Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

Yu Xian'an assigned a steady and clever guard to always protect Mai Miao's personal safety. Although the guard's martial arts skills were not the best, they were more than enough to protect Mai Miao.

The guards came early in the morning to help Li Changming load the goods. Mai Miao was deeply touched when she saw that Zhen Dan had sent people to protect her.

"Thank you very much, little brother. We can do these jobs ourselves. Why should we trouble you to do them?" Li Changming felt a little embarrassed. This person was specially sent by the owner to protect the wheat seedlings. How could he be asked to do the work?

The guard laughed and said, "Why are you being so polite? Ever since we came here with our masters, our lives in this village have become much more relaxed. Your masters always think of us when they have something new and delicious. I feel embarrassed that you are still being polite to me for such a small matter."

"Let's put this one thing aside. How can you say that?" Li Changming said.

"Oh, I'll get annoyed if you keep being so polite. My name is Mingfeng, you can just call me by my name. These are just trivial daily matters for us." Mingfeng kept working, but he didn't actually consider himself an outsider.

Seeing him like this, Li Changming said no more and quickened his work. After a while, all the things were packed and he waited for Mai Miao to come out before setting off for the town together.

Mai Miao sat on one side of the ox cart, Ming Feng sat on the other side, and the three of them chatted happily while Li Changming was driving the cart.

After arriving at Shizhen Pavilion and handing over the day's goods, they checked the order quantity with the shopkeeper. The three of them went around the town and bought some of the things needed for the workshop. They also placed an order with the agreed-upon business and agreed on a delivery time. Then they found a food stall to rest and had lunch.

"Miss Miao, there is someone following us. Do you want me to get rid of him?" Mingfeng was cautious. The man had been following them since they came out of Shizhen Pavilion.

Mai Miao glanced back casually, and her eyes happened to meet the man Wang was with. The man saw that he was discovered, so he simply stopped hiding and walked straight towards them.

As he approached, the man looked at her with disdain: "Humph, you unfilial and unbrotherly girl, have you forgotten your mother now that you're well? She lived a hard life, and as a daughter, you were so cruel as to ignore her."

The man raised his voice. Although it was past noon, there were still many people around the food stall. His words attracted everyone's attention. Those who didn't understand the inside story looked at Mai Miao with confusion and contempt.

After all, Mai Miao was only a thirteen-year-old girl. She was so angry and anxious that her eyes turned red after being twisted into pieces.

He choked up and said, "What does her hard life have to do with me? When she left me, did she ever consider that I was only seven years old, my father had died, and I only had my half-decade grandmother to rely on. When we had no food to eat and were despised by others, did she ever think of me or pay any attention to me?"

When she talked about this, Mai Miao felt a little overwhelmed. Why did her mother look like this?

"This mother is so cruel. Her husband died and the child was only seven years old. She left behind only a half-century-old old woman and the child. She even has the nerve to blame the child for ignoring her." Passerby A said.

Passerby B disagreed, saying, "Perhaps the woman has her own reasons. Her husband is dead and she has to support her children and her mother all by herself. It's not easy!"

Passerby C said, "There are no unrighteous parents in the world. Since the woman is now repentant and seeking repentance, how can her children bear a grudge?"

Li Changming couldn't stand it any longer and said to the crowd, "What do you know? This Wang man died only half a year ago and she ran away and remarried, and she even had a child with this man. Now that she sees that the girl is successful and can make money, she comes back to acknowledge her relatives. Back then, she took away all the family's belongings and ran away, intending to make life difficult for the grandfather and grandson. How dare she come here now?"

Li Changming looked at the man with an angry face when he said the last sentence.

"Oh, so that's how it is? No wonder the child doesn't recognize her. If I were in her shoes, I wouldn't recognize her either." Passersby echoed.

"I've seen this kid at Shizhen Pavilion. I heard he's a manager at Fushengji. I'm afraid the woman saw that the kid has great potential, so she came here."

"But I think it's hard to have enough to eat these days. It must have been hard for that woman to feed three mouths after her husband passed away. I think she must have left because she was afraid she couldn't survive."

People always like to imagine things for others and interpret the causes of things according to their own wishes.

Seeing this, the man's expression suddenly changed. "Maimiao, you've really misunderstood your mother. She left because she couldn't make ends meet. She was an illiterate woman with no skills, so she had to do laundry and sewing to make a living. When I met her, she was living a miserable life, barely able to make ends meet, and she had developed quite a few health problems as a result."

The man's face was filled with resentment and heartache, and he continued, "After that, she married me and gave birth to your brother, and her health has deteriorated significantly. She was diagnosed with a serious illness a while ago, and the doctor said she might not live for many years, so she came to you. It's not because she sees you're doing well now that she came to you, but because she feels she owes you so much, and she wants to make it up to you while she's still alive."

After saying this, the man lowered his head and wiped away his non-existent tears with his sleeves, then secretly glanced at the faces of several people through the cover of his sleeves.

When the people around heard this, they all turned around and tried to persuade Mai Miao.

"Girl, your mother won't live for many years. Just forgive her. After all, she is your mother."

"Yes, she knows she's wrong, so she came to you. Give her a chance."

The onlookers were trying to persuade him one after another, and Mai Miao felt indescribable.

She didn't know if what the man said was true or if he was deliberately deceiving her. But if it was true, her mother's health was failing and she didn't have many years left to live, and she would feel uneasy if she hardened her heart and ignored her conscience.

"Take me to see her." Mai Miao couldn't bear to give up this blood relationship.

The man smiled and said, "Okay, okay, if Juanniang knew you were willing to visit her, she would be so happy."

After the man finished speaking, he led the three of them home. Li Changming wanted to say something, but since it was about Mai Miao's mother, he couldn't say much, so he just followed behind with Mingfeng.

Several people came to a courtyard on the west street of the town. Three families lived in this courtyard. Wang's family of three lived in the west room.

Li Changming watched from outside as the oxcart couldn't get in. Mingfeng naturally accompanied Mai Miao into the courtyard. The man didn't want Mingfeng to come in, but Mingfeng's martial arts skills meant he couldn't stop him. Mai Miao observed the man's actions but went into the house without asking.

"Juanniang, come out quickly and see who I brought back to you?" The man stood at the door and shouted loudly towards the west room.

Wang was coaxing her son to sleep when she heard the man's voice and quickly got out of bed, slipped on her shoes and went out.
