Mo Qingcheng: "..."
What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless.
Shangguan Yichen raised an eyebrow with a wicked grin: "Mother, be careful, Father will come back and settle accounts with you..."
"Settle accounts? Come on, who's afraid of who?" Mo Qingcheng gave the young boy a meaningful look. *Does this mean I'm afraid of him?*
Shangguan Yichen's eyes darkened. His mother still didn't care about his father. Sigh... How much of a failure was his father? Could he have cheated and deceived his mother back then?
The young boy broke out in a cold sweat for Xuanyuan Lin. "Father, this is all I can do for you..."
After dinner, Li Changgeng and Sun Yunhui convened a village meeting.
Some people are curious, while others are dissatisfied, especially after hearing about the points-based household registration system, which has dampened their spirits.
After the Emperor bestowed his honors, Nanping Village rose in status and was renamed Ruyi Village. It is said that Ruyi Town will be expanded and placed under the jurisdiction of Ruyi Manor, with Lady Mo being the owner of Ruyi Manor.
In several villages near the town, some people were making various inquiries and offering small favors in an attempt to reunite with relatives and move to Ruyi Town.
I think my friends are afraid of being poor. Now that they have another way to make money, it's good to help them out.
They had taken the money and made a profit, but with just one sentence from Li Changgeng, everything vanished, affecting the interests of many people.
The money's already spent, how can I get a refund?
"Village chief, that's not right. In other villages, as long as the people aren't extremely vicious, they can settle down anywhere. Why can't we do that in Ruyi Village?"
"That's right, village chief, you're hindering our village's development. The village has less than a hundred people in total, how can we compare with other villages?"
"Who says otherwise? Village chief, who's so selfish?"
"Village chief, was this Mrs. Mo's idea?"
"..."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, and Li Changgeng and Sun Yunhui exchanged a glance, realizing that Madam Mo was truly farsighted.
Some people are just never satisfied. As the saying goes, "a man's greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant," which perfectly describes some people.
"The town head and village head Sun only came to inform everyone recently to avoid causing trouble and ending up in the yamen. Now that Lord Qi has already given his approval, who thinks they have more power than the county magistrate?" Li Changgeng was furious and spoke without any politeness.
Sun Yunhui, usually a kind-hearted man, was furious at the chaotic blind date: "This matter has nothing to do with Lady Ruyi; it was the idea of Brother Li, the two clan leaders, and myself..."
Everyone: "..."
I don't believe you!
The children who came to watch the commotion were displeased. Their mother had been selfless in helping the villagers get rich, and now she was being spoken ill of for petty gains.
snort!
"Second sister, how could these people do this? They have no conscience!" Mu Wanqing pouted, her eyes darting around. "Qing'er's hands are itching..."
"I think you're asking for a beating. I'm warning you, don't you dare lay a hand on me without Mother's permission." Shangguan Yunxi's warning was full of meaning.
Mu Wanqing rolled her eyes: "Qing'er knows what she's doing."
"What kind of sense of propriety do you have? Didn't you make a good enough mess of those people last time?" Shangguan Yunxi blurted out, truly causing everyone a lot of worry.
"Alright, Qing'er will hold back..." The little girl pouted and lowered her eyes without saying a word.
Mu Yunchuan glanced at Mu Wanqing: "Third Sister is indeed Third Sister, she can lie without even thinking."
"Pfft!" The little girl really wanted to spit blood on her own brother's face. She had seen people sabotage others before, but she had never seen anyone sabotage others like this.
Bai Ziming tugged at Shangguan Yichen's sleeve: "Big brother, why are they talking badly about Mother? Are they very full?"
"Hmm..." The young boy glanced at her coldly, a cold smile curving his lips. His mother was truly too soft-hearted...
