Old man Yang looked into the distance, as if recalling something. His eyes narrowed again, revealing an indescribable sense of vicissitudes.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Wang is a great benefactor to our village."

According to Old Man Yang, because of the two disasters, more than half of the land in their village was sold to Mr. Wang, and naturally, more than half of the families became tenants of Mr. Wang's family.

Since Mr. Wang bought the land, he had to protect the harvest and naturally could not allow the bandits to wreak havoc in the village.

Because Mr. Wang had connections with the chief clerk in the county government, he reported the situation of bandits in their village to the county government.

Because of this relationship, the people in the county government gave Wang Yuanwai face and specially sent people to Yanghe Village to suppress the bandits. This led to the peaceful days in Yanghe Village.

From Old Man Yang's words, Bai Zhizhi clearly felt his gratitude towards Mr. Wang, not to mention the other people in Yanghe Village.

"Mr. Wang is a very good man. He has done a lot of favors for the entire Yanghe Village. We will remember him forever."

The Lotus God wiped his tears and expressed his heartfelt gratitude, and the others naturally followed suit.

Bai Zhizhi forced a smile and nodded along with them, "Now that you mention it, Mr. Wang is indeed quite good."

I don’t know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the Mr. Wang mentioned by the people in Yanghe Village was the Mr. Wang who she knew had hurt her son.

Although the villagers praised Mr. Wang highly, Bai Zhizhi always felt something was wrong.

It was as if all of this was a fake created by someone deliberately.

But if it was really Mr. Wang, why would he do this?

No matter how hard Bai Zhizhi thought, she couldn't figure it out.

After chatting for such a long time, a lot of the braised meat that Bai Zhizhi brought out was naturally eaten.

The people in Yanghe Village were not ungrateful. Looking at the scattered oil paper on the ground, they all felt embarrassed and looked at each other.

Without Bai Zhizhi knowing, several aunts got together and quickly came up with a solution.

Then Aunt Lotus was pushed to the front as a representative.

Bai Zhizhi looked at them with a smile, "What does Aunt Hehua want to say?"

Before she could finish her words, Aunt Lotus blushed in embarrassment. "Look, I'm so sorry. We ate so much of your braised meat."

Hearing what she said, Bai Zhizhi waved her hand nonchalantly, "This is a free sample anyway, it's no big deal."

Bai Zhizhi naturally didn't say this out of kindness, she was just trying the food and couldn't stop them from eating it.

Although there was indeed a lot of food, it was not a lot for their family at the moment, so there was no need to be so fussy about it.

Knowing that Bai Zhizhi really didn't care, Aunt Hehua didn't pretend to know nothing. She carefully spread out her palm, revealing a handful of copper coins.

This was all they managed to scrape together, just enough to buy a pound of it, which could also be used to improve the family's meals.

"Let's buy a pound."

Although Bai Zhizhi was a little surprised, she did not refuse. She smiled and took the copper coins that still had her body temperature.

"Wait a moment, aunties. I'll weigh you."

As Bai Zhizhi spoke, she began to move swiftly.

Knowing that they were buying together as a group, he picked out a few smaller pieces and then showed them the scale high.

Those people were naturally delighted and praised Bai Zhizhi with a smile.

Bai Zhizhi accepted it with peace of mind and handed the braised meat steadily to Aunt Hehua.

Because the excitement was gone, the crowd quickly dispersed.

Bai Zhizhi also quickly packed up the braised meat in the backpack and said goodbye briefly to the people in Yanghe Village.

Looking at the smiling backs of the villagers of Yanghe Village as they left, Bai Zhizhi suddenly realized something.

She seemed to know what was wrong. There was something wrong with those bandits.

If the first time was an accident, then by the second time, Yanghe Village was no longer rich, so why did they come again?
