Su Mo coaxed the three children, and as soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard someone knocking on the door, and thought that Mrs. Lin was not giving up, she picked up the broom angrily, opened the courtyard door with one hand, and planned to drive people away.

"It's all said that you will die of this heart, and you can't understand people, right?"

As soon as the words were spoken, I saw the village chief standing at the gate of the courtyard, his face a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Su Mo hurriedly put down the broom, and was about to open his mouth to explain, when the village chief raised his hand and signaled that she didn't have to say much.

"I already know about Mrs. Lin's affairs, but she dared to come rashly, I'm afraid that the county lord had already premeditated, and you refused so bluntly, in case you angered him..."

The village chief didn't say the next words, but Su Mo also knew in his heart that he was just afraid that she would get into trouble, and when the time came, the matter would be big and uncomfortable.

But Su Mo had already guessed that Wang Yingying had suddenly come to the village in the past few days and recruited workers with great fanfare.

Counting the news I heard from Li Feng and the letter written by Fang Shi, I am afraid that this matter is inseparable from Wang Yingying.

And even if it has nothing to do with her, the attitude towards this matter should be clear.

If you are indecisive and timid, not to mention that it is easy to be ruined, it is easier to make the county lord more bold and reckless.

"Village chief, I know you are kind, but I have my own measure in this matter, don't worry."

Su Mo laughed, and after finding that Gu Xingnian came over to grab the hem of her clothes, he hurriedly changed the topic.

"By the way, why are you here?"

Seeing that Su Mo was reluctant to say more, and seeing Gu Xingnian with tears in his eyes, he stood behind Su Mo uneasily, and immediately followed Su Mo's words:

"That's right, this Minwa and a few children are playing around and find green smoke coming from the wheat field......

Looking at the depth of the water in the field, there will be at least one or two days, which means that the ditch will be completed on the fourth day of the new year.

Then on the other side of the ditch, I also went to see it, and there were many and messy footprints, and there were four or five people.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Yingying was recruiting workers in the village, and most of the people went to see the excitement, but I suspected that it was not from the village.

I'm going to come here to hear what you think..."

Su Mo frowned slightly, and after being silent for a moment, he raised his eyes to look at the village chief, and suddenly said, "You already have a guess in your heart, right?" ”

The village chief was stunned at first, and then showed a helpless smile, he sighed and said, "Sure enough, I still can't hide it from you."

In the past few days, she is the only person who has come from outside the village, and she has an old grudge against you, and I suspected that she had bad intentions in recruiting workers, but I never thought that she was calculating the wheat in the field. ”

Su Mo pulled the corners of her mouth sarcastically, thinking in her heart that she was not just calculating the wheat in the field...

"There is no evidence in this matter, and it is useless to speculate, as for the wheat in the field..."

Su Mo paused, a reluctant smile on his face.

"Didn't the old man in the village say that this day has slowly warmed up, and now he can only block the ditch first, and leave the rest to fate.

I believe that the officials sent by the imperial court will understand the truth when they know the truth. ”

The village chief heard the faint self-abandonment in his words, and he couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with the Wang family in his heart, but what the Su family said was true, there was no evidence, and it was useless to speculate.

This matter can only be a dumb person suffering from depression, and he can't talk about his suffering.

"Alas...... You're right, now you have to resign yourself to fate. ”

That being said, the village chief couldn't help but feel some pity and worry in his heart.

It's a pity that so much wheat in the field has already hung ears, but there are still a lot of empty ones, but now that it is so frozen, I am afraid that there is nothing.

The worry is that when the officials of the imperial court arrive, they will not listen to the explanation and directly convict the Su family, how can this be good?

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but he didn't know where to start, in the final analysis, he still blamed Wang Yingying, what kind of madness, he wanted to do such a bad thing.

Not to mention this recruitment, what is the conspiracy?

When the village chief thought of this, his heart skipped a beat, and he was a little panicked.

Su Mo noticed the abnormality of the village chief and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" Do you want to ask Dr. Wang to take a look? ”

The village chief waved his hand in refusal, he took a few deep breaths, calmed down, looked at Su Mo, and decided to ask her opinion.

"This ditch thing, if nothing else, is what she did, but she recruited workers...

Gu family, I don't know what you think? ”

Su Mo really didn't know this, but she still voiced her suspicions.

"It stands to reason that businessmen are highly profitable, and it is common sense to recruit workers to lower wages, but Wang Yingying's wages are much higher...

I don't know what she meant, but I always felt that something was wrong. ”

The village chief also felt that something was wrong with this place, not to mention anything else, he knew in his heart that Wang Yingying was not the kind of person who would help the villagers.

But apart from this, everything is very normal, or he can't think of Wang Yingying's painstaking recruitment, if it weren't for the lack of people in the shop, what else could he do for?

"Maybe we're thinking too much."

The village chief shook his head slightly, he had already explained to his son, and those people's documents had already been signed, no matter how bad Wang Yingying was, it was impossible to harm his relatives, right?

Su Mo smiled and didn't reply.

It was not early, the village chief did not stay for long, said a few more words, and left the Gu family.

Su Mo looked at his back as he walked away, and then leaned over to pick up Gu Xingnian, and after coaxing her back to the house to roast the fire, his face suddenly turned cold.

Blistered in the wheat field, wanting to freeze all the wheat in the field to death, if she wasn't worried that the wheat wouldn't survive the winter, she specially exchanged it for cold-resistant potions in the points mall, maybe she would have succeeded.

And now, there is a disturbance about the concubine in this county, it is best that Wang Yingying does not interfere in this matter, otherwise she will definitely make Wang Yingying pay the corresponding price...

Su Mo thought about it, walked straight to the kitchen, and began to work on dinner.

But he never thought about the matter of the county concubine, and he also implicated Chen Lihai's family.

Peng's little confinement child, lying in bed, taken care of by Chen Lihai, thinking about a lot of things, and making up his mind in his heart to break off with his mother's family and live a good life with Chen Lihai in the future.

Chen's mother, on her side, also hid from Wang Taoqing, went to the relatives of various clans to find manpower, and planned to go to Peng's mother's house tomorrow to ask for an explanation.

It's just that he was still sitting in the family house, and Chen Lihai broke in with his hair scattered, his face flustered.

"Mother, it's a big deal..."

The people in the house were startled, and Chen's mother hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Aren't you taking care of Pai at home? ”

Chen Lihai gasped and squeezed out a paragraph intermittently.

"Peng's... Peng's father and mother are here... Said he wanted to take Peng away..."

"What?"

Mother Chen immediately stood up, her face very ugly.

The clansmen in the house were also angry, the people of the Peng family were so arrogant that they dared to come to their territory to rob people!

"Sister-in-law, don't say much, it's important to stop people!"

The man who sat on the throne stood up and began to arrange things for the people in the room.

"Lihai, you take us there."

"Jiu'an, you go to the village chief, say hello to the other clansmen by the way, and take the guy's business.

Find another person to go to Lihai's daughter-in-law's mother's village and invite their village chief.

I'm here to see how their village chief handles this door-to-door robbery! ”

"Let's go!"
