Everyone stared blankly at the receding backs of the Lin family members. Only after they disappeared from sight did someone in the silent crowd speak.

"What Master Lin meant just now is that after this planting of peppers in our village, we should not plant them anymore in the future?"

"They said they would only harvest the peppers from this season, and not the ones they planted next time... Oh... This is really annoying everyone..."

"It's all Wang Daniu and Wang Luo's fault for causing trouble for all of us..."

"That's right... Village chief, why don't you help plead with the Lin family's master? Don't you often visit their family? You even went to drink at the housewarming party before."

Except for some people who went out to visit relatives or to the county town, all the villagers of Lanshan Village were here. They all had bitter faces and looked at the village chief Wang Youzhi eagerly.

Wang Youzhi glanced at the villagers, his face somewhat displeased, and snorted, "Are you anxious now? I told you before not to gossip about others behind their backs and not to offend the Lin family, but did you listen?"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He pointed at everyone and scolded them, his voice getting louder and louder.

"Do you really think the Lin family needs your little pepper? They just want to help everyone out.

But what about you? You either gossip about others behind their backs or watch them laugh at you. Wang Luo, you guys still dare to say that they are cruel. Who do you think you are? Do you remember the kindness of others? One by one, don't blame others for calling you ungrateful people! "

“Also, let me tell you, the young master of the Lin family is currently studying in the county town. He is going to take the imperial examinations in the future. The eldest son of the Lin family is even working in the Zhenhai Division!

Go out and ask around, are the three big families in the county all polite to the Lin family? Even the magistrate of our Sishui County calls the old master of the Lin family "uncle"!

It is a blessing for our Lanshan Village that the Lin family can settle down in Lanshan Village! With the Lin family here, who in the nearby villages dares to look down on us? Just take the matter of peppers, who in the nearby villages is not jealous?

But what about now? Just because you are from the same village, they are just a little more friendly to you, and you really think you are so great? You dare to point fingers at others. You should be thankful that the Lin family can still harvest the peppers you are planting now, otherwise you will cry!"

"Cough cough..."

Perhaps he spoke too hastily, Wang Youzhi coughed several times. After he recovered, he looked at the villagers who lowered their heads and blushed, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "The Lin family doesn't owe you anything. It's really everyone's fault this time. Don't hold a grudge against them in your heart. Be more polite to them in the future."

"Village Chief, we understand..."

The villagers were scolded until their faces turned red and they responded weakly.

After hearing what the village chief said, they really regretted it. If they had stopped the rumor in time when it first came out, instead of secretly watching the show behind the scenes, perhaps things would not have turned out like this.

You know, the annual harvest of chili peppers can make them earn two or three taels of silver. They regretted it so much just thinking about it.

It's all Wang Daniu, Wang Luo, Zhao Xiumei and others' fault. If it weren't for them, the Lin family wouldn't have been so angry...

The ones who regretted the most were Wang Luo, Wang Xiaoshan, Wang Sanhuo, Luo Dahua and others. When they thought about the chaos in their homes and the villagers' gossip behind their backs, they regretted it so much that they wanted to slap themselves in the face.

It's true that one doesn't feel the pain until the stick hits oneself. Only now do they understand why the Lin family is so angry.

Of course, there were also some people in the crowd who hated the Lin family, such as the fourth uncle who lowered his head with hatred, and Sun who covered her bruised face...

The sun had already risen to the top of the head. Wang Youzhi looked at the villagers with different expressions and said in a deep voice: "Okay, now that things have come to this, everyone should remember this lesson! Also, you women should stop gossiping about others behind their backs every day. Be more virtuous!"

"Okay, let's all go! It's noon, and the kids are hungry!"

Wang Youzhi waved his hand, turned around and left with his family without hesitation. Just looking at these people gave him a headache, so he had to go back and relax.

The villagers who were still there looked at each other, and after a while, they dispersed in groups of three or two.

Some of the women couldn't help but glance at Wang Luo and the others, but when they thought of what the village chief had just said, they quickly put away their gossiping eyes and hurried home with their children. They still had to cook for the men and women at home.

At the Lin family's house, the dining table in the flower hall was filled with sumptuous meals. Lin An warmly invited Zhao Xiuyin and her family to sit down.

"Aunt Lianhua, let Qinghe help you hold Niu Niu. You eat first." Lin Shuyue placed a bowl of old duck and abalone soup in front of Lianhua who was holding Niu Niu.

Aunt Lianhua held Niuniu in her arms and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay. She can eat even if I hold her. There's no need to trouble Qinghe."

Qing He behind her was very considerate and stepped forward, bending down to tease Niuniu, saying in a crisp voice: "Auntie, it's not a trouble at all, Niuniu, let Sister Qing He hug you, the young lady specially asked the kitchen to make vegetable and pork rib porridge and egg custard for you, sister will feed you porridge..."

"Ah...ah..."

Niu Niu grinned, and her crystal saliva fell directly on Aunt Lianhua's hand, revealing two newly grown little teeth, and her two chubby white hands stretched out towards Qinghe.

Seeing her daughter like this, Lianhua laughed and patted her plump butt, "You little greedy cat!"

After saying that, he handed Niuniu to Qinghe, "Okay, then I'll trouble Qinghe."

"Come on, come on, eat some food. Our two families haven't gotten together for a while." Lin An greeted everyone with a smile.

Zhao Xiuyin and others were not shy either, and the two families had a happy lunch together.

After lunch, Zhao Xiuyin touched the hand of Niuniu, who had fallen asleep after eating and drinking, and asked hesitantly: "Anzi, are you and Runiang okay?"

Lin An smiled and shook his head. He knew that Aunt Xiuyin was worried about him and the child's mother, so he explained, "Aunt, don't worry. Runiang and I are fine. She will probably return to the village tomorrow."

Zhao Xiuyin breathed a sigh of relief, and then reminded: "That's good, nothing is more important than a family living in harmony and happiness.

Also, if there is anything, please inform us at any time. It is not appropriate for you to be involved in a quarrel with a woman like today, so just come to me. I am not afraid of those gossipy women."

Different from the harmonious and harmonious Lin family, the other villagers in Lanshan Village had an uneasy late lunch. The homes of Wang Luo, Luo Dahua and others were in chaos.

The Lanshan Village, which used to be quiet and peaceful, was now filled with adults' roars, complaints, quarrels, and children's cries...

It’s so lively in the middle of the day!
