The fat wife is rebellious: she was spoiled by the group on the way to escape famine

Just as Jiang Jinhe expected, everyone in the Song family believed her, except for one person.

Song Wenqin didn't really believe what she said, but instead became more convinced that the young lady was a pear spirit.

In his mind, these things were too bizarre and could not be done by ordinary people.

The next morning, before it was fully light, the people in the village below were already eager to set off.

The dawn has not yet broken, but the village is already bustling with activity, and everyone is busy making final preparations.

The village chief also wanted to go to Chendi as soon as possible. When he was about to set off, Mr. Huo appeared in front of him with several other families who had lost their daughters.

"Village chief, if you all leave, what will happen to our girl?"

They urgently asked the village chief for help.

"Village Chief, you are responsible for this!"

Several fathers said this almost at the same time.

The meaning of these families was very clear: they were all part of the village, and as the village chief, they had the obligation to gather the entire village to deal with the horse bandits and rescue their girls.

After hearing this, not only the village chief, but all the people in the village below were furious.

"Who the hell are you? You actually want us to die for your daughter?"

A young man angrily questioned Mr. Huo, his face full of dissatisfaction with this powerful man.

"What's there to save? She might have already lost her reputation!"

Another person echoed this, saying he didn't hold out much hope for the missing women.

"That's right. Mr. Huo has been back home for several years. What benefits has he brought to the villagers of Xiafang Village?"

Some people directly pointed out what Mr. Huo had done over the years, and there was no lack of accusations in their words.

"That's right. You've been exploiting everyone, charging such high rents. During this famine, other families have nothing to eat, but you have tons of food. If the bandits don't come to rob you, who else will they rob?"

More people began to agree, and the scene suddenly became noisy.

"Your daughter was kidnapped because of her own fault. It has nothing to do with you!"

An angry villager shouted, his tone full of dissatisfaction and blame.

"You have more silver than you can spend, right? Just give us 20,000 taels of silver and we can save that person! And rescue the other family's daughter as well!"

Another person continued to roar, his face full of contempt for Huo Tianlin's greed and indifference.

The villagers' emotions poured out like a flood, almost drowning Huo Tianlin in the raging waves.

The whole village seemed to be shrouded in a smell of gunpowder.

His face flushed red, and he wanted to refute but couldn't find the right words. After all, everything everyone said was true.

The feeling of being speechless made him extremely embarrassed.

But he was extremely reluctant to spend such a large sum of money for the rescue.

But if you really stand by and do nothing, you will probably be ridiculed by more people behind your back.

The few neighbors who had promised to help him were already ashamed and hid aside.

Their daughter was worthless in their eyes, and they would not feel it was important even if they lost her. This attitude made everyone present feel disgusted.

The people from the Song family remained silent and did not participate in the argument. After all, they usually had a distant relationship with others.

But Jiang Jinhe saw through the truth behind all this.

In this place, ten taels of silver can support a family's basic needs for a year.

And twenty thousand taels of silver is simply an astronomical figure.

A hypocrite like Mr. Huo would never be willing to spend such a large sum of money to save the lives of his loved ones.

Everything that just happened was just a play he carefully orchestrated to save face. There was no sincerity at all.

Just when everyone thought that this matter had nothing to do with the Song family, Huo Tianlin suddenly ran in this direction.

However, like the village chief, he didn't really get close to this place.

"Old Song, I know you're one of the most capable people in our village. Your sons are all outstanding young talents. Could you please help rescue my precious daughter, Xiaohui?"

Huo Tianlin spoke, his voice revealing a hint of earnestness.

After hearing these words, Jiang Jinhe was stunned - there are such shameless people in the world!

Before, he was arrogant and tried to exchange insignificant rice for priceless treasures; now when it is his turn to ask for help from others, he becomes timid. This attitude of being arrogant at first and then humble later makes people shake their heads and sigh.

Just when Jiang Jinhe was about to step forward and teach him a lesson, she saw Huo Xiucai actually dragging her into the conversation again.

"I heard that your Sanniang is also a great hero. She was able to bravely rescue others in such a dangerous environment as Tongshan."

"As long as you are willing to contribute the treasure that drove away the tiger, you will be able to protect everyone and bring them back safely, including my children, of course!"

When he said this, his eyes were full of expectation and pleading.

Seeing this, several families nearby who had lost their children were not willing to be outdone and began to plead with each other: "That's right, Old Song, you must help our children, it's so pitiful!"

"For the sake of our fellow villagers, please lend a helping hand!"

After hearing this, Jiang Jinhe almost laughed out loud - this guy is really a skilled political master.

His face is as thick as the leather of a cow, but his mind is so simple!

Do you think your little tricks can really fool people?

After a cold snort, she walked straight out, staring at Huo Tianlin with sharp eyes.

This gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the other person's heart, making him feel a chill all over his body.

The last time I got humiliated was because I fell into the hands of this tomboy.

"Well... Miss Three shouldn't just sit there and do nothing, right? After all, we are all from the same hometown."

In fact, Jiang Jinhe already had a solution.

Since this old man Huo wants to force me to help through moral kidnapping, I might as well make him pay money and lose face!

So she slowly glanced at everyone and pretended to be thinking deeply.

"That's right. After all, we are neighbors. Since Mr. Zhou has put forward such a generous idea, we should actively respond to it."

"How about this, you're not going to give the bandits 20,000 silver coins in exchange for your life? If you really want us to help you solve your problem, take out this money and share it with everyone."

"As for the thing you mentioned that can scare away tigers, please ask Mr. Huo to go to Tongshan to get it and bring back everything."

"If we have these two things, everyone will definitely consider rescuing your daughter while also helping other girls out of danger. What do you think?"

When the villagers of Xiafang Village heard that there were 20,000 taels of silver to be divided, they were stunned with surprise.

Twenty thousand taels!

Even if it is divided according to the number of people in the villages below, each person can get at least 200 taels of silver.

This is wealth that they may not be able to accumulate in their entire lives or even several generations!
