Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen
Chapter 198 Performance of Contract
She grabbed Lei Qianggen's hand and said anxiously, "Boss, this little bitch Lu Ke'er is a bit weird. Since she changed, the Lu family has undergone earth-shaking changes. Do you think she is possessed by a demon?"
Lei Qianggen glared at her and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? No matter how capable Lu Ke'er is, she is just a little girl who has not yet reached the age of marriage. However, this girl is indeed lucky and has met many noble men. I see that those noble men are interested in her, otherwise, how could they help her so much?"
Lin Yunhua blinked, and thought carefully about what happened in the Lu family during this period. She couldn't help but slap her thigh and shouted, "I know what kind of demon possessed her. It must be a vixen! At such a young age, she has already bewitched those noblemen from the capital!"
So, when Lei Zheng brought several elders and some villagers who came to watch the fun to Lei Qianggen's house to urge them to fulfill the bet, Lin Yunhua scolded Lu Ke'er as a vixen and clamored for the villagers to kill the monster as soon as possible, which made Lei Zheng very angry.
"You woman are not only vicious, but also stupid. I advise you to move out as soon as possible!" Lei Zheng scolded with a stern face.
"Why? Does this Lingxia Village belong to his Lu family? Do you want us to move? We won't move!" Lin Yunhua put her hands on her hips and started to act like a spoiled child.
"You have to accept the loss!" An elder of the clan could not bear it any longer, and pointed at Lin Yunhua and cursed, shaking his beard, "You caused this disaster, so you have to bear the consequences yourself. Now the Lu family's status in our Lingxia Village has risen. Not only do they have to lead the whole village to live a good life, but they also have a daughter who has been rewarded by the court. Let alone the head of the village, even if the county magistrate comes, he has to give them enough face."
"Second uncle is right." Another villager who was about 40 years old said to Lei Qianggen, "Your wife doesn't understand, so why don't you understand these things? Don't blame us brothers for not speaking up for you. It's really because your family has a very bad reputation in our village. Your brother-in-law Lin Yunmu does petty and sneaky things every day, and also molests the women and maids in the village. Who doesn't hate him if they have daughters at home? But what about you? You repeatedly cover up and condone him, and even bite back at others. Let's be frank, then everyone wanted to drive your family away. How dare you stay in the village now?"
"you……"
"Fortunately, Lin Yunmu will get his comeuppance. He fell into the hands of the Lu family and was beaten by the county magistrate. If I were you, I would have packed up and left on my own without anyone urging me." Someone mocked.
It's just a pity that after the fall of the Jia family, Lin Yunmu's whereabouts were unknown. Some people speculated that he was dead, and some speculated that he was also arrested... Although there is no conclusion, everyone speculated that this person would not have a good end.
Lei Zheng didn't want to waste any more words with Lei Qiangen and his wife, so he made the final decision: "I'll give you one month to pack and move. If you insist on not leaving, that's fine. You won't have a part in anything in the village from now on. There are 120 households in our village, but more than 110 of them agree that you can move out."
Lei Qianggen’s eyes went dark.
Their family was almost expelled by the entire village.
"Okay, let's go." Lei Qianggen closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "Humph, don't regret it. If you try to curry favor with the Lu family now, if the Lu family collapses in the future, all your efforts will be in vain!"
"I dare not say anything else, but in terms of character, the Lu family is a hundred times or a thousand times better than you." A young man muttered, "The Lu family not only makes money themselves, but also gives us many opportunities to make money together. Unlike your family, you never lend your fishing nets to the villagers."
"Lu Ke'er is a vixen. If she hadn't hooked up with those young gentlemen to help her, would she be able to make money? Haha, you'd better be careful not to be fooled by her!" Lin Yunhua was very unwilling and tried every means to discredit Lu Ke'er.
Lei Zheng glanced at her, not knowing what was in her mind: "Lin, Ke'er is a skilled doctor. The prescriptions for curing epidemic diseases were provided by her. The new dishes introduced every season in Pinxianlou are also cooked according to her methods. Almost every household in the village now makes pickled vegetables, which are also taught by her. These pickled vegetables can also be exchanged for money... Which of these things is not Ke'er's own ability? The nobles only help those who are truly talented. You have dirty thoughts, and you still want to throw dirty water on Ke'er? Who gave you the courage!"
"That's right! We are all ashamed for you! How dare you stay in the village? Leave early!" Everyone ridiculed them.
Amid the villagers' joy and laughter, Lei Qianggen and his family hurriedly moved out of Lingxia Village as soon as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed. They sold the land in the village and bought a small yard on the edge of Xilin County with some savings, and settled down in Xilin County. It is said that Lei Qianggen later rented a small pond nearby and made a living by raising fish. When Lu Ke'er heard about it, she just laughed it off.
As long as these annoying people don't hang around and affect the lives of the Lu family, she won't even give them a glance.
………………
The end of the 36th year of Zheng'an was destined to be a significant event in the history of the country.
This year, the Zhenguo Mansion, which had dominated the court for nearly fifty years, was destroyed.
This year, after King Chen raised an army, he was defeated and fled to the border of Ling State.
This year, almost no aristocratic families in the capital held annual banquets. At the end of the year, when people bid farewell to the old and welcomed the new, the power in the court ushered in a new round of purges. The Crown Prince Ye Feng gradually gained power, and Emperor Zheng'an gradually retired behind the scenes due to health reasons.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the snow in Beijing finally stopped after a few days of continuous snowfall. The sun came out, and the sunlight shone on the white snow, sparkling with tiny sparkles.
The Emperor's Grandson's Mansion.
In the study, the stove was burning with silver charcoal that only the powerful and wealthy families in the capital could afford, making the whole room warm as spring.
Ye Feng was discussing matters with Rong Zhixing.
"I thought that with Duan Tianhao's ability, he could trap Ye Wenyan in his fiefdom, but I didn't expect that he would still break through and escape." Talking about the recent battle situation, Ye Feng was not without regret.
Everyone says that he has planned everything perfectly, but only he knows that he is not a god and he will make mistakes sometimes.
For example, the current siege of Ye Wenyan.
"Your Highness, there is no need to blame yourself. None of us expected that Ye Wenyan would be followed by someone who is good at poisoning. If it weren't for this person, General Duan would not have been poisoned, allowing Ye Wenyan to escape." Rong Zhixing actually felt very sorry, but he knew that Ye Feng was even more disappointed, so he couldn't help but comfort him.
"Letting a tiger go back to the mountains will eventually become a big problem." Ye Feng habitually turned his gaze to the spiritual stone on the table and reached out to touch it. "War is extremely expensive, and at present, the treasury is empty."
Rong Zhixing frowned when he thought of his current predicament.
He was close to the Ministry of Revenue, so he naturally knew that the current Qi State was actually strong on the outside but weak on the inside. In recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters had continued, and the treasury had been emptied.
He roughly calculated his assets and recent income in his mind, and said, "Your Highness, I still have some money, which may be enough to hold on for a while."
Ye Feng nodded: "Call over for emergency first. We must seize the opportunity and stop Ye Wenyan's rebels on his escape route."
Rong Zhixing understood that the longer the war dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for the imperial court.
"Has Yu Tang set out?" Ye Feng thought of the poisoned Duan Tianhao, and couldn't help but worry. "Duan Tianhao is the only general who can lead this army. Don't forget, this army was taken from Ye Wenyan. If anything happens to him, the army will be demoralized and torn apart. We will lose this battle."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Yu Tang has already set off on his journey, and Mr. Si is also traveling with him. According to the itinerary, they will be able to arrive in Pingzhou by tomorrow night at the latest. With Yu Tang's medical skills, General Duan should be fine."
Ye Feng touched the stone again and stared at it in a daze.
