A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

"Sister Meijiu, my mother died so unjustly!"

Just as Wen Meijiu was thinking of going to the village chief to discuss some things, Wen Zhongyong, the young man whose mother had died, chased after her from behind with tears in his eyes.

He was the only son in his family, born to his parents late in life. Now that his mother had been murdered, the task of avenging her naturally fell to him. He couldn't very well let his elderly father go to his death.

However, after what had just happened, he knew very well that with his own strength, he was no match for the enemy, and he needed to rely on external forces to avenge his mother.

Currently, Wen Meijiu is the most suitable person. She knows martial arts, has influence here, and most importantly, she once told him personally that she wanted to avenge his mother.

Zhongyong is fifteen years old this year, about the same age as Wen Meijiu. In the village, according to seniority, he and Wen Meijiu are of the same generation.

He blocked Wen Meijiu's path and knelt down in front of her with a "plop," which she could not bear.

"Get up, get up quickly, what are you doing?"

No matter how much Wen Meijiu tried to pull him up, he couldn't lift Zhongyong from his kneeling position.

Looking up, Zhongyong, his eyes already blurry with tears, kowtowed three times to Wen Meijiu. "Sister Meijiu, I have no other choice. Since you have promised to avenge me, I will shamelessly ask you for that promise. Whether you want my flesh or my blood, I am willing to give anything to avenge my mother. Just tell me when we should set off tonight?"

"When are we leaving tonight?" Although Zhongyong was a filial son, he still managed to keep Wen Meijiu firmly in line, even setting a specific time.

Wen Meijiu used a lot of effort, and when she couldn't pull him up, she put her hands on her hips and panted.

It wasn't that she looked down on Zhong Yong, but he was so small and weak that he would only cause her trouble if he went. It was better for her to go alone.

“Go back and take good care of your uncle. I will avenge your aunt tonight. But if you disobey and keep kneeling here, don’t blame me for turning my back on you and forgetting everything I said.”

Wen Meijiu deliberately scared her. She couldn't stand people who would kneel down to her at the drop of a hat. She was avenging her aunt because she saw injustice and upheld justice, not to make others kneel and be grateful.

Zhongyong didn't believe it and knelt on the ground wiping away tears. "No, when are you leaving? I'll go with you. Give me a time."

Hey, he's getting tough now. Wen Meijiu really can't handle him. Luckily, Old Man Zhongyong came over from behind, pulled him up from the ground, and scolded him:

"What's wrong with you? This is such a big deal, you should at least give your sister Meijiu some time to think about it, shouldn't you? You saw what was going on just now, it was a matter of life and death."

It wasn't that the loyal and brave old man was understanding; rather, after the terrifying ordeal he had just experienced, his heart couldn't withstand any more of his son's antics.

His wife had already died unjustly, and he couldn't let his son die in vain. Similarly, he didn't want other people's daughters to suffer unwarranted misfortune, and he didn't believe that Wen Meijiu and his son could avenge his wife.

"Father, no, I must avenge Mother tonight, or I swear I will not be a human being."

Zhongyong was very stubborn. The more his father tried to pull him away, the more he cried and even swore oaths.

It wasn't that Wen Meijiu looked down on him, but rather, with him crying and wailing like that, he wouldn't be able to avenge his mother; he'd be the first one killed if he went there.

Not wanting to waste time here, Wen Meijiu instructed Zhongyong's father, "Uncle, please take good care of him. I have other urgent matters to attend to."

After saying that, she walked past Zhongyong and was about to leave when Zhongyong suddenly grabbed her trouser leg.

"Sister Meijiu, you promised to avenge my mother, you can't just leave like this."

Zhongyong cried as he clung to Wen Meijiu's leg and shouted.

Ate, who had been following Wen Meijiu, couldn't stand it anymore. How could a perfectly nice girl have her clothes being pulled like this by a man?

He rushed forward and struck Zhongyong squarely on the back of the neck with a slashing motion, causing Zhongyong to fall into his father's arms.

"Oh! my son!"

Old Man Zhongyong was taken aback when he saw Ate acting like this.

"What are you yelling for? Old man, I'll take pity on you and help you send it back."

Art was quite generous; after knocking someone unconscious, he even offered to help. Zhongyong's father didn't know how to react.

"Don't be ungrateful. Your son will die anyway. You don't want to be an old man burying his son, do you?"

As Art hoisted the man onto his shoulder, he spoke to Old Man Zhongyong.

Old Man Zhongyong couldn't understand this principle, so he nodded his thanks and followed him.

As he left, Art winked at Wen Meijiu, trying to curry favor with her, but Wen Meijiu rolled her eyes at him.

After the person was taken away, Wen Meijiu turned around and found that many villagers were watching her from a short distance away.

Time was of the essence, and she couldn't worry about anything else; she hurriedly went to find the village chief.

There's a small road not far away; Wen Meijiu inquired and found out that you can take a detour, but it's a bit far.

Wen Meijiu instructed the village chief to lead the villagers to take a detour via a side road, and to consult with Zhizheng if anything happened. After saying this, she felt much more at ease.

Wen Meijiu had originally intended to tell her parents, but then she thought better of it. She knew they would be worried sick if she told them.

What just happened has already frightened my family, and we can't afford any more trouble.

Her father had difficulty walking, and her mother had to take care of him, so they usually didn't leave their own carriage. They would always call Qi Wenjing and Ma Rulan to ask about things. So she asked the two maids to take good care of her parents and lie for her. If her parents asked and she couldn't avoid it, she would say that she and Ate had gone out to buy grain.

In fact, Wen Meijiu didn't plan to bring Ate along because her parents didn't like Ate associating with her. By saying this, her mother wouldn't be able to inquire with Ate, and would most likely believe it.

Furthermore, she said she went out with Art, pretending that having a strong and healthy man by her side would put her mother at ease.

After giving her instructions, Wen Meijiu took advantage of her parents' inattention and disappeared in a flash.

Having run to a secluded spot, Wen Meijiu thought that the black-clad leader had been given a sedative, which should have taken effect by now.

Although that group of people were riding horses, they couldn't go very far with an injured person on their backs. If she had a horse now, she could catch up with them very quickly.

It's pitch black on this road, so where are we going to find a horse? It's really a difficult situation.

After thinking it over, Wen Meijiu ventured into the space again.
