"General, I truly knew nothing about this!"

"And that day Hao Lizheng said he harmed people because of me, he was definitely trying to shift the blame. I, I have never harmed anyone."

When he brought this up, the village chief suddenly remembered what happened that day as well.

Before General Cui could speak, the village chief anxiously asked, "Why was Brother Chunde suddenly transferred?"

Before they came to Anping Village, he had just exchanged letters with Lin Chunde, who was then serving as an official in Anping Village.

How could he have been suddenly transferred away in just over four months?

The village chief felt that Wang Youcai was definitely involved in this matter, especially since Hao Lizheng had said before his death that "Wang Youcai was unwilling to be subordinate to Lin Chunde!"

Wang Youcai could tell that the village chief was afraid he would misunderstand him.

He quickly explained…

It turns out that there had been a suicide in Anping Village four months ago, but it was rare at that time.

It's just the beginning.

However, in the following month, the number of suicides among villagers in Anping Village suddenly surged, and Lin Chunde was extremely anxious but could not find the cause.

Many villagers even relocated from their original village.

The prefect was also anxious and sent people to help investigate, but to no avail.

Even if it comes to nothing, the prefect still has to report it.

If something is reported, someone has to take the blame.

The person who naturally took the blame became Lin Chunde, the village head.

Lin Chunde knew that he had failed to manage the village well and had caused such a major incident, so he was afraid he would be transferred.

But he still missed the village.

Even if he is transferred, he must find someone capable of getting things done to take over.

He thought about it for a long time and decided that Wang Youcai was a good candidate.

Lin Chunde and Wang Youcai have been friends for many years. When Anping Village first started cultivating black fungus, it was Wang Youcai who first found the cultivation techniques.

However, because Lin Chunde was the village head, most people praised him, and very few people praised Wang Youcai.

Wang Youcai felt somewhat resentful.

Although he felt resentful, he never thought of killing Lin Chunde; in fact, he worked even harder to study the techniques of cultivating wood ear mushrooms.

All they want is to be flattered.

You could say he's someone who's obsessed with saving face, but at the same time, he's also someone who can get things done.

Because he enjoys being flattered, he will do everything in his power to help anyone who asks for his help!

Lin Chunde thought that making him the village head would be a good idea!

Therefore, it was Lin Chunde who personally promoted Wang Youcai to the position of village head.

Before leaving, Lin Chunde repeatedly instructed Wang Youcai not to let the villagers of Qingshan Village enter the village, because he was worried that Qingshan Village would also be harmed.

Wang Youcai agreed to Lin Chunde's request.

That's why Wang Youcai tried to stop the village chief from bringing the villagers to Anping Village!

As Wang Youcai spoke, he took a letter out of his shirt pocket and handed it to the village chief.

"This is a letter I just received this morning. It was written by Brother Chunde. He said they have successfully arrived in Yifeng City."

"And they even asked about you in the letter!"

To be honest, the village chief didn't really believe Wang Youcai's words; it felt like Wang Youcai was trying to whitewash himself.

But then they found another letter…

He quickly took it.

The village chief and Lin Chunde exchanged letters many times.

Therefore, he knew Lin Chunde's handwriting very well, as well as Lin Chunde's writing habits.

Lin Chunde's handwriting was neat, but after writing six characters, he would put a very small dot next to the last character.

How small is a dot?

So small that you wouldn't even notice it if you didn't look closely.

But if you look closely...

The village chief's hands began to tremble without him realizing it.

He carefully counted each word and meticulously searched for each dot.

"It matches up, it matches up..."

He suddenly spoke excitedly, his already aged voice hoarse, and tears streamed down his face.

"This is a letter from Brother Chunde!"

As the village chief spoke, he looked at Wang Youcai across from him and suddenly realized that they had all misunderstood Wang Youcai!

Now…

The village chief was the type to admit his mistakes, and immediately wanted to apologize to Wang Youcai.

But Wang Youcai, who had been looking at him, suddenly turned to General Cui and said, "General, you see, I didn't lie!"

"I...I'm truly innocent!"

village head…

To be honest, I feel like I don't want to talk to Wang Youcai anymore!

General Cui was not deaf; he understood the reason.

She gave Wang Youcai a disdainful look, telling him to get out, not wanting to listen to his babbling anymore!

Unfortunately, Wang Youcai didn't understand.

Seeing that General Cui was not speaking, he thought that General Cui did not believe him, so he reached out and grabbed the village chief, hoping that he would help him say something.

The village chief was surprised when the man pulled him, and was almost pulled down by him.

Fortunately, Tian Laosi helped him up in time.

General Cui was truly speechless, but he didn't want to waste words with Wang Youcai, so he gave Yang Qiuci a look.

Yang Qiuci was very clever and immediately understood General Cui's meaning. She came over and pulled Wang Youcai outside.

After that annoying Wang Youcai left, General Cui reminded everyone to be careful recently, and then hurried back to the city.

After the new prefect took Hao Lizheng's family away last time, General Cui hadn't had time to inquire about the situation.

Today, another Zhao Bing has appeared; he must go back and ask him about it.

But when he reached the entrance of Anping Village, he remembered something and ordered all his personal guards to stay behind while he went back.

It was already close to evening.

The Tian family had finished tilling all their land, and the family members had all returned to prepare dinner.

After returning with her grandmother, Tian Guoguo re-bandaged and changed her father's dressing, and is now taking her own pulse.

Since transmigrating, she has been busy treating her family's illnesses and hasn't even had time to fix her own dilapidated car.

I finally have some free time, so I should take a look at this.

For some reason, although her rickety little car body had many problems, her pulse was perfectly normal.

Having received special training since childhood, she does not have the problem of a doctor being unable to heal herself.

So, why is that?

Just then, Wen came from the kitchen and called the father and son to eat.

Tian Guoguo was indeed a little hungry. She opened her little paws to her mother, wanting a hug, and then began to eat dinner.

There's not much food left at home.

During the meal, Old Lady Tian took out a few pieces of silver from her pocket and gave them to the second son, telling him to go to the city with the fourth son to buy some the next day.

She also mentioned the shopping list.

He also needed to buy some eggs and a few hens to raise and eat.

Finally, he added, "Buy some snacks for the children, and after you're done, don't linger in the city, go home right away!"

This is because they're afraid they'll be bullied if they run into Boss Tian!

The two readily agreed.

Tian Guoguo slept with her grandma as usual tonight. When she heard her grandma say she was going to buy a chicken while eating, she really wanted to tell her grandma not to buy it.

She has a lot of chickens in her online space.

But her family is all there, how can she call out?

Then I could only secretly take a few eggs from my spatial storage and give them to my grandma before going to bed.

As soon as Grandma Tian climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), her granddaughter stuffed several round objects into her arms. She picked them up in surprise to take a look.

By the dim light of the oil lamp, she could see that this was actually…

"egg?"

She cried out instinctively.

But after shouting, he quickly stuffed the egg back into his arms, pulled Guoguo to his side, and tightly shut his mouth while looking around.

Just like when Guoguo gave her a hamburger during their escape from famine, she looked exactly the same!

Tian Guoguo felt a warm glow in her heart.
