Aunt Wen, who had left the village chief's house, had a look on her face that could no longer be described as ferocious. She was extremely angry at this moment, but precisely because of this, she calmed down instead.
"Humph! Ming Ge'er is still in mourning. As long as they don't get married, I will have a chance to make their life miserable."
Aunt Wen hurried back home, found her husband, and told him about Wen Zhaoming's marriage.
Aunt Wen's husband is Lin Wan, a man who can stir up waves even without wind. After hearing what his wife said, he immediately came up with a plan:
"Master, Ming is still in mourning, how can he get engaged at this time? Even though he is still in mourning, it will be over in less than two days!
Why don't I go talk to my good brothers and talk about this matter. "
"Well, be more subtle when you bring it up, and get yourself out of it. The village chief already knows that I asked Wen Xiaoxiao for help."
Aunt Wen said in a deep voice.
"Boss, I think we should have sold them both back then, and we wouldn't have had the trouble today."
Lin Wan said as a matter of course.
"Stupid, do you think I don't want to do this? If both of them disappear, everyone will definitely suspect me because I am the one who benefits the most.
It was because my third brother wanted to have the advantage of himself that he set his sights on Yueyue without consulting me, and his plan was exposed, so I had no choice but to come up with this roundabout way."
"Boss, don't worry. Second sister's house and land will definitely belong to ours in the end."
The next day, Lin Wan took a sewing basket and a piece of torn clothing and went out to chat with people and spread rumors.
Three days later, Shen Yan came again. According to Lian Yi's request, he gave the village chief a positive reply and sent the letter of appointment in advance.
Originally, the letter of engagement was sent when paying the betrothal gift, but Lian Yi didn't want to make any mistakes, so she sent the letter of engagement directly and asked Shen Yan to register it with the government after returning, making the matter a foregone conclusion.
After the Naji was over, most people in the village knew that Miss Su from Sujiazhuang had given Mingge'er a letter of engagement and the marriage had been preliminarily arranged.
There were envious and jealous people in the village. There were also some discordant voices saying that the two had been hooking up during the mourning period. Wen Zhaoming had even given himself to Miss Su in order to get rid of his identity as a farmer's son. Anyway, the rumors were very unpleasant.
After hearing this, Wen Jiahong guessed that it was Aunt Wen who did it. This person is so narrow-minded and can't stand others doing well.
"Mother, what do you think we should do about this?"
"Didn't I tell you last time that if you tell Miss Su about this, she will find a way to handle it."
“It’s not like there’s no chance of that happening, so.”
"Then find a chance to go to Sujiazhuang in the next two days."
The village chief waved his hand and said.
"I understand. I'm sorry to have caused my mother to worry."
It was seven days later when the news reached Lian Yi's ears. After hearing the news, she smiled disdainfully and said to An He:
"Go find Su Zhuangtou."
"Yes, ma'am."
Su Wu trotted all the way to the main house, sweating on his back.
"Miss, what do you want?"
"Are there any tenants in the village from Wenjia Village?"
"Yes, there are two or three families."
"Find them something to do. Go visit the neighbors in Wenjia Village and find out who is spreading the rumors. If you find out, there will be a reward."
Ripple said casually.
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
An He took Su Zhuangtou out of the house, then told him the rumors in detail and asked him to do it as soon as possible.
"Tsk, these gossipy men even dare to gossip about the young lady. They are really tired of living."
When Su Zhuangtou heard this, he was so angry that he immediately went to look for the tenants in the village.
Three days later, Aunt Wen, who was happily drinking wine at home, suddenly received the news that her eldest daughter had lost a lot of money in the Qingshan Casino and was now locked up in the casino. She immediately became restless.
"This bastard, isn't he doing odd jobs in the county to earn money? Why is he gambling?"
"I don't know about that. Anyway, the people from the gambling house told me to tell you that if you want your daughter to come back safe and sound, you'd better bring money to redeem her."
Wen Xiaoxiao said while wiping her nose.
"It was you! You led her to the gambling house?"
Aunt Wen shouted harshly.
"Bah! I don't recognize her! She entered the gambling house earlier than me. I recognized her when she was detained. I asked her a few more questions out of kindness, thinking that if she didn't lose much, I would shamelessly protect her. After asking, I found out that she owed fifty taels!"
"What?"
Aunt Wen's voice rose by two points.
"Anyway, I've got your message. It's up to you whether you go to protect your daughter or not."
Wen Xiaoxiao said this and turned and left.
Lin Wan immediately jumped out from the inner room, took Aunt Wen's arm and said:
"Boss, you have to save your daughter!"
"How much money do you have at home?"
"About thirty taels."
"Take it with you first, and then act accordingly when you get to the gambling house!"
"I'll go with you."
Lin Wan immediately turned around and went back to the house, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find the silver, put it in a bundle, and hurried to Qingshan County on the snow.
Five days passed in a flash, and the constable came to Wenjia Village again. When the village chief saw the familiar face, his eyebrows twitched and he felt that nothing good was going to happen.
"Detective Sun, why are you here in the snow? Is there something important?"
"Is there a woman named Aunt Wen in your village? Her husband is Lin Wan, and their eldest daughter is Wen Wanqing."
Constable Sun didn't want to go out in such cold weather, but someone had died, so she had to come.
"There are indeed these people in our village. What happened to the three of them?"
The village chief patted his chest before continuing to ask.
"The three of them rented a horse-drawn carriage to go back to the village. As they had to travel overnight, the horse that was pulling the carriage got scared and ran away. The carriage flipped over and the three of them fainted. When someone found them, they were already frozen solid."
Detective Sun spoke concisely.
"What?"
The village chief was also shocked.
"Send someone to go with me to identify the body!"
"I'll let my daughter go with you."
The village chief said immediately.
Wen Jiahong, who was standing by, had not yet recovered from her shock and only reacted after being called twice.
"Oh? Yeah, okay! I'll go now."
After Constable Sun and his men left, Wenjia Village was in an uproar again.
When Wen Zhaoming heard the news, he was stunned for a moment. He was neither sad nor happy. He just received the news of a stranger's death on a very ordinary day.
Wen Jiahong went to identify the bodies, and the three members of Aunt Wen's family were deemed to have died in an accident. In the end, it was the nephew Wen Zhaoming who came forward and arranged the funeral for the three. Now there is only a daughter and a son left in Aunt Wen's family, who are the same age as Yueyue and are even more confused than Wen Zhaoming was at the beginning.
The aftermath of this incident had not subsided until the beginning of spring. Everyone said that the Wen family had offended the gods, otherwise they would not have fallen to this point. Only Ming Ge'er knew that this was retribution for Aunt Wen.
Another major event after the beginning of spring was that Miss Su from Sujiazhuang took her fiancé and his sister to Sujiazhuang for a short stay.
See you tomorrow~
