Chapter 397 - 389 The Best Gift 3



It would be easy for the villagers to win as long as they got the hang of the games.

For fairness’ sake, everyone only had one chance to play every round. If they didn’t win anything, they could go to the back of the line until all prizes were given away.

Zhao Chuchu didn’t participate because she would win everything if she did.

The entire event would be pointless if that happened.

The fair began a couple of hours before the sun started to set.

The sun-drying field was filled with people. Almost everyone in Lengshui village had gathered.

Even if people didn’t win the game, they would still cheer loudly. The place had a lively atmosphere.

Enjoying such an event and atmosphere, Zhao Chuchu was happy too.

Old Mrs. Chen was extremely lucky in the ring toss game. She managed to win a chicken and had a smile on her face for the rest of the event.

“Chuchu, why don’t you go and try? Look! I won a hen!”

“I’m fine. If I play, you guys won’t be able to win anything. You’re pretty good yourself, Grandma Chen. You actually won a chicken for yourself!”

“Hahaha! I was hoping to win the ten eggs at first, but who knew I would get the hen? You can still try. You can’t line up again if you win something.”

Zhao Chuc.hu still refused to participate.

There were a lot of other games as well, as there were too many gifts. If there were only one or two games, it would take the entire evening and night before the gifts were all given away.

Old Mrs. Chen was still excited about winning the ring toss game. Seeing that Zhao Chuchu would not participate, she decided to try her luck with the other games.

Xie Heng then approached Zhao Chuchu and stood next to her. “This must be the liveliest New Year Lengshui Village has ever seen. In the past, families would just celebrate on their own. It’s such a rare sight to see everyone gathered in one place.”

“People need to work together. The truth is that everyone is kind, but their poverty forces them to live like this. That is why they can’t waste their time worrying about other people. If their poverty is solved, a lot of things will change.”

‘Yet, that is the hardest thing to achieve.”

“It’s not that difficult. There are always more solutions than problems. Look at them. Their lives are getting better, are they not?”

“It’s easy when we only focus on a group of people. It’s different when the scale gets bigger.”

“Then, we take one step at a time. Let’s not hurry and mess things up.”

Xie Heng smiled as he tried to understand her words.

The New Year passed by in a festive mood.

Everyone was satisfied with the event.

Almost all the prizes were given away at the end.

Niu Tongsheng noticed that Zhao Chuchu and her family did not participate and decided to give the Xie clan the remaining prizes that weren’t worth much money.

Zhao Chuc.hu did not reject the gifts this time.

“Chuchu, this is the best New Year ever. It’s all thanks to you.”

“Well, you can host another fair next year too. The right prizes can gather and unite the villagers. It’ll also make people trust you more as their chief.” “Good idea! We’ll do this again next year!” Niu Tongsheng laughed.

Even he could tell that the villagers’ attitude toward him had significantly changed. In the past, people feared him. However, now they respected him and trusted him. The difference was so drastic that when he asked the villagers to help him, they would do the tasks as quickly as possible.

Watching the village become better than before was delightful for the village chief.

The changes happened when he was still the chief. He had already garnered enough success that he won’t embarrass himself when he reunited with his deceased family in the afterlife.

The second day of the New Year was when married women returned home to visit their parents.

Zhao Chuchu had returned home early with Hu Yiming.

As soon as she settled down, she quickly brought gifts to the Xie clan with her husband.

“Chuchu, Xie Heng, thank you for everything.” Zhao Meilan took the gifts from Hu Yiming and put them on the table. She had tied her hair into a bun that signified that she was a married woman and looked better and healthier than before.

It wasn’t hard to tell that Hu Yiming had been treating her well even after their marriage.

“How’s everything at the Hu clan?” Zhao Chuchu asked with a smile.

“They treat me very well, and so does my husband. It’s as if I’m still staying at my own home. I’m free and happy.”

“That’s good to hear.” Zhao Chuchu could tell that Zhao Meilan was not lying. Hu Yiming was standing obediently next to his wife, and it was clear that he loved her a lot. “Meilan, do you remember I wanted to give you a wedding gift? But, unfortunately, I was too busy back then, so I couldn’t give it to you in time.”

“You’ve already given me a lot. If you give me another gift, I’ll feel very awkward.”

Zhao Chuchu grinned and asked Zhao Meilan to follow her.

She had planned to surprise Zhao Meilan back then, but fate had another plan for her, so she never got the chance until now.

Zhao Meilan had no idea what was going on. So she asked Hu Yiming to wait for her while she followed Zhao Chuchu to the study room.

“Meilan, do you want your husband to recover?” Zhao Chuchu asked in a serious tone.

Zhao Meilan was stunned at first. “What did you say?

“What I’m saying is that I can treat your husband. I can turn him back into a normal person instead of him having the mind of a child. Therefore, he can continue to study and take part in the Imperial Examination…”

“Are you sure? Can you really treat him?” Zhao Meilan didn’t even wait for Zhao Chuchu to finish and quickly asked.

Zhao Chuchu looked at Zhao Meilan. “But, have you ever thought of this? If he recovers, the Hu clan might ask for a divorce.”
