She has no happy family, no warm parents, and no carefree past. For her, what she has now is the best.
"Brother, don't be sad," Jiang Sheng comforted in her childish voice. "We'll get better and better in the future."
“In the past, Jiang Sheng would not have enough to eat and would be beaten. Now, not only does she have food to eat, but she also has her brothers. Her eldest brother is a scholar, her second brother can earn money, her third brother can fight bad guys, her fourth brother can heal the sick and save lives, and her fifth brother is so smart. You are all so amazing.”
“The most useless one is Jiang Sheng, but Jiang Sheng is not sad because Jiang Sheng has her brothers.”
Even in such a helpless moment, Jiang Sheng's eyes shone with hope.
She tilted her head and said wistfully, "As long as my brothers are here, things will always get better."
Yes, is anything worse than the beginning?
Xu Mo, with a broken leg, a dilapidated temple with drafts, several hungry children, buying the coarsest rice and flour, eating vegetable porridge, sleeping on haystacks, and being persecuted by the yamen runners.
We've gotten through those difficult times, so why did we collapse after just one setback?
Xu Mo stared blankly at his sister, then suddenly realized that it wasn't his brothers who saved Jiang Sheng, but rather Jiang Sheng who saved them.
She always carried optimism and aspirations for the future, inspiring each of her brothers, giving them courage, and encouraging them to persevere.
This was true when the results of the last prefectural examination were announced, and it is true now.
"Big brother, you will definitely become the top scholar. When you become a high-ranking official, you will tie up all the bad guys, okay?" Jiang Sheng grabbed his hand.
Xu Mo nodded absentmindedly.
"Big brother is the best." The little girl showed off her perfect teeth.
Xu Mo pressed the back of his tongue against his throat, barely suppressing the sour feeling, and smiled faintly, "Jiang Sheng, you always trust me so much."
So how could the older brother let his younger sister down?
Zheng Ruqian looked up at the cheapest black cloth shoes on Jiang Sheng's feet. He recalled the embroidered shoes adorned with pearls on Miss Jiang's feet. He thought they would look even better on Jiang Sheng.
Fang Heng stared blankly at Jiang Sheng, suddenly remembering his mother's favorite words: "Aheng, you are the most outstanding member of the Fang family. Never underestimate yourself. You will definitely be even more outstanding than your father in the future."
With the support of his parents and the Fang family, he is Young Master Fang. But is being alone destined for mediocrity?
No, that's not true. My mother said that true excellence always comes from within; everything given by the outside world is unreliable.
He used to be Young Master Fang, but from now on, he will be Young Master Fang, and a third brother that his sister can be proud of.
"Jiang Sheng, I will always be with you."
Unexpectedly, the first to speak was the frail Wen Zhiyun.
Chang Yan was slightly surprised.
Jiang Sheng beamed with joy and rushed over to hug the frail Wen Zhiyun, saying, "Fourth Brother is the best. Jiang Sheng and Fourth Brother will never be apart."
And then he casually gave it a big smack.
Wen Zhiyun's long-cherished wish was finally fulfilled. He blushed and smiled shyly.
Everyone has moments of frustration and disappointment, but as long as you cheer up, life can continue to sail forward without hesitation.
Chang Yan's expression was moved. He glanced at the county government office and said calmly, "Actually, things aren't that bad."
As if in response to this statement, a gavel sounded from inside, followed by the resounding voice of the Prefect of Anshui County, "Zhu Zhi can be released, but he must kowtow to Magistrate Xu to apologize and compensate his family. Moreover, he can no longer serve as the Magistrate of Xiyang County."
The people at the entrance cheered, almost clapping in celebration.
The face of the illegitimate son of the Fang family slowly turned red, then slowly darkened.
He looked at the Prefect of Anshui County, with a hint of threat, "Lord Zhu is the younger brother of the Fang family matriarch."
"So what?" The Prefect of Anshui said coldly. "He even dared to make a wrong judgment. I am not at ease entrusting the people of the county to him, and it is also against the law."
"The Fang family wouldn't possibly want to interfere with the laws of the Dayu Dynasty, would they?"
The illegitimate son of the Fang family dared not provoke them any further, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Then we shall follow your judgment, sir."
Under the big tree.
Xu Mo looked dazed.
He understood that the apology and compensation were already the result of the prefect doing his best to secure the situation for him despite the pressure.
But for Zhu Zhi, it was just a matter of losing some money and face; he could still live a carefree life in another place.
Fang Heng suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "I'll go kill him."
Since a proper trial cannot be reached, let him die a violent death in the streets.
“No.” Xu Mo shook his head.
Although he hated Zhu Zhi, he was still rational. "If Zhu Zhi dies, the Fang family will only seek revenge on us. If they find out about Lao San because of this, it will be a loss."
Who would have thought that the third brother was actually a member of the Fang family, and had been constantly sought after and persecuted by his own family.
In order to conceal Lao San's whereabouts, Zhu Zhi could not kill him.
“But…” Fang Heng wanted to say something more.
Chang Yan interrupted him, glancing at Wen Zhiyun, "What's the point of living? Some people are better off dead than alive, right, Fourth Brother?"
The whole family was stunned.
Only Wen Zhiyun suddenly realized that he had seen Doctor Wu Suowei handling some herbs at the clinic a few days ago.
At that time, Wen Zhiyun stared at it curiously for a long time.
Wu Suowei brazenly showed it to him, but wouldn't let him get close. "Be careful, this is ragweed I found deep in the mountains. Its pollen will make you unbearably itchy, and your skin will fester and heal, heal and fester again."
It's actually a severe allergy that's difficult to treat.
Wen Zhiyun was awakened by the long banquet and hurriedly returned to the clinic.
Before long, he returned carrying a small piece of oil paper wrapped in paper.
“Dr. Wu is a good person, he gave me so much.” Wen Zhiyun said with a worried look, “But this pollen needs to be inhaled through the mouth and nose to be effective.”
