Chapter 62 Meeting the County Magistrate
  The group of people left the village in a mighty manner and met several villagers on the road. Everyone dared to look at them from a distance and did not dare to step forward.

Dong Ze kept trying to communicate with Mianmian on the way, but Mianmian said nothing, and the child was still wilting when he arrived at the county government office.

When the county magistrate Xie Yucheng received the news, he hurried over and compared the picture with the child for a long time. His eyes became brighter and brighter, "Yes! That's right! It should be right this time!"

Mianmian was so frightened by Xie Yucheng that she crawled into Jiang Ning's arms.

Jiang Ning was very embarrassed and said with an apologetic look: "Sir, the women really don't know that the Mao brothers are Mianmian's guards, otherwise I would not hide Mianmian."

"What Mao brothers?" Xie Yucheng finally turned his attention to Jiang Ning.

Dong Ze whispered in Xie Yucheng's ear for a while.

Xie Yucheng frowned and explained to Jiang Ning: "Those two people are not the guards of the Zhong family at all, but pretenders. Master Dong just tested Madam Jiang, Madam Jiang, don't blame me."

Jiang Ning immediately let out a sigh of relief, with a look of joy on his face, "It's okay if it's not, it's okay if it's not! Otherwise, the women of the common people won't know what to do!"

Mianmian raised her little head and said seriously: "Don't be afraid, aunt, they are bad people! Bad people deserve to die!"

This was the first time that Xie Yucheng and Dong Ze saw their child speak, and what he said was like this.

The two men immediately fell down.

Xie Yucheng ordered: "Check the details of those two people and see who they are. Be sure to give an explanation to the Zhong family."

As he spoke, Xie Yucheng continued to be tempting, hoping that Mianmian would tell more useful information, but Mianmian continued to keep his mouth shut, saying nothing, and especially rejecting people other than Jiang Ning. This made it difficult for Xie Yucheng to handle.

Jiang Ning coaxed: "Mianmian, this uncle can take you home, my aunt is going back too."

"Wow!" Mianmian burst into tears suddenly, frightening Xie Yucheng to death. "This, this, this, Mrs. Jiang, do you think this is okay? You can help take care of Mianmian for a few more days, and I will send her to you when the Xu family arrives. Mianmian will be brought back, don't worry, the Mao brothers are not good people and deserve to die, but they still have to be investigated, and I can only guarantee you that Qian will not die."

Jiang Ning looked grateful, "A civilian woman has thanked you!"

Finally, Xie Yucheng sent several government officials to escort Jiang Ning and Mianmian back to the village in carriages.

As soon as the carriage entered the village, all the villagers were summoned, and even the village chief came forward.

Jiang Ning asked the yamen to send Mianmian back first, then turned around and went to the village with the others. He briefly talked about Mianmian's situation, "I knew from the beginning that the Mao brothers were not good people, but because they lived in the east of the village, there was no one around on weekdays. Going this way, by the time I received the news, everyone had already arrested the Mao brothers, so I didn't tell anything about the child, because I was afraid that if the Mao brothers ran away and came to arrest the child again.

I didn't expect that so much trouble would happen because of the Qian family. I just explained the situation to the county magistrate. The county magistrate has made it clear that the Mao brothers are not good people and that the Qian family will not pay for it with their lives. However, we still need to investigate until everything is clear. Then judge again. "

The villagers were relieved to know that Qian would not be sentenced to death, and they turned around and accused the Mao brothers of being useless. However, no one complained about Jiang Ning, and they were a little afraid of Jiang Ning because she talked to the county magistrate.

After the villagers watching the excitement dispersed, Old Yang and Yang Laosan rushed over from the west of the village and chased Jiang Ning to ask about Qian's affairs.

Jiang Ning said helplessly: "I don't know the specific sentence, but the county magistrate also believes that the Mao brothers are not good people. For the sake of the children, the sentence may be light." Old Yang opened his mouth and said with a blushing face: " My dear, I know you don’t get along with the Qian family, and I don’t like the Qian family, but after all, we are from the same village, can you try your best to help and put in a good word?"

"Don't worry, Dad! I still have three unmarried sons and one unmarried daughter. Even if it's for their sake, I won't stand idly by." Jiang Ning said lightly.

The big stone in Old Man Yang's heart finally fell.

Jiang Ning couldn't bear to see that he seemed to have aged several years overnight, so he said: "Dad, if you and the third child want to build a house for others, you can talk to the villagers. It's not winter yet and there are no houses." You can earn a little more from farm work."

Old Man Yang nodded heavily, "You have your heart! I will let the third child tell you."

After Jiang Ning returned, the officials' eyes lit up when they saw her, and they couldn't wait to ask: "Mrs. Jiang, how did you build this house in your house? We have just studied it for a long time, and no matter how we look at it, we feel that it is different from other houses. And is it painted with lime inside? It doesn’t look that big to me!”

"Moreover, the floor tiles are also very unique. How much does it cost to build a room like this?" Another Yamen asked eagerly.

Jiang Ning looked at them funny, "My father-in-law and my son built the house together. I really haven't calculated it carefully. Will I tell you when I finish it?"

Several people nodded.

The older officer said, "My name is Gao Yong, from Gaojiazhuang. Madam Jiang, must you have heard of me?"

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, "I've heard of it. It's right next door to Qianjiazhuang."

"That's right! Right there! My son is fifteen this year. We just got married. We are going to get married next year. I plan to build him a few new houses. It will definitely be more honorable if we can build it like this!" Gao Yong's eyes were on the house. Swirling around, unable to hide my envy.

When Jiang Ning heard this, he hurriedly said: "Hey! That's a big deal! We can't delay it. Let's have some tea first. I'll go in and do the calculations, and come out to tell you?"

"Then I'll trouble Mrs. Jiang!"

Jiang Ning quickly led Liu Ye into the house. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law calculated carefully for a long time and finally came up with a feasible price.

She came out of the house and saw a bunch of people waiting, so she hurriedly said: "I just calculated it with my daughter-in-law. In fact, it is really not expensive to build this house. Everyone can make adobe, but there are some things added to the adobe in my house. It’s more sophisticated and will be stronger than ordinary adobe, you should have noticed this.”

Everyone nodded.

Jiang Ning smiled, "Also, the plaster for the walls, the tiles for the roof, and the floor tiles are all made by ourselves. I heard that a piece of blue brick in town costs one penny, but we are not that expensive. The adobe brick costs three penny." The price is expensive because of the things added to it. You have to buy the materials from the beach and calcine them, which is quite labor-intensive."

When everyone heard that the materials came from the seaside, they felt that Jiang Ning had suffered a loss.

Then Jiang Ning quoted the price of tiles, floor tiles and wall plaster. That means wall plaster is more expensive and everyone else can accept it. But although wall plaster is expensive, the effect is obvious. They are all government officials and have fixed prices. With a monthly salary, the conditions were much better than those of ordinary villagers. They immediately expressed their desire to repair their houses and all signed up with Jiang Ning.

After the official left, Jiang Ning packed up his things and took Yang Erdan to the old house.
