Chapter Twenty-One: Forced to Leave Qingyun Village
"How dare you!" The Jiang family members who had just come out of the house immediately protected Jiang Mi upon hearing Village Chief Yang's words. Jiang Yan even picked up a hoe and glared angrily at the people of Qingyun Village.
“Jiang Cheng, don’t make a mistake. Killing your Jiang Mi would allow everyone to live a peaceful and healthy life. Sacrificing one person for the happiness of thousands of families is a great thing. How can you be so unreasonable? Don’t worry, as long as Jiang Mi can sacrifice herself, we will definitely burn more incense and paper money for her so that she can leave in peace.”
"Bullshit! You say my honey is possessed by an evil spirit and she's possessed? You actually believed that sorceress's nonsense? If she told you to die, why didn't you die? If you had died, I'd burn you extra paper money." Jiang's mother put her hands on her hips and launched into a tirade against the villagers who had said this.
“Auntie…” Yang Liu wanted to say something at this moment, but was interrupted by Jiang’s mother with a wave of her hand: “You have no right to speak here, and I don’t want to hear your filth. Now swallow the filth in your mouth.”
Yang Liu looked at Jiang's mother with a pitiful expression: "Auntie, I really did this for your own good. If Jiang Mi is willing to sacrifice her own life, this..."
"Shut up!" Mother Jiang rolled her eyes, then swept her gaze across the crowd: "A bunch of short-sighted fools, just parroting what others say. My Honey isn't a demon; she's the lucky star of our Jiang family. If you want to hurt her, you'll have to get over me first!"
Jiang Mi, who was protected in the circle, also sneered at this moment, walked out of the circle, picked up the carrying pole from the door, and walked towards Yang Liu.
"What are you doing! Murder is illegal!" Yang Liu retreated into the crowd behind her, but the crowd immediately dispersed, exposing Yang Liu. Now that Yang Liu had been targeted by that fat woman Jiang Mi, they didn't want to be her scapegoats.
Jiang Mi took a step forward: "Since you call me an evil spirit, I'd really be unworthy of that title if I didn't do some evil spirit things!"
"Jiang Mi! Stop!"
Just as Jiang Mi was about to smash the carrying pole over Yang Liu's head, Village Chief Yang objected, rushed forward, stood in front of Yang Liu, and grabbed the carrying pole that Jiang Mi was about to throw down.
At this moment, when Village Chief Yang thought of the scene where Jiang Mi casually pushed the head constable away, he was terrified. However, he couldn't just stand by and watch the person he had worked so hard for and was about to win over be smashed away by Jiang Mi with a carrying pole. So he mustered up his courage and grabbed the carrying pole that Jiang Mi was about to smash down.
The moment his hand grasped the carrying pole, his expression turned strange, because Jiang Mi's carrying pole had no strength at all.
He quickly snatched the carrying pole, threw it on the ground, and frowned as he said to Jiang Mi, "As long as your family leaves Qingyun Village, I will forgive and forget what happened in the past."
After saying this, Village Chief Yang looked at the other villagers and asked, "What do you all say?"
“Jiang Mi is an evil spirit, she must be burned to death. We cannot ruin our feng shui because of her. What if something happens to our family in the future? I do not agree to let the Jiang family leave. If anyone in the Jiang family dares to stop us, we will burn them all down.”
"Village chief, Granny Zhou said that Jiang Mi is an evil spirit. If we let her go, who will be responsible if something happens to our village?"
"Burn Jiang Mi to death!"
Burn the evil spirits!
In the end, their shouts all boiled down to one sentence: "Burn her!"
The village chief was now in a difficult position.
If Jiang Mi is really angered, once she gets angry, probably no one can stop her.
Apart from…
Village Chief Yang looked at Huo Ran, who was standing behind Jiang Mi with a sullen face due to the villagers' disturbance.
"You don't want them, but I do!" Just as the villagers were getting excited, a rough voice came from behind them, instantly drowning out the volume of the villagers and making everyone look back.
Upon seeing this burly man, many people in Qingyun Village couldn't help but darken their faces.
Village Chief Yang's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant: "Wishing you a bright future, this is a matter for our Qingyun Village, it has nothing to do with you."
"Bullshit! You're about to kill my granddaughter, and you still say it has nothing to do with me! Get the hell out of here!" Zhu Qiancheng pushed aside the villagers blocking his way and sneered at Village Chief Yang: "Since your Qingyun Village doesn't want my granddaughter's family, let them come to our Hongyang Village."
After speaking, Zhu Qiancheng looked at Jiang Cheng: "Son-in-law, what do you think?"
Jiang Cheng glanced at the villagers of Qingyun Village who were glaring angrily at his family, and at his own house, which was now a mess: "We're moving."
"Alright! Then pack your things and come back to Hongyang Village with me." As the village chief of Hongyang Village, Zhu Qiancheng could get people into the village as long as he made the decision.
"Wishing you a bright future!" Although Village Chief Yang wanted to drive the Jiang family away, he didn't want to do it this way. Seeing that the Jiang family members were about to go back to their house to pack their things, Village Chief Yang couldn't stand it anymore. He quickly stopped Zhu Qiancheng and glared at him angrily: "Are you trying to provoke a conflict between Qingyun Village and Hongyang Village?"
Zhu Qiancheng rolled his eyes and shoved Village Chief Yang aside: "Hey Yang, if you keep babbling on, believe me, I'll give you two slaps right here and now. You've got a taste of bullying my daughter's family, do you really think no one can deal with you?"
Zhu Qiancheng swept his sharp gaze across the crowd of people in Qingyun Village and said, "I'm telling you right now, if anyone dares to stop my daughter and her family from leaving Qingyun Village, I'll kill them!"
After saying that, he grabbed Village Chief Yang's clothes and said, "Write me a release order right now."
In this era, although a village chief can allow others to settle in his village, a permit written by the resident's original village is still required for them to register their residence.
Village Chief Yang wanted to persist for a while, but Zhu Qiancheng whispered in his ear, "You, surnamed Yang, do you really think I don't know your true relationship with that county magistrate? If I expose your true relationship, do you think he can still sit securely in his position as county magistrate?"
Upon hearing the words "Wishing you a bright future," Village Chief Yang froze.
How could he possibly know?
"Write! I'll write it right now!" Village Chief Yang snapped out of his daze and hurriedly said in a trembling voice.
"Village chief, we can't let this evil spirit leave! It will bring misfortune to our Qingyun Village!"
When the villagers saw Village Chief Yang heading home, they repeatedly tried to stop him.
When Village Chief Yang saw that the villagers had blocked his way, his face darkened. He then went to Zhou the fortune teller and said, "Tell them if there is any way to resolve this matter."
These threatening words made Granny Zhou tremble slightly, and she nodded repeatedly: "Yes, as long as we drive them out of the village, I can perform a ritual and ensure the safety of my Qingyun Village forever."
