After Wen Zhaoming picked up his sister's bond of sale, he put the dagger back, put Yueyue on the horse, and prepared to return.
Hehua said a few more words to Zhou Yapo to avoid future troubles:
"Zhou Yapo, my family is the Su family in Qingshan County, and the young lady is a child, not you and your behind If you can offend Yaxing, you should take care of it.”
“Yes, I have taken note of it.”
Zhou Yapo could only knock off his front teeth and swallow blood. Not only did he not make any money this time. Yinzi also offended a young boy. If he had known better, he would not have done business with that third brother Wen, but now it is too late to regret it.
After the matter was settled, the group of five people hurried back. The Su family was naturally not afraid of teething, but Wen Zhaoming was worried about injuring the people in the village, so when the lotus was exported, he acquiesced that his sister was the one favored by Miss Su's family. people can be regarded as indirectly seeking asylum.
Because Yueyue was frightened, she developed a fever that afternoon. Fortunately, the medicine Ripple gave them last time was still there. He immediately fed his sister one pill and then drank it with boiled water. After grabbing some pancakes, he quickly hurried back, and this was the scene before.
Wen Zhaoyue already knew what happened from her eldest brother on the way. She knew that it was his eldest brother who shamelessly asked Miss Su to borrow a horse and sent a guard to follow her. Otherwise, she and her eldest brother would really be separated.
So after listening to the elder brother's instructions, he obediently let go of his brother, bowed to Ripple in a polite manner, kowtowed three times, and was then helped up by Ripple.
Lianyi never likes people to kowtow, but she still accepted the gift. After all, people's gratitude comes from the heart.
"I think Yueyue's body is not fully recovered yet. She needs to take good care of her when she takes her back. I have received your thanks."
Lianyi said calmly.
Wen Jiahong took the women in the village to thank Ripple again, and then prepared to leave.
Lianyi ordered:
"When you arrive at Sujiazhuang, the people from Yaxing do not dare to embarrass you. You eat something first before returning to the village. The children are still young, so at least let them go. She drank some porridge.”
"Thank you, Miss Su. Miss Su is kind."
Wen Jiahong immediately thanked her.
Then they, a group of five people plus one Yueyue, had a pretty solid lunch, consisting of whole-grain pancakes with millet porridge, plus a pickle fried in lard and a plate of scrambled eggs. It was a very ordinary farm meal. , but the tube is full, everyone is obviously much better after eating and drinking, and Yueyue's complexion is also better.
"Brother Ming, we have already troubled Miss Su so much. Now that Yueyue's condition is better, we'd better go back as soon as possible! The village chief must still be worried about us!"
"Okay."
Wen Zhaoming naturally did not refuse.
The group of people did not disturb Ripple, but directly spoke to Hehua before leaving.
Lianyi took a nap after lunch. When she woke up, she was not surprised to hear Lotus's reply. It was estimated that they had returned to Wenjia Village by now.
The group walked back for the remaining ten miles, taking turns carrying Yueyue on their backs, and returned to Wenjiacun before dark.
The villagers who saw them along the way came forward to ask with concern. When they saw Yueyue being found, they asked a few more questions and got a general idea of what happened. Many people praised them. clever.
Wen Zhaoming originally wanted to send his sister home and then go to the village chief. However, the little girl was very insecure and refused to be separated from her brother. In the end, he could only hold his sister and go to the village chief. There were some things that his sister needed to tell him. The village chief knows.
"Brother Ming, is Yueyue okay?"
"Much better. I was frightened and infected with the cold. Fortunately, Miss Su was kind-hearted and sympathized with my situation and gave me medicine. She's much better now, but she just refused to be separated from me, so I brought her with me."
Wen Zhaoming patted Yueyue on the back and put her down.
“Hello, Auntie Village Chief!”
Although Yueyue was a little tired, she still greeted the village chief politely.
"Good boy, I have made you suffer." The village chief touched Yueyue's head lovingly. Because he was a familiar person, Yueyue was not afraid.
"Yueyue, tell me about meeting Uncle Wen."
Wen Zhaoming said softly.
Mentioning Uncle Wen, Yueyue visibly trembled, and then whispered:
"I was playing with ants in the yard of the fifth uncle's house, and my uncle came and said he had something to ask me. I'll go over there.
I remembered my elder brother's instructions, so I didn't leave the yard. Instead, I talked to him through the fence. Who knew he said he couldn't hear me, so he went directly into Wu Bo's yard. I was about to get ready. Called Uncle Wu, he took a handkerchief and covered my mouth. Before I could shout, I didn’t know anything else.
When I woke up, he was in a car. On the bullock cart, there was a very fierce woman who said that I had been sold by my family and told me to be obedient, otherwise she would not give me food and would beat me. "
Yue said this. Yue's eyes turned red. After all, he was still a child. After being frightened, he could only cry softly.
The faces of the village chief and Wen Zhaoming were so gloomy that they could shed tears.
“It rained later, and a young man who was with me seemed to have caught the cold and his body was very hot. I discovered it, so I told the fierce woman, she was afraid of the beautiful woman. The little brother burned his brain, so he found a place to take shelter from the rain and gave the child medicine.
After the rain stopped, we continued to set off, and then the eldest brother and Aunt Hong came after us. "
Wen Zhaoyue is already seven years old and can remember things. He speaks clearly and explains things clearly.
After listening, the village chief said:
"Brother Ming, you take Yueyue back to rest first. The village will open an ancestral hall tomorrow to see how to deal with the third brother Wen."
"Okay, I'm going to cause trouble to the village chief. The prey I entered the mountain this time is No, give it to the sisters who came with me to find Yueyue."
Wen Zhaoming said after picking up his sister.
"The meat is yours. It's distributed to you. It's up to you to arrange it as you please, but you still have to be sincere in delivering it in person."
The village chief was also shrewd, so he made a point.
"Okay, I'll note it down."
Then Wen Zhaoming took his sister back home.
My neighbor Wen Wubo had been lingering at the door of his yard. When he saw Wen Zhaoming coming back with Yueyue in his arms, his face looked better.
Wen Zhaoming was the first to say:
“Fifth uncle, Yueyue is back, you don’t have to worry, go back and rest quickly!”
"Hey! It would be great to find her back! What if"
Uncle Wen looked happy. If he couldn't find it back, he would probably blame himself for the rest of his life.
"Fifth Uncle, this is not your fault. It was Yueyue's biological uncle. He was unpredictable. Even if you weren't watching, Yueyue would still have lost it. Don't blame yourself."
"Brother Ming is a sensible person, just don't blame me."
After hearing Wen Zhaoming's words, Uncle Wen breathed a sigh of relief, but he was afraid that Ming'er would resent him.
"Fifth uncle, the village chief said that the ancestral hall will be opened tomorrow to deal with the third brother Wen."
Wen Zhaoming mentioned it again.
"Yes, open an ancestral hall to deal with this vicious man, even my own niece!"
