Not to mention what Jiang Yunzhu was thinking, after Wei Kangping and Liu returned to the county town, Liu was still indifferent to him, which made him furious.
As the sun was setting, Liu was cooking. He watched from the side, his face gloomy. He had wanted to have some fun with her, but he knew she had been played with by so many people that he thought it was dirty. He couldn't count on Jiang Yunzhu, so he just got the money first.
He is familiar with this.
It was getting dark. Liu prepared dinner and sat at the table with Lu Yuan to eat.
Liu was also a frugal person. For dinner, she only had two bowls of porridge, two pancakes, and a side dish.
Wei Kangping sat down, "I know you are still angry with me. It's useless for me to explain, but I am really innocent."
Liu didn't say anything.
"Forget it. A journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength. Time reveals a person's true character. You will know what kind of person I am in the future." Wei Kangping said again.
Liu's hand holding the chopsticks paused.
Wei Kangping continued, "Anyway, I am determined to marry you." He took out a few things from his arms and handed them to Chen, "These past two days I have been looking for an opportunity to give you something and then ask you to marry me, but I didn't expect this to happen today.
Look, this is all my wealth, I'm giving it to you, you should know how I feel about you!"
Liu took a look at the paper and saw that it was a few house deeds and land deeds with government seals on them.
This, Liu was really shocked. He wanted to give her such an important thing
"Anyway, I've decided on you for my life." Wei Kangping said affectionately.
The balance in Liu's heart began to tilt. She felt that Jiang Yunzhu might have misunderstood. Wei Kangping could give her something as important as his life, which meant that he really had her in his heart and wanted to spend his whole life with her.
"Do you believe me now? I don't have much money, but it's definitely not a small amount. I can have any girl I want. Why do I have to touch her?" Wei Kangping said.
"What about you to me?"
"I really like you. I've liked you since the first time I saw you. You are different from other women." Wei Kangping said, holding Liu's hand.
Liu wanted to pull it back, but failed.
Wei Kangping smiled, folded up the house deeds and land deeds and put them into Liu's hands.
"I don't want it." Liu declined.
Wei Kangping insisted on giving it to her.
Finally, Wei Kangping took out a box from his pocket, put the house deed and the land deed in it, then locked the box and handed it to Liu, "Take this first, the key is in my hand. On the day of the wedding, I will give you the key, and we will not separate you and me. Is this all right?"
Without waiting for Liu to refuse, he put the box on the table, then looked at the food on the table and said, "Why are you eating this again? Can you bear it? The child is still growing, how can you bear it.
Wait a minute, I'll go to Bao Fu Lou and buy you some braised meat and stir-fried vegetables." He stood up.
"No need." Liu said quickly.
Wei Kangping insisted on buying it. "Wait for me, I'll be back soon."
Liu stood up and tried to chase him, but failed.
When she came back, she sat on the stool and had no appetite at all.
Half an hour later, it was already dark outside, and Wei Kangping hadn't come back yet. Liu couldn't sit still any longer. What happened? Logically, he should have come back a long time ago.
She went to the door to check. It was already completely dark outside. Occasionally people passed by on the street, but there was no sign of Wei Kangping.
She stood there looking for a while, went back into the house, and then came out looking again after a while.
When she came out to look for the third time, a man came running over from the other side of the street.
"Is this Wei Kangping's home?" The man looked at the big poplar tree at the gate and asked Liu anxiously.
"Who are you?" Liu asked.
"Oh no! Come with me quickly to take a look. Your husband met with bad guys in the back street of Po Fook Building and he was bleeding a lot." The man said anxiously.
Liu felt as if her head was buzzing and she even forgot to say that she was not Wei Kangping's wife.
"How is he now?" Liu became anxious immediately.
"It's at the doctor's office at the front of the street. Come on, I'll take you there."
The two of them walked along two streets, one in front of the other, and came to a small clinic.
As soon as she entered the room, Liu saw Wei Kang lying flat on his back, his clothes around his waist and abdomen covered in blood.
"Brother Wei." Liu rushed over, but was stopped by a man who looked like a doctor. "Don't touch him, or you will die faster."
Dead? Liu suddenly thought of her deceased husband, who was lying there like this at that time. She could do nothing but cry.
Her tears immediately flowed down.
"Are you his wife?" the doctor asked.
Liu was speechless and could only shake her head.
"If she's not his wife, then who are you?" the doctor asked again.
Liu still shook her head.
The doctor sighed, "Hurry up and get his family here. In his condition, we can only use old ginseng to keep him alive and then slowly treat him. If it's any later, he will be too late to be saved."
His family? Liu had only heard Wei Kangping talk about him living in the west of the city, but she had never been to his house, so how could she find him
"Then you can only wait for death!" said the doctor, and went to the back.
Liu quickly grabbed him and said, "Doctor, saving his life is urgent. Please save him."
"Without money, there will be no ginseng. How can I save him!" said the doctor.
Liu hesitated for a moment, "How much silver do you want?" She couldn't just watch him die.
"At least one hundred taels," said the doctor.
Liu was stunned. "I, I don't have that much money."
"Then how much do you have? As long as the difference is not too big, it will be fine. Judging from the clothes this young man is wearing, he doesn't look like he has no money. When he wakes up, we can ask him for it."
The doctor's words also put Liu's mind at ease.
"I have it. Seventy-five taels," she said.
The doctor's eyes lit up, "That's enough, Anian, go back with her and get the silver."
Just like that, Liu returned home dizzy. Things happened so fast that she had no time to think about anything else.
After arriving home, she found the silver she had hidden in her bag, clothes and a few boxes, which amounted to a little over seventy-five taels.
She hurried back to the clinic and gave the silver to the doctor.
"I'll save him right away." The doctor said as he went into the inner room. At this time, Wei Kangping had already been carried into the inner room.
Liu was pacing anxiously outside, fearing that there might be some bad news.
At this time, three people dressed as servants came in and asked, "Where is our master?"
"Who are you?" asked the guy named Anian.
"Servants of the Wei family, where is our young master? I heard that he was injured." The three people asked anxiously.
"Oh, Master Wei is in there." the waiter replied.
The three men immediately went into the inner room. Liu only heard words like "his life is saved" and "go back and recuperate well". After a while, three men came out carrying Wei Kangping.
"How is he?" Liu hurried forward to ask.
"Who are you?" asked the leading servant.
Liu blushed and didn't know what Wei Kangping had said to his family. She didn't know how to respond now.
"The young master's life is saved. Let's carry him back first. If you have anything to say, please wait until he wakes up." The servant said anxiously, and then carried Wei Kangping away.
Liu stood there, worried and stunned. After a while, she returned home.
After returning home, she remembered that all her money had been used to pay for Wei Kangping's medical expenses, and suddenly became panicked. But then she remembered that Wei Kangping's house deeds and land deeds were in her hands, and it seemed that that little money was nothing.
She was destined to remain awake that night.
At this time, in an alley two streets away, several people were standing there, including an old lady.
"Boss, why did you let that little girl go this time?" A sly-looking man asked Wei Kangping. In the past, Wei Kangping always had both money and beauty.
"I don't even want to get on with a slut like her," Wei Kangping said coldly.
Suddenly, he thought of Jiang Yunzhu, and a fierce look appeared on his face. He was determined to get her.
After discussion, the Jiang family decided to return the mule to Wei Kangping.
"Dad, let's ask the village chief to be a witness." Jiang Yunzhu said. She was afraid that Wei Kangping would do something to harm them, and she was also afraid that Jiang Cheng would get into trouble due to his impulsiveness. Gu Yongde was the village chief, experienced, and familiar with the officials in the county government. She felt relieved when he accompanied her.
"Yunzhu is right." After hearing this, Mr. Chen immediately agreed.
Jiang Cheng immediately went to Gu's house and told Gu Yongde about the incident. He did not mention that Wei Kangping wanted to touch Jiang Yunzhu's arm today, but only said that they felt that Wei Kangping seemed to have a problem with his character, and they did not want to take advantage of him, so they wanted to return the mule to him and asked Gu Yongde to be a witness.
Of course there is no problem with Gu Yongde.
The next day, Jiang Cheng and Gu Yongde went to the county town to return the mule. Jiang Yunzhu wanted to go with them, but Jiang Cheng disagreed. Wei Kangping was a man like him, and Jiang Yunzhu was a girl, so he was afraid that she would suffer.
Jiang Yunzhu didn't insist either.
As soon as Jiang Cheng and Gu Yongde entered the county town with their mule, someone saw them. The person asked another person, "Is this our mule?"
The other person replied, "Look carefully, they are from our family. Keep an eye on these two people, I will go back and call for help."
"good."
The county town was still bustling as always. Jiang Cheng didn't know where Wei Kangping lived, he only knew Liu's address. He had no choice but to go to Liu to ask.
After walking only two streets, five or six big men suddenly came over there, led by a man with a beard, tall and strong, with a fierce look on his face.
Gu Yongde's heart tightened when he saw this, and he pulled Jiang Cheng to hide aside quickly. They couldn't afford to offend these people.
Jiang Cheng also knew it, so he hid to the side.
Who would have thought that those people would come straight towards them.
After taking a few steps closer, the sturdy man grabbed Jiang Cheng by the collar and shouted, "You even dare to blackmail my son, and you don't even bother to find out who our Li family is!" As he spoke, his iron fist as big as a casserole was already hitting Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng was also a strong man, but he was completely defenseless against this strong man.
Seeing that the fist was about to hit him, Gu Yongde hurriedly shouted, "Stop, I am the chief of Changshi Village, what do you want to do!"
"Village chief?" The sturdy man glanced at Gu Yongde and was about to raise his fist to hit Jiang Cheng.
Gu Yongde grabbed his wrist, thinking of what the strong man had just said, and his mind turned, "Why did you hit someone? We don't even know you."
"Let me get to know you today." The sturdy man said, and waved Gu Yongde away.
The four or five sturdy men behind him also surrounded him and started beating and kicking Jiang Cheng.
At this time, one of them shouted, "You have the wrong person. We bought that mule two days ago."
Everyone turned around and saw a girl with bright eyes and a kind look.
"Yunzhu." Jiang Cheng said.
It was Jiang Yunzhu. Jiang Cheng and Gu Yongde left, and she felt uneasy and afraid that something might happen, so she followed them. Just then, she saw two people pointing at the mule that Jiang Cheng was leading at the city gate, and she knew something bad was going to happen, so she quickly chased after them.
"You bought it?" The strong man didn't believe it at all.
"We bought it from a man named Wei Kangping for nine taels of silver. If you don't believe me, we will take you to find him now," said Jiang Yunzhu.
"We did buy this mule. Someone in the Mule and Horse Market should have seen it." Jiang Cheng also reacted.
"I am the chief of Changshi Village and I will not lie to you." Gu Yongde also said.
The sturdy man then let go of Jiang Cheng with doubt, "Let's see what tricks you can play." Then he said, "Don't even think about running away!"
Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly. Why were they running
He led the way, and the group arrived at Liu's residence.
After knocking on the door, Liu opened it and was frightened to see so many people.
"Is Wei Kangping here?" Jiang Cheng asked, trying his best to suppress his anger.
"He, he was injured last night and was carried back home by servants." Liu replied stutteringly.
"Where is his home?" Jiang Cheng asked again.
"On Qipan Street in the west of the city."
What exactly
Liu didn't know either. It was Wei Kangping who came to see her every time, and she had never been to Wei's house.
Jiang Cheng frowned when he heard this.
The burly man surnamed Li snorted, "Qipan Street? I've never heard of anyone surnamed Wei living there. Are you deliberately putting on an act for me?"
Jiang Cheng didn't react much to his words, but Liu just felt that her vision was dark. "Impossible!" she exclaimed in shock.
The burly man named Li waved his hand and was about to fight Jiang Cheng and others again. He was sure that these people were deceiving him.
"We may have all been deceived." At this time, Jiang Yunzhu said something shocking.
The noise they made here alarmed the neighbors, and many people came out to watch the fun.
At a street corner, Wei Kangping looked at Jiang Yunzhu in the crowd with a ferocious expression. His mule was indeed from a shady place, so he was in a hurry to take action. The Jiang family was in Changshi Village, so it was not reasonable for them to meet the victim so soon.
But who knew things would change so quickly. Wei Kangping gritted his teeth. He really didn't expect that the Jiang family would come to the county town to return the mule.
Turning around, he disappeared into the streets.
At this time, a carriage stopped on the street, and a female voice inside asked the driver, "Song Li, what happened outside?"
The driver got off the car to inquire and returned to report after a while.
A fair and smooth hand lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked out, seeing Jiang Yunzhu in the crowd, and also seeing Wei Kangping who was obviously walking in the opposite direction of the crowd.
Then the carriage curtain was lowered and the carriage left silently.
On the other side of the street, two people also came.
Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng took four days to return to the capital from Luzhou last time, but this time it only took them three and a half days to reach Wuling County.
Just then, they saw a group of people and Jiang Yunzhu who was talking about something in the crowd.
"What's going on?" Yang Sheng asked someone next to him.
The man was not too sure either, he just heard the girl say that she seemed to have been cheated.
Yang Sheng raised his eyebrows. Oh, someone is bullying them!
