Sang Zhixia was once a promising agricultural博士, but after a fall, she became a poor concubine forced into a substitute marriage! On her wedding day, the groom rushed into the bridal chamber an...
Chapter 316: Lest anyone look down upon our head, Mr. Sang!
Since the old man had rushed back due to a temporary change of plan, he naturally had a general idea of the situation in the village.
The old man entered the house and had a closed-door conversation with Mr. Hu, who was temporarily staying at the Xu family. He asked about Sang Zhixia's current situation, and the frost on his face eased a little.
Mr. Hu was not very nice to Xu Yu, but he was very frank in front of the old man and told the truth.
"This girl is quite resilient, not a coward. This was her first time seeing so much blood and gore, and she couldn't get over it for a while. Plus, she overworked herself and the cold wind entered her body, so she got sick. It's not serious."
After all, they are young, and no matter how poor their foundation is, they are still better than older people.
After an illness, you should take care of yourself. Once the anger has subsided, everything will be fine.
The old man hummed in an ambiguous tone.
Old Master Hu glanced outside the door and whispered, "Your granddaughter-in-law doesn't have to worry about anyone, but your eldest grandson standing outside is a difficult one."
Seeing the old man raised his eyebrows, Mr. Hu sneered: "Even though I'm sitting here, I hear a lot about what's going on outside."
"The Xu family is still keeping a low profile. If they make a big fuss without thinking about it, it won't be a good thing if they attract too much attention."
There were already rumors in the village. When Yang Dazhui and his family learned about the situation here, they felt guilty and dared not stay at home any longer. They packed their luggage and moved away from the place overnight.
Once the rumors started, they gradually became more and more detailed and it sounded like they were true.
But what kind of sharp edge is hidden under these seemingly calm words is not something that ordinary people can see through.
The old man smiled faintly upon hearing this, and said nonchalantly: "If you hide your power too much, you won't be able to scare people. If you don't intimidate people enough, you will be bullied."
"Yu'er, it's not wrong to do this."
If you keep hiding your shortcomings, others will see you as powerless and vulnerable.
If you can't even stand up straight and can't protect your own family, then what's the point of going through so much trouble?
Mr. Hu didn't expect the old man to say that. He paused, shook his head and laughed.
"Never mind, you two are both stubborn, so I didn't mention this."
"Your little girl Xia might wake up soon, so hurry up and make sure everything is done properly. Otherwise, when things finally start to get better, you'll be startled by your family's vicious behavior."
Old Master Hu clicked his tongue a few times and fell silent.
The old man said thank you and walked out.
In the yard, Xu Yu was talking to the village chief.
To be precise, it was Xu Yu who was listening to the village chief.
"Xu Yu, just follow my instructions, okay?"
The village chief sighed with deep sorrow, "I've discussed this with the villagers. We can't pin the blame on your family for the injury. Otherwise, it would be unacceptable if we investigate."
"Just tell us what we agreed on. Just say that Yang Dazhu and his men entered the village to loot and smash things, but were discovered and chased by the villagers. They ran away and don't know where they went. You don't know where they went, either. That's the best way!"
The village chief mistakenly believed that Yang Dazhu and the others were dead, and blurted out, "Anyway, there's no evidence. As long as no one in the village says anything, no one will know what happened."
"Don't worry, I've already informed everyone in the village. No matter who comes and asks, everyone will keep their mouths shut and will never cause any trouble for your family!"
According to the village chief, this is the safest way.
Yang Dazhu and his group received favors from the Xu family, but they became black-hearted and repaid their kindness with hatred. They deserved to die.
As long as we are ruthless enough to destroy the bodies of the murdered thieves and give a unified statement to the outside world.
This murderous sewage can be poured anywhere, as long as it doesn't touch Sang Zhixia, it will be a blessing from the Bodhisattva.
This was the most vicious method that an honest man who had worked diligently all his life could come up with, but Xu Yu just shook his head when he heard it.
"Village Chief, there's no need for this."
The village chief was anxious: "Why is this bad?"
"Xu Yu, don't act foolishly at this critical moment. Everything I said is for the good of your family!"
"Just do as I taught you. Even if the government comes, it won't implicate your family! Otherwise, how can you excuse yourself from the crime of murder?"
"Who said my family is guilty of murder?"
"No one killed anyone."
The village chief was surprised and asked, "But aren't Yang Dazhu and the others dead?"
"What do you mean?"
Xu Yu blinked innocently and laughed, "Village Chief, Yang Dazhu and the others are all alive. Not a single one of them is dead."
The village chief was really shocked this time.
Xu Minghui brewed some tea and brought it over. He asked the anxious village chief, who had been standing anxiously, to sit down. He put down his teacup and said with a smile, "You misunderstood."
"My sister-in-law just wanted to teach those traitors a lesson, but she didn't dare to take their lives."
"Although Yang Dazhu and the others were seriously injured, they are still alive. They are just waiting for the authorities to bring them to trial. How could they die?"
Xu Yu and Xu Minghui chatted with each other to divert the village chief's anxiety.
The village chief held the teacup in his hand and asked in a daze, "Are they all alive?"
Xu Minghui smiled and nodded: "Of course."
"Are the officials coming to arrest someone?"
The village chief was a little impatient: "But now that the government has arrived, how are we going to explain the injuries on Yang Dazhu and the others?"
"I've already asked Xu Tongsheng about this. People who haven't signed an indenture can't be harmed. If things get out of hand, it'll be bad luck!"
"Not much of a fuss."
The old man smiled faintly, walked over, sat down and said, "These people are all involved in other cases. Once they leave Luobei Village and arrive at the government office, they will inevitably have to eat a bowl of rice before being executed."
"You can't blame anyone else for your own actions."
In fact, except for the village chief and others, no one in the Xu family, big or small, took this seriously.
The Xu family was concerned about the one in the north yard, not the life and death of Yang Dazhu and others.
The village chief really didn't know about these strange things. He smacked his tongue and became even more dazed.
"This...is this really as you said, is it really going to be alright?"
The old man picked up his teacup and said with a smile: "Right and wrong, good and evil are clear at a glance, what else can be involved?"
"We appreciate everyone's kindness, but the fault isn't ours. We've done the right thing, and no one in my family is afraid of being investigated."
The unanimous calmness of the Xu family, young and old, calmed the village chief's impatience, and after much persuasion, they finally managed to get the village chief out of the house.
As soon as the outsiders left, the old man put down his teacup and lowered his eyes. "That county magistrate was deeply involved with the Wang family. He's been helping the evil and taking a lot of people's money over the years. He's not a good person. To prevent him from making trouble and causing trouble, we're going to kill him and leave some peace and quiet."
Xu Yu and Xu Minghui nodded in agreement at the same time.
Xu Minghui pursed his lips and said, "He's a county magistrate after all. I'm afraid he still needs to say hello to the Northwest Camp."
The old man sneered: "I'm afraid Chen Nianhe has already received the news. He knows what to do."
When it comes to ruthlessness, Chen Nianhe is even more ruthless than this.
Seeing Xu Yu's eyes gradually becoming sinister, the old man narrowed his eyes calmly.
"Xia's business is growing bigger and bigger, and the staff is also increasing. It's good that you don't want to interfere too much, but if you encounter obstacles, don't be afraid to get your hands dirty when you need to take action."
"Minghui, you and your eldest brother should go through everyone at the farm and the winery. If anyone seems unreliable, find a reason to kick them out. If anyone shows signs of disloyalty, deal with them accordingly."
"It just so happens that Xia Ya has been left at home to be taken care of for a while now. You can use your time to prune away any branches that you haven't noticed before."
"Don't leave any trouble for the future, so as to avoid any more trouble in the future. It will also make these people more cautious, so that no one will look down on our Sang family!"
