Jiang Zhishan stared at Jiang Ling in surprise.

Jiang Ling smiled at Jiang Zhishan and said, "When I went to Pingxi County, I ran into County Magistrate Duan by chance, and I told County Magistrate Duan about your matter, and County Magistrate Duan promised me that he would investigate this matter thoroughly. .”

"This morning, I took Suihe to Pingxi County and ran into Duan County Magistrate to inspect the people. Duan County Magistrate told me that he was supposed to come here today to announce the news, but he has official business and will come tomorrow. Your business has already been settled." After the investigation is clear, you can go back to the academy to study again!"

Jiang Ling's words made everyone present focus on Jiang Zhishan.

Old Mrs. Jiang was even more overjoyed. She quickly grabbed Jiang Zhishan's arm and said, "Son, go back with Mother, pack up and let's go back to the academy!"

The other people in Lujiacun were not thinking, they looked at Jiang Zhishan reluctantly, wanted to say something but didn't know how to open their mouths.

After all, Jiang Zhishan was not from Lujia Village, even if he was reluctant and wanted to leave, the people of Lujia Village couldn't say anything.

"Mother, I'm not going to leave!" Jiang Zhishan said, shaking his head and looking at the villagers in Lujia Village.

"What?" Everyone looked at Jiang Zhishan in surprise when they heard the catalog.

Mrs. Jiang's original expression froze even more on her face. She suddenly changed color, pointed at Jiang Ling beside her with her eyebrows upside down, and scolded, "Little whore! What kind of ecstasy soup did you pour on your brother! This is Your dear brother! Why are you so cruel?"

Jiang Ling gave Mrs. Jiang a blank look, but ignored Mrs. Jiang's sarcasm.

Jiang Zhishan reached out and grabbed Mrs. Jiang's arm and said with a displeased expression: "Mom! What are you doing, this matter has nothing to do with the elder sister! Stop scolding her!"

"Eldest sister has done me such a big favor, I must thank her, not to mention that although I live and eat at the eldest sister's house these days, the eldest sister did not treat me harshly at all, but encouraged me to teach here to make a living!"

After hearing Jiang Zhishan's words, Mrs. Jiang couldn't hold back anymore, but she still forced her eyes wide open and rolled her eyes at Jiang Ling, saying: "That's what she should do, you are her younger brother, she helps you It's only natural for you!"

"Mother! Nothing is taken for granted, I owe my eldest sister too much!" Jiang Zhishan's tone was a little anxious, and his tone was a little higher.

"You..." Mrs. Jiang didn't know how to refute her son for a while, so she could only "cut into pieces" Jiang Ling with her eyes.

Jiang Ling didn't care, she glanced at Jiang Zhishan and said, "Zhishan, whether to go or leave it to you to decide. You are an adult now!"

The villagers in Lujia Village were a little displeased when they heard Jiang Ling's words. Jiang Ling clearly drove Jiang Zhishan out, but they could only keep their mouths shut when they thought that Jiang Zhishan was from Jiangjia Village.

Jiang Zhishan bowed to Jiang Ling, then turned to bow to the people in Lujia Village and said slowly: "Jiang Zhishan is here to thank the uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters of Lujia Village, I was expelled from the academy for some reason, you didn't look down on me I don’t say anything, but I still respect me so much, here I salute everyone, please rest assured, I, Jiang Zhishan, will not leave Lujiacun for at least four months!”

"What? Son! Four... four months?" Mrs. Jiang didn't expect Jiang Zhishan to stay in Lujia Village for so long.

She grabbed Jiang Zhishan's arm again and said to him: "Son! Are you crazy, four months, what if it delays your study!"

Jiang Zhishan shook his head and gently pushed old lady Jiang's hand away and said, "Mother, you don't need to worry about this matter, I have my own plan!"

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Zhishan bowed deeply to those elders in Jiangjia Village and said, "Let all the uncles worry about it, it is good and incompetent!"

"Jiang...Jiang family boy, you really don't plan to go back with us?" The head of Jiang's village stroked his beard and said.

Jiang Zhishan shook his head and said firmly, "Yes, uncles, please go back earlier! It's been a hard trip today!"

Mrs. Jiang wanted to say something after hearing that, the village head of Jiangjia Village shook her head and said to Mrs. Jiang: "Sister-in-law, let's go back, your son won't be able to persuade you!"

After being told this, Mrs. Jiang could only turn around and leave dejectedly, but before leaving, she still gave Jiang Ling a vicious look, as if she was warning Jiang Ling to take care of Jiang Zhishan.

"Everyone, please rest assured that within these four months, I will do my best to teach every child well!" Jiang Zhishan, who was wearing dark gray linen clothes, said standing in the crowd.

Seeing Mrs. Jiang and the others leave, everyone in Lujiacun heaved a sigh of relief. They all shook their heads with kind expressions to express their gratitude to Jiang Zhishan.

"Mother, the two restaurants in Changning Town have ordered two hundred bowls of mint water. This is their deposit!"

Jiang Yaojie slammed the copper plate onto the table and said to Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling looked at the copper plates on a table and turned to ask with a mysterious smile, "Yaojie, why didn't you hand over the copper plates to me in the bullock cart just now?"

"Mom, you told me not to reveal your money, and there were other people in the car, so I didn't hand it over to you!" Jiang Yaojie replied with a smile.

Jiang Ling nodded with satisfaction. Her eldest son seemed to be obsessed with doing business, and he was also very talented and intelligent.

"The [-] bowls of mint water, deducting the deposit, how much will the owners of these two restaurants have to pay us?" Jiang Ling planned to test Jiang Yaojie.

I saw Jiang Yaojie took out the abacus and began to fiddle with the beads of the abacus. After a while, he raised his head and said triumphantly: "The two shopkeepers need to pay us [-] copper coins in total, and each family will pay [-] copper coins!"

Speaking of which, Jiang Yaojie deliberately shook the abacus in his hand.

Jiang Ling and Jiang Zhishan looked at each other, it was not difficult to see that Jiang Zhishan was also very satisfied with Jiang Yaojie.

"Yaojie, can you be responsible for delivering these two buckets of spicy grass syrup tomorrow?" Jiang Ling asked.

Jiang Yaojie patted his chest and nodded confidently, and Jiang Ling couldn't help but smiled gratifiedly when he saw this scene.

Jiang Yaojie has undergone earth-shaking changes since he and County Magistrate Duan went looking for water sources. At least in Jiang Ling's view, Jiang Yaojie is no longer the taciturn and sensitive boy he was before.

Jiang Ling took twelve copper coins from the table and put them in Jiang Yaojie's hand, saying: "These two copper coins are used to pay the transportation fee for Lu Bo's ox cart back and forth, and the remaining ten copper coins are at your disposal!"

Jiang Yaojie's facial expression was a bit complicated after hearing the words "freedom to dominate", three points surprised and seven points excited.

"You're an older child, and you have the right to control the money. How about these ten copper coins as a reward for you to negotiate two restaurants!" Jiang Ling said.

"Then...then...then if I succeed in the negotiation, will you reward me again?" Jiang Yaojie asked excitedly.

"This..." Jiang Ling was at a loss for words for a moment, looking at Jiang Yaojie's expectant eyes, Jiang Ling still nodded.

But she seems to understand that not everything should use money to encourage children.
