Chapter 281 Moving to the Workshop
When Mo Lang returned with his men, they found nothing; they discovered no other traces of human activity elsewhere.
However, he collected everything from the village again, bringing back everything he could.
Dried chili peppers and garlic, pots and pans, tables and chairs, large water vats, clothes and bedding, and bundles of firewood.
They really looted everything.
If the stone house could be moved, he probably would have moved it back with him.
Lu Qingqing designated a few families and asked him to deliver some firewood and bedding to them. She told them to take the rest back and share it with the people in Liuyun Village.
The carriage was padded with thick blankets, and Lu Yun carried Lin Ye onto it.
The large group of people finally left, and the village head of Hulu Village breathed a sigh of relief.
"Luckily, this woman is lazy and doesn't know the difference between the five grains, so she mistook pork leg for lamb leg, otherwise it would be really hard to explain!"
Wang Wu spat again: "I told you she was just the concubine that Magistrate Xu had taken a fancy to. She's just a female doctor, why would she make such a big fuss!"
"You only ever think about concubines! I've been exhausted today! Quickly, call everyone to go up the mountain tonight!"
...
Unbeknownst to them, the carriage stopped when it reached the fields of Hulu Village.
Lu Qingqing got out of the car, went into the field, picked up a clump of soil and looked at it.
He said, "No medicinal herbs have ever been grown on this land."
Lu Yun nodded: "The land where medicinal herbs have been grown will become compacted, and it needs to be fermented with manure and forest soil for a while to thaw it."
The soil wasn't hardened, but it hadn't been properly tended to this year; it was full of weeds and crop roots.
"Hulu Village has never delivered herbs to the workshop; if they had, they would know us."
There's a reason why Hulu Village is poorer than other villages!
If you don't even value the land that others consider their lifeblood, how will you get enough to eat?
Lu Qingqing called Mo Lang over and gave him a few instructions.
Soon, nearly half of the troops turned back.
Only then did the young guard realize that Miss Lu knew everything!
Lu Yun pulled Lu Qingqing aside, glanced at the carriage, and asked:
"Little sister, what do you think we should do when we get back? Lin Zhuang probably won't be able to take good care of us, will he?"
Lu Qingqing glanced at him and said, "Just say what you want to say. There's no need to beat around the bush."
"Hehe... How can I just say it directly? You already know the answer in your heart, so why ask so clearly?"
"Shameless."
"Just tell me how to do it!"
"Take it back to our home."
"Hehehehehe... You said that. When you get home, tell your sister-in-law that I know nothing."
"shameless!"
The carriage moved slowly, without causing any jolting to the passengers.
Lu Qingqing was exhausted after two days and fell asleep in the car.
I woke up to find myself home.
Lin Ye was talking to Lin Zhuang.
Lu Yun was so anxious that he kept giving Lu Qingqing meaningful glances.
Lu Qingqing pretended not to see, her eyes glazed over as if she hadn't woken up yet.
Just as Lin Zhuang bent down to carry Lin Ye off the bus, Lu Yun coughed violently as if he were on the verge of death.
Lu Qingqing was suddenly startled, "Hey, hey, hey, I can't carry you to your house, carry me to my house, carry me to my house!"
Everyone ran out when they heard the letter.
Upon hearing Lu Qingqing's words, Feng Xiaowan immediately turned around and said, "Chaolu, hurry, hurry, go and add blankets to Little Sister's room and tidy it up..."
Lin Zhuang carried Lin Ye on his back. Their own door was right in front of them, but they didn't know how to get there.
Isn't this a bit inappropriate since we're not married yet?
Chen Cuihua and Aunt Ding came to help.
Some of the Lin family's relatives also gathered around.
"You're back! Is Lin Ye alright? What happened?"
Although their main concern at this moment was that Lin Ye had been humiliated and it would affect their own daughter, they had indeed been seriously searching for her these past few days.
"Where did this come from...?"
"Two nights away from home..."
People whispered among themselves, making various guesses.
Lu Yun got angry again, "Lin Zhuang! What are you waiting for? Get out of here!"
"Let's go, let's go..."
But where should we go?
"Qingqing, I'd better go home..." Lin Ye said quickly.
“You can’t go home!” Lu Qingqing said.
Then he said loudly, "Brother Lin Zhuang, Lin Ye was kidnapped because of me."
Fifty or sixty miles down the mountain from us, there is a village called Hulu Village. The people there are very poor and have no money for medical treatment, so they wanted to kidnap me to give me free medical treatment. Just then, Lin Ye brought us clothes, and the man mistook her for me and kidnapped her.
Lin Ye arrived and fled to the mountain, but it was dark and dangerous. He rolled down into a ravine and is now covered in injuries, including a broken wrist.
"It's inconvenient for you to take care of her at home, so why don't you stay at my place? We're getting married in a few days anyway."
Once Lu Qingqing explained, everyone understood what had happened.
Chen Cuihua shouted, "So that's what happened! Oh dear, Xiao Ye suffered for Qingqing. Those damned bastards, they think they can get away with anything without money! Kidnapping people in broad daylight, do they really think Liuyun Village is easy to bully! Have they been arrested and thrown in jail yet?"
"They've been arrested. The magistrate himself went to arrest them," Lu Qingqing said.
"Good thing they caught him! Poverty is no excuse for harming others. If everyone is poor and everyone does evil, the world will be in chaos!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Aunt Ding also shouted, "Lin Zhuang, let Lin Ye go to the Lu family to recover from his injury. Qingqing is a doctor and will take better care of you than you do. He must recover from his injury before the wedding."
"Okay, okay, let's go to the Lu family." Lin Zhuang's eyes were red, but he grinned.
Everyone seemed to have nothing to say about Lin Ye suffering in Lu Qingqing's place, and Lin Zhuang showed no dissatisfaction.
Old Man Lu spoke up:
"Lu Yun! From now on, you must treat Lin Ye well, a thousand times better. If you ever make her suffer, I will disown you as my son!"
Lu Yun now understood why Lu Qingqing was dragging her feet and not letting Lin Ye go home quickly—she wanted someone to come and clarify things.
Hearing Old Man Lu's words, she immediately replied, "Dad, I will be good to her, I will be good to her for the rest of my life. I will beat up anyone who bullies her, and I will not forgive anyone who speaks ill of her!"
"Great! Lu Yun is a fine man, and Lin Ye is a fine girl!" Chen Cuihua clapped her hands.
Everyone joined in the clapping.
"They're a perfect match, a very good match!"
"Hurry up and recover from your injury so we can get married in a few days."
"Yes, yes, Lin Ye, don't be shy. It's just for a few days. What's wrong with staying at the Lu family's house? Nobody can say anything about it."
What else could Lin Ye say? Even Lin Zhuang kept nodding.
She glanced at Lu Yun, who seemed equally helpless, and casually shrugged, "Then let's go to my house."
Lu Qingqing smiled at Lu Yun and cleared her throat:
"How about this?"
Although the wedding is just a few days away, there's some truth to the old traditions. It's best for the couple not to meet in the days leading up to the wedding, and we should always seek the most auspicious time for everything we do.
Starting today, let my brother move to the workshop to live.
Anyway, my brother often sleeps in the workshop, so he's used to it, right, brother?
Lu Yun: "..."
If he were to scold his sister now, his father would probably beat him up, right?
"Hahaha..." Chen Cuihua clapped her hands again: "I think this is absolutely wonderful!"
"..."
What a load of rubbish!
Feng Xiaowan called from the doorway, "The house is all tidied up, hurry up!"
