"Ruyi is right! If she hadn't taken the money, how could we have been taken away by the cripple? The cripple wouldn't have come to ask for money so openly. So who took the money? Wasteland? Hmph, let's go and see if she actually bought any land. Maybe all of this is just a hoax!"
"Yes, we must find out the truth!"
Su Shan is still in pain all over his body. He has been injured quite a few times recently, so he has no desire to get involved in this matter.
"Alright, you guys can go if you want, I'm not going!"
After watching Su Shan leave, Madam Su Chen didn't care about anything else and pulled her daughter along to follow him out.
Early in the morning, the weather was still quite cool, so everyone was in a hurry. Some went to the fields with hoes on their backs, while others gathered together to gossip.
Most people were talking about what happened yesterday, and almost all the topics revolved around Luo Yunhe.
"Hey, have you heard? Yesterday, Su Chenshi and Su Ruyi almost sold themselves to the cripple in the next village!"
"Really? Where did you hear this news? Is it true? How could someone as fierce as Su Chenshi be sold to a cripple?"
"Yes, don't talk nonsense."
"No mistake, no mistake. This morning I ran into the cripple, and he took a few people to the Su family."
Not long after, the cripple returned with the two men, carrying money in his hands. He seemed very happy, so I asked him a couple of questions.
Guess what happened?
"Stop beating around the bush and just tell me what happened. Do you think that cripple is so easily dismissed?"
"You wouldn't believe it, that cripple is desperate for a wife, but he's not short of money..." The old woman recounted everything the cripple had said to everyone.
Everyone was stunned; they never expected such a thing to happen.
Just then, Madam Su Chen appeared in their sight with Su Ruyi.
Upon seeing the mother and daughter arrive, everyone quieted down considerably, and even their eyes frequently fell on them. They were afraid that Su Chenshi would hear their earlier conversation and come over to scratch them.
Su Chenshi was so focused on finding out if Luo Yunhe had bought the wasteland that she didn't notice the stares of the villagers.
He took Su Ruyi and headed straight for the wasteland.
"Quick, quick, quick! My intuition tells me something's about to happen again. Something's off about Su Chenshi's eyes!" A woman immediately stood up and chased after Su Chenshi and the others in the direction they had left.
Seeing that there was excitement and that no one was talking anymore, the others quickly followed.
The wasteland in the northwest.
Upon arriving, Luo Yunhe immediately got to work without saying a word. There were just too many weeds; he had cleared a small portion yesterday and was continuing to clear them today.
She left the weeds scattered all over the place yesterday. Although they were already wilted, they still need to be cleaned up again.
Today she learned her lesson and arranged the weeds neatly after pulling them out, making them easier to pick up when throwing them away.
She was diligently clearing weeds from the field when a large group of people approached from a distance.
"Mother, look... it really is that damned little bitch. Could it be that she really bought that piece of wasteland?"
From afar, Su Chenshi could see Luo Yunhe's figure busily working in the wasteland.
"Damn it, that wretched little bitch, using money to buy a wasteland, what a waste!"
"Mother, although it's a wasteland, it's quite large, so it must have cost a lot of money. Maybe that day was..."
"Hey, Su Chenshi, isn't that the wife your eldest son bought? Why is she busy in the wasteland?"
Those who followed behind, upon seeing this scene, all craned their necks to look into the ground.
Some of them were men from yesterday.
Because they had already been lectured by their wives when they got home yesterday, they didn't dare to crowd around them today and could only stare at that pretty figure from afar.
"I heard from the village chief that this piece of wasteland has been sold. Could it be that your wife bought it?"
"Oh dear, spending so much money to buy a piece of wasteland is such a waste! What can you grow on this? You can't grow anything!"
The villagers behind them were all talking amongst themselves.
"Mother, she said that the money she borrowed from Wang Laipi might not be true!" Su Ruyi always felt that the money to buy the land must have been the money that Luo Yunhe got from the cripple.
"Let's go to town and ask Wang Laipi!"
The two angry men didn't care about the villagers behind them at all. They were about to leave after they finished speaking when an old woman blocked their way.
“Su Chenshi, you don’t need to go. You want to ask if your daughter-in-law borrowed money from Wang Laipi?”
Believe it or not, I actually saw Wang Laipi leaving with his men on the edge of the village yesterday.
"Your family is in for trouble. That Wang Laipi is notoriously difficult to deal with. Now you're actually asking him for money? Are you out of your mind?"
"That's right, you all know how ruthless Wang Laipi is, how could you possibly borrow money from him?"
Su Chenshi and Su Ruyi originally believed that Luo Yunhe must have gotten the money to buy a piece of land from the cripple, but after hearing what the villagers said, their doubts disappeared immediately.
"You...you really saw it?"
"I see him, it's Wang Laipi, the scoundrel who lends money to others and charges interest. Everyone knows him, right? He's ruthless, so don't mess with him!"
"That's right! If you mess with him, your family will never have peace for the rest of their lives; the interest rates are terrifyingly high..."
Su Chenshi and Su Ruyi looked very unpleasant.
They moved their lips as if to say something, but ultimately said nothing and left dejectedly.
Luo Yunhe knew nothing about this and was still working hard in the field.
The villagers left one after another, but some men were reluctant to leave.
Luo Yunhe worked until noon before tidying up briefly, throwing the grass at the edge of the field, and heading home.
As soon as she got home, she felt that the house was so quiet.
This quiet made her feel a little uncomfortable. After all, it would be a miracle if Su Chenshi, that loud and boisterous person, didn't cause her any trouble.
She got some water and washed her hands. After working yesterday and today, she had two blisters and several cuts on her hands.
Although his hands were badly mangled, Luo Yunhe didn't care. He was about to go to the kitchen to find something to eat when he heard footsteps outside.
Su Jingxuan returned, carrying the opened prey in his hand.
