Chapter 314

"Naturally, it doesn't matter if you are unwilling to come forward to testify against the Zhao Family." Jiang Xiaoxiao said slowly, "By then, we will be thrown into prison by the Zhao Family. Not only will the Zhao Family not spare you, but the poison on your body will also have no antidote."

"No, no, no, I am willing to come forward to testify against the Zhao Family!" Wu Sanshen said hurriedly.

She was now at the end of her rope. Except for relying on the Jiang family, there was no other way.

Anyway, stretching the head was a knife, and shrinking the head was also a knife. It was better to hope that the Jiang family could completely solve the Zhao Family, then she would have a chance to survive.

After sending Wu Sanshen away, Jiang Xiaoxiao returned to her position and continued to draw the honeycomb coal mold drawing.

Her handwriting was crooked, but this drawing was indeed drawn well.

Jiang Wei watched from the side, grinding ink with her hand, and said in a calm voice: "I didn't expect my daughter to be so amazing, turning the hard nut Wu Sanshen around in just a few words."

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly twice and hurriedly changed the subject: "Mother, look at this honeycomb coal mold drawing I drew, are there any places that need modification?"

Jiang Wei took a look and said slowly: "It's drawn well, just let it be made according to the style you drew."

"Okay."

Seeing that her mother didn't continue the previous topic, Jiang Xiaoxiao happily placed the Xuan paper with the honeycomb coal mold drawing on the side to dry, and then looked at the honeycomb coal formula written by her mother, which needed coal powder, yellow mud, water, lime...

Her family had ready-made things for these.

But the specific ratio still needed to be adjusted according to the honeycomb coal made.

She then said: "Mother, we still have some lime left from making cement last time. Why don't we make some raw materials to test it now."

"Not in a hurry." Jiang Wei shook her head, "Solve the Zhao Family matter first."

"Oh, alright then."

It was indeed the Zhao Family matter that was more urgent.

Jiang Xiaoxiao could only suppress the urgency in her heart.

Jiang Wei picked up the honeycomb coal mold drawing on the table and said: "But I can go to the town first and find someone to make a batch of molds."

Making honeycomb coal molds was best done with iron; blacksmithing took quite a bit of time, so pre-fabrication was necessary.

Thus, Jiang Wei took advantage of the early time and took the drawing to the blacksmith shop in the town.

However, she didn't expect that as soon as she left the house, she met people from the village on the road, all of whom had surprised expressions.

"Xiaoxiao's mother, didn't you go to Xuzhou? Why are you still in the village?"

Jiang Wei said: "Something happened during the period, I came back to solve it."

"What matter, can it be more important than your family's business?" The villagers asked incessantly.

"Alright, alright, do you all have no work to do?" The Lizheng came out to smooth things over, "Xiaoxiao's mother is busy, don't delay her, hurry up and disperse, go do your own work."

Jiang Wei cast a grateful look at the Lizheng.

She was used to being alone and really didn't know how to deal with these curious villagers.

The Lizheng scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Xiaoxiao's mother, I am the one who should thank you properly. With the medicine you prescribed, San Niang's illness is almost cured. Now she can not only get out of bed and walk, but she is also much more energetic than before. Today she even helped with housework."

This was simply a miracle he had never seen before. San Niang's illness couldn't even be cured by the doctors in the city, who all said to go back and prepare for the funeral. Xiaoxiao's mother came, and it was instantly cured; she was simply a divine physician reborn!

Jiang Wei nodded slightly: "That's good. Let her not work hard, rest well, and wait until the illness is completely healed before doing other things. Don't stop the decoction either; take it for half a month, only then can the root of the illness be completely cut off."

"Mm, good, good, I'll tell her when I go back." The Lizheng nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Saying goodbye to the Lizheng, Jiang Wei continued to the town.

After Jiang Wei left, only Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jiang Xuelian were left at home.

In the courtyard, Jiang Xuelian watched Jiang Xiaoxiao sitting at the table practicing calligraphy with ease, and couldn't help but curiously lean over to watch.

Jiang Xiaoxiao then said: "Are you literate?"

Jiang Xuelian hurriedly shook her head: "I'm not literate, but I like watching you write."

The family was poor, and she was a girl; where would she have the opportunity to study and become literate?

Jiang Xiaoxiao then smiled: "I'll teach you to read when I have time in the future."

Jiang Xuelian was her own family; in the future, she would inevitably have to help manage the family's account books and property, so literacy was necessary.

"Really?!"

Jiang Xuelian didn't have time to be happy before the courtyard gate was knocked on.

"It should be Chunya." Jiang Xiaoxiao put down the writing brush.

Jiang Xuelian hurriedly went to open the door.

In the past few days, Chunya came to the Jiang family's backyard every day to feed chickens and rabbits, and also helped clean up, so the two gradually became familiar with each other.

She also quite liked this diligent little girl.

Chunya had a sweet mouth; every time she saw her, she called her "Sister Xuelian" and pulled her to tell her some interesting things about Xuzhou.

The little girl hadn't been anywhere else except Yong'an Town and was very curious about the outside world.

Chunya's arrival every day became one of the things she looked forward to most.

However, when the door opened, the person standing outside was not the little girl Chunya.

But two old people.

Old Man Li looked at the strange girl in front of him and suspected for a moment if he had gone to the wrong door.

But looking back, at the foot of the mountain at the end of the village, there was only one Jiang family, so how could he go to the wrong door?

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Jiang Xuelian frowned at the old couple who were looking around.

"Where did this little girl come from? Actually asking who I am!" Old Woman Li sized up Jiang Xuelian twice, instantly understood her identity, and immediately put her hands on her hips and cursed, "Good for you, Jiang Shi, you have money to buy a maid to serve you, but you don't ask about us old couple, letting us starve to death in a broken temple, you are simply a dog thing that has lost its conscience!"

After saying this, she pushed Jiang Xuelian, wanting to force her way into the courtyard: "Get out of the way, I am Jiang Shi's mother-in-law, hurry up and let me in!"

Jiang Xuelian heard her opening her mouth with filthy language to insult Jiang Wei, frowned, and reached out to block the person outside.

"I don't know you, get out! This is the Jiang house, not a place for you to act wildly."

"You dead little girl, a mere lowly slave maid, actually daring to block me, do you not want your life anymore!"

The current Old Woman Li had the Zhao Family supporting her, her back was straight, and her momentum in scolding people was even greater than before.

"Hurry up and let me go! I am here under the order of the County Magistrate to invite that bitch Jiang Shi to the county government office. If the time is delayed, a small slave like you can't afford the responsibility!"

Hearing this, Jiang Xuelian's brows sank, and she didn't speak. No matter how Old Woman Li pushed or hit her after rushing up, she didn't retreat even half a step.

Her body was like a wall, tightly blocking the gate.

Old Woman Li was about to be angered to madness. The Zhao Family was waiting in the public hall. If they didn't get Jiang Shi to the Qingping County government office, how could they perform this play?
