Chapter 297
297 Mission Half Completed
Old Madam Wang’s goal in looking for Zhang Zhan was very simple. She wanted Zhang Zhan to protect Ah Yu.
As for the rest of the Wang Family, with her watching over them, nothing would happen.
Nothing would get his attention more than bringing up old matters.
There was only one thing in his life that he did not even dare to think about.
However, for some reason, he had returned to show his gratitude to this place.
Perhaps he had been hit on the head by a ghost.
He had known before that Yongding County was far inferior to other counties.
Although he had real power, one can’t make bricks without straw.
When he heard Old Madam Wang mention the cloth, he recalled his tragic experiences after fainting and waking up.
Zhang Zhan felt extremely awkward and instantly felt his scalp tingle. However, when he saw Old Madam Wang’s oblivious gaze, he suspected that he was thinking too much.
This old lady from the Wang Family was an intelligent person. She probably wouldn’t deliberately watch him make a fool of himself.
Therefore, she should be simply mentioning the past.
After that, the two of them chatted for more than two hours. It was only when Zhang Zhan’s stomach growled that Old Madam Wang stood up.
“Then I’ll leave this matter to Lord County Magistrate. If you need anything in the future, feel free to instruct me,” Old Madam Wang said.
Zhang Zhan hurriedly said, “Old Madam, don’t address me as Lord County Magistrate. You can call me Zhang Zhan in the future, or just call me by my nickname Shouzhi.”
Old Madam Wang said, “Alright, then I’ll thicken my face and call you Shouzhi.”
Zhang Zhan nodded and said, “Old Madam, you must have come in a hurry and haven’t eaten, right? The debt of grace requires the payment of gratitude. Shall we eat at the county office before leaving?”
It was already afternoon, and there was still an hour before dinner. It was not too early to eat.
As he spoke, he called the servant over, wanting him to prepare two more dishes.
“There’s no need,” Old Madam Wang said. “There’s still someone waiting for me. I’m worried and want to take a look.”
Zhang Zhan tried twice more to persuade her to stay. Seeing that Old Madam Wang’s attitude was firm, he gave up.
Old Madam Wang walked through the back door and was a little surprised to see Wang Dalang waiting for her.
Wang Dalang was originally standing outside, but he was pulled over by the gatekeeper and they chatted for a long time.
He stammered and did not dare to say much about his family. He only brushed the party’s curiosity off with some simple words.
This made the gatekeeper’s heart tingle, and he determined that this family was definitely extraordinary.
Even if they were really nothing special.
Wang Dalang was thinking about how to get rid of this enthusiastic uncle when he saw Old Madam Wang. He immediately followed her. “Grandma!”
Old Madam Wang nodded and walked in front. Wang Dalang quickly followed.
When the two of them walked out to the street, Old Madam Wang asked casually, “How did you find me here?”
“I went to the inn to book a room and got the waiter to arrange a space for the donkey cart. After that, I came out to ask around,” Wang Dalang said. “When I came, I heard that the new county magistrate was Lord Zhang, who had come to the village in the past. I thought that Grandma should be here to take a look, so I came. I happened to meet the uncle at the gate and he said that you were inside…”
Old Madam Wang stopped and looked at the nervous Wang Dalang.
“Grandma, did I do something wrong?” Wang Dalang swallowed his saliva.
Old Madam Wang retracted her gaze. “Not bad.”
Hearing this, Wang Dalang was immediately happy.
Grandma rarely spoke such words of praise. In Wang Dalang’s opinion, her “not bad” was equivalent to “very good”.
Old Madam Wang saw that Wang Dalang could not hide his excitement and shook her head in her heart.
This eldest grandson was not calm enough. He still had to practice more.
However, bringing him out this time was better than she had imagined.
Old Madam Wang brought Wang Dalang to his inn, planning to check her grandson’s ability in this aspect.
At home, Little Ah Yu was planting vegetables.
[Kid, you’re halfway through the mission.]
Late at night, Little Ah Yu carefully collected the grain seeds in the spatial pocket and placed them in a bamboo basket.
These grain seeds were urgently needed, so Meatball taught her to grow them in a proportionate mix of the Myriad Spirit Earth and Myriad Spirit Water. They matured faster and grew better.
In a day and night, they had already harvested several piles.
Every pile was a different breed.
She was a little tired, and her hands were a little red from working.
Hearing Meatball’s reminder, she smiled. “If Grandma finds out, she will definitely be happy!”
Grandma told her that she would sell these grain seeds to the villagers in the future so that they could grow more food.
In the future, Third Aunt’s family would not starve anymore, right?
Thinking about how she could help everyone, she did not feel tired anymore.
