Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

When the news reached Gu Huanxi, she was so angry that she laughed. There was no trouble in the mansion, and no one dared to gather and cause trouble outside because people from the Dali Temple and the Jinyiwei had walked past the gate several times. However, she didn't expect that in the most reassuring Hutian Village, some people were causing unrest.

It's the Xu family. How much do they hate Xu Huaiyi? They don't even care about the family reputation and are eager to put the blame on themselves?

After all, in the eyes of many people, Xu Huaiyi is a member of the Xu family. You can't write two Xu characters with one stroke. Now that Xu Huaiyi is cuckolded, does that mean other men in the Xu family can feel proud?

It's just as embarrassing!

If it were normal, wouldn't they have tried to cover it up? Why did they expose it themselves?

In order to retaliate against Xu Huaiyi, they will stop at nothing and have no bottom line!

The fire was burning fiercely. No matter how open-minded Gu Huanxi was, she couldn't just let it go. She called Hu Yingjie over and explained it to him solemnly, asking him to go back to the village and tell Village Chief Xu and Uncle Xu. At the end, she said coldly, "The Xu family can indulge Xu Huaili again and again because he is a member of the Xu family. But my last name is Gu, and I will never allow such a despicable and vicious person to stab me in the back again and again. If they are still soft-hearted this time, I will do it myself. I am not afraid of dirtying the knife to deal with this beast."

Hu Yingjie was shocked by this straightforward statement. He wanted to say something but swallowed it back in the end. He could not blame his wife for being cruel. It was really that Xu Huaili was too ruthless this time. It was obvious that he wanted to force his wife to death and completely ruin Xu Huaiyi. What future could a man, who was planning to make great achievements and had ambitious goals, have if he was cuckolded?

Ruin someone's future and destroy their reputation. If you don't punish the person with such deep hatred, you must be a living Bodhisattva!

He made up his mind and rushed back to Hutian Village without delay, going to Uncle Xu's house first. Coincidentally, Village Chief Xu was also there, saving him an extra trip.

The two men already knew about the "good things" Xu Huaili had done and were discussing what to do. One was irritable and the other was worried. When they saw Hu Yingjie rushing over with a solemn expression, their hearts suddenly skipped a beat. After hearing what he said, their faces all changed.

Hu Yingjie did not urge them. He sat aside patiently drinking tea, waiting to see what explanation the two of them would give to the Gu family. Would they protect Xu Huaili or the Gu family?

In fact, the answer to this question is not difficult to give, and it is not even a choice. Village Chief Xu will definitely stand on Xu Huaiyi's side without hesitation. Whether for the benefit of the entire villagers or for justice, he will not choose the second way. Only Uncle Xu is embarrassed and entangled. It is not about whose side to stand on, but how to deal with Xu Huaili in order to satisfy Gu Huanxi.

It was too cruel. He couldn't do it, and it would hurt the feelings of the tribe members. But it was too lenient. Gu Huanxi disagreed. If she did it herself, then Xu Huaili...

He didn't even dare to think about the outcome.

The atmosphere in the room was so depressing that it was suffocating. The only sound was Uncle Xu's increasingly heavy breathing. His brows were furrowed, and he looked like a trapped beast that couldn't find a way out.

Village Chief Xu glanced at Hu Yingjie quietly, then fixed his eyes on Uncle Xu's face, and said earnestly, "What else do you have to think about? We have to give Huaiyi an explanation, both emotionally and rationally. It was Xu Huaili who did the wrong thing. He was ruthless and ungrateful first. He can't blame others for being cruel, and no one forced him to do that. It's just that he is narrow-minded and has always been jealous of Huaiyi, so he has never given up the idea of ​​revenge..."

At this point, he sighed helplessly, "In the past, the tricks he used were despicable, but he was still reckless. You could have spared him this time for the sake of blood ties. Anyway, he didn't gain any advantage in the end and learned a lesson. But this time is different. He clearly wants to completely destroy the Gu family and force Gu to die. He also wants to make it impossible for Huaiyi to turn over..."

Hatred flashed in his eyes, and his words became fierce. "Is it easy for Huaiyi to have this day? We can all guess how much he has paid behind the scenes, but the little beast maliciously plotted, and Huaiyi's efforts and hard work were destroyed. From now on, he has to live with a green hat on his head. How can he raise his head to see people?"

He slammed the table heavily, his eyes bloodshot, "Huai Yi wanted to take the military examination to become an official, but now he is risking his life to go to the south to fight. What is he trying to achieve? Isn't it to make achievements and bring honor to his wife and children at home, and bring glory to his ancestors? Otherwise, who would be willing to give up their family and career to suffer that?"

His voice was getting louder and louder, and he glared at Uncle Xu who was hanging his head in shame. He couldn't help but vent his anger on him, and his words became more impolite. "But what about now? Huaiyi is not at home, so it would be fine if he didn't help, but he stabbed him in the back. Is this a brother? Even animals know not to eat the cubs of the same mother, but he is worse than an animal, picking on his own brothers. If he succeeds, what can Huaiyi do even if he made contributions on the battlefield? After he comes back, his wife is gone, and his reputation is ruined. What's the use of the contributions he gained at the risk of his life?"

He was almost in agony when he said this, "He is so cruel, he really is so cruel, he won't leave any chance for Huaiyi and his wife, nor for the people in Xujia Village!"

"He only cares about his own little piece of land and doesn't care about the lives of others. Huaiyi is ruined. Do you think the village workshop can still be run? Can the several businesses on the farm still be done? The Su family will definitely not cooperate with us anymore. Then we will all be finished! This is just a few days of good life!"

At this moment, his face was livid, and his chest was heaving violently. He was obviously really angry. He stopped beating around the bush and sneered, "Also, with Huaiyi's temper, if he comes back and finds that our home is in a mess and was ruined by Xu Huaili, and we haven't given him a decent explanation, do you think he can be willing to swallow that anger?"

He stood up and pointed at Uncle Xu and said in hatred, "I'm telling you, it won't happen! When the time comes, it won't just be a matter of dealing with Xu Huaili alone. Your brother's family may all be buried with him! We will all become victims too!"

Finally, Uncle Xu raised his head with a pale face, trembling all over, his eyes full of fear and anxiety, his voice trembling and incoherent, but he finally made up his mind, "You tell me what to do? I'll listen to you..."

Village Chief Xu gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you sure?"

Uncle Xu nodded stiffly, "Sure!"

Village Chief Xu asked again, "Don't you regret it?"

Uncle Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No regrets..."

Did he still have the right to regret? No, he was like standing on the edge of a cliff. If he took one step forward, he would be crushed to pieces. He could only retreat.

Village Chief Xu softened his tone, and finally there was some warmth in his eyes. "Okay, if you say so, it's fine. If you don't want to show up, I'll go alone. I'm not afraid of being the bad guy, or calling you Fourth Uncle..."

Uncle Xu tried hard to stand up by supporting himself on the table legs and said in a hoarse voice, "No need to disturb him. I am the patriarch of the Xu family, and it is only legitimate for me to go. Let's go..."

After saying this, he turned around first, as if he was afraid that he would regret it the next second.

But his back was bent and could no longer straighten up. In a moment, he looked ten years older.

Village Chief Xu opened his mouth, sighed silently, turned to look at Hu Yingjie, and asked him what he thought.

Hu Yingjie put down his teacup expressionlessly, stood up and said, "You two go first. I need to tell my grandfather that if we expel that family from the village, it will have more weight if my grandfather is present."

Village Chief Xu forced a smile with difficulty, "Okay, okay, then I'll trouble you to ask your grandfather to go there..."

Hu Yingjie said, "It's my job. When Third Brother Xu left, he specifically told me that if the Gu family has any trouble, Madam Gu is the most important. I will do whatever Madam Gu says. As for the consequences, I will bear them. If anyone bullies Madam Gu, I will fight back tenfold. This instruction is not only known to me, but also to dozens of guards in the Gu family, from top to bottom!"

Hearing this, Village Chief Xu exclaimed, "Wow!" He broke out in a cold sweat. Although he had never wavered in his support for Xu Huaiyi, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved for having survived a disaster. He smiled dryly and said, "Huaiyi loves his wife very much. Everyone in the village can see it. Everyone also respects and appreciates Ah Li's mother..."

Hu Yingjie nodded in agreement. "There are dozens of people in the Gu family, and they all respect Madam very much. No one believed the rumors before. Everything in the mansion was peaceful and life went on as usual. Who would have thought that trouble would appear in the village..."

Village Chief Xu's face flushed, and he said ashamedly, "It's my fault. I didn't manage it well. Alas, I've been a hindrance. When Huaiyi comes back, I'll make amends to him. I've failed to live up to his trust..."

Before Xu Huaiyi left, he came to the village to say goodbye and brought generous gifts to Village Chief Xu, Uncle Xu and other acquaintances. His purpose was to ask them to help take care of the workshop and home, and also to keep an eye on the people in the Xu family to prevent them from causing trouble. He didn't do that.

Hu Yingjie advised, "Xu San Ge is a reasonable man, and you didn't mean it. It's not too late to make amends now. If you let that family do whatever they want, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resolve."

Village Chief Xu nodded continuously, "Don't worry, this time we will definitely solve the problem once and for all, and we will never let them have the chance to harm Huaiyi again..."

"That's best."

If he were to say, it should have been done a long time ago, but because of the consideration of the fellow-townsman sentiment and Uncle Xu's indecision, it was dragged on until now, resulting in such a big disaster. However, looking at it from another angle, this may be a good thing. It can take this opportunity to completely separate Xu Huaiyi from that family, while also maintaining the righteousness and not affecting his reputation. In this way, it can also eliminate future troubles. After all, that family is in cahoots with the Qiao family, and the Qiao family is on the fourth prince's ship. Who knows if they will be implicated in the future?

The sooner you cut it off, the less worry you’ll have.

When the few people arrived at Old Xu's house, the family was also unhappy. The reason was very simple. Xu Huairen and Xu Huaiyu did not agree with Xu Huaili doing these things behind their backs and hiding them from them, acting first and reporting later, and completely disregarding their feelings and interests.

Xu Huailian didn't object.

As for Xu Maoshan, he watched his sons quarreling until their faces turned red and he said nothing.

Xu Huaili did not feel guilty, nor did he regret it. He argued confidently and self-righteously. He did not think he had done anything wrong, but was rather complacent. This move was very clever, as it allowed him to clear himself and destroy Xu Huaiyi at the same time. He was so proud of himself!

However, he did not expect that his brothers at home would oppose and even condemn him. He refuted fiercely but did not take it seriously. However, what really made him unbelievable and unacceptable was the punishment from the village.

"What? Expel the clan? And leave Hutian Village? Ha, ha, ha, why?"

He laughed in anger and sat down on the ground like a scoundrel, "This is my territory, don't you dare chase me away!"

Uncle Xu looked at him with hatred and raised his hand tremblingly, "You are such a beast. How dare you stay here after doing such a heinous thing? You are not worthy of being a descendant of the Xu family. If I don't expel you from the family, the coffins of our ancestors will not be able to hold you down!"

"Uncle..."

"Shut up, and don't call me uncle anymore. I don't have a nephew as heartless and ungrateful as you. From now on, our blood relationship is severed and we never see each other again."

Xu Huaili just found it unbelievable, "You, are you crazy or senile?"

Uncle Xu suddenly burst into tears at this moment, beating his chest and howling, "I am old and confused. I should have opened my eyes and taken care of it earlier. Then there wouldn't be such a disaster today. It's all my fault..."

Seeing this, Xu Huaixiao hurried forward to support him, "Dad, calm down..."

Uncle Xu was not going to listen. He was shaky and in great pain. "I won't be able to face my ancestors when I die. I regret it so much. If I had known this would happen, I would not have done it in the first place..."

Xu Huaixiao didn't know how to persuade him and was extremely anxious.

The people in Old Xu's family were even more anxious than he was. They all felt as if they had been struck by lightning. The extermination of the clan was too big a matter, and no one could bear it all at once.

Xu Maoshan asked with a serious face, "Brother, are you serious? We are brothers..."

Uncle Xu regretted his decision, "Just because we are brothers, I indulged you all the time. I knew what you did was wrong, but I couldn't bring myself to do anything about it. That's why your family went astray, and now..."

He waved his hands, choking with sobs and unable to continue.

Seeing this, Xu Huairen and Xu Huaiyu came over in panic to plead for mercy. They didn't want to be expelled from the tribe. What future could those who were expelled from the tribe have?

"Uncle, this is none of our business. We didn't know anything about it!"

"Yes, uncle, it was all done by my second brother alone. We are also very angry. We were still arguing about this before you came in..."

Uncle Xu looked defeated. "Don't say anything. I have made up my mind and will never change it. All of you will be exterminated from the clan. No one will be left alive."

"Uncle!"

Uncle Xu turned around with staggering steps, his back looking resolute.

The Xu family was in chaos, but that wasn’t the worst. They also had to leave the village!

Village Chief Xu was much tougher. After making his announcement, he didn't even listen to their arguments and just chased them away. They refused to leave? No problem, just give them a beating. The villagers were united and worried about losing their jobs. They had long hated this troublemaker. At Village Chief Xu's command, they rushed forward.

In the yard, there was chaos, shouting, cursing, and crying.

Hu Yingjie did not take any action, but just watched from the side. He did not return to the capital until he witnessed with his own eyes that family being driven out of the village in a miserable state, like a dog that had lost its home, and reported the result to Gu Huanxi.

Gu Huanxi had expected it, but hearing it with his own ears still made him feel very happy.
