A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!

Chapter 173 Seeing the fellow villagers in tears

Aunt Su got the pesticide powder, and the time for the video was up.

Aunt Su would normally go to bed after ten o'clock at night.

But isn't this for the purpose of collecting interest?

Aunt Su rummaged through the drawers and found a packet of scented powder.

I first tested the powder with a drone several times until I was familiar with how to use the drone to spread the pesticide. Then I put the drone and the pesticide away and climbed into bed to sleep.

But I can't sleep well because I have something on my mind.

Aunt Su got up at dawn.

Aunt Jiao, who lived next door and hadn't slept well in the new place, heard the noise and came over to serve.

"Madam, did you not sleep well?"

In fact, as soon as she said it, she knew it was an unnecessary question.

Such a big and beautiful farm was suddenly gone. How can anyone sleep well?

Not to mention the old lady, even she, a servant, didn’t sleep well!

Aunt Su nodded.

"Lao Jiao, I will go back to the manor with them in a while, please keep an eye on the two children."

Madam Jiao was shocked, "Madam, you, you want to go back to the manor?"

No, no, those servants in the princess's mansion have thick faces and don't look like good people. Yesterday, the old lady gave up the farm without asking for a penny, and asked the people in the village to avoid it for a while. Why do they want to go there by themselves today?

Aunt Su nodded and said, "I was in a hurry to come back yesterday and forgot to go to Wuming Mountain to pay my respects to Su Xian. Today they are going to pick someone up, so I will go to the mountain."

If something was dropped, Madam Jiao could stop it and volunteer to pick it up for her.

But the reason for worshipping Su Xian cannot be stopped or replaced.

Aunt Su gave further instructions.

"If I don't come back within two days, you will send the children back to the He Mansion in the capital. Take these two hundred taels of silver..."

Aunt Jiao was fine at first, but after hearing what was said later, her hands went limp when she tried to take the banknote.

When she spoke again, she started crying.

"Madam, this, this, Madam, all this money is just material possessions. If the manor is gone, it's gone. At worst, we can go to the capital together and seek refuge with the young lady!"

Why did she feel uneasy when she heard what the old lady said?

Aunt Su couldn't help but laugh and said, "Look at what you are doing?"

"I'm just going to pay homage to the gods, not to pick a fight. When I come back, we'll go to the capital!"

After hearing this, Aunt Jiao finally felt a little relieved.

"Then old lady, why don't you bring a few more people with you?"

Aunt Su thought for a moment and said, "It's enough to take two or three with us. There are still many people coming back from the village. If there are too many people leaving, there won't be enough room in the car... Oh, I'm afraid we'll have to rent two cars to go there."

The carriage set off early, and when Aunt Su left, she did not disturb the two children.

She wore some ordinary clothes, which were inconspicuous and convenient for movement.

This time she didn't bring any maid, only a strong old woman.

She had specially chosen this Mrs. Ding.

This old lady Ding had been married before, but unfortunately her husband died of illness at a young age, and she had no children. Because she was ugly and taciturn, she never remarried and just worked as a servant in the old lady's courtyard.

Other maids either have a large family or they can't keep quiet, so they get together and chatter endlessly, but Mrs. Ding is different.

Other old women talked about men, sons and daughters, and then talked about having grandchildren, but she had nothing. Even if she got close to them, people would look at her strangely!

As time went by, she became less and less talkative, and over time, people gave her the nickname Ding the Mute.

If Aunt Su wanted to carry out a secret operation, she would naturally choose this mute Ding.

Ding the Mute was suddenly called by the old lady. A look of joy flashed in her eyes, but she remained silent. She just sat in the carriage with the old lady like a wooden man. Aunt Su didn't speak, and she didn't say anything either.

At noon, Aunt Su's three carriages arrived at Sujiazhuang.

It’s a pity that in the past, as long as we parked at the gate of the manor, someone inside would come out to greet us, lead the horses and stop the car.

But at this moment, not only could they not count on anything, they didn't even dare to hang around the gate of the manor, but instead took a detour and went to the village.

Sujia Village looks different from before.

In the past, there was noisy and chaotic atmosphere, with children playing happily at the doorstep and adults working with the door open and chatting.

It was quiet now, as if there was no one in the village.

However, when the people on the three carriages got off, they saw their villagers through the crack in the door and quietly opened the door like thieves and let them in.

When the old people in the village saw the original owner of Zhuangzi, Old Madam Su, who was dressed in inconspicuous clothes and looked very down and out, they couldn't stop wiping away their tears.

"Old lady!"

"This is truly a disaster from the sky!"

"Ma'am, we miss you!"

When people are compared with others, they will die; when goods are compared with others, they will be thrown away. In the past, everyone in their village said that the old lady was good, but they didn't remember her so clearly. It was not until yesterday when that group of robbers came, only half a day ago, that people really wanted the old lady to come back in their dreams!

It turned out that the old lady sent someone to inform them yesterday, saying that if they had relatives in other villages, they might as well go and live with them for a while.

If the family is wealthy and has frequent visits from relatives, they would actually take some gold and silver jewelry with them and go to their relatives' homes in their own cars.

But there are even more people who are thinking that although those people who came from the capital city seized the old lady’s farm, they also need people to work and farm the land!

Their house and vegetable garden are here. What will happen to the vegetables in the garden when they go to their relatives' house? Who will look after the house?

Didn’t he just leave?

My goodness, in the afternoon, that group of people came to the village to call people.

They said they would pick a few people to cook for them, and they would probably be paid for it.

Well, there were a few short-sighted people in the village who actually thought it was a good job and went there.

Who would have thought that after just cooking a meal, the people inside would beat and scold me and kick me out, saying that what I cooked was simply pig food. It was bad enough that the village woman was old and ugly, but the meal she cooked was also very unpalatable...

This is great, I didn’t earn a penny, but instead got beaten and scolded!

Now, those who were originally waiting and watching immediately took action.

Everyone who could visit relatives went.

Those who could not go to their relatives' houses also found ways to rent a house in the neighboring village, and sent their women and children there, leaving only some rough men to look after the house. It would not be the case that those people would come to these men to cook for them, right?

Seeing the old lady this time was like seeing a living Bodhisattva, and I couldn't wait to follow her.

Aunt Su comforted everyone, "Those people are too powerful, they are from Princess Huyang's mansion. The Fifth Princess who came earlier is her niece, and even I dare not provoke her. I can only retreat for a while. Everyone, please bear with it for a while. Our place is very remote. They will get tired of living here after a while. Then I will buy them back and everyone can relax."

After comforting the villagers, she asked the carriage to take the remaining companions to Qingshui Lane and told them to come back to pick them up tomorrow. Then Aunt Su took Mrs. Ding up the mountain.

Upon hearing that the old lady was going up the mountain, several maids in Sujia Village expressed their willingness to accompany her.

It was only after Aunt Su’s kind words of persuasion that he gave up.

Aunt Su's trip to the mountain to worship Su Xian was just a cover. The real thing was to do something at night.

However, she still climbed up the mountain with Mrs. Ding, met Taoist nun Hu, went into the main hall to pray silently, and had dinner in the Suxian Temple.

It was also thanks to Aunt Su that she had the Suxian Temple renovated inside and out.

There are vacant rooms in this small temple that can accommodate foreign guests.

Seeing that the night was getting dark, Aunt Su stood up, called Aunt Ding, and took her to the spot they had chosen when they went up the mountain. She asked Aunt Ding to keep watch for her 50 meters away while she took out the drone and controlled it to fly to the farm at the foot of the mountain...

After Aunt Su determined the location, she started to spray pesticides, leaving out the new and old farmyards and the greenhouse.

After making sure that every last pinch of pesticide had been sprayed, Aunt Su began to play the horror video she had prepared long ago...

In the main courtyard bedroom of Xinzhuang Courtyard, Steward Wang, who came from Princess Huyang's mansion, was lying on the bed that originally belonged to Old Madam Su. He had just fallen asleep and was not yet fully asleep, so he turned over unconsciously.

When he turned over, he woke up a little.

It happened that night that they were bored on the farm, so they picked some fairy fruits from the greenhouse and killed a lamb raised on the farm. Instead of hiring the village cooks who had poor cooking skills, they sent out two people who knew how to cook. They cooked some meat and wine, and they enjoyed the meal very much.

I drank too much and slept for half an hour, so I have a bloated stomach, right?

He stood up, staggered out the door, and headed for the official room next door.

Although this old lady, Madam Su, is just an old lady from a small town, she knows how to enjoy life. She has an official residence, and it is shiny and sleek.

It's a pity that this official residence doesn't have a proper toilet and basin, so they had to search everywhere... They only found a few old wooden barrels, which were usable. They might have to send people to the city to buy more.

Manager Wang was muttering to himself as he walked into the official room and was about to sit on the old wooden barrel when he felt something was wrong with his nose.

He couldn't help but rub it hard, and then he sat on the wooden barrel.

But just as he sat down, he saw a few flashes of light outside the window.

what is this?

Could it be that a thief broke into the yard?

He planned to wait until the water was drained before going out to take a look.

But after just ten breaths of delay, there was more light outside and even a creepy sound was heard.

"Hs...hs..."

He sat alone on the wooden barrel, and the candle he placed on the windowsill flickered a few times and then went out.

He was so scared that he peed half of it, and the rest couldn't come out.

But his back kept tingling and he didn't dare sit on the barrel anymore. He quickly pulled up his pants and ran outside.

However, it is better not to run away.

A green ball of light as big as a bucket was suspended in the sky above the manor.

Something was surging and rolling inside this ball of light, and the strange and terrifying hissing sound came from this ball of light!

A dark shadow stumbled towards him and knocked him to the ground.

Hearing the voice, Manager Wang realized that it was one of his two trusted confidants, the one who lived in the side room.

Manager Wang got up angrily and kicked the other person.

"Blind your dog eyes!"

What are you doing rushing around in the middle of the night?

The confidant cried, "Manager Wang, I was just about to go look for you! I didn't see clearly just now, I deserve to die!"

Steward Wang pointed at the green light in the air and said, "What is that?"

The confidant trembled and squeezed to the side of the steward Wang, "Master, I, your subordinate, just saw this strange thing, so I hurried to report it to you!"

While they were talking, the ball of green light instantly expanded, increasing more than ten times in size, as if a terrifying giant beast was floating in the dark night, and suddenly opened its big green mouth, revealing an even more terrifying snake-like monster!

The confidant cried out and ran away with his head in his hands.

Without even knowing the direction, Cang Huangjian rushed into a house and held the door tightly, fearing that the monster in the sky would swoop down and devour these tiny humans.

But a familiar growl came from outside the door.

"Open the door! I've locked you out!"

The confidant quickly opened the door with trembling hands and let Manager Wang in.

Only then did he realize that he had rushed into the room where Manager Wang lived.

At this moment, Manager Wang felt a bitter taste in his mouth and his eyes were burning with pain. He entered the house and felt a little relieved. However, he still lay outside the window, opened it a crack, and looked out quietly.

"It really is like seeing a ghost!"

When Steward Wang cursed in a low voice, his confidant heard it and he immediately spoke in a mournful tone.

"My lord, I remember that everyone said that Old Madam Su was protected by an immortal!"

In fact, when they arrived in Tongcheng, they naturally stayed in the city for two days.

It's not like I haven't heard of the miraculous things happening to Old Madam Su.

However, as servants of the princess's mansion, they were fearless and had heard of the fortune-tellers in the countryside, but most of them were swindlers. When they heard about the princess's mansion, they wanted to kneel down and curry favor with them.

Therefore, how could they take such an old lady who was said to be protected by immortals seriously?

When Manager Wang heard this, he couldn't help but feel even more frightened.

If he had known that there was something strange about this village, he should have inquired more before coming here.

But now that things have come to this, he can't show weakness in front of his men!

"Bullshit, how can there be any immortal protection! Our princess is a royal family, with royal descendants, and they are protected by golden light! How can she, an old woman from a small place, be worthy of..."

Before he could finish his words, the scene outside the window changed again.

Then, a green woman's head stretched out from the green light gate!

This woman had a high head, a nose, deep eyes, a green face, bloodshot eyes, and long hair. That long hair... upon closer inspection, was actually made of green snakes spitting out their tongues!

The confidant let out another howl, looked up, and fainted.

Manager Wang was so frightened that his hair stood on end. His legs became as soft as noodles and he knelt down without realizing it.
