Chapter 1590
Chris said politely, "Grandma, come to our house and eat. Mommy made tomato and egg noodles. It's yummy! The tomatoes are fresh, and the eggs, well..." He felt rather embarrassed. "Chloe and I got it from the chicken nest at your place."
Seeing how adorable Chris was, the smile on the village head's face widened. She ruffled his head. "Okay, feel free to take as many eggs as you like." "Yay!" Chris supported the village head by the side. "Grandma, let’s go home and eat!" "Alright, let's go.”
Charmine went to her side and helped to support her, too.
When the three of them turned around, they heard the women’s sneers behind their backs.
"She can’t even manage her own things and went on to boss about others "Sigh! She thinks she's a kind person! When you're kind to the wrong people, they won’t thank you!" "I know. The older she gets, the sillier she becomes! This newcomer is so fake, but she still treats her so well!” "The newcomer and her son came here to eat and take advantage of her! She must’ve been boycotted by the city people and came hiding in our village!"
The village head reached out to hold Charmine's arm. She gently patted her and gave her a reassuring smile.
Charmine returned the smile and did not seem to mind the jeers.
Helping the village head back home and recalling how everyone hurled accusations at her, Charmine could not fight the question in her mind, asking, "Grandma, what happened earlier?”
Mentioning this, the village head had a worried look on her peaceful face. " Someone came here, wanting to develop this land into a tourist area. I didn't agree. We've lived here all our lives, and all of our generations were here. How can we forget our roots? They wanted to sell it, but I stopped them."
She had a peaceful smile. "I don't mind what they say about me, just as long as I keep this place. However, the young men said they’ll be coming back. I'm worried that even though we kept it this time, we might not be able to do so in the next few times. After all, they came with cash. The villagers hadn't seen so much money in their lives, and they might be persuaded." 1
Charmine pursed her lips. A thought occurred to her as she said to the village head, "Grandma, I have an idea. Don't worry too much-just relax."
The village head looked at Charmine gently and held her hand. She nodded. "Okay." 1
She knew Charmine was just saying that to make her feel better, but it was better than those who criticized her.
