Finally, at Old Man Min's insistence, the Min family sent Mr. Min, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Li to the hospital in the town.
In fact, when Min Fugui and Boss Min were arguing, Mrs. Wu was awake for a while, but she was speechless.
She heard Min Fugui's heartbreaking shouting outside, heard the statements of her other two sons and daughter-in-law, and heard Min Xuejiao's cruel words, she fainted again.
After Min Lao and Min Lao Er left, Mrs. Wu was so angry that she slapped the table and hit the bench. Mrs. Hu fanned the flames, and the Min family was in a state of panic.
The village chief had just returned from the town. When he heard about the Min family, he was so angry that he wanted to call Old Min over and curse him.
When he went to town this time, he learned that due to the drought in the south, food prices have soared. Brown rice used to cost ten cents per catty, but now it has risen to eighteen cents per catty. Even coarse flour has increased by several cents per catty.
What's the point of going on like this?
The villagers collect grain every year and after paying taxes, only a small amount of rations are left. Now, with food prices rising, how will they survive?
It costs money to build a house, money to buy food. Where does the money come from if you dig in the soil? Doesn't this cost their lives?
Seeing that this winter is colder than last year, some elderly people in the village often talk about snow disasters recently.
If it is true as those old people said, if there is a snowstorm this winter, the whole village will be ruined.
The village chief was already troubled by the rising food prices, and now the Min family is acting like a monster again.
The village chief scolded: Aren’t the Min family just looking for trouble?
The village chief’s wife saw the village chief’s face full of sorrow and reminded:
"I heard that Mrs. Wu and Ms. Li were about to die. Min Fugui didn't know the reason, so he was carried to the hospital in the town. What if they go to find the Xiyao girl to act bad again?"
"There are many people watching today, and they all unanimously proved that the injuries to Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Li had nothing to do with girl Xiyao."
"Also, girl Xiyao is not the biological child of Li and Min Fugui. How should we deal with this matter?"
"How can we deal with it? Regardless of whether she is Min Fugui's biological child or not, girl Xiyao's name is on the Min family tree. She is our Min family member, wherever she goes."
"This girl is capable and kind-hearted. If she hadn't reminded me that the weather would change this year, we wouldn't have prepared in advance and saved so much winter food."
The thought of snowstorms and famines. There was no food in their house, and the scene of their family starving to death made the village chief shiver.
In previous years, like other villagers, they bought some whole grains and noodles in winter and drank some wild vegetables to make it through.
This year is different. Food prices are rising rapidly. I'm afraid that by then, we won't even be able to eat wild vegetables.
Fortunately, Xiyao girl reminded them that their family had bought a lot of food in advance, so they were not afraid of snowstorms in winter.
"This girl is a good girl. Don't treat her harshly just because she is not related to the Min family. Treat her like a biological girl from our Min family."
The village chief made final decision and patted his thigh again.
"No, I have to remind the people in the village. Now that food prices have risen like this, everyone can still stock up on food to survive this winter. If we don't stock up on food, many people will starve to death this winter."
Thinking of the scenes during famines in previous years, the village chief took a deep breath and walked quickly to the ancestral hall without waiting for his wife to speak.
"Dang Dang Dang"
The bells of the ancestral hall rang, and the village chief summoned all the villagers.
He told everyone what he saw when he went to town today and his experience of snow disasters in previous years. Let the villagers buy some food while they can still afford it now and make preparations.
He is the head of a village and cannot just watch the villagers starve to death.
The elderly people in the village who had experienced the famine all looked sad and stood with the village chief, warning the villagers to prepare for the snow disaster.
"Oh my god! Food is so expensive. God won't let us live anymore."
Some villagers burst into tears after hearing the bad news.
The people in the village are very poor. The food they usually grow is not enough to fill their stomachs. There is no food stored at home. If there is a snowstorm this year, how will they survive?
Most of the villagers showed sad expressions, and a few unbelieving villagers retorted:
"Village chief, you are too alarmist. We have been peaceful for so many years. How come there is a snowstorm this year?"
The village chief has a headache for such a fool.
"Believe it or not, I will tell you all the news I got. As for what to do, it is your own business."
"However, let me start my ugly words. People who don't save food should not ask our family to borrow food when they starve to death in the future. After all, my family is not easy either."
As soon as the village chief's merciless words came out, the villagers immediately exploded.
In addition to wailing, most people no longer hesitated and were ready to spend a large part of their money saved at home to buy food.
After all, as the head of a village, the village chief will not talk nonsense.
Min Xiyao also stood in the crowd and gave the village chief a thumbs up in her heart.
This village chief is really good, sensible, reasonable, kind-hearted, and considerate of the villagers wholeheartedly.
Wu Chunhua also stood in the crowd. After listening to the village chief's words, she glanced at the crowd again and snorted in her heart.
These people are really ignorant. The village chief has said so, and he is still here to refute it.
The same goes for the village chief. Why does he care about the life and death of these people? Being nosy and being questioned and refuted by others is really exhausting.
When she was reading this book, she knew that there would be a snowstorm this year, and she worked hard to save more food at home.
She raised her eyebrows at the thought that she would meet the male protagonist, the current fourth prince, King Rui, in the next two days.
It is written in the book that the original owner of this body met the seriously injured fourth prince in the fairy mountain, and after saving the fourth prince, the two fell in love.
Later, the fourth prince favored her alone until he ascended the throne as emperor and named her queen.
Haha, she, Wu Chunhua, is the number one peasant girl queen.
As long as she saves the fourth prince, she can become a role model for women in the world and the number one person in the harem.
As for these mud-legged people, no matter what they do.
The village chief spoke with a dry mouth and did not want to get too entangled with everyone. Finally, he mentioned Min Xiyao and talked about today's events.
Many villagers testified, and the village chief found out the truth and announced that the matter between Mrs. Wu and Mr. Li had nothing to do with Min Xiyao.
When the village chief ended the meeting, he also warned everyone:
"Although Min Xiyao does not have the blood of the Min family, she is a member of the Min family. Since she is a member of the Min family, the Min family has the obligation to protect and help her."
He also warned Min Xiyao not to do anything that would hurt the family or bring shame to the family.
Seeing that everyone agreed, the meeting ended.
The meeting had just ended, but the small group of people in twos and threes had not left, and they were all discussing this year's snow disaster.
Some arranged to reinforce their houses, while others planned to go home and get money to buy food.
Seeing that everyone had not left yet, the village chief comforted Min Xiyao and told her not to think too much.
At this moment, a group of government servants came from the entrance of the village.
The yamen servant had a serious face and looked like he was intimidated by strangers. The villagers were startled and they all looked at Min Xiyao.
Min Xiyao looked at everyone with a confused expression and did not step forward.
Upon seeing this, the village chief immediately stepped forward, carefully saluted and asked:
"I wonder what the adults have come to the village for?"
If there is no major incident, four officials will not come at once. Something big must have happened.
The first officer looked the village chief up and down and asked in a deep voice: "Are you the chief of this village?"
"Yes, I am the village chief. I wonder what the important matters are for the adults here?"
"Li Guangtian from your village was killed. We are here to investigate the murder. It just so happens that everyone in the village is here. No one should leave."
The yamen servants were doing official business with an awe-inspiring aura, which scared the people in the village.
"What? Li Zizi was killed? Oh my god! Wasn't he fine the day before yesterday?"

Thank you to all the treasures who support Min Xiyao. Thank you for every click, subscription, reward, comment and collection.
It came out quite suddenly this time, and I coded two chapters overnight. I have been thinking about this story for a long time, and I wrote every chapter with great care. I hope you guys will like it.
If there are any things that are not well written, you are welcome to point them out and I will try my best to correct them.
I am a very responsible person, and this is the third book I have written. The previous two books have been completed, and this one is no exception. I will continue to write it until the end without any eunuchs.
Writing for the Internet is a boring thing, and I have to update it every day. For someone like me who has to work during the day, take care of a baby, and is not in good health, it is not easy to persevere.
I hope to do my best to write the story in my heart, and I will continue to do so.
As long as you are here, I will always be there.
Finally, thank you all for your support and encouragement. Leader Qingfeng would like to thank you!
