Chapter 61 Guessing the truth
“I suspected that it was Ma Yuan’s successor, Sang, who asked the Sang family to secretly kill Ma Xingteng. I didn’t expect that Ma Xingteng didn’t die like this, and even made the matter worse. Sang must be She was worried that the Sang family would betray her, so she married her daughter to Sang Rong, right? "
If Sang had intended to marry her daughter to her natal nephew, there would have been no such thing as Sang Rong asking to marry Su Yan! The only explanation is that Mrs. Sang despises her nephew and has never thought of marrying her nephew. She must be forced to marry her daughter to her nephew now.
The thing that made Sang make such a big sacrifice was definitely not a trivial matter. It was most likely related to Ma Xingteng's injury.
Shen Yi marveled at his fiancée's intelligence, touched her head lovingly, and warned: "Whether it is the Sang family or the Ma family, it has nothing to do with us. Town official Liu is a smart man, and his wife and Ma Xingteng are not either. Fool, if you can think of it, they might have already thought of it.
It's just that all this is speculation. Without evidence, they can't do anything to the Sang people. In addition, Ma Xingteng lost a leg, but the Sang family has a healthy son. Ma Yuanwai can't do anything for a disabled son. To destroy another son.
After hearing that the marriage between the Ma family and the Sang family was settled, Ma Yuanwai never went to Liu Zhenguan's house to make a fuss about asking him to catch the murderer, but Ma Yuanwai also had the confidence in his heart and made his choice. "
Su Tai shook her head. It was not worth it to be excited for Ma. "They say that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. All the words about each other's vows are bullshit!"
Shen Yi looked stern and quickly expressed his stance, "Sister Xiao Tai, I am different from them! What Ma Yuanwai did has completely chilled the heart of the eldest son and eldest daughter. The Ma family will only be more chaotic in the future. We can't be as confused as him. ”
Su Tai's expression softened a little.
The two of them bought a lot of things for getting married at a big market before going to their respective homes.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the annual autumn harvest.
The weather in Zhaohua County is going well this year, and the county magistrate is also very motivated. He ordered the government officials to inform him early.
When the first gong of the autumn harvest was sounded, the villagers of Dongmen Village waved their sickles and worked in the fields without raising their heads.
Su Tai didn't know how to use a sickle, so she could only help behind the adults. It took four days in a row to get all the wheat in the field to dry in her yard.
The Yamen Chai has been living in the village for the past few days, watching the villagers collect grain without daring to slack off at all.
Su Tai's family was not idle when drying the wheat. They still had soybeans and peanuts to harvest.
When the soybeans and peanuts are harvested, the wheat is almost ready to be bagged and weighed.
Su Chunlin harvested 8,000 kilograms of wheat from eight acres of wheat. Other families in the village were similar to theirs, with yields of around 900 to 1,000 kilograms per mu. This yield really shocked the two government officials.
They also sent the news back to the county government as soon as possible. The county magistrate Liang Shiqiu personally sent a group of people to check it out. After receiving the news, they were followed by Ma Yuanwai and the heads of several other townships.
As soon as the group entered the village, they were surprised by the wheat drying in the yards of every household.
Ma Yuanwai looked at so much grain and was heartbroken. He suggested to Liang Shiqiu: "Sir, the grassroots believe that the grain in Dongmen Village should be handed over uniformly and distributed as grain."
Sang Yong immediately agreed, "The common people think so too. Mayor Su, don't you like to do this kind of good thing that benefits the people the most? I guess you should have no objection!"
Others looked at Su Changfu expectantly.
Su Changfu sneered and said with an indifferent expression, "Head Sang is joking. I am the head of the town and I am not a bandit. I can't do anything like that. The things that belong to the people are naturally decided by the people themselves."
Sang Yong's face darkened and he said angrily: "I'm just giving you advice. If Mayor Su doesn't want to listen, that's all. There's no need to misinterpret my good intentions."
"Your good intentions? What are your good intentions? I think you have bad intentions."
"you!"
The two were at war with each other. Liang Shiqiu frowned.
Liu Tiechui immediately scolded, "Enough! Why are you arguing? You are the only one who has too much to do!"
Liu Tiechui glared at Sang Yong.
Sang Yong's face turned red and he was angry.
Everyone came to Su Changxi's house.
Su Changxi respectfully invited Liang Shiqiu in, but blocked Sang Yong from outside.
Sang Yong squeezed in twice and failed, so he got angry and said, "Su Changxi, what do you mean?"
Su Changxi said nonchalantly: "Our family doesn't welcome people named Sang. If you are sensible, go back to where you came from!"
Ma Yuanwai narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Changxi, "The Sang family is the in-laws of our Ma family. Can Village Chief Su give me a favor?"
"No!" Su Changxi said impatiently without even looking at Ma Yuanwai: "If Ma Yuanwai wants to stand up for Sang Yong, then please go with him."
Ma Yuanwai's eyes widened in disbelief, thinking that he was also a well-respected Yuanwai in the town. Who wouldn't nod and bow when they saw him? Su Changxi is just a little village chief, but he dares to talk to him like this!
Just when the horseman was about to get angry.
Su Chunlin, who was standing next to Su Changxi, suddenly spoke with a look of disgust on his face: "There is a nest of snakes and rats in the Sang family, and no one is good. I don't know what Yuan Ma wants to marry his daughter to Sang Rong? Is it possible that there is no good thing in the world?" The men are all dead, or is there some hidden problem with Miss Ma that she can’t find a good family?”
The horseman's expression suddenly changed, and he was filled with shock and anger, "You bastard! He's just a little mud-legged guy, but he dares to chew on the rights and wrongs of our Ma family. I think you're tired of living! Believe it or not, I'll find someone to kill you!"
"Horse wealth!" Liang Shiqiu scolded seriously.
Ma Rencai woke up from a dream, his face turned blue and white, and he looked really good-looking. He thought that Liu Tiechui would speak for him no matter what, but he didn't expect that Liu Tiechui acted like he didn't care about anything.
The horseman's heart sank, he shook his teeth, and left angrily.
Sang Yong was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly caught up, "Brother-in-law, are we leaving like this? No more grain?"
"What do you want? You can't even get in, so why do you think they will sell grain to you?" Ma Yuanwai roared angrily.
Sang Yong looked unwilling, "Aren't you the father-in-law of the town official? The county magistrate is also here, we can't really let Su Changxi do whatever he wants! That's a grain crop with a yield of one thousand kilograms per mu, we can't just give up!"
Of course Ma Yuanwai didn't want to give up, nor was he willing to give up, but the county magistrate was obviously angry after the incident just now. If he went back again, he would first be looked down upon by the Su family, and secondly, he would be disgusted by the county magistrate, and his son-in-law It was obvious that he really didn't intend to maintain face anymore, and he couldn't get any benefit at all.
After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and left Dongmen Village without looking back.
Sang Yong thought for a while and went to a farmhouse to buy grain at a high price.
The other party was stunned for a moment and shouted at the top of his lungs, "You have to buy grain before paying taxes. Which village are you from? I have to tell the mayor!"
This is obviously a bad intention.
Sang Yong did not expect that the villagers of Dongmen Village were so stupid that they would remain unmoved by the huge interests in front of them and run away.
