I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 331 Bai Jingzhou Establishes His Authority

Of course, the truth couldn't be told, so Bai Jingzhou put on a righteous look and said to Ning Cuizhi: "Didn't I tell you that I won't have a child before I pass the imperial examination."

Ning Cuizhi's eyes widened and her mouth slightly opened, "How do you know when you can pass the exam?"

Ning Cuizhi disagreed with this frivolous decision, but Bai Jingzhou insisted on his own opinion. He said, "It won't take too long."

Ning Cuizhi frowned, "There are already some gossipers in the village who are privately discussing that Wen Xuan can't have children. You should think more about her reputation."

Bai Jingzhou frowned and looked very angry, "Who said that from now on, no one from their family will be able to work in any of our family's businesses."

Ning Cuizhi was speechless. "If we have already hired someone, we can't fire them just because their family members gossip about them, right?"

Bai Jingzhou snorted coldly, "Why not? You can trust someone who holds my family's bowl and slanders my family behind their backs?"

Ning Cuizhi couldn't help but raise her hand and rub her eyebrows. She secretly felt that talking to her son was really tiring!

"It's not our hired people who gossip behind our backs, it's their family members. If we fire them because of this, your village head grandfather will definitely come to help plead for us."

Bai Jingzhou thought about it and it made sense. Those who could enter his workshop were all carefully selected by Bai Lizheng, and those people were relatively reliable.

He said, "Then I'll go talk to the village head about this."

If Bai Lizheng didn't help him deal with those gossips, it wouldn't be too late for him to fire those people's families.

Ning Cuizhi let out a sigh, but Bai Jingzhou did not stop because of her cry. The young man strode forward without looking back and rushed directly to Bai Lizheng's house.

He found Bai Lizheng and talked to him about this and that.

Bai Lizheng fully felt Bai Jingzhou's anger and determination from his tone and expression, so he called those gossipers to the front in front of all the villagers and scolded them all severely, regardless of gender.

"It's heartless enough to eat with a bowl in hand and curse your mother when you put it down. But you are even worse. Your family members are still eating other people's bowls, but you have already spread rumors about them behind their backs. You don't want your family members to work in the workshop, right?"

They never expected that just because they said a few words behind Gu Wenxuan's back about her inability to have children, Bai Jingzhou would go directly to Bai Lizheng to teach them a lesson. Those people felt very ashamed at the moment.

However, when they heard Bai Lizheng's words, "You don't want your family members to work in the workshop, right?", those people no longer cared about the little matter of whether they were embarrassed or not.

Their jobs are about to be broken by their own hands, why do they still have the face? Is that stuff edible? Can it be exchanged for a job with excellent treatment and close to home for their families?

Several people hurriedly pleaded with Bai Jingzhou, admitted their mistakes, and said nice things to him, but Bai Jingzhou said nothing.

They panicked even more when they saw this. When they were so anxious that they were at a loss and even wanted to kneel down to Bai Jingzhou, Bai Lizheng snorted coldly, "This is the last time. If anyone does this again, no one in the Jingzhou family's workshops or shops will employ anyone from his family!"

When those people heard this, their tense nerves suddenly relaxed. Fortunately, Bai Jingzhou was still willing to give them another chance.

With Bai Jingzhou's clear statement, no one in the village dared to discuss whether Gu Wenxuan could give birth. Those who originally wanted to squeeze out Gu Wenxuan and let their daughters, nieces, and nephews take her place also gave up the idea and did not even dare to show any sign.

Gu Wenxuan did nothing and didn't even hear any gossip. The matter was solved neatly by Bai Jingzhou, and the Gu family became more and more satisfied with Bai Jingzhou.

In late autumn and early winter, Bai Jingyan and Han Yong got married, and Bai Chong's family gave her two silver hairpins, a pair of silver earrings, a pair of silver bracelets, ten rolls of fine cloth, and ten rolls of silk.

Bai Jingyan was delighted but also deeply uneasy when she received this generous gift. She kept muttering, "This is too much. This is too much."

Before, Bai Chong's family gave her a two-story house with a shop in the town, which made her feel uneasy. Now they even gave her another one. Bai Jingyan's feeling of unworthiness suddenly became even stronger.

Ning Cuizhi couldn't bear to see this silly girl fidgeting like this, so she put the things on the kang in Bai Jingyan's room without saying anything, "What more? You always like to mistreat yourself, which makes people worry about you."

Gu Wenxuan smiled and held Bai Jingyan's hand, "Cousin, we give you these so that you can live a good life in the future and be happy every day. You can't refuse."

Bai Chong also said: "That's right, your good life is more important than anything else."

Bai Jingzhou folded his arms, "If you are wronged, you must tell us in time. You are just married, not sold to the Han family. If they treat you badly, you can come back to your parents' home at any time. I will not ignore you."

Gu Wenxuan nodded vigorously, "Yes, we will always stand by your side."

Bai Jingyan's tears fell down, and she nodded vigorously, "Thank you, thank you, Jingzhou, Wenxuan."

Her parents and brother and sister-in-law had said similar things, but she still couldn't help crying for the support and protection that Bai Jingzhou and his wife gave her.

Even though she knew that the Han family would most likely not treat her unfairly - after all, she had capable family members - Bai Jingyan still felt assured and reassured because of her family's attitude.

She got married with reluctance to leave her family. She cried so much on her wedding day that her makeup was smudged, which made Uncle Bai's family very sad. Fortunately, she still smiled and had a rosy complexion after marriage. The Bai family observed her for a long time and saw that she was always in good condition, so they felt relieved.

It is worth mentioning that after she got married, the Han family did not lock her up at home to do laundry, cooking, feeding chickens and pigs, nor did they let her go to the fields with the men.

Because she didn't want to open a shop in town and wanted to live in the village, Han Yong helped her rent out the house with a shop that came as a dowry.

The land that Uncle Bai and his wife gave to her as a dowry, after consulting her, the Han family planned to have them personally lead the farming next year.

Seeing that Bai Jingyan was forced to be idle every day but felt uncomfortable with the idleness, Gu Wenxuan simply recruited her into the textile workshop to be a small manager.

Before Bai Jingyan got married, she helped her parents with the soy products business all year round. Although she didn't know many words, she was very good at accounting.

In addition, because she had a good character and was conscientious and responsible in her work, Gu Wenxuan put her in charge of 20 female workers, responsible for counting and checking their work results every day.
