Village Chief Xu mulled it over for a moment and decided his wife had a point.
He took a few hard puffs from his pipe, then tapped it against the table, knocking the ash onto the floor.
At his side, Chen Xiumin immediately exploded.
"You old coot! How many times have I told you? Knock the ash somewhere else! You always tap it onto the floor. Who do you think is going to clean that up!"
Hearing this, Village Chief Xu's old face twitched.
He had been preoccupied with thoughts about his daughter and hadn't paid attention, tapping the ash onto the floor by mistake.
He knew his wife was about to let him have it.
To avoid a lecture from his wife, Village Chief Xu quickly stood up.
"I'm heading to the Educated Youth Point now. Since this has already happened, we need to get Yun Hao over here to propose marriage so Wen Wan can get married as soon as possible."
With that, he beat a hasty retreat and hurried out the door.
