Chapter 111
The clinic suddenly became quiet. The two officers walked in through the crowd, and just now...
The clinic suddenly became quiet.
The two officers walked in through the crowd, and the noise just now seemed to have disappeared.
Xiao Yue turned around and looked at Xiao Lian, who was also a little stunned.
“I, I am…”
Fortunately, Xiao Lian stopped crying after Xiao Yue and others arrived. She also had the strength to speak and immediately stood up to respond.
The female official glanced from the three Wang family members to Xiao Lian and said calmly, "You are the fifth place winner of this Zhihuai Festival. The reward will be distributed by the two of us. Can you take it now?"
"It's convenient." Xiao Lian's voice became much clearer when she heard this.
The officer nodded, took out a box containing silver and handed it to her.
"The total reward is five hundred taels, plus a one-time privilege to purchase any bowls, plates, or utensils in the city for free. The time limit is ten days, so keep it safe."
Xiao Yue saw that Xiao Lian's eyes finally brightened up a little, so he walked over and took the thing in his hand.
But just as she grabbed the thing, Wang's father, who had been thrown to the ground by Sun Wen, suddenly rushed over, rolling and crawling.
Xiao Yue's eyes turned cold.
However, the officer was quicker and retreated with Xiao Lian.
No one thought that the Wang family would dare to take action even with the officials present. What was even more unexpected was that -
"My lord, please!"
The king's father rushed over and started kowtowed, crying and shouting as he kowtowed.
"My son Wang Wei is innocent! He is just young and ignorant. He really didn't mean it. He is usually so well-behaved. He must have learned bad things from this little girl... I, I don't want these five hundred taels! Can you please let Ah Wei out of prison? Please!"
Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother immediately knelt down.
"Sir! Please open your eyes and talk to the city lord. The city lord must have given the wrong order! As long as A Wei can come out, we can do anything! Don't even mention not wanting the five hundred taels. We can even let Wang Xiaolian, that bitch, serve you tea and water like a slave!"
There were gasps from all around, but no one else spoke.
Because this scene is so shocking!
The surroundings fell into an eerie silence, and Xiao Yue felt a great deal of mockery in his heart.
I'm not angry anymore. I can't get angry anymore.
Because she finally realized that after saying so much before, this family didn't want to listen, but simply didn't understand.
In that case, why waste time?
Xiao Yue walked to Xiao Lian's side.
"Wang Xiaolian!" But at this time, old man Wang came over with trembling legs and shouted angrily: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and return the money from the government, kneel down with your parents and admit your mistake, and let them return your brother to you!"
Xiao Yue glanced at him, then looked at Xiao Lian, who was silent with her head down and her knuckles white, and spoke slowly and coldly.
"You, Old Deng, don't want to kneel down and kowtow, do you? Go ahead and kowtow. Who can kowtow better than the three of you? It would be best if you kowtow away all the blessings in your family, so as to avoid disaster for everyone present."
This one sentence not only stopped Old Man Wang's actions, but also stopped Wang's father and mother, who were bleeding from their heads.
Xiao Yue turned a blind eye and pushed the box in Xiao Lian's arms a little closer so that she could hold it more firmly.
At the same time, he said to the two officers, "I wonder what the fate of those who disturb the streets and provoke trouble will be?"
"You will be confined to the dungeon for five days and fined silver." The female officer answered quickly.
Xiao Yue nodded in understanding, glanced at the apprentice of the clinic and said, "You two also saw what happened just now. These three people started the trouble first, and we took action later to protect ourselves. They even questioned the orders of the city lord and despised the rewards distributed by the government... No matter how you look at it, their crimes are even more serious, right?"
"Yes!" This time the apprentice of the clinic responded promptly: "They were the ones who rushed in and caused trouble first. They didn't treat patients or prescribe medicine. They messed up my place. The adults should make the decision!"
There was a chorus of approval all around.
"That's right, these three people were the first to take action!"
"I came here to get some medicine, and it's because of how long they delayed me!"
"Hurry up!"
The three members of the Wang family were panicked. How could they have expected this result?
"Then please take them back and let them repent." Xiao Yue sneered and said politely before pulling Xiao Lian's hand.
Su Xiaoxiao and Sun Wen looked at each other and followed their steps.
This clinic has a small courtyard at the entrance, but it is not far from the door. Just as Xiao Yue and his group were about to step out, the voice of Old Man Wang came from behind them.
"Wang Xiaolian! Today is the day of suffering for our Wang family. We should all share the joys and sorrows! If you dare to leave, you will no longer be a member of our Wang family. You must think it through!"
Xiao Yue rolled his eyes but kept walking.
How come we don’t think that when we are sharing the good times, we have to share the bad times as well?
But in the next second, Xiao Yue felt a pause in his hands and turned back to look at Xiao Lian who was slowing down.
She slowed down, then stopped completely.
Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment. Because Xiao Lian lowered her head, she couldn't see what the other person was feeling. She could only see a tear dripping on the box.
"What's wrong?" Fang Sanhong and the others also stopped and looked at Xiao Lian who was standing there.
Xiao Yue turned around and saw two officers holding Wang's father and mother on the left and right, with Old Man Wang in the middle.
When Old Man Wang saw Xiao Lian stop, he snorted coldly.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Xiao Lian raised her head and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I don't recognize you either. From now on, my dessert shop will no longer be called Wang Wei Dessert, but Xiao Lian Dessert!"
…
Lotus Lake.
The scenery of the lake and mountains during the day is clearer than that at night. The blue sky is reflected in the water, dotted with pink and green lotus flowers and leaves, which is breathtakingly beautiful.
Xiao Yue and his group were large, so they rented two small boats and soon arrived at the place with the most lotus flowers in the lake.
Several people were chatting along the way, and it was even more lively at this moment.
Xiao Yue simply asked the boatman to stop, letting the boat sway gently in the water and enjoying the beautiful scenery here.
After looking for a while, she turned back and said, "Why don't we come over here? It's quite cool."
Xiao Lian, who was sitting aside in a daze, was stunned, smiled shyly and shook her head.
Seeing this, Xiao Yue didn't say much. He breathed in the lightly fragrant air around him and relaxed.
Fang Sanhong, Lu Ran and Xu Qingwu are all on this ship.
However, Xu Qingwu had been held by Fang Sanhong to avoid any accidents. At this moment, she reached out and poked Xiao Lian, then took out some pastries from her bag.
"Sister, please eat."
Xiao Lian looked over and took it with surprise and delight: "Thank you!"
Then her eyes noticed the small bag beside Xu Qingwu. It was light pink and embroidered with flowers and rabbits. The level of detail showed how much care the person who made the bag put into it.
Xiao Lian pursed her lips and ate the pastry, her eyes suddenly brightening.
“It’s delicious!”
“And this!”
Xu Qingwu was not stingy in sharing and continued to take out all the snacks that Fang Sanhong had packed for her on this trip.
First give some to Xiao Lian, then share it with everyone.
Everyone looked at her with doting and fondness, and said thank you when they took the gift.
Xiao Yue also took out some water and handed it to Xiao Lian, but she suddenly said something while eating.
"...They had only taken my brother to Yueting Buffet before, and they didn't expect that my first time eating there would be under these circumstances."
Everyone looked over.
Xiao Lian forced a smile: "Thank you sisters today. I, I won't say anything, but if it weren't for you, I really wouldn't have the courage to come out."
She might be trapped in the clinic, or even just the clinic.
Xiao Yue looked calm: "Thanking us is secondary, the first thing you should do is thank yourself."
"That's right." Fang Sanhong smiled and said, "Xiao Yue often says that people must first learn to put themselves first. Only when you are good will the people around you be good."
Lu Ran nodded in agreement.
Another boat was nearby, and Su Xiaoxiao, Sun Wen and the sisters on it looked over when they heard what was said.
Among them, Su Xiaoxiao said: "Xiao Lian, you are very brave today! What you did is the right thing. If they dare to come to you in the future, just come to us directly. We will support you!"
Su Xiaoxiao was also trapped once, and only after she got out of it did she realize how bright and brilliant the road ahead was.
The person who led her out was Xiao Yue, and of course, herself.
Sun Wen: "Xiao Lian, what are your plans for the future? Where are you going to open a dessert shop?"
Hua Jinjin: "We will definitely go to support you!"
Hua Cancan: “That’s right!”
Xiao Yue saw the atmosphere was improving and knew that Xiao Lian's attention had been diverted. He smiled and looked away, but he did not expect to meet Sanhong's eyes.
He raised an eyebrow at her, looking relaxed and contented.
Xiao Yue understood what she meant and couldn't help but chuckle.
On one side of the boat, Xiao Lian responded to everyone's words one by one, and finally answered Sun Wen's question seriously.
"...I plan to open a dessert shop somewhere far away from them. The housing prices on South Street are too high. West Street should be better. I will go and look for a suitable one in the next few days. It would be best if I can open it before the customers in the city leave."
At least I can earn a little bit, and...
Xiao Lian scratched her head. "The customer flow to West Street is all driven by Yueting's self-help. It's better than South Street. I thought it would be great if one or two people could come to buy from me."
It’s not shameful to take advantage of customers!
Xiao Yue smiled and said, "That's a good idea. As long as we do it well, people will come to patronize us. If you need help, you can always come to us."
Xiao Lian nodded "hmm", looking at her with admiration and respect.
"Wait a minute, I remember!" Su Xiaoxiao said at this time: "Cheng Min told me before that the tea stall opposite us was converted into a noodle shop, and then it was taken back by the government. It has not been transferred out yet. If Xiao Lian needs it, I can ask for you?"
Xiao Yue raised an eyebrow when he heard this. He didn't expect that the shop would end up being taken over by an acquaintance.
Looking at Xiao Lian again, she exclaimed happily, "Really? I really need it! Thank you... um... sister?"
The words suddenly got stuck.
Su Xiaoxiao and the others then remembered that they had not introduced themselves yet, and they all laughed out loud.
"My name is Su Xiaoxiao, you can just call me Sister Xiaoxiao! I will definitely ask for you and give you an answer tomorrow!"
"Thank you, Sister Xiaoxiao!"
"My name is Sun Wen! Then we will be on opposite sides of each other and can play together often!"
"Okay, thank you Sister Awen!"
"I am Hua Jinjin, and she is my sister..."
Every time Xiao Lian introduced someone, she called out sweetly, and the dimples on her cheeks became deeper.
Fang Sanhong briefly introduced herself at the end, and then thought to herself: I'm afraid no one would dislike the atmosphere of Yueting Self-service.
And the person who brought all this about is now...
"Xiao Wu, come and put it on!"
Xiao Yue picked two lotus leaves and used them to protect Xu Qingwu and himself from the sun. It was so cool.
Then she picked one for each person, and the people on the two boats formed a beautiful landscape.
Not long after.
Xiao Yue lay on the bow and watched everyone peeling lotus seeds and eating them. She didn't like them and said lazily, "Don't eat too much. We still have Buddha Jumps Over the Wall waiting for us tonight."
Everyone looked over.
Xiao Yue curved her lips and said, "Xiao Lian, come too. You can sleep at my place tonight."
Xiao Lian was stunned. Seeing everyone excited about Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, her eyes secretly turned red and she nodded vigorously.
…
As the sun was about to set, a laughter like silver bells rang out over Yanting Bridge, and a group of people came over, each with a lotus leaf on their head.
Xiao Yue was also among them, humming a tune. When he raised his eyes, he saw a figure in his yard and stopped in his tracks.
The others noticed it, too.
The man turned around and looked straight at Xiao Yue, with the setting sun shining on his back, giving him a vague warmth.
