Mrs. Song didn't know how many tears she shed that day and night. Ji Yunyuan was her and Ji Xiuwen's eldest son, and she had high hopes for him since he was a child. The teachers at the college all said that her son would have no problem passing the imperial examination this autumn.
But her son, who was studying in Fucheng, suddenly returned home and fainted at the door. She didn't know what happened to Ji Yunyuan. She just thought that nothing would happen to her son. He was her hope, and she was still waiting for him to earn money for him. The decree is back.
When Ji Yunyuan woke up, he saw Mr. Song sitting by the bed crying.
"Mom, what's wrong with me?"
Mrs. Song suddenly raised her head when she heard her son's voice. She heard something and her son woke up.
She saw that the person on the bed was pale, but her eyes were full of energy. Her son was fine.
"Yuan'er, what happened to you? Why did you faint at the door when you came home? Do you know that your mother almost lost half her life when she saw you like that? No matter what happens to you kid, come home and be with your father. Mom said, no matter what, you have to take care of yourself. Mom is still waiting for you to be nominated on the gold list and earn a life for me. Then you can let me be the hermit of the old prince."
Song's nagging gave Ji Yunyuan a headache. He remembered what happened a few days ago. Two days ago, he came back from the academy and met Ji Qingyao unexpectedly in the town. She said that his mother had sold her and he wanted to Yaoyao came back with him, but was rejected. Qingyao also said that she had broken off the relationship with their family, and he saw his father's name on the divorce document.
He originally wanted to go back to Dahe Village the next day, but after learning about Ji Qingyao, he walked back to Dahe Village alone. Along the way, his mind was filled with what Ji Qingyao said to him.
He knew that Ji Qingyao was not liked by his mother in the Ji family, but he never thought that his mother would treat Ji Qingyao like this and eventually sold her.
He knew that what his mother did was wrong, but as a son of a man, he could not comment on his mother's fault.
"Mom, I'm very tired. If you have anything to say, wait until I have a good rest." Ji Yunyuan stretched out his slender fingers and pressed his forehead. When Mrs. Song saw her son like this, she had to get up and exit the room.
Mrs. Song wanted to ask Ji Yunyuan what happened, but when she saw his bloodless face, she swallowed the words that came to her mouth. It only happened in a day or two.
Mrs. Song always had the image of a loving mother in front of Ji Yunyuan, and she was very well-controlled. It was precisely because of this that Ji Yunyuan still couldn't connect what Ji Qingyao said to his mother. But what was the truth? Ji Yunyuan I already believed it after waking up.
Qingyao was sold by his mother, so does his father know? Although he has never seen any concern for Qingyao from his father, he was a child who was raised since childhood.
If Ji Qingyao knew what Ji Yunyuan was thinking, he would only yell at him. This girl has been working to support herself since she was three years old. Apart from providing a place to live, your Ji family has never raised the original owner. The money received from the prey has repaid the weak upbringing.
Ji Yunyuan thought about regaining his strength, and when his father came back, he asked if his father had acquiesced in Ji Qingyao's betrayal, or if it was just a move behind his mother's back.
On the other side, the head of Xiaoxi Village worked very quickly. He went to the county government office and went directly to Director Li, who was in charge of land sales, and explained his purpose. When Director Li heard that someone wanted to buy wasteland, he acted quickly and followed Pei Ningyuan's request. Red deed.
Grain production has decreased in the past two years, and the government has a large amount of land that cannot be sold. Don't say that the county magistrate is anxious, but his subordinates are also anxious. Land sales are also part of the performance evaluation. When you enter the officialdom, you say you don't want to climb up the ladder. That's what only turtle bastards do.
Although the hillside is small and wasteland, grasshoppers are also meat.
Pei Ningyuan looked at Chief Li's confused look when he was handling paperwork for him, and couldn't help but murmured in his heart, maybe there was something wrong with the land. If it didn't work, he would talk to Ji Qingyao about it after he went back.
When the time comes, he will push back the hillside even though he has this old face.
The entire hillside covers an area of twenty-three acres. Master Li made all the necessary arrangements and collected only fifty-six taels.
After all the procedures were completed, Pei Ningyuan gave Master Li five taels of silver for his hard work.
Pei Ningyuan thought there was something wrong with the hillside and returned to Xiaoxi Village full of questions. Chief Li sang a ditty in the Yamen because he sold a hillside. The main reason was because he got an extra five taels of silver and lent him money for drinks for a few days. When there is a gap, who has a fierce wife at home, he usually has to hide around even if he wants to have a drink.
It was already afternoon when Pei Ningyuan returned to Xiaoxi Village, but he didn't know that the people in Xiaoxi Village became lively again because of Ji Qingyao.
Ji Qingyao refreshed the understanding of everyone in Xiaoxi Village. On the second day she came to Xiaoxi Village, she shot a tiger and carried her down the mountain. On the third day, she shot a wild boar and carried her back to the village.
