MTL - I Became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating-Chapter 166 Believe it or not, I pulled your hair out?
Chapter 166 Believe it or not, I plucked your hair?
As Ji Zhao's voice fell, the noisy melon-eating crowd suddenly fell silent.
"Just because of your mouth? Why should we trust you?" Zhao Suqiu curled her lips angrily, "Didn't the uncle's house on the other side of my mother's house also sell two little girls during the drought? You mean the county Master Ling is settling accounts after the fall, so we have to believe it? I think you are lying! You are so vicious to the grandmother who raised you! You will definitely suffer retribution in the future."
"Bah!" Zhao Lanhua rushed in front of her aggressively, grabbed her hair, and bit her back molars viciously, "If you dare to make up half a word for my third daughter-in-law, believe it or not, I'll screw you up!" hair?"
"Let go! Let go!" Zhao Suqiu didn't expect Zhao Lanhua to be so aggressive, and directly pulled her hair. When she was about to resist, she heard her mother's exclamation from the crowd.
"Suqiu, it's terrible! Both your father and your uncle have been arrested by the government officials!"
The scene suddenly became a mess.
When Shen Menghu hurried over, there was already silence outside the gate of the Shen family compound.
However, the villagers still gathered together in twos and threes, whispering to each other from time to time.
Shen Menghu knocked on the bamboo crutch in his hand angrily, "Is it too idle? Are the crops in the field all processed?"
Shen Menghu is nearly sixty years old, and he has been the village head for more than forty years. Coupled with his status in the hearts of the villagers, he is highly respected. So the villagers are in awe of him.
"Village Chief, Aunt Suqiu and her father seem to have been arrested!"
"Village Chief, what is going on?"
"Village Chief, this season, A Tao is so good and bad, not only asked someone to cut off his cousin's hands, but also sent her grandmother to the prison!"
"Village Chief, I think our village can't keep people like Ji Atao!"
"Shut up, everyone!" Shen Menghu scolded sullenly, "You're all so leisurely? Do you want me to find something for you to stop?"
Finally, the onlookers left spontaneously.
Shen Yao stepped forward silently, and welcomed Shen Menghu into the Shen family compound.
In the hall.
Zhao Lanhua served a large bowl of mung bean soup, smiled gratefully and said, "Uncle Huzi, thank you so much just now, if you didn't arrive in time, everyone would be reluctant to leave!"
"It's all free!" Shen Menghu complained angrily.
"From the Dashan family, I came here today to repair the Earth Temple." Shen Menghu drank half a bowl of mung bean soup before slowly opening his mouth, "The past few years have been bad, and we in Shanghe Village are considered lucky Yes. But I heard from Dashan that you want to renovate the whole earth temple to be more grand?"
"Yes." Zhao Lanhua nodded seriously.
"How much money would it cost?" Shen Menghu shook his head disapprovingly, "Although your family's situation is considered well-off in the village, even so, you can't spend money like this, and didn't Dashan say a few days ago Do you want to buy more homesteads and build houses?"
"Actually, this is what my third daughter-in-law meant." Zhao Lanhua said with a smile, and when she was about to explain, she heard Shen Menghu scolded angrily, "Nonsense!"
Ji Zhao, who had been sitting at the bottom all the time, his eyes flashed, and he held back his mouth.
"Third daughter-in-law, tell the truth, what exactly do you want to do?" Shen Menghu frowned, and looked at Ji Zhao with deep eyes, the doubts in his eyes were self-evident, "This other people don't know, but I know Yes, if you hadn't gone to the county government first, your adoptive grandmother would not have been imprisoned in the county government prison!"
Shen Menghu stared at her, his weather-beaten face was full of scrutiny.
Ji Zhao met his scrutinizing eyes without being humble, and said softly, "Village chief, many people know what kind of life I lived before I married in Shanghe Village; but since Mr. Xie died of illness, I Then I lost contact with Mrs. Xie, but she came to my door several times and disturbed me and even the whole Shen family."
"Clay figurines still have a three-point temper, let alone the younger generation is a person of flesh and blood? Maybe in your eyes, the younger generation's actions are too unreasonable, but the younger generation does not feel that it is wrong."
Although Ji Zhao's tone was calm, the rest of the Shen family couldn't help their eyes turning red.
The longer you get along with A Tao, the more you can understand A Tao's personality;
"Village chief, I actually went when A Tao went to the county government to file a record." Shen Yao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly explained, "We discussed this matter together before, and I also think that A Tao did nothing wrong. wrong."
"You...you..." Shen Menghu was so stunned that he didn't know what to say. Finally, he drooped his shoulders weakly and said with a frown, "Even if your adoptive grandmother fell into the ambush is her own fault, then the matter of repairing the Earth Temple What? You little girl, why do you have such an idea?"
"Because the Land Guild will protect one side's safety." Ji Zhao explained concisely, "Village Chief, although we don't have much money on hand to repair the Earth Temple, we will still think of a way."
Ji Zhao promised earnestly.
The father-in-law not only gave her good luck, but also reminded her several times to avoid danger.
So she must repair a tall and noble land and revive the incense in the temple.
"But we in Shanghe Village don't believe in the Land Lord anymore," Shen Menghu frowned in embarrassment.
"Do you know about the monument of merit?" Shen Yao stood up suddenly, and said to Shen Menghu very sincerely, "Village Chief, you have worked tirelessly and fearlessly to revitalize our Shanghe Village these years, and you have put in a lot of actions and sacrifices. sweat."
"What do you want to say?"
"A Tao and I have discussed it. Once the Earth Temple is rebuilt, your name must be engraved on the first line of the monument. Only in this way can you show your greatness."
Although Shen Yao's tone was still cold as usual, Shen Menghu was still persuaded.
"You mean, the name on the merit tablet can be adjusted up and down and in size?"
"Well," Shen Yao nodded quickly, "As long as those who donate more than ten taels of silver, their names can be engraved on the merit tablet, and the font will also be changed, at least it can be seen at a glance.
"If it is more than eight taels and less than ten taels, the name can be placed in the left side of the middle; if it is more than five taels and less than eight taels, the name can also be slightly enlarged. Of course, the specific layout on the merit tablet needs to be finalized. Make sure again." Shen Yao calmly analyzed, "Village Chief, what do you think?"
