Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Everyone stepped forward, pinching her philtrum and patting her chest. Lanhua had never expected things to develop to this point. Cui couldn't get into trouble now. If Cui got into trouble, then what she wanted would be even more impossible to achieve.

"Mom, wake up, what's wrong with you? You can't scare me, please call a doctor quickly." Sheng Lanhua cried.

Lanhua said to invite a doctor, but no one in the room moved. "She has been making trouble like this for more than once. Besides, farmers don't have that much money. If we invite doctors over and over again, the doctors will almost become ours year after year. Don't you think our Sheng family is not ashamed enough?" said Old Master Sheng.

Lanhua was completely speechless. What the old man just said was that the Sheng family was ashamed. She was a married woman and had already been given her husband's surname. She raised her head and glanced at the old man. Seeing that the old man's face was cold and hard, she felt weak in her heart and no longer dared to ask the doctor.

Lanhua was just anxiously pinching Cui's philtrum at this time. Maybe she pinched too hard, and Cui finally woke up. But her eyes were dull and she was mumbling something.

Is Cui stupid? Everyone in the room looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What should I do?" Lanhua was extremely anxious. She had no idea how to save Xiaojin and his father. Now Cui was in this state again. Lanhua was extremely worried.

"It's better for her to be stupid. It will save us a lot of trouble. Our family cannot do without her for a living." Old Master Sheng glanced at Cui and said.

Xu sat on the edge of the kang, first glanced at Old Man Sheng, then turned to look at Cui. If Cui was really stupid, she thought it might be a good thing...

Sheng Lanhua shook Cui for a long time, and seeing that Cui was still like this, she was completely panicked. At this time, she didn't care about anything else. She crawled and knelt in front of the old man, and tearfully asked the old man to think of a solution for her family's problems.

She really had no other choice now. She had made some friends in the town over the years, but after this incident, she went to ask for help, but everyone was helpless. At this time, she remembered her mother's home and Sheng Xuan's family.

Most of the people she knew were like her family, doing small business, or were small yamen runners. If you asked them for help with small matters, they might help, but when you really encountered problems, these people were obviously useless. Lanhua only knew Shengxuan's family who were truly famous, powerful, and had a say in the county government.

Sheng Xuan was a seventh-rank official, and although he was just a title, he actually received a salary from the court. Xiao Wen was a scholar, so he didn't have to kneel when he saw an official. Moreover, his family had a close relationship with the Shen family in the prefecture, and they also had dealings with powerful families. Although Xiao Wen was a scholar, he had more face than ordinary scholars or even juren masters in the entire county.

When she arrived at Shengjia Village and found out that Sheng Xuan and Xiao Wen were not at home and that they had no idea when they would return, her heart sank.

Shengxuan and Xiaowen were not there, but there was Zhang. If Zhang could send someone to the county government to plead for their family, the county government would probably buy her account, so she instigated Cui to go find Zhang to discuss the matter.

There was a reason why she didn't go to Zhang's house in person to ask for help. Xiaolan's family had always been very cold to her. How could she not feel resentful? Later, she instigated Cui's family several times, and Cui's family made the third family suffer losses...

If Cui hadn't had this trump card, she would have gone to Zhang to humble herself and apologize. But with Cui around, she saw that Cui seemed to have Zhang under control, so she was naturally happy to save trouble.

Sometimes she even thought that Zhang was really the kind of person who would rather drink than accept a toast. Whenever she tried to be nice to her, she was always rejected. If she were smart and could curry favor with her, she would also be happy to say good things about her in front of Cui, so that Cui would treat their family better and make their life smoother.

She even thought that if Cui got angry with Zhang after Xu called her over, she would persuade Cui and let Zhang thank her, and then slowly repair the relationship between the two families. But she had never expected that things would develop into what they are now.

"Dad, you know that prison is not a place for people to stay. Xiao Jin and the child's father are not in good health to begin with. If they are tortured again, they will be half dead. If they come out too late, they may die in there. Even if they come out alive, if their bodies are changed, my second half of life will be over..."

"Dad, Xiao Jin has only been married for a few days, and he hasn't left any children. Dad, even if you don't consider my face, you have to consider your grandson and your brother-in-law. Dad, please save their lives..." This time Lanhua really cried out loud.

Although Mr. Sheng was annoyed inside, he couldn't bear to refuse his eldest daughter now that she had come to him for help.

"Lanhua, tell your father the truth, did your family do anything that people reported you for?" asked Old Master Sheng.

"Dad, even if you don't believe me, you should believe the child's father. Don't you know what kind of person he is? His family has been running this grocery store for generations. When have they ever done something like this?"

Lanhua said this, and Mr. Sheng had no way to refute it, because Zhou Shuren was the husband he chose for Lanhua, and they both knew each other well.

"Your family didn't do anything, so why would they come to you?" Mr. Sheng asked again.

"Dad, how would I know this? This is truly a disaster sent from the sky..." Lanhua sobbed.

"Think carefully about what Xiao Jin's father has done these days. Has he offended someone? Or is someone trying to take over your family's business?" said Mr. Sheng.
