Everyone was celebrating Xia Qianqian's victory in the lawsuit, and no one came to comfort the Jiang family. Jiang's father and mother lowered their heads in shame, and Jiang Ming was still kneeling on the ground, not daring to get up.
"I, Xia Qianqian, can read a few words. If my fellow villagers need help with reading or writing letters in the future, just come to me." Xia Qianqian took a short nap in the carriage. Now she is full of energy and her voice is clear. She is full of vigor and vitality, like a top scholar returning to his hometown.
Everyone said yes. In this area, all the literate people are scholars!
"Miss Xia Qianqian, is it okay to stop here?" Mother Jiang asked in a low voice.
Xia Qianqian looked at Jiang Ming coldly. Jiang Ming's hair was disheveled, as if he had been ravaged by someone. There were still more than 30 meters from the village entrance to Jiang's house. She raised her voice and said, "Please make way, folks. Don't block the way for the sinner to atone for his sins."
Everyone burst into laughter and dispersed to make way.
Jiang Ming had no choice but to continue atonement, kneeling and shouting all the way until he entered the house.
"Xia Qianqian, you are so awesome." Wang Liang ran out and complimented with a flattering smile.
"Reasoning is everywhere. Let's all go back. When I build a new kiln in the spring, everyone is welcome to come and see it!" Xia Qianqian waved her hand and strode forward.
Xia Dingfeng followed behind in his carriage. This time, Old Man Xia and Xia Dinghai did not stop him, but followed the carriage to the thatched cottage on their own initiative.
Qin was very uncomfortable in the carriage. How could she sit in the carriage while her father-in-law walked
Xia Yunyun pulled her and said, "Mom, this is the carriage my father bought."
Qin: “…”
I feel like the younger daughter has become stronger because of the older daughter!
Song had already arrived, carrying a food box of roasted peanuts and sunflower seeds. When she saw Xia Qianqian, she greeted her with a smile: "Qianqian is back. Second Aunt brought you some sunflower seeds."
"Thank you, Second Aunt." Xia Qianqian was not polite. She took the lunch box and opened the door to go home.
Xia Dinghai didn't dare to go in, so he stood at the door and said, "Sister-in-law, you are tired today, so have a good rest. We will bring Yu'er over to play tomorrow."
Old Man Xia also said kindly, "Take a rest. You are all members of my Xia family after all. You can't let the villagers bully you for nothing. If you have any problems in the future, just go home and tell us."
"Yes." Qin respectfully escorted them out. She was a blind and timid woman, and this was her first time to experience a lawsuit. She was excited and scared. She was already exhausted and lay down as soon as she entered the house. She didn't even have the strength to boil water or cook.
Xia Qianqian lit the fire, put some charcoal into the enamel hand warmer, and asked Qin to hold it to rest while she went to cook. Xia Yunyun obediently helped to add firewood.
I'm so happy today, I must eat some meat to celebrate.
Xia Qianqian cut a few dried chilies, chopped some ginger, and then went to get the bacon. This was Gu Yanjing's way of cooking. The bacon was very fragrant and could be eaten with three bowls of rice.
There is nothing under the beam, no meat!
"Where is the bacon at home?" Xia Qianqian looked around curiously, but couldn't find any bacon.
"Was it carried by the cat?" Qin asked.
"Impossible. There are two big pieces of bacon. A cat can't lift them." Xia Qianqian was unwilling and continued to look for bacon.
After searching everywhere, I still couldn't find the bacon, but I did find a few suspicious footprints - they were men's footprints. After they left, a thief broke into the house!
Xia Qianqian was furious and checked the house thoroughly: nothing was missing except the bacon.
Only stealing meat? Xia Qianqian didn't believe that thieves in ancient times were so moral.
