Only this green, not disappointing the spring

There is no countryman who is not afraid of the officials.

They are all ignorant villagers. Their legs tremble when they see the yamen runners when they enter the city. How can they have the courage to go to the judge?

Old man Zhou thought that this girl must have been possessed by evil spirits. What does "grass meets human life" mean? Where did she learn this weird word?

"Little Xi, don't talk nonsense. Your uncle is a silent man. How dare he go to the county government to file a complaint? We farmers are the most looked down upon. How can those nobles listen to what we say?"

Zhou Xiaoxi was a little embarrassed. She only thought that her uncle was the eldest in the family, but forgot that the smartest person in the family was her second uncle Zhou Hu.

Without showing any sign of it, Zhou Xiaoxi patiently explained,

"If the eldest uncle is useless, the second uncle will be okay. The second uncle is the smartest one in our Zhou family. Grandfather, going to the city to file a complaint is just a pretext to threaten the head of the village. As long as the second uncle can let the villagers see him leaving the village, the matter will be half done."

"As for the rest, tell me all in one breath, don't waste time. I'm in such a state of anxiety that I can't stand your constant tormenting!"

Zhou Xiaoxi resisted the urge to roll his eyes and complained in his heart: It's obviously you who are timid and afraid of trouble, and you keep interrupting me.

"For the lives of more than ten people in our Zhou family, Grandfather, you must use all your tricks to force the head of the village to compromise. Second uncle's going to the city is the biggest bargaining chip to threaten the head of the village."

"In addition, when the eldest uncle takes Old Man Liu's donkey cart to look for the second uncle, it means that the village head has compromised. The second uncle needs to persuade the doctor who treated my father in advance. Invite him to come to our village. Only by letting the doctor come forward to testify can the rumors about my father be truly dispelled. But——"

Zhou Xiaoxi paused for a moment, staring at Old Man Zhou with sharp eyes.

"Grandfather, you have to pay."

Automatically ignoring Old Man Zhou's wide-open eyes, Zhou Xiaoxi continued:

"In order to treat my father's illness, the family only has a dozen copper coins left, and we are almost selling everything we have. If you don't help us at this time, you are forcing us to death. The doctors in this city will not testify for us for nothing, and it is only right to pay them."

This little bitch is threatening him again!

Old man Zhou gnashed his teeth in anger, but he could do nothing.

Although he was not very close to the third son, he was his own son after all. If he could help the third son's family escape this disaster, he could not just ignore it.

After much thought, I had no choice but to accept it.

After a battle of wits and courage with Old Man Zhou, it was already midnight.

Seeing her eldest sister's tired face, Li suppressed her doubts and curiosity, and quietly took her daughter back home.

The old man went out with them, and he had to go and discuss the matter with the eldest and the second oldest.

Other people in the family also know something about this to avoid any mistakes.

If all the previous efforts were wasted, he dared not think about the consequences. He was not afraid of that girl, and when this matter was over, he would see how he would deal with these women!

……

In order to have enough energy to face the battle on the next day, Zhou Xiaoxi forced himself to go to bed. But as soon as the sun rose, he could no longer fall asleep.

Although her mental age was already over 30, she had never experienced such a life-and-death moment in her previous life.

Even in the college entrance examination, you won’t lose your life if you don’t do well on the test. It is completely different from the current situation.

In the afternoon, Zhou Xiaoxi, who was sweeping the yard, suddenly heard a noise.

She quickly threw away the broom and lay down at the door to eavesdrop.

She seemed to vaguely hear words like "village head" and "Zhou Jun", and she was sure that her grandfather had kept his promise.

Her threats to her grandfather last night were actually a mixture of truth and lies.

No matter how ignorant the villagers were, they would not dare to burn to death more than a dozen members of the Zhou family. If they really had the guts to do that, the people of Huaihua Village would not be farmers, but ferocious bandits!

The reason why she was able to scare Old Man Zhou was all because of her fearlessness and ruthlessness.

At the same time, she also took advantage of Old Man Zhou's guilty conscience.

Ten years ago, Old Man Zhou witnessed the horrific scene of Zhou Changkuan's family with his own eyes.

The man holding the torch had bloodshot eyes, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.

What if the villagers believed the rumors and really wanted to burn them to death? He didn't dare to gamble, so he could only go all out.

Zhou Xiaoxi cannot show up now, otherwise it would be bad if everyone ran away as soon as they saw her.

The audience has all left, why are they still making such a fuss!

If things had gone according to plan, the doctor from the city should have gone to the headman's house by now.

I hope so. Zhou Xiaoxi folded his hands and prayed devoutly to God:

God, immortal, I don't know how to address you, I'm sorry. Since you allowed me to travel to this different time and space, it's not good for the story to end before it even begins! Please, please bless me for everything to go well today!

If this matter can be resolved smoothly, when I become rich, I will definitely donate a huge sum of money to build a golden statue for you, to ensure that the incense will continue to burn! Zhou Xiaoxi swore silently in her heart.

Unexpectedly, his words came true.

About half an hour later, someone knocked on Zhou Xiaoxi's door.

"Xiaoxi, I'm your uncle, please open the door."

Zhou Fu was very reluctant to come to the third brother's house, but he was even more afraid of his father getting angry.

But people in the village had rumors that his third brother was suffering from a strange illness and was possessed by an evil spirit, and he was scared.

His father is really partial, why doesn't he let the second son come over? It's obvious that he is the one who does the most work at his father's house on weekdays, and the second son is always sneaky!

Hearing the sound of the door bolt being pulled open, Zhou Fu immediately suppressed his angry expression.

He couldn't help but take a few steps back, and kept comforting himself in his heart, "There's nothing to be afraid of. Even if there is any evil spirit, it wouldn't dare to come out in broad daylight."

He reached his left hand into his sleeve pocket and touched several times the small piece of peach wood that his wife had stuffed into his pocket. He then looked up at the setting sun and felt a little relieved.

At this time, Li had also walked to the door and asked coldly, "Brother, what do you want from us?"

"Well, sister-in-law, Dad and the others are at the headman's house. I'm here to ask you to go over to discuss something. I can't explain the details, you will know when you get there."

Zhou Xiaoxi felt very disgusted when he saw Zhou Fu's behavior.

Her uncle, although the eldest son in the family, is extremely stupid.

On the surface, he looks honest, but in reality, he is cowardly and selfish. He can neither support the family affairs nor be happy with others stealing the limelight from him, the eldest son of the Zhou family.

Because the two houses were relatively close to each other, his uncle's family would come to his house from time to time to take advantage of them. Zhou Jun was a generous person and never cared about it.

I remember one time Xiaoxi went to see her eldest cousin for something, and happened to see the family eating something delicious. Maybe he was too focused on eating and didn't hear her greeting.

By the time she noticed who was coming, she had already walked into the yard. She happened to see them hurriedly stuffing things into the cupboard, without even having time to wipe the crumbs from the corners of their mouths.

Tsk, that scene is so disgusting to watch when I think back on it now.

Holding Li's hand tightly, Zhou Xiaoxi comforted her gently.

"Mom, don't be afraid. I'll take care of everything. As long as you stay by my side, this will probably be okay. Don't worry."
