Rebirth of an Old Farmer: Escape from Famine with Children and Grandchildren

However, he had no choice but to suppress his impatience and first sealed the Liu family, then assigned his men to distribute the property seized from the house to the people and disperse the crowd, thus completely clearing the house.

It's not that he is merciful, but he is actually in the center of the storm and cannot afford any more mistakes.

After doing all this, County Magistrate Ren was disheartened.

At this time, Ren Moxuan walked in.

Seeing his father in such a situation, Ren Moxuan not only did not feel distressed, but instead felt gloating.

"I told father a long time ago that Liu Zijing had bad intentions, but he refused to believe me."

"Now that I've offended the new recruit, I'm afraid my life will be difficult in the future."

"Rebel!"

County Magistrate Ren was furious and picked up the teacup and threw it at Ren Moxuan.

Ren Moxuan turned his head slightly, avoiding the teacup that was handed to him, and met his angry father's gaze calmly, with no fear on his face.

"Father, don't you really want to give up and just throw the broken jar into the ground?"

Although the county magistrate felt the urge to strangle this rebellious son, he sensed something unusual in his son's words. "What do you mean by that?"

Ren Moxuan raised an eyebrow, a faint smile playing on his lips. "The meaning is very simple. Father was indeed wrong in this matter, but the mistake was not fatal. Moreover, I was the one who saved the general's wife in the first place."

When the "General's Wife" was mentioned, Ren Moxuan couldn't help but frown.

"If our family settles all grievances, at least there will be a decent outcome."

These words made County Magistrate Ren slightly startled: "You mean..."

Facing his father, Ren Moxuan showed unusual patience.

"It's time to make a decision, Dad. Do you really want to be controlled by a petty village head for the rest of your life?"

Ren Moxuan's eyes grew colder. "Those ignorant fools dare to ride roughshod over us just by relying on their connection with Li Yugui, the garrison commander."

"How can he be so worthy!"

Ren Moxuan is by no means as dissolute and incompetent as he appears. He has long understood why his father had to bow to the Liu family, but the more he understands, the stronger his resentment becomes.

County Magistrate Ren was touched by his son's words, and a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.

But he remained calm: "This matter requires careful consideration. If I act too ostentatiously, my reputation will be damaged. You go down first, and let me think it over."

Ren Moxuan knew his father's temper very well, and when he heard this, he knew that his father most likely agreed.

So he said nothing more and turned away.

In the study, County Magistrate Ren sat alone for the entire night.

……

Su Nianying pushed open the door quietly and found that the room was empty. Shu Yan was obviously not there.

As soon as he arrived in Huizhou, even though Shu Yan was extremely reluctant, there were countless matters waiting for him to deal with.

This gave Su Nianying an opportunity.

There was silence all around. Su Nianying walked to the bedside and saw the unconscious woman lying on the bed at a glance.

She couldn't help but start to examine it.

The woman was extremely thin, with sunken cheeks, making her look even older.

The exposed skin was a sallow color, especially the hands covered with chilblains and calluses, which felt as rough and prickly as sandpaper.

In addition to the scars caused by being dragged, large areas of skin were bloody.

The left side of his face was severely disfigured, and the bloody and mangled face was frightening.

This is the old lady.

Su Nianying pondered secretly in her heart. She looked around at her four grandchildren, trying to find a mirror to throw directly in front of the woman, but found nothing.

You don't have to think too much to know who issued the ban.

Su Nianying felt increasingly depressed.

If Shu Yan's wife was actually a gentle, beautiful, brave and generous woman, perhaps she would have given up, but she happened to be such an old woman!

Therefore, she felt only resentment in her heart.

Although Brother Shu is a little older, he is a man who ages well. He still looks strong and powerful, exuding the charm of a mature man.

This woman is nothing like him. She could totally be Brother Shu’s mother!

Su Nianying was secretly thinking in her heart, walking to the bedside, and suddenly and cruelly pressed down the back of Sun Wan's hand that had just been scarred.

The newly healed wound on the back of his hand opened again, and blood gushed out, a glaring red.

"Ouch!" Sun Wan in the vegetable garden couldn't help but scream. She was busy tending to the lush green vegetables.

She raised her head, frowning, and muttered to herself, "Strange, why does it hurt so suddenly?"

"Maybe I worked too hard?"

Sun Wan muttered to herself, and seeing that the vegetable garden was almost done, she sat down on the ground beside the spiritual spring and took a rest.

The spiritual spring was as clear as a mirror. Sun Wan could clearly see her haggard face reflected in it when she lowered her head, which made her look even more miserable.

Sun Wan sighed softly and casually moved the water surface. Water droplets slid down from between her fingers. The back of her hand, which had been so painful just now, strangely no longer felt any pain.

"Huh?" Sun Wan suddenly had an inspiration. She found a bowl, filled it with spiritual spring water, and soaked her hands in it.

About an incense stick's time passed, and Sun Wan pulled her hand away. She was surprised to find that the wound on the back of her hand seemed to have healed almost completely. Although the change was subtle, it was real.

This spiritual spring water actually has such miraculous effects!

Sun Wan was very happy, and then she hurriedly brought a large wooden barrel and filled it with clear spiritual spring water.

There was no one around, so Sun Wan simply immersed herself in the bucket, letting the cool and delicate spring water wrap every inch of her skin. She felt so comfortable that she couldn't help but hum softly.

This soak lasts for a whole day.

When he stood up, although the scars on his body had not completely disappeared, they were no longer so severe that they would break at the slightest touch, and he would not repeat the same mistake.

After Sun Wan took a bath, the feeling of hunger miraculously disappeared. Instead, the water in the bucket became turbid and dull, as if all the vitality had been absorbed by Sun Wan.

Just as Sun Wan was about to pour the water on the soil, her spirit was suddenly drawn again, becoming even more rude and impolite than before!

When I woke up, although my eyes were open, my consciousness was still unclear.

"Wan'er!" Shu Yan's anxious call came from my ear. On the other side, that familiar voice said in a low voice: "He's still alive. Just take care of himself slowly."

Isn’t this voice Doctor Qinglu?

Sun Wan came back to her senses all of a sudden and opened her tired eyes with difficulty. Sure enough, she saw Doctor Qinglu in green standing there, and in front of her stood several soldiers with serious and fierce expressions.

Deputy General Lin glanced at him coldly: "Please stay in the Military Advisor's Mansion for the time being."

He went on to explain, “This is so that if the patient has an emergency, they can find a doctor as soon as possible.”

Doctor Qinglu was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He said angrily: "You!"

Sun Wan recalled the extremely stubborn Dr. Qinglu she had met at the clinic and quickly interrupted, "No need."

She said firmly, "Dr. Qinglu's medical skills are very advanced. If she says there's no problem, then there's absolutely no problem."

Although her voice was hoarse, she successfully attracted everyone's attention when she spoke.

"I feel much better now, please don't embarrass Doctor Qinglu."

She pleaded sincerely, hoping to calm down this pointless dispute.

Hearing Sun Wan's plea, Lieutenant General Lin's expression softened instantly. He immediately clasped his fists and apologized: "As you command!"
