Mengyue could hear the village chief's grievance, anger, and feeling of helplessness from his crying.
She did not stop the village chief from crying, but squatted there and waited for the village chief to finish crying.
The village chief covered his face with his hands and cried for a while, then stopped.
He knew that now was not the time to cry, not to mention that there were things to deal with. He couldn't let himself delay everyone else's business.
Besides, he was the village chief of Xingying Village, and it would be embarrassing for him to cry in front of thousands of people.
But he really couldn't help it. From the moment Zhu Lei brought people to the village until all the grain in the granary was moved away, he was extremely angry, but there was no way to stop it.
No one knew better than him how important the grain in the granary was to Xingxi Village. But even though he was the village chief of Xingxi Village, he was essentially just an ordinary man with the surname Zhou. How could he dare to compete with the people under the command of the young lady of the Xiangfu?
He wanted to tell Master Liu that with the status, position and prestige of the King of Chen, it would be easy for him to get food, and there was no need to take it from the mouths of the old people like them.
But he didn't dare to say this, for he was afraid of retaliation. He didn't know whether these things would reach the ears of the King of Chen.
However, he was very clear about one thing, that is, it was easy to meet the King of Hell, but it was difficult to deal with the little ghosts. He was afraid that if he refused, Master Liu would become jealous and resentful, and he would bring people to cause trouble later.
But even if the people of Xingying Village and the other six villages were combined, they would not be able to resist the powerful and wealthy, and their villages might even be destroyed.
He didn't dare to gamble, even if it meant risking the lives of the entire village. Giving away food would only make the villagers' lives more difficult, but they would not die.
The important thing is that Master Liu also wants him to drive Mengyue out of the village. How is that possible? He would never do such a thing.
But he was also afraid that Master Liu would take revenge on the village because of this incident. Therefore, before Mengyue came back, he was always worried, as if there was a huge stone pressing on his chest, and he couldn't let it go.
It was not until Zhu Lei's words and the sight of the empty granary that he was so shocked that he vomited blood and fainted.
At the moment he fainted, he thought he would never wake up again and would not be able to protect Mengyue anymore.
Fortunately, Mengyue returned to the village in time and pulled him back from the hands of death, so he saved his life.
But at this moment, he saw Master Liu, and there was something wrong with the way he looked at Mengyue. He felt a little regretful. He should not be glad that Mengyue came back, but should stay as far away as possible.
"Yue girl, listen to what the village chief says. Go, go quickly, the farther the better, and never come back."
"Grandpa Village Chief, what are you talking about? You haven't woken up yet, so you can rest first and leave the rest to me."
"Yue girl, be obedient, the village chief will not harm you."
The village chief was very anxious seeing how stubborn Mengyue was and how she would not listen no matter how he tried to persuade her.
Then he turned to look at the couple, and said with a look of dismay, "Hurry up and persuade them to let Yue go."
In fact, An had wanted to talk to his daughter for a long time, but the village chief fainted, and Mengyue squatted down and started treating the patient as soon as she came back, so he had no chance to speak.
After the village chief spoke, he quickly walked to Mengyue and pulled Mengyue and his wife Wanniang aside.
"My daughter, the village chief is right. You shouldn't have come back, but there's nothing you can do now. If there's a conflict later, I'll stop it for you. Leave quickly, don't worry about the village, and never come back."
"Yueyue, your father is right. Let's go quickly and don't worry about the village." Mrs. Yun also tried to persuade her.
