The beauties followed Luo Yang back to his parent's house.
Many villagers gathered at the Luo family home, firstly to celebrate Luo Yang's victory in the ring competition, and secondly to find out why the police were looking for Luo Yang.
When the villagers heard that Lin Family's henchmen had kidnapped Luo Guoxing, and Luo Yang had gone to rescue his brother, they all loudly cheered.
The atmosphere had been somewhat gloomy, but after learning the truth, everyone praised Luo Yang for what he had done.
The villagers all wanted to hear about Luo Yang's experience in the ring competition, and Luo Yang explained it succinctly.
Finally, he said, "Tomorrow I will invite everyone in the village for a meal to celebrate. Please help me inform others on your way back."
The villagers, having heard this, clapped and cheered, then dispersed.
It was already past eleven at night by then.
The beauties knew that Luo Yang needed to speak privately with his family, so most of them took their leave and headed back to Qin Piao's home.
Only An Yuying and Tang Guihua, the two village beauties, volunteered to stay behind.
Both women were rivals and had not yet learned to get along harmoniously.
On the surface, they both remained peaceful.
But in their hearts, neither wanted to share Luo Yang's love with the other.
The feud between Luo Yang and the Lin family had escalated to a white-hot stage and was irreconcilable.
Aside from seeking revenge on Luo Yang at any moment, the Lin family might also target the Tang family.
Therefore, Tang Guihua was very worried, both for Luo Yang's safety and for the Tang family, fearing they might be harmed by the Lin family.
She wanted to talk privately with Luo Yang to see how they could deal with the Lin family in the future.
When Tang Guihua decided to stay, An Yuying naturally did not want to return to Qin Piao's home first.
Both women covertly competed, seeing who could have the last laugh.
That night, learning that two significant events had happened to his son, Luo Zhihai and his wife Lin Cuilian were both delighted and frightened.
The Lin family was a formidable presence in Hongyun Town.
To dare to cross them was clearly inviting severe consequences.
Usually, if someone unintentionally offended the Lin family, they would either be crippled or have to flee overnight to another place to seek refuge.
The death of the youngest son of the Lin family, Lin Guofa, was now linked with Luo Yang, which was a matter more serious than anything else.
Luo Zhihai and Lin Cuilian did not know what to do, as the trouble far exceeded their ability to solve.
Apart from puffing cigarettes intensely, Luo Shenghai frowned, his face filled with worry and appeared dazed.
Lin Cuilian's face turned slightly pale, sitting restlessly, occasionally glancing at her elder son, then at her younger son.
Fortunately, their younger son, Luo Guoxing, had come back safely, which relieved Lin Cuilian considerably.
The room was filled with a dense atmosphere of gloom and fear.
The smoke from the cigarettes curled up and quickly spread to every corner of the hall.
Normally, Luo Yang did not smoke in front of his father.
But being somewhat mentally disturbed, he took out a cigarette, offered one to Luo Zhihai first, and then lit one for himself.
Luo Zhihai paused, then took the cigarette and tucked it behind his ear.
After lighting the cigarette and taking a slow drag, Luo Yang felt he had a few points to discuss.
His parents probably knew about the prize money from the ring competition.
Luo Yang then said, "Dad, mom, I don't have a lot of money right now, but after taxes, I've got over a million from tonight."
Sure enough, Luo Zhihai pointed at the house and said, "If we have money, we can renovate it, add two more stories, or even tear it down and rebuild."
Having expected his parents to have this idea, Luo Yang replied, "Is one million enough?"
Seeing Luo Zhihai nod, Luo Yang continued, "Then tomorrow I'll transfer a million to you. It's good to tear it down and build a villa."
Upon hearing that a new house was going to be built, Lin Cuilian's face finally regained some normalcy.
The atmosphere wasn't as oppressive as before.
"I will handle the matter with the Lin family. Just don't leave the village casually, and if you need to buy something, have someone bring it back," Luo Yang instructed.
Seeing how much the elder son had changed, Luo Zhihai and his wife looked at Luo Yang with renewed respect.
Whatever Luo Yang said, Luo Zhihai and his wife agreed with nods.
Seeing the two beauties sitting beside him, one on each side, Luo Yang smiled and said, "Dad, mom, I have something to tell you. Sister An and Sister Guihua bought clothes for you while shopping, but they haven't brought them over yet."
At that moment, Luo Yang glanced around.
Upon hearing Luo Yang say this so suddenly, An Yuying and Tang Guihua were taken aback, their pretty faces instantly flushing with a bright red.
Having said it out loud, An Yuying and Tang Guihua could hardly deny it.
"I'm not sure if they'll fit you, but I'll go get them for you later. If they don't fit, you can exchange them," Tang Guihua said bashfully.
"You are really thoughtful," Lin Cuilian exclaimed joyfully.
Among the two village beauties, Tang Guihua naturally had the bolder streak.
Now that Tang Guihua had spoken, An Yuying also had to muster the courage to say a few words.
"The style I bought might not be good, I forgot to call and ask you about it at the time," An Yuying said shyly, her face blushing.
"Any style is fine with us. We are so thankful for your thoughtfulness," Lin Cuilian said with a smile.
Luo Zhihai smoked a cigarette while sizing up his elder son, his envious gaze seeming to say: Gosh, what method did you use to win over the two great beauties of the village?
Then, Lin Cuilian went into the room for a while.
When she came out, she had two red envelopes in her hand.
"Here, this is for you, Guihua, and this is for you, Yuying," Lin Cuilian stuffed the red envelopes into the hands of the two women.
The two village beauties accepted them with a smile, but their necks were flushed.
That mesmerizing allure, as gentle as the autumn moon and as delicate as the spring flowers, had its own uniquely captivating charm.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to see the village chief to talk, he said he has something to discuss with me," Luo Yang said, checking the time.
So Luo Yang left the house.
The two village beauties followed closely behind Luo Yang.
It was only when they were walking on the village path that the two village beauties confronted Luo Yang.
First, Tang Guihua pinched Luo Yang's arm and said with a smile, "Niu Zai, you made a move without consulting your old lady first?"
If he had talked to the two great beauties first, they would have likely been too shy and kept evading the issue.
Luo Yang simply didn't tell them, knowing they would accept it anyway.
"Sister Guihua, go easy," Luo Yang hooking his right arm around Tang Guihua's slender waist and pulled her over.
"You really gave your old lady a fright just now," Tang Guihua said with a chuckle.
Seeing Luo Yang embracing Tang Guihua, jealousy immediately surged in An Yuying's heart.
"Niu Zai~"
An Yuying called out softly in a ghostly voice.
From the tone of her voice alone, one could tell An Yuying's heart was brimming with jealousy.
"Sister An."
Luo Yang slowed his pace, stretching out his left hand to grasp An Yuying's hand.
An Yuying pretended to shake off his hand, but didn't try very hard.
Then Luo Yang pulled An Yuying close and wrapped his left arm around her slender waist as well.
At that point, Luo Yang was in the middle, with An Yuying on the left and Tang Guihua on the right.
Under the moonlight, the three of them walked tightly together.
The two village beauties each wrapped their arms around Luo Yang's waist.
"Niu Zai, you still haven't answered your old lady's question," Tang Guihua continued to pinch Luo Yang's ribs.
"Sister Guihua."
Before he finished speaking, Luo Yang gently pecked Tang Guihua's red lips.
Tang Guihua giggled.
"Niu Zai, I'm not speaking to you anymore," An Yuying said sourly, swaying her delicate body.
"Sister An." Luo Yang then pecked An Yuying's lips.
"I'm really not speaking to you now, I want to... mmm..."
As she spoke, An Yuying's mouth was sealed by Luo Yang's kiss.
Only muffled sounds lingered in the night air.
