After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

The one shouting outside was Zhang Erzi.

It turned out that the second son's wife ran back and found the second son, and hurriedly explained the situation to him.

The second son screamed after hearing this.

The entrance, which was originally surrounded by people, was opened up with a path because of Erzi's words.

The elders in the main hall also heard what the second son said, and Elder Zhang stood up immediately.

"The Shen family is leaving. Aren't you suspicious? Why don't you go and take a look? If they really leave, I wonder how you'll explain it to the villagers."

After the Zhang clan elder finished speaking, he left with a few clan members.

Everyone else knew where he was going, which was to stop the Shen family.

By the time the Zhang family found the Shen family, they had already boarded the carriage.

There just hasn't been any action.

It wasn't that they didn't want to go, but because there were a lot of people blocking the way in front of the carriage.

Shen Jinyao was standing in front of the carriage arguing with Aunt Niu and the others, but Aunt Niu and the others' voices were loud and clear.

"Ms. Shen, you can't leave."

"Aunt, it's not that I want to leave, it's just that we need to find a place to stay. But we can't build houses in Wuhe Village, so we have no choice but to leave."

"Yeah yeah."

The people from the Shen family followed suit, and most of them didn't know what had happened at the village chief's doorstep that morning.

But they knew that what the eldest lady said was right.

At this moment, Aunt Niu saw the Zhang clan elder coming over with his men. She said to Shen Jinyao, "Miss Shen, wait a minute. The Zhang clan elder is the most reasonable person."

Aunt Niu is the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, so she naturally thinks that the elders of the Zhang family are reliable.

When Shen Jinyao saw the elder of the Zhang clan, she bowed respectfully.

She knew that in such a backward village, the status of the elders was very high.

The clan elder's surname is Zhang, which means that all the members of the Zhang family listen to him first and then to the village chief.

The elder of the Zhang clan stood in front of Shen Jinyao and looked at her.

She was neither humble nor arrogant, and was not at all like the kind of person who would lie as described by the Sun and Li elders.

"Girl, you guys stay, I can make the decision."

Shen Jinyao heard from her father Shen Maoshan that there were three great elders in Wuhe Village.

It seems that the words of this clan elder can represent one-third of the people.

Shen Jinyao's face showed a surprise, and she said, "Really? Elder Zhang? Thank you so much. I hope our Zhang family can help you more in the future."

The Zhang clan elder stroked his beard and said, "Haha, no need to be so polite. In the future, you can ask our Zhang family to come more often when building houses."

The people from the Zhang family who came with them also quickly expressed their opinions, "Yes, we in the Zhang family don't have anything else, but we have a lot of people."

"Still strong."

Before Shen Jinyao could say anything, she saw a large group of people coming from a distance.

Walking in front was the village chief, Uncle Li.

The elder of the Zhang clan also heard the voice, and when he looked behind him he saw who was coming.

He snorted coldly, but said nothing more.

After all, the Li family is in charge now, so it’s not easy to confront them head-on.

If they came to keep Shen Jinyao, he would naturally be happy to see it.

If they were here to chase people away, then he...

"Miss Shen, Master Shen, we have discussed it and can help you build a house."

Before the Zhang clan elders could figure out how to solve this problem, they heard Village Chief Li say that he wanted Shen Jinyao to stay.

The Shen family was naturally happy, but they didn't dare to show it too obviously. They just watched Shen Jinyao's next move one by one.

Shen Jinyao knelt and saluted, saying, "Uncle Li, I would like to thank all the elders and fellow villagers for your kindness. In this case, our Shen family will stay in Wuhe Village."

When Uncle Li heard what Shen Jinyao said, he knew that he had fallen into a trap.

He originally thought that he would have to go through some negotiations at the Shen family, but he only said one sentence and Shen Jinyao agreed to stay.

And he said it in front of all the elders and villagers.

It was too late for Uncle Li to change his story.

Shen Jinyao saw Uncle Li's expression gradually getting worse, so she said, "Why don't we discuss how to build the house?"

Uncle Li saw that Shen Jinyao was quite respectful to him, so he said, "Then let's go to my place."

Shen Jinyao said, "In that case, let's start the work as soon as possible so I can prepare the money."

Uncle Li said, "Don't forget about the potatoes."

Shen Jinyao nodded: "Of course, Jinyao will not forget what I said. I will lead everyone to plant potatoes after I am done with my work."

When the surrounding villagers heard Shen Jinyao's words, they couldn't help but feel happy, and some even clapped their hands.

Shen Jinyao turned around and said to Shen Maoshan, "Father, my eldest brother and I will just go there."

Shen Maoshan nodded. Although he didn't know what happened here, he just knew that his daughter Jin Yao had a very difficult time.

After all, to get the arrogant villagers to agree to let them stay and help them build houses, they must have promised them something.

In this way, Shen Zhizheng accompanied Shen Jinyao and followed the elders and villagers.

Shen Zhixue, Shen Zhiyong and others told the Shen family what happened in the morning.

The Shen family members were stunned when they heard this, especially the eldest master Shen Congshan.

I didn't expect that my niece is so strategic?

After hearing this, the old lady felt both relieved and distressed for Shen Jinyao.

The comforting thing is that Shen Jinyao may be the hope of the Shen family, but the heartbreaking thing is that Shen Jinyao is still an unmarried girl, but has to shoulder the burden of the entire family.

Her body knew what was going on, and although everyone kept it a secret from her, she knew she wouldn't last long.

That day, as long as Shen Jinyao and Shen Zhizheng were away, Old Lady Shen chatted with her second son, Shen Maoshan.

No one else knew what the mother and son talked about.

Because of the inconveniences in fetching water, everyone in the Shen family has been very busy.

Of course, there are also people who have more free time.

That is the eldest master Shen Congshan.

At this time, Shen Jinyao and Shen Zhizheng were having a serious discussion with Uncle Li and three elders of the clan.

What they discussed was how to build the house.

How much labor is needed, how much materials are needed, and how much silver is needed.

Sun Lang looked at the sketch drawn by Shen Zhizheng and couldn't help but read it several times.

He was actually able to draw a house based on Shen Jinyao's description.

Finally, a rough plan was decided. Shen Jinyao wanted to leave, but was kept by Uncle Li.

"Wait a minute, do you really have potato seeds?"

Shen Jinyao nodded and drew a potato on the paper.

"Don't worry, Uncle Li, I will make you a glorious village chief."

These words really touched Uncle Li's heart.

What he cares about from beginning to end is face.

Shen Zhizheng and the other person walked back in silence.

Shen Jinyao noticed her elder brother's silence and asked, "What's wrong, elder brother?"

"Jin'er, are you sure you want to split up?"
