The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

Lan Wangshu walked in, looking as if he wanted to say something but was hesitant, as if he had something to hide.

The village chief secretly sighed in his heart that Lan Qinghe was a good-for-nothing. He was willing to sell his mother, wife and children, so what else could he not do? How could Lan Wangshu, a little girl who had not even reached the age of marriage, handle these problems?

His loving gaze fell on the girl, his bright eyes were full of encouragement, and even his apple cheeks were slightly exerted.

Lan Wangshu faced such a gaze and calmed himself down.

"I plan to adopt Duoduo. Mr. Zhou is willing to keep the land where she was sold until I have enough money to redeem her. But my grandmother seems to have mental problems, and her indenture is twenty taels. I really can't afford it now. Duoduo and her mother together only have ten taels."

The girl looked a little guilty and uneasy, as if she felt that it was unfilial to think this way, and couldn't help but come to the village chief for help.

The village chief's pupils dilated in surprise. He put his pipe on the table and leaned forward slightly. Cang Lin couldn't help but exclaimed.

"How much? Twenty taels. My God, this old Mrs. Lan is worth so much money. Mr. Zhou must have been cheated."

No one would accept this price. Even if Mr. Zhou had money, he would not spend it in this way. If it were two taels of silver, the village chief could give it to Lan Wangshu to satisfy his wish, but he really couldn't afford these twenty taels.

"Grandpa, I really can't save grandma. After thinking it over, I decided to save my brother and second aunt first. Is this the right thing to do? Will it cause trouble for my brothers and make them unfilial?"

Lan Wangshu's eyes were red and tears fell all of a sudden. He looked panic-stricken, like a lost lamb. The village head and his wife felt very distressed when they saw this. Why did this child have such a miserable life?

She was ashamed to put on this show in front of the old couple, but she had no choice. She did not hurt others and fought for the most favorable environment for herself. She was not wrong. She had to grow up quickly.

This world can no longer be measured by an ordinary small village. Everyone she comes into contact with has a story, so she cannot escape. She cannot escape just because she is Lan Qingshan’s daughter. She must be strong, strong enough to face possible crises in the future.

Lan Wangshu's business, which she had been living on by relying on the system, collapsed halfway through. The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. She felt wronged and the pressure on her was so great that she burst into tears.

"Why are you crying, kid? Old Madam Lan treated you so badly, why are you still thinking about her? Since Master Zhou has bought it, let him take it away. You can take your time with the slavery. I will write a document to explain the situation, but the children will still need some guidance. It's hard to get twenty taels even if everyone in the village helps. It's not your fault."

The village chief tapped the table with his knuckles and stroked his gray beard. He had been in the village for so many years that he knew all the relationships between every household. As for Mrs. Lan's daily behavior, it was considered polite that no one took advantage of her misfortune.

The girl pursed her lips, blinked her eyes, tiny tears hung on her eyelashes, and nodded with sobs.

"Then... let's let Master Zhou take her away. I'll ask him to take care of grandma. He's Luo Chen's classmate, so we can always discuss things. This second uncle is really unfilial. He left the village because he knew it would be bad if it got out. If other villages knew about this, who would dare to marry a man from this village?"

The village chief was a little reluctant at first, but because there was too much silver and this was the only way, after hearing Lan Wangshu's words, his mind seemed to clear up.

Yes, Lan Qinghe was deliberately driven out of the village in order to make these elders the bad guys. These problems can be solved if the time sequence is blurred.

The village chief took two puffs of his cigarette and immediately made up his mind that this might be another way.

"Don't worry, this has nothing to do with you. Your second uncle has been kicked out and is not considered a member of our village."

The village chief was also a ruthless man. He made a prompt decision. There was no specific time for driving people out of the village shrine. As long as everyone spoke with one voice, it meant that Lan Qinghe was the one who sold people after being driven out. Being driven out of the village was the motive for selling people. It had nothing to do with Cangshan Village or Lan Wangshu.

Lan Wangshu achieved her goal, lowered her head and smiled quietly. She didn't care about her reputation, but she had to consider her brothers. The reputation of being unfilial would never be pinned on her.

The problem was solved, so she had to express her filial piety and said a few words to Cang Linshi.

"Grandma looks upset, is there anything I can do to help?"

There was no color on Cang Lin's face, and she looked very worried. The village chief kicked his wife's feet, and the old woman shook her head and forced a smile.

What can she say? Birth, aging, sickness and death are inevitable.

"Good boy, grandma is fine, I'm just a little sad that my family is gone."

Cang Lin smiled, turned her head and quickly wiped the corners of her eyes. Lan Wangshu thought in his heart and asked her to divert her attention. Everyone can only banish himself to the crowd, and in the end he is still alone. Maybe it will be better if there is hope.

"I was thinking that my grandma would come back and help me watch out for my nonsense with my sister-in-law, so that when my brother and sister-in-law have children, my grandma won't be disgusted or make a fuss."

Cang Lin's eyes lit up, and the village chief stroked his beard with satisfaction and smiled, nodding at her.

"Send it over here. Grandma is the best at taking care of children."

Lan Wangshu curved his fox eyes, made a few witty remarks, and mentioned that tofu shops would be opened all over Dazhao in the future, painting a huge pie for Cang Lin. The old lady's face turned red with laughter, and she nodded repeatedly, reluctant to let her leave.

"You know how to make old people happy."

Cang Wenyuan was still wearing shorts and doing carpentry work. He could hear the laughter in the room from outside the door. He didn't know what magic the little girl had.

Lan Wangshu squatted opposite him, watching him work, and tilted his head.

"Do you know why grandma is in a bad mood?"

"Because my mother's family is gone."

Cang Wenyuan stopped what he was doing and looked at her. Lan Wangshu's smiling face changed in an instant.

"All gone? Natural disaster or man-made disaster?"

The young man's eyes lit up, perhaps she was a good choice.

"It must be a man-made disaster."

"Any clues?"

Cang Wenyuan shook his head. It was because there were no clues left that he concluded it was a man-made disaster. The opponent was very skilled and cleaned the place very thoroughly. He shook his head silently.

Lan Wangshu's expression became more serious, and her brows were furrowed. It was obvious that she had thought of something, but was it necessary for a few country folk to do such a fatal thing?

"Looking at grandma's condition, she doesn't seem to think this is a man-made disaster. How much do you know about her family?"

Cang Wenyuan watched her lower her voice, and couldn't help but lean his head closer and started talking in a low voice.

"My mother's family doesn't seem to be very close to her children. Once they leave the house, they won't let them go back during the holidays. It's not that they are all dead, so they call the children back home."

Lan Wangshu pursed her lips and looked towards the main hall with some worry. This was beyond her understanding. Whether it was the officialdom or the underworld, they were all her blind spots. In the end, she was too weak and could only focus on the village and the county town.

For the first time, she felt the horror of this era. Powerful people can really do whatever they want. An entire family was wiped out, and even Cang Wenyuan could not find any clues. This required professional training and a skilled job. She couldn't imagine how many cruel things these people had done.

"Don't worry, they probably won't be back for a while. They burned the house to leave no trace. It looks more like they did it to silence the witnesses. There's no sign of them moving. I guess... the two elders did it voluntarily."

"how do you know."

Lan Wangshu had seen many closed-room murder cases, and his first reaction was to question.

Cang Wenyuan looked at her helplessly. He had just praised her for her intelligence, but why did she become so stubborn?

"Because after they sent their children away, they were not allowed to return. This is because they knew something bad would happen to them. This was their choice to keep their children."

"Is that the end of it?"

She still couldn't accept and forgive Lan Wangshu for still being stuck in the concept of life for life.

"Otherwise, believe it or not, if you dare to investigate, you will be the one to die immediately. Don't act rashly. You don't have the ability yet. It will be too easy for them to kill you. Think long and hard."

"understood."

Lan Wangshu admitted that what Cang Wenyuan said made sense. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"Why do you care so much about our family affairs?"

"Do you understand what it means to be in the same boat? If you are really that cruel, the whole village might be doomed."

Lan Wangshu rolled his eyes in annoyance, raised his voice a little, and then quickly lowered it.

"Sister Wangshu is right. Don't worry. With Jingyang and Zhengyang's attention, everything will be fine."

Cang Wenyuan smiled faintly. It was the first time she saw him smile. No wonder he could have charmed Gao so much. He looked like a decent human being.

“Are they that powerful?”

"Jingyang is a well-known little bully, and Zhengyang is the descendant of a meritorious official and a favorite of the emperor. Don't worry, they are not that blind."

Lan Wangshu understood that Cang Wenyuan had already determined the target range. Her grandmother's family was the victim of the internal strife in Dazhao. But she felt that everyone around her was like a sieve, and everyone was not simple. Even her father was not an ordinary person. She wouldn't have been in the wrong book and become a major character, right?

Cang Wenyuan watched her face change, then waved and turned away, shaking his head. He really couldn't understand the children nowadays. Why are they so worried?

"Brother Cang, would you consider having a child for grandma to play with?"

Cang Wenyuan stumbled and looked back at Lan Wangshu with a frank expression. He was really determined to shock people with his words.

"Thanks for caring."

The young man bit his back teeth and revealed a mysterious smile, his eyes were oppressive and a little creepy.

The girl felt that she was talking too much, so she rubbed her earlobe uncomfortably and muttered softly.

"Do you think I'm willing to do that? I'm just thinking that having a newborn baby will give me some hope. If there's hope, I'll look forward."

Cang Wenyuan thought about it and pushed Lan Wangshu out of the house.

She left the village chief's house and went straight back to her own home. When she told Zhou Xingnan about this matter, he didn't understand. So she simply went to discuss it with Mo Yici, wanting him to help keep an eye out for it. It was a hidden risk for her and she couldn't just ignore it.

After listening to her story, Mo Yici's face darkened. There was unexpectedly a strong aura around them, which made the leaves on the ground float up. Lan Wangshu looked puzzled and hugged her jacket tightly.

"Why did the wind suddenly pick up?"

Mo Yici was still angry, but when he heard what she said, he instantly broke down and restrained his aura.

"Don't worry, I will check this matter."

Just as he turned around and was about to walk out, Lan Wangshu widened his eyes in shock, grabbed his wrist and stopped him.

"Don't check it, it's too dangerous, just keep an eye on it, big brother."

Mo Yici's lips curled up slightly, thinking that this little girl still had a conscience.

"I understand. Now I'm going to take Zhengyang and Luochen back to the academy."

Lan Wangshu smiled awkwardly, withdrew her hand, and couldn't help blushing. She offended others again in her haste.
