Chapter 57 What do you know about fun
"Who knows if he will feel resentful after escaping and take a desperate risk to burn down our village?"
Jiang Anning's words exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.
"None of us have treated him badly, right? It was because of his own misconduct that he was sued to the Yamen by An Ning. Why should he resent us!"
Some people were indignant and looked at Jiang Anning with dissatisfaction.
"Then if Zhao Hai really sets fire to someone's house, someone has to bear the responsibility."
Everyone was talking to each other, and in their words they vaguely wanted Jiang Anning to take responsibility.
Jiang Wei: "Things haven't reached that point yet, so stop saying things that are not conducive to unity."
"I called you here because I just wanted to talk to you about this matter. Putting aside the five hundred taels of reward money, we all have an idea of Zhao Hai's escape from prison, so that we won't be suddenly sneaked in when we look back. I was hurt when I returned to the village, so I had to deal with it when I met someone.”
"Not to mention this person, he really has the courage to do anything!"
"It's just that I'm worried that there are deliberate schemes but not intentional ones, so I organized everyone to be more vigilant."
"Where have you all been thinking about?"
Jiang Wei's words awakened the sanity of many people.
It happened that Jiang Genshan, a man from Aunt Fang's family, came back with a cart that had been slaughtered.
"Come here and help me, this pig is so heavy. I'm exhausted."
Everyone's attention was immediately attracted by a whole slaughtered pig. Everyone was happy, as if they were celebrating the New Year.
Looking at the bright red pork with white top and alternate fat, those who originally had some objections to Jiang Anning immediately put on a smile: "Girl Anning, can I help you cut the meat?"
Looking at the middle-aged man who was about the same age as Zhao Yuanshan, he rubbed his hands with a smile: "In the past, I was the one who helped cut the meat for sacrifices in the village. You see..."
Jiang Anning looked at the person for a long time before she managed to identify the face that was already unfamiliar to her from her vague memory.
She smiled slightly: "Then I'll trouble Uncle Thirteen."
After saying that, he looked around at the people who were also looking forward to it: "I invite you all to come to my house for dinner today, mainly to thank you for coming to support me when Zhao Yuanshan and Zhang came to threaten me."
Jiang Anning stood in front of the crowd and bowed solemnly.
Then she said with some embarrassment: "But I'm afraid I can't prepare a table for so many people by myself. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble all the aunts and sisters-in-law to help with the cooking, and the uncles will also help set up two temporary pots." The stove will do.”
"You're welcome, aren't you? We're all here, who else is here to watch?"
"That's right!"
Everyone in the crowd was talking happily.
Today is really thanks to girl An Ning.
With such a big pig, even if one person can share the meat with two chopsticks, he will be old and young!
"Then I'm welcome."
Jiang Anning changed her tune in a good-natured way: "In that case, if any of you guys have any specialties, you might as well show them off, so that we can have a feast, okay!"
"Okay, my shop makes delicious fried crispy pork. I've been thinking about it for a long time."
Before the words could even be heard, the speaker screamed in pain: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, please be gentle, my ears, my ears are about to fall off!"
After finally saving his ears from his wife, he argued in a low voice: "Don't I want to lose face? In front of so many people..."
As a result, he was glared at and immediately became silent.
Everyone burst into laughter and said that the man was a rake.
"Go, go, go, what do you know? I love her, so I respect her, but I'm not really afraid of her!"
The man puffed up his chest, blowing his beard and staring: "What do you know, you are not interesting."
All he got in return was greater laughter from the crowd.
The man's wife blushed, twisted his ears and hid in the kitchen of Jiang Anning's house.
Everyone laughed even more joyfully.
Jiang Anning couldn't help but be infected by this joy.
If you put aside the grudges from the past life...
Forget it, I can’t put it away at all.
Jiang Anning's eyebrows darkened for a moment, then in a corner where no one was paying attention, she squeezed the palm of her hand hard, then put on a smile again and started laughing with everyone.
She thought she hid it well, but she didn't guard against someone staring at her all the time.
Jiang Wei raised his eyebrows slightly.
He found that Jiang Anning's mood had been extremely ups and downs recently.
It seems that she is not the same person as the cheerful, optimistic and hard-working little girl before.
Jiang Wei's inner exploration became more intense.
What happened that he didn't know about?
He didn't believe that a person's temperament would change drastically for no reason.
"Hey, maybe Muramasa is interested in our peace, right?"
Suddenly someone shouted at the top of their lungs: "Everyone, come and take a look. The way our village leader looks at An Ning is so full of love and affection that his hair is dripping. Hahahaha..."
After the man finished speaking, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
Jiang Wei frowned, his displeasure disappearing in an instant.
When everyone looked at him, Xunsi put on an innocent and shy smile, like a young man who was just starting to fall in love.
"My heart is indeed peaceful, sister."
As if he had been guessed, he lowered his head in embarrassment.
“Oh~~~”
After hearing the words, everyone immediately started to cheer and set up rice paddies, which heightened the atmosphere.
Some people even said: "It happens that the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. It's better to choose a date than to hit it. Everyone knows the details, so we might as well make a marriage decision!"
Jiang Anning stared at Jiang Wei with wide eyes, full of disbelief.
This man must be sick!
Jiang Wei lowered his head and sighed sadly: "If Sister An Ning is willing, I will certainly not refuse."
He raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Anning with an affectionate expression: "I have been in love with my sister An Ning for a long time. I just look forward to marrying her home and pampering her. I will definitely not cause you any more worries for the rest of my life."
Jiang Anning:......
When everyone heard this, the booing got even louder, and they couldn't see Jiang Anning's unreadable face.
Jiang Wei saw it.
He looked slightly embarrassed and apologetic: "But Sister An Ning probably doesn't like me. I'm sorry, I was rude."
It would have been better if he hadn't said these words. Everyone would have made a few boos and talked and laughed with the mentality of watching the fun, and maybe the revelation would have been over. At this moment, everyone wishes they could all turn into matchmakers and bring two people together.
It seems like this is the completion of a great meritorious deed.
"An Ning, do you have any other ideas? Our Muramasa is such a handsome young man. He is also familiar with the county magistrate. If you marry him, will you still suffer a loss?"
"That's right! Isn't Jiang Wei much better than that bastard Zhao Hai? I just said that I will treat you well for the rest of my life. What else do you have to be unhappy with?"
"The most important thing for us women in this life is to have a family and a caring man who can help you with things and take care of you."
"Marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat, I think Muramasa is good."
Even the older elders began to join the persuasion team at this time. They took Jiang Anning's hand and persuaded her very earnestly: "We know that you are capable and have seen the world outside. But no one should ever forget his origins and where his roots are. ”
"The bamboo gate is against the bamboo gate, and the red gate is against the red gate. You can't set your sights high just because you see the colorful and colorful things outside."
"No, what our ancestors said still makes sense. Only when you are in the right family can you survive in the long run. If you are not in the right family, you will be the one who suffers in the end!"
The words these people said to each other completely calmed Jiang Anning's originally troubled heart.
She originally thought that in her previous life, she was a member of the Zhao Hai family and was too good at pretending in front of others.
The people in the village didn't know the inside story and only saw the surface. They thought that the Zhao family was very kind to her. Out of the desire to persuade her to make peace but not to leave, they kindly persuaded her to "bear it for a while" and then "bear it for a while". '...if you bear with it a little longer, you will be able to get through life.
Now listening to these people's words of persuasion in the tone of 'it's all for your own good', she suddenly felt that it was like a joke to waver in her desire to forgive before.
These people...
Even if it is really unintentional to add insult to injury, it is not worthy of forgiveness at all!
Jiang Anning lowered her eyes, pinched her palms hard, took a deep breath, and suppressed the hatred surging in her eyes.
She originally thought that she might be able to mobilize the villagers to plant mulberry and raise silkworms.
There is not much land in the village, and the harvest is poor. Even in good years, they can barely have enough food and clothing.
It is almost impossible to make a fortune by growing food.
But the mulberry trees grow very well here...
If it is used to plant mulberry trees and specialize in raising silkworms and reeling silk, it can be regarded as a viable business.
Now, she doesn't think about it at all.
What does the poverty and life and death of these people have to do with her?
Even if she wants to plant mulberry trees, raise silkworms and reel silk, she can do it herself!
Everyone looked at her and said nothing for a long time, thinking that she had bad ideas, so they tried to persuade her even more.
The noise between you and me makes people's ears hurt.
Even Jiang Wei, one of the parties involved, was a little upset after hearing this.
The market woman really has a long tongue.
Jiang Wei suppressed the impatience in his heart and looked at Jiang Anning intently, trying his best to appear affectionate, as if he was really half-hearted.
Faced with Jiang Anning being surrounded and brainwashed by everyone, he did not come forward to speak for him at all. His actions and ideas to rescue people were like someone who was watching the fire from the other side, waiting to reap the benefits.
Jiang Anning: "Don't try to persuade me any more. I have no plans to get married for the time being."
As soon as she said this, the crowd that had been trying so hard to persuade just now seemed to explode.
"What do you want to do without getting married?"
"An Ning, you are not young anymore. It's time to worry more about your marriage."
"Zhao Hai is a bastard. It's a pity to call off this marriage, but you must not be bitten by a snake once and fear the rope for ten years!"
"This kid is talking nonsense, isn't he? How can anyone be unmarried..."
Wuwu Zhazha's persuasion became more and more intense. Jiang Wei was standing aside, already having a headache and irritation just listening to it.
Not to mention Jiang Anning, the person who is being persuaded.
Jiang Anning let out a breath and said patiently: "I just have no plans to get married for the time being. Auntie, you don't need to persuade me anymore."
Her eyes were unwavering: "I just broke off my engagement with Zhao Hai, and I shouldn't talk about marriage again so early. Please stop trying to persuade me."
I thought that for the sake of saying this, sensible people should stop trying to persuade me.
Unexpectedly, not only did everyone not give up, but they felt the need to persuade Jiang Anning.
"You kid, are you really stupid? It's not like Zhao Hai is dead, so why do you need someone like you, who has never married and even canceled the marriage, to be a widow for him?"
"Is that what you are saying? Don't say that others are not dead. Even if they are really dead, you don't need to keep the rules here!"
"Have you forgotten that you broke off the engagement with someone and were not a widower to watch over someone else's body? Since the marriage has been called off, for the sake of life-long matters, you should also meet the other person as soon as possible and get married as soon as you find the right one. If you are married, why should you avoid this? ”
Jiang Anning:......
There's no getting around the matter of getting married, right?
She originally had no objection to getting married.
Since she came back from rebirth, all she has thought about is revenge, to make life difficult for all those who harmed her in her previous life...
When it comes to getting married, I just let nature take its course, not thinking about it, and not rejecting it too much.
Now, these people's tireless persuasion had somewhat aroused her rebellious spirit.
Is it difficult for her to get married?
A flash of confusion flashed across Jiang Anning's eyes, and she was still at a loss.
The voices of persuasion in his ears were still noisy, and Jiang Wei finally couldn't bear to listen anymore.
"All the aunts have good intentions. Sister An Ning and I both know that. I just ask you not to force Sister An Ning anymore. She must not have come out of the shadow of that bastard Zhao Hai yet, and it will probably take some time. , face the matter of marriage again.”
Jiang Wei cupped his hands with others: "I am willing to wait for the day when sister An Ning opens her heart again. Even if the person she chooses in the end is not me, I am willing to be the one who protects the flowers."
He looked at Jiang Anning with as much affection as his eyes: "I would be happy to protect her for the rest of my life."
The woman who first took the lead in persuading Jiang Anning had a smile on her face: "Hey, An Ning, look at how good Jiang Wei is to you. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Jiang Anning raised her eyebrows slightly. She really didn't know where the so-called kindness to her came from and what the criterion was.
If it was better to rescue her... then wasn't the predicament at this time originally brought about by him?
Jiang Wei was actually a little speechless.
He originally just wanted to stop the ridiculous and noisy persuasion, but he didn't expect that these people would become more and more enthusiastic.
However, when he thought that these people were praising him and coaxing Jiang Anning to obey him honestly, he didn't rush to stop him.
If these people could really persuade Jiang Anning to obey him, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
Zuo is just giving someone the status of concubine, which is harmless.
It was convenient for him. He had a legitimate reason to change his name and put the person under his nose.
The more Jiang Wei thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was a good one.
If Jiang Anning voluntarily entered his backyard, if the person behind the scenes still wanted to contact him, could he still hide under his nose?
