We agreed to farm, why do you go to the palace every day?

Chapter 60: Getting Back the Money for Marrying a Wife

As the saying goes: The people do not fight against the officials. Those who have done something wrong are always afraid to go to the government office.

The whole family is so cruel that they just abandoned Mu Feng on the street and beat and scolded him at will. If they really get taken to the government, they will be in big trouble.

Amid everyone's urgent condemnation, Wang Jing finally came out reluctantly.

While she was still thinking about asking Mu Feng for help, the head of the village snatched her purse and poured out all the silver in it. After counting, there was less than ten taels of silver.

Li Zhengyi looked at Wang and said, "We all heard that you were asked to hand over the money that you were keeping for Mu Feng. It was twenty taels. Are you only going to give out this much after all your hesitation?"

Mu Feng didn't say anything and Luo Yu just watched quietly.

He knew that the money was picked up and that it was the money Mu Feng would use to marry his wife, but he still used it against his conscience.

What can Luo Yu say? Greed is insatiable, just wait and see, sooner or later you will get your retribution!

"That's right, isn't it twenty taels?"

"You are such a shameless family. That was twenty taels. Is this all you have left?"

"Maybe it was hidden and not shown to Mu Feng on purpose."

The villagers and the head of the village all thought so, believing that it was Wang who hid it, and if she dared to hide it, they would dare to go in and look for it.

Seeing that the villagers were about to enter the house, Wang's mother and daughter tried their best to stop them. Mu Zhiye acted as if it was none of his business, while Mu Chenchen stood aside as if watching a show, with a hint of excitement in her eyes.

Luo Yu......

Wang quickly said, "There really is no more. Mu Feng was injured a few days ago and got some medicine. We also used some of it. These are all that are left!"

The villagers were muttering again: "They beat the person themselves, and they still have to use Mu Feng's money to treat him. Besides, as for the medicine, according to their conscience, how good medicine can they buy? They are really conscienceless!"

Wang listened to these words mocking their family. She took them to heart, but they only asked her to pay extra money. Mu Feng knew that was impossible.

Luo Yu also felt that it was better to get some money out of them. She packed up the silver and handed it to Mu Feng, saying, "Keep it. This is enough. You can spend it as a way to repay their kindness in raising you over the years. We should also go back. It will be late soon and it will be hard to walk in the dark."

Mu Feng did not take it, but asked her to accept it, saying: "Since it is the money for my marriage, I will give it to you for safekeeping."

After saying that, Mu Feng walked to the elders and the village chief, knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Elders and village chiefs, I will not pursue the rest. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to survive these years. After that, I will go to live with Luo Yu. I don't know if I can come back to visit you again. Please take care of yourselves."

Standing up, looking at the villagers who were fighting for him, Mu Feng bowed slightly to them and said, "Thank you all for fighting for me today. Mu Feng is very grateful. But it's getting dark. We should go back. The mountain road will be difficult to walk after dark."

"I owe you all a favor for what happened today. If you need my help in the future, just come to Yunhe Village to find me!" Mu Feng said reluctantly.

The villagers were reluctant to let him go, after all, they were from the same village. They just thought that he was in the next village and they would have the chance to see him in the future.

Mu Feng and Luo Yu pressed their handprints, and the other four members of the Mu family did the same.

Seeing that they were about to leave, the head of the village was still worried, so he asked the clan elders to rewrite two copies and put their fingerprints on them. The clan elders and the head of the village each kept a copy for safekeeping, for fear that the Mu family would regret it in the future, and they wanted to eliminate these hidden dangers at once.

Before leaving, Luo Yu said, "Village head, I want to know if they found Mu Feng on that day, so that Mu Feng can find his relatives later."

After hearing Luo Yu's words, Wang Shi did not delay and went back to the house to get something out, handed it to Mu Feng and said, "The day we found you, we only had this silver hairpin and the beads you had on your hand before. We have never seen the others."

Luo Yu raised his wrist and took a look. He didn't expect that this might be a token that Mu Feng could use to find his relatives in the future. He had to keep it well.

Luo Ci has been nestling in their arms since she heard the quarrel.

Luo Yu thought that she must be very hungry. She only had breakfast today and had some buns and eggs for lunch, and that's it now.

During that time, Luo Yu peeled an egg for her and ate it in small bites in her arms.

Seeing that they were leaving, the villagers asked them to stay overnight, but the two refused.

They just want to go home.

The clan elders and the head of the village asked everyone to disperse.

The villagers then slowly dispersed. Mu Zhiye carefully invited the clan elders and the head of the village to go to their home, but neither of them went in. They warned him coldly to treat others well in the future and not to let them down again.

Afterwards, his expression seemed to change and he looked at Mu Feng and the others with a smile.

"I'm sorry for making you suffer. You should live a good life over there in the future. If you have any problems, you can come back to the village to find us. Although you feel disappointed for their family, the village welcomes you." The headman said warmly.

The elder of the clan is old, and now his grandson is going to help him go back.

Luo Yu pushed Mu Feng, he looked at her in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

Luo Yu said: "Didn't we bring a rabbit this morning? Since we can't even get into your house, the elders have helped us so much today, so let's honor them, right?"

The voice was quite loud, and the Mu family heard it. They felt annoyed. If they had let them in, maybe they could have kept the rabbit, which was meat after all.

Mu Feng nodded and took the rabbit out of the basket. The rabbit had been kept in the basket for a whole day and was now dying.

He handed it directly to the grandson of the clan elder and said, "Thank you for making this trip for me today. Take this rabbit back to nourish your body."

The elder refused, "I am telling you the truth. I am not really doing you a favor. You can take the rabbit back with you. Or you can give it to the head of the village to nourish his pregnant daughter-in-law."

The village head took it and said, "The elders, please accept it. My Mu Feng had already left it at home when I came this morning. Please don't be polite to the child. It will be very tiring for them to take it back."

The clan elder nodded, and his grandson accepted it.

Luo Yu asked for pickles. The clan elder's grandson thought that since they had accepted the rabbits, it was not surprising to also accept pickles.

There was still some water left, so Luo Yu went up and knocked on the door of her aunt who had just given her water.

The person opened the door, and Luo Yu smiled and said, "Aunt, I don't have much else. I also brought some pickles. If you don't mind, please accept them."

The aunt smiled and refused, "It's just some water. I feel embarrassed for you to be so polite!"

Luo Yu pretended to be disappointed and said, "If Auntie doesn't accept it, I'm embarrassed to find someone else to add some more water to our kettle. We have to hurry on our way."

When the aunt heard this, she quickly took the pickles and said apologetically, "Aunt, please accept it. It's just a pot of water. I have plenty of it at home!"

The elders of the clan looked at Luo Yu's cleverness and smiled with satisfaction.
