Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 533, Section 534: Encirclement
There are quite a few varieties of fruit trees planted on the mountain, and they are all carefully selected to suit the local season.

Bai Suihe was worried that they wouldn't know how to plant, so he specially bought a fruit farmer's property. The farmer had spent his whole life dealing with these fruit trees, which was definitely better than them messing around here.

After walking around, Bai Suihe couldn't help but want to check on the distant mountains, wondering how the bear left there was doing.
Gu Xingyang has absolutely no interest in bears now; she just thinks they're ugly beyond belief. Although she remembered them, she turned her head away in disgust, preferring to look at the patch of green clinging to the fruit tree.

"Mommy, look at that bamboo viper..." Gu Xingyang pointed ahead, grinning, "What's it doing perched on the branch?"

As for the fact that bamboo viper is poisonous, Gu Xingyang wasn't afraid at all. Her mother could easily eliminate such a small amount of toxin.

Bai Suihe used to be afraid of these poisonous creatures, especially mollusks, but since she learned how to make medicine, she has worked with these poisonous creatures quite a bit, and gradually she has overcome her fear.

Now, seeing the bamboo leaf green that Gu Xingyang was pointing to, her eyes lit up a bit. "This is a good thing, it's just a little small."

It's only as thick as a chopstick; it's not very useful.

"But Mother, if there are little snakes, does that mean there are big snakes here too?"

Gu Xingyang really wanted to pet it, wondering what this so-called cold-blooded animal felt like to touch.

“What you said makes sense. They often come here to manage the mountain, so it’s best if this thing doesn’t exist.”

Bai Suihe then pointed at the bamboo viper and asked Zhuang Datou, "When you were clearing the mountain, were there many of these reptiles?"

Zhuang Datou also saw the bamboo viper at this moment. He quickly walked over, pinched and flicked it, and it was done.

"Madam, we've come across these things quite often, especially since the weather started getting hot; we can find them almost every day."

However, everyone likes these things, so I've given them to the villagers to handle.

Although it's poisonous, as long as you dare to catch it, it's a delicious meat dish, so no one will complain about it.

Bai Suihe said, "In the future, when we encounter these things, we should try our best to clean them up. Our people come and go, so we don't accidentally get infected."

Some things may not be fatal, but there's no need to suffer unnecessarily.

Zhuang Datou agreed, but in his heart he felt that the lady was making a mountain out of a molehill.

He would have ignored the thing in his hand just now if he wasn't afraid of scaring the lady and young lady.

This tiny little guy needs to grow a bit bigger before he's big enough to be served a dish.

At this moment, Granny Pang took Gu Xingyang from her and felt around in her arms. She didn't find the familiar sachet, so she asked Zisu, "What happened? The sachet I made for Miss, didn't you put it on her?"

"That's impossible! I checked carefully when I came out," Zisu said, stepping forward to check as well. She found her arms were indeed empty, and her face paled.

That was specially made for Miss Pang by Granny Pang, and it's suitable for a child as young as Miss Pang to wear.

Its main purpose is to prevent mosquito bites, but it can also protect against snakes, insects, rodents, and ants.

"She probably got bumped along the way and fell out," Bai Suihe rolled her eyes at Gu Kaiyuan. This guy, relying on his good physique, kept rushing forward while carrying his daughter, and probably dropped her countless times along the way. That's probably when she fell out.

"Keep a close eye on it when you get back; you might still be able to find it."

Although a medicine packet isn't worth much, it represents the nanny's heartfelt sentiment. Gu Kaiyuan smiled apologetically, "I'll definitely pay more attention next time."

They took another quick look around, but didn't stay on the mountain for long. After all, their presence made others feel uncomfortable.

The group returned to the foot of the mountain but still couldn't find the sachet. Just as they were about to leave, they were unexpectedly surrounded by a group of people.

Bai Suihe was still wondering who these people were when Zhuang Datou blocked their way and shouted sternly, "What are you doing here? Go back now, don't offend important people."

Lu Cuihua stood at the front and saw that Zhuang Datou was blocking their way. She reached out to push him aside, saying, "Zhuang Lao Er, get out of my way."

They're no important people; they're just merchants.

Although I am illiterate, I know the social hierarchy of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants; we are even more noble than them.

Zhuang Datou was very troubled. Who exactly had instilled these ideas in this person?

Putting everything else aside, their family relies on others for their livelihood, so they shouldn't be so disrespectful.

Not to mention the idea of ​​underestimating merchants. As long as you have money in your hands, no matter how high your official rank is, you'll still have to be fawned over.

“Aunt Huang, don’t cause trouble for Huang Pingguo. Everything we have now was given to us by the master and mistress. Even the land you are standing on now belongs to our master.”

"Get the hell out of here! You've really gotten used to being a slave, you can't even stand up straight anymore!" Lü Cuihua pointed at his nose and cursed, "He's your master, what does he have to do with us?"

What business is it of theirs what we have of our family affairs?
Why should their arrival cause such unrest in both our homes?

They must give us an explanation for what happened today. Just because Chunxiang used to be her maid doesn't mean she can control our family's affairs.

You are all free now, no longer bound by contracts of servitude, so why should you listen to their opinions?

It's reasonable for a daughter-in-law to serve her parents-in-law, but does that make Chunxiang so noble? She's unfilial and disrespectful, and she even hired people to make a mess of our family. We can't afford a daughter-in-law like that.

"You, her so-called master, had better hand her over now. She's our daughter-in-law now, no longer your slave..."

Bai Suihe saw this shrew up close and really didn't know where her small body came from, but she had such explosive power. Her shout even echoed through the mountain wall.

“Zhuang Datou and the others are your family, so you should handle it yourselves. I don’t want anyone to cause trouble for me. If you can’t handle it, then I’ll have to deal with it my own way.”

Bai Suihe showed no mercy. These people had only come here because they wanted to take advantage of their numbers to demand more.

But they don't realize that the initiative has never been in their hands.

This is where they suffer a loss because of a lack of common sense. All those shops are registered under her name as part of her dowry, so they are not actually merchants now.

And that ridiculous ranking of officials, farmers, artisans, and merchants was nothing more than something concocted by those pedantic scholars to elevate their own status. But what is the truth? Only they themselves can know.

I don't believe they can still spout this theory when they're starving.

"You're not allowed to leave until things are cleared up today," the Zhuang and Huang families had agreed beforehand, and they immediately surrounded them.
