HCB Chapter 432: A Plan in Mind
Chapter 432: A Plan in Mind
He squeezed to the front desperately, pulled He Xinglang's sleeve in a familiar tone, and looked him up and down with an uncomfortable look.
It's like looking at a piece of merchandise and asking how much it's worth.
When He Xinglang was in the capital, he was taught a lot by the Xia brothers, such as the ways of dealing with the world when traveling abroad and the ways of being an official in the capital.
You also need a pair of eyes to distinguish between good and bad.
Sensing the uncomfortable atmosphere, he calmly withdrew his hand and took a few steps back.
He just happened to be standing behind the Xia couple as a junior.
The hot man was unhappy, and he shouted, "Brother Lang has really become successful and doesn't want to pay attention to his uncle from home.
But it doesn’t matter. My uncle has a daughter who is fourteen years old and as beautiful as a flower. Why don’t Brother Lang just marry her?
This will strengthen our relationship, and it will be good for both you and me."
He looked so smug after he said that, it was really disgusting.
He Xianlang: ???
Marry? Marry what wife? He already has a wife and children.
If he had still cared about the friendship among the villagers just now, he would be completely angry now.
"This... I don't know you, please don't talk nonsense. I'm married and have children."
Then he heard this man brazenly say: "What's the use of marrying her? She's just an old lady. A woman who has given birth to a child is not as good as a virgin.
Lang Ge'er went back to the capital and retired immediately. As for the newborn boy, he was left at home to be raised.
When my daughter gives birth to a son for you, all the things of the He family will be inherited by my grandson.
Also, I heard that your eldest brother's restaurant is doing very good business and makes a lot of money every year.
Anyway, you can't spend it all, so just give it all to my grandson, and he will be filial to you when he grows up."
As he spoke more and more, this person felt that what he said made more and more sense, and he couldn't help but feel proud again.
Villager: !!!
I was surprised that he became more shameless. When Oda Village was not rich, this man was the poorest family in the village.
At that time, he looked very honest. He always smiled at everyone he met and looked innocent.
Many people in the village have a good impression of him.
did not expect······
Some elderly people couldn't stand it anymore and just took off their shoes and started to beat him up.
He beat him and cursed him at the same time, using many ugly words in the dialect.
[You little bastard, you want to bully Lang Ge'er's elders because he is no longer around, right? ]
[Don’t you see what kind of person you are? Without the kindness of the princess, would you be able to live the good life you have now? ]
[I'll beat you to death for not knowing how to live or die, and you still want her to divorce you and be known as a heartless person? ]
[Your stinky daughter is thicker than a bucket, has pockmarks all over her face, and is lazy and gluttonous at home.]
[He ate and slept on the kang all day long, and was raised like a fat pig.]
[From top to bottom, not even a toe is worthy of our Langge, you shameless thing, just give up on this idea. ]
[What the hell is this? You were really good at pretending before, otherwise I wouldn’t know that you are nothing. ]
The elderly men in the village would use their canes to beat those who spoke rudely.
The old women took their smelly shoes that hadn't been washed for a long time and slapped him on the sack.
The village head, who had just rolled up his sleeves, and other villagers stepped back and left the battlefield to them.
Only the one who was beaten was unwilling to accept it, and kept shouting: "After all, I am Langge's elder.
People say that we should respect our elders. My daughter has a big butt and is easy to give birth to. As long as she gets married, she will definitely be a boy.
She is much better than the eldest daughter in the capital. As an elder, I naturally make plans for the child.
This is all for his own good, why don't you appreciate it?"
He Xianlang: ·······
Finally I met someone who is more shameless than those civil and military officials in the court. It's really...
Villager: ·······
Her eyes were full of disgust, and she thought the man was disgusting.
The headman's face turned as dark as charcoal. He glanced at the crowd and frowned tightly.
He just realized that some people actually had this intention, and those calculating eyes made him feel very uncomfortable.
I thought of what my father told me before he left: money can move people's hearts, and if the villagers have too many ideas, I must not be soft-hearted.
In a cold tone, he said: “The court says that according to the law, it is against the law to destroy the marriage of officials and soldiers without reason.
In mild cases, the punishment would be fifty lashes of the cane, and in more serious cases, the offender would be exiled to the frontier and would never be able to return home.
Did you just say that you want Langge to marry your daughter? Anyone else who thinks so, please stand up now. "
Hearing the coldness in his voice, those who had schemes in mind silently took a step back, lowered their heads and dared not look him in the face.
Thinking of the benefits the He family has brought to the village, I felt inexplicably uneasy.
The man felt that the emperor was trying to scare him, and he refused to accept the result and shouted, "Impossible, the imperial court has no time to take care of other people's marriages.
I think the head of the village is worried that Lang Ge'er will fall in love with my daughter, and when she marries into the He family, you will no longer have the final say in the village.
Hehehe... The head of the village still has his own little thoughts."
These words made the headman's face turn red with anger, and he said angrily: "Nonsense, first of all, Langge is not a heartless and ungrateful person.
He is a very good child.
With your daughter's condition, no one in the surrounding village will like her and she will never be able to get married.
In other words, you keep saying that she is good, but in fact you think your daughter eats too much at home and want her to get married early. "
"No, you're talking nonsense."
The head of the village didn't want to argue with him over such a small matter, so he just used a big move.
“Today, I am putting this out here. If anyone has thoughts that they shouldn’t have, we will open the ancestral hall and drive them out of Oda Village.
You all must have a conscience and not curse your mothers while holding your job. People in Xiaotian Village must never lose their conscience.
If I find out that anyone is plotting against the He family, I will not take any of the income from the village in the future. I will just take it back and send it back to the capital, and they will all become the eldest princess’s.
Speak out first, and don't blame me for being ruthless and merciless when the time comes."
This was the first time he had spoken so harshly and been so angry since taking office.
This shocked many villagers at once, and the old man standing outside nodded with satisfaction.
He couldn't stop praising him, "This kid is getting better and better. You can vaguely see the shadow of the old village head in him.
As long as they can keep things clear, Oda Village will go further and further in the future and will never become a loose sand because of a single bad apple.
Indeed, in a few years, we old guys can die in peace.
When I get to the top, I can give an explanation to my ancestors when I see them.
I don’t know where the old head of the village sat down there, maybe he was sitting in the main seat.
I don’t know how proud I am now.”
The villagers repeatedly assured that they would never let anyone plot against the He family. If they found out, they would just beat the person to death without the need for the village head.
