After speaking, Jiang Zhengmao opened the door - entered the house - and closed the door in one go with a posture that he had never shown before. He blocked the door and listened to what was going on outside.

Someone was banging on the door, but there was no sound after just a moment.

Jiang Zhengmao finally relaxed completely. He looked up and saw that all the villagers in the yard who were still working seriously were looking at him.

He put his hands behind his back and stood up straight, shouting with a serious face: "What are you looking at! Work quickly!"

The villagers of Dafeng Village who left outside the door were thinking about this in a low voice as they walked back.

"I'm telling you! I can't stand listening to what Mrs. Chai arranged for me. Who in Jiuxi Village is so generous and allows us to do work and pays us wages?"

Zhou Mancang's daughter-in-law Zhou Yeshi put her hands in her sleeves and looked at the aunt who was talking. She remembered that the aunt seemed to have a lot of arrangements.

"In the end, Mrs. Chai still can't figure it out. Her second son can be the girl's father, but she still treats her second son as a treasure. Now, even the people in Dafeng Village have a grudge. .”

Zhou Yeshi looked at the aunt who was talking again. If she remembered correctly, this aunt had told Mrs. Chai what was she afraid of? They can't get married anyway, so it would be great if someone wants them!

"I heard before that the people in their tofu shop can earn more than one tael of silver a month!"

"so much?!"

"That's right! It's all over now. From what I see, the village chief looks like he has eaten the weight and is determined not to accept us Dafeng villagers anymore. He blames that Mrs. Chai!"

"How about sending some things over? Maybe it can be done?"

"Do you think no one has sent them in the past two days? They have all been returned!"

"No, I'm so angry!" Someone became more annoyed and angry the more he thought about it, "Why don't we go to Mrs. Chai's house to review the situation! If she hadn't made such a fuss, maybe the matter would have been settled!"

"Okay, okay, I'm with you!"

"I am coming too!"

······

Zhou Ye stopped for a moment and stared dumbfoundedly at everyone walking towards Mrs. Chai's house. After being stunned for a moment, she stamped her feet and trotted home.

She had to talk to her father-in-law to avoid anything happening!

As soon as Jiang Huaixu came back in the evening, he heard about what happened in Dafeng Village.

"Is there a fight?" Jiang Wei's eyes shone with excitement, "Oh! If I had known I wouldn't go to the county seat today, I could have seen the excitement!"

Jiang Sanlang has been selling garlic for several days. He sold out all the crops yesterday. He didn't go to the county town today, so he went to see the excitement after hearing the news. After drinking water to moisten his throat, he continued: "You didn't Seeing that scene - if Mrs. Chai's son and grandson hadn't happened to be at home, they would have started fighting! But it was almost the same. Their family was almost drowned by the spit of the villagers. In the end, if Zhou Lizheng hadn't come forward, there would have been some trouble... ···”

"What, Third Brother! I took you seriously when you said we were going to fight, but it turned out to be nothing!" Jiang Wei complained dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, let's serve the food and let's talk after we finish the meal!" Jiang Dalang shouted loudly. He looked around and didn't see Jiang Huaixu, so he asked, "Where is Yaomei?"

Jiang Fu was helping Jiang Rong to knock off the ashes that fell on the stove. After hearing this, she immediately replied: "First cousin, second cousin and second cousin just ran out and told aunt and uncle to eat first!"

Jiang Huaixu and Jiang Erlang went to fulfill their promise.

She distributed the candies to the children in Dafeng Village one by one, and then said: "You did a good job, but you have to remember that when your family asks you where the candy comes from, you will say it was given by your brother and sister as before. Do you hear that?" "

"I heard it!" the children shouted happily.

"Next time if something happens, my sister will come to you and give you some sweets, okay?"

"Okay!"

The children giggled and ran away.

Jiang Huaixu turned around with satisfaction, "Second brother, let's go back!"

"After this time, there should be a lot less rumors." Jiang Erlang said warmly.

"Thanks to that girl named Zhou Xiaoni for sending us so many useful people."

Jiang Huaixu thought that these rumors would slowly subside over time, but who would have thought that they would intensify until the appearance of Mrs. Chai pierced the last layer of window paper.

Since it can't be stopped, it's better to add another fire and divert everyone's attention. After all, people will be destroyed for their own sake. As long as their own interests are involved, someone will naturally take the initiative to put out the fire.

"By the way, second brother, Mrs. Fang told me that a ship from the Fang family will go to Jiangnan at the end of this month, and I want to go there too."

Jiang Erlang looked stunned, "Going to Jiangnan? Who are you going with?"

"I have thought about it and went with Sister Qiao'er. I originally planned to let the village chief choose two mature men to go. But since Sister Qiao'er wants to go, it is not good to go with a man. I will save a lot of trouble by going with her. "Jiang Huaixu said.

Jiang Erlang frowned slightly, "What about your job as a doctor at Qingnang Pavilion?"

"Well, don't worry about it." Jiang Huaixu said with a smile, "I have already agreed with Shopkeeper Pei that I only get 60% of my medical fees every month, and he doesn't need to pay extra. It's not too late for him to enjoy himself. It will take about 20 days to go this time, and then I will go back to sit in the hall."

"It's okay." Jiang Erlang breathed out a breath, stopped, and said to Jiang Huaixu seriously, "This is the first time for you to go to another place alone without your family. With your mind, you don't need to worry about the second brother." Tell me, my second brother is at home looking forward to your safe return."

Jiang Huaixu nodded, "Second brother, I will bring you gifts."

The two walked into the courtyard together.

The news that Li Qiaoer was going to Jiangnan spread throughout Jiuxi Village the next day, causing many villagers to talk. Most of them were worried that a little girl who was unfamiliar with the place would be in danger.

Li Qiaoer's parents would always mention it when they met, but Li Qiaoer's parents didn't have any worry on their faces, which was completely opposite to the sad faces of the previous two days. When asked, they didn't say anything.

After a day like this, Jiang Zhengmao informed the villagers that he would be able to go to Jiangnan at the end of the month, and then told the news that Jiang Huaixu and Li Qiaoer were traveling together.

No one said anything about Li Qiaoer now. They just thought that Li Qiaoer was lucky to be selected.

The mood of the Li couple was very delicate. They had been worried after hearing the news that Li Qiaoer was going to Jiangnan. After several attempts to persuade him, they failed, and it turned into a cold war.

Last night, their daughter told them that Xu Yatou was also going. Their first reaction was that Xu Yatou could help their daughter a lot, and they felt reassured. Then I thought it was ridiculous, their daughter was much older than Xu Yatou.

Luo Shi thought about it for two or three days, thinking over and over again, and still felt that his daughter should have heard what he said that day before making such a decision. It was also the first time that she saw her daughter, who had always had a soft temperament, be so insistent, so she also gave her man some advice. The couple discussed it for most of the night, and finally accepted it.

No matter what happens in the future, their daughter will always be their daughter.
