Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 305: Something Happened to the Chief Clerk

Gu Qinglian's eyes were filled with tears, and she said in a sad tone, "Girl, the death of your father and mother was an accident. If possible, no one would want such a thing to happen."

"So? Your word 'accident' can erase everything I've lost?"

An Yue couldn't help but sneer: "Humph! The lives of your relatives are lives. Then the lives of my father and mother are not lives?"

Gu Qinglian took a deep breath and said again: "In this huge dynasty, if you want to survive in the cracks, someone will always be sacrificed. My brother... isn't he the same?"

"After all, this whole thing is a dispute among your officials. What does it have to do with us, the people who make a living in the land?"

Gu Qinglian bit her lower lip and said loudly, "Without the disputes in the officialdom, will you be safe? No! You will only be oppressed even more miserably by those servile people! You will be even more suffocated!"

An Yue lost her patience and asked, "Well, nowadays, there are natural disasters and locust plagues everywhere. We ordinary people are suffering terribly and everyone is starving. Who of you has ever cared about our lives?"

An Yue pointed at Gu Qinglian and asked, "Is it you?"

Then he pointed at Gu Mingchuan and asked, "Or you?"

After An Yue asked, everyone fell silent.

After a long time, Gu Mingchuan said: "But, that thing..."

An Yue's anger continued to rise, and she interrupted ruthlessly: "No buts! I'm not a god, nor a saint! I can't take care of myself now, so I don't have time to care about the grudges between you adults."

After saying that, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself down.

He opened his eyes and said coldly, "Goodbye!" Then he walked towards the door.

She walked a few steps, then stopped and said without looking back: "Oh, by the way, my father and mother can't come back anymore, so let's bury that thing with them!"

After she finished speaking, An Yue took a few steps before she saw the servant who had been sent to deliver the message coming back.

The servant hurried to Gu Qinglian and reported breathlessly: "Madam, now we can only enter the Shen Mansion but not leave. We can't get any news about the master. I'm afraid the master is under house arrest..."

When Gu Qinglian heard this, she felt like she was struck by lightning. She swayed a few times and almost fainted.

Zhao Lingxiang and Gu Mingchuan hurriedly supported her.

Gu Qinglian's legs went limp and she said, "This... What should I do?"

After An Yue learned the news, she did not stay there for too long. It is better to stay away from the disputes in officialdom.

She took Daniu and Ale to Hexi to buy some food and then return to the village.

When Ale saw An Yue coming out, he quickly ran up and shouted, "Miss, you finally came out."

"What's wrong?"

Ale waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, but you entered the official's house alone and haven't come out for a long time. We are a little worried."

Daniel also echoed: "Yes, yes."

An Yue forced a smile and said to Ale and Daniu, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Ale asked, "Miss, where are we going next?"

"Let's go to the rice shop, buy some food and go home." An Yue said absentmindedly.

Daniu and Ale lifted the wooden box and walked beside An Yue.

The three of them walked through two streets and alleys, and crossed the stone arch bridge to reach Hexi.

According to the location described by the owner of Xiangxiang Pavilion, An Yue led the big bull A'er along the river.

After a while, the three of them saw a long line in front of a shop not far away.

An Yue and the other two walked over there and saw the eye-catching characters "Lin's Rice Shop" engraved on the plaque at the door of the shop.

No one was allowed to enter the shop, and people could only queue up at the door to buy food.

Daniu and Ale put the wooden box aside, and Daniu said, "Miss, you can rest here... here, and let me, Daniu, go and line up."

After saying that, he ran and stood at the back of the long queue.

After An Yue came out of Zhao's house, she kept thinking about the chief clerk's affairs.

What Gu Qinglian said today was almost the same as what An Yue had guessed in her heart.

Now even the chief clerk is under house arrest. Has Yongchuan County really fallen into the hands of those evil people?

At this time, it was almost noon.

An Yue was sitting on a wooden box in a daze, and A'er saw that An Yue was sweating profusely.

So he stood up and looked around, and saw many large leaves along the river bank.

He walked down the stone steps, picked a few large leaves and handed them to An Yue.

An Yue took the big leaf from Ale's hand and said, "Thank you, Ale."

He smiled shyly, then ran to hand it to Daniu.

Daniu placed a large leaf on his head to cover it, and used another leaf as a fan to fan himself.

He was strong and looked somewhat honest, and standing in the crowd, he looked somewhat funny and ridiculous.

A'er, who was standing next to Daniu, also covered his head with it. An Yue looked at their actions and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

She looked carefully at the leaves in her hand, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. She called Ale and asked, "Ale, where did you pick these from?"

Ale pointed to the dry river bank and said, "It's right there."

An Yue quickly stood up and looked in the direction that A'er was pointing.

You won’t know until you see it. You will be surprised when you see it.

An Yue hurriedly walked down the stone steps. A'er greeted Daniu and followed An Yue to the river bank.

An Yue came to the bank of the river, squatted down and looked carefully at the roots of the leaves.

Now she was in high spirits.

An Yuexi smiled and said, "Ale, we won't be hungry anymore."

Ale asked in confusion: "Miss, what is this?"

An Yue grinned and said, "This is called taro."

Ale scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Taro? Miss, are you saying that this is edible?"

"Of course, this is good stuff."

An Yue was very happy when she saw the countless taro growing on the river bank.

Suddenly, they heard someone quarreling in the river, and An Yue and A'er ran over to see what was going on.

I heard a commotion coming from the people queuing in front of Daniu.

Ale walked up to Daniu and asked, "Daniu, what's going on?"

Daniel gestured, "Someone cut in line."

I saw a sturdy man grabbing an old man's collar with both hands. The old man was wearing tattered clothes and had wrinkles all over his face.

The sturdy man shouted loudly: "You old man, you dare to cut in line in front of me! I'm afraid you are tired of living!"

The man behind the burly man also echoed: "Yeah, everyone has been waiting in line for so long, why do you want to cut in line?"

The old man bowed with both hands and begged, "I am so sorry, everyone. My wife hasn't eaten for a few days. I am in a hurry to buy some food and make porridge for her. Please be kind!"

The man snorted fiercely: "Then someone please be kind and let me buy it first!"
