Chapter 378 The Child's Malice
After the village chief finished speaking, he sighed deeply, then raised his eyes, looked at Xu Miaomiao and continued, "But now since I heard that you were demoted, Wang Buren has begun to tell every household that if anyone dares to have more contact with you, he will not let us go. You offended Wang Buren in the beginning, although it was for us and everyone, but you were also afraid. If you have any rude behavior towards Madam Xu, Madam Xu, don't mind it. We are just people from a small family and we really dare not go against Wang Buren."
Xu Miaomiao understood what he said, nodded at him, and said, "We will live a good life from now on. As long as they don't provoke me, I will naturally not do anything to them. They are afraid of us because we are scolded, which I can understand. Thank you for the reminder from Village Chief Wang today. Miaomiao will definitely do her duty in the future and will not make others worry."
After saying this, she bowed to the man and turned to leave.
The village chief Wang behind him shook his head at him. Xu Miaomiao was the one who brought them out of Bai County, but now they were treating her like this. She felt very uncomfortable.
But apart from this method, she really didn't dare to disobey Wang Buren's orders. Wang Buren was so arrogant, who knew what he would do if he was pushed into a corner.
Xu Miaomiao shook her head, turned around and left, returning to her room.
Seeing her return in a daze, Song Wushao immediately stepped forward and said, "We went to the village chief today, and they actually told us about it. Did the villagers dislike us because we were demoted? That's why they don't want to communicate with us any more."
Xu Miaomiao nodded when she heard what Song Shaoshao said, then tilted her head and looked at him curiously and asked, "How did you know?"
Song Wu Shao looked at Xu Miaomiao and smiled slightly, but did not say anything.
Xu Miaomiao thought that it was true. There was nothing that Song Wuwushao could not predict. It was very normal for him to be able to predict such a thing.
Xu Miaomiao did not answer Song Wushao's words. Instead, she sat on the chair and sighed: "I can understand them, but when I saw Aunt Li hiding from me today, I was really scared. I don't know why Wang Buren is targeting me like this. Although we were demoted by the government, we are still small officials in this line after all, and we also have some face. It's too much for them to treat us like this!"
When Song Wushao heard this, he took Xu Miaomiao into his arms and said, "The relationship here is very complicated. You don't understand it yet. I will teach you slowly in the future. Anyway, we have enough gold and silver now, so you don't have to say a few more words to them. If you are really angry, just go home early, don't listen to what they say, and don't care about their attitude. As long as our family is safe and stable, that's enough."
After hearing this, Xu Miaomiao nodded and snuggled in Song Wushao's arms. Although she had returned to Bai County, Xu Miaomiao still did not have a good sleep. She was always in a half asleep and half awake state. When the sky began to brighten, her sleepiness became even weaker. She heard the sound of a child talking in her ears again, and Xu Miaomiao immediately couldn't sleep anymore and sat up.
At first, she thought that Erbao was just playing in the yard, but after thinking about it, Erbao has always been a sleepy person and couldn't get up so early. Xiaobao is a self-disciplined person and gets up early every day to start reading, so it is impossible for him to get up so early. Xu Miaomiao walked up curiously. When she arrived at the yard, she didn't see the child, but only saw Gu Yuanniang alone, and there were two children standing in front of the yard.
Gu Yuanniang walked towards the two children with a candy cake in her hand.
Unfortunately, the children looked at her as if they were avoiding the plague god, and some even picked up stones and threw them at Gu Yuan's mother.
When Xu Miaomiao saw this, her heart tightened and she immediately held Gu Yuanniang in her arms. Now, Gu Yuanniang was pregnant with a child, and she absolutely could not let Gu Yuanniang get hurt.
When the two children saw Xu Miaomiao was coming, they immediately wanted to retreat, but the tall and thin boy who led the group stood up and pointed at Gu Yuan's mother and said, "Your family is a disaster. It's because of you that Wang Buren took all our land. It's all your fault. Our harvest this year is not so good. Dad and mom have to go to the mountains to hunt again. Dad lost an arm because of hunting in the mountains two years ago. Now, our family has no good days again. Why did you come back? You disaster stars."
As he spoke, the boy raised the stone and threw it again. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately hugged Gu Yuanniang. However, the stone fell solidly on Xu Miaomiao's shoulder. Seeing that someone was really injured, the boy was a little scared and immediately ran away.
Gu Yuanniang hugged Xu Miaomiao, her eyes full of shock and heartache. She quickly pulled her back into the house and tore off her clothes. She saw that her originally fair shoulders had turned blood red and even had blood stains.
Seeing this scene, she was almost startled and cried. She immediately picked up the medicine box and bandaged Xu Miaomiao: "How could this happen? When we left, the villagers lined the streets to welcome us and see us off. Now we are back. Even so, if it weren't for our pear orchard and cotton business, how could it be possible to make it? Why do you have to blame us now? And that child is really uneducated. How can he pick up stones and throw them at others at will? I don't know how their parents taught them. I just saw them playing here and took two pieces of candy cakes. Who knew they would do such a thing? It's simply too much. I must talk to their parents."
Xu Miaomiao immediately took Gu Yuanniang's hand, shook her head and said, "Okay, don't tell their parents. After all, we were demoted. It's understandable that they want to avoid suspicion and don't want to get into trouble. Why bother talking to them? We just need to live our own lives."
"Look at you, you're injured like this, how can you live a good life? I think those people have had too much sweetness and forgotten who they were. If it weren't for you, could they live the life they want? It's only because of you that they are still hunting in the mountains, and now they blame you." Gu Yuan's mother clicked her tongue and said dissatisfiedly.
