Chapter 740 This compliment doesn't taste right!

n, and awaited their dispatch to the southwest for hard labor.Li Zhensheng and Li Lao'er once again thanked the magistrate and the local people, then got into Wang Fu's carriage that had arrived.In th...The villagers shrank their necks and dared not speak.

Originally, during the Chinese New Year, each household in the village had about two to three hundred taels of silver after dividing the wealth.

The women, delighted, were content with sewing new outfits and buying silver hairpins, but the men's minds began to stir with thoughts they shouldn't have.

Uncle Zhao and his group patrolled at night. People from the same village hid behind haystacks to shelter from the wind and chat, and they overheard a few words.

But the village head didn't know, at this moment he was so angry that he glared and started yelling.

"You little brats, who wants to take a concubine Come on, come on, tell me.

"Just watch me crack all your yolks!"

"It's only been a few good days, and you're already running off. Do you really think no one can control you"

"One daughter-in-law isn't enough for you to sleep with, and you want me to bring back the whole village You really are tired of living, aren't you"

The village headman, brandishing his smoking pipe, lectured the men of the village. They all wore wry smiles and flushed faces, their necks strained with effort.

On the other hand, the women all straightened their backs and felt a newfound sense of pride.

Since the old men can hear about it, how can these bed partners be unaware

Though they earned wages and guarded the family silver, deep down they never truly saw themselves as equals to men.

Knowing that the men had sinister intentions, they were terrified. They secretly wiped away their tears and didn't even dare to go to the village head, let alone tell Li's family.

Now that the village chief is backing them, they finally feel a little more confident.

The village head pointed at the women and continued berating the men, “These are your wives! ”

When we were fleeing famine and struggling for survival in the mountains, facing wolves, tigers, and leopards, they followed us tirelessly, never complaining or showing any resentment.

Now that life is better, you find them unattractive, too loud Think the women outside are better

Then ask those delicate beauties outside, will they follow you through hardship

Don't talk about people liking you, don't talk about bull** fate. Just with your unwashed, filthy appearance, it's a wonder your wives even put up with you!

The men could only smirk awkwardly, but their hearts were much more alert.

Their innate depravity makes them think that even if they had to fight for an extra bushel of wheat, it would be worth it just to bring back another concubine to spice things up.

But when the village head scolded him like that, his tail that was floating in the air was pulled back, and he sobered up.

"Uncle, just rest assured, we won't take a concubine. We'll live a good life together."

"That's right, old man! Our own daughter-in-law and children aren't even raised properly yet, where would we have the spare money!"

"Everyone's just joking around, no one takes it seriously."

The village head let out a cold snort and continued to persuade them earnestly, "How much money do you have You wouldn't even be able to buy your daughter-in-law a set of gold jewelry. In a few years, when your child goes to school, the annual tuition alone will be sixty taels!"

Take another look at the Li family, the eldest master, the uncle, the third master, and the fourth master. Who is not more capable than you Which one of them has taken a concubine!

"Even, the old master and uncles don't even have wives, people aren't in a hurry, why are you so worried!"

Li Lao Er, who was suddenly called out, was walking towards the carriage. Hearing this, he stepped on his right heel with his left foot, almost falling to the ground.

The village head is praising him, isn't he!

But somehow, it just doesn't taste right!

Inside the carriage, Jiayin was already hugging her grandmother and laughing uncontrollably.

Oh, it's so cute how embarrassed Second Uncle looks!

All in all, talking about past events with the Chen family was serious at first but ended up being very funny.

The village chief, though he scolded harshly, truly cared about the well-being of the village.

That evening, he came to Li's house to discuss the matter of marrying wives for the veterans, wounded soldiers, and bachelors in the village.

This time, the village head wanted to conduct a secret visit in advance.

Although this can't guarantee foolproof results, it's more reliable than just taking a matchmaker's word for it.

Of course, Old Lady Li gave her full support with both hands.

After all, marriage is a major life event. It's right to be careful and serious about it.

The next day, the village head began searching the whole village, looking for older women who had nothing to do and could go visit good girls in other villages.

This season, if you say it's busy, it's not that busy yet, it's just some scattered small jobs.

Elderly women have always enjoyed matchmaking, and now that they're doing it under the banner of the village, openly connecting people, it's truly a joyful occasion.

Then, six sisters-in-law immediately volunteered for the task.

The selection range is also from near to far, starting with Dazhuang and Xiaowangzhuang and Huai Shujing Village...

Jia Yin loves to join in the fun and wishes she could be part of the "Matchmaker Squad" too.

Unfortunately, she still has a lot of business to attend to...

The day has come to butcher heads at Cai Shi Kou and destroy the Fu Rong Gao!

After a great deal of commotion, lasting almost half a month, and even counting from Chen He's death, the case of Fuyu Gao had finally come to an end after nearly two months.

Everyone in the new city, as long as they didn't have to work for a living, flooded onto the streets that day, wanting to see what was going on.

Especially ordinary people, a box of Ronghe ointment worth 100 taels of gold is something they could never afford in their lifetime.

Therefore, they were also more curious and wanted to see what this precious harmful thing looked like.

And the wealthy families mobilized their full force, but they were after people—those who had been seduced by the Yaochi and had become demon-like “humans.”

These “people” were some of their nephews, some friends, some acquaintances, and some classmates.

It's truly a pity to see them end up like this. I don't know whether to feel sad or just sorry for them.

To prevent accidents, all the people involved in the case of the Hibiscus Ointment have been kept in a barrack outside the palace.

At this point, even arriving at the vegetable market wouldn't be of any use.

The chief culprit, the manager of Yaochi, was imprisoned in a cage. The rest of the accomplices were tied together with ropes and walked.

Perhaps it was a warning to the world, the whole team moved very slowly, passing through the most bustling streets.

Countless people lined the streets, their gazes complex and the atmosphere silent.

Until several people suddenly developed a craving for cigarettes, walked and started yawning and sneezing, shaking all over, curling up in a ball, rolling on the ground like crazy, screaming and begging for mercy.

In the past, the high-born young master was now like a stray dog, pitiful and desperate, begging for even a mouthful of stale food. The sight shocked and terrified everyone.

A thousand words cannot compare to the impact and truthfulness of seeing something with your own eyes.

"This Fusheng Cream is truly a harmful thing!"

"Isn't that right No wonder the Emperor went to such great lengths to ban this!"

"Where on earth did this thing come from It's absolutely vicious!"

"It made my hair stand on end. If it got on me, it would surely ruin my family!"

"Don't joke around, it's a box of one hundred taels of gold! You won't even get a taste."

"Haha, you're right. We poor people don't even have a chance."

"Be careful! I heard that these people don't take money at first, but once you get addicted, they demand a high price. By then, you won't even be able to afford it if you sell your house and land!"ns in Jiangbei. It's not a good time to take leave. Now is just the right moment!”The officials seemed unable to believe it, their eyes fixed on Marquis Xinting, none of them expecting him to take the...
