The rumors in the village did not fade as time passed, as the village chief initially imagined, but intensified, and people came to visit his house more frequently.
If everyone doesn't talk about this, it's fine. Once they talk about it, it will be out of control. Everyone will blame their bad luck on He Ling, so as to find some comfort for their hearts.
Some people even blame him for the poor harvest in the fields this year, instead of reflecting on whether they have not taken good care of the crops themselves.
"What the hell are these people thinking? All trivial things will be detained on you!" Xu Hua was very annoyed, because he was close to He Ling, and this matter was rarely mentioned in front of him, and he also accidentally It was only after hearing other people's conversations that I knew that the matter was so serious, and I came to their house immediately.
Qi Yue's face was cold and he didn't speak. He had been by A Ling's side these days, and he didn't care much about the village's affairs. Someone was smearing his little husband and planning to drive them away!
"Okay, don't get mad at yourself." The calmest among the three was He Ling, who poured Xu Hua a glass of water and said, "I've been called a disaster since I was a child, and I'm used to it. "
Xu Hua took a sip of the water he handed over, suppressing the anger in his heart, "One by one, I don't look for problems in myself, I believe in those unreliable ones, and someone has laid two eggs less from the chickens at home. It's ridiculous to talk to you all about it!"
He Ling saw that he put the cup on the table heavily and looked angrily. He couldn't help laughing out loud, "You're saying it's absurd.
Seeing him not only not angry, but laughing instead, Xu Hua felt a little helpless, but those people were scolding him and wanted to drive him out of the village, did he take his words to heart!
"I don't think this is a coincidence!" Qi Yue, who didn't speak for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth with a blank expression, "It must be a rumor spread by someone behind the scenes."
If it weren't for this, how could the good rumors start, and now it's the autumn harvest, and no one has the time to talk about these things.
"You mean, someone is deliberately targeting Brother Ling?" Xu Hua immediately understood what he meant and thought it made some sense.
He Ling was also stunned. He hadn't thought about it. There were many people who hated him in the village, but they were the only ones who wanted to drive him away. "He's family?"
"No!" Qi Yue retorted unexpectedly, "The old, weak, sick and disabled in their family have no guts to provoke us now!"
In fact, there is a person in his heart, and only he is the most likely. If that person really did it, he doesn't even need to take revenge. Anyway, sooner or later he will...
While the three were talking, Feng Zheng came to the door and said that several families in the village were blocking their house, and the village chief had to make a decision and drive them out of the village! The village chief was so annoyed that he had no choice but to ask his son to come to them and talk about it.
He Ling was still pregnant with the child, Qi Yue didn't want him to go to such a messy place, so he asked Xu Hua to accompany him, and went with Feng Zheng himself.
When he arrived at the village chief's house, the people in the house saw him with different expressions, some embarrassed, some guilty, and some obviously unwilling to see him. Most of these people were older, and there were also a few young men.
"Boy Qi, you're here!" The village chief greeted him when he saw him. He was also annoyed, so he planned to find him, and everyone talked about the matter openly.
Qi Yue nodded his head at him, looked around at those people, raised his lips and smiled gracefully, "I heard that you have been paying attention to the husband who is under you recently, don't you mind talking to him? ?"
His incomparable demeanor calmed people down for a while, and the room was silent for a while, before an old man coughed dryly and said, "As the saying goes, it is better to believe what is there, not what it is not, those words. It sounds ridiculous, but it's not completely unreasonable!"
"That's right, the disasters in the He family in recent days are indeed inexplicable, and we all see it in our eyes!" Another person also answered with a look of conclusive evidence.
"And the little tiger from the Lin family. What a good child. Uncle and auntie's mouths are very sweet on weekdays. Why did they suddenly fight with someone and suffered such serious injuries!"
"Isn't it, these are all related to him!"
Once someone starts, those people will have less scruples, and they gossip as if what they say is the truth, not some hearsay.
Qi Yue kept listening to them with a smile on his face, until the room gradually became quiet, and he said, "What you said, it sounds like my husband has nothing to do with me, so I just put the crime on him like this. , is too far-fetched.”
"Hmph, he's your husband, so of course you speak for him!" A middle-aged man said with a cold snort, "Our family's harvest was good in previous years, but this year, when he has a good life, he will be much worse off. , he must have been blessed by him!"
This year, his family's harvest has lost a lot, and he is extremely suffocated. It happened that there were rumors in the village, and he immediately felt that it must be the other party's fault, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence!
Qi Yue turned his eyes to him, saw the resentment on his face, raised his eyebrows and said, "This eldest brother is joking, whether the crops are growing well or not is a matter of daily care, and it's a matter of blaming others for this kind of thing. meaningless."
When he said this, it seemed like he was making trouble unreasonably. The man said angrily, "Don't clear the relationship here. You have never planted crops before, but the food in the fields grows well!"
He had seen the crops in the other's field. The wheat ears were extremely dense and full, which made him very jealous. How could a person who has been farming for the first time grow such good grain!
"Although I have never planted land, I am a doctor. I take care of herbs all year round, and I still have some experience in tending plants." Compared with his excitement, Qi Yue was very calm.
The man was speechless after being blocked by him. He felt that he had lost face, and was even more angry, "I can't say anything about you scholars, but these things must have nothing to do with He Ling. For the sake of everyone, you should move from the village as soon as possible. Go out and pay for our losses!"
As soon as he said this, Qi Yue sneered and said so grandly, but he just wanted to take advantage of this to beat the autumn wind, "You charge my husband some trumped-up charges, I haven't asked you to settle the account yet, you guys It's a slap in the face!"
He suddenly changed his face, causing everyone present to be stunned for a moment. He was used to seeing his gentle and reasonable appearance on weekdays, but when he suddenly looked at him like this, he was a little shocked.
The head of the village sighed, this matter itself is that they made trouble without reason, and insisted on relying on others. If this time it is really impossible to end, it is their own fault.
"I will come here today, not to listen to you pouring dirty water on my husband, but to tell you that I have never liked to cause trouble, but if someone finds trouble on my head, I will not let it go! "Qi Yue crossed his hands, his eyes swept across the faces of each of them.
Everyone's faces are hard to look at, no matter where they are in their seniority, being taught by a junior like this, they will naturally lose face, and the old man who spoke first said: "Qi Yue, don't talk too much, sit here. They are older than you!"
"I have always only respected elders who are sensible, like the village chief." Qi Yue gave him a hand, and the other party nodded at him, "As for those who rely on the old and sell the old, let's forget it."
"You..." The old man was choked with anger by him, clutching his chest and breathing smoothly.
His words included all the people present here, didn't he mean that they used their age to oppress the younger generation, and didn't take them seriously at all.
"We don't welcome a disrespectful person like you in our village!" The previous man pointed at him and shouted, "Hurry up and get out of Gushui Village!"
Qi Yue narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, "I wonder if this person knows anyone in Shangzhuang Village?"
What he said was inexplicable, and everyone didn't understand it, but the man suddenly changed his face and said, "I... I don't know what you're talking about, I've always lived in Gushui Village, how could I know Shangzhuang Village? people!"
Qi Yue didn't care about his excuses at all, and asked again, "How much benefit did he give you to let you speak ill of my husband?"
The man's expression became even more flustered, his eyes were dodging and he didn't dare to look directly at him. Sweat broke out on his forehead in a short while, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
His guilty reaction surprised everyone present. What does this mean? Is there anything else in the relationship
The village chief understood, this person has been targeting Qi Yue, and his feelings are for the benefit of others. When he thinks about the Shangzhuang Village he said, he also thinks of a person, "Is what Qi Xiaozi said true?"
"He... he said nonsense, I didn't!" The man was obviously panicked, but he still refused to admit it.
But at this moment, there is no one who believes what he said. His expression has been completely exposed, and many people can't help but recall in their hearts, this person has indeed been whispering in their ears several times, and the poor harvest of his family's crops was caused by He Ling. They robbed them of their luck, and said that the unfortunate things that happened recently in their family might have something to do with each other!
Seeing that everyone's eyes were starting to look bad, the man was also a little scared, and said quickly: "Not only did I receive the benefits, I just helped out, I didn't spread the words!"
When he admitted this, everyone's faces changed again, and they looked at Qi Yue with embarrassment. It was obvious that someone was targeting them, and they were all taken advantage of!
"Who is the person who gave you the money?" The village chief was obviously more concerned about this issue and asked first.
The man shook his head and said, "It's an unknown kid, I only know that he is from Shangzhuang Village."
His answer was expected by Qi Yue, the other party has learned a lot now, and naturally he will not do this kind of thing in person, it would be strange if he knew!
But these are not important, anyway, he knows in his heart that these people only need to let them know that someone is behind the scenes, and the rest doesn't matter.
Seeing their embarrassed expressions, Qi Yue smiled and cupped his hands at them, saying, "Just now, in order to find out the person who sent the message, I offended you a little bit with words, the younger generation will not apologize here, and I hope you forgive me. ."
He took the initiative to give the steps, and there was no reason why they couldn't go down. Naturally, they quickly waved their hands and said it was excusable, and they could understand it, so he didn't need to take it to heart.
After a few polite words to each other, Qi Yue's expression turned a little sentimental, and said, "Because of these rumors recently, A Ling's mood is very bad, he can't eat, and he is still pregnant, I am really worried, if it is possible , everyone in the village, please help explain a thing or two, don't let him be so sad."
Seeing him like this, the guilt in their hearts is even greater. It is really shameful for them to arrange a brother who has a child like this.
It was only natural for him to have such a request. Everyone agreed, and the matter was over here. They had no face to wait any longer, so they all said goodbye and left. The man also sneaked away, Qi Yue ignored it, anyway. In the future, he will not be so comfortable in the village.
"What a farce!" The family finally calmed down, and the village chief was relieved. He tentatively said, "The person who sent the message..."
Seeing him mention this, Qi Yue knew that he also had guesses in his heart, "The village chief doesn't need to worry, I know what I know, and I will handle it myself."
It's just some contrived tricks, do you really think you can hide it from the sky? It's really naive, but it's impossible to think that he is the idiots of the He family!
