“The clan must be exterminated.”
It's unclear who spoke first, but the villagers suddenly realized what was happening and began shouting for their expulsion from the clan.
Aunt Qiu, standing in the crowd, was stunned for a long time. Thinking that Jiang Bai had almost become her daughter-in-law, she was filled with lingering fear.
If such a fierce girl were to marry into her family and they discovered her affair, wouldn't they have to sell her off as well?
We can't afford to start something like this; once we do, who knows if it will happen again?
"Jiang Bai, did you hear that?"
The clan leader couldn't calm down. Seeing Jiang Bai still standing there calmly, he felt that he had really helped an ungrateful person.
The village head sighed softly, "This girl, how can she act so recklessly?"
“I heard you, Grandfather. I have something else to say. If the clan still decides to expel me after I finish speaking, then I have nothing more to say.”
"Alright, go ahead." The clan leader couldn't describe his feelings, and even wondered if it was because he hadn't spoken up for her yesterday that things had turned out this way.
Jiang Bai shook his head and said, "I can only say these things to you."
"No, Chieftain, who knows if she might harm you?"
"Yes, Uncle, let her talk here!"
Although the village head trusted Jiang Bai, he dared not risk the safety of the clan leader, so he could only join the others in persuading him.
The clan chief looked at Jiang Bai and saw that her gaze was firm and that she had made up her mind to talk to him alone. He was also very curious about what had happened to make her do such a rebellious thing.
"You all get out."
"Chieftain."
"Uncle."
The villagers and clan elders all changed their expressions.
"go out."
The clan leader's face darkened, and although the others were worried, they obediently withdrew.
"Er Ya, you all go out too!"
Jiang Lu nodded, took Jiang Songwen's hand, and walked outside. When they reached the door, Jiang Songwen turned to look at Jiang Bai and murmured, "Big Sister."
Soon, the door to the old house was closed, and Jiang Bai and the clan chief went into the main room. No one knew what they said, only that when the clan chief came out, his face was ashen.
"Although you have not been expelled from the clan this time, from now on you are not allowed to step into the Jiang family ancestral hall again."
"Yes, Grandpa."
The clan chief paused, looked at the villagers, and said, "The seventh brother's family has behaved improperly. From this day forward, they are no longer members of the Jiang clan."
"What?"
"Chieftain, what exactly happened?"
The clan chief glanced at the villagers before him and said coldly, "I will explain this matter to the clan elders myself."
After saying that, he left with the clan elders.
"Uncle Village Head, what exactly is going on? Wasn't Jiang Bai the one who made a mistake? Why is the Seventh Master's family being expelled instead?"
"I was waiting outside with you all, and you didn't even know it, how could I possibly know?"
The village head's forehead veins were bulging; he also wanted to know what was going on.
The villagers were completely bewildered, but the clan chief was always fair in his dealings. Since he had spoken, it must be that Master Jiang's family had really done something that angered both heaven and man!
However, these villagers dared not deal with Jiang Bai again, fearing that they might accidentally be sold by her.
Are you scared?
Jiang Bai asked Jiang Lü.
Jiang Lu shook her head and said, "I'm very happy. The bad guys got their comeuppance."
"Silly girl, that's not enough."
Thinking of everything Jiang Songwen had suffered, Jiang Bai's eyes turned frighteningly cold.
After watching the whole thing, Ji Yanwen was completely bewildered. When he heard Jiang Bai say that this wasn't enough, his expression changed drastically.
No, what does she mean?
"Jiang Bai, don't do anything reckless."
Ji Yanwen was extremely worried, fearing that she might cause some more trouble.
"Reckless behavior? Is this what you call reckless behavior?"
Oh no, who triggered this madness in her?
The Jiang Anshan family, who remained there, dared not utter a sound, fearing that Jiang Bai might get angry and send them all away as well.
A short while later, Shanzi came over with his men and said, "Jiang Bai, the clan chief ordered me to lead people to move the grain and tools from Seventh Master's house into the clan granary for confiscation."
"Please go ahead."
Jiang Bai stepped aside and watched them empty the old house.
Zhang regretfully looked away, having originally thought these things could be left to them.
"Second Uncle, the clan chief said that Seventh Master's house has also been taken back into the clan. If you want to live there, you can buy it or rent it."
Since people who have been enslaved cannot own private property, this house naturally cannot be left to Jiang Anshan, otherwise it would become Jiang Bai's property.
"I see."
Jiang Anshan responded with a complicated expression.
Last night they were discussing how to find a way out, and the next day they smashed up their house.
Do you hate it?
He didn't know whether he should hate him or not. If his Xian-ge'er suffered the same treatment as A-Wen, he was afraid he would do the same thing as Jiang Bai.
He still can't understand why his parents treated him differently from his grandson.
Watching the old house gate close, and all of his family's belongings being moved away by the clan, with the gate sealed off by the clan, Jiang Anshan felt a deep sense of loss.
"Let's go cut some bamboo and build a place to stay!"
Zhang tugged at his sleeve. Although the whole family had been reduced to slavery, she didn't feel a great sense of loss.
Whether they work like slaves at the old house or for Jiang Bai, isn't it all the same? As long as they have food and water, their family can survive.
As for redeeming his citizenship and returning him to good life, we'll talk about that later!
Clutching the silver in her sleeve, Zhang felt a surge of excitement.
