After Yubao felt much more comfortable, he lay directly on Li Jingchen's arms and fell asleep.
He put him down gently, but he started crying as soon as he was put down, so he had to pick him up again to comfort him. Li Jingchen wanted to sit down, but Yubao was like an alarm bell, and he started crying as soon as he sat down, no matter whether Li Jingchen sat down gently or quickly, no matter whether he sat on the bed or on a stool, it didn't work.
After coaxing the baby for half an hour, his arms were sore, and Jiang Tuantuan finally woke up. He turned around and saw Li Jingchen coaxing the baby.
"When did you come back?"
Li Jingchen said aggrievedly: "Two hours ago."
"Oh, you haven't slept yet, right? Give Yubao to me and go to sleep. I'll call you for lunch at noon."
Finally liberated!
Li Jingchen lay on the bed but was not honest. He put one arm around Jiang Tuantuan's waist and secretly pinched the soft flesh on her belly twice. Considering that he was tired after a whole night, Jiang Tuantuan did not take his hand away.
The amazing thing is that when Jiang Tuantuan sits on the bed and holds Yubao, Yubao stops crying, but that doesn’t happen with Li Jingchen.
Looking at Yubao's slightly wrinkled face and the dark complexion, Jiang Tuantuan felt that he was so ugly. She touched her own face and glanced at Li Jingchen. They were both very handsome, so how could the child she gave birth to be so ugly?
After putting Yubao down, Jiang Tuantuan got up and went to have breakfast.
After breakfast, I looked out the window and happened to see a horse that hadn't been included yet. The elf started chirping, "Host, based on my experience as an elf for nearly a thousand years, this horse definitely has high points."
Jiang Tuantuan began to think about what to do. The more he looked at the horse, the more he liked it.
I can’t collect it secretly, so I thought I’d ask Li Jingchen when I called him to eat at noon.
He ate the meal absentmindedly. "Tuantuan, what's wrong with you? Do you have anything to say?"
Jiang Tuantuan asked, "Can you give me your horse?"
Li Jingchen answered without thinking: "Of course, what's mine is yours."
Jiang Tuantuan was suddenly delighted and picked up a large piece of braised pork for him.
After dinner, Jiang Tuantuan said that she wanted to eat peach blossom pastry very much, so Li Jingchen immediately went out to buy it.
After Jiang Tuantuan saw him leave, he put the horse into the space.
The system is very efficient this time. I received the points right after I collected them, a full 20,000. Now I have 350,000 points, which is almost half.
Jiang An lay in the cowshed, but the light in his eyes grew dimmer and dimmer.
When Li Jingchen came back from buying peach blossom pastries, he saw that the horse was gone. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Tuan Tuan, where's the horse?"
Jiang Tuantuan said absentmindedly, "I gave it to my friend."
"What friend? Do I know him?"
"You don't know him, I'll introduce him to you when I have the chance."
Li Jingchen said thoughtfully, "The wheat seeds were given to you by this friend, right?"
"right."
Jiang Tuantuan didn't want him to ask any more questions, so she quickly changed the subject and asked, "How was the bandit suppression yesterday? How many people were there? Were you injured?"
"There were five of them, all refugees. The bearded one among them was quite skilled in martial arts, but they were all subdued. Your husband is so powerful, how could he have been injured?"
Jiang Tuantuan suddenly remembered that the bearded man might be the group of people who came to steal the chicken.
"I remember this group of people came to steal chickens, and there were more than a dozen of them. How come there are only five left now?"
Li Jingchen said: "A few were in poor health and starved to death. Three others were captured before. The common people are always the ones who suffer."
"Now that the five of them have been arrested, what does the county magistrate plan to do with them?"
"Exiled to the surrounding area to do hard labor."
Jiang Tuantuan asked, "Can you hand the person over to me?"
Li Jingchen thought about it and felt that it was indeed possible. The county magistrate was currently unable to deal with these five people, and they were not extremely evil people.
In the afternoon, Jiang Tuantuan was wrapped up like a ball and followed Li Jingchen to the county government office.
Jiang Tuantuan asked, "Is County Magistrate Zhao still worried about those five people?"
When County Magistrate Zhao saw the two men coming, he hurriedly stood up and invited them to sit down, and asked the servant to bring them tea.
"There's not enough food now, and now there are five more mouths to feed." County Magistrate Zhao sighed.
Jiang Tuantuan said, "Otherwise, just hand these five over to me."
County Magistrate Zhao wanted to refuse.
Li Jingchen said quickly, "They are just like other refugees, they just want to survive. Sending them to the surrounding areas is also a way for them to work and atone for their sins. My wife thinks the same way, and it will also exempt them from prison food for a few months. Why not? I will also see to it that they stop doing evil."
County Magistrate Zhao thought about it and it made sense. Some refugees outside the city even fought over who could queue up first to get served porridge. Wouldn't they all be imprisoned?
After thinking it through, he agreed to their proposal. Jiang Tuantuan excitedly went to the prison to pick up the people. The prison was underground, very cold and dark. The five people were locked up in one cell. Jiang Tuantuan walked forward.
He opened the cell door and walked in slowly.
The bearded man was calm when he saw Li Jingchen, but was surprised when he saw Jiang Tuantuan.
"Are you the woman who was at the chicken farm?"
"Yes, the county magistrate wants to send you to the surrounding areas to do hard labor. It's tiring, cold, and hungry, and you won't get any wages. You'll have to stay in the surrounding areas for the rest of your lives."
The five people lowered their heads and said nothing.
Jiang Tuantuan added, "But I don't think you're unforgivable sinners, so I'm letting you out on credit."
The five men all raised their heads, and the bearded man said, "Are you serious? Why are you doing this? There's no such thing as a free lunch. If there really is a free lunch, you'll definitely have to pay a lot more."
"I didn't expect that besides being strong, you are also very smart," Jiang Tuantuan became more and more satisfied.
She said, "I have twenty mu of land that needs to be planted with wheat, but I don't have any workers. I'd like to hire you as long-term workers. Sign a five-year contract, and then let you go free. You won't be paid for the first three months, but after that, you'll receive one tael of silver per month. If you perform well, your salary will be increased every six months, up to a minimum of three hundred wen."
The man sitting in the far corner looked up and asked, "Why is there no money for the first three months?"
Jiang Tuantuan said coldly: "To forgive your sins, you hurt my brother just to feed yourself, and secretly robbed the court's relief grain. Shouldn't you pay a price for this?"
Besides, what Jiang Tuantuan gave was already quite a bit, and now the average monthly salary for the farmhands was only one or two taels.
Before the man could open his mouth to refute, Jiang Tuantuan said, "No matter what your reason is, doing this is wrong."
The man lowered his head and remained silent. The air was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The bearded man stood up and said, "I'm willing to go with you."
Jiang Tuantuan smiled with satisfaction and said, "Who else is willing to go with me? Those who follow me must obey me completely."
The remaining three also stood up, but the man sitting in the corner was unwilling to get up.
