After receiving an affirmative reply, Lord Zhang instructed the registrar to record it.
As long as there is evidence and the procedure is legal, he won't say or ask anything else.
With the matter settled, Qiao Lian'er walked out of the county government.
The scar on his body served two purposes: first, to prevent the Qiao family at the east end of the village from taking advantage of the situation; and second, to give Song Ruier a good lesson.
If the Qiao family in the east of the village finds out that the information provided by Song Ruier is wrong, this kid will be in big trouble.
Because many routes have been suspended, and business is now limited to a radius of 100 miles, the area in front of Qiao's General Store has become much quieter, and the bustling scene of long queues of carriages and horses that used to be nowhere to be seen.
Qiao Lian'er didn't feel too disappointed. Since arriving in this world, she had been busy non-stop, so it was good to have some free time now.
She just hoped that she and the Pei family could weather this crisis safely.
The Qiao family was unaware that the situation had changed. Seeing that business was not as good as before, they all had worries on their brows.
As soon as Qiao Lian'er entered the shop managed by Madam Feng, Madam Feng pulled her aside and whispered something to her.
"Lian'er, it's been like this for several days now. What's wrong? Is it because our goods aren't selling?"
At first, they weren't worried, thinking it was just a coincidence and would be fine in a couple of days.
Two days passed, then another, and the scene grew increasingly desolate, causing everyone to become anxious.
The Wan family and the Lü family also came from other shops, anxiously awaiting Qiao Lian'er's reply.
"No, it's just that the line is out of service for some reason. Once the line is restored, it will be back to normal."
"It's not that there's no business right now, it's just not that good. In business, ups and downs are normal."
Seeing that Qiao Lian'er remained calm and composed, the group felt a little relieved. No matter what, Lian'er was always a source of reassurance for them.
Considering that the Qiao family's goods are sold all over the country, it's normal for things to change outside. These are things that are beyond human control, so they should just wait for news.
This was Song Ruier's third meeting with the Qiao siblings at the east end of the village.
“My sister is left-handed,” he said.
Qiao Chaoheng frowned unhappily: "As for the others, please tell us everything this time, Brother Song. We can't wait any longer. If you had told us about the left-handedness you mentioned earlier, my sister would have been practicing using her left hand long ago. You know, every action takes time to become familiar with."
“As long as Brother Song is honest, we will pay the rest of the money today. It’s five taels at a time. You know we’re not short of money.”
This is exactly what Song Ruier was waiting for.
"If there's anything else, it's that my sister has a rather calm personality. She's always quiet and collected, like a snake lurking in the grass, ready to bite you at any moment."
"Oh, and there's a scar on my sister's left wrist from when she was chopping wood as a child."
As Song Ruier spoke, a subtle, wicked smile appeared on his face. Let these people fight and harm him; he was just talking.
These people are rich and live carefree lives, while he is lonely and struggling to survive alone.
Why should they be superior to him? Just because they are born nobler?
Thinking of this, Song Ruier's malicious emotions surged up, and she fabricated a lie: "I almost forgot, when I was a child, I jokingly cut my right heel, which injured my Achilles tendon. Actually, she walks with a slight limp, but she is very proud, so you can't tell unless you look closely."
Qiao Lian'er shuddered.
You need to cut the wrist, then the heel, and also injure the Achilles tendon.
This is terrifying.
