Chapter 167 The Fate of the Ge Family Mother and Daughter
For a moment, those who had originally wanted to secretly attack Lu's vegetables restrained their thoughts and behaved themselves.
After hearing this, Ying Cang sneered, "I wonder what tricks the Lu family has used to fool those unremarkable fools. They can only think of the punishment from the gods."
Housekeeper Ying whispered, "Master, according to the news Wei Yuanbai brought back, the Ge family mother and daughter are indeed frightened silly. Ge Hongxia has been muttering about ghosts all day long, and her mother's eyes are wide open. It doesn't look good..."
"Useless!" Ying Cang said coldly: "Since it's useless, there's no need to waste time on them. Let's abandon the previous plan and start over!"
"As for the Lu family's business..." Butler Ying pondered, "Do we need to send other people?"
Ying Cang thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. Let's not start with business. This is too slow."
Butler Ying immediately understood what he meant. Attacking the Lu family's business would be too slow, so he had to use something more vicious and more effective in hitting the Lu family.
He was just a small butler, yet he was trusted by the master. He was taken along on this trip, so he was definitely not a pushover. He quickly came up with an idea and made the arrangements one by one.
The next day, Wei Yuanbai brought people to cancel the engagement.
Ge Hongxia's eyes were red as she clutched Wei Yuanbai's sleeve tightly, not letting go. "I went to the Lu family's vegetable garden for you. How could you be so heartless?"
Wei Yuanbai no longer had the gentleness of the past. His eyes were full of disgust. "Don't slander me. I'm a scholar, how could I possibly let you do that? I want to pass the imperial examinations in the future. You are such a vicious woman, actually trying to ruin my reputation."
Ge Hongxia looked at her in disbelief. "But it was you who said you wanted to know what kind of vines grew tomatoes and cucumbers, those vegetables that drove people in the county crazy. That's why I went to the vegetable field. How could you be like this?"
"I'm just curious, I'm not asking you to steal. With your character, how can you be my wife? Aren't you bringing disgrace to our Wei family?" Wei Yuanbai was firm in his attitude and determined to cancel the engagement.
Ge Hongxia's face turned pale, and she clutched her stomach as she said, "But we're already...already married. If you break off the engagement now, what should I do?"
"We just agreed to get married and you're dragging me into the woods. Who knows if you've ever been into the woods with anyone else before? You're a woman, and you're really being disrespectful."
Wei Yuanbai's words were like knives, cutting Ge Hongxia so hard that she couldn't stand steadily.
When the villagers heard that the Wei family had broken off the engagement, they came to watch the fun and immediately looked at Ge Hongxia with disdain and pointed at her.
This Ge Hongxia is so shameless! She's not even married yet! She can't wait to do that with a man. Now she deserves to be broken off.
Ever since Ge Hongxia said she had a good marriage, Ge Shuanniang has been showing off everywhere, trying to outdo everyone, and has offended many people.
Now that Ge Hongxia's engagement has been broken off, no villagers have stepped forward to help.
Wei Yuanbai forcefully canceled the engagement, and Ge Hongxia spent the entire day in a daze, crying at home. Ge Shuanniang also wilted like an eggplant hit by frost, her former spirit gone.
In fact, she hated the Lu family in her heart, but because she was afraid of the punishment from the gods, she dared not do evil again.
Even when secretly cursing the Lu family, he would look around suspiciously, fearing that he would be punished by the gods again.
Seeing that the Ge family was afraid of their own family and no longer dared to provoke them, Jiang Tangtang was very satisfied.
I didn't expect that the original purpose was to prevent theft, but now it has brought me an unexpected surprise.
She looked at her house, debating whether to install a security fence. But the copper wire in her space was almost used up. Her house was connected to the workshop, and the materials needed were quite a lot.
Fortunately, in addition to copper wire, iron wire can also conduct electricity.
She took out a roll of small wire from the space and was about to make another one when Lu Shiyan walked in from outside.
Although this was an item that did not exist in this era, Jiang Tangtang did not hide it.
In fact, the excuses she made for always bringing out all kinds of weird things might be enough to fool others, but for someone as smart as him, it obviously wouldn't work.
But instead of exposing her, he helped her cover it up.
This made her feel very safe, and gradually, she was too lazy to find excuses to feel aggrieved in front of him.
Many times, I no longer try to hide from him.
For example, Jiang Tangtang had made scented candles several times in front of Lu Shiyan. Apart from helping her make candles, Lu Shiyan never asked her where those strange tools in her hands came from.
When Lu Shiyan saw what Jiang Tangtang was holding, he didn't ask where it came from, as usual. He just asked, "What are you doing? Is there anything I can help with?"
"This is iron wire, used to make anti-theft nets." Jiang Tangtang briefly explained the anti-theft nets in the wasteland and the latest plans.
Lu Shiyan looked at the iron wire in Jiang Tangtang's hand thoughtfully. So this was the thing that made the villagers afraid?
But using this kind of defense on a vegetable field would be a waste. If it were used in military operations...
But this is her thing, it is her freedom to use it wherever she wants, and she has no right to interfere.
Jiang Tangtang looked up and saw his gloomy expression, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing." Lu Shiyan quickly put aside the messy thoughts in his mind and went over to help Jiang Tangtang.
After touching the iron wire, he found that it was tougher and stronger than he had imagined. It was indeed a rare and good material.
He couldn't help himself and said to Jiang Tangtang, "Can you give me a piece of this wire? I want to see if my men can make it."
Ever since he decided to fight back and seek justice for the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, he has been trying to recruit talented people.
Now, he has gathered a large group of people, many of whom are iron smelters.
"Sure!" Jiang Tangtang looked at Lu Shiyan with sparkling eyes. "What kind of masters do you have now?"
If his men could make it, she would never lack wire. No, there were many other things besides wire.
"Master Ran injured his leg, but his ironmaking skills are very impressive. Besides Master Ran, there are several other masters who possess the ability to build ships. I will take you to meet them later..."
Lu Shiyan did not hide anything from her and told her about the number of his subordinates one by one.
After hearing that he had talented shipbuilders under him, Jiang Tangtang thought about a book about shipbuilding that she had found in a book bar a few days ago.
The book is useless in her hands. If I give it to him...
Jiang Tangtang smiled and said, "Wait a few days, I'll give you something good."
