The village chief's eyelids twitched violently. "What happened?"

The villagers pointed in the direction of the Chai family and gloated, "Something happened to the Chai family. They ate poisonous mushrooms and the whole family is poisoned and unconscious."

When the village chief heard this, he didn't bother to discuss the gift-giving matter for the time being, and hurriedly led the villagers to Chai's house.

None of the surrounding villagers sympathized with the Chai family, and they all said that they deserved it.

"If you ask me, I think the Chai family must have been greedy and just picked some mushrooms and cooked them to eat. Who knew they would get poisoned?"

"This mushroom poisoning incident could be a big deal or a small one. I'd rather it be a big deal, and it would be best if the Chai family didn't survive."

"Right, right, right. Don't let it wait until Chinese New Year. That would be unlucky."

The Mu family members looked at each other and wondered why the Chai family members would eat mushrooms for no reason.

There are very few mushrooms in the mountains during this season. Even if there are any, the villagers dry them and sell them in town.

The Chai family is so greedy for money that it is unlikely that they would eat mushrooms.

"Grandpa, we can't eat mushrooms casually." Mu Baobao clenched his little hands and said seriously.

Mu Laodi patted her head and said with a smile, "Baby is right, we can't eat mushrooms carelessly."

Why Guan Chai's family eats mushrooms has no impact on their family.

Besides, his family was happy that the Chai family ended up like this.

"Let's get to work." He shouted.

The villagers no longer paid much attention to the Chai family and began to busy themselves with the autumn harvest.

the other side.

The village chief and the villagers came to the Chai family as quickly as possible.

When the two arrived, they saw many villagers gathered at the Chai family's house.

All of them are old and weak.

"Village chief, the Chai family seems to be dead." Someone shouted, causing everyone to talk.

"If you ask me, it would be better if the Chai family died, so that they wouldn't continue to bring disaster to our village."

"That's right. After what Chai Huanhuan did became known, my daughter's reputation was affected."

When the village chief heard this, he knew that the Chai family could not be saved.

He walked into the Chai family with a frown.

As soon as I entered the Chai family's house, I saw two bodies lying in the yard.

They are Chai Huanhuan and Chai Yaozu.

There was still fear on the faces of the father and daughter, and there were black bloodstains at the corners of their mouths.

When the village chief looked up again, he saw the old woman from the Chai family and Ding lying in the main room.

He walked forward and checked the breathing of everyone in the Chai family, making sure that they were all dead before coming to the door of the Chai family.

"It's not dinner time, why are the Chai family cooking mushrooms?" he asked.

The Chai family's neighbor quickly said, "Village Chief, I know."

"I heard from the Chai family that Chai Huanhuan found mushrooms in the mountains and wanted to take them to town to sell."

"But Chai Yaozu was craving for it and kept asking the old woman of the Chai family to make it for him so he could have some with his wine."

He sneered, "The old woman of the Chai family dotes on her son so much that she fried the mushrooms and ate them."

As a result, the whole family was poisoned to death.

You deserve it.

The village chief knew how much the old woman of the Chai family doted on her son. Even if Chai Yaozu wanted to eat fish in the middle of winter, the old woman of the Chai family would find a way to get fish for him.

"It seems to be okay."

He smoked his pipe and pointed at a few young men, "You guys carry the bodies of the Chai family up the mountain and find a place to bury them."

He urged, "Be respectful to the corpse, okay?"

Several young men looked at each other and agreed. They were not willing to go toe-to-toe with a few corpses.

Just as the village chief was about to leave, a villager asked, "Village chief, what should we do with the Chai family's house and the things inside?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the village had an idea.

"The old woman of the Chai family has saved a lot of money and good things over the years. She said she wanted to leave them to her son and grandson."

"I don't mind if someone has died in this house, as long as it's cheap."

The village chief glared at everyone present and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Chai Yaozu's son is still alive, so everything in the Chai family naturally belongs to him."

The villagers present looked at each other.

"Village chief, it's hard to say whether Chai Yaozu's son is still alive."

"Village Chief, if Chai Yaozu's son is not alive, how will the Chai family be dealt with?"

The village chief thought about it and said, "If no one from the Chai family survives, then we will follow the old rules."

"The money from the Chai family will be confiscated and used to buy meat and other things so that the whole village can have a meal together during the New Year."

The villagers thought this was a good idea. If the Chai family’s things were given to someone, no one would accept it. It would be better to follow the old rules.

The village chief arranged for several capable elders to guard the Chai family. "Don't touch anything in the Chai family. I'll ask Mr. Cheng to come and help count it later."

"Don't make Mr. Cheng unhappy, and it's best not to do anything you shouldn't do."

The villagers who had some ulterior motives stopped thinking after hearing this, as they did not want to offend Mr. Cheng.

The Chai family's affairs did not cause much stir in the village.

On the contrary, the Chai family’s property might be confiscated to buy meat, which would make every household excited, because that’s meat.

As the Mu family’s autumn harvest is coming to an end, the matter of building a new house has become a daily routine.

Zhu and Qian were making sweet potato steamed cakes. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were discussing who to invite to build the new house and what else to do.

Mu Baobao sat by the stove, warming himself by the fire and waiting for the roasted sweet potatoes in the stove.

Today, the uncle took the brothers to the mountains. The uncle said that they would have to walk a lot today, so he would not take her with him and would take her into the mountains later.

"Mother, I think we should ask someone from our village to build a new house," Qian said. "We can see which family would be a good fit to sell steamed cakes together."

Zhu thought about it and said, "Okay."

"The problem is, which families to invite and which ones not to invite is a difficult question."

"If this matter is not handled properly, it will easily lead to conflicts."

Qian understood this principle. If she invited this family but not that one, there was no guarantee that the other family would have other intentions.

In this village, if you don't have a good relationship with someone, you can get into a lot of trouble if you're not careful.

"Mom, should we ask the village chief to make the decision on this matter?"

"I think it might be much easier if the village chief steps in."

Zhu said, "I'm sorry to bother the village chief all the time."

"Grandma, please ask uncle and master for help." Baby Mu raised his little paw. "With uncle and master here, the villagers will definitely not say anything."

She didn't understand much about these things, but she knew a little that the villagers couldn't stand seeing others doing better than them.

Zhu and Qian looked at each other and felt that it would be best to invite Mr. Cheng and Doctor Deng.

These two people have a good relationship with their family, which is much better than asking the village chief for help.

"Okay, I'll go find Mr. Cheng later." Qian's hands moved without any pause.

"I'll talk to Mr. Cheng about this first and see if he's willing to help."

Zhu hummed, "Talk to Mr. Cheng. I think he'd be willing to help."

"It's a good opportunity for you to talk to Mr. Cheng and ask him and Dr. Deng to come to our house for dinner tonight."
