Super rare beast girl, run away! The emperor's uncle is coming!
Chapter 29 Wang Zhubu
After hearing what her daughter said, Old Lady Xu looked at Wu with an even colder look. This lazy woman wanted to abandon her and her daughter, but it was impossible.
"My eldest grandson lives in the school, so he doesn't need you to serve him. And I don't know when Shuliang will be back, so I'll give up the small courtyard in the town and you can all move back."
"What? How could you do this, mother?"
Wu's voice immediately rose a few notches when she heard her words. Even Qu Xiuxiu's face darkened. She said it wasn't so easy to leave. This old woman had no one to serve her. She was just as lazy as her daughter. In the past, it was only Qu Jingyao's family who were so stupid...
Qu Xiuxiu said she didn't want to stay in the village at all, and hurried forward to help persuade her: "Grandma, you don't want your brother to fail the exam, right? He always says that he can't get used to the food in the school. Aren't we going back to take care of him?"
"Stop it, I think you just want to be lazy." After Qu Huaer finished speaking, a hint of displeasure flashed in the old woman Xu's drooping eyes. She shouted at the two of them with a gloomy look that as long as her son didn't come back, no one could leave.
Old Mrs. Xu cursed the two of them in a foul language, accusing them of not knowing if they would have affairs outside while their husbands were away, and that it was impossible for them to leave.
Wu slapped her thigh and sat down on the ground, wailing, "Mother, how could you say that to me and my daughter? If outsiders knew about this, our reputation would be ruined, and your son's reputation would be ruined too. I'm going to die!"
As the lively cries grew louder, the surrounding villagers were attracted over.
When Baiguo returned from the headman's house, the Qu family courtyard was already surrounded by people.
She spat at the Qu family with disdain: "Bah, if it weren't for my wife, I would have killed that old thing."
Baiguo sneered sarcastically, turned around and left.
When Baiguo returned to the yard, he saw the lady and the young lady chatting in the vegetable garden under the fence.
"Madam, I'm back. Aunt Cuilian and Miss Lingling will be here soon. The young master asked the young lady to get ready. They will harness the carriage and come over."
After she finished speaking, Qu Jingyao nodded slightly, ran into the house to get some things and left. Liu behind her told her to buy some clothes and new shoes for Baiguo.
Qu Jingyao looked at the pair of tattered shoes on Baiguo's feet, her face was stunned, and she explained that it was her negligence and let Baiguo wear hers first.
"No, no, Miss..." Bai Guo shook her head to refuse, but Qu Jingyao ignored her and took out the newly bought dress and a pair of shoes for her to try on first to see if they fit. If not, she could go to town to buy more.
Liu also persuaded her that she would no longer be a wandering beggar, and that she should change into new clothes and start a new life.
Liu's words touched Bai Guo's heart. She had been living in the Dark Guard Camp before, always wearing black tights. Looking at the floral linen dress in her hand, a glint of joy flashed in her eyes, and she held it tightly in her arms as if it were a treasure.
This was her first time wearing a skirt, and Qu Jingyao urged her to go in and change, as her brother would be back soon.
"Okay, Miss, I'll be right there."
After saying this, the man ran into the house happily.
Liu tapped her daughter's forehead in a stern tone, "Don't be so harsh on Bai Guo. I feel sorry for this child."
"Mother, you must be on guard against others. You must remember that you must not let her know about what happened in the valley."
Qu Jingyao repeatedly warned Liu, fearing that she would be soft-hearted...
Liu nodded helplessly and agreed to her.
"You... you... all right. Be careful in town and come back early. Did you bring the silver?"
Qu Jingyao held Liu's hand and a faint smile appeared on her face.
"I still have some, don't worry about having enough. Just keep the ones I gave you. Don't forget that you still need to find a wife for your brother in the future."
As she was speaking, Baiguo shyly walked out of the house. The mother and daughter looked at the blush on her face and laughed out loud.
"I didn't expect Baiguo to be such a pretty girl. That's just right." Liu looked at the little girl in front of her and couldn't understand why her daughter was so cautious with her.
Aunt Cui Lian's voice came from outside the yard, and Lingling ran to Qu Jingyao in a blink of an eye.
"Yaoyao, I'm here. What do you want to talk to me and mother about?"
Liu took Aunt Cui Lian's hand and walked towards the house. Qu Jingyao gestured to Lingling that she could follow them in to take a look, as she still had to go to the town and would come back to talk to her later.
Lingling frowned and pulled her hand and shook it.
"Then come back early, I'll wait for you."
Following Qu Qingchen's call, she comforted Lingling with a few words and then called Baiguo and walked out of the yard with the backpack.
The one driving the cart was the uncle who was in the village, and my brother was sitting on the shaft beside him.
"Uncle Village Chief, you've worked so hard to come along for the ride."
"You brothers and sisters, please don't be so polite. This is my job as the village head. Sit tight and leave."
He cracked the whip and the ox cart set off.
The ox cart swayed all the way towards the outside of the village. Baiguo looked at the connected mountains in the distance and asked the headman why this village was called Lingshui Village. Is there really spiritual water?
The head of the village laughed out loud. This was just a legend, passed down by the older generation. It was said that there was indeed a spring in these mountains that supplied water all year round. Even if the water was drained out, it would soon come out again, and the water had the effect of strengthening the body.
Bai Guo asked curiously, "Is this true?"
"It's just a legend, no one has ever seen it!" The headman cracked the whip in his hand.
As they were chatting and laughing, the ox cart soon arrived at the gate of Ruyang City. There were many people entering the city in front, and the ox cart slowly followed the crowd in line and drove into the city.
The village head drove the ox cart directly to the county government office. He handed the ox cart to Qu Qingchen and told him to wait here.
The head of the village spoke a few words to the yamen runner in front of the door. The runner had a cold and serious expression. Qu Jingyao took out a tael of silver from his purse and motioned Baiguo to hand it over.
Bai Guo nodded in understanding, stepped forward and stuffed the silver into the yamen runner's hand: "Thank you for your hard work, brother. Take this with you to have some tea. I hope you can help me."
The yamen runner who had just had a serious expression on his face immediately relaxed a lot as he counted the silver in his hand.
"The little girl is quite sensible. Come on in. Turn left and that's where the household registration deed is."
A flash of anger appeared in the eyes of the village head. This group of people really did not want to do anything without a profit. Qu Jingyao stepped forward and pulled the village head's sleeve, shaking his head slightly with a signal.
He reluctantly led the two of them inside.
After seeing the man go in, the yamen runner called the person next to him over and whispered a few words in his ear. The man turned around with a wicked smile in his eyes and walked into the yamen.
Qu Qingchen saw this scene clearly. He frowned, looked at the reins in his hand, and could only wait quietly by the side helplessly.
After passing through the hanging flower gate, we arrived at a government office where a middle-aged man was sitting.
"Master Wang, I am the head of Lingshui Village. I'm here today to handle household registration and this girl's indenture."
The man raised his eyelids and glanced at a few people, then slowly picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip and slowly put it down.
