Chapter 320: Chapter 320 - I Believe Good People Live a Peaceful Life

"This family has committed countless wrongs, angering both the Party and the heavens, so it was only a matter of time before they got hit by lightning."

Wang Cuihua calculated with her fingers and opened her mouth to speak.

"I can understand they would anger the heavens, but how did they anger the Party?" the village chief asked.

"If they hadn’t angered the Party, how could the Yang brothers have been caught? We now live in a society under the rule of law. We must observe discipline and follow the law, otherwise, it won’t end well!"

Wang Cuihua, who had been the subject of Suizi’s ideological work, was suddenly enlightened and was as fast as a rocket.

The villagers were greatly moved.

"Does the lack of rain have anything to do with the Yang brothers?" someone asked.

Wang Cuihua calculated with her fingers again and shook her head.

"I can’t say for sure, I can’t say for sure!"

Silence was more eloquent at this moment.

Her performance made all the villagers think that it was probably the Yang Family that implicated them. The blame game started all around.

"If anyone sees Yang Liu , don’t help him hide! He won’t escape. The times have changed. Anyone who breaks the law will be punished no matter how long they run."

Suizi seized this opportunity to make a point.

It’s not about taking advantage of everyone’s own anxieties. She just wanted to take this opportunity to do some ideological work among the people while making law popularization.

The villagers believed in ghosts and gods and saw lightning as a natural phenomenon, but no one realized that it was Suizi who had advised Yu Jingting to tamper with the Yang Family’s house.

Suizi hadn’t expected the effect to be so powerful that she had thought it would take a month or even a year or two to take effect.

Maybe the Yang Family had wronged too many people and even the heavens couldn’t bear to look at them.

With no one currently living in the old Yang Family house, and with the damage from the lightning, the village chief called a few young men and sent them to Yang Liu’s wife’s parent’s house to notify them.

Those people who had been troubling the Yu Family just yesterday, had heard that the house was hit by lightning, but not one dared to come and see.

This place was quite superstitious and deemed a house hit by lightning to be unlucky and to be avoided, especially by those with a guilty conscience.

The more arrogant they were yesterday, the more afraid they were today, fearing that heaven would drop a thunderbolt on them.

Knowing Wang Cuihua had said they’d face retribution, these people became increasingly afraid with some fasting, some praying, and others visiting temples. Some were even afraid their homes would also be hit by lightning and fled to their relatives’ homes in the middle of the night.

No one dared stand up for Yang Liu’s wife anymore.

Someone in the village suddenly remembered that at the beginning of the year, Suizi had helped everyone avoid a fire. This incident was associated with the Yang Family being hit by lightning. The blessing of Suizi being a Lucky Star sent from heaven was confirmed.

If you treat Suizi well, she could help everyone avoid disaster. If you displeased Suizi, heavens punish you with lightning. The more they thought about it, the more believable it seemed. Everyone felt that this was the truth.

Therefore, during the days when the Yu Family was helping to water the fields, there were always people coming to the door to deliver chicken eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs.

Some of the more exaggerated instances included the infertile wives of their own families coming to touch Suizi’s belly for good luck.

Suizi hadn’t expected this effect and didn’t believe it when she explained to people. One granny, desperate for a grandson, even threatened to kneel if Suizi didn’t help.

Seeing the woman and her daughter’s pitiful state, Wang Cuihua let Suizi go ahead and let them touch her belly, reassuring her that a careful touch won’t harm her.

"Ah! I felt it, it moved!" The young wife was on the verge of tears with excitement. Her mother-in-law also started crying.

"You must have some good fortune now. Tiegen’s wife, once my daughter-in-law gets pregnant, we’ll come thank you properly!"

"Uh, it’s not necessary." Suizi awkwardly smiled.

She’s already seven months pregnant and the active fetuses in her belly would flutter without anyone’s touch. Wasn’t that a bit too much?

However, something mind-boggling happened.

Just as Suizi and her family finished watering the fields for the entire village and were preparing to return to the city, the young wife who had first sought Suizi’s good fortune was pregnant.

According to Suizi, this had nothing to do with her at all.

She had only stayed for less than a week, so according to the timing, the young wife would have already been pregnant. What did that have to do with her?

But, the entire village was all excited, insisting that the child was a blessing brought by Suizi’s good fortune.

Soon, the news spread and a large group of women who hadn’t had children began to rush towards Yang Village in carts, which drove Yu Jingting to leave the city overnight with his family without waiting for dawn.

If they stayed any longer, he was afraid a bunch of people would line up to touch his wife’s belly and end up hurting his wife!

Just as they were about to exit the village, the village chief stopped them.

"Tiegen, are you leaving already?"

"Yeah, folks are too enthusiastic, it’s a bit too much for us."

"Isn’t it? These people have been too rude, always disturbing your wife like this," exclaimed the village chief. He gestured to his young daughter-in-law who was behind him.

"Suizi, could you have a look at her?"

The village chief had been waiting here since he heard that Tiegen’s family was planning to leave.

"... Sir, isn’t she already pregnant?" As Suizi recalled, the village chief’s daughter-in-law got pregnant just two months after getting married.

"Just let her touch you. The child she gives birth to will be successful." The village chief had a triumphant look on his face. To him, gaining a head start like this was wise!

Suizi accepted her fate.

She put on a forced business-like smile and waited for the chief’s daughter-in-law to approach.

This daughter-in-law was quite attractive and was a rural teacher, looking refined and cultured.

"Actually, everyone’s just speculating. There’s nothing magical about it, haha," Suizi gave an awkward laugh.

The young woman gave Suizi a shy smile, the reverence apparent in her touch.

While Yu Jingting chatted with the village chief, Suizi could only pray for the conversation to end quickly. If they lingered any longer, she feared a few more people would come to touch her belly.

Suizi recalled visiting a temple in her past life. There was a bronze statue in the temple that people believed brought good luck if its nose was touched. Over time, the statue’s nose had been touched so much that it had become shiny.

If it continues like this, wouldn’t her belly be touched until it shines....

"Yang Liu is hiding at Li Si’s house in Liwa Village."

Suizi came back to her senses, surprised at what the young woman had said.

"I hope the child in my belly can be like you, learned and talented, with a harmonious marriage and a happy life."

The young woman muttered to herself, and winked at Suizi.

Suizi was taken aback but returned her smile gratefully.

"Yes, good people live a safe life," she said.

The tractor gradually moved away, and the young woman and the village chief headed home.

"Xiaohui, you initially said you didn’t believe in these things since you’re a people’s teacher. Why have you changed your mind?" asked the village chief.

Xiaohui laughed and said, "A people’s teacher doesn’t believe in superstitions, but I believe that good people live a safe life."

The village chief did not catch her double entendre, nodding approvingly and saying, "Indeed, peace is a blessing."

"Suizi, what are you laughing at?" Wang Cuihua asked.

"I’m laughing because there are still many good people in this world. My uncle has married a very good daughter-in-law, and I’m sure their future developments will be very good."

The village is a small place. If she blatantly reported it, it could potentially bring trouble to the family. So they thought of this compromise.

Now that they knew where Yang Liu was hiding, the next step would be straightforward.
