After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Mr. Bai knew the situation clearly without Mother saying anything.

In the past, Dayang Village was evenly populated with poverty. Every household was poor. Although life was not easy, at least neighbors helped each other and got along well with each other.

What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality. After the Bai family became rich and bought Bai Yi, there were some rumors in the village that the Bai family had forgotten their roots and learned the ways of those wealthy families and officials, buying servants to make a living.

Although these rumors were suppressed by several villagers close to the Bai family and had no actual impact, they were inevitable that they would reappear because of this recruitment.

However, the difference this time is that Bai's father is the head of the village. Although he is a nobody in the outside world, he is still an official of some rank in the village.

It would be better for the county magistrate to take charge now!

If one is not careful, the gossiping habits of the villagers will be written down, and with a few neighbors testifying and the matter registered with the government, this person will be branded if he wants to leave the compound with the deed.

If I make any mistakes in the future and am expelled from the village, with this as evidence, no one else will be able to say anything.

Moreover, this was not something he made up out of thin air. The Bai family was just following the government's rules and regulations and did not overstep the line.

If you want to blame someone, you can only blame the other person for not being able to live their own life properly. Why do they have to stare at and discuss the population changes in other people's families?

If it were the previous Mr. Bai, he might have felt that doing so was somewhat suspected of abusing his power for personal gain, but after taking office he realized that it is difficult to control the mouths of some people unless they use their power to suppress them.

Take the case of the potato seller this time, for example. A family in the village had become rich and wanted to marry their son to a woman from the neighboring village, so they almost told others about their plan to promote potato cultivation throughout Jiangzhou Prefecture.

This is not just a trivial matter, but a major event that affects the entire economic and agricultural layout of Jiangzhou.

After all, who knows if the people in the next village don’t have relatives in the next few states?

If this were to get out, the reputation that Dayang Village had worked so hard to build up in the government office for its high grain yields would be ruined, and they might even have to bear the wrath of the matter.

He only understood these principles after Village Chief Yang explained them to him in detail when he went to the meeting today.

One should not meddle in matters that are not within his jurisdiction. Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for him to imagine that a small rumor could have such a huge impact.

This also explains why the rumors that the Bai family initially bought out Bai Yi and others were curbed so quickly. The efforts of the village chief were indispensable behind this.

No matter what the personalities of the villagers in Dayang Village are, under the long-term influence of Village Chief Yang, those who like to gossip still account for a very small minority.

Most people still obey orders, which can be seen from the initial village relocation.

Father Bai said to Mother Bai: "If you want to buy it, go ahead and buy it. I'll take care of the village affairs. Don't worry."

"If the Bai family was the only one who came before, it might seem a little out of place. But now the Jiang family will be moving in soon! He is the children's teacher, so even if he buys someone else, no one will say anything."

"With the Jiang family as an example, our family won't have much trouble."

"It just so happens that I will go to the government office with the village chief to buy a mountain tomorrow, so you can come with us. Let's go to the store and sit for a while and talk to Madam Su. I will come to find you when I am done, and we can go together to find the human traffickers."

Bai's mother had no objection to Bai's father's arrangement: "Well, it happens that I am a woman, so if I go to find a human trafficker, I won't be deceived. With a grown man like you, you can help me to keep things under control."

"You have been in the village for so long today. How is the honeycomb briquettes business?"

"Don't mention it..."

"..."

A bright jade plate hung high in the night sky outside the house.

Although it is only early summer, the moonlight tonight is as bright as that in midsummer, making Bai Qingyun's face look especially bright.

She looked up at the moonlit night sky and sighed helplessly, "Oh! Mother, how can I make you understand her situation? She can really stay single for the rest of her life!"

The meaning of lifetime is sometimes very one-sided. For other people in the Bai family, their lifetime is very short, consisting of only a few decades of passing time.

But her life... may have no definite limit.

As long as her cultivation continues to grow, the word "lifelong" will hardly be applicable to her.

If nothing unexpected happens, her current cultivation level will be enough to see Boss Bai and his children through their old age.

However... she had no intention of facing the death of the next generation. Her time in the human world would end with the death of her father and mother.

It’s no wonder that she didn’t want to wait a few more decades to see her brothers off. It’s really... death. If you experience it too many times, you will become numb to it!

Sometimes, if leaving is planned, it is not without regrets, but it comforts the soul.

In the next period of time, she wants to leave this world, even if it is in a different space, as long as it allows her to concentrate on her cultivation!

"Forget it, just accompany them well. If I can live a different life for a few decades according to mother's arrangement, it might not be bad!"

"I might as well go to the store tomorrow and take a look with my mother. It would be best if I could pick a teacher that I like, and I can save myself from the torture after class!"

Bai Qingyun looked at the night sky and the occasional sounds of animal hooves coming from the distant mountains, and his mood suddenly became more cheerful. He no longer understood his mother's arrangements from a single self-perspective.

She always understood Bai's mother's good intentions, but she just lacked an opportunity to accept them!

Her mood changed, and her pace went from slow pacing to faster and faster walking. The distance that originally took her some time to walk was reached in no time at all.

After spending a long time in the yard of Bai's father and mother, the morning class in the martial arts training ground was almost over.

Bai Yi knew that everyone was punished today, so she didn't teach too hard tonight so that everyone could have enough rest and fully focus on the next day's class.

Therefore, when Bai Qingyun returned to the courtyard, Xie Shuer and Xiao Yan were already sitting in the courtyard in their martial arts uniforms taking a rest.

There are several lanterns hanging high under the eaves in the courtyard. Xie Shuer is very deft and can even make the lanterns into several different animal shapes. In the dark night, they are like animals sprinkled with fluorescent powder, guarding this quiet and peaceful courtyard.

Xie Shu'er recognized the figure in front of the stone archway by the flickering light of the lantern. She quickly put down the embroidery in her hand and came forward, asking with concern, "Yun'er, how is it? Have you finished the embroidery?"

Bai Qingyun smiled as usual, and there was nothing unusual in his expression. He was just a little slow in answering: "It's... done, I guess!"
