Chapter 399 Hejia Village is hostile to everyone
But they did not get discouraged. Instead, they watched how others rowed and learned from them.
And they were not the last, there were weaker teams behind them, and everyone came for the prize and did not want to give up.
Shen Nuo stood on the shore and watched as the first-place dragon boat crossed the finish line and people in his village cheered and shouted.
Of course, this is just a promotion match. There will be other teams competing later, and the winners will compete with each other until the first, second and third places are determined.
The first, second and third place winners will receive rewards, usually in the form of silver, and this year's should be no exception.
"It will definitely be even more grand during the Dragon Boat Festival."
"Will you attend then?"
Shen Nuo pursed her lips and looked at him, then raised her hand and pinched Qin Yan's strong arm muscles. It would be a pity not to get rid of these muscles.
"If Nuonuo wants me to go, then I will go."
The cheers from the riverside were heard again, and a somewhat familiar face appeared before my eyes.
He was a handsome guy, standing at the end of the team and beating the gong.
It was only after he stopped that Shen Nuo noticed it again.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Noticing that Shen Nuo's eyes became confused, Qin Yan asked him.
Shen Nuo raised his chin and pointed at the dragon boat in the river.
"I always feel that guy looks like someone."
Qin Yan also looked over. It would have been better if he hadn't looked, because now he looked over, they really looked alike.
"Like my third cousin's wife?"
"Like Sister Fang."
Qin Yan and Shen Nuo said at the same time.
Then look at the other person.
"You think so, right? Could it be Sister Fang's relative?"
Ever since settling down, He Fang has been trying to find out any news about her parents and brother and sister-in-law, but has never been able to do so.
I can only go to Zhuxiangju to help every day, and at the same time keep an eye out for whether I can meet her relatives.
However, it has never been found, so why does it appear here?
"Ayan, don't tell me yet. If you recognize the wrong person, Sister Fang will be very upset. You should first ask which village he is from and what his name is."
What Shen Nuo thought of, Qin Yan also thought of. They have always been so in tune with each other.
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
Qin Zuo didn't come today, so I'm afraid only Qin Yan and Shen Nuo noticed this young man.
At this moment, a mocking voice came from the side:
"Look at that Shili Village. Hahahahaha, a bunch of cowards. They actually let a guy go up there. How shameful."
Someone on the side disagreed with that person's statement and frowned:
"You can't say that, right? After all, I tried my best, and I'm not the last one."
Although he said this, the person on the other side immediately responded:
"Why, is your village like Shili Village? There aren't even enough men, and you let a boy go up there. Boys should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children. Who would dare to take him out to show their faces in the future?"
At the end, the man spoke louder and louder, and it was obvious that he was talking to the people of Shili Village.
Everyone in Shili Village looked over, and someone said angrily:
"You don't have to worry about our village's affairs. At least our people are on the field. They are not like your Hejia Village, who are like turtles hiding in their shells and can't even find a dragon boat, right?"
"With their good character, it would be strange if they could borrow the dragon boat. Whether they can get it back after lending it out is another matter. The most worrying thing is that they will turn around and say that it is theirs."
After that person finished speaking, everyone else burst into laughter.
Just a few days ago, the people of Hejia Village received disaster relief grain distributed by the imperial court, but they had no oxcart to transport it back, so someone kindly lent them an oxcart.
But who would have known that when the man went to take the ox cart, the people of Hejia Village insisted that the ox cart was theirs.
So the man went home crying. It was Taoxiang Village opposite Yunzhu Village. When the village chief heard that his villagers were bullied, he went straight to the yamen.
He directly sued the people of Hejia Village. The village chief of Taoxiang Village was a scholar who had fled here for war, and he even wrote a complaint when he sued.
When Lord Chen saw this, he was overwhelmed and immediately summoned the village chief of Hejia Village to see the official.
The village chief of Hejia Village initially refused to admit it, but when the grain was being handed over, the yamen runners clearly saw it.
Lord Chen sent people to search Hejia Village. After the search, the people of Taohua Village quickly found their cows and ox cart in a cowshed.
The people of Taoxiang Village forcefully pulled the ox cart back and even spread the news to the surrounding villages.
In this way, Taoxiang Village and Hejia Village became enemies.
Shen Nuo listened to these gossips and looked at the people in Hejia Village.
The people of Hejia Village were so angry that their faces turned red after being criticized like this. They said in defense:
"What do you know? Those are people from Taoxiang Village who are slandering us. It's just an oxcart, right? We have it in our village, so how could we possibly steal it from others?"
Those who were originally skeptical, after hearing this, had nothing left to understand and this person confessed everything.
Suddenly, even louder laughter was heard. Looking at him was like watching a joke, and even Shen Nuo couldn't help but smile.
The village chief of Hejia Village slapped him on the back of the head, and he could only leave with a red face.
Shen Nuo finally understood that the Hejia Village could make enemies with anyone, first it was Shili Village and now it was Taoxiang Village.
However, these villages were moved in later.
"Bah, they just took advantage of the fact that they moved in a few days earlier."
"Who said it wasn't? Isn't it just a little closer to Yunzhu Village? Look how arrogant they are. If you don't know them, you would think that Yunzhu Village is very familiar with them."
Hearing people talking about his village, Shen Nuo couldn't help but walk over a little and listen.
Qin Yan laughed and pulled him directly behind those people. There was a railing blocking them, so they were not afraid of being squeezed under.
"Who knows? Some people say that someone in Hejia Village is very familiar with the people in Yunzhu Village. I don't know if it's true or not."
"I have heard of this. He said that Huang, the matchmaker from Hejia Village, was invited by the people of Yunzhu Village to propose marriage. It seems to be today. I don't know if it succeeded or not."
"Really? There are so many people in Yunzhu Village, how can it be her turn to be a matchmaker? I don't think that matchmaker Huang is a good person."
After hearing this, an aunt said:
"What's not good about him? He's just a stupid old fool. I...there's a boy in our village who is so good-looking. He's only 28 years old, but the matchmaker Huang actually wants to marry him to the head of Hejia Village as a concubine."
"Ah, the people of Hejia Village are too shameless, aren't they? How could they do such a wicked thing?"
Being a concubine is no different from being a servant, and she is a farmer's concubine. Isn't this ridiculous?
"I was so angry at the time that I wanted to beat those people up. They were so shameless."
"You have such a good temper. If it were our Willow Village, she would be missing limbs..."
Shen Nuo felt something was wrong when he heard this. Who would want someone from Hejia Village to propose marriage?
