After finishing the business, the two little girls became more familiar with each other and began to huddle together, whispering to each other.
As the sky grew darker, until the lights came on, Zhao and his group returned to the inn.
But this time it was not an easy trip, as I actually brought back several large boxes.
Xiao Lingling was stunned, watching the innkeeper's veins popping out as he lifted the box. The box was quite heavy?
What good treasure did you have? Why are all the brothers so listless?
"Grandma, what's in these boxes? They look so heavy."
Before Xiao Lingling could say anything, Lin Wu suddenly let out a howl and rushed back to the room, crying as if he had been hit by something.
Next came Lin Ran, Lin Hao, and Sun Yongxuan...
Only Lin Wen seemed relatively calm, with a glimmer of fighting spirit in his eyes?
Xiao Lingdang's head was full of question marks, and Zhao also looked helpless. In the end, Huo Qiuyue sighed with a hint of apology in her eyes.
"Oh, it's all my dad's fault. He gave me five big boxes of books, but most of them are for beginners, not too advanced.
Aunt Zhao, please don't be offended. My dad is just like that. When he sees a smart child, he can't help but pull him over and teach him a lesson.
He has been doing this over the years. Although it is a bit difficult, he has actually taught many knowledgeable students.
Some stayed in the academy to teach, and some passed the imperial examinations and became officials, all of whom achieved great success. The main reason was that these children were too smart.
My dad discovered it with a slightly amused test, his eyes shining. Before leaving, my dad even pulled me aside to tell me that these children were very talented and were the best he had seen in recent years.
So, he showed his appreciation for my talents and gave me so many books. Not only that, my father also told me to keep a close eye on these children.
As soon as they have learned enough and passed the examination to become students, he would send them to the academy. He also wanted to teach them himself."
Huo Qiuyue really couldn't do anything about her father. He was so stubborn when it came to this kind of thing that even her mother couldn't persuade him.
Look, when they saw so many books, the children were dumbfounded, as if they had seen themselves being tortured by the sea of books...
Zhao Shi wasn't angry at first. Instead, she laughed after hearing this. "What's there to be sorry about? This is a good thing! Who doesn't want their children to be smart?
Moreover, no matter what they want to do in the future, simple reading and literacy will always be necessary.
Besides, these books are not cheap, and you may not even be able to buy them if you want, so your father is just being kind.
However, these children do have their own preferences, and their grandfather and I have discussed this long ago and do not want to force them.
Anyway, they will have to live their own lives in the future. As long as they don’t go astray, we will just let nature take its course.
So, I'm afraid your father will be disappointed. However, Xiaowen is a quiet child and loves reading, so I think your father won't be too disappointed.
Huo Qiuyue felt much more at ease after hearing her say this. She was just afraid that her father's temper would scare Aunt Zhao and the others again.
"Hey, everyone has their own aspirations. A good man has ambitions in all directions, and there's more to it than just this one path. So don't worry, Aunt Zhao. No matter how powerful my father is, he won't dare force you.
Besides, Xiaowen is smart and studious, and my dad is just as happy to have him around."
Xiao Lingling finally understood what was going on from the conversation between the two people, and felt amused.
In fact, if the family members really want to be taken out for testing, they must be very smart, after all, the water in the spiritual pool is not for drinking in vain.
Moreover, if there are martial artists who come to see, they can see that the Lin family members, from the old to the young, have good bones and strong physical fitness.
Before, Lin Changshu and Zhao Shi had become thin due to fleeing, their hair had turned a lot whiter, their faces were rough and had all kinds of wrinkles.
But when I look at it now, it's gone. His hair is jet black, his complexion is excellent, and even his wrinkles are much less.
The villagers of Shuanghe Village always say that they are getting younger and younger, and it’s not a lie.
Although it cannot restore youth, it can really strengthen the body and delay aging.
Xiao Lingling proudly took all the credit on herself, but she didn't intend to tell anyone, for fear that her brothers might get angry and embarrassed.
After Zhao and Huo Qiuyue finished talking, they realized that there was a little girl in the room.
"Hey? Who is this kid?"
Little Bell blinked at Zhao, "Grandma, this is a little sister I rescued. Like Sister Qiaomei, she is also sick. I want to take her home with me, cure her illness, and then send her away. Is that okay?"
Zhao looked at her winking and immediately understood what she meant. "Ah, ah, so that's it. All right then. If you need anything, just tell grandma."
Xiao Lingling nodded with satisfaction, and pulled Deng Rong to the next room to play with Qiaomei and Wu Tongtong.
The little girl is always soft-hearted. When she heard that Deng Rong was also sick like Qiaomei, Wu Tongtong couldn't help but care about her more.
Perhaps because Qiaomei has experienced it herself, she can empathize with it, so she is unusually close to Deng Rong.
In this way, Deng Rong became the group's darling, and was cared for by the three of them, with little Lingling handing her food over from time to time.
This unprecedented feeling made Deng Rong extremely happy, and she even smiled in her dreams that night.
Now that Deng Rong's problem has been resolved, Xiao Lingdang and his group are finally ready to return to the village.
Nothing unexpected happened this time. Only Yang Qilai specifically told Xiao Lingdang about the trial results of Deng Yi's family.
After all, the person was sent by Xiao Lingdang's guards, so the county magistrate worked overtime to investigate the case that day. The case was very clear, and there was also evidence sent by Xiao Lingdang.
The family was sentenced on the spot before they had a chance to protest their injustice.
Deng Yi and Liu were given sixty lashes of the cane, and because the amount of money they defrauded was large enough, they were sentenced to fifteen years in prison.
As for the two children, they were so spoiled that they dared to speak wildly when they met the county magistrate.
The county magistrate had originally considered them young and had not intended to impose severe punishment, but now he became furious and sentenced each of them to fifteen lashes with the cane and an additional year in prison.
This punishment is indeed not light. After all, although they are casual about Deng Rong's affairs and treat her badly on weekdays, they have not participated in the fraud.
But Xiao Lingling didn't care. The two children could tell at a glance that Gener had been corrupted.
Even if he is not imprisoned, he will not live a peaceful life. Instead of that, locking him up is not a bad thing.
After knowing the result, Xiao Lingdang didn't pay much attention to it. As soon as the carriage left the city, they saw the prefect Cheng Che who had been waiting there not far from the city gate.
