Chapter 570 If you don’t want it anymore, no one else can touch it!
Xu Yu and Sang Zhixia had a rare few days of leisure, so they took advantage of their time in prison to live comfortably in this place where no one would disturb them.
But compared with their leisure, Lord Liu seemed too miserable.
Lord Liu really couldn't bear it any longer.
If things continued like this, Lord Liu couldn't help but worry that someone would come and set fire to the government office in the middle of the night.
Under Lord Liu's unhesitating expulsion and completely genuine farewell, Sang Zhixia and Xu Yu had to leave with regret, and Lord Liu had no intention of keeping them.
If it wasn't really inappropriate, Lord Liu would even want to pay out of his own pocket to hire a dragon and lion dancer to liven up the yamen gate. He really didn't dare to stay any longer.
Sang Zhixia, who had been detained by the government for many days, finally returned, but the atmosphere on the farm was not as good as before.
Because Sang Zhixia offended Lord Liu, he was suppressed by many parties, and the farm seemed to be unable to sustain itself.
It was late at night when Sang Zhixia arrived home. He did not care about the taboo of staying at home at night and sent someone to invite the village chief and several respected elders on the farm to his home to discuss the matter. The next day, he announced that he wanted to sell the farm.
The next day, Yun Gui, who had become the independent manager of the farm, heard the news and approached Sang Zhi Xia, unsure. With a pale face, he asked, "Boss, has it really come to this?"
"So many people on the farm are waiting for your decision. Now it's really..."
"There's no other way."
Sang Zhixia seemed extremely tired, her face pale and haggard. She lowered her eyes and said helplessly, "The government is giving me a hard time, causing trouble time and time again. It's like this now, and the situation will only get worse in the future."
"Going head-on with the government here is not a long-term solution."
Yungui opened his mouth hesitantly, and Mr. Qi, who was sitting next to him, said with a dark face, "If it doesn't work, cut your losses in time."
"Otherwise, I'll find a reason to arrest you and put you in jail for five days today, and tomorrow I'll find another excuse to take you to the county government office. Even if I can't find any logic in my interrogation, these back-and-forth tactics will be enough to disgust you to death!"
I'm not afraid of toads biting me, but I'm afraid of toads being disgusting.
People always say that the King of Hell is easy to deal with, but the little ghosts are hard to deal with. This principle should also apply here.
Yun Guina was puzzled and lowered his head in silence, unable to speak.
Sang Zhixia forced a smile and said, "It's not too late to get out of this quagmire before we get too deep into it."
"As long as you maintain your vitality, there will always be a chance to recover in the future."
Yun Gui looked like he wanted to say something, but Sang Zhi Xia waved his hand wearily: "Forget it, just do as I say."
Yungui returned empty-handed, and the news he brought back once again stirred up trouble on the already restless farm.
Different people responded differently to Sang Zhixia's desire to sell the farm.
Most of the people who were born and raised in the village felt regretful about this, but they were more concerned about what Sang Zhixia would do in the future.
Some people whose families were well-off even secretly came to give Sang Zhixia some money for working capital, hoping to help her get through the current difficulties.
Those who had received favors from Sang Zhixia continued to work quietly. After all, as long as the farm was alive, they would be busy here. Nothing would be decided until the final outcome.
There are also those who are mentally unstable. They are tempted by the generous benefits offered by Peng Yuanliang, but are also worried about their bleak future here. They say all kinds of things.
Sang Zhixia stayed indoors and seemed to no longer care what the outside world was saying.
Old Qi came back from a walk outside, his eyes narrowed as if pricked by a needle, and he said unhappily, "You don't see anyone at home, so why do you paint your face so white? Aren't you afraid of scaring people?"
Do the whole act.
In order to deceive people into believing that she was really forced into a desperate situation, Sang Zhixia specially asked Aunt Xie to make a few boxes of extremely white powder and send them to her. She applied the powder on her face every day and relied on this stuff to create a haggard look.
Mr. Qi found it annoying no matter how he looked at it.
"What's the big deal? Is it really that serious?"
Sang Zhixia said with a smile: "Do you think I am happy?"
Although this powder was specially made by Aunt Xie and used the best base materials, Sang Zhixia was not used to wearing powder. These days, she always felt like her face was covered with a thick layer of powder, which made her uncomfortable.
This step becomes necessary just to avoid being discovered.
Old Qi snorted in disdain, sat down and said, "Have you settled things with Nuonuo's wet nurse?"
Something went wrong with the wet nurse a few days ago, which directly led to the news at home reaching the ears of others.
A few words of gossip about children may seem insignificant, but today it may be about the children's shoes, socks, and clothes, but tomorrow it may be about something else.
Wang Jie, the young and naive man, foolishly bit someone else's hook, and Wang Laosan took the bait thrown by Yun Gui and was about to go fishing like a fisherman.
When Sang Zhixia takes action, he will fight the real culprit hiding behind the appearance.
Such hidden dangers must not be allowed to continue.
Sang Zhixia handed the brewed tea to Mr. Qi with both hands and whispered, "Xu Yu did it himself. I didn't interfere."
"But since this involves two children, Xu Yu will definitely be careful."
Mr. Qi nodded with a hint of satisfaction.
Xu Yu has always been ruthless towards outsiders, and with him taking action to clean up the mess, it will definitely be done cleanly.
Mr. Qi said, "It's better if you don't touch such filthy things."
"First clean up the dirt in the house, then look for someone to serve Nuonuo and Yuanbao. You'll definitely find someone you like."
"Actually, I don't plan to look for anyone else."
Sang Zhixia said with a smile: "He's almost one year old, and he can eat well on his own. There's no need to pamper him."
When I am at home, there are plenty of people to take care of the house and everyone is doing their best.
As for the outside...
Sang Zhixia slowly exhaled and said, "Peng Yuanliang is not a fool. He may not be able to see clearly for a while, but he will definitely not be able to see clearly for a long time."
"So Xu Yu and I have discussed it. Once this matter is settled, we will secretly go to Lingnan and not come back for the time being."
Old Qi's fingers holding the teacup curled slightly, as if surprised: "So soon?"
"Are you really ready to leave?"
"It has to be quick."
Sang Zhixia originally planned to wait until after this year's autumn harvest before setting off. This would give Xu Minghui enough time to take root in Lingnan and also give them time to finish their work.
But the situation is stronger than people.
The situation in Kyoto is becoming increasingly tense. Peng Yuanliang's movements in and out of the pass are becoming more and more conspicuous, and Jiang Yubai in Lingnan is also ready to go.
If the Northwest were really invaded by foreign enemies, or if war really broke out in the Central Plains, they would be forced into chaos here, which would have many disadvantages.
It is no longer suitable for them to linger here.
Sang Zhixia sighed helplessly, closed her eyes and said, "I've thought it through. I'll use this opportunity to escape and hand over all the businesses here to someone I trust."
"It would be best if the situation hasn't gotten out of control yet. If it does get to that point..."
"Even if I don't have time to witness the abundant harvest during the autumn, I will still order my people to burn down the granaries and everything in the fields if necessary."
Even if she doesn't want her things anymore, no one else can touch them!
