Everyone Pampers the Small Blessing Who Has a Spatial Pocket! Chapter 143

143 Grandma Zhou Is Gone

Old Madam w.a.n.g did not do anything. She only brought people to find Murong Run first. Then, she spouted nonsense and exaggerated the value of the fruit to the sky.

Only Old Madam w.a.n.g knew that the value of that fruit was much higher than everyone thought.

That was something planted by a true Immortal. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was priceless.

Who had ever used an Immortal’s item?

Even if the Emperor came, he would not receive such treatment.

100 taels of silver was naturally not enough.

Her Ah Yu seemed to have made an agreement with an Immortal to earn a lot of money. As her grandmother, she naturally had to help.

In the end, Old Madam w.a.n.g took another 130 taels from Murong Run.

Old Madam w.a.n.g was calm, but her son and grandson could no longer close their mouths.

How could it be so easy for their mother to earn money?!!

Then why had their family been poor for so many years?

This did not make sense at all!

Murong Run’s friends were a little unhappy and felt that these farmers seemed to be playing tricks.

They had clearly agreed to only pay 100 taels of silver. Their Young Master valued his reputation and even gave the money first.

In the end, they changed their mind on the second day.

They even asked for an exorbitant price. Not only did she double the price, but she also took an additional 30 taels.

On the other hand, Murong Run understood very well. He ate all the fruits that Little Ah Yu gave him. After eating them, he felt that his body seemed to be much better.

Although he had been running around for the past few months and he had tried to eat and sleep as well as possible, he was still a little tired.

But after eating that fruit, it felt even more nouris.h.i.+ng than eating a good bird’s nest.

No, it was even more nouris.h.i.+ng!

“If you still have more of this fruit in the future, come to the prefecture city of Tonghua County to look for me. As long as you tell them my name, someone will tell you where I am.”

In front of Old Madam w.a.n.g, Murong Run still knew how to respect his elders. He did not wave his fan.

Old Madam w.a.n.g did not agree. “What kind of place is Tonghua County? I haven’t walked so far and can’t be bothered to go! If you want it, come over at this time next year to ask, but I can’t guarantee that I’ll have it.”

Who knew if something planted by an Immortal would grow again?

In any case, Old Madam w.a.n.g thought that it was fine even if it was gone.

Murong Run: “After your children left yesterday, someone called Grandma Zhou found many people to look for them, but I stopped her.”

Not only did he stop them, but Murong Run also got a servant to beat up Grandma Zhou and her family in the middle of the night, especially her face. It was still swollen.

Murong Run liked to consider the consequences when he did things. He felt that Grandma Zhou was a vengeful person. Perhaps after they left, she would take revenge on that little girl’s family.

He liked that little girl very much, so he didn’t care what entanglement they had. In any case, he had to protect her.

Therefore, the servant went to Old Madam Zhou’s family again overnight. After beating up Old Madam Zhou’s family, he left 100 taels of silver for their Patriarch. All of this was to send a message to tell Old Madam Zhou to be careful outside and not offend anyone she shouldn’t offend.

Murong Run’s servant was extremely skilled, and it was especially painful when he hit someone. Whether it was a man, woman, old, or young, he could do it.

This frightened those people out of their wits.

That night, they ran to Nanhe Town and escorted Grandma Zhou away, afraid that if they were too slow, they would be beaten up again.

Murong Run casually brought this matter up and only said that he had helped them resolve a problem.

Old Madam w.a.n.g said, “Alright then. If I still remember this matter at this time next year, I’ll personally send it to you.”

They naturally had to remember the huge favor he had given them.

Murong Run was immediately satisfied after obtaining half a basket of fruits. He brought the servants back to the residence.

With these fruits, he would go back and let his mother think about what she could do. When the time came, she would be able to give them to Grandpa as a congratulatory gift. He would definitely be happy.

After Murong Run left, Old Madam w.a.n.g did not intend to let it go just like that. Fortunately, the people Zhang Zhan had found had also arrived in Nanhe Town. His people had found out that Grandma Zhou was indeed colluding with the Daoist priests. It had not just been a day or two, but she had been doing evil here for more than ten years.

In the name of the Imperial Envoy, Zhang Zhan directly wiped out Grandma Zhou’s nest and rounded up a series of matchmakers with bad conduct. He even posted notices in the county city and various towns to publicize the crimes of Grandma Zhou and the others.

Poor Grandma Zhou’s family. They had just taken her back.

They originally wanted to teach Grandma Zhou a lesson, but in the end, they saw that Grandma Zhou had been beaten black and blue. In addition, Grandma Zhou was crying a river, saying that she had been wronged.

Grandma Zhou’s old mother watched with tears in her eyes. She hugged Grandma Zhou and cried.

“My poor child, who was so heartless to hit you and ruin your reputation outside!”

“My poor child!”

At this moment, a group of officials suddenly barged into Grandma Zhou’s family home and wanted to take her away.

The village chief and the patriarch’s men were all alarmed and hurriedly asked, “Sir, what’s going on?”

The leading official looked impatient. “If you didn’t see clearly, we are here to capture people! The Imperial Envoy has discovered that the Zhou and Wu Families colluded with Daoists and manipulated the marriage arrangements of families to wreak havoc! From today onwards, we will take them into custody and judge them seriously!”

When Grandma Zhou’s family heard this, they felt their vision go dark. Why were they suddenly coming to arrest people? From the looks of it, she would have to go to jail.

“Could this be a mistake? My daughter is a good child,” Grandma Zhou’s mother said as she wiped her tears.

“The Imperial Envoy deals with evidence. Do you want to question the Imperial Envoy?” The official was even more unhappy. “To tell you the truth, the Imperial Envoy has enough evidence. You should think about your future path clearly!”

These words immediately made those people’s faces turn pale. A person in the family being imprisoned would have a huge impact on the entire family.

They were not ordinary farmers. The conditions in the village were not bad either. There were many scholars, but they were basically all related.

“It’s all your fault, b*tch. What did you do outside!” Grandma Zhou’s father kicked her chest, causing both her and Old Madam Zhou to fall to the ground, However, no one dared to help the mother and daughter pair.

“You’re still protecting her. Do you know that if she goes to prison, our sons and grandsons will be finished!” Grandma Zhou’s father said to Old Madam Zhou.

Old Madam Zhou’s eyes widened in fear.

Of course, she liked her daughter, but when she was old, her sons and grandson were her greatest support.

“Mother, save me! I was wronged!” Grandma Zhou, who was in her forties, cried.

But her mother pushed her away. “I don’t have a daughter like you!”

The Village Chief, the Patriarch, and the others also looked disgusted.

The official waited for them to finish venting before pulling Grandma Zhou away.

The Patriarch said with a cold expression, “Open the ancestral hall! Remove this person’s name from the family register!”

The village chief said to the people beside him, “Take them to Nanhe Town and let the Zhou family do as they see fit there. We’ll remove their family from the village. We won’t care and definitely won’t intervene!”

After obtaining the evidence, Zhang Zhan acted decisively and arrested a large group of local matchmakers, as well as the Daoists who had colluded with them.

Three days later, Zhang Zhan sentenced Grandma Zhou and the rest. Grandma Zhou manipulated the matters of marriage between families and was completely heartless. She was sentenced to 20 years of hard labor.

Usually, people would not be able to last more than ten years doing hard labor.

The other matchmakers were sentenced to 8 to 15 years of hard labor or prison, depending on the severity of their crime.

The Daoists were sentenced to death for the crime of witchcraft.

This case shocked the entire Yongding County, making many people who had done bad things and wanted to do bad things feel like the officials had done this act of killing the chickens to warn the monkeys.

The local atmosphere became solemn. Everyone said that Zhang Zhan was a great Lord.

Grandma Zhou had never thought that she would fall at the hands of a little girl after strutting around proudly for so many years!

If she had known earlier, she would have waited for the Imperial Envoy to leave and the new county magistrate to take office. She would have been able to escape unscathed like before.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to reverse time even with money. She waited until her death and did not see the day she could make a comeback.

At this moment, Little Ah Yu, who was hated by Grandma Zhou, was flipping the fruits over. Their preserved fruits were about to be ready.
