Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11861

Wanghai County, Changping Village, Sixi's House.

When Sixi's mother heard that her two brothers and her father's brothers had suggested she seek help from Yang Huazhong, the village head, she was dumbfounded.

Subconsciously, almost without thinking, I rejected their suggestions.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Because of the incident involving Sixi and Xiuhong's marriage, our family and the Yang family have completely broken off relations. The village head would never help us!"

However, her brother said, "If you don't go to the village head, what are you going to do? Even if we peasants wanted to bribe the government, we'd be like headless flies, unable to find a way!"

Another brother said, "Exactly! What time is it? Why are you still arguing about your worthless pride?"

Si Xi's mother covered her face and cried.

The brothers on Sixi's father's side looked at each other, and could only sigh.

Actually, after Sixi and Xiuhong's affair was exposed, they advised the couple to go with the flow and let the two children be together. It doesn't matter who they marry.

Even if you don't gain any real benefits by marrying the Yang family's daughter and forming a marriage alliance with them, at least in Changping Village, no one will dare to bully or look down on your family.

Even your family's taxes can be registered under the name of the third branch of the Yang family, so that they can be exempted from taxes!
Tax exemption, isn't that a benefit?

However, the couple simply wouldn't listen, and as a result, things got worse and worse.

"If all else fails, let's take some things and go sit in the homes of the village elders for a while, and see what they have to say," suggested Si Xi's mother's brother.

The others nodded in agreement. "As long as the village elders are willing to help us, the village head can't really say anything. After all, we're from the same village, we're all neighbors. I'm sure the village head will agree!"

If Yang Ruoqing were here and saw this behavior, and heard their words, she would definitely describe them with four words: "moral blackmail!"

Unfortunately, Yang Ruoqing wasn't there, so when their suggestion reached the ears of others, they all thought it was a very good and reasonable suggestion.

Moreover, they felt that there was no time to lose, so after discussing it, they quickly prepared their things and then went to the old man's house in the village that very night to knock on the door.

My hometown, Dacun.

Sixi's mother, accompanied by Sixi's uncle and maternal uncle, came over and knocked on the courtyard door.

The three of them were carrying a jar of liquor, weighing five jin (2.5 kg). It was a bottle of strong liquor that Erxi and his friends brought back from the county town after making money selling peanuts.

Originally, it was intended for my father and brothers to enjoy slowly at home, but before we even started unsealing the clay seal, it was already being used as a gift.

I also took two jin of brown sugar, one jin of red dates, and two strips of cake.

Such a gift was more than presentable, so Sixi's mother and the others came with some confidence.

As a result, after knocking on the courtyard gate for quite a while, the eldest son of the Grand Elder finally came over wearing an overcoat and opened the gate halfway.

"Uncle, Aunt, what's going on here?" the eldest son asked in surprise.

Si Xi's mother was busy wiping away her tears. Si Xi's uncle bowed to his eldest son in the old village and said, "Our family has suffered a disaster. Several people were taken away by the officials while they were cooking dinner, leaving behind a family of women and children. The sky has fallen."

"The village elder is knowledgeable and highly respected. I'd like to ask him for advice..." Upon hearing this, the eldest son's sleepy face was filled with shock and astonishment.

"Oh my, is that so? I've never heard of such a thing!"

"Alas, there's nothing we can do. We're just sitting at home when disaster strikes out of nowhere. We don't even know which evil spirit we've offended!" Uncle Sixi could only sigh again.
Si Xi's uncle could only stand silently to the side at this time. After all, he was not from Changping Village, so it was better to let Si Xi's uncle speak up.

As for Sixi Niang... well, forget about her. She's just a woman. She's usually incredibly arrogant, cursing and swearing, but once something really happens, she immediately panics!

The eldest son stared in shock again, his eyes filled with sympathy and disbelief, but he didn't budge an inch or make any attempt to invite them in.

The eldest son even said, "You've come at an inopportune time. My father hasn't been feeling well lately. He didn't eat dinner tonight, and he took his medicine and went to bed before sunset."

"Why don't you go and visit the village head, or one of the other village elders?"

“Nephew, Elder Dacun is the most respected elder. We should at least pay him a visit first and hear what he has to say…” Uncle Sixi said again.

The eldest son waved his hand and said, "I'm really sorry, Uncle. My father's health is not as good as before. He rarely gets a full night's sleep. It's really hard to wake him up at this time! It's also not good for his health."

"How about this, you go and check out the other houses first, and when my dad wakes up tomorrow morning, I'll immediately tell him that you came here last night? What do you think?"

The eldest son spoke tactfully and politely, as if he were discussing something with them.

However, the eldest son didn't move an inch from the ground the whole time, clearly not wanting them to come in.

The three men were no slouch either; seeing their eldest son like this, they could only sigh.

Si Xi's uncle wanted to leave the things behind, and Si Xi's mother hesitated. Unexpectedly, Si Xi's uncle secretly pinched her finger, and Si Xi's mother slowly let go of it.

The eldest son secretly observed all of this, a cold smile playing on his lips. The next moment, he pushed the things back, saying, "I can't accept something for nothing. Take these things back, and I'm going back too!"

After saying that, he retreated back into the courtyard, slammed the gate shut, and bolted it.

The eldest son's actions and sounds in the old village were completely unambiguous and undisguised. In the dead of night, they reached the ears of the three people outside the courtyard, and all three of them froze in their tracks.

Si Xi's mother was so angry that her chest heaved. She was about to turn around and bang on the door to yell at her when Si Xi's uncle grabbed her.

"Don't be silly, what time is it and you're still trying to throw a tantrum?"

"That's so disrespectful! We're from the same village, and they not only won't let us in, treating us like plague carriers, but they also slammed the door like that!"

"Is your pride more important, or are your brother-in-law and nephew in jail more important? Don't delay things!" said Uncle Sixi.

Uncle Sixi frowned and said in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law, listen to your brother and don't cause any more trouble!"

Si Xi's mother felt a hundred grievances, but she could only keep them to herself and follow behind the two of them back.

Next, they visited the homes of the other three villagers.

As a result, it was as if the four village elders had agreed beforehand that no family was willing to let them in, and each family had a different reason for refusing!

After going around in circles, none of the gifts they brought out were given away; instead, they were turned away all night.
