Cannon Fodder Just Wants to Farm (MTL)

Chapter 35: Wan Hai's Life Experience

At that time, Xiao Wanshi was disgusted by the idea that the elders were bloodless and would not make steamed buns to fight for their reputation, but now that I think about it, isn't this just for the good old days? It was enough to just ignore He Zifeng at first. As she walked away, the sky became brighter and brighter, and she didn't dare to think back. The family must have been crying.

It's so good to be the rich wife of her village, why do you have to compete with her? But it's too late to say anything now.

Little Wan had never walked so much before, and the beautiful shoes she wore were not as comfortable as mille-layer soles. Blood flowed from the heel grinding. Taking a step makes my heart tremble. He still looks like the most respectable person in the village.

She only vaguely remembered the road to the county, and she took a lot of unnecessary steps. She set off in the middle of the night and arrived at the county seat at almost noon. Not to mention the difficulties along the way, Her face was weathered, and she looked like an old woman.

Little Wan took a simple bite of noodles. She took fifty taels from her youngest son and took out the twenty taels that He Donglai had collected from his private house over the years.

Afterwards, I inquired all the way and found out that the people captured below were all imprisoned!

She took five taels of silver to hire the jailer. After saying all the good things, she finally agreed, and the jailer let her go in and take a look.

As soon as he entered, he smelled the musty smell of the prison mixed with the smell of faeces and urine. Little Wan was not prepared for the first time he came in and almost vomited.

When you enter, there are large cells on both sides. There are prisoners who have been detained for who knows how long. They are shouting from time to time. Little Wan's hair almost stood up.

The jailer said: "We're here." Then he opened the prison door.

I saw Wan Hai with a haggard look on his face. His stubble had grown out after not seeing him for a day, and his clothes were dusty after being in such an environment. He looked like a homeless man who could be seen everywhere on the street: "Mom." A glimmer of light flashed in Wan Hai's eyes: "Why are you here?"

Xiao Wanshi said: "You are my mother's darling. It was my mother who harmed you."

Wan Hai was arrested yesterday and has not blinked until today, feeling extremely resentful of his mother. If he hadn't dug such a big trap, how could he have evil thoughts in his heart? But when he saw that little Wan was so old, walking step by step from the village, his heart softened again: "Don't say that, they are all children. Life."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wanshi said: "No, this is not your life." Xiao Wanshi then looked around and saw that the jailer brought her and then left. She was not interested in listening to their whispers. Said: "Didn't you always want to know who your biological father was when you were a child? Let me tell you, he is the son of Gong Xiyuan from this county."

There was a bit of disbelief on Wan Hai's face.

The Gong family where Gong Xiyuan lives is the second richest merchant in the county, with half of the streets being their family's ancestral property. Ordinary people may not know who the county magistrate is, but they all know Gong Xiyuan. Before today, Wan Hai had no idea that he could be related to such a big shot.

Little Wan was working as a footwasher in the Gong family. At that time, Gong Xiyuan was already the heir to the Gong family. She seduced him while he was drunk, thinking that being able to support an aunt was already a step to the top for someone like her. But Gong Xiyuan's wife, Mrs. Liu, was jealous and almost asked her servants to beat her to death after hearing about it. In the end, the old lady gave her a few taels of silver and was freed from slavery. She became pregnant within a few days of leaving the Gong family.

With the Gong family's wealth, Xiao Wan wanted to rely on the child in her belly to make the mother richer than the child. After ten months, she really gave birth to a son. After the confinement period, when she wanted to take the child to recognize her ancestors, she heard that Mrs Liu gave a pregnant aunt to their business partner.

Xiao Wan was frightened again. Mrs. Liu was a ruthless person. In ancient times, the mother left her son alone, but it was still unknown whether a bastard would survive if she was left with her. After all, too many children died young.

I just hoped that Gong Xiyuan would not give birth, and waited for five years to give birth. This Gong Xiyuan had the ability to enter the soul, and he had eight sons, none of whom were born as concubines. Xiao Wan finally became discouraged and couldn't survive in the county, so she wanted to rely on a man. After repeated inquiries, she found that He Donglai had a lot of money, so they hooked up with him after going back and forth.

Xiao Wanshi said: "So I want Dabao, Erbao and Xiaobao to take the imperial examination." The pain point for merchants like the Gong family is that there are no scholars in the family. Once their children become successful, wealthy businessmen like them always have the habit of subsidizing scholars. When the time comes, Xiao Wan will have the ability to let them know the truth of the past through some combination of circumstances and naturally recognize their ancestors. However, the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

Is it okay if I die before I even get the glory and wealth?

Xiao Wanshi said: "I went back and told the housekeeper that the housekeeper knew about me back then." During the years when Xiao Wanshi lived alone in the county, the housekeeper was her subordinate. The housekeeper gave her money to support her and her children's life. This detailed and thoughtful plan is provided.

Xiao Wanshi repeatedly warned: "I have eight sons, and none of them are easy to mess with. After I rescue you, I will return to the village immediately. Cut off contact with the Gong family. As long as Xiaobao and the others succeed, it should be yours." It's still yours."

Wan Hai knelt down, kowtowed to her mother solemnly, and said, "Thank you so much, mother."

Xiao Wanshi said: "That's not necessary. When you go back, you can try to pull He Fan and He Tong over." These words seemed to be explaining something.

Wan Hai said: "Why do you say this so politely?"

Xiao Wanshi said: "You also know He Donglai's temper. He can't tolerate me." After saying that, he pulled up his arm again, with red marks on it and said: "This is what he beat. I have no way to survive when I go back, so I might as well leave.". I will go to Xiaowowotou Alley in Nancheng to find the old fish seller. His wife is my sworn sister. If you have nothing to do, don't come to me. If they ask, you will say that I am dead." After finishing taking off his coat, he cut his fingers and threw some blood on them.

"Mom, our three sons can't protect you. You should be enjoying your old age. If he dares to hit you, I will hit him. He is an old man with coffin flesh and I am not afraid of him."

Xiao Wanshi said: "You have to be patient until Xiaobao and the others pass the exam." After saying that, the jailer came over to remind them to meet them then.

Little Wan said goodbye with tears in her eyes. After leaving the prison gate, he went to Gong's house.

I just came out of Gong's house in the evening. I didn't go to Nancheng Xiaowowotou Hutong at all. I just left the county town, hired a carriage and headed north. Even the place name was chosen casually.

With these fifteen taels of silver, she could spend the rest of her life carefully.

It only took Wanhaiguan two days for someone to clear up the relationship and get him out.

Wan Hai had a lot of imagination in his mind before he went out. After all, no matter how kind his stepfather He Donglai was to him, he was still not his biological father. But this time, the person who came was an ordinary servant who even came forward as a serious man. The servant's face looked like he was afraid of being blackmailed. Wan Hai is very proud at heart, don't bully young people into poverty! These villains look down on him, and sooner or later he will trample everyone under his feet.
