These words were very domineering, but at the same time they shattered the minds of the people around them.
No one could believe that Madam Liu was the Queen's sister and the Crown Prince's aunt... Their family was so powerful in Daliang that no one dared to say anything against them.
At that moment, everyone in the room fell silent. Even Xiang Lei's face turned pale and blue. He gathered his hands tightly and begged for mercy, but Han Ruyue did not give him the chance.
Instead, he apologized to Jiang Wuli who was standing beside him: "I'm sorry, Uncle Jiang. I was too impatient today and was looking for trouble at Jiang Xin's wedding banquet. But I really can't stand such mean people. Please don't bother with me."
Jiang Wuli supported her helplessly: "What are you talking about, my in-laws? You can stand up for my Jiang family, and it is my Jiang family that should be grateful to you. As for those insignificant people, you don't have to be really angry. There are too many people like that. It's more important to take care of your own health!"
Han Ruyue smiled and gave Xiaowu a wink. Xiaowu understood and took Xiang Lulu away with him, so that no one would feel sick and lose their appetite.
Ke Xin, who was outside the house, listened to what her mother-in-law said and was deeply moved.
Although Xiang Lulu seduced Liu Feiyang, seducing him in the Jiang family was really disrespectful to her family. It was beyond her expectation that her mother-in-law would stand up for her.
She glanced at Liu Feiyang and snorted coldly: "You have a face that invites people to commit crimes. Get out of the way and stop being an eyesore!"
Liu Feiyang: .....
He reached out and touched his face. He wasn't good-looking, so how could he seduce her?
After thinking about it, he shook his head secretly: These days, being handsome is also a crime, but can he be blamed for this?
The wedding banquet continued, but at the originally lively dinner table, several village heads were still talking unscrupulously. However, after hearing what Han Ruyue said, the atmosphere immediately changed, and everyone became very respectful to Jiang Wuli.
The latter saw this, but did not become arrogant because of this relationship. Instead, he said in a very humble manner: "Alas, we are all farmers, we all make a living by digging the land. There is no need for such talk. It was the same as before!"
Hao Chang laughed awkwardly: "Uncle Jiang is right. I have done something wrong in the past. Please forgive me, Uncle Jiang. Please don't take it to heart with a junior." After that, he raised his glass: "I'll drink first!"
Jiang Wuli waved his hand at him and said, "Sit down, sit down and talk. I'm not that petty." After saying that, he also drank a glass, which was both giving face to Hao Chang and trying to stop the conflict with him.
Jiang Wuli put down his wine glass and said with a smile, "To be honest, my Jiuer is not only the village chief, but also has the final say in all matters concerning my family. I have been the village chief for decades, but I haven't led everyone to prosperity. I am truly ashamed. Fortunately, my granddaughter is outstanding. In the future... if my granddaughter interacts with you, you should all be generous in helping me teach her."
Ding Jin, the head of Baying Village, quickly responded, "Uncle Jiang, what are you talking about? Kexin is your granddaughter, and she's also our junior. We'll naturally tell her everything we know, but... to be honest, your village is so busy, and seeing how things are going, we really can't help much. On the contrary, we need Kexin to help us!"
Ding Jin spoke frankly and straightforwardly, without hiding anything, and told everyone everything about why he came to attend the wedding banquet today.
Seeing this, the other village heads also nodded. Only Xiang Lei sat on the side dryly, feeling uneasy, and kept wondering whether Xiang Lulu's matter would bring bad luck to the whole family.
Quan Yang and Cao Fang from Donggou and Xigou villages also nodded and said, "Yes, yes, that's true. You know us in Donggou Village. We've always been honest farmers. We haven't been starving yet, but we haven't been well fed and clothed either. We've seen your village develop rapidly, so we wanted to see if there were any good housing development opportunities for us!"
After Quan Yang of Donggou Village expressed his opinion, Cao Fang of Xigou Village quickly followed up: "Yes, Uncle Jiang, we have known each other for many years. You have watched me, the village chief, rise to where I am today. You know my character. Our village is in the same situation as Donggou Village. See if you can lend a hand and help us!"
Bai Zhaocun saw that the other village heads had also expressed their opinions. He said something very practical: "Our village has the worst geographical location and is also the poorest. If Village Head Jiang can lead us to do something, as long as we can keep the villagers well fed and clothed, we will do whatever Village Head Jiang says. Even if the position of village head is given to Village Head Jiang, I am willing to give it up."
Jiang Wuli looked at everyone's eyes that were eager to change the status quo, and he also wanted to help these poor people, but there was not much water in the small river in front of his door, so how could he help others!
"I can't make the decision on this matter, but I will convey your wishes to Ke Xin. No matter what the result is, you should not bear grudges. After all, getting rich is to be rich in your own village. If the villagers in your own village can't even get enough to eat, how can you talk about other things? Don't you agree?"
Ding Jin: "Uncle Jiang's words make a lot of sense, and we all understand. Whenever you need help, just think of us!"
"We are all from the same town and neighboring villages. If we really need someone, we will definitely ask the people in our village to come first!"
Several village heads and Jiang Wuli were chatting lively and discussing their past relationships, but the discussion didn't last long when more than ten men in yamen runners' uniforms came into the yard, led by Wang Hu.
Jiang Kexin knew him. When she was selling food at South Wharf, he was the one who always protected her.
"Hello, Uncle Wang Hu!" Ke Xin stepped forward to greet him.
Wang Hu saw a young wife, dressed very elegantly, and roughly guessed her identity: "Mrs. Liu?"
Ke Xin smiled, revealing a pair of small canine teeth: "Uncle, just call me Ke Xin. I am also the village chief now."
She revealed her identity and asked, "I wonder why Uncle Wang brought these people here..."
Wang Hu glanced at her inconspicuously. Although he knew that Anjia Village had a new female village chief, this was the first time he saw her. He felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where she was.
He said in a cold voice, "Someone has reported Xiang Lei, the landlord of Lingjia Village. I'm here to arrest him. I'd like to ask Village Chief Jiang to help me."
It turned out that they were trying to capture Xiang Lei. Not only would she not stop him, she would also accompany him for ten miles.
"Uncle Wang has official business to attend to, so I won't stop him. If you need anything, just say a word and I'll find someone to help you!" He then led the way, "They're in this room, please follow me!"
Although Wang Hu didn't know what was going on, seeing that Jiang Kexin was sensible, he didn't say anything else. He followed her to the main hall. After confirming the people, he grabbed the third master of the Xiang family, blocked their mouths, and dragged them away in public.
