I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

"Since you said you didn't know about this, then He Fangfang was the only one who did it.

I want you to go to the town and report to the authorities so that they can deal with her.

As for you, from today on, A Sheng and I will return this character "王" to you.

Since I have sold myself to Aning, from today on, my surname is Song. Whether you are rich or poor and can't afford to eat, it has nothing to do with me, Song Qiuyue.

"Qiuyue, you can't... Your brother and sister are still young, they can't be without their mother..."

"..."

Wang Qiuyue smiled self-deprecatingly. She and A Sheng were also motherless children, but what had Wang Qingshan done?

Until now, he is still thinking about He Fangfang and their children.

"Grandpa Lizheng, Qiuyue, please go to the town and let the government make the final decision on whether it's Wang Qingshan or that woman."

"Yes, we follow the law, and we can't find any fault with it."

"Wang Qingshan, Qiuyue just gave you a chance to live, but you didn't cherish it. You deserve it!"

"Bah, it would be best if I could exile you three thousand miles away and never let you come back.

Banyue Village doesn't want villagers like this!"

"Yes, one fish spoils the whole pot of soup, and Half Moon Village doesn't want it!"

Just now when Wang Qiuyue and Wang Qingshan were talking, Song Anning went back to the house to get medicine and disinfected and bandaged Song Erhe's wound.

Xiangxiang just checked it and the wound is not deep, but it looks scary. The kitchen knife went in at an angle and the wound area is large. It will take a while to heal.

Song Erhe put down his clothes, covered his wound, and said with a stern face:

"Wang Qingshan, when Qiuyue signed the contract to sell herself, I came to your house to tell you.

It’s just that Qiuyue is a girl, and I’m afraid that it will be bad for her reputation if the news gets out, so you two have taken advantage of this opportunity.

Do you really think I'm dead? I can't do anything to you?"

"From among those who work at Aning's house, come out and take a few men with me to the town to report these two men to the authorities. By the way, we'll also expel Wang Qingshan and his family from Banyue Village."

"Expelled..."

"Mom, what does expulsion mean?"

Several young wives were not quite sure what it meant, so they could only approach their mother-in-law and ask quietly.

"There's a big difference between being kicked out and being expelled."

“Here, if a family commits a serious offense and is driven out, they can never return to the village again, but their household registration and land are still there, and they can still make a living by selling the land.

If they are removed from the official register, the family will cease to exist. Without a household registration, they will not have a travel permit and will be unable to travel anywhere. Their land and other possessions will also be taken away by the court."

"Wouldn't that mean there's no way to survive?"

"Pretty much, unless the whole family moves to the mountains and forests and relies on the land for survival. I've lived for over forty years, and this is the first time I've seen a family be expelled from the family."

For the people of the Nanyue Dynasty, expulsion was a severe punishment. More than half of the villagers in Banyue Village had to sign and agree to this. The village head would then report it to the government, who would verify that the family was indeed extremely vicious before expulsion could take place.

Song Erhe was extremely angry, which is why he made this decision.

Song Anning's slap had indeed made He Fangfang faint. She had woken up when the servant mentioned the ghost marriage. Under the circumstances, she could only lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.

When He Fangfang heard Song Erhe say that he wanted to expel their family, she finally became scared. It only took her a moment to jump up from the ground and kneel in front of Song Erhe.

"Uncle Erhe, you can't remove me from the list, you can't do this!

I will return the fifty taels of silver right now, and I won’t dare to do it again, never again…”

Song Erhe looked up at the He family, and they quickly lowered their heads, trying to reduce their presence.

He Fangfang is just a married daughter. There is no need for them to make the head of the village and the whole village unhappy because of her. They still have to live their lives in the future.

Similarly, Wang Qingshan’s eldest brother had the same idea. Their parents were gone, and only the two brothers were left. They rarely interacted with each other, and after this incident, he avoided them even more.

No matter how much Wang Qingshan and his wife begged for mercy, Wang Qiuyue did not show any mercy. Seeing them crying bitterly, she felt happy in her heart, and even had a faint excitement of revenge.

Now she just hopes that these two people will disappear from her and A Sheng's world.

The villagers were very efficient. A few men found a rope and tied up the two men in no time. They found an ox cart and threw them on it.

Su Chen had been watching the fun from the side, and only spoke before the villagers set off.

"Aning, take out the sign I gave you and have your second grandfather take it with him. It will make things easier for you."

Song An Ning was a bit embarrassed. It was fine if she was just holding the sign to bully others, but if Second Grandpa took it, wouldn't that be a problem? That would mean that the whole village was taking advantage of Su Chen.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up! The government office is very busy right now. It's easier to get things done with a badge. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity, I have to take the initiative to offer it to you."

"Oh my, in this day and age, there are still people asking for help, they are so kind.

I'm a little embarrassed to do this in front of you, otherwise I would have taken it earlier."

"Hahaha……"

Su Chen likes Song Anning's straightforwardness. It's easy and comfortable to get along with friends like this, and it's not tiring at all.

Thinking that Second Grandpa still had an injury on his arm, doing what Su Chen said would indeed save a lot of trouble. So before everyone left, Song An Ning stuffed the sign into Song Erhe's hand and grabbed some change for him to use as a bribe.

After they left, many of the villagers who came to watch the fun dispersed. Many women, seeing Su Chen's handsome appearance and superb martial arts skills, were actually attracted to him.

"Young Master, are you from town? What are you doing in our Half Moon Village?

What does your family do? How old are you? Can you get married? I have a niece..."

"..."

"Cough, cough..."

The women spoke eagerly, and Su Chen blushed, which was rare for him, and looked at Song An Ning for help.

Song An Ning laughed for a while at first. She didn't expect that Su Chen, who was fearless, would be like this at this time.

Seeing that Song An Ning didn't say anything, Su Chen could only bite the bullet and perfunctorily say a few words:

"Twenty-one years old, still unmarried, and all her family members have died.

This time I came here to discuss business with Aning."

"..."

"Oh, they're all dead. That's a pretty tough life."

"So, you really are the owner of Zuixianju? You must be very rich, right?

It's also heartbreaking, losing all his family at such a young age."

"Young Master, I'm not saying anything, but you didn't go to the temple to pray? I'm afraid your family has encountered something bad..."

"..."

Obviously, he underestimated the gossiping ability of women. He just wanted to get rid of them, but unexpectedly, these aunts became even more excited. Several of them surrounded Su Chen and told him the best solutions they could think of.

On the other side, Song Anning first helped Song Dashan in and asked Xiangxiang to check him. It turned out that he just had a sprained waist. He just needed to apply some plasters and avoid doing heavy work. The pain would be relieved in a few days.

When she came out, she saw Su Chen sitting alone under a big tree at the door with a smile on his face.

Song Anning's curiosity was piqued. What did these aunties say? They even praised this guy for being beautiful.

"Hey, what are you grinning about?"
