Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

  Chapter 150 150. A store

  The county magistrate patted the gavel to silence the noisy hall, "Come here."

   Catch your head and cup your fists, "My lord."

  The county magistrate ordered, "Go and summon the wife of the head of Hejia Village."

  A woman in the crowd raised her hand and replied, "My lord, I am here."

  The crowd made way for the woman to enter the hall.

  The woman knelt down, "Minister Zhang Juan, I have met you."

  The county magistrate asked, "Where is the dress you bought for the woman?"

Zhang Juan said, "My lord, the skirt I bought was for my daughter's birthday. It rained heavily a few days ago and the skirt got wet. My daughter took it out to dry, but it disappeared when I collected the clothes in the afternoon. My daughter was crying." It's been a long time."

  She looked at the peasant woman with angry eyes, "I didn't expect her to steal it."

  The peasant woman was regretting that she had told the truth uncontrollably, with her head buried and her body trembling slightly.

  The county magistrate asked, "What about the needle she mentioned?"

"That needle..." Zhang Juan faltered, "When I was picking out a skirt in the store, I saw a needle fall on the ground, picked it up and took it away, and when I got home I put it on the table. If there is a flower on the skirt, I will give it to her."

   So that's what happened!

  The magistrate's eyes fell on He Da and He Er, "Do you know what your mother did?"

  The two answered together, "I know."

  The gavel fell, and there was a bang, and the hall was silent.

Just as the county magistrate was opening his mouth, an old man in his fifties broke into the door. As soon as he entered the hall, he knelt down and pleaded, "My lord, my mother-in-law and two sons are obsessed with ghosts. They have problems with their brains. They didn't do it on purpose. Please forgive me, my lord!"

  The county magistrate was unmoved, and continued to announce the decree, "This matter, Wang is the mastermind, deliberately hurting people and defrauding people of money. This trend cannot last long. Therefore, the county magistrate sentenced Wang to five years in prison and fined him ten taels of silver."

  When Mrs. Wang heard the verdict, she panicked, cried bitterly, and begged for mercy, "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, please forgive me! I won't dare anymore, I won't dare anymore, don't go to jail, I don't want to go to jail!"

  The county magistrate ignored her directly, and continued to issue the sentence, "He Da and He Er are accomplices, helping the tyrant to abuse. This county sentences you two to three years in prison and a fine of five taels of silver."

  He Da and He Er were ashamed, and they were desperate, and they begged for mercy, but the county magistrate didn't listen to them at all.

  People have to pay for what they do, everyone is the same!

   "Let them sign and detain them, and put them in prison."

   "Yes, my lord."

  The old man watched the three of them being imprisoned, leaving behind a silly daughter. He couldn't help crying for a moment. He knew that he should have stopped it, but it was too late now.

  The county magistrate said, "Arrest the head, and send someone to follow the old man to the house to collect money!"

   Catch your head and cup your fists, "Yes, my lord."

   "Retire!"

  After the trial of the case, the people dispersed one by one, and soon the case spread all over the county. When it was said, everyone couldn't believe it.

   One after another scolded the peasant women for their conscienceless, femme fatale!

   They all sympathized with that girl again. It was such a shame to be born in such a family.

  Here, Chu Qingzhi, Tang Jinghong and the others walked towards the shop in silence. Wang's actions are too vicious, and they need to slow down.

  Zhan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang walked to Chu Qingzhi's side, Zhan Hongjun said, "Master, where is your home, let's go back quickly?"

  Bao Linjiang quickly echoed, "Yes, Master, I've been looking forward to the journey."

   "I'll be back right away." Chu Qingzhi then introduced everyone to each other, first getting to know each other.

The two teenagers hurriedly called Chu Qingyue Second Sister. They should have called Master Aunt, but it was too awkward. Anyway, in the village, they don’t need to be so particular. Care about these vain things.

  Chu Qingyue is naturally happy, who doesn't like such a smart and clever boy.

  When they came to the store, everyone found that Sang Wanlu was coming, getting off the carriage, her movements and expressions were very anxious.

  Sang Wanlu's maid hurriedly supported her, with a frightened expression on her face, "Madam, be careful, don't affect the fetal gas."

  Chu Qingyue stepped forward quickly, "Wanlu, you are heavy, why are you here?"

  Sang Wanlu worried, "I heard that something happened to the store, so I came to take a look."

  Chu Qingyue smiled at her, "The trial of the case is over, the bad guys have been punished, it's all right."

   "That's good." Sang Wanlu heaved a sigh of relief, her eyes skipped everyone, and landed on Chu Qingzhi, her eyes sparkled, "Qingzhi..."

  Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, "Congratulations."

  Sang Wanlu bowed to Chu Qingzhi, and said gratefully, "Qingzhi, it's lucky to meet you, otherwise I wouldn't have such a blessing."

   "I'm a doctor, I should." Chu Qingzhi blessed, "I wish you a lovely and healthy baby."

  Sang Wanlu smiled and nodded, "Thank you."

  The eldest servant girl stepped forward and said, "Miss Chu, can you prescribe an anti-pregnancy prescription for Madam? Madam has not asked anyone to prescribe it until now, and she doesn't trust other doctors."

  Chu Qingzhi nodded, "Okay." She walked towards the shop, where there were papers and pens, and Zhan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang hurriedly followed.

  After the prescription was written, Zhan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang hurriedly picked up the prescription and looked at it, a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked Chu Qingzhi for advice.

  Chu Qingzhi still doted on the two little apprentices, and explained them one by one.

   "So that's it, I've learned a lot!"

   "Learning is boundless!"

  Chu Qingzhi laughed, went out and handed the prescription to Sang Wanlu, "Three bowls of water boiled into one bowl, once a day, if you walk more, there will be no problem."

   "Yes." Sang Wanlu happily agreed, and then her expression gradually became serious, "Qingzhi, I want to discuss something with you."

  Chu Qingzhi said, "Say it."

  Sang Wanlu looked at the shop, "I'm pregnant and it's inconvenient to take care of these shops, so I want to give the shop to Qingyue."

  Chu Qingzhi looked at Sang Wanlu, "What do you mean?"

  Sang Wanlu smiled and said, "I rented the shop, and the rent has been paid for half a year. The shop assistants are hired and paid every month. There is still some cloth in stock in the shop, and now they are all handed over to Qingyue."

  Chu Qingzhi asked, "Then how much will we pay you?"

  Sang Wanlu shook her head, "No need, treat the money as your doctor's money. It's much more expensive for me to conceive a child. You don't have to be polite to me, I've already made up my mind."

  Chu Qingzhi thought about it, what Sang Wanlu said just now would not exceed three hundred taels of silver, which is acceptable, "Then I will thank you on behalf of Second Sister."

   "Why are you being polite to me?" Sang Wanlu waved to Chu Qingyue, "Qingyue, let's go to the shop to hand over, and I won't come to the shop tomorrow."

  Chu Qingyue was dizzy from being hit by the pie, it was too unreal, "Really, really give me the shop?"

  Chu Qingzhi came over and tugged on Chu Qingyue's sleeve, "Second Sister, I really give it to you. You go to hand over the store, and the store will be yours from now on."

  Chu Qingyue was still dizzy, and her reaction was also slow, "Oh, good."

   Ning Yuting suddenly said, "Miss Qingzhi, I'll help Qingyue do it, you go home first, Grandma and Aunt Chu want to cry when they miss you."

   Want to cry? Chu Qingzhi smiled, "Okay, then I'll leave the rest to you, I'll go back first."

   "Don't worry, it will be done."

  The four got on their horses and went home.
