The peasant woman quickly calculated that the entire village had been preparing for a mass exodus th

Chapter 38 The Old Colleague Who Was Watching the Show

Some people say, "You can't believe what a fool says. We can't wrong Lotus because of a fool."

"I'll fight you to the death! How dare you hit my daughter!"

Upon seeing this, Zhou grabbed Jiang's hair, and the two began to fight.

Jiang was tall and strong. Aside from being ambushed by Zhou at the beginning and having a tuft of her hair pulled out, she later pinned Zhou to the ground.

She sat on Zhou's shoulders, pressing down on Zhou so that he couldn't move.

Seeing that Zhou was losing power, Old Lady Sun immediately stepped forward to help: "You shrew, how dare you hit my daughter-in-law and granddaughter!"

Grandma Sun wanted to slap Jiang, but Jiang nimbly dodged it. So she could only grab Jiang's clothes and try to tear them off.

The scene became chaotic, and the crowd quickly stepped forward to separate the three people.

Finally, although Jiang's hair was a mess, her aura was still like that of a cock that had won a fight.

She pointed first at her own eyes with her index and middle fingers, then at Zhao Lianhua, and said threateningly, "Lianhua, I'll be watching you!"

After saying that, she left with Zhao Shengxiang.

Before leaving, Zhao Shengxiang looked at Zhao Lianhua with eyes full of anger and disgust.

She never expected Zhao Lianhua to be so wicked, actually ruining her reputation just to steal Yang Fengshou!

Not only did it ruin her reputation, it also damaged Peach Blossom Sister's.

At first, Zhao Shengxiang couldn't understand why Peach Blossom Sister, who hadn't even reached marriageable age and posed no threat to Zhao Lianhua, would be destroyed.

Later, she realized that Peach Blossom Sister had helped her clarify to everyone that the durian spirit had nothing to do with her, which caused Peach Blossom Sister to be resented by Zhao Lianhua.

Madam Qian also left with Zhao Taohua, leaving behind the words: "If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too!"

Before Zhao Taohua left, she noticed that everyone's expressions were different. Many people looked at Zhao Lianhua with curiosity, while some even looked at her with disdain.

Zhao Taohua sneered inwardly. Today, Zhao Lianhua's true character has finally been exposed. How dare she try to play tricks on her?

However, to her surprise, Zhao Shengjing's words not only confirmed that Zhao Lianhua harbored evil intentions, but also revealed that the person behind the fool was Zhao Lianhua!

"Hey, you vixen, who are you calling names!" Old Mrs. Sun said anxiously.

Only a small portion of the others thought Zhao Lianhua was misunderstood, while the majority thought Zhao Lianhua was genuinely evil, since Tao Hua had just been holding a long pole, not some wild fruit.

Zhao Shenglin grinned and said, "Sister Lotus, don't worry, even if you are truly wicked, I won't look down on you."

Zhao Lianhua felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this. It was because of his interruption that Jiang's anger, which had already subsided, suddenly flared up even more.

Upon hearing Zhao Shenglin's voice, Grandma Sun and Madam Zhou immediately shouted, "Get out of here!"

Lianhua is destined to marry into a good family, so how could she possibly have anything to do with a good-for-nothing like Zhao Shenglin who is idle and has no money?

Finally, not only Zhao Shenglin came out, but all the other villagers who had come to watch the commotion also came out.

Although Zhao Shenglin was kicked out, he still had a smile on his face.

Zhao Lianhua's reputation has already started to rot. If he continues to publicize it for a few more days, it will be completely ruined, and the person will be his.

Just thinking about it makes me happy!

As the other villagers left, they were also discussing the matter:

"Did the fool lie or not? Did Lotus really tell the fool to spread rumors about Xiangxiang, Peach Blossom, and Shenming?"

"Who knows? A fool is a fool!"

Zhao Shengjing pouted and said defiantly, "What my brother said must be true. Sister Lianhua is just mean-spirited!"

Whether others believe it or not, she believes her brother's words.

Besides, Sister Peach Blossom also said that only those with evil intentions can be tainted by evil spirits. If that long pole-like thing wasn't attracted by the evil intentions on Sister Lotus, then what was it for?

In short, Zhao Lianhua's image in the village has plummeted from today onwards.

Zhao Lianhua was annoyed that she had been manipulated by the argumentative person and had driven away the matchmaker, so she hurriedly asked Zhou to go and invite her again.

However, Zhou went three times but failed to bring the person back. Instead, the matchmaker's attitude towards her worsened each time.

"Shufen, I don't need to tell you what kind of character your Lianhua is; the Yang family already knows."

Not only the Yang family found out, but everyone in the surrounding villages knew about it.

She's an unmarried girl who instigated a fool to ruin someone else's reputation; no one in the surrounding villages would marry a girl like that.

After the matchmaker finished speaking, Zhou felt like the sky was about to fall.

Is her daughter, Lianhua, unable to get married?

Matchmaker You continued, "Moreover, because of Lianhua, the Zhang family said that if your Xiaofeng wants to get married, you have to add two taels of betrothal gifts, otherwise there's no point in talking about it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou swayed and almost fell over.

She was sitting, but her body seemed to have no support at all.

Add two more taels? That would make it a twelve taels betrothal gift.

Is Zhang Caixia made of gold?

Even if she is the most beautiful girl in Black Bull Village, she can't act like this.

……

When Zhao Taohua returned home with a long pole in her hand, the roof tiles had already been laid and everyone was building the courtyard wall.

"What did the peach blossoms and lotus flowers eat that got them tainted by the mountain spirits?"

Someone asked curiously.

Before Zhao Taohua could speak, Madam Qian began to scold:

"She didn't eat any wild fruit at all. She had bad intentions and got harassed by a troll."

Just then, everyone saw the long, black pole in Zhao Taohua's hand instantly transform into a burly man, as tall as two people, with a pair of curved horns on his head.

Everyone was shocked upon seeing this: "Is this what a contrarian is like?"

Tall and strong, someone joked, "If he had come earlier, he could have helped pass the tiles."

Zhao Taohua laughed and said, "Uncle Guangming, it's not too late now, let him move bricks!"

Looking at the jerk's incredibly strong and bulging muscles, Zhao Taohua decided that he would be in charge of chopping firewood for the family from now on.

If we have land in the future, we won't need oxen to plow the fields; we can use this instead!

The troll was used to being carefree in the mountains, but unexpectedly, he was defeated as soon as he possessed someone with evil energy.

"You nitpicker, go do some manual labor."

At Zhao Taohua's command, the argumentative man didn't move. How could a dignified monster who had cultivated for hundreds of years listen to a little girl like her?

So what if he's a Taoist master? He's still not convinced!

Just as Gang Jing was feeling unconvinced, two figures emerged from the thatched shed in the southwest corner of the courtyard.

The menstrual spirit was holding a needle and thread, while the durian spirit was holding a string bean. They were eating melon while keeping their work in mind.

The moment the trolls saw them, they were so shocked their eyes almost popped out.

Were they also captured by this little Taoist master?

He hadn't sensed their presence before, so it seems they, like him, had had their cultivation sealed by this little celestial master.

With two companions in the hands of the little celestial master, Gang Xin suddenly felt much more comfortable.

He moved bricks in the direction Zhao Taohua pointed, and he could move several times more bricks than others at once.

With the help of the trolls, the Zhao family's courtyard wall was completed 25 minutes ahead of schedule, before dark.

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, rows of neatly arranged blue bricks and tiles gleam with a solid sheen.

Everyone looked at the Zhao family's new house with amazement and envy.

"This magnificent house with its blue bricks and tiles is one of the best in our village. Look at these bricks, they're laid perfectly together!"
