As a result, the development of things ran counter to Zou's and Ye Qingqing's plans.
Not to mention that Xiao Mu was not at home, Xu Zhengxiang was also a tough guy who didn't want to eat anything soft or hard.
Even Ye Luoxin now dares to point fingers in front of the two of them.
The most irritating thing is that Ye Dacheng has failed to achieve much and has failed more than he should, so when he was asked to help win over the Xiao family, he opened his mouth to ask Xu Zhengxiang for money.
This time he interfered, it was completely out of the question.
However, Zou thought: Even if Ye Qingqing was out of luck, she didn't want Ye Luoxin to continue to enjoy this blessing here. She wanted to take Ye Luoxin back and teach her a lesson.
That's why she said what she just said: Even if we want to leave, we have to take Ye Luoxin with us.
"This is my daughter-in-law. You took her away just when you asked her to! Who do you think you are?"
Xu Zhengxiang shook off Xiao Changhe's hand, turned around and used the spoon in his hand to bleed Zou's nose.
"The Xiao family is going to kill someone! The Xiao family is going to kill someone!" Zou shouted.
"Kill to pay for life, debt to pay for money, if the Xiao family doesn't give us an explanation today, we won't leave!" Ye Dacheng also stood at the door with his hands on his hips.
"You, the Ye family, have gone too far to bully others!" Yang Feng was furious.
When the villagers saw this, they all complained about the Xiao family.
"I said, what's going on with your Ye family? You've obviously sold the girl, and yet you still come to make trouble. It's so shameless."
"That's it, don't bully the people in our village who are ignorant. If you dare to go to a wealthy family and make such a fuss, I'll see if they don't send you to the Yamen and lock you up!"
"Since you don't want to leave, then stay here and guard the door of my house!"
Xiao Changhe didn't want to pay attention to them, and wanted everyone in his family to go back and close the door.
How could Ye Dacheng let them go back? Taking advantage of the Xiao family's unpreparedness, he slipped across the Xiao Changhe River and stood at the gate of the Xiao family: "In-laws, don't leave. My mother-in-law and daughter were both beaten today. This time We have to discuss the matter carefully."
"I have nothing to say to you. If you dare to disturb my family again, I will have no choice but to serve you with my fists."
Ye Dacheng was used to being a ruffian and was not afraid of this attitude at all.
Hearing Ye Dacheng say that he wanted to serve with his fists, he winked at his two followers, and the two men suddenly came up from both sides, preparing to sneak attack Xiao Changhe.
Xiao Song, with his sharp eyesight and quick hands, rushed forward immediately and reminded Xiao Changhe: "Dad, be careful!"
Ye Luoxin never expected that Ye Dacheng's family would be so shameless.
I thought I had gotten rid of them, but I didn't expect they would come again.
"The Ye family and I have severed ties a long time ago. If you continue to entangle us, we will have no choice but to file a lawsuit!"
"If you report it to the official, report it to the official. Anyway, it is my Ye family that is being beaten now. I want to see how the county magistrate will punish me."
As soon as Ye Dacheng finished speaking about Cao Cao's arrival, a carriage appeared at the entrance of the village and drove towards the Xiao family.
Just as the car stopped, County Magistrate Liu Mian got out of the car.
The previous two times the county magistrate came, he was wearing civilian clothes, but this time, for some reason, he was wearing brand new official uniforms.
The villagers were all worried.
Liu Mian frowned when he saw that the door of Xiao's house was full of people.
"What are you doing?" he said with a cold face.
Although the villagers had seen the county magistrate, they were still very afraid.
Therefore, when the county magistrate opened his mouth to ask questions, none of them dared to speak out.
"The county magistrate came just in time. Some scoundrels came to my house to cause trouble." Ye Luoxin said.
Ye Dacheng also said quickly: "Sir, please make the decision for the common people! The Xiao family hurt people for no reason and beat three of our family. I hope you can seek justice for us."
Liu Mian glanced at Ye Dacheng and the others, then saw the other two people standing behind them, and said to his subordinates: "Come here, tie up the five of them and take them aside."
"Sir, you have arrested the wrong person! We are the ones being beaten!" Ye Dacheng shouted repeatedly.
"Gag their mouths."
"Yes!" His men immediately stepped forward.
"Sir, we were wronged, big...wuwuwuwu!"
Ye Dacheng finally lost his voice.
Liu Mian then turned around and took a carved box from his master.
The box opened and inside was a bright yellow scroll.
"Cough! Cough!"
Liu Mian cleared his throat and opened the scroll.
"The imperial edict has arrived! The Xiao family kneels down to receive the edict!" Liu Mian shouted.
Upon hearing this, everyone present was dumbfounded.
Did they hear it correctly? Imperial decree? Is it the emperor's imperial edict?
How could the imperial edict be sent to their small village?
Although the Xiao family had heard rumors before that the imperial court was going to give a reward, they never expected that the emperor would personally give the edict.
thump! thump!
When the Xiao family faced Magistrate Liu, they all knelt down.
Ye Luoxin knelt behind and saw Xu Zhengxiang's legs shaking violently as she knelt in front of her.
She gently patted Xu Zhengxiang's calf and whispered: "Mom, don't be afraid!"
"Feng..." Liu Mian just started to read out, when suddenly there was another thumping sound next to him.
He looked up and saw a woman in the crowd unable to stand and kneeling down.
Immediately afterwards, there was a splashing sound, and all the villagers present knelt down.
Liu Mian knew that these people were very nervous when they heard the imperial edict.
This is easy to understand, because it was his first time to read the imperial edict and he was extremely nervous.
After calming down his emotions, he continued reading:
"Blessed by heaven, the emperor decreed that there was a girl from Qinghe County, Ye Luoxin, who was beautiful and smart, and had unique ingenuity... she invented the threshing machine in the world to relieve the worries of the people and help the country's prosperity. This is a great plan to benefit the country and the people." That is to say, Ye Luoxin is ennobled as a seventh-grade child, given the title of 'Hui', and is rewarded with a child's uniform, a child's crown, ten pieces of emeralds, ten pieces of agate, ten pieces of brocade, and a thousand taels of silver...I admire this!"
Liu Mian finished reading it in one breath, and the Xiao family's voices of gratitude immediately sounded below.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
The Xiao family kowtowed together.
County Magistrate Liu took a few steps forward, walked to Ye Luoxin, and said, "Hui Ruren, please accept the order."
Ye Luoxin quickly raised her head, raised her hands above her head, and accepted the imperial edict.
The villagers in Qingshan Village were all excited.
Ruren? What is the official position of Ruren? They haven't heard of it!
But this was granted by the emperor himself, so it must be a big deal. Now, the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family is no longer a villager like them, but a person with an official status!
"Ruren's money will be allocated by the court every month. Huiru people can come to the county office to collect it on the fifteenth day of every month." Liu Mian continued after delivering the imperial edict.
"Tsk, tsk, did you see that Ye Luoxin is a government official?"
"In such a long life, this is the first time for my wife to see a woman being consecrated. It is an eye-opener!" said the Zhao family's sixty-year-old wife.
"The excitement in the Xiao family is getting bigger and bigger. If it continues like this, we won't be able to look down on it."
The Xiao family members all stood up and thanked the county magistrate one by one. Ye Luoxin also gave a slight salute: "Thank you, sir. You are tired."
Magistrate Liu quickly returned the gift: "I can't help but I can't help you. Huiru is now in the seventh grade, and we are on an equal footing with me. I can't bear this gift."
When the villagers heard what the county magistrate said, they all looked at Ye Luoxin with a look of reverence.
