In March, the busy farming season had just passed, and the villagers were free.
Seeing Dalang of the Cao family leading the village chief and Li Zheng to their Cao family compound, the villagers would call out to the village chief and Li Zheng.
Caojia Village was not very big, and everyone knew each other when they walked out of the door, and naturally they also knew Dalang of the Cao family. Many people in the village knew that Silang of the Cao family had been sent back because of something, and no one had heard anything about Silang of the Cao family in the past few days. Now that Dalang of the Cao family invited people to his home, everyone who saw him wondered if something had happened to the Cao family.
"Dalang of the Cao family, why did you invite the village chief and Li Zheng over? What happened at home?" someone asked with false concern.
The people in the same village knew what kind of person Chen A-ma was. There were only a few families in the village who lived in big tiled houses with blue bricks. The Cao family lived a relatively good life in their village. In addition, their Cao family's fifth son had passed the Tongsheng examination and had a scholar. Naturally, Chen A-ma looked down on the people in their village. It was as if she was afraid that poor people like them would go to their Cao family compound to borrow money and food. The people in the village also knew about it, so few people stepped into the Cao family compound.
Normally, if someone in the village had something wrong, everyone would care about it. But now that Cao family's fourth son was lying in bed, even though many people knew about it, no one in the village went to the Cao family compound to take a look.
"No...no, nothing." Cao Fugui stuttered when he saw people asking about his family.
His hesitant and anxious appearance of trying to cover up aroused everyone's suspicion, and some people followed him with a thick face and a smile. So all the way along, curious people followed behind with nothing to do.
Sun Bailian, who was feeding chickens in the fence, saw Cao Fugui leading the village chief and Li to their Cao family, and there were many people following behind. He knew that something must have happened to the Cao family. Worried about Qi Wanfeng, he hurriedly got out without even washing his hands and followed everyone.
Cao Gang, who was carving wood in the yard, saw his wife ran away without saying a word, turned around and looked at the children in the house. Cao Gang stayed at home silently to look after the house and the children.
"What are you guys following me for? Did something happen at the Cao family?"
"I don't know. I just came here to see what happened because everyone was following me."
Sun Bailian couldn't get any information from other people, so she just followed everyone to the Cao family compound. Knowing that her husband was at home taking care of the children, she didn't worry about the children.
Sun Bailian and Qi Wanfeng were good friends in private, and they had a good relationship. He also knew about Chen A-mo and knew that Qi Wanfeng didn't have a good life at the Cao family. However, he could only help Qi Wanfeng with other people's family affairs. After all, it was someone else's family affairs and he couldn't interfere.
He knew that Cao's Silang was in trouble, and the most hateful thing was that Chen Zhu refused to even pay for the doctor. The old doctor in the village was his third grandfather. Sun Bailian knew that Chen A-mo had invited his third grandfather to the Cao family compound once, and invited him again the day before yesterday. Qi Wanfeng secretly bought the medicine with his own hidden private money. He also helped Qi Wanfeng to get medicine. Thinking about it, he felt that old man Chen Zhu was really abominable.
When Cao Fugui returned home, he saw a large group of people following behind him. He was anxious, but it was difficult to chase them away. The people who followed did not follow him into the Cao family compound, but stood at the door. Sun Bailian went in from the back and got a good position in the first row.
Seeing Qi Wanfeng and Cao Jia Silang sitting in the yard, Sun Bailian glared at Chen Zhu angrily, thinking that this old man must have done something wrong.
