Chapter 459: Concealing Status

It was only because Old Man Liu was the Village Chief and had a house that was spacious enough to afford so many vacancies that they had the option to stay. Originally, he had planned to arrange a few more vacant rooms in the Village, but he stopped when Master Su refused.

Master Su's refusal was out of safety considerations. After all, it was an extraordinary period, and their identities were sensitive. It was safer for everyone to stay together to prevent others from taking advantage.

"Since Brother Su has put it that way, I won't insist," Old Man Liu said with a laugh. As the Village Chief, he was more worldly than the average villager. He was aware of the many taboos affluent individuals had outside their familiar settings. Seeing Master Su's refusal, he did not persist.

"Alright, I will let you know if we need anything. Thanks a lot, old brother." Master Su liked the straightforwardness of Old Man Liu and happily accepted his offer.
