After realizing it was a false alarm, he suddenly started talking.
Boss Ye glanced at his wife and felt that her reaction just now was strange.
But now was not a good time to ask too many questions, so he could only keep it in his mind and think of asking again when he returned to his room at night.
"Master Mu, what brings you here so late? Could it be that there are still bandits on the run here?"
Mu Zheng just smiled and shook his head, keeping it a secret, and said, "Come on, let's go to the threshing ground first. I'll tell everyone in front of them."
At this time, everyone else in the village was already waiting in the threshing ground.
Hundreds of people were talking about their own things, and it was really noisy.
"I was just about to cook, why did you call us all over here?"
"You're lucky. My food is already in the pot. I can only serve it half-cooked and put it aside. I'll go back and continue cooking it later!"
"It's almost dark, I'm freezing, what on earth are we doing? Why don't we just get started?"
"Do we have to wait until everyone is here before we start? It seems like some people haven't come yet?" Madam Wang Er had been paying attention to the situation in Old Ye's family. When she found out that no one from his family had come, she immediately spoke out in the crowd.
"No way? Who hasn't come yet?"
"Everyone look around, who's missing?"
"Whose family is so unrefined as to make the whole village wait for them?"
After Wang Erniang said this, there was no need to say who it was, because someone would soon find out.
"I've been looking for a long time, and everyone in our village is here, except for the newcomers, Old Ye's family!"
"Could it be that they don't know the village rules? They didn't seem to ring the gong to gather them after they arrived."
"Just now, we didn't just beat the gong. We shouted loudly many times, asking everyone to gather at the threshing ground. Everyone is here, so why didn't his family understand?"
"That's too much. I shouldn't have agreed to let them stay in the first place. They've only been here a short time, and they've already caused so much trouble."
"Who says it's not true? It's a pity that the Ye family is more prosperous and more capable than our Wang family. Whatever they say is the truth, and we can only listen!
"Didn't you see that Widow Liu's family was driven out by them?"
While Ye Juan'er told Liu Quan to go to Old Ye's house and call for help, she couldn't help but retort, "Mrs. Wang Er, stop being so picky.
"What do you mean by 'squeezing out Widow Liu's family?' Widow Liu has clearly gone to the city to live a good life.
"If this is called a bank run, then come and run me.
"Who wants to work hard in the countryside digging for food in the dirt when they can live a good life in the city?"
"That makes sense."
"That's right! I also want to live in the city!"
"It's a pity that no one is squeezing us!"
"Haha, how about we squeeze each other?"
When Wang Erniang saw that Ye Juaner had refuted her provocative words in just a few words, her face immediately turned ugly.
She closed her mouth and stopped talking, but she was still paying attention in her mind, watching for any opportunities to exaggerate.
Unfortunately, Ye Juaner quickly diverted the topic.
Madam Wang Er glared at Ye Juan'er unhappily and said sourly, "Oh, you're really defending your cheap nephew's family!
"Isn't it just sending your son to the capital to be an apprentice? Is that so serious?
"Besides, they're after Xiang Lei, not the Ye family who helped you get in through the backdoor.
"This shows that Xiang Lei is a capable kid. He shouldn't be buried. What does this have to do with the Ye family?"
Ye Juan'er ignored her, but she knew very well in her heart that if it weren't for the old Ye family, someone of Young Master Qin's status would never have come to Rongxi Village.
No matter how capable Xiang Lei is, how could he be noticed by others at first sight if he couldn't even meet them?
Just as the voices of protest were growing louder in the threshing ground, Mu Zheng finally arrived with the people from the Ye family.
A group of people walked slowly into the threshing ground, followed by two rows of people holding torches to illuminate the area.
“Master Mu, you are here. All our villagers have reached their expiration date and are waiting for your orders.”
After the people holding torches entered the threshing ground, they dispersed to various places to help with lighting, and the remaining few people gathered around Mu Zheng.
Wang Guangping was very considerate and prepared a wooden platform for Mu Zheng and asked him to stand on it to talk.
Wang Guangping yelled at the bottom of his voice: "Stop talking, Master Mu is telling us something important!"
The people below saw that the Ye family came with Mu Zheng, and they were whispering to each other in surprise.
But after hearing Wang Guangping's words, everyone quickly quieted down.
Mu Zheng did not stand on the wooden platform prepared by Wang Guangping, but he was a martial artist, and he could speak normally from his dantian so that everyone could hear him clearly.
"Hello everyone in Rongxi Village, my name is Mu Zheng, and I work under Master Qin Songyin.
"Recently, I have been in charge of suppressing bandits in Fengle County."
As soon as he said this, there was suddenly a small commotion below, which had been quiet just a moment ago.
"It's almost the end of the year now. Could it be that the gang of criminals is committing crimes again?"
"It's so scary! I heard they kill everyone they see and don't leave any alive!"
"Oh, let's go shopping for the New Year together. If anything happens, we can look after each other.
"Pah, pah, pah, you're in trouble because you were buying New Year's goods!"
"That's right, if you can't talk, just say less. Isn't this just annoying?"
"Oh, that's not what I meant. I mean... I can't explain it clearly!"
