They say your illegitimate child is worthless, yet you rebel with seven wives?

Chapter 16 Young Master, Let Me Serve You Tonight

In order not to disturb the villagers, Su Luo specifically instructed the Si family members to dismount and lead the horses.

The carriage carrying the seven women also slowed down.

But along the way, the dilapidated houses on both sides still had their doors open as long as someone lived there.

One after another, aged faces peered out, their curiosity tinged with fear as they looked at Su Luo and the others.

Su Luo and the others walked to the end of the village, where there was a cluster of empty houses, all covered in dust, but not too dilapidated.

But the environment is really not good. Even if a piece is cleaned up, there is still a rotten smell.

Su Luo and his seven wives lived in the best courtyard, which had three rooms, all of which were nearly collapsed bungalows.

However, in his previous life, when Su Luo was fighting, he lived a life of hardship, even staying deep in the jungle, and he was not picky about food.

The seven women didn't have high requirements for the environment, since they lived in the woodshed when they were in the Su family.

Compared to the dark, damp, and sunless woodshed, this place is already much better.

Needless to say, Ye Hu and the others had been traveling and working hard all this time, so having a place to stay was already a blessing.

Therefore, despite the harsh environment, no one said anything.

"Please make do with yourselves tonight, stay here for the night."

Su Luo looked at Ye Hu and the other members of the Si family and said firmly, "However, I can guarantee that it won't take too long... at most half a month, I will make sure everyone is living a good life."

"At the very least, eating well and living in a big house is no problem."

Ye Hu laughed and patted Su Luo on the shoulder: "Young Master, now that we've submitted to you, we'll listen to you no matter what."

Su Luo shook her head and said seriously, "It's different."

"It is precisely because you are willing to listen to me that I cannot treat you unfairly."

"Just because you can make do doesn't mean I have to make you suffer... I'll say it again, there are no servants or masters here, we're all family."

Ye Hu and Shen Laosan exchanged a glance.

Zhang Daqiang's eyes welled up with tears, and he cried out, "Son-in-law, we'll listen to you!"

The other members of the Si family nodded in agreement, also deeply moved.

This group of people used to be servants of the Si family. Although Si Mingyu's parents treated their servants well, they never said anything like Su Luo.

In particular, Su Luo didn't want to pretend; during the battle just now, he was always at the forefront.

Zhang Daqiang and the others saw this and had long since completely trusted and admired Su Luo.

"It's getting late, and you've all been working hard lately, so you should get some rest as soon as possible."

Su Luo looked at Ah Yue and said, "Ah Yue, there should still be some food left in the carriage. You can distribute it to Uncle Hu and the others."

"Eat and drink as much as you like, everyone. Tomorrow I'll take you to make money, drink and eat meat."

During the meal, Su Luo specifically sought out Ye Hu again.

"Uncle Tiger, something's not right about this Xiaoyun Village."

Su Luo said, "The information I received is not like that; at the very least, there shouldn't be not a single able-bodied person missing..."

"It's very likely that he escaped, driven to desperation by others."

"Have someone help me ask the villagers carefully what exactly happened in Xiaoyun Village?"

Ye Hu nodded; he also felt that something was wrong with Xiaoyun Village.

All I saw along the way were elderly people; there wasn't a single young person.

……

As soon as Su Luo settled down, several elderly people were chatting around a table in Tang Daniu's house.

"Muramasa, what's going on?"

An elderly man with deep wrinkles on his forehead said, "Is this young master of the Su family really so confident in us? Why don't we leave?"

"That grain is the last of the grain we can offer. How much more does he want?"

An old man nearby gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be that he's like that village chief before, planning to take all the young people in the village away to work in the mines?!"

“Our village originally had over a hundred young people, but now only thirty or forty remain. What if they were all arrested…”

“We really can’t survive, and Xiaoyun Village is really going to die out.”

The group of elders became very angry at this point.

"These bastards... are they really trying to force us to our deaths?!"

"Ten years ago, when the old village chief was still alive, our Xiaoyun Village was a bit poor, but everyone was doing quite well."

"As a result, when the old village chief died, a new village chief came. As soon as he arrived, he said he wanted to eat chicken every day, so he killed all the chickens we raised, ate them, and then left."

"Eight years ago, another village chief came and ate all the pigs we raised."

“Five years ago, the village chief even ate our oxen.”

“Three years ago, we were already very poor, we couldn’t squeeze any profit out of us, and even young people were taken away to be forced into hard labor…”

"Now that only a bunch of old, weak, sick, and disabled people are left, what more does he want?!"

Tang Daniu looked at the group of old men, hesitated for a long time, and then took out the package.

"You guys... don't rush..."

"This time, the new village chief didn't want our grain, and he also said that we didn't need to host a banquet for him."

"And he also wants to treat us to a meal."

Looking at the grain on the table, the expressions of the angry old men froze slightly.

Tang Daniu's words were far beyond their imagination.

Since the old village chief left ten years ago, every village chief in Xiaoyun Village has come to exploit them.

But now, a special one has arrived?!

For a moment, disbelief filled everyone's eyes.

"I know you don't believe me, and I don't believe it either..."

Tang Daniu said, "But this new village chief actually didn't mind the environment of our Xiaoyun Village and stayed there."

"Anyway, we don't know what he's trying to do, so I think we might as well wait and see."

The old man with deep wrinkles on his forehead, who had spoken first, said, "We can wait. Even if this new village chief wants to deal with us, it doesn't matter..."

"But Dazhuang and the others are hiding in the mountains, which is so dangerous. I'm worried..."

Tang Daniu said, "Send the grain into the mountains and tell them to wait a few more days until the new village chief leaves before going down the mountain."

"That's all it can do..."

Everyone sighed, not daring to harbor even the slightest hope.

Having encountered too many corrupt and cruel officials, they dared not believe that this new village chief could truly be a good person.

……

After eating dry, hard food and bathing in the river, it became completely dark.

Without lighting candles, Su Luo looked at the seven women with a somewhat fervent expression.

Are you all ready?

He chuckled and said, "It's about time."

Upon hearing this, the women immediately tensed up, especially the four women who hadn't had much contact with Su Luo yet, who were even more nervous.

Ah Yue stood up and said sweetly, "Young master, tonight... I will serve you."
