Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

In the open space in the middle of Guojia Village, most of the people in the village gathered.They all heard that Guo Zhongzhou caught a man who went to the stall to cause trouble several times. It was said that this time he planned to poison the stall directly.

Everyone in the village wanted to see what kind of punishment this man would receive.The village chief's words and intentions were too obvious, and some people in the village began to exchange malicious looks - since some people did it and were not punished, then if they continue to do small things, the village chief won't hold them accountable, right? ?

When Chang Pingning told Meng Xia what happened at the stall that morning, she also noticed that some villagers looked at their house, like hungry wolves staring at a big fat piece of meat.

After Meng Xia listened, he asked Chang Pingning a few more detailed questions.For example, how did you get into trouble the first few times?Did that person bring poison today?
Chang Pingning explained that it was a laxative, and Guo Bomo on the side also confirmed it.

When Chang Pingning finished telling Meng Xia about the previous troubles, Meng Xia nodded and walked forward in the direction of the village chief and Guo Dayong.

"Where did this wild girl come from? Come down quickly. The meeting place in the village is not something you can easily disrupt!"

Some villagers protested loudly.

Meng Xia stood still and turned around, pointing at the big man tied in the middle and saying: "This man wants to use laxatives to harm the customers at my stall -" and pointed at Guo Zhongzhou, who had dark circles under his eyes, "This man is the right man at my stall. . Naturally, I want to come and listen to see how the village chief wants to give my stall justice."

The village chief frowned and glared at Meng Xia, then looked at Guo Dayong impatiently: "Isn't your eldest daughter-in-law's stall yours?" After seeing Guo Dayong shaking his head, he shouted to the people around him, " Whose daughter-in-law is this? Take her down quickly." She didn't even look at Meng Xia during the whole process.

Meng Xia snorted coldly: "Village Chief Guo is really a noble man who forgets things. Not long ago, you praised the seafood banquet I made at the Liu family for being delicious. When I asked you to discuss hosting another flowing water banquet in the village, you even rejected me. Return."

Only then did the village chief realize that the little girl in front of him was from the Liu family.He thought of the luxurious carriages parked in front of Liu's house recently, and immediately changed his attitude and bowed his hands respectfully.

"It turns out to be the Liu family's cook. You don't know, but we are all from the same village. There may be people from our village who will marry into their village later. Don't let this trivial matter make the relationship between the two villages sour. 'You have to spare others and spare others'.

"I also looked at the laxatives on him. They are usually used on ships and go to sea. They will not bring any bad consequences. At most, they only need to run to the toilet a few more times. Who hasn't run to the toilet when the weather is cold? . I think we should just let it go. He will definitely not dare to do it again next time."

The village chief explained with a smile, but his intention to favor that person was obvious.

"Village Chief Guo originally thought that adding laxatives to the food was not a big deal." Meng Xia asked with a smile.

The village chief nodded. When he was young and went to sea, he took some laxatives on his own initiative. It was not worth the effort of the second son of the Dayong family.

Meng Xia seemed to be waiting for the village chief's approval and asked quickly: "I wonder if the village chief still remembers the clam vermicelli pot I made at the last seafood banquet? I will make it for you alone again, but with his body in it." How about the laxatives you brought?"

Of course not!

The village chief wanted to retort like this, but considering what he had said to persuade Meng Xia before, he looked stern: "I am getting old now, so taking laxatives voluntarily may not be good for my health."

"Village Chief Guo was joking. Even if he is not old, normal people will have an impact on the body if they accidentally take laxatives." Meng Xia said, "My stall was almost maliciously drugged. Fortunately, the man found it early. I will definitely have to pay for it." The guy comes first.

"If the village chief is unwilling to make the decision for my man because of his relationship with the neighboring village, then I won't be afraid of the trouble and go to the town to report it to the official. I believe that the county magistrate will definitely seek justice for us."

Meng Xia's face was serious, and it was obvious that he was unwilling to accept the village chief's peace with Xi Ni.

Chang Pingning looked at Meng Xia in the crowd and felt that her whole body was almost shining as she stood up for him.

"I'm just a servant of the Liu family, so what's the deal with getting involved in our village?" Someone among the villagers said.Chang Pingning followed the sound and looked over and found that it was the village chief's wife, Aunt Shuzhen.

Meng Xia glanced at the somewhat unfamiliar woman with disdain, followed the example of the village chief before, and looked around: "Whose woman is this? Can she speak in such a situation? Why don't you take her back quickly!"

Because her husband is the village head, when Aunt Shuzhen talks, people in the village will give her some respect. Unexpectedly, this servant of the Liu family would not give her any respect at all, and would use her husband's previous words to talk about her.

"My son!" Ye Xiuying suddenly cried and howled to divert everyone's attention. She didn't want Meng Xia, who had come forward, to be remembered by the village chief's family.

Ye Xiuying howled: "Why are you so miserable! I'm afraid we won't be able to get married a few days ago, and we can't go to the stall either..."

"Sister Xiuying, just let me help at your daughter-in-law's stall. I'm not boasting, my craftsmanship is pretty good." The person who spoke was Aunt Yuhua.

Almost everyone in Guojia Village knew about the discord between Guo Yuhua and Ye Dayong's family, but they didn't expect that Guo Yuhua was so thick-skinned and could say "help" on such occasions.

Chang Pingning saw Aunt Yuhua and realized that the big man was hired by Aunt Yuhua, and there was something wrong this morning. She wanted to go forward and tell Meng Xia, but her arm was held tightly by Guo Bomo.

Meng Xia noticed Chang Pingning's abnormality, and even saw the obstruction from Chang Pingning's man, and took the initiative to ask: "Is this the aunt who sells grilled oysters at the port?"

Chang Pingning nodded excitedly.

Meng Xia smiled happily at Chang Pingning and turned to the village chief: "This aunt must have hired someone to give laxatives. No wonder the village chief refused to report it to the official. It turned out to be because he was afraid that his own person would be found." The tone was ambiguous, almost as if It implies that there is some confusion between the village chief and Aunt Yuhua.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The village chief was irritated by Meng Xia's gossipy tone and glanced nervously at his wife standing nearby.

"It must be someone hired by Aunt Yuhua! She didn't even leave the stall today!" Chang Pingning shouted loudly, her arm was still firmly held by Guo Bomo, but she didn't care, she just hoped that people around her could hear her voice .

"Nonsense! I'm not going out today because I'm not feeling well." Aunt Yuhua retorted, but no one around her believed it.

"That makes more sense!" Meng Xia seemed not to have heard Guo Yuhua's words, "If any merchants had a bad stomach this morning, they would definitely think of Mrs. Chang who was working at the stall today. The aunt who was not working at the stall was not at all will be suspected.

"After this, when diners think of Mrs. Chang's stall, they will only think that there is something wrong with the seafood. They will go to this aunt's stall instead." Meng Xia analyzed loudly and looked at the people in front of him, "Since someone has already criticized my carbon Interested in grilled oysters…”

When Chang Pingning first heard that Meng Xia related today's events to Aunt Yuhua, she was very happy that Meng Xia had the same idea as her.But after Meng Xia deliberately pointed out that the villagers were interested in charcoal-grilled oysters, Chang Pingning became nervous.

She still remembered Meng Xia's attitude towards someone trying to learn this dish. At worst, he would teach them.Chang Pingning was worried that Meng Xia would directly say "teach everyone charcoal grilled oysters" on this occasion.

Chang Pingning looked at Meng Xia nervously. If Meng Xia wanted to teach others, she could not object.

But Meng Xia smiled placatingly at her and spoke loudly to everyone.

"I want to see first how the village plans to deal with these two people who maliciously poisoned food."
