Chapter 144

When we returned to Yang's house, it was just dark and the porridge shed and rice stall were closed.

The whole family had been busy working all day, and everyone was exhausted.

Mrs. Yang was too tired to say anything, "I can't do this tomorrow. My old arms and legs can't stand such a torment."

Yang Huilan also rubbed her arms and said, "Tomorrow we will select some quick and clean women from the victims who receive meals. We will give them thirty cents a day. Some of them will go to the kitchen to help cook porridge and make steamed buns. Some of them will go to the front to distribute porridge and distribute steamed buns.

, we don’t have to work so hard.”

Mrs. Yang nodded, "The harvest is so bad this year, if you can make some extra money, there must be many people who are willing."

Thinking that the cooks had been tired all day, in the evening, the young and old of the Yang family ate some leftover steamed buns and white porridge, and then went back to their houses to rest.

Qin Muxiu and his wife also returned to the small courtyard. After all, they were worried that the matter was not over yet and Zhao Jin'er did not dare to sleep.

He has been sitting at the table with his clothes on, waiting eagerly.

Qin Muxiu called her to go to bed, but she was indifferent.

After waiting for about half an hour, I suddenly heard the sound of tiles colliding from the roof.

Zhao Jin'er suddenly stood up and said, "Axiu, did you hear me?"

Qin Muxiu also got off the bed, "I heard it."

Zhao Jin'er was so frightened that she shrank into his arms, "Aren't only robbers and bandits the only ones who climb over walls and walk away?"

"Maybe the robbers and bandits came in."

Zhao Jin'er became more and more frightened, "Let's call someone."

"No, nothing will happen." Qin Muxiu was as calm as a mountain, comforting and patted her shoulder.

At this moment, the sound of clashing weapons and the shouts of women watching the night came from outside the window.

Immediately afterwards, an angry male voice yelled, "Thieves! You are surrounded by archers. If you don't want to die, just raise your hands and surrender!"

Zhao Jin'er lay down at the window and took a look. The person speaking was a man in official uniform. He was dressed in the same attire as the inspector she had seen in Fenghuang Town before. He must have been the inspection officer from Xianggui Town.

Behind him stood officers and soldiers of No. 50 or 60 who were ready to go. Some were holding swords and guns, and some were holding full bows. It was obvious that they had prepared their defenses long ago and had been waiting until now.

Opposite them were a dozen fierce-looking bandits in black clothes and black trousers.

The leader was the terrifying man Zhao Jin'er saw in his hallucination.

Seeing that they were trapped in a urn, the bandits surrendered one after another.

The leading man refused to surrender and raised his knife to resist, but was immediately shot by random arrows.

"Keep alive!" the inspector ordered.

The officers and soldiers swarmed forward and tied the man alive.

It was only then that the rest of the Yang family came over.

Mrs. Yang had never seen such a scene before. She was so frightened that she quickly passed over, "Yao Shou, what is going on?"

Yang Huilan put Xiao Zhenxuan to sleep and found that so many officers and soldiers had gathered outside her hospital. She was also frightened, "What's going on?"

The inspector and Mr. Yang are old acquaintances. He stepped forward and patted Mr. Yang on the shoulder. "Old Yang, you have to thank your godson-in-law. Otherwise, your family will definitely suffer heavy losses tonight."

It’s going to cost someone’s life!”
