After Wen Zhaoming picked up his sister's indenture contract, he put the dagger back, put Yueyue on the horse's back, and prepared to return.

Lotus said a few more words to Grandma Zhou Ya to prevent future troubles:

"Mrs. Zhou, my family is the Su family of Qingshan County. My daughter is a student. You and your brothel cannot afford to offend her. You better take care of yourself."

"Yes, I've made note of it."

Grandma Zhou could only swallow her anger. Not only did she not make any money this time, but she also offended a student. If she had known earlier, she would not have done business with that Third Brother Wen. But it was too late to regret now.

After the matter was resolved, the group of five rushed back. The Su family was naturally not afraid of the people from the pawnbroker business, but Wen Zhaoming was worried about implicating the people in the village, so when He Hua spoke, he tacitly acknowledged that his sister was the one favored by the young lady of the Su family, which was considered as indirectly seeking protection.

Yueyue had a fever that afternoon because of the shock. Fortunately, the medicine that Lianyi gave them last time was still there, so he immediately fed a pill to his sister, then ate some biscuits with boiled water and quickly rushed back, which led to the previous scene.

Wen Zhaoyue had already learned what had happened from her eldest brother on the way. She knew that it was her eldest brother who shamelessly borrowed a horse from Miss Su and even sent guards to follow him. Otherwise, she would really have to be separated from her eldest brother.

So after listening to the eldest brother's instructions, he obediently let go of his eldest brother, properly bowed to Lianyi, kowtowed three times, and then was helped up by Lianyi.

Lianyi never liked others kowtow to her, but she still accepted the gift, after all, the other person's gratitude came from the heart.

"I think Yueyue's body is not fully recovered yet, so I'll take her back and take good care of her. I have received your thanks."

Ripple said calmly.

Wen Jiahong and the women in the village thanked Lianyi again, and then prepared to leave.

Lian Yi ordered:

"When you get to Sujia Village, the dental shop people won't dare to embarrass you. Eat something first before returning to the village. The child is still young, at least let her have some porridge."

"Thank you Miss Su, Miss Su is so kind."

Wen Jiahong thanked him immediately.

Afterwards, the five of them plus Yueyue had a fairly substantial lunch, which consisted of coarse-grain pancakes with millet porridge, some pickled vegetables fried with lard, and a plate of scrambled eggs. It was a very ordinary farm meal, but it was filling enough. After eating and drinking, everyone felt much better, and Yueyue looked better too.

"Ming Ge, we have troubled Miss Su so much. Now that Yueyue is feeling better, we should go back quickly! The village chief must still be worried about us!"

"good."

Wen Zhaoming naturally did not refuse.

The group did not disturb Lianyi and just said something to Hehua before leaving.

Lianyi took a nap after lunch. When she woke up, she was not surprised to hear what Hehua said. She estimated that they had returned to Wenjia Village by now.

The group walked the remaining ten miles, taking turns carrying Yueyue on their backs, and returned to Wenjia Village before dark.

The villagers who saw them along the way came forward to ask questions with concern. When they saw Yueyue was found, they asked a few more questions and got a general idea of what had happened. Many people praised them for being smart.

Wen Zhaoming originally wanted to send his sister home and then go to see the village chief, but the little girl felt very insecure and refused to be separated from her brother. In the end, he could only carry his sister to see the village chief. There were some things that his sister also needed to tell the village chief.

"Ming Ge, is Yue Yue okay?"

"Much better. I was frightened and caught a cold. Fortunately, Miss Su was kind and sympathized with my situation. She gave me some medicine. I'm much better now, but she just refused to leave me, so I brought her with me."

Wen Zhaoming patted Yueyue's back and put her down.

"Hello, Auntie Village Chief!"

Although Yueyue seemed a little depressed, she still greeted the village chief politely.

"Good boy, I'm sorry for making you suffer."

The village chief touched Yueyue's head lovingly. Since he was a familiar person, Yueyue was not afraid.

"Yueyue, tell me about meeting Uncle Wen."

Wen Zhaoming said softly.

When mentioning Uncle Wen, Yueyue shuddered for a moment, then whispered:

"I was playing with ants in my fifth uncle's yard when my younger uncle came over and said he had something to ask me and asked me to come over.

I remembered my eldest brother's instructions, so I did not leave the yard, but talked to him through the fence. Unexpectedly, he said he couldn't hear me, so he went straight into my fifth uncle's yard. When I was about to call my fifth uncle, my youngest uncle took a handkerchief and covered my mouth. Before I could shout out, I knew nothing.

When I woke up, I was on a bullock cart. There was a very fierce woman who told me that I had been sold by my family and told me to be obedient or she would not give me food and would beat me.

Yueyue's eyes turned red when she said this. After all, she was still a child and could only cry quietly after being frightened.

The faces of the village chief and Wen Zhaoming were so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of them.

"Later it started to rain, and a boy with me seemed to have caught a cold, and his body was burning. I discovered it, and I told the fierce woman. She was afraid that the pretty boy's brain would be burned, so she found a place to shelter from the rain and gave the child medicine.

After the rain stopped, we continued on our way, and then my eldest brother and Aunt Hong caught up with us. ”

Wen Zhaoyue is already seven years old in his age group and can remember things. He speaks clearly and logically and explains things clearly.

After listening to this, the village chief said:

"Ming Ge'er, take Yue Yue back to rest first. We will open the ancestral hall in the village tomorrow to see how to deal with Third Brother Wen."

"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you, Village Chief. I won't take the prey I got from the mountain this time. I'll give it to the sisters who came with me to look for Yueyue."

Wen Zhaoming said after picking up his sister.

"The meat is yours. It's yours to do with it as you wish. But it's better for you to deliver it in person to show your sincerity."

The village chief was also smart and gave a suggestion.

"Okay, I'll make a note of that."

Then Wen Zhaoming took his sister back home.

Neighbor Wen Wubo had been lingering outside the gate of his yard. His expression improved a little when he saw Wen Zhaoming coming back with Yueyue in his arms.

Wen Zhaoming was the first to speak:

"Uncle Wu, Yueyue is back. Don't worry. Go back and have a rest!"

"Hey! Just find it back! If only..."

Uncle Wen Wu looked relieved. If he couldn't find it, he would probably blame himself for the rest of his life.

"Uncle Wu, this isn't your fault. He's Yueyue's uncle. You can't guard against him. Even if you weren't watching, Yueyue would still get lost. Don't blame yourself."

"Ming Ge'er is a reasonable person. I hope you don't blame me."

After hearing what Wen Zhaoming said, Uncle Wen Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief, as he was afraid that Ming'er would resent him.

"Fifth uncle, the village chief said that the ancestral hall will be opened tomorrow to deal with Third Brother Wen."

Wen Zhaoming mentioned it again.

"Yes, open the ancestral hall to deal with this vicious man who even spared his own niece!"
