Mo Lengzhou turned to look at the well diggers and said coldly, "It's lunch time, everyone go back and eat."

"Village chief, can we dig for a while longer? I'm afraid the well will be too full by the time I go back for dinner." A young man asked worriedly.

Lu Zhitao suppressed his displeasure and said loudly, "You can go to eat in batches. Those who stay can continue digging the well while scooping water."

"Did you remember what Miss Lu said?" Gongxi Leqing said as he turned and looked at the group of women.

"The village chief has punished you by not allowing you to eat for three days. You can stay and dig the ground to plant cabbages and radishes to atone for your sins.

You can also go back and lie down and reflect on yourself. I think you like to gossip because you have too much free time.

You actually dared to fabricate bad things about Miss Lu. You are truly hopeless!"

"Elder Gongxi, I know I was wrong. I will stay and dig the ground to plant cabbages." A sister-in-law admitted her mistake very tactfully.

"Elder, I was wrong too." The women who had just cursed fiercely came out one after another to admit their mistakes. They were all willing to stay and work.

Everyone has a sincere attitude, but no one knows whether they know they are wrong in their hearts.

"Brother Leng Zhou, I will take my mother home to reflect on herself and will never let her get into trouble again."

Zuo Kexin said with tears in her eyes, putting all the blame on her mother, as if she was the most sensible person in the world.

The teenagers digging the well looked at the slender figure with admiration in their eyes, but they did not dare to speak out to comfort her.

A young man who was deeply in love with her bravely said, "Village head, elder of the Gongxi clan, Sister Xin'er didn't say anything bad about Miss Lu."

"Yes, Zhou'er, you know what kind of person Xin'er is." Zuo Shiyi looked at Mo Lengzhou with a smile on his face.

Zuo Kexin secretly raised her eyes to look at her lover, only to see him looking at her gloomily without saying a word.

She cried and said, "Mom, please don't speak for Xin'er anymore. It's all Xin'er's fault for not stopping Aunt and the sisters-in-law from saying bad things about Miss Lu."

After she finished speaking, she saw that her lover was still indifferent. She looked at Lu Zhitao with tears in her eyes: "Miss Lu, can you forgive me?"

Zuo Kexin's appearance made many young people present feel distressed, and they all stood up to speak for her.

"Village Chief, Miss Lu, please don't blame Sister Xin'er for not stopping her. She never wants to offend anyone."

"Miss Lu, if you want to blame someone, blame me! I forgot to stop them from talking nonsense at that time."

"Miss Lu, please don't blame Sister Xin'er. She is innocent, lively and smart, and an extremely kind girl."

"Miss Lu, Xin is crying in frustration. Please be magnanimous and forgive her!"

"..."

Lu Zhitao looked at everyone coldly. This scene reminded her of the years in the late apocalypse.

She and her men were fighting zombies outside, but when she returned to the base, she heard the woman who was enjoying her protection talking bad about her behind her back.

She was very angry at the time, but her adopted sister cried to her, saying that it was all her fault and that she did not stop it in time.

Then her nominal boyfriend said with heartache that it was his fault because he did not stop it.

Her teammates who had been through thick and thin with her would also feel sorry for their adopted sister like these teenagers and advise her to be magnanimous.

The funniest thing is that she was really brainwashed by everyone, and she also felt that blaming those women who said bad things about her behind her back was petty.

Her repeated indifference made those women more reckless in saying that she was not good at this or that.

Until her so-called kind adopted sister and boyfriend conspired to cut the tendons in her hands and feet.

She finally understood that just by indulging them, she would end up with such a tragic outcome.

Lu Zhitao felt angry when he thought about how his tolerance and magnanimity would lead to his own destruction.

He shouted coldly at everyone, "Enough, what do you mean by saying this? Are you trying to force me to leave?"

Everyone suddenly fell silent, with frightened expressions on their faces. They just wanted to ask her to forgive Xin Yatou.

Seeing everyone's angry but unable to speak, Lu Zhitao took a few deep breaths to suppress the anger in her heart. She glanced around sharply.

He continued in a cold voice, "Listen to me, it was your village chief who shamelessly asked me to marry him, not me who wanted to marry him.

Since you are so dissatisfied with me, I will just leave." Her words were powerful and majestic.

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding why Miss Lu suddenly became so cold.

There was no need to emphasize this to them; they knew it was the village chief who wanted to marry her.

Seeing Lu Zhitao about to leave, Mo Lengzhou glared at everyone angrily and shouted, "If Miss Lu leaves, I will definitely follow her."

After he said that, he chased after Lu Zhitao angrily.

Mo Lengzhou has been aloof since childhood. Although he is usually polite to everyone, he only regards everyone as his responsibility.

He knew that these people were his father's subordinates who had followed him through thick and thin, and that they had fallen into such a state because of them and their father.

He did his best to keep them well fed and clothed, and never thought about his own future.

Until he met Lu Zhitao, her temperament made him respect and envy her and want to get closer to her.

She is too independent, doesn't need to rely on anyone, and doesn't care what others think.

Lu Zhitao is a special person to him. She is the girl he wants to protect, and he cannot bear to see her suffer any injustice.

At this time, he had not yet realized that he had fallen in love with her and wanted to keep her deep in his heart to protect and pamper her.

After chasing Lu Zhitao for a long distance, Mo Lengzhou finally passed her and turned around to ask seriously, "Miss Lu, did you leave because they scolded you?"

"Don't be ridiculous. Do you think I care if they scold me?" Lu Zhitao sneered.

Mo Lengzhou frowned when he heard this, which meant that she really didn't want to marry him!

This realization made him feel depressed and he lowered his head in silence.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that he looked depressed, Lu Zhitao asked curiously.

No matter how much she has been through, she is not heartless. This man treats her gently and considerately. Even if she doesn't love him, she still doesn't want to make things difficult for him.

Mo Lengzhou raised his eyes and looked at her steadily. After a long while, he sighed softly, "You don't even want to have a fake marriage with me?"

"Mo Lengzhou, you have seen it too. It is your villagers who don't want us to get married." Lu Zhitao frowned.

"But I want to marry you." Mo Lengzhou said firmly, "If you want to leave, I will go with you."

"But what about your villagers? Will they let you go?"

"Miss Lu, as long as you agree to our relationship, the rest has nothing to do with others. I won't indulge them anymore."

"Since you are so determined, if I don't stay, I will be ungrateful!" Lu Zhitao smiled with a beautiful face.

Seeing this, Mo Lengzhou hurriedly grabbed Lu Zhitao's hand and asked, "Miss Lu, do you mean you won't leave?"

There was a hint of joy and a hint of trepidation in his voice.

"Let's not leave. Let's go eat dog meat." Lu Zhitao said while gently stroking his frown.

An anxious voice came from a distance, "Village chief, elders, please go and take a look quickly, Doctor Yuan has beaten Tianyou."
