The words of the village chief made the originally quiet crowd immediately start whispering.

Indeed, Jiang Ling's family's lesson was enough to sound the alarm for them, but the villagers didn't want to do such a thankless task.Everyone hesitated for a while, except for Zhao Erleng and Lu Wangde who took the initiative to stand up, the others did not act.

The village chief almost fainted from anger when he saw this scene. He never thought that the people in Wuyang in front of him were not as good as a person with a foreign surname.

"Are you going to ask me to roll the roll? One count counts as one?" The village chief looked at the crowd angrily and said.

"Village chief, don't blame me for speaking badly. The autumn harvest is coming soon. Who has the time to do such a thankless job!" The one who spoke was Lu Youren's later daughter-in-law, Widow Wang. Said with dissatisfaction.

"Lu Wang, what are you talking about here, a woman!" The village head scolded coldly, then looked at the crowd and said, "You guys still know about the autumn harvest! If those refugees rob you of food during the autumn harvest, I'll see you What to pay taxes with! Let me see how you eat! Are you full of food recently! Forgot what it was like last year!"

The words of the village chief made everyone shrink their necks, and finally a few men from Lujia Village stood up.

Seeing this, the village chief almost cursed. He tried to take a deep breath to calm down his manic mood.

"Okay, you guys are the captains of the security team, and I'll roll the names of the rest of you one by one!" The village chief began to narrow his eyes and look at everyone.

In a short while, the village chief had identified more than 60 people, and all those who were identified were reluctant to hang their heads, while those who were not identified were secretly happy.

The village head glanced at the expressions of some of these people, and said angrily: "You guys! Let me tell you what's good about you! Forget it, come to my place to register after the name is read. You will be paid for a copper coin, and you will patrol for half an hour during the day and an hour at night, if you see a stranger’s face during the day, you will be questioned carefully, and if you see a stranger’s face at night, you will come to my house to report!"

"What five coppers?"

"Five copper coins? It's only a dozen copper coins to carry big bags in the town for a day!"

"Oh, why didn't you click on me?"

After listening to what the village chief said, everyone immediately burst into flames, and the original expressions of secret joy also turned into disappointment.

The village chief snorted angrily, turned his head and said coldly to the crowd: "Why, your attitude has changed since you said you gave money?"

"Village chief, I... I think I can do it too, why don't you take a look at me?" Lu Youren immediately rushed over when he heard that he was rich, he looked at the village chief and said.

"Hmph! Just wait, there may be more recruits later!" The village chief didn't want to talk too much nonsense with Lu Youren, and rejected Lu Youren mercilessly.

"That's enough, let's all go away! The escort team starts today!" The village chief waved his hand to signal the others to disperse, leaving only a group of people who were named before.

After the village head made a brief registration for them, he briefly explained the situation to them, and then divided them into seven groups of ten. Each team only needs to patrol one day a week, so that the autumn harvest will not be delayed. , It can also ensure the safety of the village.

"Hey. You heard that Jiang's daughter, tsk tsk tsk..."

"Yes, I also heard that she was not clear with Zhang Dazhuang from Guiyue Village before."

"No, isn't Zhang Dazhuang engaged to that daughter of the Sun family? Why is he still related to Jiang Suihe?"

"Oh, you don't know..."

"Hey, sisters-in-law, what are you talking about so lively?" On the way back, Jiang Ling suddenly heard whispers from around.

She didn't want to talk to this group of people, but they turned out to be more and more ugly, especially the leader, Lu Youren, who was later married to the widow Wang, who kept pouring dirty water on Jiang Suihe.

In ancient times, Jiang Ling knew that a girl's reputation was more important than anything else. No one would be able to stand a child being insulted by these women. What's more, the victim of this incident was Jiang Ling's daughter. She walked forward quickly. He scolded with a black face.

Other than Widow Wang, when they saw Jiang Ling, they all shrunk their necks guiltily and planned to leave, but Widow Wang was the only one who seemed to be fearless, and even deliberately pushed out her round belly.

"Hey, your stomach looks like it's six or seven months old!" Jiang Ling glanced sideways at Widow Wang's stomach and said unkindly.

"Of course, my stomach must be a boy!" Widow Wang didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Jiang Ling's gourd. She proudly puffed out her stomach, and deliberately emphasized the word "boy" in an attempt to humiliate Jiang Ling. .

Jiang Ling smiled "puchi", which made Widow Wang's proud expression a little strange. She frowned and looked at Jiang Ling and asked unhappily, "Hey, why are you laughing!"

"It's nothing, I just feel that someone has a hairy face and the cheek to call others a monkey!" Jiang Ling said lightly.

Widow Wang was taken aback by Jiang Ling's words, she looked at Jiang Ling strangely for a while and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"Oh, what do you mean, even if your belly is six months old, the guy Lu Youren and I have been separated for no more than two months at the most. After this calculation, isn't the child in your stomach not Lu Youren's?"

"You...you're talking nonsense! Believe it or not, I'll tear your mouth apart?" Widow Wang yelled angrily at Jiang Ling, blushing because of Jiang Ling's choking.

"Oh? Even if the child in your stomach is Lu Youren's, the date of pregnancy between Lu Youren and I and you is not the same. If you don't behave yourself, what right do you have to pour dirty water on my daughter?" Speaking of Jiang Ling stared fiercely and said.

Widow Wang did not expect that Jiang Ling, whom she had not seen for a long time, had become so sharp-tongued now. She bit her lips angrily, and when she wanted to say something, she found that she could not refute.

"There are a few of you, why did you see it with your own eyes when you said it so vividly?" Seeing that Widow Wang had lost her arrogance, Jiang Ling immediately shifted her firepower to the village women who had been talking about it before.

Seeing Jiang Ling's appearance, those village women quickly shook their heads and did not dare to speak. Jiang Ling glared at them and continued: "You also have daughters. If what happened to your daughters today, you still don't dare to speak." Will you discuss it so irrelevantly? To frame it? To throw dirty water?"

"Jiang... Shi, don't be angry, I'm sorry, we were wrong..." A village woman who reacted quickly and Jiang Ling apologized and disappeared in front of her disheartened.

Seeing this, the other village women also imitated the appearance of the previous village woman, and all left in despair.

Jiang Ling squinted at Widow Wang and said, "Don't be so short-mouthed. If nothing else, you have to accumulate virtue for the child in your womb! What's more, how do you know that the child in your womb must be a son?"

Speaking of which, Jiang Ling showed a ferocious smile and turned to leave, leaving only the Widow Wang who was stunned in place.
