Falling into the mortal world

Chapter 33 Working to Pay Off Debts

The men below couldn't produce any money, but thankfully their family members weren't seriously injured, so they said, "Our family members who worked here are all injured. Since they can't pay, they'll work for us to pay off their debt!"

Upon hearing this, the group immediately nodded in agreement, as long as they wouldn't go to jail.

The magistrate closed the case directly, but the magistrate of Yiyang County was not the good official that everyone thought he was.

After all, any woman the magistrate took a fancy to would be taken into his harem.

As long as the money is right, everything is negotiable. Magistrates generally have little interest in cases like this that don't offer any financial reward.

What interested the magistrate was Lan Qingqing herself. Lan Qingqing seized the opportunity when the magistrate looked over.

She bowed to the magistrate and said, "Thank you for your keen insight, Your Excellency. I am deeply grateful." As she spoke, her veil inadvertently fell down.

Just then, the magistrate saw Lan Qingqing's face. When he saw that Lan Qingqing was both stunningly beautiful and covered in red sores, he was terrified and almost thought he had encountered a ghost.

Seeing that she had achieved the desired effect, Lan Qingqing hurriedly put her veil back on.

The magistrate ignored Lan Qingqing, clutching his trembling heart, and quickly adjourned the court.

The magistrate secretly rejoiced that he hadn't taken the woman into his backyard. Otherwise, he would have nightmares every night.

Some people accidentally caught a glimpse of Lan Qingqing's face. Rumors then spread throughout the town that Lan Qingqing had been disfigured and was incredibly ugly. Ming Wang's men were among them. Upon seeing Lan Qingqing's face, they were also shocked. They immediately returned to report to Ming Wang.

After leaving the county government office, the group followed Lan Qingqing back to the shop.

Lan Qingqing glanced at the mess on the ground and said to the group, "Clean this up today. Start work here tomorrow. You can stop working whenever you've paid back your money. I pay you 30 coins a day."

You will also be paid thirty coins a day. The group nodded in agreement.

Lan Qingqing looked at the damaged items in the store, wrote down a list, and made a list of the items that needed to be repurchased.

"You can buy the damaged items later. Here's a shopping list," Lan Qingqing handed over a list, then took out five taels of silver and handed it over as well.

Use the money left over from buying the items to see a doctor at the clinic.

The group was surprised that Lan Qingqing would spend money to treat their injuries, and they were both touched and ashamed.

After saying that, Lan Qingqing prepared to go home.

After Lan Qingqing left, the group began to blame each other.

"You idiot, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have had to work to pay off our debts!" ​​the Tao family angrily accused.

You're one to talk! If you hadn't come up here waving a knife around, would people have thought we were going to kill them?

"If it weren't for you, how could I have accidentally hurt that girl and almost killed her!" Ah Er retorted, dissatisfied.

"What's the point of arguing now! We can't continue working at the casino. Quickly clean this place up, then go to the clinic to see a doctor," He Dabao reminded everyone.

At this moment, Luo Laifu looked up and saw that everyone had bruises and swelling on their faces. He said, "This girl looks delicate and gentle, but I didn't expect her to be so ruthless."

Gu Heizi said, "Good to know. Hurry up and get to work." With that, he limped off to work.

Lan Qingqing returned to Pear Blossom Village at around 3 p.m.

When Lan Qingqing returned home, she saw her mother sitting there, weeping softly with her face covered.

When Lan Qingqing came over, Lan's mother quickly wiped away her tears.

Lan Qingqing stepped forward and asked: Mother, what happened?

Mother Lan composed herself and said, "Cai Die still hasn't woken up, I'm worried..."

As she spoke, Lan's mother began to sob again.

Lan Qingqing comforted her mother, saying, "Mother, with me here, I won't let anything happen to Caidie."

Lan's mother wiped away her tears and said, "It will be alright. Such a good child will definitely be alright."

Feng Caidie is unconscious mainly due to excessive blood loss; with rest, she will gradually recover. Lan Xiaotian's arm is suspended from his neck and he cannot move.

Lan's mother told him to rest, but he couldn't stay idle, so he went to check on the progress of the house. Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Lan's mother let him be.

Lan Qingqing glanced at Cai Die, and seeing that she was still asleep, she didn't disturb her. Lan Xiaoya had also been quite frightened during the day, so she lay down to rest in bed.

Lan Qingqing noticed that her mother was distracted while making tofu, so she told her to go and rest, and she would do it herself.

Mother, I can do it, you don't need to rest. You're feeling heavy now, so let your mother and Aunt Li do these things.

Aunt Li said, "Yezi, go and rest. You look terrible right now. Lin Ye is Lan's mother's given name."

No one in the village knew that Lan Qingqing was pregnant. The Lan family hadn't told anyone. So, Aunt Li didn't know either.

After being persuaded by the two men, Lan's mother sat down to rest. The food at home had been good lately.

Blue Mother has also gained some weight, unlike before when she looked like a skeleton.

Her complexion had improved, but her full head of white hair seemed inappropriate. During this time, Lan Qingqing often bought some sesame seeds for her mother to eat.

Black hair was beginning to appear faintly beneath the white hair, which made Lan Qingqing think that eating more sesame seeds had some effect.

Today, Lan's mother was so frightened that her face remained very pale. After resting for a while, she would go into the house to check on Feng Caidie, always wanting to make sure she was still alive. She checked on her frequently throughout the afternoon, fearing something might have happened to Feng Caidie, especially since the doctor had said it was very dangerous.

Mr. Lan was relieved to know that things had been handled properly at the government office.

Lan Xiaotian looked at the newly built house on the flat land, which belonged to his family, and he couldn't have been happier.

The next morning, Lan's father loaded the tofu onto the oxcart. Lan Qingqing said, "Dad, I'll go with you today. I'll make arrangements for those people selling tofu."

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Lan said, "Alright, let's go then!"

Lan Qingqing got on the donkey cart and instructed her mother: "Mother, if Cai Die wakes up later, please cook some rice porridge for her. It's not suitable for her to eat greasy food right now."

Okay, I understand. Be careful on the road. If those people don't listen to us, we'll fire them.

I understand, Mother. Seeing that everything was ready, Father Lan set off on his donkey.

When they arrived at the shop, the group was already waiting. Seeing Lan Qingqing's donkey cart stop, they quickly went to help. The tofu shop was now running smoothly. Selling only tofu was getting a bit monotonous, so Lan Qingqing planned to make some dried tofu to sell as well.

These people were just the right fit. After witnessing Lan Qingqing's martial prowess, none of them dared to offend her. They all did whatever Lan Qingqing said.

After Lan's father unloaded all the goods from the shop, he began delivering them. Lan Qingqing stopped him. "Take Ah Er with you and let him get familiar with the business. He'll be the one delivering from now on."

Ah Er hurriedly got on the donkey cart and left with Lan's father.

"What's your name?" Lan Qingqing asked one of them.

"My name is He Dabao," He Dabao replied.

Lan Qingqing nodded to indicate that she understood.

"What's your name?" Lan Qingqing asked the other person.

"My name is Gu Heizi," Gu Heizi replied.

"And you?" Lan Qingqing pointed to the person carrying tofu on the side.

My name is Luo Laifu.

"My name is Tao Jia." Before Lan Qingqing could ask, Tao Jia answered first.
