A group of people and three horses drove towards the county town.

Xiao Yifeng looked Jiang Yutong's horse up and down and said, "Your horse is quite good."

Jiang Yutong was a little proud, "I stole this horse. I bought it for ten taels of silver."

Seeing Jiang Yutong showing her little girl form for the first time, Xiao Yifeng smiled and said, "Then this horse is worth buying."

Jiang Yuwen quickly praised, "Yutong, you're amazing. This horse is worth at least fifty or sixty taels of silver. You really stole the show."

They chatted and laughed on the way and soon arrived at Xiayuan Village. Jiang Yuwen still couldn't help but take a look inside.

Jiang Yutong remained calm and quickened the pace of the horse.

The three horses quickly left the boundaries of Xiayuan Village.

When they arrived at the county town, Jiang Yuwen glanced at Xiao Yifeng, then at his sister. He wanted Jiang Yutong to go with them, but then he remembered their mission and hesitated to speak.

Xiao Yifeng spoke up, "Do you have a place to live? Why don't you stay with us for a while first?"

Jiang Yutong quickly shook her head. "No need. My house can be renovated and it will be fine. I'm staying at Jingshui Tower these days. You can come find me there if you need anything."

"Okay then. We live on the east side of the city. This is the address. If you need anything, you can come find us here."

Jiang Yutong took the address and said goodbye to them.

Jiang Yuwen took one last look at his sister and realized that she had really grown up and had her own opinions.

"gone."

Xiao Yifeng shouted at Jiang Yuwen.

Jiang Yuwen followed Xiao Yifeng reluctantly.

Jiang Yutong has a lot of things to do. She has not yet found the recipe for MSG. She also wants to buy a farm near the county town to produce soap. Now that her brother is back, and Yu Xueyi and his sister will be there, the house is still not big enough.

It is more convenient to find a special farm for the production of soap.

She led the carriage and soon arrived at Jingshui Tower.

Yu Xueyi saw that it was Jiang Yutong and came forward happily, "Sister Yutong, you are here."

Jiang Yutong smiled and handed the carriage to Yu Xueyi. "Yes, I may have to stay here for a long time this time, so you can see me every day."

"That's great! Huanhuan will definitely be very happy."

Jiang Yutong asked in a fake tone, "I'm just happy, why aren't you happy?"

Yu Xueyi touched his head and said, "Of course I'm happy."

Jiang Yutong laughed and said, "Go get busy."

It was the same room she stayed in last time, and Jiang Yutong booked it for a month.

When Shopkeeper Liu saw Jiang Yutong, he said, "Yutong, you're just in time."

Shopkeeper Liu came forward and said, "Last time you mentioned the sale of your son, our young master's friend is here and wants to meet you to discuss it."

Jiang Yutong nodded and agreed, "I'm free, you can arrange it."

"Okay, I'll let you know once I've confirmed the time."

Jiang Yutong went upstairs and had just put her things away when Shi Donglian arrived.

When Shi Donglian heard Manager Liu say that Jiang Yutong was in the room, she went upstairs directly.

"Yutong."

Jiang Yutong heard the voice and opened the door, "Sister Donglian, why are you here? I said I would come to see you this afternoon."

Shi Donglian's tone was a little excited, "Yutong, you are finally here. Let me tell you, something terrible is happening."

Jiang Yutong welcomed Shi Donglian into the room and said, "Don't worry, tell me what happened slowly."

Shi Donglian breathed a sigh of relief. "I went to check out your house today and it stank to high heaven. When I opened the door, I saw it was filled with garbage and urine."

Shi Donglian saw that Jiang Yutong looked unhappy, so she spoke more and more quietly.

Jiang Yutong felt sick just by listening to Shi Donglian's description.

This old man from the Cheng family is really a piece of shit.

It seems that the Cheng family’s affairs must be dealt with immediately.

"Sister Donglian, please arrange for a few people to clean up first. This must have been done by the old man next door. I will come and take care of it tonight."

Jiang Yutong told Shi Donglian about his plan.

The more Shi Donglian listened, the wider her eyes opened. After listening, she gave Jiang Yutong a thumbs up.

On the other side, Ning Zhengsong set out early in the morning and arrived at the county town.

He found Hanbo Academy, where Ning Zhengqing was attending classes. Ning Zhengsong waited at the door until the get out of class was over at noon, and then he saw Ning Zhengqing coming out with a book in his hand.

"Zhengqing."

Ning Zhengqing looked towards the voice, greeted Ye Jingming, and then walked towards Ning Zhengsong.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Ning Zhengsong looked around and saw that it was crowded with people and not a good place to talk. "Let's find a place. I have something to talk to you."

Ning Zhengqing followed Ning Zhengsong's gaze and nodded, "Then wait here for me. I'll put the books away and we'll go have lunch."

Ning Zhengsong continued to stay in the corner waiting for Ning Zhengqing, and sometimes he received strange looks.

After a while, Ning Zhengqing stepped out of the academy again, "Let's go."

Ning Zhengsong followed Ning Zhengqing to a noodle restaurant.

After walking such a long way, Ning Zhengsong was also hungry. He finished a bowl of noodles in just a few mouthfuls. At this time, Ning Zhengqing was still chewing slowly, "Is that enough? If not, order another bowl."

Ning Zhengsong shook his head, "That's enough."

Ning Zhengsong looked at his younger brother opposite him. The two brothers looked a bit similar, but Ning Zhengsong had been used to doing farm work since he was a child, so he had dark skin and a strong body.

Ning Zhengqing has been able to read since he was a child and has been the darling of Ning Yao. He doesn't have to do any work and has naturally fair skin and tender flesh. Coupled with the scholarly air, he is quite good, otherwise Ye Xiujun would not have taken a fancy to him.

After Ning Zhengqing finished eating, he found a corner and said, "Brother, what do you want to talk to me about? Tell me."

Ning Zhengsong sighed and told the story of Jiang Yuwen causing a scene at the Ning family yesterday. "They even chopped off my mother's hair."

Our hair is given by our parents, and we won't cut our hair unless there is a special reason. A large piece of hair was cut off directly from the top of our head. You can imagine how painful it is.

Ning Zhengqing frowned when he heard this, "Did they say anything else?"

"Jiang Yuwen asked us to pay back the silver we owed for the past five years, a total of fifty taels. As you know, the bandits stole all the silver from our family last time, so we can't even come up with the fifty taels. Mother didn't care about her hair and lay down in a panic."

Ning Zhengqing didn't expect Jiang Yuwen to come back so soon. Although he was prepared, he was just a scholar and there was no way he could come up with so much money.

In preparation for next year's exam, he now helps copy books in his free time, but he doesn't earn much. Now he really can't come up with such a large sum of money in a short time.

"Are Jiang Yuwen and the others still in Shangyuan Village?"

Ning Zhengsong shook his head. "No, they came to the county town. They said they would come to the county town to look for you in three days."

He was walking halfway that morning when he heard the sound of horse hooves and hid himself early to avoid any trouble.

When Ning Zhengqing heard that Jiang Yuwen was coming to the academy to find him, his brows furrowed even deeper. This meant that he would not be given any chance to survive. "Brother, go back. I'll figure out a solution for this matter. You take care of mom."

Ning Zhengsong nodded and said, "Don't worry, talk to them properly. When you pass the imperial examination next year, your family won't be in such a difficult situation anymore."

"I understand. Go back."

After watching Ning Zhengsong leave, Ning Zhengqing looked up and walked towards the academy. The afternoon class was very important.

He will take a day off tomorrow and think of a solution.
