Chapter 83: The Unstoppable Snow
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I don’t know what’s wrong with the weather this year. It’s snowing so early. I heard that the people in the south are already getting paid. Should we plant the crops here? Village chief, please give us a word.” A woman patted the snow on her shoulder, a little worried. It was only October, but it had already snowed for three consecutive days. Fortunately, the grain in the field had been harvested, but they did not dare to sow seeds in the field anymore. The abnormal weather made them, farmers, a little worried.
“We won’t plant any this year. Pass down the order that the entire village won’t grow any food this year. Those who have spare money at home, go to town to buy food and keep it at home. Go and inform the heads of each family to come to my house after lunch.” Jiang Xi walked out of the house.
“What nonsense are you talking about, girl? Are farmers waiting to starve to death next year if they don’t farm? The snow will probably stop in a few days.” Jiang Guoyou was deeply worried. It was simply a fantasy for the farmers in the village to not farm.
The men in the family had deliberately asked the women to come and ask questions in order to make things difficult for Jiang Xi, the newly appointed village chief. How could Jiang Xi really have an idea? If she did not let the farmers farm, would they all come to the Jiang family for a meal next year? The women did not even take a sip of tea and hurried back to pass on the message. As they walked, they muttered that the old village chief had become muddleheaded because of his old age. If he really allowed Jiang Xi to become the village chief, they would be killed by Jiang Xi before they could even benefit from her.
After the women left, Jiang Guoyou frowned. “Jiang Xi, you’re going to get married in the future, but your brothers will still have to live in the village. I’m afraid that you’ll never be able to stop the villagers from farming.”
Jiang Xi glanced at Jiang Guoyou. What was there to be afraid of? If anything happened, she could just drag Jiang Si out directly.
“The snow won’t stop.” Jiang Xi’s heart sank as she looked at the white sky in the distance. If what Zhao Yingying said was true, countless people would freeze to death in these two years. There were natural disasters and man-made disasters, and people were extremely hungry. They would do anything. Since she was the village chief, she had to lead the villagers to protect Happy Village. Moreover, Zhao Yingying had vaguely mentioned to her that there was probably a big disaster in Happy Town. A large group of refugees would rush into Happy Town and rob wantonly, causing countless deaths and injuries. The townspeople and the surrounding villagers would spontaneously unite to oppose the refugees. Such scenes were happening all over the country, and the towns that were not well-prepared had the most casualties.
Jiang Xi still remembered the frightened expression on Zhao Yingying’s face when she spoke of these times. She said that there was even a group of refugees waiting outside Jing City, eyeing them covetously. The guards of Jing City did not dare to kill them and could only drive them away. It must have been very chaotic at that time. In response, Jiang Xi could only say, “Let me do it!”
Zhao Ruifeng had been in bad luck ever since he returned from the Happy Village. On the day he went to the Happy Village, he happened to see Jiang Xi being doubted as the village chief, so he went over to support Jiang Xi and comforted her by saying that he would not jinx her. However, Zhao Ruifeng had never thought about whether he would be affected by Jiang Xi. Zhao Ruifeng had broken off an engagement seven or eight times and killed his previous fiancées. Jiang Xi had broken off an engagement three times and hung herself three times without dying. The reason why Zhao Ruifeng broke off the engagements was due to Zhao Ruifeng being unlucky. On the other hand, God was helping Jiang Xi to eliminate sc*mbags by breaking off her engagements. They were fundamentally different.
On the way back from Happy Village, Zhao Ruifeng encountered many accidents, big and small. Banana peel and foot-washing water were all small problems, and he could avoid them with his good martial arts. However, what did thunder on a sunny day mean? Although the lightning did not hit him, it knocked down a tree next to him and made him dizzy. When Zhao Ruifeng returned to the Zhao family’s courtyard, he was covered in a burning smell. He sighed and lamented that his luck was getting worse and worse. He only hoped that Jiang Xi, his fiancée, would not be implicated.
He was afraid that his bad luck would affect Jiang Xi, Zhao Ruifeng sent two groups of people to Happy Village to protect Jiang Xi in secret. However, as soon as he finished giving these orders, he was summoned back to Jing City by an urgent order.
“I’m not going back. Big brother, I should be staying here this year. You have to be more careful when you go back to Jing City alone. Try to marry my sister-in-law as soon as possible.” Zhao Yingying could not hide the worry in her eyes. She did not tell Zhao Ruifeng all the truth about the dream. She just asked Zhao Ruifeng to pay more attention. Most of what she had experienced so far had deviated from the dream, but the foundation of the deviation was built on Jiang Xi, her sister-in-law.
