Chapter 606
Since childhood, Shane had never been a well-behaved person. He would
always make funny faces and engage in mischievous behavior to grab
everyone’s attention. However, what was unexpected was that he had
become shameless after all these years.
“Manny, why did your family suddenly decide to come back for the New Year
this year? It’s been years since your last visit, isn’t it?” he asked while driving.
Before Emmanuel could respond, he answered his question, “Did you get
married?”
Glancing at the rearview mirror, he confirmed that only Emmanuel and his
family had returned and shook his head. “No way! With your awkward speech
and unimpressive appearance, how could you possibly manage to find a
wife?”
Emmanuel was left speechless while Roselynn burst into a chuckle. She found
that Shane’s lack of tact was nothing out of the ordinary. She also used to
think that Emmanuel’s awkward speech would not be able to attract a wife,
but then Mackenzie came into his life unexpectedly. If Shane found out about
it, would he not be infuriated?
“Hehe, he did get married. He came back to pay respects to our ancestors,”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlessandra finally replied to Shane’s question.
However, he was taken aback and looked incredulous, exclaiming, “This is so
unfair! Aside from being slightly taller, better-looking, and having slightly
better martial arts skills than me, what does Manny have that surpasses me?
I don’t even have a girlfriend yet… I mean, too many girls like me, and I can’t
decide which one to choose. So, for now, I’ll stay single. How did Manny get
married before me, though?”
Emmanuel simply smiled and stayed silent. Roselynn listened to the banter of
this amusing guy throughout the journey, treating it as a live comedy show
on the first day of the New Year. Alessandra, on the other hand, felt delighted.
This compassionate woman had previously worried about Shane’s future, but
it seemed that he could take care of himself quite well.
Thanks to his help, they finally arrived at Hero’s Village a little after 8.00AM.
The road conditions outside had changed a lot, but the village remained
unchanged from ten years ago.
The town had a simple and rustic charm. Half of the house’s were
constructed with sturdy stone bricks, while the other half were built with
traditional mud bricks. The streets were surprisingly clean and
well-maintained, a stark contrast to the villages in Eastern Star Mountain.
Due to Hero’s Village’s strong emphasis on patriotism and defending its
homeland, it witnessed numerous residents serving in the military-and
bravely venturing into battle over the past century. As a tribute to their valor,
the village was adorned with stone statues, some of which had been cast in
bronze.
The majority of the villagers were humble and down-to-earth, still donning
buttoned cotton-padded jackets. Some farmers even wore headscarves;
many had tanned skin from toiling in the fields under the sun.
As car ownership was scarce in the village, Shane’s arrival in a vehicle
attracted attention. As the car came to a stop and Emmanuel’s family
stepped out, someone immediately exclaimed, “Holy sh*t, Emmanuel, you’ve
finally returned to the village for the New Year!”
Emmanuel looked at the person and was also slightly surprised. “Frederick, is
that you?”
The two had grown up together in the same village, so their relationship was
close. He had assumed that Frederick’s family, like theirs, had settled in the
city and would not return to the village for the New Year, especially
considering that he was still single!-
“Haha, l’only came back to the village this year for a blind date. They say
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmvillage women are simple and down-to-earth. I’m also tired of searching for
gold diggers outside! It’s exhausting…” Frederick said as he patted
Emmanuel’s shoulder.
Before Emmanuel could say anything, Shane immediately teased, “Frederick,
from how you’re talking, it sounds like you’re tired of those city girls and want
to return to the village to find an honest person! But don’t assume that village
women have lower standards. There might be a slight gap between your
style and their ideal standards.”
Pfft. Roselynn was once again amused by Shane.
Frederick’s complexion instantly turned green, and he pointed his finger at
Shane, cursing angrily, “If it weren’t for the fact that I’m not as fat as you and
afraid I couldn’t take you down, I would’ve already thrown a punch at you!”
Amidst the boasting and banter, a growing crowd of villagers gathered
around.
“Oh, are they the Lowe family?”
“That woman looks like Alessandra!”
“Are the tall man and woman her children? Or did her son bring his wife
back?”
Some curious onlookers and gossipmongers started to gather around as if
there were newcomers in the village, eagerly engaging in discussions about
the situation.
