Chapter 78 The Daughter in Trouble

"Little Wan, does your mother know Baisheng's wife?"

"We are acquaintances, I guess..."

Jiang Wan briefly recounted how the two met. The old village chief's expression changed again and again, and then he looked shocked.

"Baisheng has a baby?! Why didn't he tell me?!"

The old village chief's voice was a bit loud, and Sun Shi only reacted after hearing it and immediately rushed over to explain.

"Don't be angry, village chief. The head of the family didn't tell anyone because the fortune teller told him not to. He said that if too many people in the tribe knew about his existence, it would only do harm, so he kept it a secret."

After Sun finished speaking, she hurried to ask her mother-in-law to come out.

Facing the old village chief, she felt very nervous for some reason.

Soon Grandma Jinhua came out, holding a baby in her arms. The baby was white, chubby and very cute.

After not seeing him for a month, the little fat boy seemed to have grown a little bit. The old village chief was very happy to see him.

"Good, good, good! Baisheng has a successor!"

The old village chief felt around his body but couldn't find anything good to give, so he took out twenty cents as a gift.

"Golden Flower, please don't give up."

"Twenty cents and you're still unwilling to give it up, village chief, do you think I'm a landlord?"

Grandma Jinhua had a kind face. She chatted with the old village chief about family matters before asking about Xiaoshan and Jiang Wan, mother and daughter, in the yard.

"That boy looks a bit like Dahai. He must be Dahai's kid. Who are the two people next to him? Why don't I have any impression of them at all?"

"They are new to the village. You have never seen them before, so of course you have no impression of them."

The old village chief briefly introduced the Yin family and talked about the serious business of today.

Upon hearing that the stone house in the village was finally bought by someone, Grandma Jinhua was very happy and immediately asked her daughter-in-law to find her son to write the deed.

My son is working right now and it's inconvenient for him to come back, but he works as an accountant, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to take some time to write two deeds and put his fingerprints on them.

Sun left with the mission and returned with the deed half an hour later.

Yin Huaixi took a look and found that the agreed ten taels of silver had turned into nine taels of silver.

"This……"

"Doctor Yin, this is actually the lowest price in the master's mind."

Sun's family was wealthy and didn't care about the one or two taels of silver. If one or two taels of silver could make friends with a skilled doctor, then the money would be worth it.

Besides, the fifty cents thank-you gift for my son’s matter last time was too little, so this time is just the right time to make up for it.

Yin Huaixi accepted the favor and wrote down her name neatly.

In this way, the small stone house and the land underneath were all under Yin Huaixi's name.

This is the first property for mother and daughter in this world!!

Jiang Wan was so happy that after the contract was settled, she took her mother to the market to weigh meat and buy vegetables.

I must cook a delicious meal to celebrate today. Then I will find someone to start building the wall in the afternoon.

After buying the meat, the mother and daughter went to the pier to take a boat without much shopping. They had just sat down and had not even had a cup of tea when someone else got on the boat.

The person who got on the boat was a girl, who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old but looked listless, with a tired face and dark circles under her eyes.

Her family must be well off, as the fabrics of her clothes are not what ordinary people wear.

Jiang Wan glanced at her twice and then stopped paying attention to her.

After the boat started, the girl opposite him breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to stare blankly.

She was in a daze, but her eyes were looking at Jiang Wan, which was creepy.

Jiang Wan simply sat over there so that she couldn't see it.

Only when she sat closer did she realize that the girl next to her was simply a warrior.

It was such a hot day, but she was wearing at least four layers of clothes, all of which were tight around the neck.

Jiang Wan felt hot just by looking at it, and was thankful again that she was dressed as a village girl and only needed to wear a coarse cloth dress.

"Why do you always look at me?"

Qin Yue immediately became alert. Could it be that this girl had seen him before?

"Do you know me?"

Jiang Wan shook her head.

"I don't know you. I just saw that you were sweating a lot and wearing so many clothes, and I felt that it was not easy for you."

Qin Yue was silent.

She tried very hard to hold back from crying in front of strangers.

Even outsiders can see that her life is not easy, so how could her mother not see it?

No, she saw it, but for the sake of the official's wife's face, nothing else matters.

Qin Yue sniffed and leaned against the window to get some sea breeze to cool down a little.

I'm so jealous of the girl next to me. Her sleeves are so short and she's only wearing one. It must be very comfortable...

If only my father hadn’t become a county official…

She didn't speak again during the journey, and Jiang Wan didn't have the habit of talking to strangers. She leaned against the wall of the boat and dozed off for a while before she heard her mother calling her to get off the boat.

Coincidentally, as soon as they got off the boat, the girl who was wearing a lot of clothes also got off.

Moreover, as they were walking home, the girl followed not far behind them, neither too far nor too close, and it did not look like she was going to the village to look for someone.

Jiang Wan couldn't help but run over to ask her.

"Sister, do you have any relatives in the village? What's their name? I can go and ask for you."

Qin Yue grabbed the hem of her clothes in embarrassment and shook her head, saying no.

She had followed him off the boat on impulse, just as she had fled from her home on impulse.

Without a destination, she didn't know where she could go.

"You didn't come to the village to look for someone... Then you got off the wrong boat?"

“No, not really…”

Qin Yuezhang blushed and stammered that he had run away from home and got off the boat on impulse.

Jiang Wan: “…”

Ran away from home!!

This girl is really brave, running away from the city alone and taking a boat so far. What if it wasn't her and A Niang on the boat today, but some bad guy?

Jiang Wan was scared for her.

"It's too unsafe for you to do this. You should hurry back by boat. Your family must be very worried by now."

As soon as she was told to go back, Qin Yue couldn't help but start to wipe away tears. She took out a dime and handed it to Jiang Wan.

"I can't go back! I'll give you money and you can take me in for a few days, okay?"

Jiang Wan was most afraid of girls crying, so she almost agreed. But she soon thought of the tricky part.

This girl is obviously from a wealthy family, and her family might even be rich and powerful. If I really take her in for a few days, her family will be furious. They won't be able to beat or scold their own children, so who will bear the wrath?

It's okay if you meet someone who is reasonable, but if you meet someone who is unreasonable, you might be charged with trafficking in women and children.

It will be cool by then.

This girl was forced to escape from home, and it was obvious that she was incapable of making her own decisions, so of course we couldn't expect her to save people.

Therefore, it is better to stay away from such potentially dangerous people.

Jiang Wan is rather selfish, she won't risk her family's safety.

"Sister, our family was just exiled here. Our status is sensitive, so we dare not take in outsiders. If you really want to stay in the village for a few days, I will take you to see the village chief, and you can discuss it with the village chief yourself."

Qin Yue was stunned.

This little girl doesn't want money...
