Jiang Yimian's gaze swept over everyone in the crowd, and after a while she said, "Village Chief, you should still talk to some people in the village when you have time."
We're all from the same village; let's work together to live a better life and not have any shady dealings.
As she spoke, her gaze fell on Chen Guixiang's face, her eyes filled with warning.
No one except the villagers would know that people still live on the mountain.
Of the people from the second branch of the family who came to the village that day, only Chen Guixiang and a few others stayed the longest. Whether the other party leaked this information intentionally or unintentionally, it almost harmed everyone.
If Zhao Dashu and Li Zhen hadn't found the person on the mountain in time, who knows what might have happened.
Li Yishi was taken aback, then realized something and immediately frowned and said to everyone, "I won't say anything more. Everyone here should be able to distinguish right from wrong."
Everyone has seen what Jiang Yatou has done for the village. I don't ask you to repay my kindness, I just ask that you don't cause any trouble.
Even if we're not exactly loving and caring towards each other, we shouldn't help outsiders harm the villagers.
Only the villagers know that there are still people living on the mountain. You all know in your hearts who leaked it.
"This time, I'll let it slide because nothing serious happened. But if it happens again, you'll be kicked out of the village."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment and began to doubt one another.
Chen Guixiang, who had come to watch the commotion from the crowd, felt a sudden jolt in her heart and a sense of unease creeping over her.
She had only said a few casual words, who knew those people would come and kill her.
No matter how you look at it, this matter can't be blamed on her. She didn't even pursue the matter of the Jiang family, these scourges, almost harming the villagers.
If it weren't for the Jiang family, their village wouldn't have been targeted.
Only these fools treat the Jiang family like saviors; sooner or later, these people from the Jiang family will bring ruin to the village.
She immediately gave a cold laugh, lost all interest in staying, and quickly left.
The Jiang family had only a little bit of money, yet the villagers started fawning over them.
When their family becomes rich, these people will definitely fawn over them. Let's see if Jiang Yimian will still dare to be so smug then.
Seeing Chen Guixiang leave the crowd, Jiang Yimian went straight home with Lu Cijian.
Wang Fengqin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two return unharmed, but she was also curious about who had ordered the attack in the village.
Jiang Yimian hesitated for a moment, but still recounted everything that had happened in court that day.
Wang Fengqin was shocked, and after a long while, she said in disbelief, "You mean, those people were all instigated by Yaoguang?"
She had been thinking about it all morning but still couldn't figure out who it was. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be that so-called relative.
They originally thought that the second wife's family had already abandoned them to flee the famine, which was already heartless, but they never expected that Jiang Yaoguang would actually want to kill them.
These people have no warmth between family members whatsoever; they are all a bunch of heartless lunatics.
Even though she knew the true colors of the second wife's family members from the beginning, she was still trembling with anger.
Qingyuan lost a member of the second wife to the battlefield, and their fate remains unknown.
After her husband disappeared, not only were the people from the second wife not saddened at all, but they also forbade her to keep her husband's things, saying it was bad luck.
She should have known sooner; those people had no family ties whatsoever, they were all heartless bastards.
Seeing Wang Fengqin trembling with anger, Jiang Yimian quickly reached out and hugged her, but didn't know how to comfort her.
Just as she was worrying, Wang Fengqin quickly composed herself, reached out and touched Jiang Yimian's head, and sighed softly, "That Madam Chen is also a person with a tragic fate."
She was ruined by the second wife's family, and to make matters worse, she left behind a child with the people who killed her entire family. She must be feeling terrible.
How is she? Is she alright?
She had known the true colors of the people from the second wife's family for a long time. Although today's outcome surprised her, it was not so unacceptable.
After the initial anger subsided, I felt sorry for that Mrs. Chen.
Jiang Yimian recalled Chen Shaofu's condition before saying, "She is very lucid now, and I think she can take care of herself."
The other party was a smart person. In the past, due to the deception and the shock of the successive deaths of relatives, he was eager to grab a lifeline and was unwilling to think about the flaws. That's why Jiang Yaoguang was able to completely control him.
Now that Chen Shaofu has figured everything out and those people from the second wife's family have been punished, she naturally won't dwell on those sad emotions anymore.
Wang Fengqin nodded, noticing that the two of them looked unwell, with dark circles under their eyes. She quickly said, "You should go back and rest. You haven't slept all night and have been busy for most of the day. Even the strongest bodies can't take it. Go back and rest."
She didn't want her daughter and Cijian to ruin their health because of those people; it wasn't worth it.
Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian exchanged a glance and both clearly saw the dark circles under each other's eyes.
To be honest, they hadn't noticed it before, but now that they're home, they are indeed quite tired.
Jiang Yimian asked about the small depression again, and only after learning that nothing had happened on the mountain did she feel relieved and go straight back to sleep.
She slept very soundly that night, and didn't wake up until the next morning.
After a quick wash and a meal, she went straight to the reclaimed land in the village.
After a period of busy work, the land reclamation work is almost complete, and now most of the villagers are busy sowing seeds.
Wen, with a serious expression, distributed seeds to everyone, hands on her hips, and commanded: "Behave yourselves, the seeds are limited, don't waste them."
"Da Mao, Er Mao, you two stop running around. Go play somewhere else and hand over the seeds. Those things are worth money, so don't cause trouble here."
Upon hearing this, Da Mao and Er Mao froze in fear.
After a long while, Da Mao timidly said, "Aunt Wen, my brother and I were helping Dad throw the seeds. We didn't cause any trouble."
Not only can she help, but she can also take care of her father.
The village chief said they couldn't cause trouble, or they wouldn't be able to come tomorrow.
Hearing this, Wen was only slightly displeased. She glanced at the two of them, then looked at the person not far away who was struggling to dig a hole with a hoe, and said irritably, "If this isn't considered causing trouble, I think your father is here to cause trouble too."
He works slowly by himself, wasting a lot of time.
"A job that everyone else can finish in one day, he takes two. Others get one day's work credit, but he gets two. Your Zhao family really has a dream."
She wasn't happy to begin with, and the thing Jiang Yatou had promised her to help with was distributing seeds to everyone. She had thought that at least she would be paid on the same day, but who would have thought that she would be helping out in the village.
Although everyone who comes to the village to help can earn work points, they can get a share of the silver based on how much effort they put in when the medicinal herbs are sold at the end of the year.
But it's hard to say how much she'll get in the end; she still prefers jobs where she can see the coins on the same day.
