Cute Beauty’s Romantic Affairs - C125
“Is there even a need to hear it? I went to see it in the middle of the night. ” Jiaoniang laughed, “I wonder if we can send it to the officials today?”
Wu Sinan had his own plans, and Jiaoniang did not plan to interfere. No matter what the truth of the matter was, Bai Ling was not a simple woman.
“They say that it was the crowing of a chicken that was still causing trouble. We don’t know where Lin Kang went, the Patriarch just won’t let anyone bring Bai Ling away.”
Jiaoniang nodded his head and did not reply.
After cleaning the warehouse, Jiaoniang naturally wanted to keep the lotus flowers and Chen Liu’er to eat dinner at home, but Chen Liu’er insisted on going home. Jiaoniang had no choice, he knew that they were too embarrassed to go, so he made up his mind to bring the rabbit back from Wu Sinan’s place as soon as possible.
After eating the noodles for lunch, he placed the prepared noodles into the cold boiling water and added a few more dishes to add fuel to the fire. Not long after he finished eating in the hall with ice cubes, someone called out to Jiaoniang, “Bai Ling is being interrogated at the Ancestral Hall! Hurry up and go take a look! ”
stopped her in her tracks to ask what was going on. Cuilian’s mother went over to Jiaoniang’s ear mysteriously and whispered, “That brat Lin Kang has been caught, the county magistrate has also come.
Normally, these villagers wouldn’t even dare to step foot inside the county office gate, let alone get close enough to see the county magistrate. Jiaoniang had met the county magistrate from afar last time, and the county magistrate was only a middle-aged man around forty to fifty years old.
But Jiaoniang was also curious as to where Lin Kang had gone to before he stopped Cuilian’s mother and asked: “How did Lin Kang get caught?”
Cuilian’s mother’s eyes flashed with glee, “That brat is also a coward. He ran away faster than anyone when he saw the officials approaching, but he ended up running into wolves and got caught red-handed.”
Jiaoniang pursed his lips and smiled. How could a scholar like Lin Kang be able to escape from such a heavy mountain range outside of Lin Family Village? “Come, let’s go take a look.”
“Quickly go take a look! He caught Wang Lao’er’s fish that time, why don’t we help him see how these bad guys died with our own eyes!”
Jiaoniang declined to comment and followed Cuilian’s mother to the Ancestral Hall.
Wang Meihua stopped Tieh Dan from coming to watch the show, and Qiu Ju and his wife did not go either. After all, the two of them were not villagers, and after all, Jiaoniang could tell them about the situation when he returned.
It was better to cut down the pig grass than to watch the show. It was hotter for the pigs, and there was nothing on the pigsty that could hide it from the sun. They could only pour water into the pigsty from time to time to cool it down.
When Jiaoniang rushed over, he saw from afar that the outside of the ancestral hall was filled with people who wanted to watch the fun, they didn’t even care about the crops, it was more important to watch the fun.
On the altar in the ancestral hall were memorial tablets of some status within the clan, as well as ancestral tablets passed down from generation to generation. This was an important place that was usually guarded by many, and it wasn’t easy to open its doors.
In the past few months, Jiaoniang only saw the door open after interrogating her and now that Bai Ling was interrogating her. Currently, the county magistrate and the two Liu brothers were seated on the left and right sides of the hall dressed in casual clothes. Bai Ling and Lin Kang were kneeling down, while the patriarch was seated on the side.
This was practically bringing the court to the village.
Jiaoniang was unable to squeeze in, he was burnt outside. He could only stand far away and look at the ancestral hall, unable to hear anything, and could only see the people moving around, not knowing what to do.
In the end, Jiaoniang only saw Bai Ling being dragged out by Eldest Liu and Second Li with hands tied up. It was unknown where he was going to take him, so the patriarch of the ancestral hall was also kneeling on the ground, possibly begging for mercy on behalf of his son. Not only the chief, but the entire family of the chief was crying and shouting outside. Those who didn’t know what was going on would think that the sky was about to collapse.
In reality, that was the case. What Jiaoniang did not know was that after Lin Kang finished explaining everything, even the position of Patriarch could not be preserved.
When the villagers heard this news, some were worried, some were happy. Most of those who were worried fawned over the village chief, hoping to pay a bit less during the autumn payment. Those who were happy naturally suffered a lot.
In the end, the clan leader was still the head of the clan. Now that he was busy fighting against the drought, how could he manage the clan’s affairs without the clan leader?
Overall, the change of position of Clan Chief brought more trouble to the Lin Family Village.
Jiaoniang never thought that such a thing would be resolved so quickly. She had thought that it would at least take a few rounds, but the reality was that the rural people had a natural amount of respect for the government, so Lin Kang did not manage to explain everything clearly in a few rounds of questions and answers. This included how he made the bookkeeper use a dead mouse to scare Cuilian.
Cuilian and him were of the same generation, and they had even grown up together in a village. He did not expect to still think about killing them to silence them.
As for the rest of the people in the village, ignoring the other factors, this matter had become a new topic after meals. The topic was simply about how much Wang Lao’er trusted Bai Ling, who would have thought that Bai Ling would treat him like this?
When Jiaoniang went back home, he gave a general idea of what had happened. A month had passed since the incident with Wang Lao’er, and they had still been discussing it at the beginning, but after a few rounds of discussion, not only did the people in Lin Family village know about it, very few people in the entire Qingyuan County knew about it.
Cuilian was brought back by her mother, and upon hearing that Lin Kang and Bai Ling had been captured, the mother and daughter cried bitterly. After it got dark, Cuilian even came over to thank Jiaoniang, making him forget about the grievances between the two.
Jiaoniang was clearly a girl with a good fate. Being pampered by her parents, she had a spoiled and pampered personality, and when she met with this matter, her fate was also good. Not only did nothing happen to her, she even corrected her personality.
It’s just that I don’t know if she still likes Lin Yang. Jiaoniang smiled mischievously, “Did any of the younger generations catch your aunt’s eyes this time?”
Cuilian’s face reddened, and Lin Yang’s face suddenly appeared in her mind. Today, she had also returned to see Lin Yang, but she did not even look at him, instead, she walked straight past him. Even when she was far away, she could still feel Lin Yang’s gaze on her.
Cuilian knew clearly in his heart what his parents were thinking when he went to stay at his aunt’s village. They were not willing for Cuilian to marry them or what kind of concubine he would marry into, nor were they willing for Cuilian to be shameless and stick to a poor brat all day. Currently, the surrounding villages in the Lin Family Village all heard about what Cuilian had done, and none of them were willing to marry her.
Cuilian understood, but he still could not muster up any energy. She felt that she had no ill intentions towards Lin Yang, but she didn’t want to get married so early. Fortunately, had interfered with their relationship and Cuilian was worried about her daughter, so she wasn’t willing to marry too far off either.
