After Picking Up the Lucky Girl, The Entire Village Flourished

Chapter 90: There will be a turning point

Views:

Jiang Sanlang came out of the court holding his daughter, and Chunniang and his parents-in-law surrounded them.

Chunniang was so angry that her eyes turned red. She took Yingbao and said to her husband, "Sanlang, let's go home and talk about it."

Jiang Sanlang said nothing, thinking about something in his mind.

The family of five got on a mule cart, driven by Jiang Sanlang, and headed towards the city gate.

Yingbao suddenly thought of Wu Daozi and said quickly, "Dad, Mom, let's go to the inn first. I still want to thank Uncle Wu."

She promised to give Wu Daozi gourd seeds and said she would take him to Simen Town to see the big gourds, so she couldn't break her promise. She also wanted to invite Uncle Wu to her village so that she could give him some golden fungus and snow fungus to try.

"Okay, Dad also needs to go and thank Mr. Wu for saving Baoer." Jiang Sanlang whipped the horse and rushed to the inn.

Gaojiadian is the name of the inn. You can see the colorful flags fluttering in the inn from afar.

The mule cart stopped at the door of the store. Yingbao jumped off the cart first and ran towards the inn, where she met Uncle Wu's servant Wu Rui.

"Uncle Wu, has Uncle Wu dealt with his business?"

Wu Rui was also very happy to see Yingbao, "I was just looking for you. Our master is busy, so he specially asked the servant to come and take the young lady home today."

Yingbao: "No need, I'm with my grandparents, parents, and grandma, so Uncle Wu won't be a help."

Wu Rui smiled and said, "In that case, I will report this to the Master later."

Jiang Sanlang and Chunniang came over and bowed to Wu Rui. "Thank you, Sir and Sir, for saving my daughter. I was just thinking of going to thank Sir Wu. Is that convenient?"

Wu Rui waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. My husband said that it would only be a small favor for him to bring the young lady back. He also said that if he has time, he will go to your village to see your big gourd."

Then he whispered, "There are still many doubts about your case. The Lord asks you to be patient. When the next county magistrate takes over, he will definitely review the case."

Hearing this, Jiang Sanlang's eyes lit up and he immediately saluted Wu Rui, "Thank you, brother, for telling me."

Yingbao asked: "Uncle Wu, are you staying in the county town and not leaving?"

Wu Rui smiled and said, "I won't leave for now."

"Where do you live then? I'm going home to get some gourd seeds for Uncle Wu. Where should I find you?"

"Don't worry, young lady. I will come to get the seeds when the time comes. Our master is renting a place now and will move in after a few days." Wu Rui said with a smile.

"Okay." Yingbao roughly knew where Wu Daozi was serving as an official.

Although the servant did not say it explicitly, his words and deeds revealed that his master would settle down in this county.

When an official who is about to take office takes up residence in a county town, it means that he has already arrived at the place and is now just waiting to take over.

That’s great. I will come over more often to get closer to Uncle Wu in the future.

Apart from other things, it is convenient to come and report some small evil deeds from time to time.

After saying goodbye to Wu Rui, the whole family changed their sad expressions and gradually became cheerful.

After hearing Wu Rui's words, Jiang Sanlang felt relieved knowing that there was still hope for this case.

"Once the river work is finished, it will be almost the twelfth lunar month. I will come to the county town again then." Jiang Sanlang roughly knew who Mr. Wu was, but he had to thank him for saving his daughter.

Yingbao nodded: "I want to come too." She was still thinking about the big tumor on Wu Daozi's neck.

In the previous life, when Han was in court with his family, the county magistrate was not Uncle Wu. This means that something unexpected happened to Uncle Wu within the next year and a half, forcing him to resign and leave.

This accident is not just physical, it may also be that a direct elder in his family has passed away, and he has returned home to observe mourning.

Another possibility is that he offended his superior and was dismissed from his post.

No matter what, Yingbao didn't want to let it happen.

When the mule cart drove out of the county town gate, Jiang Sanlang stopped the cart and said to his father, "Dad, you drive the cart. I still have to go to work on the river, so I won't take you back."

Old Man Jiang knew that his son had bribed the supervisor to get out, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then be careful. There seems to be a donkey cart carrying passengers over there. You can hire a cart to save some effort to go back."

"Okay." Jiang Sanlang jumped off the cart and watched his father drive away.

Yingbao stuck her head out from the car curtain and waved to her father: "Dad, you must come home early."

"Yes." Jiang Sanlang smiled gently and said, "Be careful on the road."

It was not until the mule cart drove far away and gradually disappeared that Jiang Sanlang turned around, walked into the nearby woods, took out a dirty old piece of clothes that he wore when he worked as a river worker from his bag and put them on.

After thinking for a while, he tore off a piece of clothing and wrapped his head and face, then tried it and took it off again.

He packed his bag and tied it around his waist, then turned around and walked out of the woods, slowly walking along the official road towards the county town.

It was already evening when Old Man Jiang drove back home.

As Yingbao entered the door, she saw her two younger brothers running towards her, hugging their sister and crying loudly.

"Okay, okay, look what sister brought you." Yingbao took out the books, calligraphy, pens, ink and paper she bought in the county town.

Xiao Wu took the book and copybook he was assigned, and suddenly he wasn't sad anymore. He wiped his tears and looked at his sister with resentment on his face.

Xiaojie happily took the copybook and looked through it.

Yingbao touched the two of them on the head and said with a smile: "You should study hard and become high officials in the future." She will support her sister when the time comes.

The next day, before Yingbao went to school, Mrs. Wen came to visit her with her daughter and son.

Wen Shu held Ying Bao's hand and asked worriedly, "Ying Bao, has the bad guy who arrested you been brought to justice?"

"Well, they were sentenced to five years." Yingbao became angry when she thought about it.

"It is said that the Han sisters hired someone to commit the crime. How was the Han family sentenced?" Mrs. Wen asked.

Ying Bao curled her lips, "Chen Ergou took all the blame on himself, and the Ming government ruled that the Han sisters were not guilty."

Mrs. Wen sighed, she knew this would happen.

She has lived in this mountain village for some time and has some understanding of Chen Changping's family.

Han's brother-in-law works under the county lieutenant, which makes him much better off than the rootless Jiang family.

With just a little bit of trickery, the Han sisters would be able to escape punishment.

Fortunately, the Jiang family did not suffer a big loss, and it was a miracle that the child was found.

It’s a pity that I don’t know anyone in this county, otherwise I would have to go and smooth over the relationship.

But then again, if the criminal takes the blame, it will be useless even if you try to smooth things over, the final verdict will still be the same.

"It's good that you're back." Mrs. Wen touched Yingbao's head and said, "I will come to your house every other day to teach you."

Anyway, the child is still young, so there is no rush for him to study medicine.

Yingbao shook her head: "Don't bother sir, I'm not afraid of bad guys."

She just wants to go to school every day.

If she encounters the same situation as last time again, she will stab the person with the knife in the cave.

Last time, she was confused and was restrained before she could react. She would be more careful next time.

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Wen said goodbye and left with her children.

Before leaving, Wen Shu gave Ying Bao another book, "You should rest at home these few days. Take some time to read this Shennong's Herbal Classic. I will test you later."
