The ancestral jade pendant is actually a space, so you don't need to panic when fleeing from fa

"What are you talking about, Zou? Don't talk nonsense. What does it have to do with me?

"Village Chief He Qiang! Don't listen to her nonsense, this is not true." Seeing that she was exposed, Aunt Ge started to attack Zou.

"Village head, please believe me. She really asked me to say it. She said that Yu Qingqing offended her daughter last time, so she asked people to spread rumors about Yu Qingqing everywhere.

She wanted to ruin her reputation so that her daughter could vent her anger." Zou was afraid that the village chief would not believe her, so she added a few more words.

"Auntie Ge, what else do you have to say? Now someone has accused you, do you think I should send you there? Or should you find the Yu family and solve the problem yourself?"

What was there for He Qiang to not understand after hearing this? This matter was not suitable to be made into a big deal, it would be best if it could be resolved as soon as possible.

“Village Chief, why don’t we solve this ourselves? After all, this is a matter concerning my daughter’s reputation.

Just let her apologize to Qing'er in front of the whole village, saying that she is Hu Zuo's, and promise not to do it again. Finally, she can compensate us five taels of silver. "

Yu Qingshu spoke up and thought it would be better not to make a big deal out of it. Although he knew that the person was Yu Ling'er, it was a matter of reputation, so it was better not to get involved.

"Five taels of silver? Why don't you go and rob? I don't have it and I won't give it to you."

When Aunt Ge heard that she had to pay five taels of silver, she felt her heart aching. Wasn't it just a few idle words?

As for asking for five taels of silver, you really think the money came from the wind.

"You don't have to pay the money, but we'll have to go to the authorities. Come on..." Village chief He Qiang was really overwhelmed when he saw this unreasonable woman.

"No, Village Chief, I will compensate you! I will compensate you. Miss Qingqing, I'm sorry, I just heard it from others, don't take it to heart.

You didn't go into the woods with that wild man, I just said that, please forgive me."

Aunt Ge's expression changed quickly, and she lost her composure when she heard that she had to see the official.

“I’ll let you go this time, but if I hear any rumors in the future, I’ll settle the score with you directly.

And you have to take care of your daughter, otherwise..." Yu Qingqing didn't want to dwell on it too much, she wasn't afraid of it anyway.

"Oh, no. It's just that I don't have the five taels of silver right now. Do you think I can owe you the money first?" Aunt Ge could only bear it with frustration.

"No, either you gather the money now, or you can offset it according to the amount of grain you had before the price increase."

Yu Qingshu was not going to be merciful. They were going to go their separate ways soon. Who would remember him by then? There was nothing he could do if he denied his mistake.

"That's right. Aunt Ge, your family is not very poor, and five taels of silver is not a difficult thing for you to get. Just collect the silver and give it to the Yu family."

Village chief He Qiang didn't want to argue about this anymore in the future.

"Village chief! Five taels of silver is too much. If my man finds out, he will beat me to death."

Aunt Ge didn't want to give the money so easily. Although she had her own private treasury, it would still hurt her to spend so much money.

"Don't keep making trouble. If you don't give it to me, you will be handed over to the authorities."

Yu Qingshu also had a headache when he saw this. This woman was really troublesome, so he pretended to arrest her and take her to see the official.

"Boy from the Yu family, don't catch me! Don't catch me! Isn't it enough for me to give it to you?"

Seeing that he was serious about it, Aunt Ge could only reluctantly take out some change from her bosom. After counting it, she found that there was a shortfall of about one or two taels, so she gave him more than ten kilograms of brown rice according to the previous price of grain.

“Village Chief, thank you for seeking justice for our family, and thank you Aunt Mei.

Our family gave out 10 kilograms of brown rice, and the village chief and Aunt Mei's family gave 5 kilograms. Don't refuse. It's also thanks to your daughter's reputation that we were able to save it."

Yu Qingshu was still very good at dealing with people. He had to curry favor with the village chief, but he also couldn't owe favors to those who helped his family. So he simply took out ten kilograms of brown rice and let them share it.

"How can this be so embarrassing? You should just keep the Yu family's." Village Chief He Qiang naturally wouldn't take it.

"Village chief, don't be so modest. We will need your help in the future and will rely on you when the time comes.

Aunt Mei, you're welcome. Thank you for helping our family. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to us."

In the end, Aunt Mei and the village chief could not refuse the invitation and did not decline.

“Since everyone is here, I’ll say a few more words.

There is only a little water in the well recently. You should go back tonight and get all the water you can. We will set out tomorrow and gather at the village entrance at Yinshi on time.

I will send someone to notify each family one last time later. If you don’t come at Yin time tomorrow, we will not wait for you anymore.

Those who don’t go can stay in the village. Recently, many people in the village have gone to live with their relatives. If you need to live with your relatives, just get ready to go.

Everyone packed their things, picking out the important items and leaving the unimportant ones behind to avoid affecting the itinerary.

We discussed it before and decided to go to Dongyu, which is the fiefdom of His Highness Chenchen.

I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Chen manages Dongyu very well, and that place is big, so there will always be a place for us to stay.

I have already prepared the pass early in the morning, so there will be no problem as long as we all go together.

Yesterday I also counted and found that there were 25 households willing to go with us, with a total of 320 people, including men, women, young and old.

If you have any relatives, please remember to tell me and add the number of people.

Just do what you need to do tonight, don't waste time. From now on, no one is allowed to talk about Yu Qingqing's matter. If I hear it, you will suffer.

Do you have anything to ask now? If you do, please ask now.

After the village chief He Qiang finished speaking, he turned a corner with the help of something like a crutch.

"Village chief! I want to ask you something. We are going to Dongyu together this time. I heard that it is quite far.

How long will it take to get there?" A woman in her fifties asked the key question.

"We estimate that it will take three months. This is a relatively close place nearby, so if there are no unexpected events, this time will be enough."

"Oh! I'm so old, I don't know if I can get there." The old woman was full of worries.

"Chongzi's mother, don't worry. The village chief will not abandon any of us. It's okay for us to suffer a little, but we can't let our descendants suffer.

There is almost no water here, it seems that God wants to cut off our livelihood." An old lady nearby was trying to persuade the woman who had just spoken.

"It's nothing, everyone can go home and go back to make preparations so we can set off on time tomorrow."

The village chief saw that it was almost done, so he didn't stay any longer and went back into the house.

The others also started to disperse. Everyone's topic now was about tomorrow's events. Some were looking forward to it, while others were worried about various things.

"Qing'er, let's go back and see if there's anything we need to bring." Hua Qinglu took Yu Qingqing's hand and walked towards home.
