Chapter 530 Seeking Welfare for the Villagers

Gao E asked Luo Dagang after she discovered something unusual after Luo Qing'er met Xu Boyan.

Luo Dagang did not hide this matter from her, but he might not know how to tell Luo Qing'er.

Also, Luo Qing'er started having nightmares again, which might be a sign of memory recovery.

Luo Qing'er was too young at the time and had experienced such a huge change. She might have protected herself by forgetting that memory.

Now that she has grown up and with Xu Boyan's stimulation, the memories she had hidden away may be slowly awakening.

"My elder brother must have kept it a secret for my own good." Luo Qing'er said confidently, "There is no one in the world who treats me better than my elder brother."

"I'm glad you know." Gao E was very relieved.

Otherwise, it would be totally unworthy for Luo Dagang to have worked so hard to raise Luo Qing'er.

Luo Qing'er laughed, a smile that slowly became a bit cunning. She approached Sister Gao and whispered, "I'm so bored in the village. Can I help out in Sister-in-law's shop like Han Yue did?"

"Don't worry, big sister. I'll wear a face scarf and won't cause any trouble for my third sister-in-law." Luo Qing'er promised.

"No." Gao E refused bluntly. "Master Jin is away recently, so you can teach the girls in the village to read in her place."

"Oh." Luo Qing'er looked disappointed.

As soon as she fell asleep at night, Luo Qing'er started dreaming again.

In her dream, she was running happily in a long corridor, followed by a group of people urging her to slow down. But when she turned around, she saw only a sea of ​​blood and corpses...

She ran over like crazy, but no matter how hard she ran, she couldn't get over it. She suddenly woke up and gasped for breath, scaring Que'er beside her so much that she hugged the quilt.

There was a dense sound of gongs outside. Gao E had already gotten up and lit the oil lamp.

Gao E thought Luo Qing'er was woken up by the sound of the gong outside: "Qing'er, watch them and don't go out casually."

Luo Qing'er was stunned for a moment before she reacted and nodded.

Although arrangements had been made before, the intensity of the gong sounds still exceeded Gao E's expectations.

She walked back and forth in the main room, knowing that Qian Yong's trick would probably attract some petty thieves, but if there were too many petty thieves it would be a big trouble.

Chen Ke and the others in the school were also woken up.

Chen Ke put on his clothes and was about to go home to take a look, but was stopped by Du Weiqing.

"You'll need someone to protect you if you go back like this," Du Weiqing advised. "Let's wait here for news. We'll go to He County with you tomorrow."

But Chen Ke was still anxious: "Although my wife is steady and calm in dealing with things, she is a woman after all. She will feel more at ease with a man at home."

Du Weiqing said that you underestimate your wife: "What if something happens on your way back? Wouldn't that make your wife even more passive?"

Chen Ke thought about it and walked back and forth, not knowing how to make a choice.

Du Weiqing and Hong Sheng looked at each other, then turned around and went to sleep.

Gao E sat in the main room and waited for half the night. She was not worried about those petty thieves, but she was afraid that someone would come up with the idea of ​​robbing the nursery.

Now only the people of Batou Village know the location of the nursery. If there is a problem there, it is very likely that people from Batou Village will be responsible. She doesn't find it difficult, but she feels a little disheartened.

It wasn't until the rooster crowed twice that Chen Jie came back.

"How is it?" Gao E asked hurriedly.

"We caught more than 30 people. Luo Dagang and others went to chase those who escaped." Chen Jie described the situation ahead breathlessly.

"Is anyone injured in the village?" Gao E asked worriedly.

"It's just a minor injury." Chen Jie didn't care. "My eldest brother asked me to tell my second sister-in-law to rest assured. I still have to go and tie someone up."

"Be careful." Gao E warned.

"It's okay." Chen Jie responded and left.

Gao E didn't expect so many people to come. It's true that people die for money.

The people from Batou Village did not sleep all night, and by dawn they had tied up more than fifty people at the village entrance.

Those people thought about it all night and felt that someone had set a trap for them.

When Gao E came over, all the strong laborers in the village were at the village entrance.

"Uncle Zheng." Gao E came over and greeted Zheng Fengan.

"These people are really evil. They pulled out the mulberry seedlings that had just been planted." Zheng Fengan looked at the mulberry seedlings that were thrown around in a mess.

Gao E glanced at the mulberry saplings on the side and saw that many of them had been pulled out.

She suddenly thought that Qian Yong had only brought people to the village entrance, and these people came to their village in the dark, so how could they have pulled out so many saplings so accurately.

"What are you going to do?" Zheng Fengan looked at Gao E. "Why not send them all to the government office?"

There are too many people here, and it’s not a good idea for their village to keep them detained.

"Okay, I'll ask my husband to bring people over later. Please ask Uncle Zheng to gather all the people who were on guard last night. I heard that someone was injured." Gao E asked worriedly.

"It's not a big deal." Zheng Fengan waved his hand.

"That's also our Chen family's business." Gao E said seriously, "We've all been busy all night, we can't just sit there and do nothing."

"It's not a big deal, nothing compared to what you did for the big guys before."

"Uncle Zheng gathered them together, and I fought for some benefits for everyone. I didn't pay, but others did," Gao E said with a smile.

Zheng Fengan thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

Those people originally wanted to go back and rest, but when they heard that Gao E wanted to talk to them about something, they gathered again.

Gao E told them what happened yesterday and explained that Qian Yong did it on purpose to destroy the mulberry seedlings they planted.

The villagers were filled with indignation when they heard this. These outsiders were really too mean.

"If that's the case, we can't let him go easily." Zheng Yicheng said angrily.

"Since he is willing to spend one or two taels of silver to buy a mulberry sapling, everyone can take ten mulberry saplings to sell to him. Take three or five more of the ones that were damaged last night. Just consider it as your hard-earned money." Gao E said directly.

If Gao E said this, everyone would no longer be sleepy, and their eyes would be brighter than if they had seen silver.

Zheng Fengan knew that Gao E was good at doing this kind of thing: "Since he did this on purpose, he definitely won't buy it."

"It's okay. He was the one who spread the word, and so many people were arrested because of him. As long as we force him hard enough, he will have to buy it even if he doesn't want to." Gao E said with certainty.

"He's shooting himself in the foot." Zheng Yicheng said with a smile, "We can't let him get away with it."

Everyone agreed.

He immediately went home to eat something, took the corresponding number of saplings, and went to He County with Chen Qing and the people he had captured last night.

But what Gao E was most worried about did not happen. No one went to the mulberry seedling nursery last night.

Gao E followed behind in the carriage, thinking that if this matter became a big deal, the only variable would be Xu Boyan.

But she didn't dare to negotiate with Xu Boyan easily. He had such an experience and struggled to get to where he is now. It was normal for him to do whatever he wanted about trivial matters.

She also didn't want to tell Xu Boyan about Luo Qing'er.

Luo Qing'er did not change her name, but Xu Boyan had no reaction when he saw her. She was not sure what Xu Boyan's attitude towards Luo Qing'er was.

Then what can I exchange with Xu Boyan now?
