Chapter 197: Walk your own path from now on
"Wang Qing, Zhu Yue deliberately stole hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. He will be beheaded at noon tomorrow and put in jail now."
"mother!"
Xu Lian'er screamed, but unfortunately no one paid any attention to her. Zhu Yue and the other were taken away.
"father."
"Shut up, who is your dad! This is my dad!"
Xu Yu retorted without mercy, no longer as friendly as before, and Xu Wansheng also sighed.
Xu Lian'er took two steps back in fear, looking at her once close family members in bewilderment.
"Yu Niang, Lian'er has called you sister for 16 years. Although she is spoiled, she has always been respectful to you as her sister. Now she is alone and will soon become an orphan. Don't make things difficult for her."
Xu Yu snorted coldly and did not answer.
"Sir, now that the matter has been understood, I will take my father and I away. Thank you for upholding justice for us."
Xu Yu took his leave immediately, and County Magistrate Ge certainly would not keep him any longer.
"Well, I will have people draw portraits of Lao Dao and his men and track them down. Even if you don't pursue them, they will still go to jail if they are caught."
Xu Yu kowtowed respectfully to express his gratitude.
"Thank you, sir."
The plaintiff and the defendant both retreated, and Su He and the others did not stay any longer. After County Magistrate Ge left, they also followed him out to look for their family next door.
They also need to find a lawyer to settle down in Qingshan Village.
"Miss Su, please stay."
As soon as Su He went out, she found that everyone was waiting for her. Wang Hongyuan came over with a smile first.
"Thank you Miss Su for your righteous act. If you need to send mail or take a ship to transport goods in the future, please contact our Hongyun Trading Company and we will give you a 20% discount."
Su He felt a little embarrassed. She helped Boss Feng and his group out of selfish motives.
"Boss Wang, you are too polite. I feel bad for He Hua. I didn't help much. I just feel sorry for Boss Feng and his seven men. They were implicated by Lao Dao and his three men. I don't know how much money they have to pay."
Wang Hongyuan laughed, he knew what Su He meant.
"They want to fine them three months' wages. I am not a cold-blooded person. If these seven people do well in the future, their wages will still be increased."
"Boss Wang is indeed a generous man, worthy of being the helmsman of Hongyun Commercial Bank."
Su He was also happy for Boss Feng and the other seven people. Although three months of punishment was a lot for them and they would have to live a difficult life for a while, as long as they could get through it, they would have a new life.
No one had the delusion that it could just get away with no punishment.
Wang Hongyuan nodded towards Su He, bowed to Xu Wansheng and others, and left with Boss Feng and the other seven men.
"Miss Su, I heard that my father hit your grandfather. I will pay for his medical expenses for the next three months. Your grandfather is in Renjitang now. I will send someone to greet him. All expenses can be paid directly to me at the Chen Mansion."
Su Hearing Xu Yu mention this, she felt even more embarrassed. Her grandfather was committing fraud, but she couldn't admit it now.
"My grandfather is old. Even though the two of them bumped into each other, we can't blame Master Xu entirely. We will pay for the money ourselves."
Su He thought about it and decided to refuse. She didn't know what Xu Wansheng said to Xu Yu, but Xu Yu insisted on paying, so Su He had no choice but to give up.
"Sister."
Su He looked at Xu Lian'er who came out and said goodbye tactfully.
"Master Xu, Master Chen Wu and Madam Chen, we will take our leave first. We still need to go to the master to discuss settling in the village."
Su He and Wang Liang quickly left.
"Dad, let's go."
Xu Yu didn't even look at Xu Lian'er behind him, and he and Chen Zhizhao supported Xu Wansheng and wanted to leave.
Xu Wansheng couldn't bear it, "Yu Niang, let me say a few more words to Lian'er."
"Lian'er, Wang Qing must have given you some money. I don't say how much, but it must be several thousand taels. You should keep the money well and don't tell anyone. Your maternal grandparents are not kind people. I advise you not to look for them. Just find a family in Guangyuan to marry and live a good life in the future. When we meet again in the future, we can just be strangers."
Xu Lian'er's tears flowed freely, "I'm sorry."
"You will have to walk the road ahead on your own."
Xu Wansheng said this calmly, and walked away supported by his daughter and son-in-law.
After a while, Su He and his family entered the court again, only to see Xu Lian'er still standing there stupidly.
"Hehua, Escort Leader Zheng and his men left first when they knew we were safe. They were rushing to the escort agency to look for their young master. Escort Leader Zheng said that he would let us visit him when he was free."
Wang Fugui explained to Hehua that the people from Zhengda were also kind-hearted and loyal. They stayed with them all the time and only left after making sure that everything was alright.
"Lotus, let's ask the adults later if we can buy more land. Hehe, I want to bring my father and others over."
Wang Laowu was extremely happy and was now planning to buy the land that housed nearly a hundred people.
"It's easy to make a move. Let's wait at least a year until we are firmly established before we go. We don't even know what Qingshan Village will look like yet."
Wang Laoliu rolled his eyes at his nemesis brother. This man needs to be urged on from time to time, otherwise he will easily become complacent.
"Hehua, we will buy land next to each other and build a house together. Mom said she will buy a pig's head and stew it for you tomorrow."
Wen Niang held Xiao Shitou and squeezed to the left side of Su He and refused to leave. Wang Laowu, who was standing nearby, became anxious when he heard this, as they also wanted to live next to Su He.
"My family can also make braised pig's head. Lotus, let's be your neighbor. The kids in our family can all play with Miaomiao."
When Juhua saw that Wang Laowu was so enthusiastic, she also plucked up the courage to step forward and recommend herself. Suddenly, Su He was surrounded by people and everyone rushed towards the door.
Xu Lian'er looked at Su He with envy. She was so happy to have so many relatives like her.
"Girl, you still have a chance to see your parents today, so have a good talk with them. Your parents are the only ones who truly care about you."
At this moment, Sun looked at Xu Lian'er standing there alone and felt sorry for her.
"I was brought up by a wet nurse, and my aunt didn't like me very much."
Xu Lian'er looked at the kind-hearted Sun, and the tears that had already dried up began to fall again.
"She doesn't like you very much, and so does your mother. Tonight is the last time you will see each other. Let's put aside the past. Your father must have made plans for you. Hurry up and go to the prison to see him. If you have money, buy a small yard nearby and live a low-key life. From now on, don't trust anyone but yourself."
Xu Lian'er looked at Sun in confusion, "Why are you telling me this? I treated you like this before."
"You are spoiled, but we didn't lose anything. Master Xu also compensated us, and we accepted it, and it's all over. Don't feel sorry for yourself. Compared to those orphans who have nothing, you are already very lucky."
After Sun finished speaking, she took Zheng away.
Xu Lian'er wiped away her tears and stuffed a tael of silver into the hands of the constable at the door.
"Brother Constable, please help me find my parents. I want to see them for the last time."
The constable at the door also watched the whole process. He did not hesitate to take the money and took Xu Lian'er directly to the cell.
In cases like Wang Qing, he was allowed to see his relatives before being beheaded.
An incense stick later, Xu Lian'er saw Wang Qing, who had changed into prison clothes.
"father."
Wang Qing turned around in surprise, and burst into tears the moment he saw Xu Lian'er.
