The whole village is suffering from tuberculosis, but I have 10,000 acres of top-quality medicinal f

"...At that time, your father was the most capable herbalist from all over the country. It is said that he had the demeanor of your great-grandfather when he was young!"

"...I hugged you during your full-moon banquet, old lady. You were so small back then. I didn't expect...that you would be so big now, hehehe..."

The village chief and his wife chatted awkwardly, but in reality they were all looking into the bamboo basket.

Pork belly, sausage, old hen... tsk tsk, they are all good things!

People in the mountains don't encounter meat and fish meat a few times a year. As the village chief, he is just a little better than others.

There are many things to do and little money. If you don't get some profit and water, you will really die in pain. Who will do it?

"Father is indeed great. One day, I will inherit the Duan family's mantle, and even surpass my own skills, and carry forward the Duan family's medical skills." Duan Qingqiu took the opportunity to express his determination.

Xu Dafeng just thought she was talking like a child and agreed casually without taking it seriously. After a few rounds of politeness, he rubbed his hands and took the initiative to get to the point.

"Since you came to uncle to speak like this, it means that you have grown up and are capable of taking charge of the family. In this way, the land allocated back then was indeed unfair. Don't worry, Qiu girl. I will find an opportunity to talk to you later. The eldest aunt said it nicely..."

After the death of the second eldest son of the Duan family, how could Village Chief Xu not know that other families were bullying their nieces and nephews by dividing their property?

It's just that Qin Shi stuffed some benefits and turned a blind eye.

Now that he has also accepted Duan Qingqiu's gift, he is not afraid of offending anyone. Having been the head of a village for so many years, he knows how to make peace with others.

Anyway, you can never spit out what you got!

Just as he was talking nice words, Duan Qingqiu interrupted: "Uncle, I misunderstood. I didn't come to visit because of the few acres of fields."

At least not today.

"Uh, then what are you..." He hasn't said a few words in so many years, so he can't really be here to give me a gift, right?

The purpose was unclear, but Village Chief Xu became uneasy.

Duan Qingqiu took out the roll of paper from his sleeve and said with a smile: "I just hope that my uncle can be a witness and help my husband add his name."

"What? Husband, husband?!"

Xu Dafeng's eyes widened, he took the roll of paper and unfolded it. He could read, and he saw the two big characters at the top - marriage certificate.

"Isn't this nonsense!" the old village chief said angrily.

Duan Qingqiu did not panic and winked at the man beside him. Ah Zhi pursed his lips and stood up.

"I've met Village Chief Xu."

Under the hood of a shadow, although not strong, he was tall enough. In addition, from the first moment he entered the door, Xu Dafeng felt something different from the other person, so the man who had been silent at this moment suddenly spoke, he Unable to help but tremble subconsciously, he shrank back.

"You, you, are you..."

"Yes, this junior is Qingqiu's prospective husband." Ah Zhi bowed his head first, and then continued as planned.

In their story, he was a poor scholar who went to a neighboring village to join his relatives. Unexpectedly, his relatives moved and he was kicked out of the village and accidentally rolled into a ravine. When he was half dead, he was saved by Duan Qingqiu. After a while, the two fell in love and made a private commitment for life.

After hearing these words, Village Chief Xu touched the short beard on his chin and couldn't help but sigh: "You boy, your life is really not good..."

Ah Zhi struck while the iron was hot: "That's why younger generations cherish the good luck that has befallen them more. Qingqiu is the best girl in the world. She is gentle, kind, enthusiastic, generous and capable. If I can't die with her in this life, I might as well die." Forget it in that cave!"

At this time, not only Xu Dafeng was stunned, but Duan Qingqiu couldn't help but blush.

Looking at the man's serious expression, she kept a smile on her face and complained secretly in her heart.

I really don't know, but he is still a good actor. He has learned to draw inferences from one example and can express himself freely!

With this affectionate and unrepentant little look, no one will be confused, and no one will believe him.

Sure enough, Village Chief Xu believed it, his expression slightly relaxed.

I was moved, but principles are principles. He sighed and said: "Getting married is a good thing, but since ancient times, marriage has been a matter of parents' orders and matchmakers' words. Although Qiu Yatou's parents died early, the elders are still there. This matter Ah, you have to get their consent, otherwise it won’t be popular if it gets spread out, and it won’t be shameful if it spreads!”

All in all, the slick Xu Dafeng refuses to take responsibility and gets into any trouble.

Duan Qingqiu didn't need to explain why she didn't ask for the consent of her uncles and aunts. She just stretched out her hand and clicked on the end of the marriage letter: "What if the Duan family has already approved it?"

"Who?"

Village Chief Xu took a look and saw the words "Duan Changshui".

He racked his brains and thought for a long time, and finally pulled this person out from the corner.

A distant relative of the Duan family, an old widower.

But no matter what, the other person's surname is Duan, and he is indeed an elder.

Xu Dafeng's mind suddenly became active. His eyes drifted to the men and women in the room, and then glanced at the things on the table, making small calculations in his heart.

The brief silence in the air made Duan Qingqiu slightly anxious.

She touched the broken silver in her arms. It was all the family's property and could never be used unless absolutely necessary. But the old village chief was more greedy and careless than she expected.

It seems that we need to add some chips.

Gritting his teeth, he was about to take out dozens of coins when a low and hoarse voice came from beside him.

"As far as the younger generation knows, the laws of this dynasty are not strict on civil marriages, and prefer the voluntariness of both men and women. As long as there is recognition from the elders of the clan, the marriage contract can be completed, and there is no need to inform everyone, so it is reasonable and According to the rules, my marriage to Qingqiu should not be open to question."

Duan Qingqiu looked slightly surprised and glanced at Ah Zhi.

This dynasty's law? Does he still understand this?

Obviously, as the head of a village, Xu Dafeng is also aware of relevant matters.

But the villagers don't care. In actual practice, the old rules are more important than anything else.

But now that he had been brought up with reasonable evidence, Xu Dafeng could no longer pretend to be confused.

It is said that scholars are the most troublesome. Looking back on how stubborn this poor scholar was just now, if he had to risk everything, he would write a petition and send it to the county. Even if nothing big happened, it would be enough for him to drink.

After thinking about it, Xu Dafeng finally nodded: "Okay, since you have thought it through, just go with us and have some fun!"

However, there was always an element of being forced, and the little old man's expression was gloomy and not very good.

Duan Qingqiu hurriedly said respectfully: "Thank you Uncle Xu for making it possible. No wonder our village is the richest among the nearby villages. It is precisely because of a leader like you who is reasonable and knows how to distinguish right from wrong."
