Splendid Twins
Chapter 150: Feelings Comparable to Going to a Grave
After handling the case, County Magistrate Li met with the village chief in private and asked him to tell Si Yao that the thresher had been arranged and would be used by the people of North Vietnam soon.
She also said that the drawings she provided had been refined and adjusted, and the new thresher would save more labor than the original one.
Such a great credit went to County Magistrate Li. To express his gratitude, he prepared a generous gift for Si Yao and asked the village chief to pass it on to him.
Seeing that the county magistrate valued Si Yao, the village chief planned to go back and discuss with the elders to let Yao girl be the village chief, and he would follow behind to help. Only she could lead the people of Sijia Village to a good life.
There were eight other men who went back with them. They were hired by County Magistrate Li to help build the oil factory. Their food and lodging were arranged by the village, and he also gave them fifty taels of silver as meal money.
After some demurring, the village chief accepted the money and promised to entertain them well. After leaving the county government office, he led a group of people back in a hurry. Those who didn't know the situation thought that these people were going to seek revenge...
As soon as he returned to the village, the village chief first asked someone to invite Si Yao, then looked at the group of villagers waiting for the results and said in a deep voice:
"Mrs. Si was sentenced to exile, and Si Yao and Liu Daoba were sent to a mass grave. You should all act like gourds with sawed mouths, and pretend that there is no such person as Si Yao in our village, so as not to implicate the reputation of other young people!"
As soon as the villagers heard this, they all realized the seriousness of the matter. Such a big scandal had happened in the village. If no girls from other villages married into their village, their village would become a village of bachelors.
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, everyone kept silent and pretended that Si Yao's family did not exist.
As luck would have it, right after the village chief gave the death order, someone came from the village. It was the maid that Zhou Wan sent to find Si Yao.
The village now has a vegetable shed and is planning to build an oil factory. Si Yao proposed some time ago that they should build the road first. As for the money, she could lend it to the village first and then they could pay her back when the vegetable shed made a profit. She didn't want to do anything that would make her feel ungrateful.
The road leading into the village was now full of potholes, with dirt and sand piled everywhere, and only one person could enter and exit. The maid was full of resentment. If the concubine wasn't her master, she would never come to this dirty hellhole in her eight lifetimes!
"You, go in and call Si Yao out to talk."
The driver was a servant from Prince Li's mansion, so he naturally agreed:
"Just a moment."
The young man met someone as soon as he entered the village. He greeted him with a smile and asked:
"Auntie, do you know where Si Yao's home is?"
The aunt was Aunt Guihua. There was a small slope in front of her house, which had just been leveled off during the road construction. When she heard the young man in front of her asking about Si Yao, she immediately became alert:
"who are you?"
Seeing that the young man was thin but handsome, he immediately thought of something and spoke quickly:
"You've got the wrong person. There's no such person in our village."
The driver was stunned and asked uncertainly:
"Si Yao, Si as in justice, Yao as in glory to the family, Auntie, please don't tease me, he and I are friends."
Aunt Guihua was furious when these words came out. What kind of friend is this?
What friend wants to come to my house?
His face darkened instantly, he put his hands on his hips, and spit out saliva:
"Your ears are not working well. I told you there is no such person but you still insisted on asking. Come on, come on, if you keep talking too much, I will beat you up!"
The driver was frightened by Aunt Guihua's aggressiveness and couldn't help wondering if he had made a mistake. Then, two more aunts came out from the next yard. Damn, this eldest aunt might be sick. He would just ask someone else.
Aunt Huang and Aunt Liu also saw the driver and came over to watch the fun. Aunt Guihua winked at them. Before they understood what was going on, she smiled and asked:
"Hello, aunties. I'd like to ask, is Si Yao from your village?"
Aunt Huang and Aunt Liu felt a pang in their hearts and secretly cursed Si Yao, the little beast, for harming so many men and why he even brought him into the village?
"No, there is no such person in our village. Go ask somewhere else."
"There's no benefit in lying to you. Do you think I'm a liar?"
The driver fell into autism as he looked at the three aunts in front of him who said the same thing. What was going on? Did he really come to the wrong place?
"Sorry to bother you, thank you Auntie. I'll go ask somewhere else."
As soon as the driver left, Aunt Huang said hurriedly: "Let's go and tell the village chief."
The driver replied and waited by the side. The maid's mood was heavier than going to the grave. She would have a hard time reporting back if she couldn't find anyone. The weather was so hot and stuffy, and she had nothing to eat or drink, so where could she find anyone?
After thinking it over, I decided to go back and wait for her to ask more before taking any action.
On this side, the village chief had just given Si Yao the things sent by the county magistrate. The two of them talked as they walked. The oil refinery was going to be built next to Lu Yuan's house. There was a large open space there, close to the mountain and close to the water source, which could save a lot of manpower.
After Lu Yuan left, his yard became empty, and it was a good place to accommodate Magistrate Li's people. The village chief's wife and a few other women were already cleaning the house. There wasn't much stuff in it, so they just swept the dust and moved in a few wooden beds, and added some pots and pans.
The people selected by County Magistrate Li were all strong men, so their food naturally had to be taken seriously. The village chief decided to use public grain to entertain them, but he had not yet decided on a woman to cook.
The village chief thought about it for a while, looked at Si Yao and said:
"Yao girl, your mother is a good cook. Let her cook and others help in the kitchen. What do you think?"
Si Yao paused for a moment, then spoke:
"I have no objection. You can ask her. If she is willing, she can go. If she is not willing, find someone else."
The village chief nodded. It would be fine as long as Yao girl didn't object. Si Laoer had been looking after the vegetable garden. He went to check on it from time to time. It was well taken care of. He weeded when necessary and watered when necessary. Some of the vegetables were ready to eat these days.
The couple were both hard-working people, but they had no opinions of their own. He had also heard the gossip about Si Lao Er, and in his opinion, Si Lao Er deserved to be punished. Yao Yatou couldn't bear to do it, so he had to temper that stubborn man.
"Village chief, village chief, someone is coming."
Aunt Huang, Aunt Liu, and Aunt Guihua seemed to be running over, panting. Si Yao and the village chief looked at each other. Who are coming?
"Someone came to the village entrance, asking about that bastard Si Yao. We said there was no such person in the village, but I don't know if he believed us."
Si Yao's eyes darkened. As soon as she made a move, someone came looking for Si Yao?
"who?"
The village chief was shocked, fearing that the other party had ill intentions.
"A young man. The material he was wearing looked expensive, and his accent didn't sound like someone from our area."
Aunt Huang had a sharp eye, and thanks to the fact that she came into contact with many people when selling spiced melon seeds, she knew that the young man's clothes would cost at least three taels of silver.
Si Yao asked:
"Where did Wang go?"
The village chief was stunned, then spoke:
"She left late last night. Could she be in the old house now?"
Si Lao San went to the county government office with them this morning. He left immediately after hearing that Si Po was sentenced to exile. As for Wang's words... he didn't pay attention to them.
Wang was indeed in the old house. She had nowhere to go. She hated everything. She hated Boss Si for being heartless, hated Si Yao for being self-degrading, and hated Si Yao even more for being cruel and ruthless!
