The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 258 Go straight to the action

The fact that Fang's fourth son cheated on his exam and that Wang's eldest grandson sold the exam questions caused a huge uproar in Zaoshu Village.

They were just ordinary people; they had never seen a government official come to arrest people twice in two days.

Wang Defa walked very slowly because of his limp. The officials had limited patience and were eager to finish their work, so they made things difficult for him along the way.

In the past six months, he had rarely exercised and had not walked far. Suddenly walking such a long distance was really hard for him. His legs hurt like they were being pricked with needles. The more he walked, the more painful it became, and the slower he walked, and the more limped he became.

Seeing him dawdling, the two constables grew angry. "If you can't walk, can't you just behave? You're already lame and you still won't learn your lesson. You're a scholar, can't you find a job and live a stable life? Why do you have to do this illegal thing? Now look what happened! Hurry up, hurry up, it's getting dark, let's go!"

Wang Defa gritted his teeth and walked step by step toward the county government office.

The county town was much, much farther than the town, and his painful, staggering appearance did not elicit a shred of sympathy.

They've seen far worse things than what he's experienced.

About an hour later, Wang Defa could no longer walk. He really couldn't walk anymore. With each step, the excruciating pain in his legs felt like a sharp steel knife piercing straight into his bone marrow, causing him to feel dizzy and his vision to go black.

Seeing him stop, one of the constables, looking impatient, shoved Wang Defa hard, causing him to stumble and nearly fall. Another constable was equally annoyed: "We brothers are in a hurry to get home today, and you've delayed us all. Hurry up!" His words were full of disdain.

Large beads of sweat rolled down Wang Defa's forehead, soaking his clothes. Being humiliated in public like this, even a clay figure would have some anger. His teeth clenched so tightly that they gurgled, and his fingernails dug deep into his palms, almost drawing blood, but he stubbornly remained silent.

The dirt road beneath my feet was rugged and uneven, and the stones hurt my soles. My already disabled leg was even more overwhelmed.

Wang Defa stared at the road ahead, his legs feeling as heavy as if they weighed a ton, each step requiring all his strength. All he wanted now was to get to the county town as quickly as possible, so that at least he wouldn't have to walk anymore.

When the Fang family heard that the exam questions were sold by Wang Defa, Granny Sun went straight to the Wang family's door, throwing a tantrum and cursing, saying that they had ruined her eldest grandson.

Song and Cui Hehua were no pushovers either; they immediately got into a fight, pointing at the old woman and hurling even more offensive insults. The women from both families began wrestling right in front of the Wang family's house.

Finally, the village chief and the heads of both clans arrived before things calmed down.

The clan chief said that the most urgent task was not to blame anyone for corrupting whom, but to figure out how to get the person out. Is a prison cell a place for ordinary people? If torture is used, the person will be crippled even if they don't die.

The Fang family approached Fang Youcai, but the eldest son of the Fang family said he couldn't help. The old man told him to go to Fang Xiaoning, but Fang Youcai said that once a daughter is married, she is no longer considered part of the family. She is a member of the Song family, and the Fang family's affairs have nothing to do with her. Even if the entire family is implicated, it won't affect her. This is what the teacher told him.

Grandpa Fang was so angry he almost had a stroke. His wife hadn't slept for two days and went to the Wang family to cause a scene. She was exhausted and didn't even have the strength to scold Fang Youcai.

Ever since the fourth son's accident, his two daughters-in-law have been extremely cold towards his family.

Sigh, let's not talk about that. The most important thing is that the fourth brother has to get out as soon as possible, and he has to get out alive.

He was afraid that someone inside would torture him, and he wouldn't be able to withstand it.

So the two elders went straight to the Song family, begging their eldest granddaughter to save the person. They appealed to their eldest son, who also sought help from Xiao Ning, so they chose to bypass Fang Youcai altogether.

Fang Xiaoning entertained them in the main room. They were guests, and even her own grandparents, so she couldn't refuse them entry.

"Xiao Ning, I beg you, please save your fourth uncle. Now, you're the only one who can save him."

"Grandma thinks too highly of me. Brother Feng is just a food vendor. I stay home with the kids every day. How could I possibly go to the county government? To be honest, I've only been to the county government once."

"Xiao Ning, you're the only one Grandma can count on right now!"

"I beg you, I know I wronged you before, and I apologize. Your fourth uncle is inside, and his fate is unknown. I really can't find anyone else, Xiao Ning!" The old man's voice was filled with sorrow.

Fang Xiaoning stared at him; in just two days, the old man seemed to have gotten even more white hair.

Oh, the hearts of parents are always full of love! My uncle is so lucky to have such intense paternal and maternal love, something his father never received in his entire life. No, he never received even a little bit either.

Now she has to clean up after her two elderly parents' precious son. The old man and she are truly miserable!
