Chapter 197 Inside Story
Zeng became interested. "This is easy. Didn't the eldest son of Chenzhuang marry the daughter of the Wei family in Liujiazhuang? The big dog of the Chenmu family is also engaged to the second daughter of the Wei family. Let them go and tell the Wei family and ask them to help keep an eye on it, right?"
As for the village chief, it's easy to deal with. Just say that no family with children in the village wants to keep the child, and ask the village chief to take the child away and make other arrangements. Don't mention Chen Quezi either. I don't believe the village chief is willing to take on this hot potato!
I will have to explain to Shen Yi later, to avoid misunderstandings and think that we don't care about the villagers!"
Shen Ying thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. He was also fooled by the big promises made by the village chief. He suddenly figured it out and immediately went to Chen Mu's house.
The reason why Shen Dagou was chosen was because he was not married yet, and others would not think much of it if he went to Liujiazhuang more frequently.
When Shen Dagou found out, he agreed immediately.
Shen Ying breathed a sigh of relief and then slowly went to Liu Guangyao's home in Liujiazhuang.
"Village head, I'm here to talk to you about something." Shen Ying walked into the house slowly.
Liu Guangyao quickly led him to the corner of the yard to talk, "What's the matter?"
Shen Ying sighed and shook his head. "Village head, I have been looking for suitable people in the village according to your request. After much selection, there are only a few families, but no one is willing to raise a child! Otherwise, I will send the child to you and you can find someone else for her?"
Liu Guangyao immediately pulled a long face, "Shen Ying, you are not honest! What's the matter? I don't take care of you normally? If there is any benefit, I will ruin your Shenjia Village. Now I am just looking for an adoptive family for a child, but you are making excuses. This is not fair!"
Shen Ying became even more worried, and slapped his thigh hard, "Village head! You really wronged me! Just now, I invited the Shen Yi couple, who have the best family background in our village, to come to my house. I tried to persuade them in every possible way, using both soft and hard tactics, but they just didn't want to. Besides, they have a son and a daughter, and they really don't want to raise them. What can I do?
The Su family has the support of the entire Dongmen Village. I heard that the head of Qingsha Township, Su Changfu, has a very good relationship with the town official. Shen Yi himself also has a relationship with the town official. Can I, a small village head, really force them?"
Liu Guangyao pursed his lips and remained silent.
Shen Ying raised his eyebrows and sighed again, "If the village chief really wants Shen Yi and his wife to adopt the child, I will risk my life to quarrel with them, but I am afraid that they will send the child to the town to ask the town officials to make a decision. The town officials have many misunderstandings about you, and I am afraid that you will be implicated by then!"
These words made Liu Guangyao's face look even uglier.
The town official Liu Tiechui is from Liujiazhuang, but his parents died early in his life and he did not receive any help from the villagers. Instead, he suffered all kinds of hardships in the village, and they were also very rude to him, a relative of the same clan. Not only did he lose face in front of Liu Tiechui's side, but he was often picked on. It would be bad if Shen Yi really let the matter get to him.
"Alright, alright, what else can I do now that you've said that?" Liu Guangyao frowned and waved his hands in annoyance, not planning to entertain Shen Ying anymore.
Shen Ying shamelessly asked: "Then should I bring the child to you?"
"What are you doing to me?" Liu Guangyao was so shocked that he jumped up on the spot, took two steps back, and avoided the attacker like a snake or scorpion.
Shen Ying pretended to be bewildered. "Didn't the township head want to find a good family for the child? There are not many good families in our village, and there are also your village and other villages. As long as the township head speaks out, there will definitely be a response."
Liu Guangyao roared with a sullen face, "Get lost! You have to deal with the mess in your village by yourselves, I don't care anymore!"
This was exactly the result Shen Ying wanted, and he deliberately lingered with Liu Guangyao for a long time before leaving.
After seeing the troublesome Shen Ying leave, Liu Guangyao walked towards Niu Cuihua's house.
"Sister-in-law, I came here to tell you that no one wants that child. The people in Shenjiazhuang are planning to send the child to the town officials and leave him alone. I just scolded Shen Ying, and I guess he doesn't dare to do that. But I really can't do anything about who will end up with that child." Liu Guangyao said with a sigh.
If it weren't for Niu Cuihua saving his grandson's life in his early years, he wouldn't want to get involved in such matters.
Niu Cuihua widened her eyes in indignation, "Then Chen Yi doesn't care? Isn't the child near his home?"
Liu Guangyao said, "Shen Ying meant that Shen Yi and his wife were determined not to raise them. If they really wanted to raise them, they would send them to the town officials and let the government arrange for them. You also know the situation at the government office. How can a child live a good life in an orphanage? So I suppressed the matter. I guess Shen Ying will choose another family for the children in Shenjia Village, and the conditions are probably not much better."
Niu Cuihua's eyes instantly turned red, full of resentment and resentment, "How could Chen Yi be so cold-blooded and heartless! If it weren't for his family, the child wouldn't have been abandoned. People like this deserve to be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
Liu Guangyao frowned, "Sister-in-law, you may be angry, but please calm down. No one knows the details of the child now. If Shenjiazhuang finds out, they will definitely send the child back. I'm afraid they will even ask your sister for money!"
When Niu Cuihua thought of her sister who was unable to do anything, she felt sad again. Her energy and spirit were visibly draining away, and she still had to exchange polite greetings with the village head.
Wei Gang watched this scene from afar, feeling puzzled, but he soon ignored it.
It's the busy spring farming season, and his family decided to follow the trend and plant some watermelons and strawberries this year. This is the first time in the entire Liujiazhuang, and they have been ridiculed for this. In order to save face, he has to work hard.
After noon, he finally rested and sat on the edge of the field to catch his breath. He saw Shen Dagou coming over with a hoe on his shoulder. He was very surprised and asked, "Why are you here, kid?"
Shen Dagou grinned at Wei Gang and sat down beside him, imitating his example. "Uncle, I came here specially to help. Our family doesn't have much land, and my father is busy with his brothers and sisters, so I came to take a look at you."
"Hey! You are much more interesting than Chen Liang! Chen Liang was not as diligent as you when he was proposing marriage to Daya." Wei Gang teased without any hesitation.
Shen Dagou shook his head seriously, "That's different. Brother Shen Liang's family has much more land than ours! Before, there were only four people working in their family, working day and night, rushing to finish the farm work. How could they have the time to take care of other things? Even if there is one more person now, they are still very busy.
I have less time than them, so it’s normal for me to come over and show my courtesy, hehe.”
Wei Gang laughed loudly, but he had no way to deal with the shameless Shen Dagou.
Seeing that he was happy, Shen Dagou changed the subject and explained the purpose of his visit. "Uncle, this is something our village chief asked me to do. He didn't ask me to do anything. He just asked me to tell you about it and ask you to pay attention to it."
When Wei Gang heard this, he immediately became serious. "When you say that, it really reminds me of a strange thing. When I was working today, I saw your village chief coming from afar. I wanted to go over and say hello, but when I saw him go into the township head's house, I didn't go over. I thought I would go over after he left, but guess what happened?
