Chapter 288 Why did you faint?
"When the Mu family comes back, you will act like a scoundrel and push the blame onto me."
Anyone with any dignity would not do such a thing after the Mu family goes out.
The villagers had their heads hit, but they didn't dare to cry out.
He covered his bleeding forehead and stammered, unable to speak.
Originally, he thought this matter was very simple.
The village chief would definitely turn a blind eye to his favor, and he would then be able to get some good land and an ox cart.
How great.
"Get out!" the village chief shouted angrily.
The villagers beat him up in shame.
Just in case, the village chief specially summoned everyone in the village.
He glanced sharply at all the villagers present and said angrily, "Some people in the village... I'm talking about the Hong family."
"The Mu family had just left when they came to me with a dozen eggs, trying to seize the Mu family's land and ox cart under the pretext of renting them."
These words caused an uproar.
The villagers all looked at the Hong family with spitting, contempt and hatred.
"How shameless! The Mu family has helped the village so much. Even the village's private school was built thanks to the Mu family. How dare they have the nerve!"
"Bah! Your child is still attending a private school, enjoying the benefits of the Mu family, yet he does such a shameless thing."
"Village Chief, I suggest that the Hong family's children should no longer be allowed to attend private school, lest they bring harm to the other children there."
The Hong family hated and feared the village chief. They really didn't expect that the village chief would speak of this matter in public.
How will they live in the village in the future?
The villagers who had not had time to do this were all scared and relieved that they hesitated for a moment.
Otherwise, they will be criticized in public.
The village chief smoked his pipe and said, "So, from today on, the children of the Hong family and their relatives will not be able to attend private school."
"Our village practices collective responsibility."
At this moment, the relatives of the Hong family rushed over and beat up the Hong family, wishing to kill them.
"You shameless people, it's not enough that you've hurt yourselves, now you've implicated us too!"
"My son finally got to go to school, and now it's all ruined by you! I'll beat you to death!"
When the villagers heard about collective punishment, all their little thoughts disappeared and they started to supervise each other.
It is not easy to send your own children to school, especially in the village. If something really happens, your own children will not be able to go to school, and you will be embarrassed and unable to gain a foothold in the village.
The village chief acted as if he hadn't noticed the farce and sounded a warning to the villagers present, "You need to understand one thing."
"The county magistrate opened a private school in the village because of Mr. Cheng and Doctor Deng."
"Mr. Cheng and Doctor Deng agreed to the county magistrate opening a private school in the village because of the Mu family's connections."
“If you cause displeasure to the Mu family, I think the village will be left without any help.”
After this analysis, the villagers realized the importance of the Mu family and remembered deeply that they must not offend the Mu family.
The Mu family has a powerful backer, and offending the Mu family will not benefit them in any way.
The village chief added, "Let's think positively."
"Our village is the hometown of the Mu family. If there is anything good, the Mu family will definitely think of us."
“Therefore, we must protect everything of the Mu family and not let those with bad intentions do bad things.”
No matter who you are, you will only work hard to do something if it is profitable.
When the villagers heard this, they were all very excited and happy.
The village chief is right. This is the hometown of the Mu family. If there is good news, the Mu family will definitely think of the village.
Seeing this, the village chief felt a little relieved. In the future, he would have to visit the Mu family and their land more often.
……
at dusk.
Mu Baobao and his group settled in an inn in a town.
Just in case, Cheng Zishi booked the entire inn.
This was Mu Baobao’s first time to the inn. She looked around curiously at everything in the inn. It turned out that this was what the inn looked like.
The shopkeeper bowed and smiled, "Excuse me, gentlemen, would you like to eat first or wash up first?"
"The hot water is ready."
Cheng Zishi handed a silver ingot of one ounce to the shopkeeper and said with a distant smile, "We can take care of the food ourselves. The shopkeeper only needs to be responsible for cleaning."
The shopkeeper didn't ask any more questions. He respectfully accepted the money and left.
Cheng Zishi looked at the environment of the inn and led the Mu family to their room.
Two people per room.
Baby Mu rolled around happily on the bed: "Grandma, this bed is softer than ours, but it's not warm."
"Our bed is still better, so warm."
Zhu was afraid that she would dirty the bed, so she picked her up and said, "Let's go wash our hands and faces so we can eat later."
This inn is so nice, no wonder it is so expensive.
After washing up, they went downstairs hand in hand.
Cheng Zishi and others were already in the lobby.
"Uncle." Mu Baobao jumped over. "Are you guys so fast?"
Cheng Zishi, "...not fast anymore."
"Baby, are you used to living in the inn?"
Mu Baobao nodded to show that he was used to it. "The bed in the inn is very comfortable, but it's not warm enough."
"If only it were as warm as home."
Cheng Zishi said, "There's no way we can have a kang in the inn, so we can only use a brazier at night."
"When using the brazier at night, be careful, okay?"
Mu Baobao took note of it obediently.
After waiting for a while, Mu Laodie and his companions did not come down to eat.
He ate indoors as he had been sitting in the carriage all day and felt a little tired.
"Is riding in a carriage uncomfortable?" Mu Baobao didn't understand. "It's quite comfortable."
Cheng Zishi used the serving chopsticks to pick up some meat for her and said, "Not everyone is used to riding in a carriage."
"Baby, eat quickly, you must be hungry."
With delicious food in front of him, Mu Baobao didn't care about those problems anymore and ate while swinging his short legs.
In this way, Mu Baobao and his group walked towards Rongdu at a moderate pace, and every evening they would find a town or village to stay.
On this day, when Mu Baobao and his group stayed at an inn in a small town, something happened.
Old Man Mu, Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Liu fainted inexplicably.
It caused quite a bit of trouble.
"Grandpa! Grandma! Auntie!" Mu Baobao pulled Doctor Deng and cried, "Master, what happened to my grandma and them? Why did they faint?"
Doctor Deng comforted him, "Don't worry, baby. Let me take a look first."
He squatted in front of Mu Laodie and the other two and took their pulses one by one.
The Mu family members were all very anxious and gathered around.
They didn't speak at the moment for fear of disturbing Dr. Deng.
Cheng Zishi ordered the servants to prepare hot water and other things.
Zheng Xingguang held Mu Baobao's hand and comforted her silently.
"It's all right." Doctor Deng breathed a sigh of relief after taking the patient's pulse. "It's just that Mr. and Mrs. Lao Mu fainted because they were too worried and had been riding in a carriage for days."
"As for Boss Mu's wife, she suffered from a combination of cold and fatigue."
"I'll prescribe some medicine, and you'll be fine after taking it."
