Chapter 60 She is not a saint

I told the whole story crying.

Old Man Wang’s expression grew even darker.

"You mean, none of the villagers who were watching came out to help us catch those two brats?"

"Yes! They've all been blinded by Jiang's money! That bastard Erbao is so proud of himself. He ripped off the roofs of two of our houses and only paid seven coins as compensation. No one helped him. I offered five eggs to invite people but couldn't get them to work. They're all afraid that Jiang won't want their family to work anymore. Old man, the people in Wangjia Village are snobbish and lawless..."

Halfway through crying, she asked Old Man Wang and the others, "How was your tree-cutting in the mountains? Why are your clothes torn? And your face is injured?"

you do not say.

Old Man Wang and Old Man Wang II were beaten so badly that their noses and eyes were swollen. Their grandchildren were also in tatters, as if they had rolled out of a bush.

It's as embarrassing as it can be.

Old man Wang looked grim.

Wulang was still quick-witted and quickly recounted what happened on the mountain.

Mrs. Wang Liu's mournful expression paused, and everyone in the Wang family looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not expected things to get to this point.

"Oh, what should I do?"

The second son's wife is more clever.

"Dad, Mom, I think the village head won't let this go. He'll definitely bring people to our house. They're all angry, and it's inevitable that they'll say something unpleasant. How about you, Dad, Mom, and the head of the family, go hide with my younger sister in town and avoid the limelight. After this is over and everyone has calmed down, you can come back. What do you think?"

Wang Lao Er asked, "What about you? You and the children?"

The second son's wife replied, "We are all women, or half-grown children. We can't do anything, and we can't make the decision. When the village head and others come, we just need to apologize. They won't bully us women and children, right? It's okay."

Old Man Wang thought it was feasible and he thought so too.

He had never expected that the matter would escalate to this point.

To be honest, he just wanted to scare Jiang, a woman, and ruin her business, but he didn't expect to stir up such a big mess, like a hornet's nest.

"Old lady, second brother, pack up your things, we're going to hide for a few days."

"good."

Several people hurried to collect their things.

The third son's wife searched the crowd for several times, "Dad, second brother, where is the head of our family? Where is he? Didn't we go together?"

Old Man Wang paused and said casually, "It's in the back."

I can't take care of this son now.

Several people quickly packed up their things and immediately went out from the back.

***

After Jiang Lianzhu returned from the mountains, she continued to work hard to make her autumn pear paste.

There was no other way, she had to do it herself.

Dabao and Erbao were watching over the house, and there was nothing to say. Everything was there and there was no trouble.

When Jiang Lianzhu came back, everything was still in order. After knowing what happened on the mountain, Erbao ran towards Lao Wang's house.

Go and see the village head and his men going to deal with Old Wang’s family.

After a while, Erbao came back to report that Old Man Wang and his wife, as well as Old Man Wang Er, had all run away.

Only Wang Laosan was left, who was fainted from the heat and was carried to the town to see a doctor.

In a word, there is no one in the Wang family who can do anything, so let's put this matter aside for the time being.

Jiang Lianzhu didn't care much. They had escaped and were not causing trouble in front of her, so she felt more at peace.

Only two kids were a little angry that they were allowed to run away like this.

Erbao said angrily, "You can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple. Even if you have the guts to never come back, you will come back sooner or later. The village head said that their whole family must be kicked out of the village."

Dabao, on the other hand, was not so emotional. "Even if we don't drive them away, the villagers won't tolerate them. They have no face to stay in the village anymore. They have aroused public anger."

In the next few days, everyone who worked at the Jiang family and those who came to sell pears cursed the Wang family.

The other members of Lao Wang's family didn't dare go out for several days, as they would be scolded if they did.

Not going out doesn't mean everything is fine. Children often come to their house and throw stones at them. The house with a broken roof is covered with a layer of various rotten leaves and broken stones.

There are endless people going to Lao Wang’s house to yell and curse at him every day.

The other villagers who joined Lao Wang's family in cutting down trees that day were all taught a lesson by the village head, and all of them came to apologize to Jiang Lianzhu.

Jiang Lianzhu didn't accept it either. She just told them to get away and not get in her way in the future.

They needed to apologize, but it wasn't just her, they had to apologize to everyone in the village.

Of course, even if others forgive them, she will not forgive them easily.

She is not a saint. If it was like the first time, when Mrs. Zhao knelt down in front of her and her son to sell pears and admitted her mistakes for bullying them in the past, and nothing serious happened and her son forgave her, she could also forgive him.

Now that they have made such a big mistake, they are setting fire to the mountains and cutting down trees. This is really unforgivable.

In the end, the head of the village punished them severely, and they dared not make trouble again. They were not the main culprits. The main culprit ran away, and the accomplice admitted his mistake, which was considered to be sensible.

Because of the trouble at Old Wang's house that day, Jiang Lianzhu only made more than 500 kilograms of autumn pear paste.

The loss of income was hundreds of taels of silver.

The next few days were peaceful and no one came to cause trouble. Because of the tree-cutting and mountain-burning this time, the villagers spontaneously organized small organizations to watch over and protect the forest. The village head organized them for pay, while some organized themselves spontaneously without asking for pay, in order to better protect the pear orchard.

In the past, there were wild beasts like wolves in the mountains that could hurt people, but now they are gone. Even slightly larger animals cannot be found. Others don’t know the reason, but Jiang Lianzhu knows that there are two golden eagles nearby, and this area of hills is their territory.

The hunters in the village haven't been able to hunt recently, so they all came to the mountains to pick pears.

So many villagers depend on the pear orchard and autumn pear paste for their livelihood. Jiang Lianzhu originally didn't want to be too tired, so she set up four large pots to boil autumn pear paste. However, for so many villagers, Jiang Lianzhu had to expand the kitchen and build two more stoves to increase production.

More than 1,000 kilograms of autumn pear paste can be produced in a day.

Fortunately, Lin’s shop takes as many products as it can, so sales are no problem.

Seeing that Jiang Lianzhu was too tired, Dabao and Erbao spontaneously shared the burden with her. They stood on stools just enough to reach the stove, and each of them was responsible for a pot to make autumn pear paste.

They were unfamiliar with it at first, but later on they became more and more proficient. Although Jiang Lianzhu did not trust others, her two sons still taught them how to make it without reservation.

This greatly relieved Jiang Lianzhu's pressure.

It means that she is still responsible for four pots, and the two newly added pots are given to the two cubs, Dabao and Erbao.
