“I’m fine now, but I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen!”
As Fang Rui’er comforted her sister-in-law, she pulled her into Aunt Luo’s room and said to Aunt Luo, who was sitting by the window, “Mother, I have something to tell you.”
She did not bother to catch her breath as she explained what had happened to the women in the village today to her mother and sister-in-law.
“I was angry at that time, but I also knew that it was not the time to lose my temper, so I rushed back after exchanging a few pleasantries.” At this point, Fang Rui’er suddenly realized that her mother and sister-in-law were looking at her strangely. Her expression couldn’t help but stiffen as she asked hesitantly, “What’s wrong? Did I do something wrong again?”
!!
“No, I just feel that you’ve matured!” Fang Liu burst out laughing as she looked at her sister-in-law, who seemed a little uneasy because of their attitude, and coaxed her, “You did the right thing.
Our explanations are only useful to those who are willing to listen. If people are biased against Madam Liu and the others, it’s useless no matter how we explain.
However, your encounter today has reminded us.” Fang Liu turned to look at Aunt Luo, who was smiling. “Mother, we might as well not go out for the next few days. As for visitors, if they come, we can just meet them. If they really say something wrong, I’ll say that I have a stomachache. When the time comes, we’ll avoid them and Rui’er will send them out properly.”
After hearing Fang Liu’s arrangements, both Aunt Luo and Fang Rui’er felt that it was a good idea and decided to follow through on what they had discussed.
The Fang family had already discussed how to deal with the villagers’ questions in the next few days. Lin Suisui also explained the news she had obtained from Fang Rui’er to Lu Ze.
Lu Ze was not surprised at all when he heard this. Instead, he smiled happily. “What a coincidence.
Previously, I asked Su Le and Bai Guo to come here first, firstly, to arrange our accomdations in advance. Secondly, I wanted them to come over in advance to investigate the situation in the village.
With this investigation, they really discovered some abnormalities in this village.”
Lu Ze hugged Lin Suisui as they leaned against the big pillow on the bed and he spoke to her in a low voice, “They naturally know more than Fang Rui’er does.
Other than what Fang Rui’er discovered, there’s another thing that’s amiss in the village. Guess what it is?”
“How can I guess?” Lin Suisui was amused by Lu Ze’s attempt to keep her suspense and tugged at his sleeve. “Tell me quickly. Don’t keep me hanging!”
“They realized that the so-called ‘husband and wife’ in every family in the village sleep in separate rooms at night.” As Lu Ze looked into Lin Suisui’s eyes, which had widened shock, the smile on his face deepened. “So, it makes sense that there are no children in the village, right?”
“You mean that the so-called families in this village might not actually be real families?”
Lin Suisui was not stupid. With the clues in front of her, she quickly deduced the truth. “Because they’re not really husband and wife and family, everyone has always maintained basic courtesy and self-control when interacting.
The reason the village is so harmonious was because everyone has the same goal and gathered here as accompliaces, so there are naturally no quarrels.
“But why is this village… Could it be because of the silver mine you mentioned previously?”
She immediately propped herself up from Lu Ze’s arms to look at him. “It can’t be, right? If that’s the case, where did the original villagers go?”
“We still have to investigate this matter in detail, but there’s one thing I’m sure of. There’s most likely a huge problem with this village.” Lu Ze held Lin Suisui’s hand as he continued slowly, “From the moment you told me about Fang Liu’s words, I already had suspicions.
“Think about it, if you obtained such a silver mine and wanted to hide it from others, would you let the villagers here do whatever they want?”
“You mean that the villagers who originally lived in this village have actually…”
Lin Suisui’s heart skipped a beat and she looked at Lu Ze in disbelief. After a while, she probed, “There were at least a few hundred people in this village. Could it be that…”
“Perhaps not all of them have been silenced. If it were me, I would escort all these villagers to the silver mine to work. After all, if we want to mine the silver mine, we need manpower.”
Lu Ze clearly considered more things than Lin Suisui did and stroked her back to calm her down as he said, “We’ll have to investigate further to find out the details.”
Let’s not be too anxious now. Let’s wait and see.
“If I’m not mistaken, the owner of the silver mine is probably even more anxious than us!”
“I want to go out for a walk in the afternoon.” After Lin Suisui thought about it for a moment, she suggested to Lu Ze softly, “I can investigate this village myself.”
“Then I’ll accompany you.” After arriving at the village, Lu Ze had enough time to accompany Lin Suisui to do what she wanted.
He was like a Young Master accompanying his wife outside to relax. It was as if in order to make his wife happy, he was willing to do anything.
“Do I have to play hard to get to match your attitude?” Lin Suisui was amused by Lu Ze’s domineering appearance and could not help but tease him.
“Alright!” Lu Ze agreed readily and had no intention of stopping her at all. He even looked forward to it. “Then please cooperate. Let me see how cocky you can be!”
“I don’t care. I’m just afraid that you won’t be able to take it!” Lin Suisui snorted and raised her chin slightly in an attempt to tell Lu Ze not to look down on her!
