Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 1703 The Elder Looking for Trouble

"What can we do? The world is going to be in chaos. We won't be affected, right?"

"Who knows, but when the emperor arrives in Beiyu City, the new emperor will be enthroned in the capital. He might want to fight back. We are not far from Beiyu City."

"Will there be a military conscription? Or increase taxes?"

"..."

Many people in the village stopped going to the fields and gathered near the village chief's house to discuss the matter. The village chief's house was also full of people, and the elders gathered together to discuss the major event they had just learned about.

"I asked why Bai Yihong's family came back. I'm afraid they came back with the emperor. His Erlang didn't come back. He should be staying with the emperor in Beiyu City." said an elderly village leader.

Another elder said dissatisfied: "Bai Yihong, too. Why didn't you tell us about such a big thing first? At least we have an idea. Elder Wang, he didn't tell you either?"

Elder Wang showed a displeased look, "No matter what time, it is best to talk less about state affairs. Regardless of whether my in-laws know it or not, he is right not to spread it everywhere."

The village chief also nodded, "Perhaps the emperor has given an order not to spread this information indiscriminately. The Bai family also acted in accordance with the order. Everyone must understand."

Everyone nodded, the emperor's order cannot be violated, and none of them would dare to say anything nonsense.

"Then what should we do now? They say the sky is high and the emperor is far away, but now there are two emperors, and there is another one right here. It really won't have any impact on us, right?" Elder Feng asked.

"It shouldn't happen. I heard that the emperor is a benevolent king. Otherwise, Prince Rui would not be given a chance to survive, and there would be no restrictions on rebellion." Someone said.

The village chief Wang Shugen coughed lightly and said, "Okay, don't discuss government affairs unreasonably."

The elder who spoke shrank his neck. It was really hard to say much, and it was rare for people here to keep their mouths shut.

Mr. Wang Qi said nothing because he was related to the Bai family by marriage. At this time, his point of view was likely to be caught and said to be the Bai family's intention.

But Elder Feng seemed to be worried all the time and continued: "I heard that the emperor suffered heavy losses and Prince Rui ascended the throne on March 1st. If there is a real attack from now on, will our village be labeled as traitors? "

The old village chief glared at him, "If the village doesn't participate in state affairs, how can it be labeled as a traitor? Elder Feng, you think too much."

"Why not?" Elder Feng snorted, "We ordinary farmers don't care about these things, but there are people in the village who are working for the emperor. I heard that they donated their property to support the emperor. But once the new emperor comes, the war will be fierce." Are we not allowed to burn our village?"

Everyone fell silent for a while, everyone had their own thoughts.

Elder Wang stared at Elder Feng. He didn't see that Elder Feng was so afraid of trouble. Is this probably aimed at the Bai family?

"The Bai family has not lived here for a long time. Elder Feng's worries are unnecessary. He is saying that the emperor is the orthodox one. If he is not loyal to the emperor, how can he be loyal to the traitors? Elder Feng, these words of yours are treasonous." Elder Wang said quietly, his voice not loud. , but it was like a heavy hammer hit Elder Feng.

"Mr. Wang, are you talking to your in-laws? If the Bai family were not your in-laws, how could you say such a thing?" asked Mr. Feng.

Elder Wang widened his eyes, "Even if it has nothing to do with my family, I still want to say something fair!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, everyone hurriedly stopped them, and the meeting ended early.

But the matter did not end there. In the next two days, Elder Feng lobbied several elders to talk to the village chief and proposed that the Bai family move out of Houshan Village to avoid causing big trouble to the village.

Mr. Wang Qi personally went to the Bai family for this matter, and became very angry when he mentioned it. "That Feng Yingen is not a good person. He has been bothering you for a long time, but I can't figure out why he did this."

Bai Ruozhu burst out laughing when she heard the sound. Please forgive her for finding it funny when she heard Elder Feng's name.

She sent someone to check some information, but she didn't ask for Elder Feng's name. This was the first time she heard it, and it sounded like "pornographic"...

In fact, Mr. Feng Qi is the second eldest brother in the family, and his elder brother is named Feng Jingen. Many people in the village have never read a book, and they make a living by farming, so they only like roots, leaves, gold, silver, wealth and so on.

"Why are Ruozhu laughing?" Elder Wang looked at her in confusion.

Bai Ruozhu was a little embarrassed. She couldn't tell Elder Wang what she wanted, right?

"It's nothing, I just know why Mr. Feng targeted my family." Bai Ruozhu had no choice but to tell her what she had investigated.

It turned out that Elder Feng was somewhat related to the Zheng family next door, and he was resentful of the Bai family because of Zheng Guigui's affairs.

But can the Bai family be blamed for that?

When Bai Ruozhu was in confinement at home after giving birth, Sanlang came to the house to cause trouble and steal things while others in the second room were out. Fortunately, Bai Ruozhu escaped by hiding in the space. Later, when he got free time, he shouted for help, and the incident spread in the village.

Sanlang said at the time that Bai Ruozhu asked her to go there and deliberately frame him. No one believed it at first. Who has the time to harm people during confinement?

As a result, Zheng Guigui, the fourth girl from the Zheng family next door to the Bai family, spread gossip in the village, saying that Bai Ruozhu asked her to help call Sanlang over. After Bai Ruozhu finished confinement, she also exposed the matter. The Deng family where Zheng Guigui was engaged and Mrs. Zhu were distant relatives, so Mrs. Zhu asked Zheng Guigui to spread rumors about Bai Ruozhu.

So after the incident was revealed, Zheng Guigui was naturally despised by many people. When the Deng family to whom she was originally engaged heard about the incident, they felt that the little girl had evil intentions, so they canceled the marriage.

Zheng Guigui has become a divorced daughter, and it is not easy to marry her anymore. The old lady of the Bai family's old house got the opportunity and went to ask someone to propose marriage to the Zheng family. She wanted to tell Zheng Guigui to Sanlang, but at that time, Sanlang's leg was broken. If you still don’t know anything about Widow Zhou, it’s strange that the Zheng family would agree.

But the old lady is not a gas-efficient lamp. The whole village knows that everything has not been accomplished. Zheng Guigui helped Sanlang lie at the beginning, but now that the two families want to get married, they will have to be discussed.

So, the little girl couldn't figure it out and hanged herself. Fortunately, she was rescued by her family in time, but she hasn't said anything about getting married yet. She stays at home every day, and she seems to be in a bad mood.

Feng Qi had always watched Zheng Guigui grow up and liked his niece very much, so he resented the Bai family.

After listening to Bai Ruozhu's story, the Bai family were very surprised, because they didn't know what happened from the time Zheng Guigui was divorced to what happened next, because they had already moved at that time and didn't care about these little things.

"I would say that the girl is a little pitiful, but we are not to blame for this, right? If you harm others, you will harm yourself. This is retribution. Elder Feng also doesn't know the difference between right and wrong." Lin Ping'er said cheerfully.

Wang Qilao sighed, "This person, many times, is emotionally biased towards the people close to him, and he doesn't care about the rights and wrongs."
