The matter between Zhang Wangcai and Bai Xue came to an end that day.
After all, after being caught by so many people, it was impossible for the two of them to deny it, so they simply stated that they were truly in love.
Zhang Wangcai even shamelessly scolded Chen Jing for seducing him and ruining his marriage with Bai Xue. The angry Chen family almost killed someone in the ancestral hall.
In the end, Zhang Wangcai and Bai Xue were beaten for their disorderly conduct, and the Zhang family was fined to pay Chen Jing five taels of silver, and Chen Jing was allowed to reconcile and take away all their private houses. The matter was finally settled.
As for what kind of life Chen Jing will have in the future, no one pays much attention to it. In short, it is better to be taken back by the Chen family than to live in a broken house without anyone to take care of her.
"Second sister, I just went to the village to collect beans, and I happened to see the people from the old house and the Zhang family scolding each other on the street. Old Mrs. Bai insisted on a betrothal gift of twenty taels, and the Zhang family didn't want to spend a penny.
He took her back without even wanting to give her a marriage certificate, saying that Bai Xue was destined to be a concubine, and it made a big fuss."
As soon as Bai Wei entered the room, she happily shared the information she had just obtained with Bai Ling.
"You're such a girl, you still don't know how to be more prudent." Bai Liu scolded her, but she felt aggrieved in her heart.
All my daughters are as beautiful as flowers and have the ability to make money, but it seems that they are all ready to become mothers, but no one comes to ask for marriage.
"Lu." Bai Wei made a face, sat next to Bai Ling, and kept exchanging glances. She felt uncomfortable being interrupted from sharing.
"What happened next?" Bai Ling asked, fearing that Bai Wei would hold it back.
"What else can we do! After Chen Huang got the letter, she also went to make trouble. She also said that if they didn't get married, their family would have to go to the clan. This adulterer is really a pig-pen dipper."
Bai Wei imitated it with great joy, imitating Chen Huang's shrew style perfectly.
When the clan agreed to let him go, one reason was that the Zhang family was a single person, and it would not be good to cut off his family.
Next, for the sake of money, the Chen family offered to let them go if they were willing to get married, thus saving them in disguise.
"...Later, both families took a step back. They did not hold the wedding gift of ten taels of silver, and asked Bai Xue to pack up and follow. The old man's house still wanted to give the gift, but Bai Xue refused to give it and said he didn't want it.
The money and dowry as a betrothal gift are already repaying the favor."
Bai Wei sneered when she said this, but she looked happy.
"The Zhang family is not a light-hearted person. As soon as they heard Bai Xue's words, they knew there was something good in the bag and immediately grabbed it. Chen Huang was still cursing on the sidelines, saying that it was a dog-fighting affair. Zhang Wangcai and Bai Xue
If we don't become husband and wife, we will harm so many people. This is God's retribution."
"You're talking nonsense again. I'm a big girl. Is this what you can say?" Bai Liu gave Bai Wei a hard look, looked at Bai Ling and asked: "Second girl, do you want to intercede about your lover's wife?"
, it’s been delayed recently, but is there any news?”
"Well, I'm on my way here, I should be here soon." Bai Ling nodded.
After all, the wife brought her family here, so she couldn't go too fast.
In addition, due to the disaster victims, there was no need to waste time on the road.
"That's good. Later, you all learn the rules and you can marry into a good family in the future, and my mother won't have to worry about it anymore." Bai Liu said with a sigh of relief.
The sisters looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh. Recently, Mrs. Bai Liu always mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that they would get married in the future, but she forgot that there was no one who even proposed marriage, let alone agreed and asked them to nod.
.
However, the sisters all made a tacit agreement to remain silent, lest Mrs. Bai Liu continue to talk about it, and it would be their ears that would suffer.
The winter month has arrived in a blink of an eye, and there have been several heavy snowfalls in the north, the roads are icy, and the people are living in a cat-like winter.
Because the victims were resettled well, the winter wheat was not wasted by the victims to satisfy their hunger, which made the county magistrate feel relieved.
Bai Ling, who was idle at home, focused on training several girls and boys in the family who were talented in medical skills, and planned to build a school in the future.
"Girl, although what Bai Dashu did this time was unreasonable, he was coerced after all. The government slapped a blackmail and sentenced him to jail for a month as a warning. It was already a punishment for him. Now because of Bai Dashu's
Because of the relationship, the two boys from the Bai family can no longer take the imperial examination, so the tribe wants them to compensate the villagers for their losses and clean the ancestral hall for another three years, and this matter will be over temporarily, what do you think?"
After Hong Quan's case was decided, Bai Ling got the news immediately.
In this era, there was a crime of harboring, but Bai Dashu was robbed first, and he insisted that he was also a victim. The county magistrate was not willing to give in, so he could only give a light sentence.
If Bai Ling hadn't said hello in advance, Bai Dashu would have spent money to smoothen the relationship, and he would have been let go.
"This is a clan matter. It's up to the clan leader and the clan elders to make the decision. I have no objection." Bai Ling smiled and shook his head.
Ruining the expectations of the old house and preventing Bai Dashu from ever getting ahead is Bai Ling's greatest revenge on them. There is no need to lose the reputation of being ruthless in the clan.
The clan leader stroked his beard with satisfaction. As a clan leader, he did not want his descendants to have big problems, such as being expelled from the family tree and turning into rootless lawns.
"You are a kind-hearted girl. The third family suffered a loss in this matter. The villagers still have compensation, but your family..." The patriarch shook his head helplessly.
"There is no substantial damage to the third room, so I don't mind the issue of compensation. It's just that I don't want the old house to continue to make trouble, otherwise I don't know how many times I can give in to my bottom line." Although Bai Ling spoke with a smile,
The determination in his eyes is very real.
"Grandpa understands that your three houses are all good." The patriarch didn't know what to say about the old house. He could only live a peaceful life, but he had to turn it into what it is now, and the family property was almost ruined.
After all, several lives were involved in this compensation matter, so in addition to compensating money, Laozhai also compensated most of the family's land, and the rest was barely enough to make ends meet.
"Forget about them. Even if the clan leader doesn't ask me to come over today, I plan to come over in the next few days."
Bai Ling smiled and changed the subject, not caring about the people or things in the old house unless she got into trouble.
"Most of our children in Nanshan Village have never gone to school. Even if our lives are better, it is inconvenient and expensive to go to the town to go to school. So I thought, if we can build our own clan school, we will have the ambition to go to school."
It’s okay to educate the children. Those who are really talented in reading will have a good future in the future, no matter how appropriate the clan provides them with subsidies, right?"
"Girl, please tell Grandpa carefully about this matter." The patriarch became interested upon hearing this.
"This is just my personal idea. Grandpa Patriarch, please listen to it first. If you think it doesn't work, don't laugh at me."
Bai Ling said pleasantly, showing a bit of girlish naivety.
"I was thinking that it would be impossible for our small mountain village to hire those famous masters, but it is possible to hire scholars and so on. It is not a problem to teach children enlightenment. Even if they can't continue to study and pursue an official career, literate people can go out
It is also easy to become famous. Moreover, whether it is a boy or a girl, they should learn a craft so that they can be popular in marriage..."
Bai Ling talked about his preliminary plan and concealed some of his true thoughts.
It's not that Bai Ling is unwilling to be honest, but that he is eager for success, which makes it difficult to achieve results. (To be continued)
