Chapter 59

The little daughter-in-law who was named by Chen Qingqing was taken aback. Now people in the village are very afraid of the family grandma, lest they say the wrong thing.

"You just said that the bell wards off evil spirits? Do you have any explanation?" Chen Qingqing asked with a smile.

Seeing that she didn't look angry, the little daughter-in-law boldly said:
"In my natal village, there are some sayings that animals can see unclean things in their eyes, and if they encounter violent deaths, they are easy to be caught. Hanging a bell can ward off evil spirits."

"Is this saying popular in the local area?" Chen Qingqing asked Man Shan.

Man Shan thought for a while, then shook his head.

"There was a saying in the early years. Later, during the war, the bells were hard to find, so our farmers replaced them with red cloth strips. When they saw someone dying, they tied a red cloth strip to the livestock to ward off evil spirits."

Yujiagou is really too poor, and there are no big animals in recent years, so the younger generation in the village don't know about this saying, only those who are old and married from other villages have a vague impression.

"No wonder they tied the bell, no wonder they threw the girl down"

Chen Qingqing understood.

Yu Buli looked at her.

"You mean, that group of people are superstitious?"

Chen Qingqing nodded.

"Only this explanation makes sense. I have read many village chronicles. Although the situation in each village is different, there is almost one thing in common in the descriptions of bandits and rogues."

Regardless of whether it is bandits hiding in the mountains or sea tyrants who make a living by robbing fishing boats, these thieves who do shady things will become more superstitious the more they do bad things.

Therefore, behaviors that seem illogical to outsiders are all logical when explained by superstition.

"I still don't believe it. I sold her. I conservatively estimated how many taels of silver. I just stabbed her because I felt bad luck?" Yu Buli was skeptical of Chen Qingqing's reasoning.

He is not a young master who does not touch the ground and does not eat the fireworks of the world. He runs a high-end agricultural product company and often deals with farmers. He claims to know this group very well. The bandits also come from the bottom of the people. How could it be possible? Will you not care about the money you get?

"Superstition, to be delusional first and then to believe, is to scare people into a daze, and to take advantage of people's fear of the unknown, so that they will believe in these nonsense—" Chen Qingqing was explaining in a serious manner, and seeing Yu Buli's thick eyebrows frowned, The bad water is rising up.

"No, why don't we make a bet, if I'm right, let me cook half of the meals at home in the future, don't keep yourself busy."

"...Can I change it?" Yu Buli felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

He doesn't care about letting her cook. He has a good appetite and is not afraid of diarrhea, but her body hasn't recuperated yet. Eating the meals she cooks will make her unhealthy body even worse!

As a cook, he is destined to continue. If he is given a deadline, he hopes it will be 1 years.

"There is still a person whose life and death are uncertain, isn't it a bit cold-blooded for us to discuss the ownership of the kitchen?"

"Well, it's cold as long as it's cold." Yu Buli tidied up her clothes, as long as she was warm, it didn't matter to him whether others were cold or not.

Ermao came over with a man on his back. When the man saw the girl lying on the ground, he knelt down covering his face.

"Nizi! Why is your life so hard——"

"I'm still alive, I'm still alive."

The man stopped his tears and looked up at Chen Qingqing.

"My daughter is still alive?"

"Well, I'm alive now, but I don't know if she will die in a while. I can try to save her, but whether she can live or not depends on her own life. You have to worry about the risk, so take her back now , while she was still breathing, she colluded with your whole clan, saying that she died of a chastity, and maybe she could earn a chastity memorial archway for your village."

Chen Qingqing deliberately spoke ironically.

She was testing the man's reaction.

If the man agrees, she will ask Buli to knock the man unconscious and throw him into the ditch. She will save the girl and bring her back to Yujiagou after she is done. From now on, the girl will be from Yujiagou.

"No! I beg you to save her, as long as you can save her, you can ask me to do anything." Without hesitation, the man kowtowed vigorously to Chen Qingqing.

"You should think about it and save her. Your village doesn't have a chastity archway. If you let her die, your village will get the archway, but it will be honorable. Maybe it will be tax-free."

"I'll go to his mother's memorial archway! I don't want to exchange my daughter's life for the memorial archway. If you can cure me, if you can't cure me, I will take my daughter away. Even if I, Hao Zhongyi, die, I can't use my daughter's blood to warm other people's hearts!"

"Why are you talking to our grandmother?" Ermao couldn't see it, he was a diehard of the grandmother, and he was not happy to see a man and the grandmother quarreling.

"It's okay." Chen Qingqing waved at Ermao, gave Yu Buli a wink, and Yu Buli started to kill people.

Sew it up for the girl, and don't let people see it.

Except for Yu Fuyao who stayed behind to help Chen Qingqing, everyone else had to leave.

Hao Zhongyi turned his head back frequently, and wanted to say a few words to Chen Qingqing, but Yu Buli directly carried him away.

"Patriarch Yu, can my daughter be saved?" Hao Zhongyi asked while grabbing Yu Buli's sleeve.

"It's hard to say, my wife will do her best, whether she can live or not depends on her life." Yu Buli replied coolly.

Hao Zhongyi said ah, and suddenly understood.

It turned out that the patriarch Yu's wife was testing him just now, and she was a bodhisattva who sincerely wanted to save his daughter's life.

Kneel in the direction of Chen Qingqing.

"Gao Yi, wife of the Yu family! I thank you on behalf of my daughter! No matter whether the child can live or not, you are my benefactor!"

Chen Qingqing, who was disinfecting the needle and thread, raised her head and waved at him.

Hao Zhongyi was dragged away by Yu Buli.

"Shake, you light a fire."

Chen Qingqing wiped the thread with spirits, and roasted the needle on the fire. Although it is not as good as alcohol, the disinfection effect is limited, but under the current conditions, it can only make do.

Whether she can survive or not depends on the girl's fate.

After waiting for the needle to cool down, Yu Fuyao asked Chen Qingqing.

"Grandma Zu, you just wanted to save Nizi, so why did you provoke Boss Hao so much?"

"Have you heard of him?"

"I've heard of it. That's Boss Hao from Haojia Village. I don't know what his name is. I've heard people in the village talk about him by that name. His wife was married to us in our village, so when Haojia Village bullied us, he never If you don’t participate, I will still call him aunt as his wife.”

Chen Qingqing's hands had already been wiped with wine, in order to avoid contact with germs, she directed Yu Fuyao to get Nizi's clothes up, exposing the affected area.

"What else do you know about him?"

"I've also heard people from other villages say that Hao Da has a bad brain, and I don't know why."

"I don't know if the brain is good or not, but the heart must be good. A person who treats his wife and daughter well will never be too bad. And I counted, he has the life to be the village chief."

"What?" Yu Fuyao didn't understand.

Chen Qingqing gave her a mysterious smile, stopped talking, and focused on sewing her wounds.

Seeing her skillful movements, Yu Fuyao didn't dare to get angry, and only after she finished sewing did she dare to ask Chen Qingqing a topic that she was particularly interested in.
