Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Open-hearted than Anyone else

A public speech, too? Bai Ruozhu was a bit surprised as the village chief hadn't mentioned this when he sent Wan Minglu to deliver the message to her father. However, seeing her father's reaction, neither surprised nor flustered, she realized the village chief must have already discussed with him in advance and likely obtained his consent.

"Oh dear, he has to deliver a speech too?" Lin Ping'er, standing next to her, had already begun to mutter apprehensively.

Bai Ruozhu chuckled slightly, knowing full well how much her mother doted on her father and how she feared he might embarrass himself, which would upset him.

"Mother, don't worry. I can tell Father has thought about what to say. Although he is not talkative, he is very reliable. He won't let this little matter trip him up," said Bai Ruozhu with a smile.

Zhou Deshun's wife also agreed, "Yeah, your husband seems pretty calm. He'll be fine."

Meanwhile, Bai Yihong had already stepped forward and begun to speak.
