Chapter 117: How did this kid become a sheriff?

The fat man swallowed the rest of his sentence, stared dumbfounded at Chen Yongren, and the remaining two men's expressions were equally wonderful.

Sheriff?

How did this kid suddenly become a sheriff?

"How many times do I have to say it, deputy sheriff?" Chen Yongren said solemnly, pointing at the three on the ground: "Take them back to the station."

"Understood." Zhang Haifeng nodded and called his men to drag the three away.

The surrounding people then realized one by one.

"No wonder he looks familiar; he was in the newspaper before!"

"My dear mother!"

"What are you still looking at the excitement for? Hurry up and leave, lest you get burned."

……

The originally crowded crowd, fearing trouble, dispersed in all directions.

Even if those three men were stupid, they had now provoked someone they shouldn't have, and their legs began to tremble.

"Wrong, we were wrong, Hua Lei will go with you, we…"

"We deserve to die; we are blind."

"Please, let us go."

"Hua Lei, we're family after all, please help us plead."

……

The three men spoke one after another, looking at Hua Lei.

At this moment, Zhang Haifeng had not yet come to his senses regarding Chen Yongren and Hua Lei being together.

Although full of doubts, now is obviously not the time to talk.

Hua Lei hesitated a moment, then still walked to Chen Yongren's side; although she said nothing, this action already made her choice clear.

The three men were directly taken away in handcuffs.

Entering the detention office, that was his stage; dealing with them was simple.

If he wanted to nurture Hua Lei, he needed to eliminate future trouble completely.

He needed to think of a way to make the whole family leave completely.

"If you want to take anything, go get it; I'll wait outside." Chen Yongren said.

"Mm!" Hua Lei responded, quickly running to the door; Chen Yongren leaned against the wall, took out a cigarette, lit it, and had just taken a puff.

Then he saw a small head poking out from Hua Lei's doorway.

"Anything else?" Chen Yongren asked.

"No." Hua Lei gave a sweet smile.

"He's still here, how great."

"This isn't a dream."

"From now on, I will surely live well!"

Hearing Hua Lei's thoughts, Chen Yongren helplessly shook his head.

After about ten minutes, Hua Lei came out again.

When she went in, her hands were empty; when she came out, one hand clutched a piece of wood, and the other arm was laden with various bundles.

"Brother, I've got the stuff; we can go." Hua Lei hurried to Chen Yongren's side.

Seeing Hua Lei lugging big and small bags, Chen Yongren couldn't help but shake his head: "This isn't a refugee escape; throw away whatever should be thrown away."

"But these…" Hua Lei wanted to explain.

"We can buy new ones." Chen Yongren said directly: "You're about to start a new life; it's time to discard these old things and bid farewell to the past."

Hearing that, Hua Lei hesitated no more, tossed the packed luggage aside, and pots, pans, bowls, and miscellaneous items scattered everywhere.

Only the wood in her hand remained.

No, this isn't wood; it's a wooden carving?

Although the craftsmanship is rough, Chen Yongren could still tell it was a family of three.

The wooden carving was clenched tightly in her hand, obviously very important to her.

Seeing Chen Yongren's doubtful expression, Hua Lei explained: "This is something my father left behind; when I was little I lost my mother, and I could only remember her appearance using the wooden carving my father made…"

Her words carried a hint of sorrow.

"No wonder." Chen Yongren said no more.

He also bought several sets of bedding, shoes, and other daily necessities for Hua Lei; in the end there was too much stuff, so he rented a cart to carry it all.

Back home, Hua Lei curiously surveyed her new residence.

The place where she stood was the living room.

Usually Chen Yongren is here, teaching the wives Japanese.

Compared to where she used to live, the space here is larger and the sunlight abundant; Hua Lei looked around like a curious baby.

"This is my bedroom, that is my study; without my permission, you may not randomly enter my bedroom." Chen Yongren said.

"Mm-mmm!" Hua Lei kept nodding.

"I also have an empty room next door; of course, if you feel inconvenient." Chen Yongren pointed to the cottage outside the courtyard: "You can stay in that house."

"Aside from being a bit smaller, there's nothing else different there."

"It's fine, it's fine, it's convenient." Having a place to live is already good; Hua Lei dared not be picky.

After a pause, Hua Lei asked again: "Ren Ge, what do I need to do in the future?"

Offering oneself in marriage is just a joke.

Even if she truly offers herself, she still needs to do some work; she can't just keep eating and drinking for free at home.

"Clean the house, wash clothes, and buy whatever the household lacks." Chen Yongren thought for a moment, then asked: "Can you cook?"

"Yes!" Hua Lei nodded immediately.

"Then, when you're free, you can also cook for me to try your cooking." Chen Yongren said.

Hua Lei laughed: "I will definitely satisfy you."

"Then it depends on your ability." Chen Yongren also said: "I don't have a fixed off-work time each night; if you're hungry, you can eat first, and leave me some food when you're done."

"Oh..." Hua Lei nodded lightly.

"This is this month's living expenses; if it's not enough, come ask me again." Chen Yongren pretended to pull out his pocket, but actually took ten silver dollars from the system and handed them to Hua Lei.

"Mm!" Hua Lei responded, solemnly accepting the silver dollars.

"Anything else you don't understand?" Chen Yongren asked.

Hua Lei shook her head.

"Can you read characters?" Chen Yongren asked again.

Hua Lei nodded and said: "I've studied for a few years."

"Then that means you don't know them." Chen Yongren said: "I'll teach you to recognize and write characters from now on."

"Okay, good!" Hua Lei nodded excitedly, her eyes shining.

"You're a young woman; going out isn't always safe." Chen Yongren asked tentatively: "Would you like to learn some self-defense techniques?"

Self-defense techniques, self-defense techniques.

In a sense, taking out the opponent so they can't harm you also counts as self-defense.

"Willing!" Hua Lei exclaimed excitedly.

"Then I'll teach you when the chance comes." Chen Yongren smiled.

Starting now, I'll gradually teach Hua Lei some things, training her to become a reserve agent first.

"If you're free, you can first tidy up your bedroom; guests will arrive later." Chen Yongren also said.

"Guests?" Hua Lei felt a bit confused.

Chen Yongren didn't answer that question, instead sitting on the sofa and seriously reading the newspaper.

Hua Lei is indeed a diligent, hardworking good child; both inside and outside the house are spotless.

Suddenly changing to a new environment, her mood also improved considerably, and she hummed a tune softly.

Wisteria Field Home.

Tengyuan Jintai's mood seemed poor; he sat on the living room sofa, easing his emotions.

Tengyuan Lina, who was about to go out to study Chinese, saw this, walked to his side and asked: "Jintai, what's wrong?"

"Don't mention it, it's all because of that bastard Yugong!" Tengyuan Jintai's expression was irritable.

As he spoke, he suddenly looked at his wife with a fiery gaze full of hostility.

Lina was startled by his sudden change, instinctively wanting to retreat, but she heard Tengyuan Jintai say in a low voice: "Lina! I'm very angry!"

Feeling his gaze full of aggression.

Tengyuan Lina's eyes flashed with a hint of annoyance, just as she was about to resign herself, a hurried footstep came from outside.

Hearing the sound, she turned back to see Gaoliu Xiuji hurrying in, nodding at her, then said to Tengyuan Jintai sitting on the sofa: "Officer, there's a situation!"
