Chapter 154 Don't Think Others Are Idiots
Weren't the strong laborers in Changping Village arrested? Could it be that they also gave money to the government and were released? When Yang Biao thought of this, he felt that things were getting complicated.
He did not think he had done anything wrong. The people of Changping Village had always acted arrogantly. One must not be too aloof. As long as it is beneficial to one's own development, one should seize the opportunity. Even if one uses a little wisdom, it is very likely to bring oneself a better future.
"Hey, Brother Biao, you're finally here!" The headman, who had been made miserable by the woman of Changping Village, pushed through the crowd and walked towards Yang Biao as if he had seen a savior.
Today, someone in the village held a full-moon banquet, and the village head's wife went to help, so she was not at home. When the women of Changping Village arrived, they pulled the village head's clothes and asked him to give an explanation.
They couldn't understand why all the people from their village were arrested while the people from Yangjia Village were not hurt at all when people from the same two villages were fighting.
“What are you doing…” Those who came were all women from Changping Village. They came to Yangjia Village to make trouble because their sons or grandsons were arrested.
"Xiu Xiu, call all the old women and young wives in the village." The wife of the headman who came after hearing the news asked her daughter-in-law to call people. Those who came were all women from Changping Village. The men in the village could not take action, so the women in Yangjia Village could only take action.
"Hey, listen to me," seeing that bloodshed was about to happen, Yang Biao hurriedly asked the head of the village to bring out the gong and beat it.
When they heard the sound of the gong, everyone stopped immediately.
"Dear aunties, aunts, and sisters-in-law from Changping Village, your relatives have been captured by the government. It's no use coming to us." Yang Biao said to them loudly that they had to report the matter to the government.
"Why is it useless? Don't think we are all fools. It was you who asked the officials to arrest the person." A woman came out.
"This is He Shengkun's wife." The head of the village whispered to Yang Biao that this person was extremely aggressive and difficult to deal with.
"You are the wife of Village Chief He, right? Under the leadership of Village Chief He, your village is getting richer and richer." It has to be said that this He Shengkun is quite capable. The reason why he is so overbearing is just because everyone is in a different position.
"That's right, my husband is very capable." Mrs. He had never been to school, and when she heard Yang Biao praising her husband, she held her head high.
"The people of Changping Village are well-known for their wealth. The government must be arresting your people. What's the point of arresting the poor people like us?"
"Mo Mo, he is right." The police could not get any benefits from arresting those who were too poor, so the sister-in-law beside Mrs. He whispered.
"Well, our village has been poor for so many years. We finally made some money by brewing wine. Everyone used the money to build houses and set up schools. How could we allow the government to arrest people?" The houses were built and everyone could see them, but outsiders had no idea how much silver the family had. Yang Biao used this to gain sympathy.
"Well, he has a point. Even if Yangjia Village makes money by selling wine, it will have to build a house and run a school, so there is definitely not much money left."
"Yes, they are not as rich as us. The only house they have built in their lifetime might have been built with borrowed money to keep up appearances." The village was extremely poor a year ago, how could it become rich so quickly? The women were talking about it.
"Dear elders of Changping Village, I think you should go to the government to find a way to rescue this person as soon as possible. We cannot let him stay in jail. I heard that anyone who goes to jail will be beaten with thirty boards first." Yang Biao struck while the iron was hot. The word "official" has two mouths, one inside and one outside.
"Ah, my second uncle's niece's brother is working for the government. I'll go find him to help rescue the man."
"Hey, I don't know anyone in the government, please ask for me."
"I..." The women of Changping Village were all anxious to go to the government to rescue the person, fearing that if it was too late, the person would suffer. It didn't take long for the headman's house to return to its former tranquility.
"Oh, they're finally gone." The village head sat down on the ground. In his entire life, he had never been made so embarrassed by so many women.
"Go into the house and change your clothes." The headman's wife hurriedly pulled him up and dragged him into the house. His clothes were torn. There were other young wives from the village at home. It was too outrageous.
"Weiwei, what are you doing?" Liu entered the Rose Courtyard and saw her sitting under a tree in a daze. She walked up to her and sat down beside her.
"I was thinking about the silk shop business and what kind of patterns are popular." Faced with her mother's inquiry, Xia Weiwei did not want to tell the truth.
"Well, you should be the one to take care of Anhetang. My mother is old, and I always feel that I am unable to do it." Liu sighed in her heart. What a girl! She is so concerned about her husband's family business.
"Mom has worked hard for half her life and it's time for her to have a good rest. Daddy is on a business trip and mom can go with him and spend more time with him." Now that she is married, it is not appropriate for her to continue managing her mother's family business.
"Mother wants to enjoy her old age, but it is impossible for her to do so. If your sisters-in-law are really capable of taking charge of the household, how could it be your turn to manage the household?" Liu felt that each of her five sons was the best, but it was a pity that the five daughters-in-law she married were useless.
"Mother, my sisters-in-law all learned how to manage the household at their parents' homes before they got married. I think it's okay to let them have a try. Besides, not only was I young before, I also didn't know how to do this or that when it comes to housekeeping and accounting. Mother has always been there to teach me." As long as Liu is willing to delegate power to her sisters-in-law, Xia Weiwei believes that they will do a good job.
"Your brothers are all working hard outside, so let them take care of the family, educate the children, and solve the worries for Mingxuan and the others." Liu put her hand on her shoulder and hugged Ji'er in her arms. She still liked her own daughter better.
Seeing that her mother didn't want her sisters-in-law to interfere with the Xia family's ancestral property anyway, Xia Weiwei stopped trying to persuade them. Her role in her mother's family had changed, and interfering too much in her mother's family affairs would affect the relationship between her mother and her sisters-in-law.
"Madam, I saw that kid Yang Biao on the day of the teacher's farewell banquet." After finishing his official business and returning home, Xia Zhaofeng thought for a long time and decided to tell Liu.
"Oh, he also took part in this year's college entrance examination?" Liu was helping him change into casual clothes, and she didn't react much when she heard Yang Biao's name.
"Yeah, I got second place." Xia Zhaofeng put on his clothes, sat on the chair and picked up the tea on the table.
"His college entrance examination results are not as good as our son's. Oh, my heart aches." When Liu thought that her daughter and he had consummated their marriage, her heart ached.
"That's right. Looking around, there are very few people who can compare with our children." Xia Zhaofeng looked proud, thinking that his children were the best.
