Mrs. Lu was struggling on the sidelines. Seeing that the farce was getting out of control, County Magistrate Duan frowned and shouted: "Stop it all!"

County magistrate Duan had never been so angry before, everyone immediately knelt down and sat together, the village head and Mrs. Lu were also stunned in place.

"Tie up this tricky woman!" County Magistrate Duan pointed to Mrs. Lu and said to the yamen servant next to her.

"My lord, absolutely not, my mother is old, and I hope you will show mercy!" Lu Youyi knelt and begged beside her.

"Although I want to be merciful, your mother has repeatedly bullied Jiang and beat Jiang in front of me. If I don't care how I will stand in the future? How can I be a good parent officer?" Duan County Magistrate Said with a frown.

Lu Youyi was rendered speechless by the county magistrate Duan, and his whole body drooped his head like a discouraged ball and stopped speaking. Mrs. Lu panicked when she saw the serious-looking yamen servants.

She immediately showed a pitiful expression and grabbed the village chief's arm and begged, "Village... village chief, help me!"

The village chief wanted to open his mouth to plead, but the county magistrate Duan glanced at him coldly, and the village chief choked back the words that came to his lips. The village chief shook his head and broke away from Mrs. Lu's arm. Mrs. Lu was tied up by the government servants in front of everyone. It was tied up and put aside for the time being.

The farce was over for the time being, and County Magistrate Duan continued to reward Jiang Ling. This time, County Magistrate Duan personally handed over the tray to Jiang Ling, and said softly, "Hurry up and put it away!"

Jiang Ling nodded and immediately put the silver in his arms.

About half an hour later, County Magistrate Duan finally finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out in twos and threes.

In the huge ancestral hall, only Jiang Ling, the village chief, the three Lu family brothers and the old lady Lu who was tied up by five flowers and whose face was full of tears were left.

County magistrate Duan signaled the village chief to close the gate of the ancestral hall. He stared at the heavily tied old lady Lu beside him and said, "According to the law, people who rob people for rewards in broad daylight and beat others without reason should receive fifty lashes..."

"What? Five...fifty? No! My son! I beg the county magistrate, the village chief, I was wrong! I beg you to intercede for me! Jiang...Jiang, I...I will never Dare, these fifty lashes will definitely kill me!" Before the magistrate Duan finished speaking, Mrs. Lu was so frightened that she wriggled her bound body and pleaded with everyone.

Lu Youyi walked up to Jiang Ling with an apologetic face, and said to Jiang Ling: "Jiang Shi, I...I..."

"Do you want to say that you apologize to me on behalf of your mother?" Jiang Ling Liu Mei said coldly.

"Ah...you...I..." Being choked by Jiang Ling, Lu Youren blushed and stood there at a loss.

"Jiang...I...I really know I was wrong, please, please forgive me! I don't dare anymore!" Old lady Lu said bitterly.

Jiang Ling looked at the old lady Lu in front of her without any compassion. Only she knew the real culprit of this old woman who tortured Yuanchen to death, and only she knew what Yuanchen suffered before.

If she hadn't transmigrated inexplicably, those children in the original body would be in danger now.

Jiang Ling looked at Mrs. Lu expressionlessly and said nothing.

"Old lady Lu is immoral. Due to her advanced age, she will be punished and whipped ten times!" County magistrate Duan glanced at the crowd and said.

"Ah! No! Don't..." Mrs. Lu rolled her eyes and passed out when she heard the result.

After Jiang Ling thanked the county magistrate Duan, he left the Lu family ancestral hall with the money in his pocket.

As soon as he got home, all four children ran over and surrounded Jiang Ling. Seeing the restless expressions of the four of them, Jiang Ling quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, I'm fine!"

The four children breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Jiang Ling put the money away and began to direct the children to work.

After a while, Erdeng's daughter-in-law and the village woman who worked before knocked on the door of Jiang Ling's house. Seeing Jiang Ling's blushing face, Erdeng's daughter-in-law asked concerned: "Mr. Jiang, are you okay?"

Jiang Ling shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's not the first time anyway, you go to work!"

The second daughter-in-law seemed to want to say something, but was held back by a village woman next to her.

Jiang Ling smiled at everyone, and went into the house by herself. The previous beeswax was all used up, and Jiang Ling planned to buy some.

Looking at the 50 taels of silver in her bosom, Jiang Ling felt a little embarrassed. Now all the people in Lujia Village knew that she had won the silver reward. If some of them had a wrong mind, they would be overwhelmed for a while.

"Hey, it would be great if there was a storage box!" Jiang Ling muttered in a low voice.

Just as Jiang Ling finished muttering, a pale yellow halo suddenly appeared on the mall page. After the halo disappeared, there was an extra button in the mall with three large characters written on it—locker.

Jiang Ling nodded curiously, and square grids appeared in front of Jiang Ling.

[Drip: 500 taels of silver is required to activate the locker function]

When Jiang Ling tentatively picked up the teapot on the table and was about to put it in the locker, the sound of the mechanical system sounded in Jiang Ling's mind.

"What? 500 taels? That's...that's too much!" Jiang Ling's outstretched hand stayed in midair.

This afternoon, Jiang Ling was melancholy over the 500 taels of silver, and she was absent-minded about doing things, and even almost burned Jiang Wenxi who was hiding at the door when melting the beeswax.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" At night, all three children fell asleep, except Jiang Yaojie sitting in the courtyard looking at the sky with the wind blowing.

Seeing Jiang Ling coming out, he couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"It's nothing, isn't this the county magistrate who rewarded us with 50 taels of silver? My mother thought that the old house is too small now, and planned to buy a piece of land to build a big house again, but my mother thought about it, you are old now, If we marry a daughter-in-law in a few years, our family will not even have an acre of Susukida to live on, so Mother wants to buy some land again, for you and your younger brothers and sisters, and make plans earlier." Jiang Ling said duplicity.

"Mother, I'm not in a hurry to marry a wife! I still want to spend my whole life with my mother!" Jiang Yaojie said with a blushing face.

Looking at Jiang Yaojie's expression, Jiang Ling's heart skipped a beat. Jiang Yaojie's current appearance is a bit wrong. Before Zhao Erling's wife was going to introduce Jiang Yaojie to someone, Jiang Yaojie seemed very resistant, but now when Jiang Ling said to marry a wife, Jiang Yaojie turned red face.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ling had a bad feeling. Jiang Ling swallowed, and asked tentatively, "Yaojie, do you have a sweetheart?"

"No...how...how can there be, mother..." Jiang Yaojie's face turned redder, and he faltered a little flustered.

Looking at Jiang Yaojie's appearance, Jiang Ling became more certain of her thoughts, but she didn't expose it, but said softly: "Okay, if you don't have it, you don't have it, but if you really meet your sweetheart, you have to tell your mother."

"Really?" Jiang Yaojie chuckled, but his expression returned to normal in the next second, and Jiang Ling nodded gently without making a sound.Then he changed the subject and said, "Yaojie, do you think we should build the house first or buy the land first?"
