My sister became the empress, but I'm still growing vegetables and raising chickens

Every day at the middle of the Yin hour, Song Erqiang, Aunt Zhu San, and Dachun would come to the Si family's house, load the porridge they had prepared for Aunt Luo onto the oxcart, and head out, arriving at Aunt Luo's bun shop around 2:30 AM. The morning market opened at the middle of the Mao hour, and business was generally best after the middle of the Mao hour.

Today, we set out at the same time. At the end of the Yin hour, when the ox cart reached Guihua Village, two people rushed out from the roadside. One of them hit the ox with a thick stick, and the ox was frightened and overturned the ox cart. The other one dragged Aunt Zhu into the nearby jungle.

Although Song Erqiang was a fool, his brother and sister-in-law had talked him through it often. He knew before that he had to protect the three siblings of the Si family, and now he also knew that he had to take care of Aunt Zhu and Xiaochun. Seeing the bad guys dragging Aunt Zhu, he rushed over to fight. Although he was no match for the two people on the opposite side, he still protected Aunt Zhu tightly.

Dachun was only seven years old, but he was smart. He knew he was useless, so he turned around and ran to Guihua Village. He met some villagers who had gotten up early, and he quickly shouted for help and called people over.

In this way, Song Erqiang and Aunt Zhu were rescued.

Si Muyan asked, "Was Second Uncle beaten? Is he injured? Where is Third Sister Zhu?"

"She only suffered minor skin injuries, no broken bones. We've asked Doctor Zhang to take a look. Don't worry," the village head continued. "He's just worried about the porridge. He said he didn't send it over, so he's worried. Zhu Laosan's wife is fine, but she's a little frightened and doesn't dare go out."

Si Muyan said, "When something like this happens, why would I care about porridge? Uncle Lizheng, take us to see Second Uncle."

The younger sister hurriedly said, "Sister, we still have to arrange things for the shop, otherwise Brother Zhu and his wife will be too busy, and Aunt Luo will also be worried. Let me go with Dad to see Uncle Song."

"I'll go." Si Muyan was worried and said to her younger sister, "Let Dad go to the village and ask if other families have empty ox carts. I can take you and Dad to the county town and give some porridge to Aunt Luo at our Si family's food store. You can take care of the arrangements over there. Second sister, come with me to see Second Uncle Song. Aunt Jin, you go to Third Brother Zhu's house first, and we'll be there later."

After arranging things and everyone doing their job, Si Muyan checked on Song Erqiang and made sure that he was okay before she felt relieved.

Doctor Zhang was applying medicine to his wound, and he was grimacing in pain, tears in his eyes.

But the wife of the village head said beside him: "Erqiang, your child is no longer a child, he is an adult, and a man does not believe in crying out in pain."

Song Erqiang pouted and said, "Sister-in-law, it hurts."

When the village head saw Si Muyan and her sister come in, she said, "Erqiang, Miss Yan and the others all call you uncle, and you're still making fun of them?"

Song Erqiang stopped crying immediately, gritted his teeth and held his neck tight: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all."

Seeing this, Si Muyan smiled and praised, "Second Uncle is really great, Auntie Lizheng, I've said before that Second Uncle can drive the cart and help deliver porridge, he's the best. Today I heard that if Second Uncle hadn't been here, my Third Sister Zhu would have been in danger. It shows that Second Uncle is really a man of integrity!"

"Yes, my brother also praised me just now, hehe." Song Erqiang smiled foolishly, "My brother said that Zhu Laosan's wife is a young wife. She gets up so early, and there are many people with bad intentions. He told me that I must not let any man touch her!"

Si Muyan said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Second Uncle."

Song Erqiang received the compliment, then scratched his head sheepishly and said, "But it's Xiaochun who's smart. I can't beat those two."

"You are all great." Si Muyan asked the doctor to apply medicine to Song Erqiang, and then took the village head's wife outside and said, "Don't worry, aunt, your second uncle's injury is a work-related injury. I will pay for all the medical expenses and nutrition expenses. Have a good rest these few days, and I will still pay your wages."

"What? What are medical expenses and nutritional expenses?" The headman's wife had never heard of them before.

Si Muyan said: "He works for me. If the bad guys are caught, they will have to pay compensation. Before they are caught, these are mine."

After seeing Song Erqiang, I went to see Aunt Zhu.

It just so happened that the village head was here too, and he wanted to ask what had happened to Aunt Zhu.

Aunt Zhu San was also injured, but they were only minor scrapes, not serious. But she was trembling all over, huddled behind Zhu Lao San, and her words were barely audible.

Si Muyan took a look and said, "Let Third Sister-in-law have a good rest first. She has been wronged today. If you have any questions, ask Xiaochun. It's the same."

Si Muyan frowned and said after calling Xiaochun over, "Uncle Lizheng, we have to go to the head of the village. After all, this didn't happen in our village, so the head of the village has to investigate."

The village head nodded. "I thought so too, but my brother has a mental problem and can't speak clearly. That's why I came here to ask Zhu Laosan's wife, but she was the same."

"Uncle Village Head, I can go. I know everything!" Dachun stood up, straightened his chest, and his eyes were determined.

The village head said, "But Xiaochun is too young."

Si Muyan said: "It's okay, take Xiaochun there first. This matter can't be delayed any longer, otherwise the bad guys will escape."

When we went to the head of the pavilion, it was obvious that the head of Guihua Village was also concerned about this matter and had reported the case to the head of the pavilion, asking him to help investigate. After all, many people get up early to go to the county town to work, and Guihua Village is close to the county town. Many villages have to pass through Guihua Village on their way to the county town.

If such things were to get out, people would definitely say that Guihua Village was not good enough, and that there were people who robbed people on the road and bullied women.

The village head of Guihua Village was surnamed Zhou. Seeing the people from Songji Village coming, he was also very polite: "Song Lizheng, you are finally here. The headman just said that he would go to Songji Village to ask about the situation of the people in your village who had accidents."

The general situation was understood. The people helping out in Guihua Village said, "We only saw two shadows. It was still dark at the time, so we couldn't see who they were..."

Dachun said: "He bit one of the men's hands very hard. There must be deep teeth marks on the back of that man's hand."

"Really?" The pavilion chief's eyes lit up. "This place is closest to Guihua Village, so let's start our investigation from there."

The headman took his men to Guihua Village to investigate the case, while Si Muyan returned to Songji Village. As soon as he arrived at the village entrance, he saw several people gathered there, talking.

"Have you heard about the Si family? In my opinion, someone must be jealous of the Si family's wealth."

"You're jealous of the Si family? Then deal with the Si family. Why are you bullying the idiot from the village head's family?"

"Yes, the fool was driving the car. The people sitting in the car were two people from the Zhu family. The Si family didn't suffer much."

"There are a few more ox carts in our village this year. In my opinion, they are probably envious of the fools who can make money driving carts. They are jealous."

This statement was unanimously agreed by everyone. They felt that if the fool and Zhu Laosan's wife did not go, the other families could take over and the couple could work together to earn money for the Si family.
