I became the villain's deceased wife

Previously, when Song Tian saw a large group of women sitting around chatting in the threshing ground, she thought that the reason this place was poor was because the villagers were not hardworking enough.

But when it came time to collect the mountain products, we discovered that it was not that they were not hardworking, but that they had no work to do.

This place is located in a mountainous area, and the surrounding arable land is very limited and the harvest is not good.

You can also go to the mountains to pick mushrooms early in the morning and evening.

It is now midsummer, and the strong sun at noon can melt people and dry up the mushrooms.

Some men go to work in the surrounding villages and towns, while others go hunting in the mountains.

These women who stayed at home could only sit in the shade of the threshing floor to while away their time.

After a lively mobilization, they went back home to prepare mountain products and pick out some good ones to see if they could be sold at a high price.

It was almost noon, and Li Yuansheng, as the village chief, instructed a few women to prepare meals for Yang Shucai and his group.

During this time, Song Tian played the role of a gossip expert and had a lively chat with several aunts and grandmas who were cooking.

But apart from learning that Li Dacheng was idle and loved to beat people, no more information was obtained.

After dinner, Yang Shucai said that the weather was too hot and not conducive for activities.

The time for collecting mountain products was postponed for another hour, with the aim of waiting until it was too late and they had to stay overnight.

During the break, Haoer, as a lively and active teenager, led the pioneers to sniff all the people from each family who were waiting to inspect the goods in the threshing ground.

Apart from staying with the village chief for a while longer, there was nothing unusual.

Song Tian began to doubt whether there was any point in doing this.

"Doctor Liu runs a clinic, so the only people he could offend are his patients and colleagues.

He is a humble and low-key person, and he is dedicated to his patients. This accident is probably related to his medical colleagues."

She sat next to Xie Yunzhe, feeling a little restless.

"Instead of wasting time here, why don't we go to Xiangyang Town and ask around to see if other medical clinics have any dealings with Jishengtang."

Especially the one called Cirentang, which is under the name of Huang Jiadong, is the most suspicious.

Zhang Yougui said that the evidence was conclusive, but Doctor Liu refused to defend himself.

Will the case be decided soon?

Xie Yunzhe advised her to be patient:

"I have asked Third Brother Hong to inquire about the affairs of the town. If you go there, you won't have as many connections as he does, and you will only alert the enemy.

If you want to find out the truth, Wang is the most direct breakthrough point.

Madam, please be more patient."

Song Tian also knew that his abilities were too limited. If he only had a bunch of suspicions and could not find any substantial evidence, it would be useless to say anything.

She remembered that Yang Shucai said it was the guards brought by the owner of Zuixianlou who helped last time, and she couldn't help but think of Mo Bai again.

But thinking about Lin Si's sickly appearance, he shook his head and cleared the idea.

She and the master and servant were just casual acquaintances, and their friendship was no more than that of cooking a few meals for them.

How can you let people participate in this kind of thing?

Yang Shucai was a shrewd businessman. He pretended to carefully examine every wild game sent by each family, and asked questions with great interest when he came across something he had never seen before.

It was easy to drag the time until the sun went down.

The villagers were happy because their mountain products were sold at high prices.

When he lamented that he was so focused on receiving the goods that he didn't pay attention to the time, many people kindly invited him to stay overnight at their homes.

"Okay, this is the only way."

Yang Shucai looked at the sky and said with embarrassment.

"We have only inspected the goods and have not yet settled the bills for everyone. The items also need to be sorted and put away..."

"That's right, Shopkeeper Yang, don't leave. We'll set up a banquet at the threshing ground tonight, and ask the villagers to help you organize the goods!"

The men who had gone up the mountain to hunt also came back and volunteered to help.

"Uncle, please stay here for one night.

I get along really well with the aunts, and we still have a lot to talk about.”

Song Tian cooperated and acted coquettishly.

He glanced at Wang, who was sitting in the corner with a gloomy expression.

Originally she just wanted to make more money for herself, but she didn't expect that she would end up making wedding dresses for others.

Other people in the village get much more mountain products than she does.

Fortunately, Yang Shucai promised to give her an extra tael of silver, but I don’t know whether he will keep his promise.

She sat alone in a corner all afternoon, daydreaming and not interacting with anyone.

"Woof, woof woof woof..."

The pioneer that Hao'er was holding suddenly cried out.

Song Tian and Xie Yunzhe quickly looked up.

Then a young man came towards the threshing floor and said to Li Yuansheng in a chastising tone:

"Dad, what's going on?"

Haoer quickly calmed down the manic Pioneer and walked to Song Tian with the dog leash.

"Sister-in-law, the vanguard said that there is something wrong with this person!"

Song Tian nodded, touched Hao'er's head as if to praise him, and stroked Xianfeng's dog head.

After exchanging a glance with Xie Yunzhe, they both stood up and walked towards the man.

The man was in his early twenties, not tall, slightly plump, and of below-average appearance.

He was wearing a black brocade gown and a pair of black-soled boots with cloud patterns.

Song Tian felt that the boots looked somewhat familiar.

It seemed like the standard boots that the staff of Cirentang were wearing when they saw Uncle Tieshan taking his son to seek medical treatment.

At that time, the young man kicked Uncle Tieshan mercilessly. Song Tian was standing next to him and was deeply impressed by his boots.

"really!"

She had some idea of ​​the outcome in her mind.

Xie Yunzhe tilted his head and glanced at Wang who was sitting in the corner.

When she saw the person coming, her originally dull eyes suddenly moved, and a faint light flashed in her eyes with expectation.

Then it dawned on me.

It turns out there is this layer to her relationship with the village chief!

"This is Shopkeeper Yang from the county who came to buy mountain products. Not only does he want more, but his price is also higher than at the market."

Li Yuansheng was very satisfied with today's deal.

The young man looked unhappy:

"Didn't I tell you that this period of time is special? A murder just happened in the village and the government hasn't made a final decision yet. Don't let people from other villages in!"

"My dear, I think you have misunderstood.

Yang is just a businessman. He came here to try his luck because we have a big mountain behind us, but he didn’t think too much about it.”

Yang Shucai interrupted with a smile.

"That's right, Brother En is working at the pharmacy, so please don't ignore the lives of ordinary people like us. It's not easy to find a shopkeeper who collects mountain products, so please treat him with courtesy, Brother En!"

Said the man who had previously offered to stay overnight with Shopkeeper Yang.

"Uncle Chen, you are too serious. I was just advising my father to be more cautious."

The man was a burly hunter. Li En didn't dare to offend him, so he had to explain.

"Shopkeeper Yang is well-dressed and very knowledgeable about mountain products. He must be a serious businessman."

Uncle Chen promised.

"I've asked my wife to go back and clean up the house. I'll invite you all to stay at my house tonight. I won't bother the village chief and Brother En anymore!"

He seemed to look down on Li En's behavior and was about to leave by pulling Shopkeeper Yang.

"Uncle, you collected so many mountain products today, and you must not have brought all the money to pay.

My husband and I will go back with the ox cart to get it for you."

Song Tian said at the right time.

Yang Shucai was stunned for a moment and thought that he actually had enough money.

But seeing Song Tian kept winking at him, he thought that she might have discovered something.

So he cooperated and touched his purse:

"Oh, if you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. I went out today just to try my luck, but I didn't expect to collect so many mountain products. I still need a lot."

Then he waved his hand at the two of them:

"You guys should go back quickly while it's still not too late, and you can bring it over tomorrow morning.

Anyway, I have my son-in-law with me, so I feel relieved."
