In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner

The elders of the tribe were also extremely shocked.

Unexpectedly, the constable came to arrest someone for such a small matter.

They all had stern faces and looked ferocious, which made those who were already feeling guilty not dare to step forward to stop them.

They just watched helplessly as the constables locked up the elderly, the weak, the women and the children of the Li family, leaving behind only a child who was only four or five years old.

He Qiudi glanced calmly at Yang Liu who had arrived at the He family courtyard with the constable.

Yang Liu is a taciturn guard with a low presence.

He followed the detectives back and didn't even notice anything.

The constables came to Shiliu Village and took the man away.

Everyone was stunned for a moment. After they reacted, the village head picked out a young man from the onlookers and asked him to notify the sons of the Li family.

At the same time, he urged Mr. He to stop the people.

Old Master He smoked a cigarette and said, "The He family didn't report to the police. I don't know who did. If I were to stop them, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of those detectives? Although my Huai Zhang is an official, he is a low-ranking teacher and has no say in front of the county magistrate. The detectives came to the He family and took people away, which must have alarmed the county magistrate. If I stop them now, wouldn't that make the county magistrate unhappy?"

The head of the village and the elders looked embarrassed.

Everyone knows that what Mr. He said was just an excuse.

No one from the He family went to report to the police.

He Huaizhang and He Huaian are still on their way to Kuncheng and have not returned yet.

Then it can only be someone at the banquet.

The only person who could make the county magistrate send constables to the He family to arrest people so quickly was the county magistrate, Lord Yanshi.

The head of the village is also a smart man. He knows that what happened today is that Lord Yanshi wants to support the He family.

It was their unclear attitude that annoyed the He family.

We must let the He family vent their anger during the banquet.

They can only endure it.

After Mr. He finished smoking, the village head and several elders started talking to him.

When we talk this time, we need to be much more humble.

Basically, no matter what, Pomegranate Village is an integrated whole.

The He family had a teacher, who was the head of Shiliu Village. From then on, Shiliu Village would follow the ideas of the He family.

These are just polite words, the He family won't believe them easily.

After all, the He family used to have a high status in Shiliu Village. Now that the He family has become prosperous, the Li family came to the He family to make trouble, and the village head and the elders were hesitant. It was clear that they were using the Li family to embarrass the He family.

But the Li family’s affairs also need to be resolved.

So, after the village head and the elders expressed their opinions.

Several sons of the Li family were called to the He family to apologize to the He family and promised that they would not cause trouble again in the future.

Mr. He had no choice but to go to the city with the village head to explain to the people in the county government that it was all a misunderstanding.

I hope all the elderly, weak, women and children in the Li family can be released.

The constable said that this was a case that the county lieutenant had ordered to be investigated strictly.

According to the confessions of those women and children, they deliberately caused trouble and were suspected of extortion. The amount involved exceeded ten taels of silver, which was a relatively serious case.

Those involved in the case need to be severely punished.

Especially now that Ningyuan County is in a special period, they must be punished more severely. Considering that they are a group of old, weak, women and children, the men of the Li family are needed to come to the county government as guarantors and do one month's labor for each of them, which is to repair the city wall.

Originally.

There were eight of them in total, and their total corvée labor was eight months. Adding to the corvée labor that the Li family already had, the total amounted to twelve months.

Originally, they had to reclaim land in winter.

At this moment, their already poor family was even worse off.

The people were brought back together.

But the result was enough to shock everyone.

In Shiliu Village, the rest of the people who were watching and wanted to gain benefits from the He family suppressed their eager thoughts.

Everyone in the He family has different thoughts.

It was obvious that Yan Shi stepped in to help the He family in this crisis.

Old Mrs. He felt very relieved and relaxed.

I still cared about Qiudi during the banquet.

What the future holds will depend on how far the He family can go in the next three years.

He Qingshu asked Wei Sixian worriedly.

"Mother, Yan Shi treats my aunt so well, do I really still have a chance?"

Wei Sixian took He Qingshu's hand and patted it, saying, "Don't give up until the last minute. Your second uncle and third uncle will be back from Kuncheng in the evening. Tomorrow the He family will start the autumn harvest. In a few days, we will find a reason to go back to Wei County to make soap. We will try to make money as soon as possible and find a proper official position for your father. As long as your father gets a proper position, you will have a better chance."

"it is good."

in the afternoon.

He Huaiping and He Huaian returned from Kuncheng.

This trip lasted eight days and seven nights.

long time.

Fortunately, the soaps and perfumed soaps I brought to Kuncheng have been sold out.

Kuncheng is larger and more prosperous than Licheng, and has greater market demand.

He Huaian has already made an agreement with the business in Kuncheng that he will go to Kuncheng to deliver goods after the autumn harvest.

This time when he went to Kuncheng, in addition to selling soap and perfumed soap, He Huaian also bought a lot of goods for the He family grocery store, and bought many spices, dyes and marinades that He Qiudi wanted to buy.

In terms of quality, they are better than those bought in Licheng.

Although Shiliu Village is far away from Kuncheng and delivering goods is inconvenient, as long as the market can be opened up and they can find caravans or escort companies to deliver goods in the future, the He family can make a lot of money.

Once soap and perfumed soap can be sold in Kuncheng, the markets in other counties and cities in Yongning Prefecture will naturally be opened up.

By then, the He family's soap and perfumed soap business would not only make a fortune every day, but after deducting costs and labor costs, it would be no problem for them to earn four or five hundred taels of silver a month.

Thinking of so much money, the main members of the He family were full of enthusiasm.

He Huaian also discussed sales strategies with He Qiudi for a long time.

He Huaizhang wanted to intervene, but was rebuked by He Huaian.

Anyway, the first wife has already lost all credibility with He Huaian because of what she has done over the years.

When the eldest wife was living a good life, she didn't think about them.

They make money from soap now, and in the future, they will not be able to bring the eldest wife's family to enjoy the good life.

He Huaizhang even went to Old Lady He to complain about his misery, hoping that Old Lady He would force He Huaian to take him with her to get rich.

Old Mrs. He subconsciously wanted to plead for He Huaizhang.

But then she thought about how He Huaian and He Huaiping had been harboring resentment for more than ten years because of her favoritism towards He Huaizhang, so she had no choice but to give up.

He said to He Huaizhang: "Big brother, there is already a rift between you brothers. You know the reason. If I intervene and force Huai'an and Huaiping to accept you, they may not say anything on the surface, but they will definitely not be happy to accept you in their hearts. If you want your brothers to forgive you, it depends on your sincerity."

sincerity?

He must bow his head and apologize to the second and third brothers before he can gain their forgiveness and acceptance.

He is the eldest brother.

The eldest brother is like a father.

He Huaizhang couldn't bring himself to do that.

He just didn't believe that the He family, after becoming rich, could bypass him, the eldest brother who worked as a teacher in the government!
