Chapter 244 Disposal

Xu Damei didn't remember Lin Xi's faults this time, and immediately followed Lin Xi's words and said, "Yes, our family should just worry about our affairs."

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Since you prefer your family to arrange it, head of the village, I think we should not worry about it. If this matter gets out today, we cannot control what gossip the villagers will have about the two children. But if we help them arrange a marriage today, it will be like we are bullying them."

Xu Damei was stunned. What did Lin Xi mean by this? What happened today would spread outside.

Lin Xi saw through Xu Damei's thoughts at a glance, "You don't think that no one in the village will know about what happened today. I'm not the only one who saw your actions in the field today. Xu Damei, you have to understand that some things will be known to others as long as you do them."

After saying that, Lin Xi looked at the head of the village again.

To be honest, although the village head looks fierce on the surface, he is still thinking about the two children.

If the village were to discuss the marriage of the two children today, even though the man might have something to say, he should at least give face to the head of the village.

But if the Xu family just waits today, there is no guarantee that the man will not come at all.

Taoli Village today is different from the past. Every household has some money, and there are many people who are willing to marry into Taoli Village from other villages.

Xu Zhuang naturally understood this truth. "Li Zheng, our Xu family has no objection to any decision made by the village."

However, the old ladies on the side were not happy. They thought that these two girls were obviously ungrateful.

"If you ask me, forget it. The girl has made good plans for her future. She wants to be the wife of a scholar. If we end up matching her with the wrong person, we will be resentful for the rest of our lives."

As soon as these words were spoken, people began to chime in, and soon all the old ladies reached a consensus.

Today we are going to teach these two girls a lesson. As for their marriages, let the Xu family worry about it. Why are they doing this?

The head of the village finally compromised and said, "In this case, let's follow your opinions. Xu Zhuang, you can take the two girls back."

Xu Zhuang's face turned pale, knowing that the two girls' future marriages might not be settled, "Li Zheng..."

The village head waved his hand and said, "In theory, marriage is always decided by the parents and the matchmaker. I don't have that right."

After saying that, he left first.

Several old ladies also left, and finally Lin Xi was left alone sitting in the hall.

Xu Xiaomei looked at Lin Xi with hatred, "Now that your goal has been achieved, be happy!"

Lin Xi glanced at Xu Xiaomei and said, "I have no grudge against you, why should you be happy about this? I am just protecting the students in the academy."

And she really dislikes women who throw themselves at men and have no self-respect at all.

Xu Zhuang took Xu Xiaomei and Xu Damei out of Lin Xi's house. The atmosphere among the three of them was particularly quiet along the way.

When they reached the door of their house, Xu Zhuang's wife was already waiting at the door. When she saw the two girls coming, she slapped them in the face and said, "I have spent all my efforts to raise you until now, just to let you go out and embarrass yourself! You are so shameless. I think I don't want this skin anymore, I might as well tear it off and feed it to the dogs!"

After saying this, the woman twisted the two maids' arms fiercely.

With their skin and flesh twisted so tightly, Xu Damei and Xu Xiaomei cried out in pain.

"Mom, we were wrong!"

"Mom, it hurts, it hurts!"

However, no matter how they cried for help, the woman pretended not to hear them.

"Why does it hurt? From now on you should just stay at home and work honestly. Don't go out!" the woman said angrily.

How could Xu Damei and Xu Xiaomei dare to say no? They could only agree obediently.

…

After Lin Xi finished dealing with the Xu family's affairs, he looked at the sky and decided that it was time to take these students back to the county.

What Lin Xi didn't expect was that after a day of labor, these students were no longer in human form, but they still had the strength to walk.

"Are you exhausted today?" Lin Xi asked.

The students said, "Madam, this farm work is so tiring. I don't think I will be able to lift my arms tomorrow."

Lin Xi smiled in her heart, this is totally unreasonable, the soreness she will feel when she wakes up tomorrow morning will be really exciting.

"You stay in the academy all day long and have no chance to come out and take a look. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to understand the words in the sage's book. In the future, the academy will try its best to create more opportunities for you to go out." Lin Xi said.

As someone who has received the current education system, she knows very well that sitting in the study every day is definitely not enough to gain a deep understanding.

"Okay, Master's Wife, it would be better if there are more opportunities in the future!"

Today, although they were tired, they also gained a lot of insights. Many things they learned from books suddenly came alive and became vivid.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back to the county."

Unlike the lively scene when they came here, when they left, the group of students were sleeping in a mess on the ox cart, and it was unclear what year it was.

When we finally returned to the school, it was Dai Laner who woke everyone up.

As for Lin Xi herself, she still had to take a carriage back to her residence in the county town. She had to toss and turn everywhere. Nanny Chang felt very distressed, "The young lady is already pregnant, so don't continue to run around. Just leave these things to others."

Lin Xi laughed at himself, "Look around me, there are only a few people who are really suitable."

Nanny Chang was speechless for a moment. If they were in the capital, they could find a few talented maids and train them slowly, but now they were not in the capital, but in the county town.

She discovered when she went to choose someone that day that it was really not easy to find someone who was capable.

But this matter cannot be delayed any longer. It is not a good thing for the young lady to be without a capable person by her side. It seems that we must find a way to contact the lady.

Before Nanny Chang's message was delivered, Xiao Yongyan, who had arrived in the capital, had already sent a message.

They have arrived in the capital. The situation in the capital seems calm now, but various forces are already entrenched, waiting to seize the opportunity to launch an attack.

As for the 20,000 taels of silver that Lin Xi gave before leaving, it played a big role, and Lin Xi's silk quilt was also liked by the Thirteenth Prince.

It was just a short letter, and Xiao Yongyan wrote it hastily, so many things were not described in detail.

But Lin Xi read the thin letter over and over again by the candlelight.

Finally, Nanny Chang couldn't stand it anymore and came over to persuade her, "Miss, it's only been a short time since your uncle left, and you miss him so much. What if he can't come back when you give birth?"

Lin Xi didn't think too much about it, "I watched it for a long time?"

As he looked out the window, it was already dark.

It seemed that since she came to this world, she had never been separated from Xiao Yongyan for such a long time.

There was a bright moon outside the window. Xiao Yongyan, who was in the capital at this moment, must have been looking at the same sky.
