"Why don't we accept it this time? From now on, the county magistrate will only send gifts during festivals and won't bother the Mu family."

He didn't think the county magistrate did anything wrong.

If he were in the position of county magistrate, he would seize it if he encountered a good opportunity to move up.

Besides, the county magistrate did not do anything he shouldn't have done.

But Mu Baobao's family doesn't know this yet, as they are entertaining the villagers at the moment.

Either they came to the Mu family to curry favor, or they wanted to marry their daughter into the Mu family.

Today is the kids' day off, so Mubao can stay home all day.

She held a handful of melon seeds in her small hands, cracking them slowly while listening to everyone chatting.

"Mrs. Mu, have you heard? Mrs. Feng was divorced." The old woman from the Zhang family curled her lips, looking gloating. "She was chased out of the village with a stick by her husband."

The others cheered.

"What happened? The Huang family actually divorced Feng."

"If you ask me, Feng deserves it. Over the years, Feng has taken advantage of so many people in the village and even ruined the marriages of her own children and grandchildren."

Zhu thought about it for a moment and understood the reason. "What else could it be?"

"Didn't someone send a gift to my family? Feng Shi has set his sights on it and wants to steal my things."

When the old woman of the Zhang family and others heard this, they all despised Feng.

"I don't know how to complain about Feng. If she doesn't think about herself, she should at least think about her grandchildren. How dare she do such a vicious thing."

"If Feng had thought about her grandchildren, she wouldn't have wanted to sell her granddaughter in the first place."

"Speaking of the Feng family, we have to mention the daughter of the Chai family. Have you heard her spreading bad things about Bao Bao?"

Hearing this, Mu Baobao pricked up his ears instantly, "Spreading bad words about me?"

She didn't provoke Chai Huanhuan, so why would she spread bad things about her?

Tao Yeye's grandmother snorted, "What did Chai Huanhuan say? The baby relied on his literacy to not play with the village kids and acted so arrogant."

"This daughter of the Chai family is useless. She's always forming cliques in the village, targeting this and that, and yet the Chai family thinks she's doing the right thing."

Upon hearing this, Zhu's face turned unhappy. "I heard from the third daughter-in-law that Chai Huanhuan came to play with my baby for no reason."

"Baby said something happened at home and it was not convenient to invite them in, but Chai Huanhuan insisted on forcing his way in."

Mu Baobao nodded, "The little sister brought several friends with her and insisted on coming into my house."

The old woman from the Zhang family chuckled twice, "Chai Huanhuan is not here to play with the baby."

"I think she wants to take this opportunity to see if she can get something from your house."

"When someone sends something to your house, many people in the village will be watching."

Tao Yeye's grandmother agreed very much, "Chai Huanhuan has been relying on her childhood to get good things from other people's families over the years."

"I heard that she often steals all kinds of things from her friends."

She warned, "Mu family, you better be careful, Chai Huanhuan is not a good person."

Zhu decided to have a "good talk" with Chai Huanhuan's family tomorrow. If anyone dared to ruin her baby's reputation, she would let Chai Huanhuan know the consequences.

As they chatted, a group of people talked about the marriage of Mu Pingping and others.

"Mr. Mu, tell us the truth. What do you think about your Pingping and his marriage?" asked Tao Yeye's grandmother.

Zhu spoke frankly, "It's not that I don't want to arrange a marriage for Pingping."

"First of all, Pingping Fannian is only twelve years old. He is too young."

When they thought about it, it was true. Pingping was only twelve years old, which was a little too young.

Zhu continued, "Secondly, Pingping is in school now."

"If we arrange a marriage for him, but he's too busy with it to study properly, what should we do?"

"He's the eldest. If he doesn't set a good example, his younger brothers won't study well either."

Several people felt that it was right. Mu Pingping was the eldest brother. If he was not good at studying, his younger brothers might not study well either.

"The Mu family, you can take your time choosing a partner for Pingping over the next few years," said the old woman from the Zhang family. "I think it would be best if you could find someone who can read and write for Pingping."

"This way, if Pingping has any problems, the other party can help him."

Zhu waved her hand, "That's secondary. The most important thing is that he has a good heart, not those messy things."

When it came to this matter, everyone present started talking.

"As the saying goes, marry a virtuous wife. Look at the Huang family and the Zhou family. They didn't marry virtuous wives, so how many troubles did they cause?"

"And the Du family before, didn't they marry that old woman? What happened to the Du family as a result?"

"You really have to think carefully about choosing a wife. If you marry a good wife, your family will be peaceful. If you marry a bad wife, there will be trouble."

"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard? A lot of people from other villages have their eyes on Mr. Cheng and Doctor Deng."

A question mark slowly emerged in Mu Baobao's head. Why were the people from other villages staring at her master and uncle?

Zhu understood what was said. She sighed and said, "These people are really crazy."

"Mr. Cheng and Doctor Deng come from wealthy families. How could they be interested in a girl from the village?"

Everyone present agreed with this statement. They had heard that people from large families required wives of equal social status and had many other requirements.

While a few people were talking, someone else came.

It’s the Chai family and several other families.

When Zhu saw the Chai family, her face turned unhappy: "Chai family, what are you doing here?"

She placed the wooden baby on the kang and walked over angrily, "How dare you come to my house."

"Chai Huanhuan is ruining my granddaughter's reputation in the village. Do you think my family doesn't know?"

The smile on the face of the old woman from the Chai family froze for a moment, and she laughed, "Mu family, there must be a misunderstanding."

"How could my Huanhuan, such a well-behaved child, do such a thing?"

As soon as she said this, she was ridiculed.

"Chai Huanhuan is well-behaved? Chai family, you are probably telling lies in broad daylight. Everyone in the village knows what kind of person Chai Huanhuan is. It's really unfortunate that you can say such a thing."

"Hasn't Chai Huanhuan done enough bad things? My granddaughter has had her things snatched away by Chai Huanhuan and even been pushed down by her."

The old woman of the Chai family curled her lips secretly. How could she blame Huanhuan? All the children in the village were like this.

"The Mu family."

She didn't get to her goal and changed the subject, "I heard your business is doing well, are you short of staff?"

"You know my son is very strong..."

Zhu rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "You dare say that about your lazy son?"

The old woman from the Chai family looked a little embarrassed. "My son is very capable, not a lazy person."

Her son has no chance, otherwise why would he stay in the village?
