Chapter 1397: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1397: Cause and Effect
The village head, was the wealthiest family in Zhou Village. With a strong family background and two successful elder brothers – one a scholar and the other a businessman in the county, Zhou Hao's status and value in the village were the highest.
Now at the age of sixteen, matchmakers from neighboring areas almost broke through Zhou Family Village's threshold trying to propose marriage to Zhou Hao. If it weren't for the Zhou family being picky and unable to make a decision, Zhou Hao could have gotten married even when he was thirteen or fourteen.
However, now that he was at this age, the Zhou family realized they couldn't delay any longer. They found a family with excellent conditions in the county and wanted to propose a marriage.
However, Zhou Hao disagreed. He was interested in Li Miao, a girl from the Li family in the village.
When the master of Dongqing Temple mentioned this, she took a sip of water and looked at Shu Yu. "She's the slim girl you saw today."
The reason why the village was called Zhou Village was that two-thirds of the people in the village had the surname Zhou; they were all from the same family.
On the other hand, the Li family was an outsider. Li Miao and her mother had moved to the village a few years ago to escape famine and settled down here.
Apart from Li Miao and her mother, there was also an eight-year-old younger brother in their family.
They lived a very difficult life, and in Zhou Family Village, where most people had the surname Zhou, they had little presence. Moreover, Li Miao's mother was not in good health, so Li Miao had to support the family in many ways.
As a result, despite being seventeen years old, Li Miao had not yet been married.
Not just the Zhou family, even the other villagers in the village didn't think much of the Li family's situation.
Zhou Hao was well aware of this.
Li Miao was even more aware of this. So, when she learned of Zhou Hao's feelings, instead of trying to climb the social ladder, she distanced herself from him and tried to avoid him.
Shu Yu asked curiously, "What does Li Miao think of Zhou Hao then?"
The master of Dongqing Temple sighed softly, "That's why I said they're a pair of infatuated youngsters. Li Miao and her mother came here to escape famine. They were strangers in the village and faced many difficulties. As the son of the village head, Zhou Hao helped them a lot and even saved Li Miao's life once."
Shu Yu understood; Li Miao also liked Zhou Hao.
However, due to their different backgrounds and the many concerns they had, she wouldn't let her emotions take over.

Compared to the burdens on Li Miao's shoulders, Zhou Hao grew up being pampered by his family. He had not experienced the same hardships as Li Miao and therefore had a more straightforward and direct mindset.
As a result, Zhou Hao was resolute in his feelings, and the young boy's passion made him willing to brave all obstacles for their future.
Thankfully, despite being naive, he was not foolish. He didn't mention this matter to his family.
He knew where the root of the issue lay. His parents believed that Li Miao was not worthy of him, so he decided to make himself worthy of her.
Shu Yu nodded in understanding, "So, he intentionally eats a live chicken once every half month, waking up in the middle of the night to make it appear as if he is possessed. Wealthier families would look down on him, and his parents had to postpone the marriage proposal?"
"Yes," the master of Dong Qing Temple confirmed.
Shu Yu's expression was peculiar, filled with hesitation.
The master of Dongqing Temple raised an eyebrow, "I know you don't approve of his methods."
"No, it's not that I don't approve. I just think... isn't it disgusting to eat a live chicken? And doing it once every half month, how can he swallow it?" As she spoke, Shu Yu couldn't help but shudder at the thought.
Dongqing Temple master "..."
She began to doubt her fortune-telling skills. How could she not see what was on Shu Yu's mind?
