nWhen the three of them heard that they didn’t have to write to Yu Wan anymore, not only were they not relieved, but they also revealed nervous and uneasy expressions.

nAt first, Yu Wan could not decipher their expressions, but the more she interacted with them, the more tacit they seemed to be. When the three of them pouted, she guessed what they were worried about.

nShe quickly explained softly, “It’s not that you guys don’t write well, nor is it that you’re disobedient.”

nYu Wan did not know if the little fellows could understand what she meant.

nThe three of them widened their eyes and looked at her innocently.

nYu Wan sighed inwardly. It seemed like they didn’t really understand. Forget it, this matter couldn’t be rushed. Just like how they refused to speak, they both needed time to polish themselves and a suitable opportunity.

nYu Wan accepted their calligraphy. This time, she did not dare to show too much affection. She was afraid that if she did, it would further encourage them to practice calligraphy.

nThe three little lads looked at Yu Wan and then at the words that Yu Wan had casually placed on the table. Their little faces revealed a thoughtful expression.

n… .

nLate in the morning, Shuanzi invited the town’s doctor over. The town’s medical center was not open yet. Shuanzi had asked around for the doctor’s residence and personally dragged him over.

nThe doctor thought that Yan Jiuchao was a country bumpkin and was unwilling to treat his illness. However, when he saw Yan Jiuchao’s noble face, he was immediately stunned speechless. How could such a god-like figure appear in this poor and remote place?

n“What are you waiting for?” Uncle Wan urged him.

nThe doctor returned to his senses awkwardly and immediately checked on Yan Jiuchao.

n……

nWhen Shuanzi went to look for him, he said that the patient has a dislocation. After he arrived, the village headman told him that the dislocated leg had been reset. He examined it carefully. It had really been reset, but why was the handprint on his leg so deep?

nThe doctor muttered, “Where did this doctor come from? This is too heavy-handed!”

nThe village headman was speechless. Do you want to know more about the vet in Lotus Flower Village?

nThe doctor prescribed a prescription for blood circulation and selenium to facilitate the recovery of the wound. He handed it to Uncle Wan and left.

nYoung Master Yan began his long and helpless journey of recuperation.

nOn the other hand, the villagers returned home one by one and began to tidy up the losses caused by the earthquake. They did not look carefully at night and thought that they only needed to repair the roof and the walls. Unexpectedly, when they looked again during the day, they discovered that many people’s houses had cracks on the ground!

nThe worst thing was that most of the good fields in the village had collapsed, and the protective barriers had been destroyed. Their crops were gone overnight, and they could not farm this year!

n“Aiyo…” Aunt Zhang collapsed outside the field and cried.” The land is gone… How are we going to live?”

nThe vegetables that were planted in the fields now could not be sold for much money, but their village was poor. Every family ate these vegetables every day. Moreover, they still hoped to plant some valuable crops in the fields next year. There was nothing left after the lands were destroyed by the earthquake.

n“I was happy when the river channel was not built in our village but… the land is gone! I might as well build the river channel! At least I can keep an acre of land!” Shuanzi squatted on the ground and secretly wiped his eyes.

nThese were naturally words of anger. The construction of the river channel and the earthquake were two completely different things. What should happen would happen sooner or later. Everyone just did not expect that although they had avoided the man-made disaster, they could not avoid the natural disaster. This year was another famine year.

nHowever, compared to the droughts in the past, the most terrifying thing was that there was no land to plant. Who knew how many people in their village would starve to death?

nMany villagers hugged their heads and cried outside the field.

nThe village headman said in a panic, “I’ll go to the county magistrate prefecture and report the situation in the village to see if the officials have any solutions!”

nThe village headman left without stopping.

nThe lands are gone, the only person in the village who was not greatly affected was probably the Zhao family. The Zhao family did not have much land and had always been helped by Ah Wan. After Yu Wan stopped helping the Zhao family farm, the Zhao family’s mother and daughter were lazy and had long abandoned the fields.

n“Big Brother, look! Their lands are gone!” Zhao Baomei looked at the villagers who were crying from the window and could not hide her smugness. “It’s good that it’s gone! Who asked them to be hand in glove with the Yu family and want to chase us out of the village? Now, they’ve suffered retribution, right? They deserve it!”

nZhao Heng frowned. “What nonsense are you talking about! You’re also from Lotus Flower Village. How can you gloat when something happens to the village!”

nZhao Baomei curled her lips. “So what if I’m gloating? Who caused Mom to be like this? Who asked them not to seek justice for us? Of course they deserve it! In my opinion, they should all starve to death!”

nEver since Zhao Heng had been the teacher of the county magistrate’s family, he would receive a generous reward every month. He would still have some savings after paying his tuition fees. Their family’s days were not much worse than before. Of course, that was if they ignored the debt of three hundred taels of silver.

nZhao Baomei gritted her teeth when she thought of the debt. “They’re both Ding family’s houses. Why did the new one collapse and the old one did not! I heard that the new family that moved in had their legs broken by the collapsed roof last night! Why didn’t they crush that Yu fellow to death!”

nZhao Heng glanced coldly at his sister!

nIn the end, Zhao Baomei was still afraid of her big brother. She stuck out her tongue and turned around to leave when she saw that he was really angry.

nThe cause and effect of Yan Jiuchao’s injuries were not spread to the public, so no one knew that the shed had almost crushed Yu Wan to death, but Zhao Heng knew.

nYesterday, he had gone to town to look for the county magistrate, but he had come up empty-handed. When he returned to the village, he heard people discussing that the county magistrate had already come to Lotus Flower Village. It was the newly moved Young Master Wan who had invited him over. After meeting Young Master Wan, the county magistrate immediately changed his mind and stopped digging the river in the village.

nEveryone in the village said that Young Master Wan was more knowledgeable than him and was the quasi-top scholar. He was indignant and wanted to meet that Young Master Wan. Of course, he also brought along thank you gifts.

nHe specially avoided the villagers who went to thank him, so he arrived a little late. Unexpectedly, he saw Yu Wan and the young master in white being buried under the ruins.

nThe figure that had pounced on Ah Wan could not leave his mind.
