Chapter 294 He is to blame, not me
No one understood what she was saying.
Wang Qiuxia grasped the point: "Xiao He, what happened when you went to the county town last time?"
Jiang Xiaohe explained what had happened several times in front of everyone, and everyone finally understood.
"Zhang Daye, we are from the same village, but you are such a bad person when you go out!" Zeng Hua scolded.
Zhang Quan nodded in agreement: "That's right. If we look back a few generations, we are still from the same clan. How could you do such a heartless thing!"
Jiang Xiaohe looked at Zhang Daye lying on the ground and said directly: "Send him to the government office. We will do whatever the government office decides!"
Everyone looked at Zhang Daye and felt that he was wrong, but they sympathized more with the weak, no matter whether they were good or bad.
Someone in the crowd stood on Zhang Daye's side and spoke.
"Jiang Xiaohe, this isn't Zhang Daye's fault. It's so hard for us farmers to get ahead, and his boss used his family's name to threaten him, so he had no choice but to do this, otherwise you're leaving his family to die."
As soon as this was said, many people echoed: "That's right, Jiang Xiaohe, we are from the same village. If he is sent to the government office, his life will be over."
When Sun Yanhong heard that she was going to send him to the government office, she immediately panicked again: "Jiang Xiaohe, just think of it as our fault. Don't send my son to the government office."
Jiang Xiaohe sneered: "What do you mean, just consider it your fault?"
Sun Yanhong: .....
Jiang Xiaohe looked at her and said, "He made a mistake, so he should be punished accordingly. If you are not convinced, go and find someone from the government office to argue with him."
Zhang Shunchang had been lying on the ground for so long, and the ground was still very cold in spring, so he woke up after a while. He sneezed twice in a row, and then he heard Jiang Xiaohe say that she wanted to send Zhang Daye to the yamen.
He immediately became unwilling. If Zhang Daye was sent to the government, he would no longer be able to be the village chief.
"You can't send it to the government office!"
He squeezed in: "Xiao He, my son also made a mistake for a moment, please forgive him."
"A mistake? Village chief, if I'm not mistaken, your family had planned this today, didn't they? You pretended to treat everyone to a meal, and while everyone was having dinner at your house, he ran to my house to steal the recipe and the silver!"
Everyone suddenly realized why Sun Yanhong, who was usually stingy, was clamoring for a treat and even called it a birthday party for her husband. It turned out that she wanted to divert everyone's attention and make it easier for Zhang Daye to steal!
"Didn't he fail to steal?"
"What if he succeeds in stealing it?"
Zhang Shunchang stopped talking.
No one dared to say anything. If the theft succeeded, Jiang Xiaohe's business would be ruined.
"Ishikawa, take him to the government office."
Sun Yanhong stopped him, turned around and cried to Jiang Xiaohe, "Jiang Xiaohe, even if you succeed in stealing, you will only lose one prescription, but if you fail, our whole family will lose their lives."
Seeing her crying with tears streaming down her face, Jiang Xiaohe's heart didn't soften at all.
"What do your family's lives have to do with me? If you want to blame someone, blame your good son. He was the one who wanted to show off his achievements and went to others to take credit, saying that he knew me. Now that you have fallen into this situation, he should be blamed, not me!"
Sun Yanhong was unwilling and suddenly knelt down in front of Jiang Xiaohe: "Xiaohe, I beg you, please let my son go."
Everyone watching felt sympathy for her.
Someone was about to speak, but Zeng Hua stood in front of everyone and said, "Stop meddling in other people's business. Just watch the fun and stop chattering. You are the judge. When this person is sent to the government office, the officials will naturally decide who is right and who is wrong. You are not needed."
This immediately silenced the crowd.
Jiang Xiaohe said to Zhang Qingshan and Ishikawa, "You guys take him to the government office together."
Zhang Shunchang was about to fall down again, and this time there was no one to help him up. He fell straight to the ground. The floor of Jiang Xiaohe's house was all bluestone slabs, and blood immediately flowed from his head. Sun Yanhong could no longer pretend not to see it, and quickly asked the villagers to help carry him back, and also went to call a doctor.
After all this busy work, it was already past noon and the food in his yard had gotten cold. Everyone felt embarrassed to stay here to eat, so they helped and then turned around and went back home.
In the end, because of this incident, Zhang Shunchang lost his position as village chief. He and Sun Yanhong stayed at home and did not go out for half a month.
As for the so-called boss who wanted to silence the witnesses, in the end, no one actually went to his house to kill them.
When hearing the villagers talking about this, Jiang Xiaohe rolled her eyes. The Chamber of Commerce and Meng Hetang were fighting fiercely right now, so they had no mood to care about small fry like them.
Time flies in the blink of an eye. In summer, cicadas and birds are chirping everywhere. During these months, Jiang Xiaohe has been obedient and stayed in the town and at home. Except for occasionally inspecting the store, he spends the rest of his time busy looking at the account books.
That day, Manager Yu came to check with her the mushroom accounts for the entire winter and spring, and also distributed the profits. The mushrooms made a lot of money, and she got a lot.
Seeing that he worked diligently and efficiently, and had done nothing wrong, Jiang Xiaohe asked him, "Why don't you tell your boss to arrange for you to work for him in the county?"
Shopkeeper Yu laughed and said, "The boss asked me to go, but I didn't want to go."
This surprised her. People in the village wanted to go to the town, people in the town wanted to go to the county, people in the county wanted to go to the provincial capital, and people in the provincial capital wanted to go to Kyoto. Everyone wanted to move up.
Shopkeeper Yu smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's actually pretty good in town. In addition to taking care of the restaurant business, I also help take care of the mushroom business. At the end of last year, Boss Jiang, you invented greenhouse vegetables. I'm more responsible for that. The boss pays me well, and my life is very fulfilling every day."
Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said, "As long as I feel fulfilled."
Shopkeeper Yu nodded: "After all, I am a native of this town. I am very satisfied to be able to stay in this town, have such a job, and be with my wife and children, and take care of my parents."
Jiang Xiaohe nodded in agreement. Thinking that she had been looking for the manor for so long but had no luck, she asked him, "Does Shopkeeper Yu know anyone who wants to sell the manor?"
"Boss Jiang wants to buy the farm?"
Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "When there is extra money at home, I will think about buying something, otherwise it will be useless to keep the money here."
Shopkeeper Yu thought for a moment and said, "I'll find out for you later."
Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "Thank you very much, Manager Yu."
Shopkeeper Yu waved his hand, bowed and left.
On the way back, the waiter next to him said, "It's only been two years, and I didn't expect that the business of the humble Jiang lady has become so successful."
Shopkeeper Yu sighed, "That's right." Thinking back to the first time he met Jiang Xiaohe, she went to the restaurant to sell him snakes wearing patched clothes. She had to bargain with him even for one penny of silver. But now, she sells him thousands of taels of silver, and he makes a lot of money all day long.
He sighed and said, "This guy is so annoying. We deserve to die like that."
