Looking at the expectant, simple faces, Han Muxue vowed that she would never give up on anyone who was good to her.
Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you.
The eight words were simple, but many people at the scene couldn't understand them.
After all, most of them were ordinary farmers, and not many of them were literate.
"What I mean is, as long as my grandparents, uncles and aunts are good to me, I will never abandon you."
Hearing this, everyone was relieved.
Someone with a quick mind said, "Xue girl, how many people do you need for your farm? Can I reserve a spot? My Zhuzi is very healthy and can do any kind of work."
"And me too, my second son is as strong as an ox, you can order him around however you want."
"Do you want a girl? My daughter is a girl, but she's very strong and can do just as much work as a boy."
"Snow Girl, my home..."
When everyone heard Han Luoxue say that the farm would open after the New Year, they excitedly gathered around. Even the old ladies who tended the fires forgot to add firewood and came over to ask their children about work.
They all knew about Han Luoxue's breeding farm, which she bought before her marriage, and it had been almost completed in the past six months.
Han Luoxue didn't come back, and they didn't know when it started.
It's not easy for rural people to go out and find work. The place wasn't too far from the village, and since it was run by the village, everyone felt at ease.
"We'll talk about hiring after the New Year, so don't worry. I'll announce how many people we need in the village."
"But, Xueya, if you want to start your pig farm, you'll need a lot of piglets, right? Where can you buy piglets these days?"
Someone said something that chilled everyone's enthusiasm: "Yeah, people aren't even getting enough to eat these days, who would raise pigs?"
An old sow eats quite a lot of things in a year.
Even if piglets are born, they won't be easy to sell in the next two years. There's not much green food in the fields, so it's hard to even feed the pigs grass. Feeding them grain is even more difficult for them.
"That's right, Xue girl, what should we do with this brat?"
Everyone was very worried, but Han Luoxue smiled and said, "Don't you trust me? Since I said I was going to run a pig farm, I will prepare the piglets and feed."
Although the crowd didn't believe it, they thought about Han Luoxue's methods. In the past six months, she had produced things that they had never seen before.
It doesn't seem impossible that Han Luoxue could get a lot of piglets, right?
"Okay, then you'll definitely save a seat for my kid."
Han Luoxue smiled but did not immediately agree.
"Hey, who hit my husband?"
A loud wail came from outside the door, and everyone looked over curiously, only to see more than a dozen people standing there.
Three people were carried to the door. The men who were chatting in the yard all came out and blocked the door. When they saw the three men on the board, they were all confused.
All three of them had blood on one leg, and they were now awake, groaning and crying.
But when they started fighting, everyone hit each other, but none of the three of them broke any bones.
I remember when they were dragged out, their legs were still intact.
Needless to say, these people were brought by the Li family from Li Village.
"How dare you say that? You're afraid these three will come asking for food, I don't know where you get the nerve."
"Oh dear, isn't it true that fortunes change? You guys injured Han Mingyuan's leg, so these three are getting their comeuppance from heaven, aren't they?"
"Tsk tsk, the wounds are really quite neat. It's truly a blessing from heaven."
The crowd chattered amongst themselves, and the people of Lijiazhuang were so angry that their eyes turned red.
The three people lying on the wooden plank were in so much pain that they couldn't even cry out: "You've deliberately injured us! If you don't give us an explanation, I'm going to report you to the authorities!"
"Heh, when you injured my father, it was also intentional. But back then, everyone in our village could testify. Do you have any witnesses to your claim of intentional injury?"
The people of Lijiazhuang's expression changed. When they found the three brothers, they pinched their philtrum to wake them up.
When asked about their situation, the three brothers revealed that they had no idea when their legs had been broken.
When they were conscious, their legs were still intact. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through them, and they all fainted again before they could even open their eyes.
However, the people of Lijiazhuang wouldn't say that. What they were certain of was that the person was beaten by the people of Hutouya Village, and naturally they wanted an explanation from them.
Compensation for medical expenses and food is required; nothing less will suffice.
Someone has already gone to call the village head; this is no longer an ordinary fight, it's considered malicious assault.
"I, I saw with my own eyes that you were the ones who injured my leg."
"Heh." Han Ruoxue sneered, took a step forward, and glanced indifferently at the three men's injured legs. Her expression remained calm: "You said it was people from our village who hit your legs. What did you use to hit them? Who hit them?"
How do your three brothers know what hit them? They didn't even see anyone.
Their eyes darted around, and one of them pointed at someone: "Him, that's him!"
The person being pointed at waved his hands repeatedly: "Are you fucking crazy? I only kicked you once. Are your legs made of paper? You could break them with one kick!"
"Haha, it's made of paper."
"That's right, even a scoundrel like you doesn't want to get away with this. Our village didn't hurt your leg."
Han Luoxue smiled and said in a calm voice, "You can tell this to the magistrate; perhaps she will believe it."
"You say people from our village beat you up, but we don't admit that. Otherwise, you can ask everyone, uncles and elders, did you hit those three?"
The onlookers shook their heads repeatedly: "We are good people, honest people, how could we possibly hit someone arbitrarily?"
"Could their injuries be from falling down?"
Han Luoxue continued to ask, and everyone hurriedly nodded: "I can testify to this, they really did fall down on their own."
"That's right, just now in front of Han Qiang's house, they were taking turns hitting themselves."
"They beat each other so badly, you'd think they were enemies instead of brothers."
Seeing that everyone was so cooperative, Han Luoxue smiled brightly: "Did you all hear that? Do you have any witnesses? I do. I remember the government never said that people from a village cannot testify."
"However, the authorities have stated that testimonies from brothers or immediate family members are not valid."
Han Luoxue didn't know if this law existed in this era, but she knew that the people of Lijia Village were even less aware of it.
"You, you all... Han Luoxue, you're the one who ordered them to beat people up, aren't you?"
Everyone in Wuling Town knows Han Luoxue's name; it's practically a household name.
"Hehe, you're overthinking it. They're all my uncles and elders, how could they possibly listen to a little girl like me?"
Han Luoxue smiled, looked at the crowd of onlookers, and said loudly, "The meat is almost cooked. Close the door and let's eat."
