Chapter 159 Stone Village Leads the Villagers to the Village
Ji Silan stuffed the letter back into his arms. He was extremely excited now. He opened his arms and wanted to hug Jiang Xihe: "I want a hug."
Jiang Xihe covered his nose and dodged, saying with disgust: "You reek of alcohol, get out of my way!"
"Junior sister, you actually look down on me. It's all Ning Chu's fault. He was the one who quickly accepted the invitation from the old man, the Minister of Revenue, and even dragged me into it."
"What is that old guy planning? Why did he suddenly invite you and Ning Chu?"
"What's his plan? He just wants a present! Today is his 59th birthday, and it looks like he'll have to celebrate his 60th birthday next year!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xihe held his forehead helplessly and said, "Uh, I found that little Siyu is smarter than you. I can't understand why your master is so smart and your father is also a top scholar, but he gave birth to someone as simple-minded as you."
"Junior sister, when little Siyu had the accident, he was only two years old. I was at least eight years old at that time. How can you tell that he is smarter than the eight-year-old me? At least I passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, okay?"
"But my mother said that I am more like my uncle."
Jiang Xihe: "Speaking of your uncle, do you want to tell him about this?"
"Of course I have to tell my uncle. He will be so happy that he will cry when he finds out."
Jiang Xihe: "Hey, go take a shower and get rid of the smell of alcohol on you. I want to go see Master!"
"Yes, I will tell my mother the good news right away. Before she died, she was thinking about little Siyu every day. The moment she closed her eyes, she tightly grasped the tiger-head shoes she sewed for him."
"Junior sister, do you want to bathe with me?"
Hearing this, Jiang Xihe reached out and slapped him on the back of the head: "It's broad daylight, can't you be serious?"
"Hey, I didn't say we should take a bath in the same tub. It's you who's not serious. Are you thinking the wrong thing?"
"Also, you keep saying that I'm simple-minded. If you hit me on the head again, won't I be even more stupid then?"
Jiang Xihe pushed him and said, "Go wash up quickly, it's so stinking."
"Your Highness, I obey your command."
Cuilin Village.
Xu Zhiyi was grinding yam flour with his family in the yard when he suddenly heard a noise outside.
Mrs. Su: "What's going on outside?"
Upon hearing this, Su Manman, who was standing by, quickly ran out to see what was going on.
"Bah, how shameless! You tried to seduce someone but ended up hitting him on the head!"
"Bah! The girls from our Cuilin Village look down on the wimpy men from your Shitou Village."
The village chief looked at the hundreds of people from Stone Village, all holding farm tools, and asked in a cold voice, "What do you mean by this? Are you planning to fight?"
The head of Shitou Village also frowned when he heard this: "Hmph, then it depends on how you, Cuilin Village, deal with it. Now it's your village's girl who seduced my nephew and injured him instead! Can't we in Shitou Village ask for an explanation?"
Su Manman came here and saw that all the villagers were there. After listening to a few words, she ran back home.
"Mom, the villagers seem to be having a fight. The village chief is bringing all the villagers with him."
Old Lady Su: "Fight? What's going on?"
Just when everyone was confused, Mrs. Hu came over and said, "People from other villages are causing trouble. Now the whole village is here. We are also part of Cuilin Village now. We can't pretend we don't know. Let's go over and take a look to see if we can help."
Old Man Su: "Then let's go too! Mingchuan and Manman stay at home"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi also looked at Shen Changan: “Changan, you stay”
Hearing this, Shen Changan also knew his situation and nodded obediently: “Well, I’m at home.”
After going out, everyone came to the big banyan tree in the village. All the villagers stood behind the village chief. There were too many people and they couldn't squeeze in, so everyone could only stand at the back.
Village chief: "Ask for an explanation? This is just your one-sided statement. Maybe the people from your Stone Village are the ones at fault."
Stone Villager: "Bah, the beauty of your Cuilin Village is relying on her looks to flirt with people everywhere"
"That's right, shameless. Maybe your tutors in Cuilin Village are like this."
Fatty: "Yes, she hit my head and it's still bleeding. I don't care. She hurt me. If my head gets seriously injured, I'll let her marry me and take care of me."
When Ma heard what the villagers of Shitou Village said, she stood with her hands on her hips and glared angrily: "I think it's you Shitou men who are bastards. You want to bully the girl, and you are confusing right and wrong here."
Upon hearing this, Wu, who was standing by, followed Ma's example and glared at the villagers of Shitou Village: "We are going to sue the officials. You, the people of Shitou Village, are forcibly seizing women from the people."
When the villagers of Shitou Village heard about the lawsuit, they immediately gave in and whispered, "Village Chief, they want to sue the officials, so why don't we just forget it?"
The head of Stone Village hadn't spoken yet, but the fat man beside him stamped his feet and pulled the head of the village:
"Uncle, you love me the most. I just want that woman Yan Yue. I have been blocking the entrance of Cuilin Village for several months. Today I finally blocked her way. I just wanted to hold her hand, but I didn't expect her to pick up a stone and throw it at me."
"My nephew is still having a headache because of this. I will definitely ruin her reputation this time. If she doesn't marry me, who else can I marry?"
Another villager nearby also echoed: "Yes! Village chief, what are we afraid of? The one who is injured now is your nephew. Even if they go to the government office in Cuilin Village, what does it matter? We are the injured party."
When the head of Shitou Village heard this, he immediately felt confident and coughed, "Today's incident is not something that Shitou Village wants to make a big fuss about. The problem is that the one who was injured is my nephew. The girl from your Cuilin Village failed to seduce him and then injured someone."
"Well, my nephew is not a fussy person. He is also a little attracted to the girl. Let the girl marry my nephew and make peace. Our Shitou Village and your Cuilin Village will be witnesses."
"I will never marry him, even if I die. It was you who came to the village entrance to block me, and I hit you on the head. Even if you go to the government, I, Yan Yue, will never be afraid."
"You little bitch, are you trying to piss off your mother to death? I told you not to come out and come home with me."
Yan Yue shook off her mother's hand and said, "Mom, why should I hide? It's not my fault."
"Yuer, are you going to piss me off to death? Even if this matter is resolved, it will ruin your reputation."
Yan Yue: "I am innocent, who can destroy me with just a mouth? At most, I can go to the government office and beat the drum to complain, and ask the county magistrate to ask the midwife to verify my innocence on the spot."
"You...you...even if the test shows that you are innocent, you will be drowned in spit. How many women in history have had a smooth life after doing this? You can only live a secluded life for the rest of your life."
Xu Zhiyi looked at the girl who ran over. Wasn't this the girl she met on her way back from delivering the basket to Aunt Mu that day? It turned out that she was the village beauty that everyone was talking about!
"We believe in Yan Yue. As long as she wants to marry, she can choose any good man in Cuilin Village."
"Well said, if anyone dares to say anything wrong, the whole village will raid his house."
"That's right, Chen, don't worry, even though your husband and son are not at home, you still have us, your neighbors."
"Yes, although we usually quarrel, if people from other villages dare to bully people from our village, we will fight them with all our might. Whoever is afraid is a coward."
