Traveling to ancient times? Break off the relationship first! Then divorce! Make a lot of money
Chapter 72 Clearing the Name
The village headman stepped forward in fear, dropped to his knees, and kowtowed, saying, "I am Yuan Huaiyi, the village headman of Yuanjia Village, and I pay my respects to the County Magistrate."
The people around followed suit and knelt down, greetings coming one after another. Only Yuan Junyao stood calmly, with no intention of kneeling down.
She is not used to kneeling down to others, nor does she like kneeling down to others.
But her actions frightened Yuan Shisheng and Qi Meixiang again. They could only pray in their hearts that the county magistrate would not bother with her because of her mental disorder.
As for her divorce, just let her get divorced. She is so mentally unstable that she will get into trouble in her husband's family and will lose her life sooner or later.
And they couldn't just ignore her, even if she was mentally ill.
Qi Meixiang said anxiously, "Jun Yao, don't be rude in front of the county magistrate."
"Hurry up and kneel down." Yuan Shisheng also urged from the side.
Yuan Junyao ignored them and walked straight forward, saying, "Master Hu, why did you come in person? It's really a waste."
Hu Changgeng smiled gently. "How could I not care about your affairs? My father is here too, right behind you."
After Hu Changgeng replied to Yuan Junyao, he looked at the crowd and said, "Fellow villagers, please all stand up."
He actually hadn't planned to come, but his father forced him to come, saying that even if the two of them couldn't be together, Yuan Junyao was still his sister.
If He Li returns home now, she will definitely be ostracized, and even her parents' family may bully her, so he must come and support her so that others will not dare to look down on her.
Although Hu Changgeng felt that Yuan Junyao would never be bullied with her abilities, he still had to listen to his father, otherwise his father would beat him up.
Hu Changgeng and Yuan Junyao seemed to be very familiar with each other, which made the village head and others even more confused.
How could she, an ordinary country peasant girl, know the county magistrate?
The head of the village and Grandma Xiao were even more bold in thinking, was it because Yuan Junyao hooked up with the county magistrate that she divorced the Zhang family?
Yuan Shisheng and Qi Meixiang did not think so badly of their daughter, but they were wondering in their hearts how their daughter knew such a person?
The village head asked cautiously, "Sir, I wonder if you have any important business in Yuanjia Village?"
His gaze vaguely fell on the man next to Hu Changgeng.
The man had a goatee and looked to be in his thirties. He was wearing a long green gown, had a thin build, and his eyes were bright.
This is the county magistrate’s legal advisor—Zhu Yuanqing.
Zhu Yuanqing remained calm, with a faint smile, and nothing could be seen on his face.
The village head felt even more uncertain.
Hu Changgeng said, "I came here for my adopted sister."
Yuan Junyao was really touched this time. Hu Changgeng would definitely not do this for her. He was Uncle Hu.
Uncle Hu is so nice.
They met by chance, and she just saved his life with a simple effort, but he treated her so well.
The village head subconsciously glanced at Yuan Junyao, but still asked, "Who is your adopted sister?"
If it was just for Yuan Junyao, there would be no need to mobilize so many troops.
Hu Changgeng looked at Yuan Junyao and said softly, "My adopted sister is Junyao."
His father truly adopted Yuan Junyao as his adopted daughter, so Yuan Junyao was indeed his adopted sister.
His words also proved Yuan Junyao's innocence, and she did not cling to any man.
But she shouldn't divorce him even though he's her sworn brother, and she shouldn't spend money recklessly. After all, he's not her biological brother.
Isn’t this still despising the poor and favoring the rich?
So, if a woman suddenly makes money or becomes capable, people will speculate whether she has hooked up with some powerful man or whether it is the result of selling her body.
Whether in modern times or ancient times, outstanding people are always viewed with tinted glasses.
Yuan Shisheng's expression shifted from gloomy to bright. He stepped forward and asked doubtfully, "Sir, I have no talent or virtue, no strengths whatsoever. How could I possibly deserve to be recognized as your adopted sister?"
Hu Changgeng's eyes fell on him, and he unconsciously exuded a bit of authority when he heard the words. He asked in a deep voice, "Are you Jun Yao's father?"
Yuan Shisheng didn't dare look directly at Hu Changgeng. He even felt a little intimidated by him, his aura weakening considerably. He only whispered, "Yes, I am Yuan Junyao's biological father. My name is Yuan Shisheng."
"Ah."
Hu Changgeng responded softly, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. The silence was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. He only paused for a moment, but it made everyone feel like a long time had passed.
Hu Changgeng glanced at the crowd. More and more people were watching. He said loudly:
"Jun Yao performed a great deed, helping the government capture five criminals and saving my father's life.
My father has already adopted her as his adopted daughter, so I am naturally considered her adopted brother."
It turned out to be the case.
The village head breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile.
The clan leader's family always prided themselves on having the advantage of being able to marry the county magistrate's advisor. Now, their daughter has become the county magistrate's sister.
Yuan Shisheng frowned and said, "Sir, maybe we are mistaken? How could a weak woman like her help the government capture the bandits?"
Those five bandits were notorious and even the government couldn't do anything about them. He couldn't imagine how Yuan Junyao could help.
Hu Changgeng said calmly, "This involves government secrets, so I have no comment. Anyway, Jun Yao played an indispensable role in the arrest of those five criminals."
He said this to conceal the fact that Yuan Junyao knew martial arts, and to save face for the government.
After all, they had been trying to catch those guys for several months without success, and in the end they were found and subdued by a little girl. If they told anyone about this, they would be embarrassed.
As for Yuan Junyao's great contribution, it was recorded in the arrest warrant. Providing the whereabouts of the bandits to the government was also a great contribution.
The beheading of the bandit that day caused a huge sensation, so almost everyone heard about it.
Now it can explain why Yuan Junyao suddenly had so much silver. After all, it was fifty taels.
Hu Changgeng continued, "In addition to the fifty taels of cash reward from the government, the government will also give you an additional three mu of good farmland and a piece of residential land.
This time, I came here specifically for this matter. Yuanlizheng, I need your cooperation with the government to implement these matters."
The village head immediately nodded and bowed.
"Yes, yes, I will definitely cooperate actively."
With a homestead, fifty taels of reward money, and a sworn brother who is the county magistrate, it turns out that what Yuan Junyao said about building a house was true, and she really has the ability to do so.
Now Yuan Shisheng and Qi Meixiang were speechless.
"I'm here, I'm here to bring my daughter a dowry."
At this time, shouting was heard in the distance, and an ox cart came at the fastest speed, and the cart was full of things.
Yuan Junyao noticed at a glance that there were a lot more things on it, and the entire ox cart was filled.
