Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children

"Village Chief, just do whatever you say. We really have no idea."

The village chief said: "Gu Laosi is such a bully. Anyway, I won't help. You can help if you want. I have no control over it."

"Shall we go to the party tomorrow?"

"I won't go. You can go if you want. I won't stop you."

Others also shouted: "I won't go either."

"The reason why I am alive today is because of Mrs. Lin, not that idiot Gu and Ms. Chen."

"That's right, our Hegou Village's good life today depends entirely on the Lin family."

"Whoever you want to go can go, but I won't go anyway."

Some people said with a worried look: "It's okay if I don't help today, they have enough people anyway."

"But if I don't go tomorrow, wouldn't it be a bit disrespectful to others?"

"Now that he is a general, will he kill the whole village in a fit of anger?"

The village chief slapped the table: "How dare he!"

"Why don't you dare? All generals have killed people before. The older the general, the more merciless he is in killing people. Killing people is like chopping vegetables and melons."

"The magistrate of our county can seal off Hegou Village at will and send all the people infected with the plague in, regardless of the life and death of the whole village."

"If idiot Gu wants to kill us, the reason is that if we die, it will be in vain. No one will seek justice for us."

"It's not that I'm afraid of death, I'm worried that my children at home will be affected..."

When the villagers heard what Er Lengzi said, they felt somewhat hesitant and timid.

The village chief also frowned. He was the village chief and had to be responsible for the whole village. He could not harm the whole village just because of his anger.

"You all should leave. I'll go ask Lin what he wants."

"We'll have another meeting in the evening."

"Okay, here comes the village chief."

The second time, the villagers all arrived at Gu's house with gifts and auspicious words on their lips, which was completely different from the indignation of yesterday.

The banquet was very lively. Chen Jiaojiao wore a phoenix crown, red damask and purple satin, and a jingle. She looked like the mistress of a wealthy family.

The villagers were shocked by her luxurious outfit, especially the dazzling bright red coral earrings on her ears.

Coral grows on the bottom of the sea. Ordinary fishermen cannot get down to it. Moreover, the conditions in the deep sea are complex and extremely difficult to pick. It is more precious than Dongzhu.

Such bright red, large and round coral beads are even rarer treasures.

All the young girls in the village stared at Chen Jiaojiao with envy. They were probably imagining that they would marry a general in the future and wear a phoenix crown and harem.

In contrast, Lin Shuangshuang's dress today looked much more elegant. She was just like an ordinary peasant woman with good looks.

The two stood together, and Lin Shuangshuang was instantly compared to Chen Jiaojiao's maid.

Some of the aunts who couldn't stand it came forward to persuade her enthusiastically: "Shuang'er, it's not my aunt who told you that you don't dress up for such a big day."

"Put on the official uniform that the emperor rewarded you with. Although it is not as fancy as hers, no one can look down upon you."

"This man likes beautiful people at all times. You are much prettier than that woman. Her clothes will only look better if she wears them on you."

"You should also spend more time dressing yourself up in the future."

"It doesn't matter if he forgets about the past. As long as you get along for a long time, he will find that you are better than that Miss Chen, and he will slowly develop feelings for you."

"Your uncle and I have never met before we got married. We didn't know each other's looks until the wedding night, let alone have feelings for each other. It will be better as time goes by."

Lin Shuangshuang smiled bitterly: "Auntie, official uniforms are not worn casually, nor are they meant to compare with others."

"Her clothes are nice, but they are too tiring."

"I'm very heavy now and it's hard to stand for a while. I don't want to wear something so cumbersome."

Hu Zi Niang said angrily: "You are just too naive. All the limelight today was taken away by that woman."

Lin Shuangshuang said indifferently: "If she likes to be in the limelight, let her do it. She is my husband's favorite, and it doesn't matter whether she is in the limelight or not."

"If I steal her limelight, it will make everyone unhappy."

Hu Zi Niang sighed, this woman who has no man to love her is really wronged, she has to think so much about even putting on her clothes.

"Okay, since you have your own considerations, Auntie won't say more."

During the dinner, Chen Jiaojiao acted like a hostess, talking and saying hello to the villagers, but with a touch of familiarity and a sense of superiority.

Suddenly, Chen Jiaojiao touched her ears and called out, "Where are my earrings?"

"Xiao Tao, have you seen my earrings?" Chen Jiaojiao asked the maid next to her anxiously.

"This slave didn't see it."

"Maybe it has been lost. I will help Madam find it now." Xiao Tao hurriedly lowered his head to look for it.

At this time, everyone looked at Chen Jiaojiao and saw that there was only a string of coral beads left on her ears.

Everyone also subconsciously lowered their heads to look for it. It was a pity to lose such a valuable thing, but if anyone picked it up and thought about it, it would be embarrassing and hurt others.

Miss Chen was obviously very attached to the precious pair of earrings, and she kept showing off that Gu Hanzhou personally dived into the seabed to help her find them, and they were a token of their love.

If this was lost, there would probably be a big fuss due to Miss Chen's unruly character.

Fortunately, today's banquet was in accordance with the rules of the capital, with separate seats for men and women.

The women's seats are inside the courtyard and the men's seats are outside. Therefore, Miss Chen's earrings can only fall into the courtyard.

The Gu family's yard is so big. If someone hadn't picked it up and hid it secretly, it should be easy to find.

But everyone looked down and couldn't find it. Chen Jiaojiao was extremely anxious.

"Xiao Tao, have you found it?"

"How did I tell you this morning? I told you that these earrings are a token of love given to me by my husband. They are of great significance to me. You must keep them safe for me and don't lose them."

"I didn't ask you to do anything today. I just asked you to follow me and keep an eye on my earrings. Why did you still lose them?"

"Are you being lazy on purpose and don't take my wife's words to heart at all?"

Xiao Tao was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy: "Madam, please forgive me. I am not lazy. I have indeed been staring at your earrings."

"It's just...just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that after the food and drinks were served and everyone was seated, Mrs. Lin suddenly walked past the slave, blocking her view."

"The slave didn't notice anything wrong at first, but soon discovered that the lady's earrings were missing."

"I was afraid that you would be angry and didn't dare to say anything. I kept looking down, thinking that as long as I found it, I would be fine."

As soon as these words came out, everyone stared at Lin Shuangshuang, and Chen Jiaojiao's eyes instantly turned red.

"Sister Shuang'er, I didn't mean to show off. I just got a little carried away because I was happy today. I didn't mean to make you unhappy."
