The village head's wife said with a smile on her face, "You are so kind, my dear guest. Meeting is fate. Now that we have spoken, we will shamelessly accept the money."
Village chief Li originally wanted to refuse, as being able to compensate them with ten taels of silver was already a profit for them.
However, the village chief's wife knew Village Chief Li and Li Dazhu's personalities too well, and did not give them any room to maneuver, and directly accepted the silver.
Village Chief Li said helplessly, "How can you, a bitch, take so much money from such a distinguished guest?"
Xiao Jing hurriedly persuaded her, "It's okay, it's okay. Sister-in-law did the right thing. It's only natural that she should take the money. So, are we even now?"
At this point, for some reason, Xiao Jing thought about it and decided to write a written document to avoid any confusion later.
Although both Village Chief Li and Li Dazhu are honest and decent country men, the Village Chief's wife and Li Dazhu's wife both have their own little thoughts.
Although the problem is not big, there are interests involved between them after all. Xiao Jing thinks that as long as the problem can be solved, these problems will not be a problem.
The village chief was helpless. He knew very well that his wife was just greedy for money.
But in front of the distinguished guests, he really couldn't say this directly.
Seeing that Xiao Jing didn't look angry at all, Village Chief Li relaxed.
Village chief Li knew that most of the distinguished guests from outside had bad tempers. If he offended them, not only would he not make money, but he might also bring trouble to his family.
Thinking of this, Village Chief Li felt that he should remind the old woman not to do this again in the future.
It was because the Xiao family was easy to talk to that they were not angry. If the Xiao family were all overbearing and unreasonable, their greed for money today might have offended people.
In fact, the village chief's worries are not unreasonable. It's just that the Xiao family is not a bad person, so things that can be solved with money are not a big deal.
Xiao Jing sat for a while longer, and seeing that it was almost time and the work was done, he returned to their yard.
Fortunately, the village chief’s new house had two courtyards. The owner’s family was in the first courtyard, and the exiled team was in the second courtyard.
This way, it will be more convenient for both families and they won't interfere with each other.
After receiving the silver, the village chief's wife felt much better. She took her daughter-in-law to cook a lot of food in the front yard, and after it was ready, she took the initiative to bring it to the second courtyard to entertain everyone.
Xiao Jing naturally knew that although the village head's wife loved money, she had a good heart, so he accepted it with a smile.
The village chief’s wife cooked a total of eight dishes, all of which are now in the room where Liu Yong and Liu Gang are.
Currently, only Liu Yong and Liu Gang have no problem eating these things.
But Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue had prepared the food long ago, so everyone was now well fed. No one wasted the food, but kept it in the lunch boxes.
Anyway, we have stoves now, so when we want to eat, we can just heat it up on the stove and eat it.
After everything was ready, the sky gradually darkened.
Even the people from the second house had consulted a doctor for Xiao Bin, but because his broken leg had not been properly repaired, the wound became inflamed after being caught in the rain, causing him to faint.
Now after taking the medicine, I woke up, but my body felt heavy and I fell asleep again after a while.
But when the people in the second house saw Xiao Bin wake up, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he is fine, even if he is sick, he is the backbone of their second house.
That night, everyone had a rare chance to sleep peacefully.
Although he could rest in the carriage during his exile, he couldn't get enough rest because he didn't have a bed to sleep soundly on.
After everyone went to bed to rest, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue were still standing by the window, looking at the heavy rain outside, feeling very worried.
No one knew how long the rain would last, but Yun Ruoxi's worries did not diminish at all, but increased as time passed.
Seeing Yun Ruoxi's bad face, Mu Ruxue said worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you still worried?"
Yun Ruoxi closed the window and nodded in response, "Yes, ever since it started raining on the road, I've had a bad feeling. If it weren't so late, I really want to go to the top of the mountain to take a look."
"It's raining so hard now that it's dangerous to go up the mountain. We can only wait until daybreak before going up the mountain to have a look."
As Mu Ruxue spoke, she took off her shoes and socks and got on the kang, ready to rest.
But because of Yun Ruoxi's concern, Mu Ruxue did not take off her clothes, but stayed dressed neatly to rest.
Even Mrs. Zhao and Old Madam Xiao were dressed neatly and resting.
Yun Ruoxi felt a little relieved when she saw that everyone was being cautious.
"Xixi, come to bed quickly. If there is anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."
After a whole day of hard work, Yun Ruoxi was indeed a little tired.
I originally thought that I might not be able to sleep because I had something on my mind, but as soon as my head touched the pillow, I fell asleep faster than Zhao.
Zhao looked at her two daughters-in-law sleeping soundly next to each other and carefully covered them with quilts.
It rained at night and the temperature dropped. If it weren't for the stove that Yun Ruoxi took out, many people would have caught a cold today.
After taking care of her daughter-in-law, Zhao looked at Old Madam Xiao again, and finally lay down in her own quilt and fell asleep in a short while.
At midnight, Yun Ruoxi was awakened by a loud roar. When she opened her eyes, she was still a little unresponsive.
It was not until they saw the unfamiliar roof that they realized they were staying at the village chief's house.
Hearing the heavy sound of rain outside, I felt a little worried. I hurried to the window in my cloth shoes, opened the window a little, and instantly felt the cold wind blowing on my face.
Looking at the rain outside, the entire yard has been soaked, and the water level is almost reaching the gate.
I was shocked. If it was just an ordinary heavy rain, even if there was water in the yard, it would flow out of the yard through the drainage ditch.
There is so much water now, it is obvious that something is wrong.
Yun Ruoxi hurriedly put on her shoes, put on her raincoat, and found herself a pair of high-top rain boots. She opened the door of the room to check.
Perhaps the noise of opening the door was a bit loud, Mu Ruxue and Zhao were both woken up. Old Madam Xiao was sleeping soundly because she had taken the antipyretic medicine and had not been woken up yet.
Mu Ruxue vaguely looked at Yun Ruoxi who was fully armed, and muttered: "Xixi, what are you going to do?"
Yun Ruoxi looked at her mother-in-law and best friend who had been woken up by her, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry for waking you up. I was a little worried and wanted to go out and take a look."
