Two bailiffs who were hiding behind the door and laughing secretly stepped forward immediately.

"He openly insulted me. Take him away and give him twenty lashes!"

Jia Fugui was so angry that he said, "If you have the guts, beat me to death!"

The two yamen runners looked at each other in bewilderment. Isn't this just a personal vendetta? They only cursed your name, not your title!

Magistrate Zhang thought of something and waved his hand, "Drag him out and give him ten lashes to serve as a warning to others!"

The two yamen runners had no choice but to drag the man out.

Jia Fugui's curses and wails echoed throughout the courtyard.

Finally, two kind-hearted yamen runners sent the man back to the Jia Mansion.

The three of them were stunned. How could things turn out like this after just a short while outside?

"Wuwuwu... Master, what's wrong with you?" Yue Niang was frightened.

Master Jia looked at the housekeeper and said, "Give these two officers two taels of silver!"

He lay on the bed and looked at his crying wife, feeling very aggrieved. "Madam, don't listen to Zhang Dahu's nonsense in the future. He is a mean man who just wants us to quarrel.

He was furious about what happened back then, and today, when I confronted him about it, he resorted to personal vendettas!"

Yue Niang paused in her tears, "He beat me?"

"Alas... Madam, we have been married for twenty years, and you actually don't trust me! I am deeply heartbroken that you trust an outsider!"

Yue Niang muttered softly, "But what he said was very convincing, and I also asked the servants. You even went to that village in person and served them for that vegetable..."

Mr. Jia decided to clear up the misunderstanding, otherwise there would be no peace in his family.

"Madam, if you don't know, Sister Tang has a close relationship with Master Li, and Master Li is no ordinary person! I want to pave the way for my sons!"

Yue Niang frowned. "How did she, a woman who fled from famine, get involved with Mr. Li? Besides, why bother going so far? Brother Zhang is already the county magistrate..."

When Mr. Jia heard her say this, he was furious and subconsciously stood up suddenly. The wound hurt so much that he couldn't help but gasp.

"Oh... Master, don't move!"

"You're being too soft-hearted! You're going to piss me off to death! Not to mention that he already hates me, but he's only an acting county magistrate. Who knows, a new one, appointed by the imperial court, might arrive someday!"

Yue Niang murmured softly: "That shouldn't be the case, right?"

Jia Fugui took a deep breath and said harshly: "I only have one thing to say, even if he becomes a county magistrate, with his character, he can only be a county magistrate in his lifetime!

If you care about your sons' future, don't contact him anymore. Otherwise, just go with him!"

Yue Niang stood up in disbelief. "I'm not doing this for my sons, you're talking so high-soundingly...

You actually want to divorce me for that woman? Jia Fugui, don't go too far. What's so good about that vixen?"

Mr. Jia was extremely disappointed. He had worked hard for so many years just to give his family a good living condition!

I never thought that Yue Niang was protected too well by me and could not see through all this.

He waved his hands: "That didn't happen at all. Don't try to destroy my innocence. Get out...get out!"

Yue Niang was so angry that she punched him on the butt. Seeing that Mr. Jia was grimacing in pain, she left.

Master Jia: Women have the most vicious hearts!

The butler was waiting outside the door, hesitant to speak.

"Pah!" "Like master, like servant! Humph..."

Butler: Why am I always the one who gets hurt?

Tang Youyou, who was in a meeting, naturally didn't know this.

"We sold a total of one thousand taels, which we divided among ourselves. We can grow and eat these vegetables ourselves, but we can't sell them!"

As soon as she announced this, the villagers' faces turned pale.

"Aunt, we can't take this money! This skill originally belongs to you!"

"What a shame, such a good way to make money is gone, ah..."

"As long as there is green mountain, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood. Have you forgotten the hall lying on the bed?"

"Sister, we can't accept this money, but it's already great that we can eat this dish in the future!"

Most people were against dividing the money equally.

Tang Youyou raised her eyebrows. This was something she had never expected.

The village chief also advised: "Niece, everyone is right. We can't accept this money. Please don't refuse it!"

"Alright, fifty taels for the hall's health care. All five greenhouses here will be cleaned up today and paved with blue bricks. One will be used for daily meetings, and the other four will be used as classrooms! I'll pay for this!"

Everyone was so surprised that they were stunned.

"Auntie, you...you mean the classroom?"

"That's right, clean it up and use it for the kids' studies after the New Year!"

The village chief's eyes were a little cloudy, and he fell to his knees with a plop.

"Thank you, niece!"

The villagers followed suit and knelt down, expressing their gratitude to her in tears.

Tang Youyou quickly helped the village chief up: "Uncle Liu, you are trying to shorten my life!"

"Niece, you are the benefactor of our entire village!"

Tang Youyou shook her head. What happened last night made her shudder. The other party dared to break into the village and hurt people without restraint, simply because they had no background.

If there were a few scholars in the village, would the other party be afraid?

Suddenly I remembered what Li said about changing the family's residence. For farmers, it was like a fairy tale and a fool's dream!

Master Lin had once privately told him that Xiaoshan was clever and eager to learn, and that he could be trained with much emphasis. Although Xiaosi was young, he was very good at reading people's expressions and was also suitable for a career in government.

If all the children in the village can go to school, my family will not stand out from the crowd.

Moreover, if there are one or two people with decent qualifications in the village, they can support the two children.

This matter is nothing more than spending some money, which can be said to be a hundred benefits with no harm.

"Now that the recipe has been sold, everyone must keep their mouths shut about what happened last night! Now, pick the vegetables and put them in order!"

When everyone heard this, although they didn't know why she was so anxious, they chose to trust her unconditionally and got busy.

Yu was now in a state of confusion: "Youyou, the eggplants have already blossomed, what a pity! And your favorite lungwort has sprouted too!"

She laughed dumbly, "Sister-in-law Yu, compared to your life, these are all trivial matters. Just shovel them all away!"

Yu sighed, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go dig up some lungwort and dry it into dried vegetables!"

Tang Youyou swallowed, "Sister-in-law Yu, dig more and come to my house for dinner tonight!"

Everyone's mood here was up and down, while the other side was ecstatic.

"Are you sure?" Wang Buer was very excited, as if he saw many silver ingots waving at him.

Butler Zhao's face was full of smiles. "Master, I went there myself and saw someone guarding the village entrance! An old friend of mine told me that this is indeed the case!"

He continued cautiously, "To be on the safe side, I spent another two hundred taels to have an expert go to the village, and it's confirmed!"

Wang Buer waved his hand, "It's just two hundred taels, no big deal! Now that this is confirmed, Zui Xiang Lou can just wait to close down."
