The magistrate of Xiyang County was so distressed by the crying that he put one hand to his forehead.
After a long pause, he said, "What are you crying about? These kids are still in Xiyang County."
As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.
In Yunshui County, Magistrate Pang is the most powerful man.
But in Xieyang County, he was the only one in power.
The magistrate's wife's crying stopped abruptly, but the hand holding the handkerchief clenched tighter and tighter.
Yunshui County.
After explaining everything to Magistrate Pang, Zheng Ruqian felt much lighter.
When they arrived, they needed to conceal Pang Dashan's identity, but now that they had received Magistrate Pang's protection, they were no longer afraid of being exposed.
He first bought a new donkey cart with three taels of silver, and then taught Pang Dashan how to make the donkey cart.
Pang Dashan spent three days harvesting vegetables in Yunshui County and three days practicing.
Once both donkey carts were full, Pang Dashan was able to drive them steadily behind.
The two of them hurried back home.
It took about three or four days to arrive in Xieyang County.
As usual, I'll go back to the dilapidated temple first and leave the gifts I brought for my family behind.
Pang Dashan was a little puzzled. "Can't we just deliver the vegetables to Youranju first, and then take the gifts back with an empty car? Why do we have to go through the county town, go back to the dilapidated temple first, and then deliver the vegetables back to the county? Isn't this just taking a detour?"
Zheng Ruqian smiled but didn't say anything.
When he arrived at the entrance of the dilapidated temple, he tied the donkey cart to a big tree, glanced at the villagers peeking out from the village, and gave a cold smile.
In the past, these villagers were so frightened by Gao Hu's two sentences that they refused to sell a single vegetable.
Now that he has brought back a truckload of vegetables from Yunshui County, he naturally wants to show them to his fellow villagers.
See clearly that even without the support of these people, Zheng Ruqian could still receive vegetables and make money.
"Second Brother." Jiang Sheng skipped out of the dilapidated temple, "What delicious food did you bring?"
Zheng Ruqian took out two packets of pastries from his pocket.
When it came time to distribute the supplies, we realized that no one was there.
"Where did Big Brother and Third, Fourth, and Fifth go?" he asked.
Jiang Sheng took a deep breath of the aroma of the pastries and said with disdain, "Silly second brother, eldest brother went to school, third brother and Uncle Zhang went hunting in the mountains, and fifth brother accompanied fourth brother to the village for a medical check-up."
So, she stayed behind to guard the gate.
Zheng Ruqian suppressed a laugh, "Then you eat first, I'll take Dashan to deliver vegetables to Youranju, we'll be back soon."
The show's over, it's time to get down to business.
The two walked to the big tree and had just untied the reins of the donkey cart when they saw Changyan and Wen Zhiyun carrying a small medicine box coming out of the village.
Behind them hung several shy women.
Although Zheng Ruqian's relationship with the villagers was strained, Wen Zhiyun did not stop treating them. They were all upright people who would separate business from medical care.
It was precisely because of this that the villagers believed their relationship with Zheng Ruqian could still be improved. After Gao Hu was imprisoned by the magistrate of Yunshui County, they tried several times and finally couldn't help but follow the young doctor, wanting to sell their vegetables again.
The woman stopped in front of Zheng Ruqian and tried to strike up a conversation, "Xiaoqian, you've harvested vegetables again. How do you like these cabbages, Auntie? They're all oily after the New Year, so eating some cabbage is good for your health."
Zheng Ruqian kept his head down and didn't say anything.
He remembered this auntie. When he went to her house to collect vegetables before the Lunar New Year, she was all smiles but refused to give him a single vegetable. After he left disappointed, she even rolled her eyes at him.
He learned then what it meant to be a cold and indifferent person.
"Hey, why don't you say anything, child?" The woman muttered several times but received no response, and she became a little anxious. "We didn't mean to refuse to sell you vegetables in the first place. We were forced to do so. Why are you still holding a grudge?"
