C66

Qimu stood there. Although her face wasn't very beautiful, her figure was graceful, neither servile nor overbearing. She was like the highest pure orchid in the sky valley, spotless.

Her eyes slowly swept across the expressions of everyone present. Looking at their expressions of approval and their scornful gazes, she chuckled in her heart. A trace of arrogance flashed across Qimu's face as she enunciated each word clearly:

"Indeed, Caogen is much closer to the riverbank than Yangyang. If I save him first, it won't take too long to make a trip back and forth."

Qimu's tone paused for a moment as the light in her eyes changed. Her sharp gaze fell on everyone who was present. She slightly lifted her chin and raised her voice, saying:

"But, choose again, I will still save Yangyang first. I will definitely save Yangyang first, no matter how close Caogen is to the riverbank, as long as Yangyang is still in danger, I will definitely save Yangyang."

"If the hope for Caogen to be saved rests on the dangerous time that Yangyang has to stay, then I have no choice but to choose Yangyang because he is my younger brother and I am his elder sister. We are related by blood."

"I can't go against my own heart. Yangyang is the lifeblood of my parents, and he is also a treasure in my heart. I can't give up on my own brother to save someone else's child. I don't want to do that."

"I would rather accept the reproaches of my fellow villagers than to disregard my own brother's life. All of the fellow villagers here have children and girls. Could it be that the first person I want to save when I am in danger is someone else's child?"

Qimu smiled gently, but her tone was soft and sharp as she asked her last question. It was easy to look at other people's jokes, but when the jokes were on her, who would laugh? We are not saints, why should we criticise each other?

Niu Chuxi looked at Qimu's gentle appearance and sighed softly. He shook his head and didn't say anything else. However, his gaze was not as sharp as before.

That's right, if he even ignored his younger brother's life, then that would truly be cold-blooded and heartless. Moreover, it wasn't that this girl didn't want to save him, but, sigh, this was truly a coincidence.

"Uncle Niu, if your baby and someone else's baby fell into the water and could only save one, then what would Uncle Niu do? Qimu was really curious, so she didn't continue to be so courteous. She asked boldly, "Uncle Niu, please explain it clearly."

Qimu walked a few steps forward and greeted the people who had scolded her earlier. With a smile on her face, she greeted them with a smile, as if she was a little girl who didn't know much about the mortal world.

He saw the man called Uncle Niu looking at Qimu with a red face, but he could not say a word for a long time. When the people around him saw this, they all moved away from him in silence. Uncle Niu's short and slim figure appeared very obvious in the crowd, but it only made him more embarrassed.

Qimu smiled when she saw this, but she did not press him on this matter. As long as the other villagers did not force her to do anything, she would be able to change her position and think about it a little, not being strict with others, and not being lenient with herself.

However, Qimu's eyes flickered with a pure smile. She was like a real child as she smiled mischievously and said:

"A person as good as Uncle Niu should feel the kindest, right?" If Uncle Niu was like those rich people in Wutong Town, who have tens of millions of rice and countless cloth silk, he would definitely give it to our fellow villagers in Niu Village to stop the hunger and the cold weather, right? "

Uncle Niu's frown disappeared as soon as he heard this. His words were timely, resolving his awkward predicament and secretly raising his moral standing. He glanced at Qimu flirtatiously and thought to himself, "This girl is quite tactful."

After Uncle Niu saw that everyone's eyes were on him, he couldn't help but feel pleased with himself. imitating Niu Chuxi's actions, he pretended to have his hands behind his back and walked a few steps back and forth on the empty ground before nodding his head while stroking his small mustache and pretending to be profound:

"Of course. Although I am a farmer, I know what I'm doing. I would never be able to look at rich people who stink of copper."

Hearing this, Qimu immediately agreed with Uncle Niu's words, nodding her head vigorously as a nightmarish smile blossomed on her face. She no longer stared at Uncle Niu alone, but instead gazed at the people in Niu Village who were dressed in ragged clothing, and spoke with incomparable sincerity.

"Fellow villagers, did you hear? Uncle Niu is a nice person. If you have a thousand taels of food and an inexhaustible cloth, you will definitely distribute it to your fellow villagers."

"Although our uncle Niu does not have the financial resources of the town's rich, he does have some hot food at home. The villagers are all digging wild vegetables, drinking water, and starving all day long. Why don't we find him for support?"

"We don't need those rare and precious seafood dishes. We only need to eat a mouthful of food to survive. Uncle Niu is kind and selfless. He has a Buddha in his heart, so he will definitely help his fellow villagers, right?"

Qimu glanced at him with a smile that wasn't a smile. Uncle Niu, who was standing amongst the crowd with an ugly expression, had no idea what to do. If he was happy to have someone else as his raft, then he would have to bear it well!

Such a person should be properly punished. Back then, when we split up, you scolded my cheap father the most fiercely. Now, let's see how you will deal with this!

"That's right, Ox-Head, your family has always been living a good life, but the baby in my family can't even grow up hungry. If you're a good person, then help our village …"

"Niu Zi, my house is the same, you too should pity my house, you don't even have a bit of your own land …"

"A living Bodhisattva … Pile Bro, you have to help me …"

"..."

Uncle Niu's face turned red as he gritted his teeth. He looked around at the hopeful eyes and thought about the pitiful food in the house. He steeled his heart, gritted his teeth, and said with a trembling voice,

"My fellow villagers, life in my house is not so good, I …"

Before Uncle Niu could finish his words, a powerful shout filled with a vicissitudes of life decisively stopped him. Qimu looked towards the voice, and saw that it was the clan elder who was sitting at the right side of the hall, the one sitting first. To be exact, he was the patriarch of the Niu Village, the patriarch of the clan, and his prestige was even greater than Niu Chuxi, the village patriarch.

"Fellow villagers are in trouble. Since you have the strength to back them up, it's only right for you to help them. Go back now and let your wife prepare."

He had a pleasant expression on his face, like a kind old grandpa. However, the displeasure hidden in the depths of his eyes was reflected in Qimu's eyes. The corner of Qimu's mouth slightly quirked as she sized up this old patriarch, who rarely appeared in the eyes of the crowd.

The old chief was also a legend back then …

"For what reason did the village head open the sect? Could it be that he is even more forgetful than I am?"

Hearing that, Niu Chuxi's already stiff face became even more solemn. He walked in front of the Old Village Head and respectfully bowed, saying:

"Patriarch, this nephew doesn't dare."

The Niu Village was a village that was initially built primarily with the Niu family, and the Li family, which was one of the largest families in the village, also came into existence after this. It used to be that the Niu family had always been the strongest, and the influence had always been like this.

Turning around, Niu Chuxi said to the crowd, especially Qimu and Aunt Wu.

"If that's the case, then the matter of Caogen falling into the water is not directly related to Mu." So it's just Caogen falling into the water, it's not directly related to Mu.

When Niu Chuxi's words came out, there were no objections from the audience. There were even some people in the second house of Ye Family who looked at Qimu with gratification in their eyes, as if they were relieved. Ye Dazhuang, on the other hand, instantly cried.

However, Aunt Wu was stunned for a moment. With her eyes wide open, her blood-red eyes were like that of a devil from hell. She said in a shocking manner while gnashing her teeth:

"Good, even if this girl is not guilty, she still wants to be buried with my Caogen. Yesterday, this girl was shameless and hugged and hugged my Caogen in the water. When she went ashore, she did not even have a coat left. There was no shame at all!"

"According to the rules, she should marry my Caogen. Married a chicken to a chicken, married a dog to a dog. They were born together when Caogen grabbed her feet. If she doesn't become my wife, the heavens will not forgive her!

Aunt Wu crawled and knelt in front of Niu Chuxi. Her face was full of tears as she shouted at the top of her lungs,

"I beg the Village Head to be the one to make the decision, and to carry out the marriage ceremony for my Caogen according to the rules. When he was still alive, I didn't let him live a good life. Now that he's gone, at least let him have a wife under the ground to wait on him."
