Farming and reading family

Not only Zheng Wang, but everyone around him was stunned.

In the past, Gao E acted like a landlord's daughter and didn't interact with the villagers. Now, although Gao E is not arrogant, she doesn't interact much with the villagers.

It was the first time that the villagers saw her talking to others like this.

At the same time, I also felt Gao E's determination. There was no room for negotiation on what she was going to do.

The corners of Zheng Wang's mouth twitched several times, but he couldn't utter a word.

"To put it bluntly, the lives of those of you who have left the village collective have nothing to do with me." Gao E said this and left.

When the villagers heard Gao E say this, they were even less willing to take in the elderly and children from those families.

Gao E was right. They had worked hard to survive the winter and held on until now. Even now, without the Chen family's food support, they could not hold on.

These families think it is easy, but there is no such thing as a cheap thing in the world.

Zheng Wang and his wife looked at each other. Their family was fine. There were no elderly people living there, only two children.

It was even more difficult to arrange for the remaining two households with elderly people. In the end, those people left in disgrace amid the villagers' disgusted gazes.

I thought that even if I couldn't be a long-term worker, at least I would have something to eat.

After Gao E finished packing, she took Lu Hao and Doctor Sun to He County. Of course, she gave some of the newly dug spring bamboo shoots to the old couple in the city. Everyone in the village knew that Gao E was sending food to the two elders of the Chen family.

Besides, the old couple of the Chen family had two days of leisure after arriving in He County, especially Jiang, who thought that she also had a house in the city, so she knocked on the doors of her neighbors to introduce herself, emphasizing that her son was a scholar.

The neighbors looked at Jiang and exchanged some polite words without letting her in, which made Jiang very dissatisfied.

After two days of this, Jiang was so bored that she went to buy vegetables with Qin. However, no matter what they bought, they thought it was too expensive. She even quarreled with the vendor, saying that the vegetables were used to feed pigs in their family.

As a result, she offended almost all the people in the vegetable market, and they ignored her when they saw her.

Chen Fansheng didn't go out much. He was used to finding a place to sit and drink some wine after dinner, but the yard was too deserted and there wasn't even a chicken.

When Gao E went there, only Chen Fansheng was at home, so Gao E was not so polite. She said that the bamboo shoots were freshly dug and wanted the old couple to have a taste of them. She also specifically reminded them to use more oil when frying.

Doctor Sun said that Chen Fansheng was lucky to have such a daughter-in-law, and Chen Fansheng could only smile.

The medicinal materials needed for Lianhua Qingwen were not expensive, but there was a shortage of Rhodiola rosea in places like Hexian County, so Gao E bought them all.

After buying the medicinal herbs, Gao E went to the government office to see if there were any new announcements.

As soon as He Tangchun came out of the yamen, he saw Gao E reading the notice. As a woman standing among a group of men, she was very conspicuous. He wondered if she was here to buy something that others didn't want.

Suddenly he remembered something and walked straight towards Gao E.

"Lord He?" Gao E turned her head and saw He Tangchun standing behind her.

He Tangchun nodded: "Are you the daughter-in-law of the Chen family in Batou Village?"

"Yes?" Gao E felt that Lord He's question was inexplicable.

"Then what is your relationship with Chen Fancai?"

Gao E was puzzled: "According to seniority, he is my husband's uncle, but we are no longer related."

He Tangchun nodded slightly.

"What happened?" Gao E thought that Lord He would not ask this question for no reason.

"He was the clerk in charge of inspecting Yutou Dam. Although the accident at Yutou Dam was unavoidable, early discovery and evacuation of the people could have prevented many casualties. He is suspected of dereliction of duty." He Tangchun said directly.

"This matter..." Gao E looked embarrassed. "I heard from my husband that the village head also contacted him, but he didn't care. If you don't believe it, you can go to our village and ask."

"It's not that I don't believe it, I just want to investigate it thoroughly." He Tangchun really couldn't see what was different about Gao E.

"When something happens, we naturally have to get to the bottom of it. But he disappeared after selling the land to my family, and we don't know where he and his family went."

He Tangchun had already sent Chang Zhinan to Baotou Village, but he happened to run into Gao E there and asked, "I'll check this out myself."

"Your Excellency is wise." Gao E saluted.

He Tangchun nodded and left.

Gao E had previously thought that this matter would be traced back to Chen Fancai, but she didn't expect it to be traced back to Chen Fancai so late. She really didn't know where Chen Fancai and his family had gone.

There was no new announcement from the government office, so Gao E took her people back to Baotou Village. As soon as she returned to the village, she was surrounded by people. They told them that the government office had been there and they were worried that the Chen family would be involved in a lawsuit.

"Don't worry, I have already told the official who came that your family and Chen Fancai's family have severed their relationship." Zheng Fengan assured.

"Thank you, Uncle Zheng." Gao E nodded.

Although there were some difficulties in the past, the people who still stayed in Baotou Village were united with their Chen family, which saved her a lot of trouble.

Back at Chen's house, Chen Jie told her again about the visitor from the government office: "That family really didn't leave us any hope."

Gao E thought about what Jin Ruyi said about seeing Chen Fancai's family. She always felt that the family might come back at any time.

"It's a pity that the two families had a big fight before, otherwise Dad would definitely be worried again if he knew about it." Lei said unhappily.

Chen Qing did not deny what Lei said. His father was the kind of man who forgot the pain once the wound had healed and always wanted the whole family to be well.

"Anyway, everyone has a rough idea about this matter. Just look at the temperament of Chen Baolai's family. If they come back one day, they will definitely cause some trouble." Gao E reminded.

Everyone nodded.

At night, Gao E was awakened by Xiao Wu's crying and got up to feed Xiao Wu. She heard a strong wind outside and the oil lamp that had just been lit shook and almost went out.

Yang also hurriedly stood up and whispered, "The older generation said that the evening wind is the mother wind, and once it blows, it will last for two or three days."

Gao E didn't believe this and wanted to make a joke, but suddenly her expression froze.

If this kind of wind blows for two or three days, people living in the shacks will not be able to bear it for a whole night.

Seeing Gao E suddenly become serious, Yang Shi also became worried: "Did something happen?"

"It's okay." Gao E shook her head. "Sister-in-law, please tell Peng Can to go back to the house to rest. It would be troublesome if he caught a cold in such a strong wind."

"Yes." Yang immediately put on her clothes and went out.

Peng Can really wanted to go back to sleep, the wind was blowing everywhere, but he had to stay on duty.

It was not until Yang came out and told him to go back to sleep that he tucked his neck and ran back to the cave.

By dawn, Peng Can still had a fever.

Fortunately, he is usually in good health, so this kind of cold can be cured by drinking ginger soup and sweating.

"That's all the ginger we have at home." Yang threw all the ginger into the pot to cook. "If there's more, we can cook more for everyone in the family to drink."

Yang Jizong helped light the fire: "Is Alpinia officinalis okay?"
