All the remaining human trafficking gangs in the county were arrested.

Of course, the credit goes not only to the town’s yamen runners, but also to the help of the county’s yamen runners.

Although this incident happened in the town, it also happened in the county. The county magistrate was furious when he heard about it and immediately sent many yamen runners to capture these human traffickers and rescue more kidnapped children.

Ever since those human traffickers were arrested, no one lost anything in the village anymore. Later, some people discovered that the things that were thought to have been stolen by Erbazi and Shuanzi were actually stolen by those human traffickers, and the arrested traffickers all confessed.

Since then, Erbazi and Shuanzi were cleared of the charges, but it was true that they stole things from Zhao Guocheng's house. So, they worked diligently during this period and were very tired, and they also changed a lot.

They are no longer just playing around and trying to get something for nothing like before, but now they think they can make a living by working, and they are quite satisfied.

Zhao Guocheng even went to the town on purpose to watch the human traffickers being paraded through the streets. He threw a lot of vegetable leaves and cow dung at the traffickers, and they almost made them kneel down and beg for mercy.

This disgusting thing made the townspeople shudder at the sight of it. They didn’t expect that someone so ruthless would come!

When I found out he was the victim’s father, I suddenly understood.

Zhao Guocheng also saw the woman he met on the way back from Wangjia Village. He didn't expect that this woman was really one of the human trafficking gang. Zhao Guocheng was very grateful for his sixth sense and guess. Although the children were kidnapped in the end, he was so angry when he thought of this. He threw cow dung directly on the woman's face, and then squatted down to hide until there was nothing left to throw in the cloth bag beside him.

After a few days of recuperation, Zhao Shihui's face had obviously recovered, but was still slightly swollen, and he had to apply cold compresses every day. After taking medicine for three days, the injuries on his body were obviously much better.

In fact, there were a few bruises on his feet, and after applying blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment, they felt much better.

In the past few days, Zhao Shihui was being served like a little master, and Wang Ronghua was very nervous.

The urgent urge to be good to him after regaining what he had lost was uncontrollable.

Almost surpassed Zhao Shiying.

Fortunately, Zhao Shiying recovered as normal after two days of rest.

This thrilling incident not only made these families keep a closer eye on their children, but also made other people in the village stop letting their children go out to play.

When word got out about this, people from other villages became even stricter in disciplining their children. They didn't allow children to be in the village and forced them to either work with the family or help out at home.

At this time, news came from the county that all the human traffickers had been executed and would have to spend the rest of their lives in prison. Ah Mo's leg was also fractured. The most seriously injured was Ah Biao, who not only had a bruised head but also a broken leg. It was said that even if he recovered, he would still be a standard cripple.

The horse was sold, and the proceeds were used to compensate the victims. But unexpectedly, the horse actually found its mother, and both mother and son were in the hands of the horse dealer. The joy of family reunion brought tears to the eyes of the two horses.

***

In the blink of an eye it is the tenth day of August.

Some families' rice is ready to be harvested, and the harvest season has begun.

"Mom, I'm fine. Can I go out and play?" Zhao Shihui looked at Wang Ronghua with longing.

You know, he has been at home for many days and hasn't even left the yard.

Zhao Shimin and Zhao Shisheng had even less time to go out and play, as they had to receive a lot of goods at home during this period.

Plums, dried peach preserves, dried apricot preserves, mushroom pate, etc. have to be sent to the town every day, and the family at the end of the village is very busy.

Although the traffickers were caught, the villagers were still worried that another group of traffickers would suddenly appear and snatch the children.

“No means no. If you feel bored, just write big characters at home, read or help with the housework. There are so many chores to do at home anyway. Don’t you see Shimin and Shengzi are working? And I haven’t settled the score with you yet. If you hadn’t been injured, I would not have let it go like this. Who told you to take Nannan to the village entrance to play? You are so busy that you have to tear down the roof every day. And next time, don’t call me mother, and I will pretend that I don’t have a son like you.” Wang Ronghua would not let Huizi go out to play alone, even if several children went out to play together. She almost lost her soul because of what happened last time, and she never wanted to experience it again.

Huizi had no choice but to help with the work, otherwise his mother would come after him. He thought he would be beaten, but he didn't expect that his parents only taught him a lesson and didn't beat him.

Zhao Shimin looked at the bored Huizi with her eyes rolling around.

"Huizi, your injury has healed, so you should be able to work harder, right? How about this, let's have a competition. If you can do more than us, you win, and then your parents can reward you." Zhao Shimin suggested with a smile.

"Okay, isn't it just picking and washing grapes? Who can't do it?" Zhao Shihui took the bait as he wished.

[Stupid second brother! He seems to have been beaten stupid! ] Zhao Shiying commented.

Everyone: "......"

Zhao Shihui: My little sister is really bad at talking. He agreed on purpose. If he wins, he will ask mom to buy him a bow and arrow. Then they can be jealous. Hum~~

The grapes harvested are all wild grapes grown on the mountains. They come in both green and purple varieties. Now is the peak season for harvesting them. They taste sour and sweet in the mouth. Zhao Shiying suggested using them to make wine.

So Wang Ronghua plans to make wine himself, and sell it later, which will be more valuable than selling it as it is now.

After all, fresh wild grapes are too cheap.

Of course, this season not only produces wild grapes, but also other fruits. The ones that are harvested in small quantities are directly made into various jams, and the ones that sell well will be sent to the town to sell the next day.

Relatively speaking, jam is more popular, and Chen Mansion and Yuelai Restaurant ordered a lot of jam.

It was obvious in this competition that Zhao Shihui and Zhao Shisheng tied with Zhao Shimin, so there was no need to think about the bow and arrow.

In the blink of an eye it is August 15th.

After delivering the goods today, Zhao Guocheng bought some meat, melon seeds, moon cakes and other pastries.

A piece of meat was sent to Zhao Dagen’s old house.

Ever since the thief was caught, the relationship between Zhao Guocheng's family and the old house has improved a lot.

Fortunately, I had the help of Erbazi and Shuanzi during this period, otherwise I would not have been able to make so much jam and wine.

Of course, Wang Ronghua didn't let anyone know the key technology. He just let the two of them handle some of the preliminary work, such as cleaning, drying and storing these things, and then let them herd cattle, cut some grass to feed the sheep, or go up the mountain to pick grapes.

The two lambs have grown quite a bit and have long been weaned.

In the past few days, the ewe has stopped producing milk and has no milk for Zhao Shiying to drink.

Zhao Shiying was unhappy for several days, but she gave up only after Wang Ronghua promised to give her something delicious to eat.

"Come on, come on, let's worship the Moon God and hope for happiness for the whole family, peace for everyone, prosperity in business, and everything goes well!" Wang Ronghua said as he took the lead in worshiping the moon hanging in the sky.

The moonlight in the yard was as bright as during the day, and the altar was filled with incense, candles, fruits for worship, snacks and moon cakes.

After a busy day, they would have dinner and wait for the moon to come out and hang high in the sky before they would start worshiping the moon god.

This is the custom in their village, which happens every year.

Wealthier families offer more tributes and bigger incense sticks.

Poorer families also offer sacrifices, but their practices are simpler.

This year, Zhao Guocheng was very attentive and prepared quite a lot.

Zhao Shimin, Zhao Shihui, Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shiying also knelt beside them, kowtowed and made wishes!

After the worship is completed, you can start eating the food on the altar after a quarter of an hour.

"This is delicious."

"I want to eat mooncakes."

"I want one too."

"Everyone has it, don't fight over it!"

A few children's voices are heard, it turns out that the farm is having fun, it is the fifteenth day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone is happily reunited!

Not only at the end of the village, but also in other houses in the village, there was laughter and joy.

......

The next day.

Zhao Guocheng delivered two batches of goods to the town.
