The village accountant burst into laughter: "Village chief, don't joke around. If you want to buy such a license plate, you'd have to think of at least a million. And people who can use such license plates don't lack money. Did you see that car? It feels way more luxurious than an Audi R8. I estimate it's worth more than five million."

"With such an awesome license plate, they must be a leader!" The village women's director's eyes widened.

The security team leader sneered at this: "If you don't know, don't speak out of turn. Leaders prefer to be low-key; who hangs such a flashy plate? Looking at this plate, it's a hint of a wealthy super-rich, a merchant, not necessarily a leader, but someone who probably can speak to one."

Everyone's eyes immediately sparkled.

Hearing this, Xiu Ju glanced at the luxury cars inside and outside the Shen family's courtyard, calculated in her heart that going to the Shen family now wouldn't bring any benefits, and unhappily said, "You guys go ahead, Zhuzi, Xiaomei, let's go home."

Just as she finished, Shen Qiang's mom came out to close the door and saw the village chief, smiled and said, "Oh, village chief, have you eaten?"

"I have," the village chief immediately straightened his back and laughed: "I just heard Shen Qiang is back and wanted to drop by your house."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang's mom smiled and said: "That's great, welcome, welcome." As she spoke, Shen Qiang's mom turned back and called: "Qiangzi, Qiangzi! The village chief is here! Come out and greet him!"

"Okay, sure! Coming!"

Hearing Shen Qiang's voice, Xiu Ju turned to leave.

At this time, Shen Qiang's mom saw her and, remembering the sweet fairy-like face of Bai Jiao, and her sarcastic remarks from earlier today, couldn't help but speak out in irritation.

"Aunt Xiu Ju, what did you say earlier today? You wanted to introduce a girlfriend for my son Shen Qiang, you said even if she's a single mom or disabled, it didn't matter. Haha, now that Shen Qiang's girlfriend has arrived, aren't you going to help check her out?"

Hearing Shen Qiang's mom speak so proudly, Aunt Xiu Ju wasn't happy, her face sank, and she sneered: "Oh, my dear, I initially didn't want to go to your house because I was afraid you'd overthink. After all, it's not uncommon these days to hire someone to pretend to be a girlfriend to fool parents."

"But since you mentioned it, I won't be polite; I'll help you scrutinize so that you don't get fooled by Shen Qiang's fake girlfriend without realizing it."

Shen Qiang's mom felt anger rising.

Just then, Shen Qiang came out.

Given Shen Qiang's temper, let alone with the village chief, even when district and city leaders sought help from Heshenghe Group in the Provincial City, Shen Qiang wouldn't show up, always sending Bianyi to handle it. But considering it was the village chief from his hometown, where his parents still lived, he knew he should be polite.

After all, people might not be close, but the land is.

He hadn't been home in a year; now that the village chief was here, he had to be courteous.

But when he heard what Aunt Xiu Ju said, Shen Qiang just chuckled.

In the village, mentioning Xiu Ju meant dealing with someone who's undeniably skilled at stirring up trouble and being unreasonable. When Shen Qiang was a kid, if Aunt Xiu Ju ever gave his parents a hard time, he'd kick Zhuzi into the river or trick Zhuzi into playing a game, when he couldn't pass it, Shen Qiang would help him through from start to finish while Zhuzi watched.

Despite Aunt Xiu Ju's antics, acting unreasonable, always wanting the upper hand, and yelling on the streets, she never really laid hands on the kids.

As long as she gets a bargain, she's happy.

If not, she feels she's at a loss.

That's just how she is.

So, Shen Qiang didn't have much hatred toward her, especially now that he has plenty of money, is the King of Demons in the Cultivation World, and the Chairman of Heshenghe in the business world. His status, level, and insight were on a completely different dimension compared to hers, so even hearing that she was just stirring trouble, Shen Qiang didn't want to fuss with her.

As a successful person, Shen Qiang has that level of tolerance, so when he stepped out, he smiled and said, "That's great, with Aunt Xiu Ju overseeing, I won't suffer a loss. Please, come in."

Hearing this, the village chief, women's director, security team leader, and village accountant all chuckled.

Aunt Xiu Ju, thinking Shen Qiang didn't catch her provocation, looked smug and replied with hidden sarcasm: "Oh, Qiangzi, with your words, I'll say what I need to. If I speak too deeply or lightly, don't take it to heart."

Shen Qiang laughed: "No worries, speak freely. If nothing else, you and Zhuzi grew up with me beating him up, like brothers."

Hearing this, Zhuzi's girlfriend looked at Zhuzi in surprise, her brow furrowed, lost in thought.

Aunt Xiu Ju heard Shen Qiang and almost snorted in anger, fake-smiled, "Yes, you're several years older than Zhuzi, right? The king of kids, you're great at bullying."

"I remember, my Shen Qiang is a month and three days older than your Zhuzi." Shen Qiang's mom smiled as she corrected: "On the third day after Qiangzi's full month, I went back to my mother's home, your Zhuzi was born that day, and when my Qiangzi was in the fourth grade, your Zhuzi was still a first-grade class monitor."

Hearing this, Aunt Xiu Ju stopped laughing, her face turned dark as the bottom of a pot.

The village chief quickly laughed to smooth things over, saying, "Let's go, go, after you built your house, you didn't invite us over, haven't even seen your place."

Shen Qiang chuckled, saying nothing.

But he understood.

If they truly wanted to help, the village is so small, they could be there in no time. These words were just lip service, just for show, and if you took them seriously, you'd be foolish.

The group entered the house, which was bustling.

The room on the east side of the first floor was large.

Shen Qiang's parents, being from the North, had the old habit that a house needed a kang.

Against the north wall was a large kang.

Because they built it large enough, the south side served as a living room with sofas, teacups, and a TV, which, compared to the main door living room, was warmer and more comfortable. At the moment, all the women gathered around the kang, enjoying its warmth.

When the village chief and the others entered, they were dumbfounded.

Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, Jing Xiangwei, Bai Jiao, Xu Nan, Ali, Ye Xiaolei, Su Xiaonuan, Miao Xiaoxia, Ju Yang, Ye Guyun, Xin Xiaoting, Xiu Ju, Lv Shuyao, Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, over a dozen beautiful women, each as gorgeous as a fairy, and even those considered less beautiful like Xiu Ju, Ali, and Lv Shuyao, were at least the kind who would make heads turn on county town streets.

Not to mention the truly stunning ones like Chu Qing, Ye Xiaolei, Miao Xiaoxia, Bai Jiao, Xu Nan, Ye Guyun, and Ke Bizhu, whose mere presence could bring down entire nations.

Not only were the village officials stunned.

Aunt Xiu Ju and Zhuzi's girlfriend were also dumbfounded.

"Tsk tsk, these girls are really pretty, with skin that's so fair like freshly peeled boiled eggs. Their figures, aura, clothes—each one looks like a big star," Aunt Xiu Ju thought in shock.

Zhuzi's girlfriend was wide-eyed and panicked.

"They're too beautiful; those clothes and shoes must cost hundreds each. They all look like princesses. If I'd known, I would've changed clothes, so embarrassing."

At this moment, Shen Qiang's dad was delightedly and warmly inviting everyone to the sofa: "Come, come, have a seat."

A completely stunned Zhuzi, his eyes not knowing where to look among the women, started walking over.

Bam!

Not watching his step, he banged his head right into the cabinet near the wall.
