Chapter 219 Land Deed
Fang Luxue, however, acted as if she were naturally familiar with everyone, appearing friendly with them all.
"Sister, how many months pregnant are you these days? Are you about to give birth?"
Li Chongniang was a little stunned by the question, nodding blankly, unable to exert her "sharp tongue" effect at all.
"Are these two your kids?" Fang Luxue walked over to Pingping and An'an, squatted down, and pinched their chubby cheeks. "So well-behaved!"
After squeezing the cheeks of her two little ones, she started looking around, unable to stop.
"Why do you build a thatched shed to grow vegetables?" Fang Luxue looked up and saw the middle-aged woman busy in the vegetable garden. She greeted her with a smile, "Auntie, you grow these vegetables so well!"
"..." Wan Qiqi couldn't understand Fang Luxue's actions, nor did she understand what she was trying to do, but the only thing she wanted to do at the moment was to drive the person out of the yard.
When this rich young lady comes to our house, nothing good ever comes of it!
Although Fang Luxue was bewitched by Geng Laosan when they were in the mountain stronghold, that's why she attacked him.
But this person must have a grudge against me, otherwise I would have been misled into killing me!
Keeping such a person around will lead to endless troubles.
Chen Yongnian still didn't understand what Fang Luxue was going to do, but he immediately went to Wan Qiqi's side, glanced at the little monkey, and asked, "Can he speak?"
“It’s difficult; it’s a knot in his heart.” Wan Qiqi seemed a little downcast. “We don’t know anything about his background, and he himself can’t tell us.”
Moreover, judging from the baby monkey's appearance, it may have some memory loss.
She didn't say everything, afraid that if she said too much, Chen Yongnian wouldn't understand.
Chen Yongnian didn't understand the connection, but he noticed that as long as the little monkey's origins were found, there would be a turning point.
Fang Luxue pricked up her ears and listened to the conversation. "The little mute isn't really mute, is he?"
She looked at the little monkey curiously, but the little monkey kept hiding.
The two of them circled around Wan Qiqi and Chen Yongnian as if playing hide-and-seek.
Finally, Fang Luxue didn't want to pursue the matter with the little mute boy anymore, so she stopped and said, "What do the doctors in your mountain village know? There are medical officers in the county government. Take him to the county government to take a look, and he can be cured, right?"
Wan Qiqi rolled her eyes at her.
The little monkey wasn't initially allowed to come back with him; it was only after several layers of assurance that he was safe.
If we send the person to the county government, we don't know if the illness can be cured, but the person will definitely die!
Many people are still eyeing the little monkey, believing it to be a bandit raised by the tiger that came down from the mountain, and that it should not be allowed to live.
Fang Luxue was puzzled. She had spoken so clearly, so what was her expression?
There are very few people who dare to roll their eyes at her and still get along with her, but Wan Qiqi and the people around her are quite a few.
She herself didn't know why she had ended up in Lotus Village after going around in circles.
There's a feeling of being homeless and having no one to rely on.
She couldn't accept that her father, who had once doted on her the most, would risk his life to fight bandits.
She also couldn't accept that her brother, who had vowed to always protect her, had never appeared at the scene.
She didn't understand why Wan Qiqi was the one who saved her in the end.
She was curious about Wan Qiqi, curious about everything about her!
Wan Qiqi ignored Fang Luxue and walked towards Chen Lizheng, bowing respectfully. "Chen Lizheng, what brings you here?"
Chen Lizheng then remembered why he and Chen Yongnian had come here.
He took out a relatively new sheet of paper with ink and brush from his pocket and handed it to Wan Qiqi.
"This is a unanimous decision by the county government to bestow this land upon you two as a reward."
After Wan Qiqi opened it, her eyes trembled slightly, unsure of how to bring it up.
The land deed for the place she had been eyeing was now in her hands, still bearing Chen Yongnian's name and stamped with the official seal.
Whether she accepts it or not, the item already belongs to her!
Wan Qiqi couldn't help but admire the magistrate's ingenious actions.
You cannot refuse to exchange the silver for goods, regardless of her choice.
She was a little curious; wasn't Fang Ziming afraid she would renege on her debt?
“My lady, if you don’t want it, I will go to the county government and speak to the magistrate.”
Chen Yongnian believed that what he had done was simply his duty and did not require any further reward.
Many people participated in the suppression of bandits; he was just one of them.
If there is to be any reward, it should be given to Master and Uncle Xie, who is also Brother Wan.
But upon careful consideration, he felt that his wife also deserved this credit.
If it weren't for the wife's wit and courage in outmaneuvering the bandits, how could Lianshan have been breached so easily?
Wan Qiqi felt that there was no reason to return something that had been offered, especially since the person had come along as well.
Judging from Fang Luxue's demeanor, she knew that she couldn't make her leave with just a few words.
Rather than doing that, it's better to accept it calmly.
Perfect timing! I've been eyeing this house for a long time!
She smiled slightly and said, "Please convey our gratitude to the magistrate on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Chen."
Fang Luxue curiously leaned closer, looking at the land deed with a furrowed brow. "How could my father be so stingy? He only gave me a house in the village, not even in the town!"
Everyone turned to look at her.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm right! The land in the village isn't worth much. It has to be land in the town!" Fang Luxue said, pointing at An'an. "This child is old enough to be sent to the academy. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to have a piece of land in the town?"
Wan Qiqi wanted to praise Fang Luxue, saying that she thought exactly the same thing.
She also wanted land in the town.
Unfortunately, the magistrate won't give it to me!
Wang came out of the vegetable garden, picked out two loads of fresh vegetables, washed her hands, and asked, "What land deed? Where is the land deed from?"
Fearing that the family might not be literate, Chen Lizheng immediately explained, "The land next to your house, the land that Zhao Dagen's family used to own, now belongs to your Yongnian family!"
