poor family prodigal

Even Qianlong, who is usually cold all year round, couldn't help but be curious and wanted to experience the tradition of holding happy events here.

"You two, don't join in the fun. This is not an ordinary happy event. It's our village chief Guan's family who is marrying his wife."

"Their family also occupies a lot of these lands. They are even more ruthless and have certain benefits before renting the land to us common people."

The middle-aged man immediately stopped Dahu who wanted to go out to watch the fun, fearing that he might get into trouble accidentally, even if the people in front of him seemed to have extraordinary status.

As the saying goes, if a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot go against their village chief.

"Marry a little wife?"

Wang Yuan felt a little weird. It was very common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. The common people like a small village chief marrying concubines didn't seem very happy either.

Even those with a little money would marry one or two concubines, which was acceptable to everyone.

Why do you feel so unhappy when you look at the middle-aged man's expression, as if it's something that both humans and gods are angry about?

"Young master, you don't know. Village Chief Guan is already fifty years old this year. He had previously taken a fancy to the daughter of a poor family and wanted to marry her by force when she was just sixteen years old."

"They say they are marrying her, but in fact they are just taking her by force to become a concubine."

As the middle-aged man spoke, he looked angrily at the houses with lights and colorful decorations not far away. Common people like them just dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Watching a young girl in her prime being destroyed in the hands of an old man, who knew he had a lot of power in his hands.

After hearing this, Dahu was very angry. Marriage has always been a matter of mutual love, and he has never seen any forced robbery. A small village chief dared to be so unscrupulous.

"Dahu, Qianlong, it seems that we are going to have a dinner together today."

After hearing this, Wang Yuan didn't say much. He stood up and walked out immediately. It was useless to say more. Since he heard about this matter, he had to deal with it to the end.

I don’t know how many more things like this happen that I don’t know about. I must let these people know that the emperor cannot control them unless the mountain is high.

The state has national laws, and families have family rules. If you do something wrong, you must pay a certain price.

"Sir, what are you going to do?"

"The other party is a rich and powerful village chief. You foreigners must not cause trouble."

The middle-aged man was instantly frightened when he saw a few people preparing to make a move. Several people followed him to this place and later the village chief found out that he couldn't finish eating and walked around.

Looking at the few people who were about to walk out, they were almost crying. A family must pay a certain price if they want to gain a foothold here.

"Brother, don't worry, we just went to a banquet and didn't have enough to eat."

"I'll pack some delicious food for you later."

With a warm smile on his face, Wang Yuan turned around and walked out without looking back, as if saying that the weather was very good today, to have a banquet at the village chief's house.

The middle-aged man looked at the figures from behind and it was too late to stop them. He just stood there in fear and looked at a loss.

Several people came to the gate of the village chief's house and saw a group of ordinary people congratulating themselves with the remaining rations in their hands. They just said congratulations through the gate and walked back.

He didn't even see the scene clearly. It didn't take long for him to collect a stone of rice, which made the people receiving gifts outside very happy.

"Everyone will go back after giving gifts. The village chief will definitely remember what each of you gave. Don't worry, what you want will definitely be in your hands."

The recipient of the gift didn't say much nonsense and just drove the ordinary people back, with an impatient expression on his face like a swarm of flies.

Seeing this, Wang Yuan took out a few taels of silver from his pocket and put it on the table. He casually wrote a name on the account book. The recipient's eyes lit up when he looked at the silver on the table.

These poor people certainly couldn't afford to give away silver coins, let alone silver coins or even copper coins, so they could only use the worthless rice to express their congratulations.

"Master, please come inside, please come inside..."

Wang Yuan waved his hand and led Dahu and Qianlong into the door together. Even if he only took a room for a concubine, the interior was very carefully decorated.

The lanterns and colorful decorations were very festive, and there were plenty of chicken, duck, and fish on the banquet table. Those who could be invited in to dine were all famous local wealthy people.

Wang Yuan and others randomly found a remote corner and sat down, just to see how capable the village chief was?

I don't know how many heads he lost for such a blatant commoner. As soon as he sat down, Wang Yuan gave Dahu a look and told him to cause trouble as much as he wanted.

I didn’t really want to have a banquet when I came here, I just wanted to see how many dirty things I didn’t know about inside.

"Come on, this wine doesn't taste right. It's just like a glass of boiled water. My young master spent a few taels of silver to have a banquet. Is this the wine he's going to serve?"

Dahu roared and slapped the table. Everyone sitting on the table instantly looked in their direction.

I didn't expect that there would be people who dared to come here to cause trouble like this. Even if they felt something was wrong, they would just turn a blind eye.

No one would say such a stupid thing, unless they are the kind of people who are impatient to live, they would do such a thing.

"Brother, this is not a place for trouble. Please keep your eyes open, otherwise..."

The village chief's housekeeper stared at Dahu fiercely and kept warning him, hoping that he would be more honest and sit down to eat the wedding wine.

However, Dahu was not that easy to fool, so he just slapped him on the dining table...

"What else? Your wine is like horse urine. Can you afford to pay for my young master's stomachache?"

Although Dahu is not usually the kind of person who bullies others, now he felt a little bit like that when he got angry, leaving the village chief's housekeeper at a loss for a moment.

For an instant.

The village chief's housekeeper came to his senses and was almost helped by the arrogant boy who passed by, his face even more angry than before.

There has never been anyone in this place who dared to be so arrogant and domineering. Everyone was respectful after seeing him, fearing that they would be killed if they accidentally offended him.

Even the lofty emperor is just out of reach for them, and the village chief has become the local emperor of this place.

So I followed along to show off my power, and over time I felt superior.

"Be bold, beat it out for me, life or death."

The village chief's housekeeper had an angry look on his face. With a wave of his hand, three big and thick bodyguards walked in from outside and beat up Dahu.

The people sitting at the banquet nearby were all looking at this scene with gloating. They had not seen such a wonderful scene for a long time. The body of the young man who had been so helpless the previous time was gone.
