Chapter 246: Ying Zhilin is powerful again
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Wen Yan asked.
"It's me, Ying Zhilin."
"What's up?"
"Uncle Tian is here and waiting for you outside."
"I'll be right there." Wen Yan responded, speeding up and moving more gently, fearing that making any noise would arouse suspicion.
Pei'er frowned: "I clearly closed the gate, how did he get in?"
Wen Yan left behind a jade pendant and a bag of unmarked gold leaves.
They locked the rest into the box, pushed it under the bed together, and covered it with a sheet so that there was no trace. Then Pei'er wanted to open the door.
"Wait." Wen Yan stopped her and stuffed the jade pendant and gold leaves into her hands. "These are for you."
"Give it to me?" Pei'er reacted.
"Yes. You've worked hard on this trip with me. You can keep the jade pendant as a dowry, and use the gold leaves to make jewelry for your mother."
Pei'er refused again and again, "I don't want it. I am your maid. It is my duty to follow you."
Wen Yan: “Even if she is a maid, there should be clear rewards and punishments.
What's more, I don't treat you as a servant, I train you as my right-hand man. As long as you follow me well, I will have a meal and you will definitely have a soup."
"Miss..." Pei'er's eyes immediately turned red and tears fell.
Wen Yan patted her furry head: "Hurry up and wipe your tears, there are people waiting outside."
"Yeah." Pei'er quickly wiped away her tears and went out with Wen Yan.
Ying Zhilin was still waiting outside the door.
Seeing Wen Yan, he immediately reported the situation: "The house has been bought, and in two days, the second aunt and her family will move out."
When passing by the Moon Gate, Wen Yan took a special look at the bolt of the Moon Gate.
Ying Zhilin explained, "This door bolt was only fixed with glue; they forgot to hammer in the nails."
So that's how it is.
I'll ask Brother Dahu to bolt the door later.
Uncle Tian brought fourteen people this time.
It was discovered that most of them were missing arms and legs, and one person even lost both legs and needed to be carried by others to walk.
He was extremely thin, his eyes were dull, and he seemed to have lost the desire to live.
Uncle Tian said, "They were all soldiers under my adoptive father. They are absolutely trustworthy."
Wen Yan nodded.
After understanding the situation one by one, Wen Yan discovered that most of them were ordinary soldiers, and only three of them knew some martial arts.
Wen Yan then asked these three people to be guards.
She brought back so many treasures, and my second aunt and her family are moving in too, so we have to be more cautious.
Wen Yan arranged the rest of the people in different positions according to their physical conditions, and also made some changes to the tools.
The transformation tools could not be completed in a short time, so Wen Yan asked him to settle down first, have a good rest for a few days, and recuperate.
Wen Yan arranged them in the west wing.
There was no need for Wen Yan to do it herself. Ying Zhilin would first find her second aunt and ask her to vacate the room.
"No!" Second Aunt retorted loudly.
"No? Why? You are moving out the day after tomorrow, so these two days won't make a difference." Ying Zhilin's tone was calm, but it made the second aunt feel scared.
"I...we'll just move, you...don't scare me." After saying that, the second aunt went to pack up her things in a dejected manner.
Wen Yan smiled at him in thanks, and went to discuss with Uncle Tian about sending someone to Huaying Town tomorrow.
at the same time.
At Ying Dasha's house.
Xianglian received a private reply from Aunt Liu and returned home excitedly.
It was quiet here, as the mother-in-law, son, daughter-in-law and grandson were not here.
She was so excited that she wanted to talk to someone.
She went back to her bedroom to find her silly husband.
However, just as she reached the door, she saw her silly husband putting his elbow into a hemp rope noose.
"Husband!" Xianglian shouted and rushed over.
She pushed Ying Dasha away and asked sternly, "What are you doing? Why are you doing this?"
Ying Dasha's lower body was paralyzed, and Xianglian pushed him hard, causing him to fall backwards and hit the back of his head on the wooden cabinet. He cried out in pain.
"Wow! It hurts! It hurts so much! My dear, it hurts so much!" Ying Dasha cried loudly and struggled to throw himself into Xianglian's arms.
However, due to weakness in his lower limbs, he could only struggle on the spot.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Are you going to leave me alone?" Xianglian was heartbroken and rushed over to hug Ying Dasha.
Ying Dasha cried and said, "They all say I'm a waste, a burden to my wife, our children and grandchildren. Dasha doesn't want to be a waste. Dasha doesn't want to hurt my family."
"Of course not, we have found a way to make a living. The scholar's wife wants me, and I will learn from the cleansing lady and get a salary of one or two taels of silver a month.
Do you know how much one tael of silver is worth? The money you spent on medical treatment was only thirty taels, and I earned it back in just over two years.
Our lives will get better and better in the future. Please believe me, please don’t leave me alone.”
As Xianglian spoke, tears began to flow.
When Ying Dasha saw her crying, he was so panicked that he didn't know what to do.
Sometimes he wiped her tears, sometimes he blew her breath.
"Xianglian, is what you just said true? Did the scholar's wife really ask you to go to work?" Xianglian's mother-in-law came back at some point and asked excitedly.
"Yes." Xianglian wiped her tears and nodded. "Originally, I was too old to be suitable. However, after the scholar learned about our family situation, she showed some mercy and allowed me to study with her.
As long as I pass the test, I can stay and work in her shop."
"That's great, there is hope for our family. Xianglian, you must study hard, okay?" A family that was about to break up saw hope again.
How could Grandma Xianglian not be excited and happy?
She bowed three times in the direction of Wen Yan's house, muttering something.
Wen Yan's home.
My second aunt and her family tidied up the house and vacated it.
In the room.
My second uncle frowned and said unhappily, "You really agreed to move out?"
"I don't want to move either. But what can I do? Didn't you see Ying Zhilin's expression? He looked like he was about to eat something. Do you dare to go against him?"
Second uncle touched himself and looked away guiltily.
If he dared to resist, he would have said it long ago and would not have waited until now. He would only encourage Ying Qing behind the scenes.
Ying Qing snorted unhappily: "Why is he so proud of Ying Zhilin?
If he had not been adopted by my mother, he would still be being tortured by that old witch, Mrs. Qiao.
He didn't dare to contradict Mrs. Qiao, but he dared to boss me around.
Bah! What a scholar, he is nothing but a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong. "
"Hmph, let's just be patient for a few more days. After the Autumn Examination, let Ying Zhilin pick two successful candidates from Wutong Academy to be our sons-in-law. With a son-in-law who is an official, we will rise to prominence.
Will you still be able to look after these dilapidated courtyards?"
The second uncle immediately rubbed his shoulders and legs to please him: "Madam is still far-sighted."
With a "bang".
The door was knocked open from the outside.
The Jiang family's youngest daughter rushed in: "Mom, I have good news to tell you!"
