressed his approval.

However, those who didn’t know the truth in the village were debating about it. They couldn’t imagine Zhang Dadan letting Liu Hong off so easily.

What surprised them even more was that Mr. Liu went to Liu Hong’s house that evening and invited them to make soy sauce together.

Such a sudden scene shocked the villagers even more, as they couldn’t understand the intricacies involved.

When everyone thought Zhang Dadan was being kind, soft, and had a Bodhisattva’s compassion, Liu Hong suddenly left Anping Village.

Under normal circumstances, Liu Hong leaving would just mean leaving, but she had to apologize to Zhang Dadan before departing, which was quite interesting.

In the village, many who had deep feelings and grievances towards Zhang Dan sensed a dangerous sign.

Liu Hong did not leave earlier or later, but at this time. She was obviously threatened by Zhang Dadan and forced to leave.

Those who realized this were all amazed by Zhang Dadan’s iron-fisted approach and sincerely admired his boldness, not daring to have any further delusions.

Niu Fengfeng, who had always cherished Liu Hong, sensed the same danger and felt a mix of panic and fear.

In order to calm his own anxiety and divert Dadan’s attention, Niu Fengfeng had to find an enemy.

On a dark, windy night, Niu Fengfeng snuck to the door of the village chief, Niu Fusheng, and called out, "Grandpa... is Uncle home?"

Watching the evening news, Niu Fusheng heard someone catching his shoes at his door and hurried to open it.

Since Zhang Dadan’s rise, few people in the village had come to him, even those of the same race deliberately distanced themselves.

"Coming... coming... who is it this late?" Niu Fusheng asked impatiently, pretending to be calm.

But when he opened the door, he couldn’t hide his disappointment seeing it was Niu Fengfeng.

"What are you doing here tonight? Still want to mess things up with Dagen? Let me tell you, we’re honest now, we won’t go..."

Hearing the village chief’s words, Niu Fengfeng stood stunned in place for a long time, unable to understand why the chief had submitted to Zhang Dadan.

Zhang’s swift rise made the villagers both envious and resentful, but it didn’t harm their interests.

But it was different for the village chief. He held absolute authority in Anping Village.

Behind Zhang’s bold generosity, there was definitely a threat to the chief’s position. Could they really get along?

"Grandpa, what do you mean? Don’t you have any plans to deal with Zhang Dadan?" Niu Fengfeng tried in a cautious tone.

Niu Fusheng glanced at him and smiled helplessly, "Handle Zhang Dadan? If Zhang Dadan doesn’t handle me, I’d be satisfied."

His lonely and desolate appearance stunned Niu Fengfeng even more. How could the once arrogant village chief, who used to scold Fang Tuo, suddenly become so disheartened?

He clearly remembered when Zhang Dadan first started a chicken farm, the village chief designated them to damage it on the mountain.

"Grandpa, don’t tell me you’ve been bitten by a wolf, so you..." Niu Fengfeng speculated.

Before he finished speaking, Niu Fusheng suddenly thundered, calling out his name.

"Niu Fengfeng! Be smart when you see things. Sometimes knowing what’s good or bad can save you. Understand?"

Niu Fengfeng now had no one to rely on. Alone, he dared not offend him anymore.

"Uncle... Chief... I was wrong... Alright? I’m sorry." Niu Fengfeng hurriedly appeased him.

Just then, they saw Niu Dagen limping down the stairs, intervening to diffuse the situation, "Dad, what’s got you so angry?"

"You? Niu Fengfeng heard the voice, looking incredulous, and his eyes widened at Niu Dagen.

In his impression, Niu Dagen was a total scoundrel who would even curse his own father. How could he suddenly be so gentle, even addressing him so politely?

Shocked, Niu Fengfeng asked, "Brother... are you okay?"

Hearing this, Niu Dagen sneered at Niu Fengfeng, and then limped to his father’s side to sit down.

"Little Peak! What did you say to my dad? Look at him!" Niu Dagen intervened, seeking to mediate.

This filial piety made Niu Fengfeng wonder if he had entered the wrong house in the dark.

"Brother, I didn’t say anything!" Niu Fengfeng tried to explain.

Calmed down, Niu Fusheng patted his son’s hand and said with pained eyes, "Dagen, how did you come down? Go rest! I’ll talk to Little Feng."

Before Niu Dagen could respond, Niu Fengfeng urgently said, "Brother, Zhang Dadan drove Liu Hong away. Did you know that?"

Niu Dagen clearly understood and then asked, "So what? What do we do about it?"

"Does it affect us at all? Why do you and Dad look like you’re joining a monastery?"

Thinking back to how they had initially bullied Zhang Dadan most shamefully, he couldn’t believe they had turned a new leaf.

"Brother, Zhang Dadan drove Liu Hong away, which means he’s seeking revenge. We offended him!" Niu Fengfeng urgently explained.

Niu Fusheng sighed helplessly and advised, "Little Feng, circumstances are stronger than men. What can we still do? Be honest!"

Before Niu Fengfeng could respond, Niu Dagen also spoke up, saying, "Little Feng! As long as we don’t provoke him anymore, it’ll be the end."

Niu Fengfeng saw the father and son had no fighting spirit, choosing to submit, but he didn’t know what to do next.

Now, the entire Anping Village was under Zhang’s control; everyone expected Zhang to bring them wealth.

If the village chief didn’t dare to oppose Zhang Dadan, this vast Anping Village would become his personal kingdom.

"Grandpa, are you really just going to let Zhang Dadan trample on our Liu Family like this?" Niu Fengfeng questioned.

But Niu Fusheng had completely lost confidence in confronting Zhang Dadan and wouldn’t be swayed by such words.

"Niu Fengfeng, if you still have sense, you should see the situation clearly. Zhang Dadan now has the support of the mushroom sauce factory and has completely won the hearts of the people. Fighting him now would be fruitless!" Niu Fusheng seriously advised.
