"Let them all go." The magistrate looked at the constable, and the constable quickly gave the order to disperse the crowd.

"Get up."

Village Chief Wang trembled as he stood up. Bowing, he said in a humble tone, "Sir, I still have to rely on you for this year's selection. It is my fault, I should not have disobeyed you."

"If there's a next time, you don't need to sit on this seat anymore. There are a lot of people who want to sit on this seat! I can't touch people who try to take advantage of their power! " The magistrate stared coldly at Village Chief Wang. Without another word, he lifted his leg and left.

"Thank you, Old Master Qingtian!" Gu Qingzi knelt down in front of the county magistrate's back. Her heavy voice made the county magistrate slightly turn his head, and when he saw Gu Qingzi's swollen eyes and her trembling figure, he sighed in his heart. He didn't say anything, but his figure gradually disappeared into the distance as the group of constables followed behind the county magistrate.

Village Chief Wang was startled by Gu Qingzi's kneeling posture. Seeing the magistrate walking away, she scolded, "This is what your Gu family wishes for, hurry up and leave!"

"Since it's not the matter of the Gu Family's Fish Soup, why did you yell at her? This is your fault, you said that our village doesn't need the Gu Family's acres of land, why do you insist on doing this? You've offended the County Magistrate, so your selection this year will be suspended."

She had already advised her husband more than once, but he was still so stubborn.

Village Chief Wang did not take this lying down as he said snappily, "You are a woman, what do you know?"

"All you have to do is say 'women', 'women' and 'women' all the time, so what? Look, didn't you just die in the hands of a woman this time? " Lady Wang frowned as she looked at Wang Renjie. She retracted her hand that was supporting his arm. "Since you still have the strength to talk, then you can go back by yourself. I don't want to suffer from your temper any longer."

"Hmph." Village Chief Wang was also unyielding. He endured the pain as he returned home.

After returning home, the more he thought about it, the more upset he became. In all his years of career as a official, he had never experienced such a thing. This time, he had suffered a loss.

Thinking about the selection and the scolding of the county magistrate, Village Chief Wang now hated Gu Qingzi. It was not easy for him to maintain his current position, but could it be that because of the Gu family, he had to fall?

He sent some men to invite those hooligans home. Village Chief Wang sat on a chair and looked at the people standing, "Have you any ideas on teaching the Gu family a lesson?"

"Use a snake to scare Gu Qingzi."

"…"

"…"

All of them started talking at once, causing a bunch of bad ideas to pop up. Village Chief Wang felt a headache listening to them, "That's enough, that's enough. Don't say anymore. Just do as you've said."

The few of them left through the back door, agreeing to go to the Gu household together tomorrow morning.

At this moment, the Gu family was overjoyed.

"Third sister, you still have a way." Gu Loong laughed happily.

Madame Gu hugged Gu Qingzi as tears welled up in her eyes. "My son, it's a good thing that you're fine."

Gu Qingzi's heart warmed as she carried Madame Gu back to Madame Gu and patted her on the shoulder coquettishly. "Mother, I said that I would be fine."

"The six of us are divided into six acres of land. We are late today, so Father and I will go and loosen up the soil tomorrow." Gu Loong handed the land deed over to Old Man Gu. Old Man Gu put it away and nodded, "Come on, let's go to the inner room for dinner."

Lian Qingmei brought her child out to the back room for dinner. The house was peaceful.

Tonight, everyone slept soundly.

The next morning.

The Gu family had already finished washing their faces. There was more work to be done today than usual, so everyone got up earlier than usual.

While they were eating, Old Man Gu glanced at Gu Wei and looked away, "Second Brother, come with me and work in the fields today."

"Dad, I have to take care of the child. Zhi won't be able to see me, so I'll cry." Gu Wei's mind raced as he immediately thought of an excuse.

Old Man Gu frowned awkwardly, "Second brother, your wife will take your child. You can split the six acres of land in your home and farm it yourself."

"I'm not going. I'm busy." After Gu Wei said this, he hurriedly ate his meal, stood up and carried the child beside Lian Qingmei out of the room.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned silent.

Gu Qingzi didn't say anything. She couldn't possibly continue to be an evil person. Old Man Gu didn't care about it. It was fine for her to do her best.

The group of people got off the ground, including Lian Qingmei and Gu Qingzi. There was no other way around it. There was too much land, and it was a burden. However, they had to cultivate it, or it would become abandoned.

Leaving Gu Wei alone at home to guard Gu Zhi.

Gu Wei was also happy to be free. Fortunately, Gu Zhi didn't cry now. It had been a hundred days since Gu Zhi called him dad, and Gu Wei was also willing to tease Gu Zhi.

After pacifying Gu Zhi, Gu Wei started to be dishonest. He carried Gu Zhi to Gu Qingzi's room. After Wu Tie stopped crying at night, Gu Qingzi moved out to live in her own room.

Since there was no one at home today, Gu Wei was bold in his actions as well. After he left Gu Zhi in Lian Qingmei's room, he swiftly ran to Gu Qing's room.

That's right, he was addicted to gambling and wanted to gamble. Coincidentally, Gu Qingzi had gotten the money a while ago, so it had only been a month and Gu Qingzi definitely hadn't spent all of it.

He had no money, so he wanted to search Gu Qingzi's house and steal Gu Qingzi's money to gamble.

Just as he pushed open the door and entered, he saw a delinquent holding a bamboo basket and placing snakes inside. Gu Wei was shocked and immediately walked up to that person and kicked him. "Why are you letting snakes in my sister's room?"

"Aiyo, who the hell is kicking me?" Lee Erpi rubbed his butt as he turned around and saw Gu Wei. His eyes flashed as he said, "Why didn't you go down to the ground?"

"Lee Erpi?" When Gu Wei saw that it was this person, he immediately became angry, "What are you doing in my house again? Didn't you harm me enough last time? " He wasn't an idiot. If Lee Erpi didn't say that he would have gambled, he might not have been able to do it. However, taking Lian Qingmei as collateral and even causing him to almost lose his wife, he had yet to settle the score with Lee Erpi!

"This," Lee Erpi glanced at the door, wanting to run away, but he still chose to fight Gu Wei, "Look at what you said, Gu Er. How did I harm you?" Saying that, he fiercely dashed towards the door.

Gu Wei quickly grabbed Lee Erpi by the collar and pulled him to the ground. His fist landed on Lee Erpi's body with a crackling sound: "We will settle the score. You asked me to pawn my wife and you even set snakes in my sister's house!"

"It's your own wish to mortgage your wife!"

"If I say it, then retort!" Gu Wei's fist was thrown towards Lee Erpi's face.

Lee Erpi was not only beaten, he was also beaten back.
