Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos
Chapter 28: Donate half of the reward to the village
The morning mist floats among the fields like a veil, and the sunlight penetrates the clouds and shines on the earth, making it as beautiful and charming as a fairyland.
For breakfast, Yao Qingnian cooked white porridge and served it with cold wild vegetables. Looking at the thick white porridge, Liu Shuyue began to feel distressed again. The two taels of silver she earned from selling the wild boar could not withstand such a treatment.
Yinuo drank the sweet white porridge with a satisfied look on his face.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the quiet village. It was the officials who came to the village. The villagers didn't know what was going on and thought someone had committed a crime, so they ran out to see what was going on.
"We are officials from the county. May I ask where Yao Qingnian's home is?"
Everyone was wondering why the police came to look for Yao Qingnian so early in the morning. Some people were gloating over the misfortune and said, "He must have done something shameful. We'll know if we follow him and see for ourselves."
The officer asked a villager for directions.
Led by the villagers, the police officers came to the door of the Lu family and asked, "Lu family, is anyone here?"
"Yes, who is it?"
Yao Qingnian was turning over her dried ferns in the yard. Liu Shuyue opened the door and saw the officers on horseback with swords. She was so scared that her heart skipped a beat.
Someone informed the village chief, and after hearing the news, the village chief also rushed to the Lu family.
"Sir, what are you doing?"
What had Yao Qingnian done wrong? Even the police were alarmed, and Liu Shuyue was panicking.
"Is Yao Qingnian here?"
Yao Qingnian heard the noise and came out.
"It is me, sir. What's the matter?"
"I am here to follow the order of the county magistrate and bring you the reward of twenty taels of silver to thank you for helping the government capture the fugitive."
"Yao Qingnian caught the fugitive?"
"Haven't you heard? Human traffickers came to our village yesterday. Fortunately, Yao Qingnian found them."
"Is there still such a thing?"
The villagers whispered.
The officer handed the silver to Yao Qingnian, who was stunned for a moment.
"Qing Nian, why don't you thank the officer quickly?"
The village chief looked at Yao Qingnian who was in a daze and reminded her, thinking that she was so happy that she was stupid.
"Thank you, sir!"
She took the silver, bowed, and took out another tael of silver and handed it to the official.
"You have worked hard, sir. Take this tael of silver and spend it on a drink."
Yao Qingnian took out a tael of silver and stuffed it into the official's hand. The official nodded with satisfaction. Since ancient times, people have to have the proper social etiquette. Who would complain about having too much silver?
"Miss Yao is very skilled, the county magistrate praised her highly. If there is nothing else, we will go back and report."
"I respectfully bid you farewell, sir. Please take care."
The village chief and others respectfully escorted the official out of the door. The onlookers were dumbfounded. Twenty taels of silver! Some were envious and some were jealous.
"Qingnian, you have brought honor to our village this time!" The village chief was proud of it. He didn't expect that Yao Qingnian had such great skills besides medicine.
"Village chief, I was just lucky to run into this. By the way, take out ten taels of silver and donate it to the village. It's hard for you to make this trip. If it weren't for you, those two people wouldn't have been caught so quickly."
Yao Qingnian thought that getting so much silver would definitely arouse the jealousy of many people, so he might as well donate half of it to the village. The money in the village can be used for everyone, so those people will have nothing to say.
"Yao Qingnian, have you thought it through? This is ten taels of silver, not one tael."
"I've thought about it, village chief. Only when the village is doing well can we live well. You can take this silver."
The village chief nodded with satisfaction and took the ten taels of silver. The villagers watched as Yao Qingnian took out the silver without blinking an eye and praised her for her righteousness. After these incidents, everyone's impression of Yao Qingnian has changed a lot, and she is no longer labeled as a "vicious woman".
"Then I would like to thank you on behalf of the villagers. We will all remember your contribution to the village."
Ten taels of silver is a huge sum of money for an ordinary family. If you save it, it is enough to feed the family for one or two years and to marry two wives.
The surprise came too suddenly, and Liu Shuyue hasn't even recovered yet. Her wife is becoming more and more impressive to her.
Yao Qingnian was overjoyed holding the remaining nine taels of silver in his hand, and put the silver into the space.
"Mom, I'm going to go to the city today to buy some offal. Offal can make money, so I should continue doing it."
"Okay, go ahead."
Because of this delay, he didn't know whether he could catch up with the ox cart. When Yao Qingnian walked towards the village entrance, Uncle Tiezhu's ox cart had already left.
It seems I can only go there tomorrow. It will take more than three hours to walk there. It will take me a long time to get there. I will be exhausted.
Yao Qingnian was about to go back when Ye Youcai came over driving a ox cart.
"Yao Qingnian, where are you going?"
Ye Youcai also saw her and walked up to her and asked.
"I want to go to the county town, but Uncle Tiezhu's oxcart has left, so I can only go tomorrow."
"I just happened to be going to the county town to deliver something, come up."
Yao Qingnian got on the ox cart and sat down. There were a few bamboo rats on the cart.
"Brother Ye, are you delivering the wild animals?"
The two began to chat.
"Let's go to the county town to see if there is anything I can do. Hunting for prey outside the mountains is becoming increasingly difficult. Huai Jin and the others are not here, and I dare not go into the mountains alone."
Ye Youcai mentioned Lu Huaijin several times, and she didn't know what kind of person her cheap husband was. Except for the contact on the wedding night, the two of them had not spoken much, and the original owner didn't know him either.
"Is Lu Huaijin very powerful?"
Realizing that the question he asked was a little funny, Yao Qingnian explained, "I only spent a few days with him before he went to the battlefield."
Ye Youcai looked like he understood.
"Huai Jin is the smartest and most clever among us. He is very skilled and loyal. Let me tell you, one time, we met wolves in the mountains. Huai Jin fought off the wolves alone and asked us to retreat first. In the end, he came out covered in wounds. Since then, we have been friends for life..."
Along the way, Ye Youcai kept talking about Lu Huaijin, which made Yao Qingnian curious about her "husband".
When they arrived at the county town, Ye Youcai went about his own business, and the two agreed to meet at the parking lot at 3:15 p.m.
After getting off the bus, Yao Qingnian went straight to the meat stall. There were several meat stalls. She walked to the stall closest to her. There were two butcher tables with a row of pork hanging on them.
"Girl, where are you buying meat? One cut is ten cents, and fat is twelve cents."
There is still wild boar meat and bones in Yao Qingnian’s space refrigerator, so he doesn’t need to buy any meat for the time being.
"Boss, do you have any pig offal?"
"Girl, what are you doing here, you stinky thing?"
"It has its own uses"
"Yes, if you want it, it's two cents. Take it all."
The boss took out a wooden barrel, revealing the sewage inside. Someone bought it so he wouldn't have to throw it away.
"Okay, thanks, boss!"
Yao Qingnian spent two cents to buy a bucket of sewage. When no one was around, he sealed it in a bag and threw it into the space. He couldn't go shopping with this stinky thing in his hand, or he would be chased and beaten.
