Chapter 31 Preparations for Planting the Double Ninth Tree (Part 2)



Old Man Ji felt that these days were not easy. People in the village were talking about something one after another: "Have you heard? I heard that the twins in the Ji family are not Old Man Ji's, but Li Chunhua's godbrother's."

"No way? Why did Li Chunhua marry Old Man Ji?" someone asked. Old Man Ji was ten years older than Li Chunhua and had no skills. How did he end up marrying her?

"You don't understand. It's all because of Ji Huangquan. Ji Huangquan is so capable. Back then, so many girls from the village and the neighboring village wanted to marry Ji Huangquan because he could make money and was quick-witted. Look at how well Feng Biluo lived after marrying into the Ji family. She gets new clothes and everything else in matching sets."

"Yes, if you ask me, after Li Chunhua married into the Ji family, look how well her daughter has grown up, plump and healthy. When Li Chunhua and Lu Zhaodi first came, she was skin and bones, looking quite unkempt. But after years of being raised by Ji Huangquan, she's become incredibly healthy and well-fed. Now that Ji Huangquan is gone, her true colors have been revealed. I heard that she was secretly seeing her sworn brother in the fields the other day." Old Man Ji was deeply distressed when he heard this.

Actually, Old Man Ji himself never understood Ji Huangquan. From a young age, the child had a strong sense of self-reliance. He was born just when the world was in great chaos.

Later, when they encountered the ghost, the other party was able to deal with it very cleverly. Also, even though others ate tree leaves, his family never lacked food. Of course, Old Man Ji didn't care about any of this.

Given the circumstances, they assumed that other families were in similar situations, unaware of how many people in the village envied Old Man Ji. Old Man Ji was a muddle-headed person, and after meeting Li Chunhua, he became involved with her.

Li Chunhua was only in her early twenties at the time. Because the old man was eating well, even though she didn't see any food, she could tell from his demeanor that he wasn't lacking in food.

So she decided to marry into the Ji family. Li Chunhua did not make the wrong choice. After marrying into the Ji family, her life became much better. Later, Ji Huangquan died in an accident.

After Ji Huangquan died, the family's life plummeted, and they had nothing to eat. When the compensation money arrived, they immediately hatched a plan to make Feng Biluo die in childbirth. It was obvious that Old Man Ji had made the most despicable choice.

Upon hearing that the twins weren't his, Old Man Ji was incredibly distressed. Looking at those people, he said, "Don't talk nonsense."

"We're talking nonsense? Then tell me, what does Li Chunhua want from you? Is it your looks? You're not good-looking at all." Ji Huangquan said that he really did have a genetic mutation, and he didn't look like the old man Ji at all, but he looked a lot like Ji Huangquan's mother, but even more handsome and refined.

Hearing this, Old Man Ji felt extremely uncomfortable. When those people said, "You say we're talking nonsense, then let me ask you, would you become someone else's god-sister for no reason?" Old Man Ji's face immediately turned ugly.

However, he couldn't help but have his doubts. When Old Man Ji got home, Li Chunhua scolded him, "It's all your fault! You're such a fool! All the money was taken by that little bitch Feng Biluo. What are we, mother and son, supposed to do?"

Upon hearing this, Old Man Ji looked at Li Chunhua. Li Chunhua was a beauty, and when he married her, she was only in her early twenties, so he was overjoyed at the time.

Not long after the ghost left, she became pregnant and gave birth to twins. She was overjoyed at the time, but now, thinking about it, she looked at Li Chunhua and asked, "What is your relationship with your godbrother?"

"Why are you asking this?" Li Chunhua's eyes flashed. "So, you actually suspect me of having an affair with my brother? You heartless bastard, you don't suspect anything, but you suspect me."

Li Chunhua immediately shouted, and when she heard this, Old Man Ji looked at Li Chunhua and said, "I'm sorry, I just heard it from people outside. It's all my fault, I'm sorry, I won't do it again."

He immediately began to explain, regretting listening to what was being said outside. When he heard this, Li Chunhua still wouldn't let it go. Under such circumstances, Old Man Ji really thought he had misunderstood Li Chunhua.

However, Li Chunhua felt a bit scared. Who was spreading such nonsense outside? In this era, there were still quite a few people who had been drowned in pig cages.

When a man comes back and says he wants a divorce, he can say he opposes arranged marriage. When a woman says she wants a divorce, she is accused of being unchaste. This is how things are done in this era. Although the old man Ji seems spineless, Li Chunhua is also afraid that he might find out something.

Feng Biluo was naturally paying attention to the Ji family's affairs. She herself had spread the rumors, but they weren't true rumors; they were based on facts. Only Old Man Ji was blind.

It's hard to believe that every time Li Chunhua's godbrother came, he would flirt with her, almost cheating on her in front of her. That's how it was in the original owner's memories, and Ji Huangquan probably knows it too.

To Feng Biluo's surprise, Ji Huangquan didn't seem to remind her. Feng Biluo thought this was probably revenge, or maybe he didn't care. But it was good, she believed that no man could bear to be cuckolded, especially since the child might not be his.

Once the time is right, he'll give it another kick, and then the other party will have to pay for the original owner's life. That's Feng Biluo's plan.

Feng Biluo had already started planning before Li Chunhua came out, just waiting for Li Chunhua to fall into the trap herself.

In fact, the rumors and gossip only gave Feng Biluo the first part of the sentence, and did not guide the following part. This is because people love gossip too much. They will split a sentence into several meanings in an instant and then process it in all sorts of ways, to the point that it is impossible to sort it out.

The wine made from the fruit of the *Chongyangmu* tree on Feng Biluo's side is almost ready. It tastes quite good, sweet and sour, very suitable for women to drink, and the alcohol content is not high, and the taste is extremely good.

Feng Biluo planned to wait for the Chongyang wood fruit wine before going to Village Chief Feng to finalize the planting of the Chongyang wood. As for the matter between Li Chunhua and Old Man Ji, Feng Biluo planned to put it aside for now and wait until the matter had fermented to a certain extent before taking action. Spring was a busy season.

Moreover, the flood was drawing ever closer, and they needed to quickly devise a way to minimize the losses. As for other villages, Feng Biluo could honestly say that she couldn't even convince everyone in her own village to plant *Chongyangmu* immediately, let alone other villages. Going there would be a waste of time; she, Feng Biluo, wouldn't do anything futile.
