Chapter 356: Power and Influence



"Old Madam, I can bring people to rescue the person, and you only need to give me one thousand taels of silver.

As for how she will survive after being rescued, that will be up to your Jiang family to handle. I don’t want someone to be rescued and then seek death for the sake of reputation.”

The old lady and the eldest lady nodded quickly.

"No, no, Ru may be a little naive, but she's not someone who would commit suicide. Besides, we are the ones watching over her."

"Well, there are girls like this in our village. They encountered some bad things on the road. At first, some of them wanted to commit suicide. But after they got busy and found their own value, they no longer had such thoughts."

After Xiushui finished speaking, she didn't care what the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thought. She stood up and stopped the carriage, asking it to take the people to Linji Village. She herself rode away on a horse alone.

The doctor didn't react until the person walked away.

"Mom, Miss Wen went alone. Why didn't she call for help?"

The old lady was also puzzled. Although she and Xiushui had only met when they were seeing a doctor, she could see that she was a person who kept her word.

She said she would help save people, she couldn't just leave them alone.

but……

Take a look at Uncle Zhong and the group of people who are obviously guards. If they don’t take the help away, how can a girl save others alone?

She was worried, but she chose to believe Wen Xiushui.

"I believe she can do it."

Looking at Uncle Zhong and the others again, this guy wasn't panicking at all?

It seems that I really trusted the right person.

Thinking of this, she patted her daughter-in-law's hand.

"Look, Miss Wen's housekeeper isn't worried. I think he has confidence in her. As for how to save people? That's not our business."

The eldest daughter-in-law has experienced so many things and is much calmer when encountering things.

"Mom, I understand. Mom, should we tell our family? After all, they might not know that I followed you out."

The old lady thought about it and nodded in agreement.

After all, she came out this time because she couldn't stay at home, so she wanted to save her granddaughter.

Who knew that on the way to Wei's house, he heard someone say that Wei Hong went to the government office.

Then she hurried to the yamen again. Her daughter-in-law must have heard the news and followed her. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law met in front of the yamen, and by chance they ran into the Wen family...

Thinking of this, the old lady sighed again.

“No wonder our ancestors said that as long as our family can get by, we must remember to do good deeds and perform more charity.

Good fortune may not always be repaid immediately, but doing more good deeds does have real benefits. Our connection with the Wen family is a fact.

The eldest lady nodded again. Indeed, in the future, whenever the Jiang family has extra money, they must donate 10% to charity.

On this side, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had plans in mind.

Soon they met with Old Lady Wen again. After she told Xiushui that the old lady had gone to rescue people, she saw that she was not surprised at all, nor panicked, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law felt relieved.

Xiushui, who was being missed by everyone, asked for directions all the way to the village outside the city where the Wei family lived.

I have to say that the Wei family is truly the overlord in this area.

Look at those rows and rows of houses. How many people can they accommodate?

She turned sideways and asked the little kid who was leading the way.

"Little friend, this is a thank you."

The little guy held a big handful of candy and slurped his saliva with joy.

"Thank you, sister."

"Can you tell me how many people are there in the Wei family? How do they have such a big yard? Can everyone live there?"

The little guy pouted.

"The Wei family didn't have many children. Wei Hong and his wife had three sons and two daughters. The total population wasn't that large.

But after the Wei family had a queen, there were more and more women in their family.

More and more houses are needed. Originally, the village where Wei Hong lived was a village where we lived together with them.

But because the Wei family needed land to build houses and farm, we and the people from his village were all driven out by him.

Those fields were sold for ten copper coins, even though they were said to be purchased.”

Wow, this is really something Wei Hong can do.

"Those many houses are actually for the wives of the fathers and the others to live in.

Some women would be allocated a small courtyard after giving birth, so over the years, this place expanded larger and larger, and the entire village could hardly accommodate the Wei family.

The village chief behind us said that if this trend continues, people from several nearby villages might be bought out at low prices and driven out..."

The Wei family can truly be considered a local tyrant.

However, with her experience in Shisha City, she was not surprised at all when she saw such a thing.

In addition to feeling helpless about the Chinese people's habitual tolerance, what is more important is that I have come to understand the evil of human nature.

"Don't worry, the Wei family won't do evil again, and you won't be forced to sell your house at a low price to drive them out. The Wei family's luck has run out, and they can't turn things around."

The little kid looked at her in surprise. "Sister, is this true? My mom worries every day, afraid that one day the Wei family will take away the house and land we bought with great difficulty."

If I hadn't moved away, my mother would have been happy, and she might have given birth to a brother or sister for me. You don't know, people in our village don't dare to have brothers or sisters now."

Xiushui felt a sore throat after hearing this.

When animals feel threatened, they may choose not to have offspring.

However, humans, with no clear identity, choose not to have children, just like animals. It’s not because they don’t love their children, but because they don’t want their children to suffer!
