A good man does not suffer immediate losses.

Uncle Xu immediately ran over on his knees and hugged Xu Zhenhai's legs, tears streaming down his old face: "Second brother, this matter really has nothing to do with me. Someone must be wronging me. I am Ling'er's uncle. What good will it do me if I ruin her reputation? It must be that groom who acted on his own. I always feel that he has shifty eyes towards Ling'er. He must want others to ruin her because he can't have her himself. You must stand up for Ling'er, second brother..."

Xu Zhenhai still didn't understand anything at this point. He was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He kicked him away and said, "Brother, I have treated you well over the years. I will investigate the groom myself. As for you, I will investigate thoroughly. Come, bring the master back to the carriage and bring Zhang Qiang back to me as well. I want to interrogate him personally!"

Two servants came over from behind and dragged the two men onto the carriage, one on the left and one on the right. Zhang Qiang wanted to ask Ruyi'an to save him, but his mouth was immediately blocked.

After dealing with the two, Xu Zhenhai turned to look at Yun Zhenzhen and sighed helplessly: "It's all my fault. I usually pay too little attention to my family, which led to this incident. I really made Ruyi'an laugh at me."

"That's nothing, but Ling'er has suffered a lot during this period. She can't even contact her own father. She has suffered a lot here with me." Yun Zhenzhen smiled and stroked Ling'er's shoulder: "She is a good child, but she was plotted against in her own home for no reason. As the eldest daughter of the Xu family, her life has been more difficult than that of the girls in our village. Mr. Xu shouldn't be busy with business outside all day. He should pay attention to family matters. Don't let the child feel cold. It will be difficult to win her back then. I hope you cherish every moment."

"Mr. Ruyi'an is right. I will definitely correct my mistakes when I return." Xu Zhenhai nodded repeatedly, his face warm. "My daughter has disturbed your home for a long time. I don't have much to repay you with, so I brought some small gifts. I hope Mr. Ruyi'an will not dislike them."

He clapped his hands back, and two servants immediately carried several small boxes down from the carriage.

The first box contained some jewelry, jade and other items that the girls in the city liked, and he thought Ruyi'an would also like them.

The second small box contained various silver notes and silver ingots, which roughly looked like they amounted to several thousand taels. Who in the world doesn't love money? He felt that he had touched someone's heart.

The third small box contained some jewels and jades, which were exquisitely made and made people feel comfortable when they were placed at home.

The last small box contained some silks, handkerchiefs, silk flowers and the like, which were very suitable for making clothes.

When the people around saw this scene, they all gasped. The white silver and jewelry inside were so beautiful that they couldn't take their eyes off.

Even Yun Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment.

Xu Zhenhai looks a bit dull, but I didn't expect him to be so generous.

Several boxes were placed in the yard, and the things inside were piled together, which had a great visual impact on everyone.

Even Yun Zhenzhen, who had seen the prosperity of modern times, found this scene a little strange.

After being stunned for a while, he said calmly: "Ling'er and I are destined to be together. She just lived at home for a while. During this time, she also made enough food and clothing for herself, and did not cost me much money. The things you gave me are really too expensive. I am afraid I can't afford it."

Xu Linger quickly explained on her father's behalf: "Sister Yun, since it's a kind gesture from my father, please accept it. The food and shelter here are one thing, but the main reason is that you saved me. This kind of kindness cannot be repaid with countless gold and silver."

"You kid, I didn't save you for anything," Yun Zhenzhen said helplessly. She then took out a silver note from the box. "One hundred taels of silver is enough for me. Let your father take the rest. Such an expensive gift is truly dazzling. Take it home and keep it for yourself."

Ling'er had been looking forward to going home for a long time, but when the moment finally came, she realized that she had already felt reluctant to leave.

She walked into the yard and saw her elder brother Qin Li, who was worried about him, Awen, who was holding a book but looked over at her from time to time, Xiaonan, who was holding Dashan and Xiaoshan in the yard, Erya, who was always serving tea and water, and Yuncan, her cousin Yunjing, who had just rushed back from school...

The livestock in the backyard were chirping non-stop, and in the front yard, Sister Yun was talking to Dad. The days were still as peaceful as ever.

Qin Li saw her reluctance and walked over to comfort her softly, "Our sister Ling'er can finally go home. She doesn't have to stay in this small yard to work anymore and cry every night missing her parents..."

"Brother, why are you saying that? Didn't you bring up my sad story?" Xiao Nan came over at some point and stood beside Xu Ling'er: "Sister Ling'er, let's go. I'll go to the house with you to pack up."

Erya also came over quickly: "Let me help you. I packed a lot of things, and I'm afraid you won't be able to find them by yourselves."

When Xu Ling'er came, she was alone. Now that she is leaving, she has bought a lot of new clothes. Although they are all coarse linen, she cherishes them very much.

She picked up her bag and looked at the little sisters in front of her with great reluctance to leave. "I said I'd take you shopping in the city in a couple of days, but I didn't expect you to leave so soon. When you're free in the future, you must come to my house to play with me..."

"Sister Ling'er, don't be too sad. It's not like we won't see each other anymore. When you are free, you can come to our house and stay for a few more days." Xiao Nan stretched out his little hand and patted her arm.

Erya also nodded: "I made some cakes yesterday, you can take them with you on the road. I just learned how to make them, so you will definitely be able to eat less in the future."

Xiao Nan smiled and hugged her: "There is also a wooden sword I made myself, it's very small, Sister Ling'er can take it back as a souvenir..."

Ling'er listened to their nagging instructions and was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.

She has no brothers or sisters of her own, only a few cousins. Although they are closely related by blood, her father is not at home all year round, so she is not very close to them, which isolates her instead.

After arriving at Qinjia Village, she met several younger girls, including Daya, who was one year younger than her, Erya, who was three or four years younger than her, and the little kid Xiaonan.

Although they had only been together for a few months, she could clearly feel that these girls had no bad intentions and treated her sincerely, which made her feel warm and comfortable.

But she also knew that this kind of life was not for her and that it would not last long.

She is the eldest daughter of the Xu family, and sooner or later she will have to go back and face the intrigues at home.
