After death, I became the cannon fodder of the three protagonists

Chapter 137

Su Mo coaxed the three children, and just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard someone knocking on the door. She thought it was Mrs. Lin who was unwilling to give up. She picked up the broom angrily, and opened the courtyard door with one hand, intending to drive them away.

"I've said it all to kill you, don't you understand people's words?"

As soon as he spoke, he saw the village chief standing at the gate of the yard with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.

Seeing this, Su Mo quickly put down the broom, and was about to explain, when the village chief raised his hand to signal her not to say more.

"I already know about Mrs. Lin, but she dared to come here rashly. I'm afraid the county magistrate has planned it beforehand. If you refuse so bluntly, if you offend him..."

The village chief didn't say what happened next, but Su Mo also knew in his heart that he was just afraid that she would get into trouble, and things would get worse and it would be uncomfortable.

But Su Mo already had some guesses. From the past few days, Wang Yingying came to the village suddenly and recruited workers with great fanfare.

Considering the news from Li Feng and the letter written by Fang Shi, Wang Yingying may have something to do with this matter.

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

If you are indecisive and timid, let alone easily ruined your reputation, it is easier to make that county magistrate even more daring.

"Village Chief, I know you have good intentions, but I have my own discretion in this matter, so don't worry."

Su Mo laughed, and when she found that Gu Xingnian had come to grab her skirt, she quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, why are you here?"

The village chief saw that Su Mo was unwilling to say more, and saw that Gu Xingnian was standing behind Su Mo anxiously with tears in his eyes, and immediately followed Su Mo's words:
"That's right, Minwa and his children were playing around and found smoke rising from the wheat field...

Judging by the depth of the water in the field, it should be at least one or two days, that is to say, the ditches will probably be finished on the fourth day of junior high school.

Then I went to the other side of the ditch. There were many and chaotic footprints, and there were at least 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 watch the fun, but I doubt they were from the village.

I came here specially, just to hear what you think..."

Su Mo frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, she raised her eyes to look at the village chief, and said suddenly: "You already have a guess in your heart, right?"

The village head was startled for a moment, then smiled helplessly, he let out a long sigh, and said, "Sure enough, I still can't hide it from you.

These days, the only outsider in the village is her, and she has an old grudge with you. I suspected that she had bad intentions in recruiting workers, but I never thought that she was counting the wheat in the field. "

Su Mo twitched the corners of her mouth sarcastically, thinking in her heart that she was more than plotting against the wheat in the field...

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

Su Mo paused, with a forced smile on his face.

"Didn't the elders in the village say that the weather has slowly returned to temperature, and now we can only block the ditches first, and leave the rest to fate.

I believe that the officials sent by the imperial court will understand after knowing the truth. "

The village chief could hear the faint self-deprecation in the words, and he couldn't help feeling dissatisfied with the Wang family, but what Su said was true, without evidence, and guessing was useless.

This matter can only be a dull loss for the dumb, unable to speak out.

"Oh...you are right, now I can only resign myself to fate."

That's what he said, but the village chief couldn't help but feel a little pity and worry.

It's a pity that there are so many wheats in the field, all of which are already eared, but there are still a lot of empty ones, but now it's so cold, I'm afraid there will be nothing left.

The worry is that when the officials of the imperial court arrive, they don't listen to the explanation, and just want to convict the Su family, what should I do?

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 for going crazy and wanting to do such bad things.

Not to mention this recruitment, what kind of conspiracy is there?

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

Su Mo noticed the abnormality of the village chief, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter with you? Do you want to invite Doctor Wang to take a look?"

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

"The thing about the ditch, if nothing else happens, is what she did, it's just her recruitment...

Gu family, what do you think? "

Su Mo was really not sure about this, but she still expressed her doubts.

"It stands to reason that businessmen value profits, and it is reasonable to recruit workers by lowering wages, but Wang Yingying's wages are much higher...

Although I don't know what her intentions are, I always feel that something is wrong. "

The village head also felt that something was wrong with this place. Among other things, he knew in his heart that Wang Yingying was not the kind of person who would help the villagers.

But apart from this point, everything is very normal, or he can't think of Wang Yingying's troublesome recruitment, if it is not because of the lack of people in the shop, what else can it be for?
"Forget it, maybe we think 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 wicked Wang Yingying was, she couldn't possibly harm her close relatives, right?
Su Mo smiled and didn't reply.

It was getting late, and the village chief didn't stay long, and after saying a few more words, he left Gu's house.

Su Mo looked at his back that was drifting away, then leaned over and hugged Gu Xingnian, coaxing her back to the house to warm up by the fire, her face suddenly turned cold.

Soaking the wheat field in water, trying to freeze all the wheat in the field to death, if she hadn't worried that the wheat would not survive the winter, so she specially exchanged the anti-cold potion at the points mall, maybe she would have succeeded.

But now, there is another incident about the county magistrate taking concubines. It is best that Wang Yingying does not intervene in this matter, otherwise she will definitely make Wang Yingying pay the corresponding price...

Su Mo thought about it, went straight to the kitchen, and started working on dinner.

But he never thought about the matter of the county magistrate taking a concubine, and it would also implicate Chen Lihai's family.

Mrs. Peng was confinement, lying on the bed, being taken care of by Chen Lihai, she wanted to understand many things, and she made up her mind to break up with her natal family completely, and live a good life with Chen Lihai in the future.

Chen's mother, without telling Wang Taoqing, went to various relatives' families to find helpers, and planned to go to Peng's natal family tomorrow to ask for an explanation.

He was just sitting at his family's house, when Chen Lihai barged in with disheveled hair, his face flustered.

"Mom, something is wrong..."

Everyone in the room was startled, and Chen's mother hurriedly asked, "What's the matter? Aren't you taking care of Mrs. Peng at home?"

Chen Lihai panted heavily, and uttered a few words intermittently.

"Ms. Peng... Mrs. Peng's parents are here... They said they want to take Mrs. Peng away..."

"what?"

Chen's mother immediately stood up, her face was very ugly.

The relatives in the house were also angry, the Peng family was so arrogant, they dared to come to their territory to rob people!
"Sister-in-law, don't talk too much, it's important to stop people!"

The person sitting in the main seat stood up and began to arrange things for the people in the room.

"Li Hai, take us there."

"Jiu'an, you go to the village head, and by the way, say hello to the other clansmen, and take care of him.

Find another person, go to Li Hai's daughter-in-law's natal village, and invite their village chief.

I want to see how the village chief handles this door-to-door robbery! "

"Let's go!"
