After the system ran, I took off with my family

Qingshan stepped forward and took the struggling bamboo rat from Lin Shuyue’s hand, then walked back with a full basket of bamboo shoots on his back.

Li pulled Lin Shuyue to follow behind, and did not forget to complain to her daughter: "Your eldest brother is so old and still so childish. He is already fifteen years old. In two years, he should get married and have children."

Lin Shuyue's expression was indescribable when she heard her mother's words. Seventeen years old was still a high school student in her previous life. It seemed that she had to find time to have a good talk with her family about this topic.

After arriving home, Li washed her hands, took the towel handed to her by Luo's mother and dried her hands, then asked casually, "Where did the master go?"

"Madam, the village chief is here, and the master is receiving him in the flower hall in the front yard." Mother Luo reached out and helped her tidy up her messy hair.

"We just got back and the village chief is in such a hurry to come to our house. Is there something urgent?" Lin Shuyue was puzzled. After thinking for a while, she walked out, "Mom, I'll go to the front yard to take a look."

Li nodded. Seeing Qingshan carrying a basket and walking towards the kitchen, her eyes lit up: "Mother Luo, please ask Granny Shi to make a few dishes with spring bamboo shoots. Let's taste the deliciousness of these spring bamboo shoots."

Mother Luo agreed with a smile.

In the flower hall in the front yard, Wang Youzhi picked up the teacup at hand and opened the lid. The emerald green tea soup and the fresh and elegant tea fragrance all showed the preciousness of this tea. He took a sip and could feel the fragrance lingering on his lips and teeth.

"Uncle village chief, Manager Lin said that you had something to talk to me about the day before yesterday. Is it something urgent?" Lin An asked puzzled.

Wang Youzhi gently put down the teacup in his hand, then sighed, looked at Lin An and asked, "Do you still remember Yunniang from before?"

Yunniang? Lin An thought about it for a long time before he remembered the poor woman who was forced to jump into the river by her brother and sister-in-law.

"I remember, what happened?" He nodded, even more confused.

"Alas, Yunniang has a miserable life. After she was forced to jump into the river by her brother and sister-in-law, I went to her house and told her brothers Wang Cheng and Sun about it. At that time, they admitted their mistakes and promised not to chase Yunniang away..."

Wang Youzhi's increasingly furrowed brows made Lin An guess that the matter was definitely not over yet.

As expected, Wang Youzhi's face flashed with anger, and he said bitterly: "These two beasts, they didn't drive Yunniang away, but they were so cruel that they only let Yunniang eat a bowl of porridge a day, and locked her in the room during the day, making her embroider handkerchiefs from morning to night.

If her brother and sister-in-law hadn't gone to the market in the next town the day before, her mother would have let her out secretly for fear that her daughter would get sick from being locked up. Aunt Huang from next door saw her and saw how thin Yunniang was. She was afraid something might happen to her, so she rushed to inform me."

He paused, picked up the teacup, drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and continued, "Later, I took your Aunt Meihua to their home and found that Yunniang was as thin as a skeleton, and her fingers were swollen."

After hearing what the village chief said, Lin An was also very dissatisfied with the behavior of Wang Cheng and his wife, but he did not understand why the village chief said so much to a man like him. However, he did not ask and waited quietly for Wang Youzhi to finish speaking.

"The afternoon before yesterday, when those two bastards came back and found out that the truth had been revealed, they decided to throw the dice and threatened that if Yunniang wanted to stay at home, she would have to listen to them and make embroidery for them to sell every day. If she didn't agree, they wouldn't let Yunniang enter the house."

"We can't do anything about this ungrateful person. We can only let Yunniang make her own decision. Perhaps she was afraid that Wang Cheng and his wife would get worse, so she immediately said she would not go home. She would rather beg outside than stay in that house."

"But where could a weak girl like her go if she left home? Later we placed her in a wooden house where a hunter lived behind the village, but..."

Wang Youzhi paused here and looked at Lin An who had a puzzled look on his face, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Lin An was puzzled by the village chief's look. Just as he was about to speak, he saw his daughter poking her head out of the door.

"Little girl, come in." Lin An chuckled and greeted her.

Lin Shuyue did not hesitate and walked in directly. She greeted the village chief Wang Youzhi with a smile, then sat down on a chair and pretended to listen attentively.

Wang Youzhi glanced at Lin Shuyue and saw that she had no intention of leaving, so he continued, "She is a weak woman living alone at the foot of the mountain, and she has no money, so it is easy for her to get into trouble.

I discussed with your Aunt Meihua that since your house is so big, you must need people to do the work. So I came to you with a thick face to see if there is any work suitable for Yunniang in your family, and if you can lend a hand and pity this poor person. "

"This..." Lin An looked embarrassed. Although Yunniang was very pitiful, his family had too many secrets. It would definitely not be appropriate to let a stranger into the house.

Secondly, he should not be the one to be approached about this matter. The village chief should discuss it with the child's mother. If he bypasses Ru Niang and directly puts an unattached woman into the house, how will others look at the child's mother?

Lin Shuyue remained silent, she wanted to see what her father would decide.

Wang Youzhi was a little embarrassed when he saw Lin An's difficulty. He thought that the wealthy Lin family would not refuse such a small matter.

Just when Wang Youzhi was getting impatient, Lin An finally spoke up: "Uncle Village Chief, my wife is in charge of all arrangements for the people in the mansion. Please sit for a moment. I'll ask someone to invite Runiang over."

After saying that, he ordered Qingyuan, who was guarding the door, to go to the backyard and invite Li over.

Lin Shuyue was quite satisfied with her father's performance, but she was very dissatisfied with the village chief's approach of asking Lin An, a man, to settle a single young woman.

Yunniang was pitiful, but he never thought that if Lin An was soft-hearted and agreed directly, the news would spread, and the villagers might think Lin An's kindness was wrong, and might even laugh at Li behind her back.

She was not bragging, but her father Lin An looked much younger than his peers and was very handsome. If a middle-aged man like this were to help a young woman, there was no doubt about what the villagers would say behind her back.

After a while, Li came in with Luo's mother, sat next to Lin Shuyue, and asked in confusion: "Uncle village chief, the child's father, is there something wrong?"

Without waiting for Lin An to explain, Wang Youzhi simply recounted the whole matter and, at the end, made his own request.

After hearing this, Li was so angry that she pulled her handkerchief and cursed: "Wang Cheng and Sun are such bad people."

Then she pondered for a moment and looked at the village chief seriously: "Uncle Village Chief, I understand what you mean, but we really don't lack people to work in our mansion."

"However, now is the time to eat wild vegetables. If Yunniang is willing, she can dig some fresh wild vegetables every day and send them to our house. We will charge her according to the price of wild vegetables in the county. This way she can also have some income. What do you think?"
