Chapter 410

I thought this matter would not be made public and widely publicized.

But what was unexpected was that the dismissal of the village chief of Jiangjia Village also implicated the matter of the county magistrate.

Now everyone in the villages knows that the new village chief of Jiangjia Village got the position by paying money and bribing the county magistrate.

The county magistrate was arrested, and he, who had just been the village chief for less than a year, was also brought down. Although he would not face any serious imprisonment, he would still suffer physical pain.

This was also the reason why the village chief of Qianniu Village came to see Zhao Ganwei that day. The two of them kept each other informed, in case someone from the government came to investigate and wanted to see if it was not only Village Chief Jiang who had committed bribery. If something was really found out, be careful not to end up alone.

But fortunately, they were all selected by the villagers and the government, and they did not use their money like Village Chief Jiang did, so they could feel relieved.

These things have no impact on the lives of the villagers, they continue to live their lives as usual.

Zhong Ruyi learned about the subsequent events from her mother. The higher-ups appointed the former legal advisor to be the new county magistrate of Liuyun Town. It was unknown whether there was any fishy plot involved.

The good news is that Liu Yu Niang's elder brother from her natal family was also promoted. After his status rose, his elder sister-in-law from her natal family no longer worried about the recipes of the stewed food shop all day long. She behaved like an official's wife all day long, and only became more restrained after being reprimanded by Liu Gang.

Chen Dongzhi had just got up from the field with the watermelon seedlings he had just planted. When he turned the corner, he was bumped into by someone and stumbled. He was fine, but the person who bumped into him fell directly to the ground, covering his face and crying.

He hesitated a little and wanted to reach out to help the man up, but he heard his wife's voice, "Let me do it, so that others won't see and gossip about it."

Zhong Ruyi came out from behind the corner and pulled up the person who was sitting on the ground and couldn't stop crying. "What's wrong with you? Are you okay? If you are okay, then stop crying. Look at you, you are covered in dirt!"

"I don't need you to worry about it!"

It was not until she spoke that Chen Dongzhi understood why his wife had just said that. It turned out that the person he bumped into was Jiang Yue.

He quickly took big steps and stood next to Zhong Ruyi, fearing that someone would try to scam him.

But his action deeply hurt Jiang Yue's fragile heart, and she couldn't help crying even louder.

...

The couple didn't say anything, they just stood there and watched her cry until she had no more tears left.

Jiang Yue sobbed, and saw the two people's cold expressions through the gap between her hands covering her face. She felt even worse and felt that she was really pitiful. She originally wanted to ask Zhao Ganwei for help and ask him to plead for her father.

Not only was he rejected, but he also wanted to take one last look at the person he loved and then go back, but he was humiliated by this woman again.

The clothes she was wearing became dirty after she fell, but the two men didn't say anything to comfort her and just watched.

"You, you are going too far! I hate you!" Jiang Yue's voice was choked with sobs. After saying this, she ran away holding up her skirt.

The two stood there looking at each other in confusion. Finally, Zhong Ruyi asked cautiously, "Did you hit her just now?"

"No." Chen Dongzhi shook his head honestly, "She was walking without looking at the road and bumped into me and fell. I didn't hit her."

"She just ran to our house and said she wanted to see you for the last time, but I scolded her. What do you mean by 'one last look'? Isn't that a curse on you?" Zhong Ruyi briefly recounted what had just happened. In the end, she concluded that it was Jiang Yue herself who was too fragile, and it was not their problem as a couple.

When they were walking back, the two had already put what had just happened behind them. Chen Dongzhi said he wanted to eat sour soup hotpot.

"Okay! It's a good opportunity to try the sour soup I made last month!" Zhong Ruyi decided to have a hot sour soup hotpot tonight.

"Why don't you ask mom to come along? Doesn't mom also like hotpot?"

The two of them returned home while talking, while Jiang Yue ran out of Xinghua Village crying and was seen by many people in the village.

Some nosy uncles and aunts pointed at Jiang Yue who was running away and said, "The Chen family kid is so lucky. He married such a capable girl from the Zhong family. Now there is such a beautiful girl who is clinging to him. He is really capable!"

"Who said it wasn't true?" An older aunt squinted her lips and looked at the direction where Jiang Yue ran. "This kid is just lucky. Didn't people from the neighboring village go to the war together? None of them came back alive. Only the kid from the Chen family was lucky enough to come back alive."

"But, he and the daughter of the Zhong family have been married for two years, right?" Another person squinted his eyes and smiled, looking very idle and wretched. "The daughter of the Zhong family has not made any movement until now. Do you think that the boy from the Chen family has hidden injuries from the war and can't have children?"

The other people started talking at once. None of these people's families worked in Zhong Ruyi's workshop, so they were not so restrained in speaking and just said whatever they thought.

"Even if she can give birth, so what? You know what happened to the daughter of the Zhong family before. What if she gives birth to a fool?"

Just then, Chen's mother brought Xiaoxue back from cutting grass. When they passed by a few people, they were stopped enthusiastically.

I thought it was just some idle chat among the villagers, but somehow the topic ended up being about the children.

The older aunt said, "Mrs. Chen, your eldest son has been married for so long, why doesn't he plan to have a child? Is there something wrong with them?"

When Xiaoxue heard this, she turned her head and saw that the person who was speaking was the aunt in the village who loved gossiping about others the most. She couldn't help but frown.

"Aunt, why did your eldest son get married? Did he not want to get married or could he not get married?"

"How can you talk like that, little girl?" The aunt was hit in a sore spot and instantly jumped up in anger. She stood up and wanted to hit her, but was stopped by others.

Xiaoxue pulled Chen's mother back a few words, looked directly at the aunt and said, "Instead of worrying about whether my brother and sister-in-law can have children, I think you should worry more about whether your son can get married. After all, he has a mother like you who likes to gossip and meddle in other people's affairs. You can't even take care of your own son, but you want to meddle in other people's family affairs. Are you born in the Year of the Rat? Why do you like to meddle in other people's affairs?"

After saying that, she ignored the aunt and took Chen's mother away.

Her mother always urged her to give birth, instigated by the gossipy women in the village. "Mom, don't pay attention to what they say. They can't even live their own lives. We just need to live our own lives well."

In the past, Chen's mother would be influenced by what others said, which resulted in a bad relationship between her and her son and daughter-in-law. After experiencing this twice, she now knows the good and bad sides of these people's words and no longer listens to everything they say.

Hearing this, she just smiled gently and said, "Okay."

The sour soup hotpot in the evening was a great success and the whole family ate their fill.

Zhong Ruyi washed the blueberries and said, "Xiao Man, you have to eat more. It's good for your eyes. I heard from mom that you always read at night, which is very harmful to your eyes. You should be careful."

Xiaoman took the blueberries with a shy smile on her face, "I understand, sister-in-law. I will pay attention to it next time."

When leaving, Chen's mother asked about the recipe of the sour soup. Thinking of her cooking skills, Zhong Ruyi smiled and said, "I'll make some more tomorrow. If you like it, take some from mine first."

Xiaoxue happily took a jar of sour soup back home, looked at her mother with amusement, and shook her head helplessly.
