Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

Chapter 23 Dashan Village Interpersonal Network

After listening, Yan Yiyi asked a pointed question: "If we outsiders quarrel or fight with someone from these big families, how will the village chief handle it?"

Aunt Qi and Aunt Zhang looked at each other. Thinking that she had just married into the family, they were worried that she might get into trouble accidentally. Aunt Zhang could only tell the truth: "If the relationship between that person and the clan leader is not very good, and the matter will not endanger the family's reputation, the village chief will handle it impartially.

But if the clan leader is close to the person and the person is a family member, the village chief will give the clan leader face and give him a lighter sentence."

Yan Yiyi nodded to show that he had heard it, and understood that the village chief had no choice but to do so. Although he was the village chief, if something happened, who could guarantee that the government would give him justice?

If this brings disaster to his family, he cannot escape the blame. Although it is unfair to the victim, who made you weak? If you have the guts, just fight him!

Do you expect others to make decisions for you and the lives of your family?

Haha, few people dare to daydream like this.

"Aunts, do the Bai, Wang, and Zhou families have any powerful in-laws?"

Aunt Zhang thought for a moment and said, "The granddaughter of the Bai family married a wealthy family in our county as a concubine. I heard that she gave birth to a son and is quite favored."

Aunt Qi added, "They are from a family called Zhu in the county. Mr. Zhu's first wife and second wife took in three concubines, all of whom gave birth to daughters. Only the girl from the Bai family gave birth to a son a year after her marriage. He is the only child of the Zhu family. I heard that Mr. Zhu loves him very much."

Aunt Zhang nodded and said, "The Wang family has a niece who married the county magistrate's brother-in-law. I don't know the details, so I just heard about it."

Aunt Qi continued: "The Zhou family doesn't seem to have any powerful in-laws, but the grandson of the Zhou clan leader is already a student and will take the exam for a scholar next year."

Yan Yiyi understood that they were all related to the main family, and as long as those people from the side branches did not endanger their entire family, there would not be too much trouble.

She didn't want to cause trouble, but she wanted to understand the situation in advance, know herself and the enemy, in case trouble came and she was too harsh when dealing with it, which might cause trouble.

"What about the rest of the village? Is there anyone we need to pay special attention to?"

The two thought about it carefully again, and after searching once, Aunt Qi said: "Including your family, there are five families with the surname Li in our village, one of which is Li Laizi and his wife.

That couple were a pair of complete scoundrels. Whenever they smelled meat at a certain house, they would go there with their bowl in hand. They would not even accept one bowl and would insist on half a bowl. If the other party didn't give them one, they would just stay there and make a scene, which was quite ugly.

So we usually keep the door tightly closed when we cook meat at home.”

"Right, right, right," Aunt Zhang Wu added, "The village chief and several clan leaders are at your house now. They won't dare to come to your house to make trouble. After they leave, remember to close the door immediately and don't let them in."

"Then the two aunts, please pay attention when you go back. I'd like to trouble you to share the leftover dishes. This is the custom in my family and it also means to share in the good fortune.

There is no need to divide the gifts between the families of the other clan leaders. We will prepare wedding cakes and candies for them. You will also have some, but they will be less. Please forgive me for that."

When they heard that it was the custom in her family, the two aunts did not refuse and understood what she was reminding them to pay attention to.

She shared all the vegetables in the house with them. Won't those two scoundrels smell the food and chase them home?

As for what she said about giving less points and being forgiving, they knew what was going on and understood her intentions.

Hate leftovers?

Haha, some people can’t even eat the leftovers!

What’s more, the food is so greasy?

Although Xin Ye was the groom, considering that he still had to take care of a patient, they toasted him with wine and did not dare to get him drunk.

They were full and satisfied, but the father hadn't eaten yet, so the wedding banquet ended in an hour.

Xin Ye personally escorted the village chief and several clan leaders to their doorsteps, and presented them with wedding candies and cakes as gifts one by one. The clan leaders came and left in joy.

Aunt Qi and Aunt Zhang divided the dishes skillfully, and each of the families who came to help received a portion of dish and wedding candy and cakes. Aunt Zhang and Aunt Qi stayed to help wash the dishes and clean, while the others went back first.

Uncle Zhang took the gifts that their family received back home, and Aunt Qi specifically told her son to stay away from Li Laizi and his wife.

The two of them closed the door when washing dishes, for fear that those two bastards would break in and rummage around.

Xin Ye brought the cooked porridge and medicine into the room and fed them to Father Li. Yan Yiyi was still the bride, and it was not appropriate for her to leave the room when there were outsiders in the house, even though they had just met. Rules were rules, and the two aunts repeatedly warned her not to leave the room.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The sudden knock on the door scared the two aunts. Xin Ye had been warned by the two aunts, so he didn't say anything. The two aunts continued to work on their work and didn't respond.

"Why does it close so early?" Li Laizi's wife muttered.

The wall of Xinye's house was quite high. Li Laizi jumped around a few times but couldn't see anything. He complained to his wife, "I told you to come earlier but you wouldn't listen."

"Isn't the village chief here? Do you dare to make the village chief angry and then expel us from the village?" Li Laizi's wife is not afraid of her own man.

"Bah! Li Quezi is such a stingy guy, he's the only one who can get hard? How dare he enter the bridal chamber so early?"

"What? You're trying to get him hard when he can't get hard? I'm telling you, his wife is a slut, and you don't mind her being dirty."

"Alright, alright, let's go back and eat." He couldn't break open such a thick door.

When Li Laizi's wife saw him leaving, she spat at the door, and left cursing, spreading the news that Li Guizi's wife was a piece of trash all the way.

Some people thought that she couldn't get anything to eat and was just complaining. Others, who were dissatisfied because they didn't get to eat the wedding wine and meat, echoed her remarks.

Li Laizi's wife added fuel to the fire and talked nonsense about what she saw in the county town.

Then there was the story of the cripple from the Li family who married a slut who was sold to a brothel. The woman had been captured by bandits and human traffickers before, and had been slept with by countless men.

Many people believed it without knowing the situation.

After hearing this, Aunt Qi and Aunt Zhang went up to argue with the people, but they said that they had received bribes and their words could not be trusted.

It was already dark at this time, and it was impossible for the two of them to run to their house to report the news. What if they disturbed the couple from entering the bridal chamber?

Anyway, it doesn't matter if they talk about this matter tomorrow morning. The two decided to find out who spread the rumor first and then tell A Ye's wife early tomorrow morning.

Yan Yiyi and Xin Ye had no idea that what they did in the county town was seen by Li Laizi's wife, who distorted the truth and spread rumors to cause trouble.

At this moment, they were looking into each other's eyes.
