Chapter 92 - Only Listening to Jiang Xi
“Get people to cut down the trees and build houses according to the village chief’s requirements. Then, send people back to the mountain to bring the rest of the people here,” the bandit leader ordered with a dark expression. Although they had a large number of people, Happy Village was a well-off village, so the village had the ability to accept them. Moreover, he only found out yesterday that the village chief was Zhao Ruifeng’s fiancée!
The bandit leader chuckled in a hoarse voice. He felt that his luck was finally coming. Little did he know that with Jiang Xi around, who would dare to have any more luck? Even if one were lucky, it was also the heavens that paved the way for Jiang Xi, their ‘biological daughter’.
The people behind him were stunned. They were all brothers that the bandit eader had taken in over the years, and they all listened to him. So, although they did not understand, they still followed the bandit leader’s orders.
At the Jiang residence, it was not yet dawn, but almost half of the village had gathered in the courtyard of the Jiang residence. Jiang Guoyou and his family were sitting quietly in the living room, while Jiang Xi was sitting on the chair at the very top.
“You’re just a kid who doesn’t know anything, yet you dare to make the decision to let those bandits stay. Do you know how many lives have been taken by them? You can die if you want to, but don’t drag us down with you!” Before the outsiders could speak, Jiang Er took the lead in berating Jiang Xi.
The villagers of Happy Village first looked at Jiang Er, then a man said quietly, “This morning, the bandits have already cut down trees to build houses.” Judging from their behavior, if they really stayed in the village, they would probably only listen to Jiang Xi. In other words, Jiang Xi was now backed by an entire mountain of bandits.
The snow had sealed off the mountain, and they had also encountered bandits. These two things added together were a disaster for anyone. However, Happy Village was bustling with activity, as lively as the new year. The scene was especially spectacular when pregnant women walked past in rows.
Horse footprints were found on the road leading to Happy Village. Someone reported it to the authorities. The people from the authorities could only sigh after taking a look. A few days ago, the snow had rolled down from the mountain and blocked the road into the village. It would take at least half a month to dig through this road.
“Sigh! The Happy Village must be in trouble.”
“I’m afraid General Zhao’s fiancée is also gone. Why did such a good girl not have a good ending once she’s engaged to General Zhao?” It was a pity that the entire Happy Village had been buried with her.
“The richest village around here is the Happy Village. If the bandits don’t look for them, who else would they look for? Bandits don’t even bother to come to poor villages like ours.” Yang Kun held onto the pregnant Chen Zhaodi. She was only four months pregnant, but she looked like she was six or seven months pregnant. Many people in the village were pointing at her.
Yang Kun’s father, Yang Shaoqun, had been called to town by the butler of the Zhao family’s courtyard yesterday. He said that Chen Zhaodi had never been gotten involved with any men before she got married and that the Zhao family’s butler had also given Yang Shaoqun a big garden project, so when Yang Shaoqun returned to the village, he scolded those people who spoke nonsense.
Yang Kun suppressed the uneasiness in his heart. After helping Chen Zhaodi to stand properly, he took out paper money and joss sticks and burned them on the road. As the saying goes, a person’s death is like the extinguishing of a lamp, and the past will also dissipate with it. He felt that he still had a conscience and was willing to burn joss paper for Jiang Xi’s family.
The people of Happy Village did not know what was going on outside. Some curious people in the village did some calculations. Including the bandits from outside, there were 46 pregnant people! A total of 46 pregnant people! The oldest of them all was Old Madam Jiang. She vomited all day long, and her face was pale. As soon as the Old Madam was pregnant, the marriages of several grandchildren were in a panic.
Zheng Rong also got pregnant as she wished. Jiang Da was so happy that he hugged her and spun a few rounds, causing Yang Fen to curse at him.
In fact, Yang Fen had other plans. Now that the marriages of Jiang Xi and the other sons in the family had been settled, she wanted Jiang Si to have a few more children in the future and then give one to Jiang Da. By then, Jiang Da’s family would have to help Jiang Si, and Jiang Si would be able to go further in the future. However, now that Zheng Rong was pregnant, the matter of giving a child had to be put aside.
