Seeing that she, Shufan, and Pan'er were all alright, everyone's previous worries were put aside, and upon hearing this, they all felt a chill.
A group of people rubbed their hands together, crossed their arms, and either went home or followed Jiang Qinyu to Old Lu's house. Anyone who didn't know better would think something terrible had happened.
Jiang Qinyu originally intended to rest after her journey back, but seeing the worried looks in Village Chief Li's and the others' eyes, she changed her mind.
After instructing Yunzhu and Hupo to take Shufan and Pan'er back to the next house, Jiang Qinyu then told Chen Shi, Village Chief Li, and others about what had happened.
Those who came with the Lu family were all genuinely close to Jiang Qinyu and the Lu family, so Jiang Qinyu didn't particularly avoid anything.
"I was indeed careless at the time and fell into that woman's trap..." Jiang Qinyu sighed.
She herself had reviewed the incident. If she had been more vigilant when she met Yu Hanyan and been prepared to hide in her spatial dimension at any time, this incident would not have happened.
Hearing this, Meng Tianze spoke up disapprovingly, "Sister-in-law, you can't say that. If someone is trying to scheme against you, even if you can dodge it once, you can't dodge it every time."
“Exactly,” Village Chief Li agreed. “Just like you suspected they might be selling furs in the county town to attract our attention. If it weren’t for what happened later, who would have thought?”
Madam Chen nodded and said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, this isn't your fault, but I'm still worried about you going out alone in the future..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Qinyu grabbed her hand and said, "Mother, Brother Zheng has already sent Vice General Qin back with me."
She already had a top-notch expert, A Ping, by her side, and now with the addition of a strategist like Qin Shen, unless she deliberately courts death or fate truly decides to destroy her, she shouldn't have any safety issues.
Only after being reminded did Chen remember that she seemed to have seen Qin Shen earlier, but he was not in the house at the moment and must have gone to the next room. "At least he still knows how to care for his wife."
"Alright, now that my niece is alright, let's go back and let her rest. The new people are moving in tomorrow, aren't they? We still have a lot to do!" Village Chief Li said to everyone as he stood up, seeing that everything was settled.
Meng Tianze, Li Dachui, Liu Erleng and others took their leave one after another, and soon only the Lu family remained.
Old Lu looked at Jiang Qinyu and said, "Come over for meals in the next couple of days. Your mother and Amber will cook. You can rest for a few more days."
Jiang Qinyu did not refuse his kindness and nodded, saying, "Okay, thank you, Father."
Old Lu nodded, went out into the yard, picked up his hoe, and went out.
In fact, the fact that the Lu family has been able to live peacefully for so many years is largely due to Old Man Lu. When it is his turn to speak up, he never backs down, and when it is not his turn to speak out, he can remain silent like a sawed gourd.
Just like now, he is concerned about Jiang Qinyu, thinking that she might have suffered outside, so he is worried that she is not eating well next door with the child, and asks her to come over for dinner.
When Jiang Qinyu came out of the main room, she saw Chen Xiuer standing at the kitchen door, but her eyes looked rather gloating.
"Oh, cousin-in-law, you're finally back!" Chen Xiuer wiped her eyes feigning concern. "Your aunt and uncle were so worried about you while you were missing, but... they weren't worried about your safety!"
Jiang Qinyu knew what she wanted to say without even thinking, so she ignored her and slowly walked to the next room.
“Sister-in-law, I didn’t want to say this either, but…” Chen Xiuer deliberately glanced in the direction of the main room, took a few quick steps to stand in front of Jiang Qinyu, and blocked her way.
Jiang Qinyu twitched her lips. "What do you want to say?" Before Chen Xiuer could react, she raised her hand and patted her shoulder, then leaned close to her ear and said, "No matter what you want to say, I'm not in the mood to listen right now. I'll just have to trouble you to hold it in for now, cousin."
After saying this, Jiang Qinyu let go of her hand, walked past her, and quickly left the courtyard.
Chen Xiuer opened her mouth, but to her horror, she found that she couldn't make a sound!
Chen Xiuer kept opening her mouth wide, trying to scream and shout, but she couldn't make a sound!
Only then did she realize that after Jiang Qinyu patted her shoulder, she couldn't make a sound, so Jiang Qinyu did it? How could she do that?
Just as Chen Xiuer was questioning her life, Jiang Qinyu was also feeling sorry for her. It was such a waste that she had spent 66 points to buy it, and to use it on Chen Xiuer was truly a waste.
She originally bought these talismans to deal with Jiang Chengyou and his gang, but they weren't used in the end, were they?
In addition, she really didn't want to listen to Chen Xiuer's sarcastic remarks, so she used her without much consideration.
Jiang Qinyu felt it was a waste of money the more she thought about it, and secretly made a decision in her heart: she had to make Chen Xiuer earn back those 66 points!
...
The following day, because it was the day the new villagers were moving in, no one in Dingshui Village went out.
Jiang Qinyu went with Village Chief Li to check on the newly built house early in the morning. After confirming that there were no problems, she returned to the village for breakfast.
The new homesteads are located on both sides of the former village entrance. They are built in a row, neat and beautiful, with each family living close by, but without disturbing each other in their daily lives.
“We sold these houses to them at market price, and it didn’t matter whether they paid in full or in advance a deposit, or even rent. In short, each of the 120 new households got their own house.”
On the way back, Village Chief Li was still explaining to Jiang Qinyu that this was the plan they had agreed upon beforehand.
"Did nothing go wrong when we were selecting people?" Jiang Qinyu asked after thinking for a moment.
She is quite concerned about this issue.
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Li shook his head and said, "There weren't any major problems. It's just that the village heads of those big villages didn't want their people to come over, but some of them wanted to join our village, which caused a little unpleasantness, but it's all been resolved."
Jiang Qinyu nodded, "That's good."
It seems that during her absence, Village Chief Li and the others have really had a hard time, not only searching for her but also doing so much else.
"Has the magistrate given any new instructions?" Jiang Qinyu asked again before parting.
She hadn't had time to meet with Wei Chengzong yet, and didn't know what stage the expansion plan for Dingshui Village was at.
Village Chief Li laughed and said, "The county magistrate is very satisfied with what we've done. He didn't say anything bad about it and even said he'll find a way to allocate some money to our village so we can build a market!"
"Build a market?" Jiang Qinyu's eyes lit up. "That's a great thing!"
Village Chief Li chuckled and said, "Of course! After the news of building the market got out, the people in those big villages were kicking themselves..."
