The Rise of a Farm Girl

Old Lady Wang and her son discussed the arrangements for the next morning and went to bed early. The next morning, Old Lady Wang was especially nice to Wang Jingru and even gave her an egg.

After dinner, Wang Jingru and her brothers were about to go up the mountain with their backpacks on their backs, but were stopped by Old Lady Wang.

Erya, you should go to town with grandma today, instead of going to the mountain. Grandma will take you to buy new clothes today, and buy one for each of your two brothers.

Wang Jingru didn't react much, after all, her two brothers had already told her that her fourth uncle and grandparents were planning to sell him to the county. Sell him to the county to be a plaything for Mr. Liu.

Wang Jingru had already told her two brothers to go to the town to find her early tomorrow morning.

But his two brothers were worried and stopped him from going, so Wang Jingru used her trump card: her magic weapon.

"Brothers, don't worry. I have the old man with white beard to help me." He told his two brothers at that time, but they didn't believe him.

Wang Jingru gave the two brothers a trick, disappearing on the spot and then reappearing, and the two brothers were relieved.

So when Old Lady Wang called her sister, the two of them pretended nothing had happened and went up the mountain with their backpacks on their backs.

Wang Jingru stayed, but Wang Jingyi refused to do it. She pulled Old Lady Wang's hand, crying and rolling on the ground, insisting on going to the town with them.

Not only Wang Jingyi is going, but also Mrs. Wang’s youngest grandson, Wang Youjun, is going.

In the end, it was Old Man Wang who spoke up and said, "Take them all away!"

Old man Wang had a good plan, and Old Lady Wang knew it very well. The couple had a very good understanding after so many years.

When Old Man Wang said to take them all, Old Lady Wang understood. That meant that there were several children to take care of, but only Wang Jingru was lost. It was understandable, and it was not the adults' fault, but the children's fault for wandering around.

After everything was packed, Mrs. Wang and Mr. Wang led the three children to the town. On the way, they met many villagers, who greeted them and said they were going to buy clothes for the children.

This is to tell everyone that he bought clothes for the child with good intentions. If the child is missing when he comes back later, no one can blame them.

Wang Jingru looked at her fourth uncle and grandmother, who were performing as if it were real. Of course it was real because they could buy clothes for the two children, but not for her.

She's going to be sold soon, isn't it a waste to buy clothes for her?

When they arrived in the town, Teacher Wang wanted to sell Wang Jingru directly, but how could Wang Jingru do as they wished?

She rolled on the ground crying and wailing, just wanting to buy clothes. Teacher Wang was afraid that Wang Jingru would run away, so she had to take them to the clothing store to buy some clothes. Wang Jingru changed into them right away in the clothing store.

But Mrs. Wang was very distressed. She thought she had coaxed him into buying the clothes. She took them home and gave them to her eldest granddaughter.

I bought some bigger clothes for this purpose, otherwise my granddaughter wouldn't be able to wear them. And Wang Jingru didn't say the clothes were too big, because it was impossible to wear good clothes before the family split up. After the family split up, it would take at least half a year.

So Wang Jingru didn't think the clothes were too big and rolled up her sleeves. After trying them on, Wang Jingru felt that she could still wear them in a few months.

Because he was eating well, he was growing fast. Wang Jingru changed her clothes again, and asked the store for a rag. She wrapped it up and carried it on her back.

He was afraid that Old Lady Wang would sell her, so he gave the clothes to Wang Jingyi when he returned. So he took them all by himself, and Wang Jingru said that she was hungry and couldn't walk anymore.

Wang Lao Si was so angry that his veins popped out, and he clenched his fists tightly. He really wanted to beat him up and make him pay or give him a beating, but he couldn't, because he had to rely on him to make money!

But the housekeeper only gave him a deposit of five taels of silver, and he still had 45 taels to go!

So now I could only coax her. I had no choice but to grit my teeth and run to the wonton noodle shop and order four bowls of wontons.

Old Lady Wang and Old Fourth Wang each had a bowl. One bowl was given to Wang Jingru, and the other bowl was eaten by Wang Jingyi and Wang Youjun.

Wang Jingyi was just about to lose her temper with Wang Laosi and said angrily, "If you don't want to eat, go outside and stand."

Only then did Wang Jingyi obediently eat a bowl of wontons with Wang Youjun.

But Wang Jingyi was very busy. She asked Grandma Wang, "Grandma, why can my younger sister eat one bowl, but my brother and I have to eat one bowl?"

Old Lady Wang had no time to coax her. She said angrily, "How can a little girl like you have so many problems?"

Wang Jingru said, "Because I eat more than you, I can finish a bowl by myself, but you can't. If you can't finish it, it will be wasted, understand?"

Wang Jingyi can only eat quickly, because whoever eats faster can eat more. After all, Wang Jingyi is one year older than Wang Youjun, and he is smarter than Wang Youjun, so she eats faster than Wang Youjun.

Wang Jingru took a large bowl and ate it all, leaving nothing behind. This was seen by Old Lady Wang and Old Fourth Wang. In fact, Wang Jingru couldn't finish it all, so she put it into the space.

Last time he went to town to buy something, he bought a few bowls and basins and put them in the corner of the space.

Wang Jingru ate half of a large bowl of wontons and left the other half in the space.

After they had eaten and drunk well, Old Lady Wang started to make a fuss and took Wang Jingyi and Wang Youjun to the drugstore. She wanted to get some medicine for herself. In fact, she was taking the two children to avoid the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion.

Wang Jingru did not stop him and followed Wang Laosi out of the wonton noodle shop and came to the teahouse across the street. She asked for a single room at the teahouse and waited for Mr. Liu's housekeeper to come.

After a while, Mr. Liu's butler came to the door and brought two servants with him.

After talking for a while, the butler handed Wang Laosi nine silver ingots, each weighing five taels.

Then he walked in front of Wang Jingru. What was the little girl's name? Wang Jingru didn't say anything, but before he could say anything, he covered her mouth with a handkerchief and Wang Jingru lost consciousness. She fainted.

When Wang Jingru woke up again, she was lying in a room that was not locked, because he thought that a six-year-old girl could run away from their secure house.

Wang Jingru got off the bed and looked at the antique room. It must be a courtyard where some concubine lived. Wang Jingru looked around and found that no one was guarding it, which gave him an opportunity.

Wang Jingru avoided people, secretly walked out of the room, walked around, and came to the storeroom where gold, silver and jewelry were stored. Wang Jingru was small.

It seems that being thin is not without its advantages. Isn't this advantage coming? Wang Jingru was also thinking. Mr. Liu might be too confident. All his money is placed here. And it is only locked with a padlock, and there is not even a guard.

Wang Jingru was a special forces soldier in her previous life, so she could easily do such a simple task as unlocking a lock, especially one from an ancient era that did not require high technical skills.

Wang Jingru used the hairpin she found in the room where she woke up to unlock the lock in no time. After opening it, Wang Jingru's eyes were blinded by the sight of many treasures, most notably gold and silver, which were in large quantities, as well as a lot of banknotes.

Pearls, agates, jades, boxes of gold and silver jewelry made Wang Jingru very happy.

Even though she was a special forces soldier in her previous life and had seen many rare treasures while on missions, she was still shocked.

No matter what, this is all Mr. Liu’s ill-gotten gains, so he should just take it all without any hesitation!

Wang Jingru waved her hand, and all the boxes within her reach entered the space. When Wang Jingru finished searching the place and was about to leave, she was tripped by a raised floor tile and fell heavily.

The fall was quite severe and her hands were covered in blood. Wang Jingru stood up and kicked the bulge twice hard.

She felt relieved after kicking, but when she lifted her foot, she found that the floor tiles were moving.

The floor tile in front of her slowly opened to both sides. This made Wang Jingru very happy, and she also had an unexpected gain.

The floor tiles were exposed, leading all the way to the stone steps below. Wang Jingru walked down the steps.

When we got downstairs, we saw that it was very big. This basement was made entirely of stones. The entire secret room was filled with large boxes, and all the boxes were locked with big locks.

Wang Jingru opened them with a hairpin. The boxes were full of gold and silver ingots. They were neatly arranged, which made Wang Jingru very happy. She didn't care where these things came from and put them all into the space.

After collecting the things, Wang Jingru left the warehouse. She wanted to see Mr. Liu's residence and study, as well as his wife's room, and she planned to search them all.

But her space was limited, it was just that big, and even after putting away the warehouse and the underground secret room, the box fell very high, and when he saw the height of the box, he was a little scared, afraid that it would fall and hit him, and he would have no place to stand.

There was only a bowl-sized area left, which was still filled with spiritual spring water. The rest of the area was filled with various boxes.

But what he didn't know was that as soon as he left the space, the space shook rapidly, and a smaller jade plate flew out of a box. Then, a red light flashed, and the jade pendant and the space merged.

If Wang Jingru saw this jade tablet, she would definitely recognize it. It is a pair with the jade tablet she picked up.

Then the space expanded to the size of two acres, and there was more spiritual spring water, enough to form a small pool of spiritual spring water as big as a washbasin.

Wang Jingru thought, since the space can't hold it, it's better to destroy it. They planned to burn down Liu's house. Don't think about it. It's not easy to come to the county town, so you can't come in vain.

This Mr. Liu killed many girls. He was old, but he did all kinds of unscrupulous things.

Let him buy a girl, let him have no money, see what he will buy. Let him become a pauper overnight.

It was already late at night. The light in Mr. Liu's study was still on. He was reading a letter. Wang Jingru was far away.

He couldn't see clearly, he could only see clearly, and Mr. Liu read the letter again. This was still done by using saliva to poke a hole in the window paper.

Wang Jingru was just about to hide in a deserted place, planning to wait for Officer Liu to go out, and then she would sneak in.

But before she left, Mr. Liu took down the painting hanging on the wall.

Wang Jingru saw a groove appear on the wall. Liu Yuanwai pressed into the groove, and the floor tiles on the ground slowly moved.

Wang Jingru's eyes were as big as bells, and she stood there in a daze with an incredible expression.

The ancient people really knew how to have fun. They set up mechanisms and secret rooms everywhere.

If Wang Jingru hadn't seen Liu Yuanwai take down the painting, she wouldn't have been able to find the groove inside, let alone an outsider. Wang Jingru was glad that she left slowly and watched the whole process.

Wang Jingru was extremely anxious, but her space was no longer able to hold anything. When she used her spiritual sense to explore the space to see if there was any extra space for the box, she was surprised to find that the space was several times larger.

All the boxes he collected were piled up in a corner on the west side, and Wang Jingru was so happy that she almost jumped up. It was because Wang Jingru was an adult at heart, otherwise she would have shouted loudly outside and been discovered by Mr. Liu.

The space was expanded, and she could put as many things as she wanted. So Wang Jingru wanted to take away all the things in Liu's house.

When Wang Jingru saw Mr. Liu go in, she became bolder, gently opened the door of the room and walked in quietly.

But the sound was still discovered by the vigilant Mr. Liu, who soon walked out of the secret room and shouted loudly, "Who is it? Come out!"

At this time, Wang Jingru had already entered the space. When Liu Yuanwai came out, he saw nothing. At this time, a cat happened to meow by the window.

Only then did Mr. Liu feel relieved and cursed, saying that he turned out to be such a beast.

Then the door of the secret room was closed. Wang Jingru was in the space at this time. Her heart was pounding with fear. Wang Jingru patted her heart and said to herself, "It's going to kill me."

Mr. Liu hung the calligraphy and paintings back on the wall in the study. Everything was restored to its original state. He was planning to read for a while in the study, but then his family came to report that his wife was looking for him.

As a last resort, Mr. Liu turned off the lights and left the study. He turned back and locked the door with two large padlocks. Wang Jingru waited for a while before coming out of the space.

But what she didn't expect was that Mr. Liu was a suspicious person. If he left and came back, only Wang Jingru had the space to hide. If an ordinary person was released, even someone who was good at Qinggong would be hard to defend against.

Wang Jingru quickly slipped into the space. Mr. Liu lit the light again and saw that there was nothing in the room. He checked again before locking the door and leaving.

Wang Jingru did not leave the space this time, because she was afraid that Mr. Liu would come back again. Wang Jingru was right. Mr. Liu came back again, but she did not find anyone coming in or touching anything. This time, he really went to the lady's place.

Wang Jingru said to herself in the space, "How careful you are. What secrets are hidden in the secret room of this study?" She was so cautious.

Then it was Wang Jingru's personal performance time. Wang Jingru did not take the calligraphy and painting off, but directly put her hand into the groove and pressed it down.

The secret room gradually opened, and Wang Jingru had no time to look at it, for fear that Mr. Liu would return again.

Then he went in and began to collect things frantically. He collected everything that could be put into the secret room. Wang Jingru did see a small box. He locked it with a delicate little lock.

Wang Jingru guessed that the small box must contain those letters. She didn't have time to read them at this time, so she put everything away, quietly left the secret room, and put everything back to its original state. There were nothing but books in the study.

But in that era, books were very precious, and one book was enough for a poor family to earn half a year's hard-earned money.
