Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

Li was a little scared, so she quietly walked to Xia Fugui's side, gently tugged at his sleeve, and motioned him to talk.

Xia Fugui grew up in Yunli Village and was particularly afraid of the village head. He was so scared that he shook his head and couldn't utter a word.

"Ms. Li, tell me, what's going on with Xia Mei's marriage? And what's going on with the one tael of silver?"

The village head had a cold expression on his face and asked sternly, "Did you arrange this marriage?"

Every word frightened Li. She was usually quite good at talking to others, but she was still a little nervous when facing the head of the village.

The village head is the most prestigious person in the village. His words are always final and any disputes in the village are decided by the village head.

Even though this was just the Xia family's family affair, it was still somewhat shameful to put it bluntly. She was afraid that if she told it out, the head of the village would not let her off easily.

Seeing the head of the village staring at her seriously, Li couldn't help swallowing and stammering:

"This... this... Xia Mei is not young anymore, so I should naturally arrange a marriage for her."

The village head also knew Li's usual temper and glanced at her.

"Oh, whose boy are you looking for?"

Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Yes... it's Niu Er from the next village. His family is well-off. Mei will enjoy a good life if she marries him."

Li spoke with a trembling voice. She just wanted to disappear here. The look in the eyes of the head of the village was really too scary.

"snort......."

The head of the village snorted coldly.

"The Niu Er you're talking about is the one who's over 40 and about the same age as Fugui."

This Li was really good at picking nice things to say. If he hadn't heard of this Niu Er before, he would have been fooled by her.

Niu Er relied on the protection of his ancestors and lived a slightly better life than other families. However, it was said that the son in his family was as old as Xia Mei, and he would beat up his wives if he was not satisfied. Two of his wives had already run away.

How could Mrs. Li have the heart to let the girl Xia Mei jump into the fire at such a young age?

"Ms. Li, although you are not Xia Mei's biological mother, our Yunli Village must not have such a thing that damages our reputation. If you don't behave yourself, other girls in our village will have to get married in the future!"

The head of the village originally did not want to get involved in such messy affairs of the Xia family, but if today's incident were to spread, saying that Yunli Village sold its daughter for money, how would other girls in the village find marriage in the future?

Yunli Village cannot allow the reputation of other families to be ruined because of this Li family.

"That's right. There are other girls in our village. How can we find a husband in the future?"

"Of course not. If my daughter can't get a good marriage because of what happened to you, Li, I will never forgive you."

"I'm embarrassed to tell anyone about this. It's really embarrassing."

The crowd was talking a lot, pointing at Li and Xia Fugui, and some people really wanted to spit on them.

These two people are really a bad apple that spoils the whole barrel.

He wanted to harm Xia Mei and bring disaster to all the girls in the village.

"Hey, that's not the way to say it. Although I'm not Xia Mei's biological mother, I've been married into the Xia family for so many years now, so naturally I have the final say on her marriage."

Hearing that the villagers had pinned the crime on him, Li was instantly displeased, and with his hands on his hips, he retorted:

"Besides, Niu Er's family has no worries about food and drink. Xia Mei will live a happy life if she marries him. Are you jealous?"

Anyway, she must get that one tael of silver. Not only can she get it, but the family can also save food for one person in the future, and she won't have to see Xia Mei's annoying face every day. She has made up her mind no matter what.

Even if he is the head of the village, he cannot interfere in the Xia family's affairs.

The people around saw how shameless Li was and shook their heads in anger. They looked at Xia Mei with more pity in their eyes.

Xia Mei, who was standing by, felt even more desperate when she saw that Li didn't even give face to the head of the village.

If she had to marry someone from the neighboring village, she...she...she would...

"Ms. Li, you dare to say that? Niu Er is about the same age as Xia Fugui, and his son is as old as Xia Mei. He even beat away his two wives. Do you think this is a good life?"

The village head was furious. This Li was just making up stories out of nothing.

"Do you want this blessing for you?"

Li glanced at Xia Fugui who was standing aside, only to see that he had his head lowered, not daring to look at the head of the village in front of him. He looked as if he was listening to a lecture, which was really useless.

snort!

Li put on a smile and said nonchalantly:

"Village head, Xia Mei is old now, so her marriage is naturally decided by me and her father. Besides, her father can't harm her."

Li didn't dare to say this directly, but she also meant that she didn't want the head of the village to interfere in the Xia family's affairs.

"Xia Fugui, is this what you mean?"

After hearing what Li said, the head of the village frowned and asked the man who was pretending to be a quail.

Xia Fugui, whose name was called, had to raise his head. Although he was full of fear of the head of the village, he thought of what Li said yesterday and looked at Xia Mei beside him, and nodded grittily.

Seeing her own father like this, Xia Mei burst into tears.

In order to save money for his biological son Xia Xiaobao to marry a wife in the future, her father was so cruel as to sell her.

Seeing Xia Fugui's attitude, Li was even more proud.

He is Xia Mei's biological father, so he can decide Xia Mei's marriage, and the village head cannot interfere.

Seeing Xia Fugui's look, the village head really wanted to spit in his face. Xia Mei was really miserable to have such a father.

At this time, Su Zhiyan, who had just run away, came back at some point. He quietly walked to Su He's side and handed her the things Su He had asked him to do.

Seeing what was in his hand, a sneer appeared on Su He's lips.

She slowly walked to Luo's side, whispered a few words in her ear, and stuffed the thing in her hand into her hand.

After hearing what Su He said, Luo smiled slightly, nodded slightly, and put the things Su He gave her into her pocket.

He took two quick steps forward, walked to the head of the village, bowed slightly and greeted him, then said loudly: "Li just said that if I can pay one or two taels of silver, Xia Mei will be a member of my Su family."

Turning around, he looked at Li and asked word by word:

"Li Chunhua, are you serious about what you said?"

Li and Luo didn't get along well, and when she heard her loud tone, she couldn't help but sarcastically said:

"It doesn't matter what I said. If you can also come up with one or two taels of silver, then Xia Mei doesn't have to marry Niu Er. Your Su family can take her home and make her a slave or a maid."
