The Rise of a Farm Girl

The mayor was very excited. This time he would not be scolded by the county magistrate. Whenever something happened in the town, he would always be scolded. According to the informant in the village, this group was human traffickers.

The mayor was so happy that he didn't even feel the bumps in the carriage. In the past, when he came to the village, he would be dizzy from the jolting of the carriage.

This is really a happy occasion! The mayor soon arrived at Wangjia Village and learned about what happened and who caught so many human traffickers. He wanted to report to the county magistrate to reward these people.

When these people stood in front of the mayor, his three views were shattered. They sent so many people to catch these human traffickers, but some of them ran away when they met them.

But who could tell him that Zhang Zhenshan was the only adult among them, and the rest were still children. And Zhang Zhenshan looked quite old.

And there was a little girl of about six or seven years old. How did they catch these people? If the village chief hadn't come forward to testify that it was these people who caught them, he wouldn't have believed it at all.

As for this little girl, it’s no wonder that the human traffickers targeted her. She is so pretty, just like the virgin in heaven.

She was so white and clean that you could squeeze her face and water would come out. She blinked her big, watery eyes, which seemed to be able to speak. Everyone liked her, even the mayor liked her very much.

Moreover, this little girl is not afraid of people and speaks seriously like a little adult.

The mayor said with a smile, "Little girl, what's your name?" "Grandpa Mayor, my name is Wang Jingru." Wang Jingru clenched her fist and gestured, "Grandpa Mayor, I'm very powerful."

The mayor laughed and said, "Okay, Jingru is the best. Not only is she good, she also caught the bad guys."

Although Wang Jingru's soul is an adult, he is now a child and must pretend to be as innocent as a child. Otherwise, he is afraid that he will be burned to death as a monster.

The mayor happily brought all thirteen people back to the town and interrogated them again. Finally, they couldn't stand it anymore and told him where the little girl was imprisoned.

The mayor arrested the detained little girl and the remaining traffickers overnight and handed the case over to the county government.

Wang Jingyi returned home the next day. She had lost a lot of weight. The days passed one by one, and a week went by in a flash.

The town sent a message asking Wang Jingru and Zhang Zhenshan to go to the town to claim their rewards. The people went to the town again, and the mayor was very happy to see them. They did a great job and were praised by the county magistrate.

This time the county rewarded each person with ten taels of silver. This made them very happy, as ten taels of silver was the income of an ordinary family for several years.

The first thing Wang Jingru and her friends did when they came back was to hand in the money. And now the academy was just opening, so they had the money, bought pens, inkstones, and went to the academy in town to register. After they finished teaching Shu Xiu, the three brothers were in the academy. They didn't come back from school.

They come back once every two weeks or a month. Wang Jingru is the only one left at home, and she is bored every day. She goes running and practices martial arts every morning, after all, she was a special forces soldier in her previous life.

He was very familiar with exercise. He would exercise for a while every morning. But he was bored during the day without his three brothers to accompany him.

So he played with the children in the village. Although he was small, he was the leader of these children. Why?

Of course, he was rich. He had pocket money to buy a lot of maltose. He gave a small piece to each person. The children in the village followed him and called him "big brother".

Spring came in a flash, and every household had to plant crops. People in the old house naturally had to plant crops, too, and for those who were diligent, planting the land they were given could be completed in a few days.

But Wang Lao Da and Wang Lao Er were lazy people who didn't want to do any work. They could only rely on their wives to do a lot. They sent all the children in the family to work in the fields.

The Wang family is not so bad. The eldest son is almost 20 years old this year, and the second son is also old enough to get married. Only the third son is younger, only 7 years old. In addition, there is Wang Jingyi's -year-old child.

But in other families, the child can already work in the fields at the age of ten and is a good hand at home. This child is spoiled by Wang Lao Da and Wang Lao Er.

The eldest child of Wang Laoer's family is also 11 years old, so they have to work in the fields this time. The children have been spoiled since they were young, and they can't bear to work.

But if they don't work, Wang Lao Da and Wang Lao Er will beat their children! So they can only work in the fields. Who wants Wang Lao Da and Wang Lao Er to be lazy?

Old man Wang only had one acre of land, and he had been working on the field long ago, carrying his hoe. He had almost finished the work on the one acre of land.

The two acres of land in the backyard of Wang Jingru's house had long been cultivated by her parents. Dad wanted to go out to find a job, but was stopped by her mother, saying that her legs were not suitable for heavy physical work.

Wang Laosan is busy at home and outside? Yu Wenjiao takes embroidery work to support the family.

But the Wang family had many children and little land, and the eldest son did not go out to find work. The grain they harvested was not enough for the family to have porridge.

Every day these children were starving, and when they were hungry they started to do bad things. At first they were petty thefts, and the children from the first wife and the children from the second wife would steal things together.

At the beginning, this family threw two pancakes, that family threw a bowl of vegetables, this family threw eggs, and that family threw duck eggs.

As time went on, everyone started to scold whoever lost something. But as time went on, these kids got bolder and bolder. From stealing eggs to stealing chickens, it only took a month to transition.

The village was in turmoil every day. A chicken was lost in one house, a duck was lost in another. Even the dog was not spared. The children of Lao Wang's family were fat and chubby.

In fact, Wang Jingru knew what they were doing, because she saw them several times on the mountain, making fire and roasting chicken.

But he didn't intend to tell it, because even if he told it, no one would believe it, and would say he was talking nonsense. He didn't want to get into trouble without getting the chance to eat the mutton.

But after a while, they will be discovered by others. Just today, they were caught by the patriarch's family. They went to the patriarch's house to steal chickens.

The children of the clan leader were all martial artists who got up early every day. They were catching chickens in the chicken coop when they were caught by those boys.

It didn't matter that he was caught, but it immediately caused public outrage. A lot of things have been lost in the village recently. Which family hasn't lost something? There are only dozens of families in this village.

All of the five brothers had stolen everything. No family in the village had not had things stolen, except Wang Laosan's. Because Wang Jingru and her brothers all learned martial arts, they were afraid that they would seek revenge on him later.

They stole things today because they had nothing to steal, so they had no choice but to go to the clan leader's house to steal things. All the villagers gathered at the old house and asked Wang Lao Da and Wang Lao Er to compensate for the things.

But these two lazy guys had nothing to give to the villagers. Seeing that he was cheating, the villagers planned to use their houses and land as collateral, but Wang Lao Da and Wang Lao Er disagreed.

But he had no say in whether to agree or not, now the clan leader, clan elders, and village chief had all come forward.

The final solution was to push those children out and let them work for each family to pay off the debt.

Each family only has two mu of land. If they give it to the villagers, will they starve to death? They will not even have rice soup to drink?

But how could these children just work obediently? They were hungry, very hungry. There was no food at home, and they had to work for the villagers, but the villagers didn't give them any food.

There are five children, big and small! The little ones are eating themselves out. I am not just saying this. They really eat a lot! No matter how much food is available, it is not enough for them to eat.

The five children became skinny in just one month, because everyone in the village knew they were stealing, and every household was on high alert. The villagers never let them succeed again.

If they couldn't steal in their own village, they would go to other villages to steal. So they stole in other villages for a while. The girl from another village who married into this village would go back to her parents' home and tell them that there were a few thieves in their village. Once the news spread, it spread.

Soon, the story of these children spread to other villages. Every household in other villages also took precautions. These children thought of stealing money.

Now that every family has entered summer, the windows are open, and everyone has to go to the fields to work, leaving no one at home. Even if there are elderly people and children left at home, they have to go to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables and collect some dry firewood.

This created convenient conditions for these children. Many villagers reported that their money was lost and found the village chief, who had to gather the villagers and start to punish these children.

But they were already used to stealing and could not move any more. They had experienced the fun of stealing. The village chief had no choice but to report to the town. When the town chief heard about this, he immediately sent someone to arrest these children.

Not only were they arrested but they were also beaten with a stick. The mayor thought that if the younger ones could be persuaded, he would try his best, because they could not be locked up for life. They had not committed any serious crime and could not be sentenced to death. And they could not be allowed to harm the villagers all the time!

The older one must be severely punished, as he is already over 20 years old. The younger one is not young either. So the two were locked up in a cell. They were sentenced to five years. The two younger ones were locked up for two months, beaten with a stick, and then released.

Old Mrs. Wang was getting old, because these days she was thinking about what she had done, she shouldn't have kicked out the third child. In the past, the family could still survive with the third child. Now look at the eldest and second children, who were spoiled by him and became lazy and greedy.

The fourth son stayed in town and never came back, so the few grandchildren he had were all spoiled. His own daughter was of marriageable age, but no one came to propose marriage.

I have spoiled this girl. She doesn't know the sufferings of the world, nor the dangers of the world. She doesn't know how to respect the old and love the young. She is so arrogant and unreasonable, it will be difficult for her to marry into any family.

It was too late for Old Man Wang and Old Lady Wang to regret. Look at the third brother's family, how well they are doing now. What made him most happy was that his two children were sent to school.

In this way, the Wang family can be considered to have two educated people. If they can pass the imperial examinations in the future, it will also bring honor to the Wang family.

I used to dislike the third daughter-in-law and Erya, but now I see that the third daughter-in-law can embroider. In the past, the third daughter-in-law had never embroidered a handkerchief. I also blame myself for making the third daughter-in-law work from dawn to dusk every day.

How could she have the time to embroider? She could do anything by herself. Look at Wang Laosan's wife, now her face has become plump and her complexion has improved.

He was no longer as skinny and pale as before. He used to look down on his third son's wife, but now she was the best off. He always thought that no one in the village was worthy of his fourth son, but now his son's reputation was ruined and he didn't even have a wife.

Now he was extremely regretful, and he also regretted why he had separated them in a fit of anger. The old couple didn't have enough to eat, so Wang Dan naturally didn't have enough to eat either. He was fat to begin with, and the lack of food made him hungry, and now he has really lost a lot of weight.

Seeing that she was getting slimmer and thinner day by day and not as dark as before, Old Lady Wang asked a matchmaker to introduce her to a wealthy family.

It's not easy to find a husband for a boy with a bad reputation, but a girl with a bad reputation can still get married. In two days, the matchmaker came to the door. Mrs. Wang had no choice now. If the girl didn't get married, she would starve to death.

The matter was quickly settled, the two families met, and then the betrothal gifts were exchanged. Within a month, Wang Dan was married off. Despite the difficulties, Old Lady Wang did not keep the five taels of betrothal gifts. She took them all back.

The Wang family is now very quiet. Those who are married are married, those who are in prison are in prison. There are only a few adults left, Wang Lao Da and Wang Lao Er, if they don't go out to work, they will starve to death at home.

Then he went to the town to find a job. He had not received much education, so he could only do some manual labor. He unloaded goods at the dock, earning a dozen coins a day, which was enough to support his family and prevent them from starving to death.

Wang Jingru still eats, drinks and plays every day, because he has no shortage of food and has stored a lot of food in his own space. The three brothers study very hard and do well in their studies.

A year passed in a flash, and Xuanyuan Lei recognized Wang Laosan and his wife as his godfather and godmother. Moreover, the three of them passed the examination to become Tongsheng students together.

The next step was to take the examination for the scholar, and the villagers were suddenly excited. Three people in the family were studying, and all three passed the examination at the same time. What a lucky thing it was.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and four years have passed in a flash. Wang Jingru has grown into a big girl. Now Wang Jingru is 12 years old, and she is becoming more and more beautiful.

The three elder brothers had already become scholars, and Xuanyuan Lei was picked up by his grandfather. When Xuanyuan Lei left, he told his two younger brothers, "I'll wait for you in the capital."

Originally, he wanted to take Wang Jingru away, but Wang Jingru didn't want to go. Xuanyuan Lei treated this sister as his eye.

He was very reluctant to leave, and was afraid that others would bully him and that he would get hurt. In fact, he was overthinking. As Wang Jingru grew older, she became stronger and better at martial arts.

Xuanyuan Lei couldn't beat her, and she always held back every time they fought. Wang Jingru was not afraid of anyone now, but was afraid that no one would fight with her. It would only take a few minutes to beat anyone she wanted.
