Chapter 58 What a good person!

Before Magistrate Wu's suspicions were confirmed, he heard before dawn the next day that bandits had broken into Zhang Fu's house again and almost lost their lives.

"Lord Wu, my life is so miserable! If I hadn't woken up in the middle of the night last night, my body would probably be cold by now! These bandits are just too arrogant!"

Before, they were only after money; now they're taking lives.

Early in the morning, Zhang Fuhu, with his obese belly, personally came to the county government office, his face pale, clearly quite frightened.

Last night, he got up to use the bathroom and, on a whim, went outside to admire the moon. As a result, a bandit sneaked into his room and stabbed him in the blanket with a knife.

If he had been sleeping in bed, that knife wound wouldn't have seen the sun this morning.

Those useless animals kept in the yard are truly useless; you can't even catch one of them.

"I will look into this matter. You can go back now."

Magistrate Wu also didn't sleep all night, suffering from a terrible headache. Recently, more and more people have been dying in the town, and they can't even find any clues.

“I’m not leaving, I’m staying here,” Zhang Fuhu said excitedly.

This isn't the first time. The bandits robbed him of so much money before, but they never caught them. What exactly is this Magistrate Wu good for?

Magistrate Wu was having a headache when Lin Anyuan walked in from outside.

"Lin Anyuan, what are you doing here?" Zhang Fuhu asked, noticing Lin Anyuan's gloomy expression.

Scarface died inexplicably. Yesterday, he paid someone to capture that woman, intending to kill two birds with one stone, but he hasn't received any news from her yet.

Lin Anyuan, who hadn't shown up for half a month, is actually here!

Magistrate Wu glanced at Lin Anyuan and said, "I think this man has some talent. Let him stay and work in the county government."

"Lin Anyuan, did you do what happened last night? And did you kill Scarface and those other guys before?"

Zhang Fuhu's face turned ugly, and he suddenly realized that the person who broke in last night was Lin Anyuan.

The more I look at it, the more it seems similar.

He sent men to arrest his woman, so he came to retaliate.

Lin Anyuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Fuhu with a blank expression. "Master Zhang, I didn't kill anyone."

"Where did you go last night?" Magistrate Wu also had some suspicions about Lin Anyuan, mainly about the six people who died mysteriously last night.

But looking at his expression, it didn't seem right.

"Sir, Lin... Lin Anyuan didn't even have time to comfort his wife and daughter yesterday; he worked all night in the outhouse. Besides, with his physique, how could that be possible!"

Li, the head constable who was following behind, couldn't help but speak up for Lin Anyuan, who hadn't slept all night and had been helping his brothers with their work.

As for Lin Anyuan's skillful dislocation of someone's jaw, he had specifically inquired about it and learned that he had used a clever technique. He had even learned this trick himself.

Brother Lin is so kind and a good person.

"You may leave," Magistrate Wu waved his hand.

"yes."

Lin Anyuan bowed respectfully before leaving with Constable Li.

Zhang Fuhu, his belly protruding, watched Lin Anyuan leave before speaking with displeasure, "Sir, don't you know he was imprisoned for murdering his father and insulting his mother? How can such a person be employed?"

Lin Anyuan was his man, how could he have been taken away by Magistrate Wu?

He'd been itching for her for so long, but he still hadn't gotten his hands on her.

Magistrate Wu looked displeased. "It's just a small matter. Besides, this person is indeed very talented. You should know that better than I do."

Why would he need to inform Zhang Gui who he wants to use? He's just lucky to have some money; he's taking himself way too seriously.

"Yes, yes, Lord Wu, please arrange a room for me." Zhang Gui said with a fake smile.

Magistrate Wu was extremely annoyed and ordered someone to take Zhang Gui to the back of the yamen.

As he entered, he ran into Lin Anyuan. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Zhang Gui grinned lewdly and said, "So you've been working at the county government office all this time. I've missed you terribly!"

That face is absolutely stunning.

"Thank you for your concern, Master Zhang." Lin Anyuan lowered his eyes, concealing the murderous intent within them.

Zhang Fuhu's face was gloomy, and he lowered his voice, "Lin Anyuan, don't forget who gave you a full meal. If it weren't for me, you and your three maids would have starved to death long ago. A person shouldn't be ungrateful, don't you think?"

It was just a dog he owned, yet it had somehow found another owner.

...

...

Ye Wan brought the chicken soup out of the kitchen and then went back into the house.

"Er Ya, get up and have some soup."

"My name isn't Er Ya," the person on the kang (heated brick bed) mumbled, their head covered.

“Er Ya sounds affectionate, it’s a nickname. In front of outsiders, I’ll definitely call you Qing Dai.” Ye Wan put the chicken soup on the table and lifted the blanket.

Er Ya's face was covered in blisters on the kang (heated brick bed), and the scalded areas had begun to scab over. Fortunately, there were no outsiders in the house, and Ye Wan hadn't dressed her, fearing that the burns would stick together.

"Come and have some soup. I bought this chicken early this morning; it smells wonderful." Ye Wan brought over the chicken soup, and its aroma wafted over.

Actually, she caught it from within the space. Lin Anyuan wasn't home, and the three children were all frightened, so she didn't need to be particularly careful. She just pretended to go out for a short while and then came back.

"Mother, I don't feel any pain anymore." Er Ya slowly sat up, looking at Ye Wan with surprise.

It seems like it hurt a lot at the beginning, but then it didn't hurt much at all.

"That means the wound is healing. Drink the soup, it will heal faster." Ye Wan was about to feed Er Ya.

“I’m not as small as Sanya, I can do it myself.” Erya brought it over and drank it all in one gulp.

Ye Wan gently moistened her wound with the spiritual spring water before leaving.

Daya came in to tidy up and found Erya crying.

"Why are you crying? Does it hurt a lot?" Daya lifted the blanket and saw that Erya's face was covered in tears.

Er Ya shook her head, her voice soft, "Big sister, I'm going to become an ugly monster in the future."

Daya looked at her with heartache, "Didn't Mother say it could be cured? Don't cry."

"I know you're all just trying to fool me. Erlai from the village was burned, and his face is still scary." Er Ya couldn't see her own face, but she could see the wounds on her body. They were so serious, how could they possibly heal well?

"Don't be afraid, Mother said she can cure it, and she definitely can." Daya gently hugged Erya's uninjured arm.

"But my injury wasn't a loss, because Mother has accepted me as her daughter." Er Ya sobbed softly.

Daya felt a pang of sadness in her heart as she listened. "Yes, Mother is very good and loves you very much."

It's clear that Ye Wan feels sorry for Er Ya, truly sorry for her from the bottom of her heart.

In the past, apart from Sanya, everyone treated the two sisters with courtesy and kindness.

Looking at Er Ya, whose body was covered in burns, Daya wondered if Er Ya could bear the thought of her mother leaving in three years.

Deep down, she hoped that Ye Wan could stay and be their mother forever.

In the courtyard.

Ye Wan didn't know if it was because she had drunk too much spiritual spring water, but she was unusually sharp-eared and saw everything the two sisters were saying.

After a moment of silence, he looked at Sanya in the corner and asked, "Sanya, what are you doing?"

"Mom, feed the chickens." Sanya squatted down in front of the chicken coop.

Ye Wan walked over and squatted down with her. "Is Sanya scared? There's chicken soup. Shall we go drink some chicken soup?"

Sanya immediately looked at Ye Wan with bright eyes, "Mother, with Mother here, I'm not afraid."

"Don't be afraid, Mom is here. Sanya is taking good care of these chicks. When they grow up, we'll have some meat, okay?"

"Good! Mother, you're the best."

"Hmm, good girl."

Ye Wan was relieved to see that she wasn't frightened.

After Da Ya had coaxed Er Ya into calming her down, she had just entered the kitchen when she heard Ye Wan speak.

"Da Ya, I have a question for you."
