Han Wanying returned home and started preparing dinner. She planned to have dinner with the elders in the cowshed tonight.
Just like before, Han Wanying first sent a message to Duan Fanglin, asking them not to cook, and then she went to the cowshed with the food she had cooked.
The atmosphere of the dinner was still very good, but when Duan Hongmin sent Han Wanying back, he asked her about her recent affairs in a roundabout way.
Han Wanying looked at the worry in Duan Hongmin's eyes and replied with a smile: "Uncle Duan, don't worry about me, I'm fine, don't worry."
Duan Hongmin sighed and said with concern: "You are such a stubborn girl. If we can't go back, then we can't go back. When we came here, we never thought about going back alive. Now we are very content with this kind of life. You have done enough for us. What would we do if something happened to you because of us?"
When Han Wanying heard Duan Hongmin's words, she felt helpless. No matter how she assured them, these elders did not dare to trust her.
Seeing this, Han Wanying could only repeat what she had said before to Duan Hongmin: "Relax, I will protect myself well. Besides, it's too late for you to stop me now. I have already done half of what I should and shouldn't do. I won't give up halfway. Besides, how does Uncle Duan know that I won't succeed?"
Duan Hongmin said: "I can't convince you, uncle just hopes you can promise me one thing."
Han Wanying asked, "You say."
"You must ensure your own safety. Don't worry about us if necessary." Duan Hongmin said to Han Wanying in a serious tone.
Han Wanying also nodded solemnly, "I promise you, I will definitely protect my own safety."
Then, without waiting for Duan Hongmin to say anything, he said directly: "Okay, Uncle Duan, you should go back soon. They must be worried about you for not going back for so long. Don't worry about me."
"By the way, I put some food in the cellar. Remember to come and get it after you finish eating."
Duan Hongmin nodded, waved at Han Wanying, and turned away.
Han Wanying returned home, rested for a while, and then rushed to the place in the county where she was going to trade with Lao Wu.
Unexpectedly, just as I put the food away, I heard a low voice coming from the door.
"Sister, is that you?"
Han Wanying recognized that this was the younger brother that Lao Wu was most proud of. It seemed that Lao Wu had something to ask her, and he even arranged someone to watch over her here. However, he was sensible enough not to come in and check directly, Han Wanying thought to herself.
Seeing this, Han Wanying went to open the door for the younger brother.
When the younger brother saw that it was indeed Han Wanying, his eyes lit up with joy.
"It's really your elder sister!"
Han Wanying asked calmly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
The younger brother nodded quickly and said, "Sister, it's been a while since you've delivered any food. The people above are making a fuss and they insist on getting the goods you've given them. My fifth brother has given away all his stock. If you don't come again, we don't know what to do."
In fact, I haven't finished speaking. After the few times Han Wanying asked them to investigate, the scope of her identity has been very small. However, Lao Wu ordered his men not to investigate, so Han Wanying's identity has never been removed.
But this time the pressure from above was too great. Although Lao Wu still forbade them to look for Han Wanying, several of his men had already made up their minds that if Han Wanying didn't show up again, they would have no choice but to look for her.
If Han Wanying blames him later, it has nothing to do with Lao Wu.
But fortunately Han Wanying came.
When Han Wanying heard this, she looked at the younger brother with inquiring eyes.
The younger brother also felt Han Wanying's gaze, so he took the initiative to explain: "We sent people to investigate. There is an elderly person in this family who has been ill and has not recovered. The doctor said that she was lucky to live for a day. But after eating the food you gave her, her health inexplicably improved. Even the doctor was surprised. He said that the old lady's health is slowly getting better. Although it is not obvious, there is still a trend of improvement."
"In fact, at the beginning, these people didn't realize it was a problem with the food. But after they changed the food, the old lady's health deteriorated again, and then they realized it was a problem with the food."
"After the man of the house found out about this, he bought a large amount of rice from us and gave it as a gift to a seriously ill patient in his family, saying that this rice had miraculous effects and could bring people back to life. His elderly mother was on the verge of death, but after eating this rice, her health improved and she was able to get out of bed. In this way, the miraculous effects of this rice spread more and more. Although ordinary people may not know about it, many people in higher positions know about it."
"After Fifth Brother sent someone to inquire about this, he announced that there was a purchase limit. Each person could only purchase one, and no more. Even so, it was still manageable, and we still had some left. However, there has been no supply for a while, and the higher-ups are getting anxious, so they sent people to put pressure on us and want to know your identity directly."
I was afraid that Han Wanying might misunderstand me, so I quickly added, "Don't worry, big sister, we definitely didn't betray you. We didn't say a word about your identity."
Han Wanying was not worried about this, but she thought of what the man had just said. She still knew the amount of grain planted in her spiritual field. Although it might really have some effect on regulating the body, it might only have a greater effect on people who were about to die or seriously ill, but it would definitely not have the effect of bringing the dead back to life.
So, she said directly: "Impossible, how could this food have such an effect?"
Upon hearing this, the younger brother nodded in agreement. With a strange look in his eyes, he said to Han Wanying, "Yes, this has no effect at all. It took Fifth Brother to send me to investigate for a long time before I found out. This man, ever since he used this to get connections at the top, his official career has been going smoothly. How could he give up after tasting such sweetness?"
"In fact, his mother died two months later. However, in order to cover up the incident, he secretly transported her back to his hometown and buried her directly. If this family hadn't found it troublesome and hired one of our brothers to work as an assistant, we wouldn't have been able to find out about this. You don't know that this man was so afraid of being discovered that he didn't even dare to erect a tombstone for his mother."
Han Wanying understood after hearing this. In fact, the people in power must have discovered that this grain was not a medicine that could bring people back to life, but they must have discovered that this grain was good for the body. These people in power were not short of money, and they naturally could not let go of such a good thing. They were also grateful to the person who first brought up this matter, and would also want to help him more. As a result, that person's official career became smoother and smoother.
