However, Fang Yan ultimately underestimated Zhang Laowu's cunning.
By the time everything was finished, it was already 10 p.m.
"Captain Liu probably won't be back until after midnight. You should go back and rest first, and come back tomorrow to ask about the situation."
Although Wei Jiahong's tone was questioning, his attitude was more like that of a suggestion.
Little Fish couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep in Fang Yan's arms.
Fang Yan herself was also a little tired, and she didn't want to keep going.
Anyway, Fang Yaojin can't escape this time, as for the family that wants to buy her...
Team Leader Liu and his men stayed there to wait for the rabbit to run into the tree stump. One reason was to give that family a political lesson; the other was to convict Fang Yaojin of the crime of illegally selling people.
Whether she stays or waits, it won't affect the outcome.
However, since Captain Liu has been such a great help this time, she definitely needs to thank him properly.
I've made up my mind not to stay here any longer.
Fang Yan did not make a decision on her own, but instead turned to ask Zhang Zongde and the village chief for their opinions.
“Then we’ll listen to the leader and come back tomorrow to inquire about the information,” Zhang Zongde decided.
When he was the village chief, he, like the current village chief, frequently went to the county town for meetings.
However, this was the first time they had met the top official of the entire county.
So when they learned Wei Jiahong's identity in the afternoon, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to shake hands with him.
At the same time, she was secretly wondering how Fang Yan knew Wei Jiahong!
Although they spent most of the day together, they found Wei Jiahong to be quite approachable.
However, they still subconsciously felt a deep respect for him because of his status.
The village chief had no objections.
Since everyone has decided not to stay.
So now, we should discuss whether to go back to the village?
Or should we book a room at a guesthouse?
When we came out today, the village chief rode his bicycle, carrying Zhang Zongde to the county town.
Wei Jiahong also said that he could lend them his bicycle.
Fang Yan, holding Xiao Yuzai, rode on the village chief's bicycle, while Zhang Zongde rode on Wei Jiahong's bicycle.
However, Zhang Zongde was almost seventy years old, and half of the way back was a rugged mountain road.
Moreover, it's nighttime, the lighting is poor, making riding on mountain roads even more difficult.
Furthermore, Zhang Zongde has been busy and running around all day for his own affairs, without taking a break.
My mental state is probably not good right now.
How could Fang Yan possibly feel at ease letting the old man ride back by himself?
"Uncle, village chief, let's go to the guesthouse and book two rooms."
She usually respects the opinions of her elders.
This time, she unusually persisted.
When Grandpa Wei heard Fang Yan's words, he realized that they were not going back to Gouzi Village, so he invited them, "If you are not going back to the village, you don't need to stay at the guesthouse. Just squeeze into my house."
There are only four rooms in the house, and three of them are already occupied. There is only one room left. How can that be enough?
Wei Jiahong looked at his old man with a puzzled expression.
Grandpa Wei had already made arrangements: "Brother Zhang and the village chief will sleep in the guest room, He Ming will squeeze in with you for one night, and Xiao Fang and her son will sleep in He Ming's room."
See, isn't this all arranged perfectly?
Wei Heming is the young man who accompanied Grandpa Wei to the market today to buy braised food from Fang Yan.
That is, Mr. Wei's eldest grandson.
Wei Jiahong, who hasn't been used to sleeping in the same bed with others for many years: ...
Should he sleep with his nephew?
Let's forget about it.
"Let He Ming sleep in my room."
As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at Fang Yan again. Fearing that she might misunderstand, he explained, "I have to deal with Sun Maofa's matter overnight."
To prevent some evidence from disappearing overnight.
The first half of the sentence was based on the trust that Fang Yan and the others had in him.
He would only say that; otherwise, he would never say such things in front of others.
The second half of the sentence was even less likely to be said.
At first, Fang Yan did think that he was avoiding the invitation from Old Master Wei to stay overnight at the Wei family home, and that he was using work as an excuse.
After hearing what he said, she understood a little better. If they could strike while the iron was hot, the effect might be twice as good with half the effort.
However, more or less, it was because they were going to stay overnight at Wei's house that Wei Jiahong was working overtime all night.
He had already been working tirelessly through the night, fulfilling his duties responsibly. She didn't want to disappoint him, so she gave him a slight, sincere bow and said, "Thank you!"
She had thought that Old Master Wei's children might be officials, but she never expected that they would be the top officials in the entire county.
Today, he also troubled this local official, who put aside his work and spent the whole day busy with his own affairs. She should remember this favor.
Although Wei Jiahong didn't live at home, he still helped by taking Zhang Zongde and the others to his home before returning to his office to attend to his own business.
These days, entertainment options are really scarce. It's only around eleven o'clock, and the whole county is already asleep.
Wei Heming had also fallen asleep, so Old Master Wei went to wake him up and told him to go to Wei Jiahong's room to sleep.
Fang Yan, Zhang Zongde, and the others hadn't brought any spare clothes, so they could only quickly wash up and then go back to their rooms to sleep.
The next morning, Fang Yan got up early, thinking of making breakfast for everyone.
The nanny in the Wei family is not a live-in housekeeper.
Sometimes she buys breakfast like steamed buns on her way to work, or she starts preparing breakfast after she arrives at work.
Fang Yan wasn't new to the Wei family's kitchen; she was quite familiar with it.
However, after looking around, I found that there was almost nothing that could be used for breakfast.
Back in her room, she found Xiaoyuzai still fast asleep, so she instructed Qibei, "Keep an eye on Xiaoyuzai. If the elders wake up, tell them I've gone out to buy breakfast."
Everyone was still asleep. Qibei was very well-behaved and didn't make a sound, just nodded.
The morning market in the county town is also very lively.
It was only six or seven o'clock, and people from all directions were already coming to sell their own homegrown vegetables.
Fang Yan knew that these people must have left home before dawn and were earning their money through hard work.
Seeing that there were tender and fresh pearl vegetables and motherwort, she picked out two bunches of each.
There are so many people today, one serving definitely won't be enough.
The remaining two bunches will be kept in the kitchen and taken home to eat.
Turning around, she saw freshly baked rice cakes and weighed out three more pounds.
Add bean sprouts and eggs to make a stir-fried rice cake, which is a famous local snack.
I went to the pork stall to buy some fresh pork offal, and cooked a pork offal and pearl vegetable dish. It couldn't be more delicious.
"It smells so good!" As soon as Wei Heming woke up in the morning and stepped out of his room, he smelled an incredibly tempting aroma. Without even washing up, he ran to the kitchen. "Auntie, what are you cooking? It smells so good!"
