Chapter 234 Poor child!

After being taken out of Xiliang Pass by Ruan Shiping, Ruan Wantie was escorted to Qingshui County, Lulin Prefecture by his subordinates Dazhuang, Huzi, and Mengzi. When the people of Zaoziling saw Ruan Wantie coming back, they all came forward to ask about his situation.

When they learned that he was rescued by Ruan Qingqing and Ruan Shiping, everyone couldn't help but sigh. It was him who had a pair of outstanding children. If it was someone else, he would probably rot in the end and no one would care.

After chatting for a while, they couldn't help but ask when Ruan Qingqing would be back. They were about to plant late rice, but they hadn't bought the hybrid seeds for late rice yet. Having tasted the sweetness of high yield, they were reluctant to switch back to the old seeds.

"It should be soon." This is how Ruan Wantie replied to everyone.

Ruan Shiping also told him so at that time, asking him to go home first. With the help of Yun Qing's imperial guards, the people of the Western Liang Pass were not enough for them to kill. Isn't it a sure thing to rescue Ruan Qingqing?

Ruan Shiping said it with great confidence, but Ruan Wantie was very nervous at this time. After staying at home for three days, he couldn't help but ran to the county government to ask Shi Anzhi if there was any news about his daughter.

Shi Anzhi's eyes flickered slightly. "Xiliang Pass is a long way from Qingshui County. I'm afraid it will take some time to get there. In addition, Miss Ruan has a lot of skills. Maybe she will be retained by the local magistrate to help out in some county. After all, just a little something slipping out of her fingers can increase crop yields. Lord Ruan knows that increasing crop yields is a real achievement for us county magistrates."

"Then please help keep an eye on it, Magistrate Shi. If you have any news, please send someone to leave a message for me at Ruan's Restaurant." Ruan Wantie pleaded.

"Easy to say!"

After a few pleasantries, Ruan Wantie left in a daze.

"His father, does County Magistrate Shi have any news about Daya?" Wang couldn't wait to ask as soon as she saw Ruan Wantie.

Ruan Wantie shook his head.

"What does Lord Shi say?"

"They said they might have been delayed on the road." Ruan Wantie said dejectedly.

"His father, Lord Shi has not left Qingshui County, so the information he knows may be limited. Why don't we write a letter to Daya's fifth uncle and eldest brother, maybe we can get some information." Wang suggested.

Ruan Wantie didn't have any good ideas for the time being. "I'll try first. But speaking of news, County Magistrate Shi is the grandson of the Minister of Personnel. If there is any news in the court, he should be able to know it first."

Speaking of this, Wang was full of dissatisfaction.

"So what if he is the prince? When you disappeared, I don't believe he didn't hear anything. But he never revealed even a little bit of information to us. In the end, it was the news from Lord Fu that we knew you were in trouble. Let me tell you! This person is different. Lord Fu is more honest than Lord Shi, even though they both benefited from our Daya."

After hearing this, Wang suddenly had an idea. "His father, why don't you go and ask Master Fu directly, or ask him to help find out something. With the previous friendship, he won't refuse this idea."

Ruan Wantie was so anxious that he didn't think of this. But after Wang's reminder, he couldn't sit still and ordered his men to prepare horses and go to the government office of Lulin Prefecture to find out the truth.

In the evening, Mr. Ruan and Mrs. Ruan also came to Ruan Qingqing's house to ask if there was any news about Ruan Qingqing in the county government.

"Master Shi is not honest, so how can we get any news? Look, her father just came back from the county government office, and he's already rushing to the capital to inquire about the news before he even has a chance to sit down."

Wang couldn't help but complain.

Mr. Ruan was worried, but after glancing at his fourth daughter-in-law, who he had not seen much of, he ended up saying nothing.

Before Mr. Ruan and his wife left, Wang couldn't help but speak out. "Dad, Uncle Wu and Xing Ge'er are both officials in Beijing. I heard that they have many sources of information and are quick to contact them. Could you please send a letter to ask them? I don't mean anything else, I just want to be at ease. Her father was in a hurry to go to the capital and didn't think about this."

"Okay, tomorrow I'll go to the county town and ask the boss to write a letter and send it out."

Mr. Ruan nodded.

On the way, Old Lady Ruan didn't understand, "Since Master Fu can pass on the message, why do we still need Old Five and Xing'er? It takes us half a year to go to the capital and back. What use will we have for the message by then?"

"You don't understand! If it's really bad news, Master Fu may not disclose it. But Lao Wu and Xing Ge'er are different. Family members are more willing to disclose more. And Qingqing left Qingshui County regardless of the emperor's will. I'm afraid she has angered the emperor. I'm worried that she is in danger now."

In the evening breeze, Mr. Ruan's sigh was particularly deep.

"I guess the fourth brother must have the same worries, otherwise he wouldn't be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He just went to the county government office in the morning, and rushed to the prefectural capital in the afternoon."

Old Mrs. Ruan also said.

"Well, it's a pity for Qingqing. She did everything perfectly. It can be said that the prosperity of Zaoziling and even Qingshui County is due to her. The bad thing is that she values ​​friendship too much. After all, she is young and doesn't know how to balance. If she could have been cruel enough to ignore the fourth child, she would still be the reincarnation of the God of Grains praised by everyone."

Old Lady Ruan disagreed, "What are you talking about? If Qingqing really doesn't care about her own father, how can she be a child? Even if she has great abilities, she will be drowned in everyone's spit in the future just because of this! Besides, if she is really such a person, do you still dare to recognize her as a member of the Old Ruan family?"

Mr. Ruan was speechless after being asked this question.

"So these are all traps for her no matter how she tries," concluded Mrs. Ruan.

"Poor child!" Old Lady Ruan looked into the distance, her eyes starting to blur. "When the fourth family had nothing to eat or drink, she went barefoot on the mountain to find food, with scars all over her body. When she came to the old house to borrow clothes, the third family disliked her because of the blood scars and pus-oozing wounds on her body, saying that if she wore the clothes, how could others wear them.

But I burst into tears when I heard that. How could a child of only ten years old not feel pain? How could she not feel uncomfortable? But Qingqing acted as if nothing had happened. Her father was a gambler, her mother was unreliable, and she was the oldest among her brothers and sisters. Who would sympathize with her if she cried out in pain? Who would understand her if she cried out in discomfort? That child was so pitiful!"

"Who said it wasn't? They were making bamboo hairpins, so I wanted to help them. It only took a few days of work. I didn't expect that she could really make money. What's rare is that her family is so poor, but she can still share the money she made with everyone. At that time, I knew that the fourth brother's family would not fail with Qingqing!"

Mr. Ruan also nodded continuously.

"Yes! Who would have thought that she could find a way to keep us alive during the three years of rare drought? Plague, snowstorms, banditry, all of which would have wiped out the whole clan under normal circumstances, but she always found a way to keep us out of trouble. Now, under her guidance, the yield of our crops has doubled."

"Otherwise, people will say for no reason that she is the reincarnation of the God of Grains?" Old Mrs. Ruan asked back unhappily.

After being stunned for a while, she couldn't help choking up, "It's a pity that everyone's life is getting better now, but that girl..."
