Chapter 48 The Disfigured Woman
Guo Shaoan said, "That being said, Young Master, we have more important things to do. I don't agree with you wasting too much time here for him."
The bearded man thought about the important mission his father had given him. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "How's the woman we found at the foot of the cliff?"
"Ever since he found out she was disfigured, he's been acting a little crazy. Sometimes he's smashing things, sometimes he's yelling about killing that bitch."
Guo Shaoan carefully glanced at his young master's expression and said, "As far as I know, the bitch she was talking about is her cousin, Jiang Tangtang, Lu Shiyan's wife."
A look of joy finally appeared on the bearded man's face. "Yes, all this effort has paid off! Go tell her that as long as she listens to my instructions, I can give her the sacred medicine from the Divine Doctor Valley to heal her facial injuries and restore her appearance to its original state."
"Yes, young master." Guo Shaoan kowtowed and then strode out of the room.

As the sun was setting, the team finally got organized and set out again.
This time, the children all said sensibly, "Daddy, you take the car! We'll walk."
Although the donkey was found, the donkey cart was broken and could no longer be used for passengers.
So Lu Shiyan and his men made some simple modifications to the ox cart and let it be pulled by a donkey.
But an ox cart is not as big as a donkey cart, and what's more, the things on the two carts are combined into one cart, so the space for people to sit is greatly reduced.
Madam Lu also said, "There's only one car now, so Yan'er and Li'er can ride in it together!"
In order to protect Lu Su today, Lu Shili was hit on the leg by a rock rolling down the mountain.
The old injuries have not yet healed and new injuries have appeared. If you don’t pay attention to maintenance, you may become a cripple.
Whenever Mr. Lu thought that one of his grandsons had become crippled and that another might also become crippled, he felt so heartbroken that he could not breathe.
"I don't need it!" Lu Shiyan refused without a second thought. "It's just a minor injury. Let my second brother and grandmother ride in the ox cart!"
Old Madam Lu fell down after being pushed by Chen. Although Xue Banxian said that she was not seriously injured, she was old and Lu Shiyan did not dare to be careless.
Several people pushed each other, each wanting the other to ride in the ox cart.
Jiang Tangtang couldn't bear to watch this, so she pulled Lu Shiyan into the car and said, "Just sit still! Don't let the wound rupture again. If it ruptures again, Doctor Xue won't have any medicine to bandage you."
Seeing Lu Shiyan's disapproval, Jiang Tangtang added, "I know you have a strong sense of responsibility and care about Grandma. But if you don't recover quickly, what will we do if we encounter danger again?"
Thinking about the series of assassinations, Lu Shiyan finally did not refuse Jiang Tangtang's kindness and obediently got in the car.
Although Lu Shili's leg was seriously injured, he was not injured anywhere else and was in much better condition than Lu Shiyan, so the job of driving the carriage was given to him.
The cow was injured by a rock and although it couldn't pull the cart, it wasn't dead. Jiang Tangtang couldn't bear to kill it and wanted to keep it to see if its injuries would improve. She took the initiative to take care of the cow and secretly took water and grass from the space to feed it when no one was paying attention.
"Mom, will it be okay?" Lu Tiantian looked at the wound on the cow's head and thought about how much blood her father had lost. She was very worried.
"Don't worry! Everything will be fine!" Jiang Tangtang patted her head soothingly. "Can you walk? Do you want me to carry you?"
"No need, I can walk by myself!" Lu Tiantian said with her chin raised.
"What about you? Can you walk? Do you want to bring the stroller back so I can push you?" Jiang Tangtang looked at her two sons and said.
Since the younger sister could leave, the two older brothers naturally refused to admit defeat.
Lu Jingcheng said: "I can walk by myself, no need to push the cart."
Lu Jingheng also immediately straightened up and said, "I'll go by myself too."
"Let's go!" Jiang Tangtang let the children walk in front of her, and she led the cow and walked behind them.
Today, not only the prisoners, but also many police officers were injured by falling rocks. This time, the journey was much slower than usual. Jiang Tangtang and the other children were able to keep up with the group by walking slowly.
They walked until it was completely dark before Liang Jiamin announced that they would set up camp and rest.
The camping place tonight was still in the wild. When setting up camp, Liang Jiamin came to find her specially and said that considering her family members were injured, she didn't need to help the officials cook tonight, and then she borrowed Xue Banxian casually.
Jiang Tangtang knew that his sympathy for her was fake, and his true intention was to borrow from Xue Banxian.
From what happened today, Liang Jiamin could see that although this old man did not sell himself to Jiang Tangtang like He Qiuniang and the others, and seemed extremely dissatisfied with Jiang Tangtang and often quarreled with her, but at the critical moment, Xue Banxian stood on the front line with Jiang Tangtang.
Xue Banxian did not treat any of those who were at odds with Jiang Tangtang.
Originally, Liang Jiamin treated Jiang Tangtang differently because of their business partnership, but now because of Xue Banxian, she is even more polite to Jiang Tangtang.
Jiang Tangtang was naturally happy and relaxed because she didn't have to rely on an official to cook for her.
However, in order to prevent burns, one stove was put into the space, and the other stove was damaged by rocks rolling down the mountain.
Cooking at home at this time is not as convenient as before.
Fortunately, although the stove was out of use, the iron pot was still there. Jiang Tangtang ordered two servants to build the stove and wash the vegetables, while he took a bucket to the stream to fetch water.
In the past, Lu Shiyan and Lu Shili were mostly responsible for fetching water, so she could only secretly replace the water in the water bag with the spiritual spring in the space.
Both of them were injured today, so it was difficult for them to do the heavy work, which made it easier for her to do some small movements.
When he reached the stream, he used his clothes as a cover to fill the bucket with the spiritual spring water in the space.
When we get back, we first pour out some of it to feed the cows and use the other part for cooking.
Jiang Tangtang cooked two large pots of meat porridge.
After leaving a portion for his family to eat, the rest was distributed to the prisoners injured by the falling rocks.
Looking at Jiang Tangtang, Liang Jiamin pursed her lips and pondered for a moment, then suddenly said to Li Dayong, "When you arrive in Yazhou, go and greet the transfer officer you're familiar with. When you divide up the official villages, try to be more considerate of the people from the Lu family's main branch."
Li Dayong was so shocked that he almost dropped the bowl in his hand. "Boss, are you kidding?"
Liang Jiamin asked, "Do I look like I'm joking?"
Li Dayong was puzzled and said, "Even if she is doing business with us and is considered a half-partner, there is no need for you to use your connections for her!"
Those handover officers are not easy to deal with. If you ask them to help take care of someone, you will owe them a big favor.
Owing favors is more troublesome than owing money, and you don’t know how to pay it back in the future.
I haven't even started earning any money yet, and I've already paid so much...
Could it be that the boss has taken a fancy to that woman?
