Yang Ruoqing said: "This reward is given to those who contributed the night before yesterday. Those who did not participate will not get it. This is a reward from the Yamen."

Mrs. Liu smiled flatteringly and said, "We have a chance to meet you, so why don't we give you some wedding money? Don't you guys think so?"

Although the people watching around were envious, they couldn't help but agree, but they didn't deny it either.

Yang Ruoqing smiled, "What? You just saved your life, are you so greedy?"

"Yesterday, my father and others shared the wild boar meat and rice, right? Every household has it, and you, Fourth Aunt, have it too. As a human being, don't be too greedy. Greed will cost you your life. Let's see who saves you!"

"

With just a few words, Ms. Liu's face turned red, and the other envious people around her couldn't speak any more.

"Qing'er, how will Magistrate Zou punish Butcher Chen and the others?"

Here, Yang Huazhong changed the topic and asked about this matter instead.

This matter was also the focus of other people's attention, and everyone immediately focused their attention on Yang Ruoqing again.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Butcher Chen and Chen Hu and his son were the masterminds of creating chaos during this special period and wanted to massacre the village. Magistrate Zou sentenced them to beheading!"

"The execution will be carried out at Washikou, the county seat, on the first day of next month. As for the others, they will all be imprisoned and sentenced to more than ten years. Chen Xiong was sentenced to twenty years. The prison sentence will soon be over."

When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, they were all frightened.

"Do you really want to behead your head? It sounds scary." Someone said.

"I heard that if you lose your head, the scar will be as big as the mouth of a bowl. I heard that it will leave a lot of blood..."

"There should be no one in the Chen family to collect the body, right?"

"Brother Chen, will you collect the body when the time comes?"

Someone asked Butcher Chen's cousin in the crowd.

The middle-aged man just came over and took eight taels of silver and put it into his arms. He was in a good mood now, with a faint smile on his face.

When he heard someone ask this, his face immediately fell.

"I'm so full that I can go collect his body!" he said.

"How can people like them and his son have the dignity to bury themselves in the graves of the old Chen family in Changping Village? Our ancestors have been humiliated by him for eight generations, so we can just let them die outside. This is their retribution!" he said.

Everyone sighed.

Fallen leaves return to their roots, and foxes die on their first mounds.

People in this era value their belongings after death the most. What happened to the four men like Butcher Chen and his son is really... indescribable, let alone acceptable.

This is really retribution!

"Execution in July? This is not a good month." Ms. Liu spoke again.

"July is a yin moon, and it's a ghost moon," Liu continued after seeing that she had successfully attracted everyone's attention to herself, licking her dry lips.

"People as cruel as Butcher Chen and his son, who save money, seek wealth and kill people to do bad things, will definitely become evil ghosts after death."

"It happens to be the execution in July. Oh my god, the ghost will still be there by then. Will he come back to take revenge?" Ms. Liu asked.

When the others heard these words, their expressions changed.

Farmers believe in ghosts and gods, and there are endless rumors about ghosts and monsters in the countryside.

"What should we do?" someone asked.

Mrs. Liu said: "I don't know either, I'm just worried!"

"There is a saying that every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. When the ghosts of the Chen family and his son return to the village, they will one by one seek revenge on those who took the money rewarded by the Yamen. It will be really troublesome."

"Let me tell you, take all the reward money and spread it out among us. Then when the Chen family and his son come back, they won't know who to seek revenge on, because we have all received the reward.

Silver, do you think so?"

There were actually some hesitant faces in the crowd.

Seeing this, Yang Ruoqing stood up and said: "Fourth Aunt, we have been working together for a long time. You are saying these alarmist words to scare everyone, and the purpose is to get a few taels of silver reward? I have also convinced you. Is it over?

?”

Yang Ruoqing almost shouted the last sentence.

Ms. Liu was startled and grinned apologetically.

Yang Ruoqing turned to the other villagers who had received the money and said, "Everyone should keep their own money and go back to buy rice and grain. Don't be fooled by those with ulterior motives."

"I reminded you all in front of everyone. If anyone comes back crying and complains that their money was defrauded, don't say I didn't remind them. They deserve it if they were deceived!"

After saying that, Yang Ruoqing specifically glanced in Liu's direction again.

Ms. Liu sternly turned around and walked towards the door.

Everyone else also dispersed one after another.

"Qing'er, are you hungry? Come to the backyard, the food is hot." Mrs. Sun came to Yang Ruoqing's side and said gently and lovingly.

Yang Ruoqing was actually hungry for a long time, so after hearing this, she quickly followed Sun to the backyard.

On the stove, there are two bowls of vegetables.

One bowl is fried tofu with wild vegetables, and the other is fried eggs with green pepper. These are Yang Ruoqing's favorite.

She picked up the bowl of white rice on the side and just took a bite when she saw Mrs. Sun lift the lid of the pot and take out a black pottery bowl from the top of the rice.

"Here, eat this." She said and put the bowl in front of Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at the bowl, which contained braised pork cooked with spicy pepper, ginger and garlic.

"Braised pork?" Yang Ruoqing asked, taking a chopstick and tasting it.

"Is there anything different?" Sun asked with a smile.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "The braised pork is a bit tougher than the braised pork I used to eat. Mom, what kind of meat is this?"

Sun smiled and said, "This is wild boar meat."

"Wild boar? Where did you get the wild boar?" Yang Ruoqing was even more surprised.

"It belongs to Butcher Chen and the others..."

Mrs. Sun told Yang Ruoqing everything about dividing the meat into rice yesterday.

Yang Ruoqing didn't have any objections to dividing the pork among the villagers.

But when she heard that Yang Huazhong actually donated 30 kilograms of rice to distribute to the villagers, Yang Ruoqing began to have a few black lines on her forehead.

"Thirty kilograms of rice, mom, dad and Xiao An, Xiaohua Xiaoduo, you two can eat it for half a month!"

"Just take it out and give it to the people in the village. There are so many families. What's the use of sharing a pound of rice to one family? It can't be taken care of for two days."

"After eating it in two days, I won't talk about how good you are. It's better to keep it and build a big canteen in the village when most people in the village can't even open the pot."

"Mix those dozens of kilograms of rice with wild vegetables to make porridge, and give alms to the villagers every day. In this way, we can still manage it for ten days. Everyone will keep talking about our number for ten days. Look, it won't be profitable for seven or eight days.

Huh, haha..."

Sun smiled after hearing Yang Ruoqing's words.

"What you said is indeed true, but we have to cook the porridge ourselves. Not to mention the effort, it may not be pleasing to the eye. The portion may be a little too much for someone, and some people may not be given that much, and they will have to pay for it.

Annoyed!" said Sun.

"Instead of that, I might as well just send it out now, so that everyone can at least be clean!" After listening to Sun's words, Yang Ruoqing found that it was not completely unreasonable, and any method was like a double-edged sword.
Chapter completed!
