Back to the Countryside

The rumors in the village did not fade away with the passage of time as the village head originally imagined, but intensified, and more and more people visited his house.

It's okay if everyone doesn't mention it, but once it is mentioned, it will be out of control, and everyone will blame He Ling for their bad luck, so as to find comfort for their hearts.

Some people even blame him for the poor harvest in the field this year, instead of reflecting on whether they have not taken good care of the crops.

"What the hell are these people thinking? All the trivial things are being pinned on you!" Xu Hua was very annoyed, because he had a good relationship with He Ling, and this matter was rarely mentioned in front of him, and he also did it accidentally today. It was only after hearing other people's conversations that they realized that the situation was so serious, so they immediately came to their house.

Qi Yue kept a cold face and said nothing, he had been by A Ling's side all these days, and he didn't care much about the affairs of the village, yet someone was smearing his little husband and planning to drive them away!

"Okay, don't get mad at yourself." The calmest of the three was He Ling, who poured a glass of water for Xu Hua and said, "I've been called a disaster since I was a child, and I'm used to it. "

Xu Hua took a sip of the water he handed over, and suppressed the anger in his heart, "Everyone didn't look for problems with themselves, but believed those unreliable ones, and some people lost two eggs to the chickens at home. It's just too ridiculous to break it all to you!"

Seeing that he put the cup heavily on the table and looked angry, He Ling couldn't help laughing out loud, "You're saying it's absurd, why bother to get angry because of these, you know it's all nonsense."

Seeing him not only not angry, but smiling, Xu Hua felt powerless. Those people were scolding him and wanted to drive him out of the village. Did he take his words to heart?

"I don't think this happened by accident!" Qi Yue, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth expressionlessly, "Someone must be playing tricks behind the scenes, deliberately spreading rumors."

If it weren't for this, how could the good rumors start up, and now it's the autumn harvest, and no one has the time to talk about these things.

"You mean, someone is deliberately targeting Brother Ling?" Xu Hua immediately understood what he meant, and felt that it made some sense.

He Ling was also taken aback. He didn't think about it. There are many people in the village who hate him, but they are the only ones who wish to drive him away. "The He family?"

"No!" Qi Yue retorted unexpectedly, "The old, weak, sick and disabled in their family don't have the guts to provoke us now!"

In fact, there is a candidate in his heart, and he is the most likely. If it is really that person who did it, he doesn't even need to take revenge, anyway, sooner or later he will...

While the three were talking, Feng Zheng came to the door and said that several families in the village were blocking their house, and the village chief had to make a decision to drive them out of the village!The village chief was so annoyed that he couldn't help it, so he asked his son to come to them and talk about the matter.

He Ling was still pregnant with the child, Qi Yue didn't want him to go to such a messy place, so he asked Xu Hua to accompany him, and walked away with Feng Zheng.

When we arrived at the village chief's house, the people in the house saw him with different expressions, some were embarrassed, some were guilty, and some were obviously disgusted. Most of these people were older, and there were also a few young men.

"Qi boy, you're here!" The village chief greeted him when he saw him, he was also annoyed, so he planned to find him, and everyone explained the matter openly.

Qi Yue nodded at him, looked around at those people, and smiled gracefully, "I heard that you are very concerned about my husband these days, don't you mind talking to me?" ?”

His demeanor that was out of tune with everyone stopped them for a while, and the room was silent for a long time before an old man coughed dryly and said: "As the saying goes, it's better to believe what you have than to believe what you don't have. Those words Although it sounds absurd, it is not completely unreasonable!"

"That's right, the He family's disasters in recent days are really inexplicable, and we all see it!" Another person also answered, with a look of convincing evidence.

"And the little tiger from the Lin family, too, what a good child, his uncle and aunt usually have very sweet mouths, why did he suddenly fight with someone and suffer such serious injuries!"

"Isn't it? These are all related to him!"

Once someone started, those people would have less scruples, talking like they were telling the truth, not just hearsay.

Qi Yue kept listening to them with a smile on his face, until the room gradually quieted down, he said: "What you said sounds like it has nothing to do with my husband, so just put the blame on him like this , is too far-fetched."

"Hmph, he is your husband, so you should speak up for him!" A middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, "Our family's harvest was good in previous years, but this year, once his life is better, it will be much worse. , must have been sucked into his blessing!"

His family's harvest has lost a lot this year, and he feels very suffocated. It happened that there were rumors in the village, and he immediately felt that it must be the other party's fault, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence!

Qi Yue turned his eyes to him, saw the resentment on his face, raised his eyebrows and said: "This elder brother is joking, whether the crops are growing well or not is a matter of daily management. It is a matter of blaming others for such things. meaningless."

When he said this, it seemed that he was making trouble for no reason, and the man said angrily: "Don't separate the relationship here, you have never planted crops before, the grain in the field grows well!"

He had seen the crops in the opponent's field before, the ears of wheat were extremely dense and full, which made him jealous. How could a person who was farming for the first time grow such good grain!

"Although I have never planted land, I am a doctor. I take care of herbs all the year round, and I have some experience in tending plants." Compared with his excitement, Qi Yue was very calm.

The man was so blocked by him that he had nothing to say. He felt that he had lost face and was even more angry, "I can't say no to you scholars, but these things must have something to do with He Ling. For everyone's good, you should move out of the village as soon as possible." Get out, and pay us for our losses!"

As soon as he said this, Qi Yue sneered coldly. He said it so high-soundingly, but he just wanted to use it to make the fall wind, "You charged my husband with unwarranted charges, I haven't settled with you yet, you guys It's a slap in the face!"

He suddenly changed his face, which made everyone present stunned. They were used to his gentle and reasonable demeanor, but they were shocked to see him like this so suddenly.

The village chief sighed. This incident itself was their unreasonable trouble, and they insisted on blaming others. If there is really no way to end this time, it is their own fault.

"I came here today not to listen to you pouring dirty water on my husband, but to tell you that I have never liked to cause trouble, but if someone finds trouble on me, I will not let it go! "Qi Yue clasped his hands behind his back, and glanced across the faces of each of them.

Everyone's faces were ugly, no matter what their seniority was, they would lose face if they were taught by a junior like this, the old man who spoke first said: "Qi Yue, don't speak too much, sit here All of them are older than you!"

"I have always only respected sensible elders, like the village head." Qi Yue cupped his hands as he spoke, and the other party nodded at him, "As for those who rely on the old to sell the old, forget it."

"You..." The old man was choked up by his anger, and he held his chest to breathe.

What he said included all the people here, didn't he mean that they oppressed the younger generation based on their age, and didn't take them seriously at all.

"Our village doesn't welcome people like you who don't respect the elderly!" The previous man pointed at him and shouted: "Get out of Gushui Village quickly!"

Qi Yue narrowed his eyes, and suddenly said: "I wonder if this person you know in Shangzhuang Village?"

What he said was inexplicable, and everyone didn't understand, but the man suddenly changed his expression, and said in a stern voice: "I... I don't know what you are talking about, I have always lived in Gushui Village, how could I know Shangzhuang Village people!"

Qi Yue didn't care about his excuses at all, and asked again: "How many benefits did he give you, and let you spread bad words about my husband?"

The man's expression became even more flustered, his eyes dodged around and he didn't dare to look directly at him, sweat broke out on his forehead after a while, and he didn't speak for a long time.

His guilty conscience surprised everyone present. What does this mean?Is there anything else going on here?

The village chief understood that this person has been targeting Qi Yue, and his feelings are for taking advantage of others. When he thinks about Shangzhuang Village he mentioned, he also thinks of someone, "Is what Qi Xiaozi said true?"

"He...he was talking nonsense, I didn't!" The man was obviously panicked, but he still refused to admit it.

But at this moment, no one believed what he said. His expression was completely exposed. Many people couldn't help but recall in their hearts that this man had indeed whispered in their ears several times that his crops were not harvested well. He stole the luck, and said that the recent unlucky things that happened in their family might also be related to the other party!

Seeing that everyone started to look at him with unkind eyes, the man was also a little scared, and quickly said: "I'm not the only one who took advantage, I was just helping out, I didn't spread the words!"

When he admitted this, everyone's expressions changed again, and they looked at Qi Yue with a little embarrassment. It was obvious that someone was targeting them, and they were all being used!

"Who is the person who gave you the money?" The village head was obviously more concerned about this question, so he asked first.

But the man shook his head and said: "It's a boy I don't know, I only know that he is from Shangzhuang Village."

His answer was within Qi Yue's expectations, the other party has learned a lot now, so naturally he wouldn't do this kind of thing in person, it would be strange if he knew!

But these are not important. Anyway, he knows in his heart that these people only need to let them know that someone is behind the scenes to pick things up, and the rest doesn't matter.

Seeing their embarrassing expressions, Qi Yue grinned, bowed his hands to them, and said: "Just now, in order to find out the person who sent the message, I offended you all with words. I will apologize here, and I hope you will forgive me." .”

He took the initiative to give the steps. They had no reason not to go down. Naturally, they all quickly waved their hands and said that it was excusable. They could also understand, so he didn't need to take it to heart.

After a few words of politeness to each other, Qi Yue's expression became a little sentimental again, and he said: "Because of these rumors recently, Ah Ling's mood is very bad, he can't even eat, he is still pregnant, I am really worried, if you can , everyone in the village, please help explain a thing or two, don't let him be so sad."

Everyone looked at him like this, and felt even worse in their hearts. It was really shameful for them to make up a brother who had a child in this way, and they didn't know who was so wicked to plan against others like this.

It was only natural for him to have such a request, everyone agreed, and the matter was over here, they had no face to wait any longer, they all left and left, and the man also sneaked away, Qi Yue ignored it, anyway His life in the village will not be so comfortable in the future.

"What a farce!" The family finally calmed down, and the village chief breathed a sigh of relief. He tentatively said, "The person who sent the message..."

Seeing him mentioning this, Qi Yue knew that he also had a guess in his heart, "The village chief doesn't need to worry, I know it well, and I will deal with it myself."

It's just some cheap tricks, do you really think you can cheat the world?It's really naive, but it's okay to treat him as those idiots of the He family!
