Su Wan'er stepped out of the carriage, a malicious smile playing on her lips.
Jiang Wanwan, I'm here!
In this life, I am determined to crush you under my feet!
......
The next morning, Jiang Wanwan got up early, washed up, ate breakfast, and then busied herself weighing the locusts for the villagers.
Everyone agreed that the locusts handed over today should only be exchanged for potato seedlings, not rice.
After weighing the locusts, she asked Uncle Jiang, Jiang He, and Jiang Jiang to help load them onto the oxcart. They also needed to deliver the goods to Ruixiangju and Wanhuofang in the county town today.
The contract originally stipulated delivery would take fifteen days, but only ten days have passed since the contract was signed, and delivery is already required. She couldn't resist Liu Qing and Zhen Duoqian's persistent pleading, so she had her family rush to make mosquito coils and deliver a batch to the two stores first.
After loading the oxcart, Jiang Wanwan, with the concern of the Jiang family, left Dashui Village carrying several large buckets of mosquito coils and several bamboo baskets of locusts.
Far from the village, Jiang Wanwan couldn't wait to sell all the locusts in her bamboo basket to the online store. In the blink of an eye, the store's balance increased by over ten thousand yuan.
More than an hour later, she arrived in the county town safely.
After greeting the guards familiarly, Jiang Wanwan paid the gate fee and entered the city smoothly.
She drove the oxcart, first delivering goods to Ruixiangju, and then to Wanhuofang.
When the two shopkeepers saw Jiang Wanwan delivering the goods, they smiled broadly, paid her the balance readily, and told her to deliver the goods in advance next time.
Jiang Wanwan smiled and agreed to everything. She then parked the oxcart in the backyard of the Wanhuofang store and went out onto the street alone.
Finding a secluded, dark corner, Jiang Wanwan disguised herself. This time, she dressed herself up as an old woman again.
After disguising herself, she bought several bags of steamed buns and carried them to a dilapidated temple in the town.
At this moment, many beggars were lying haphazardly in the dilapidated temple. Hearing the noise, the beggars slightly opened their eyes. Upon discovering that the person who came was Jiang Wanwan, they immediately sat up and rushed to her side.
"Grandma Jiang, you've arrived." A group of beggars surrounded her, their eyes gleaming as they stared at the steamed buns in her hand.
Jiang Wanwan handed the steamed buns to one of the beggars, saying, "Here, take these and share them."
"Thank you, Granny Jiang." The beggars scrambled to grab the buns, each holding two and wolfing them down.
A look of sadness crossed Jiang Wanwan's face as she asked, "Do you have any news about my poor son?"
Indeed, to avoid suspicion, she claimed that Deputy General Liu was her son, explaining that she and her son had been separated while being chased by bandits. She wanted to see her son again before she died.
Undoubtedly, the beggars believed her lies, and one by one, lured by her money and delicious food, they diligently searched for people for her.
The beggars quickly shook their heads. "We've been looking for your son every day, but we haven't been able to find him. Don't worry, Granny Jiang, I'll definitely go to the Wanhuo Market to let you know as soon as I have any news."
Jiang Wanwan was somewhat disappointed, but since she had already spent the money, she was determined to dig out some useful information. She tentatively asked, "I haven't heard from my son. Have anything strange happened in the county lately?"
"Hey, there really is! I heard that the daughter of the mighty general from the capital came to our county. I wonder what she's doing here."
Jiang Wanwan was surprised that Su Wan'er had come to Anyang County! Could she have been sent by Su Mu?
After thanking the beggar, she came out of the temple, seemingly lost in thought.
She needed to figure out whether Su Wan'er was looking for her or Qi Zhao.
She found a secluded spot to remove her makeup, then wandered the streets and alleys, hoping for a stroke of luck to find Deputy General Liu soon.
However, Vice General Liu had no clues and instead found himself blocked by a group of thugs in a small alley.
