Exiled to Lingnan, the Crown Prince's wife raises children, cultivates the land, and leads the

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"

Having served as the village head for so many years, Zhuang Lizheng wasn't stupid. Hearing Jin Yi's words, he immediately understood his worries and said, "Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, no one in the village will deliberately bully the women of the Jin family."

"Don't just talk about your Jin family; if any woman in the village is bullied, I'll stand up for her!"

Zhuang Lizheng said righteously, "Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother's wife, how did you raise this child? He can't even tell the difference between light and heavy objects. How can you use such a thick stick to hit someone?"

"Zhuang De, hurry up and take your sixth son back home and teach him a lesson."

Zhuang Lizheng called out Zhuang Laoliu's biological father.

"It's common for children to fight and roughhouse, but hitting them with sticks is absolutely unacceptable!"

The village head was shouting angrily.

Zhuang De arrived breathlessly. Upon hearing Zhuang Lizheng's words, he bowed and apologized without hesitation, saying, "Brother, don't worry, I'll definitely teach him a lesson when we get back."

As Zhuang De spoke, he added, "Brother, didn't the Jin family... go too far?"

"Your granddaughter almost killed someone else's granddaughter, and you call that heavy-handed?"

The village head glanced at him and said, "He's not missing any limbs, he can just go home and rest for a while, can't he?"

Zhuang Liu and Chen Juhua were wailing on the ground, but since they weren't missing any limbs, the Jin family didn't go too far.

Hu Dali has his eye on Jin Yi's daughter, and Jin Yi's whole family is willing to risk their lives for her, let alone Zhuang Liu's family.

Zhuang De called his men to take the wailing Zhuang Liu and Chen Juhua home. Looking at the terrified Erni and Sanni standing to the side, Zhuang De slapped them: "Get out of here! You're just causing me trouble!"

Erni and Sanni were pushed and scrambled away, their small faces filled with fear. When they looked back at Cheng Qiqi, it was as if they had seen something frightening!

"Lord Zhuang, thank you for upholding justice for us today. With you as the village head, the lives of the villagers will only get better and better!"

Marquis Zhongyong showered the village head with praise. In the imperial court, he could even flatter the emperor. Naturally, he could make the humble village head very happy.

At the same time, Marquis Zhongyong thanked each of the villagers who had spoken up for him, showing Jin Yi's sincerity and his grief as an old man burying his young son.

Some people thought the Jin family had gone too far when they saw Zhuang Liu and his wife being carried away, but now that they think about it... it's clear that Zhuang Liu and his wife's child went too far. Even if they don't hit the child, it's not wrong for them to hit the child's parents, right?

If it were their children, they would fight anyone who dared to hit their backs with such a thick stick.

So everyone turned around and comforted Marquis Zhongyong. Looking at Jin Sui'an's small figure, who had lost his father, they were filled with sympathy.

Cheng Qiqi watched this scene calmly. Erni and Sanni were not worthy of any sympathy. They couldn't steal the hat, so they attacked the younger An'an, even hitting An'an with such a thick stick!

An'an is only four years old, so young. If she were hit with a stick, she would be crippled even if she didn't die!

"An'an".

Cheng Qiqi squatted down, wanting to comfort Jin Sui'an.

"Mom, you're amazing!"

Jin Sui'an looked at Cheng Qiqi with admiration on her little face and said, "Mommy avenged An'an! An'an bit her, she bit her really hard!"

"That's amazing!"

Cheng Qiqi praised her daughter, feeling a little relieved; her daughter was very strong.

"Mother, Father isn't dead, is he?"

Jin Suian asked cautiously, her red eyes and trembling eyelashes conveying her apprehension.

"..."

Well, you shouldn't have been so relieved too soon.

Looking at her daughter's chubby little face and her clear, innocent eyes, Cheng Qiqi couldn't bear to lie to her.

However, telling the truth would be cruel to the four-year-old girl!

Liu Suyi turned her face away, already unable to hold back her tears.

The image of her beloved grandson had already appeared in Madam Jin's mind.

"He's not dead!"

Marquis Zhongyong spoke and immediately picked up Jin Sui'an.

"Grandpa, I knew it! Father wasn't dead!"

Jin Sui'an hugged her grandfather, happily kissed him on the cheek, and said, "An'an loves Grandpa the most!"

"Grandpa also likes An'an the most."

Marquis Zhongyong carried An'an home, saying, "Come on, Grandpa will weave you some grasshoppers so we can show them to your father later."

"I want to weave lots of grasshoppers."

Jin Suian's crisp voice gradually faded into the distance. Cheng Qiqi took a deep breath: "It's good to lie to An'an, so she won't feel bad."

An'an was sad for several days after a bearded uncle left. If she knew her own father had died, she would cry every day.

"Yes, she's still so young. Let's tell her the truth when she's older."

Liu Suyi sighed deeply, looking at Cheng Qiqi's beautiful face. She was only in her early twenties, with such a bright future ahead of her...

The Marquis of Loyalty and Courage, a martial artist with exceptional hearing, listened to Liu Suyi and Cheng Qiqi's words behind him. His eyes flickered slightly. He was not lying!

"Sister Zhuang, is he your son?"

Cheng Qiqi looked at the boy who had saved her daughter and felt extremely grateful.

"Yes, my son, Xiao Nian Gao."

Zhuang Sanmei looked at her son with pride. He was only ten years old, but he was almost as tall as her.

"Lin Nianzhou".

The boy blushed slightly on his tanned face when he was called by his nickname.

"Alright, alright, Little New Year."

Zhuang Sanmei praised, "You protected the little sister today, that was amazing!"

"Yes, thank you for protecting An'an."

Cheng Qiqi looked at Lin Nianzhou solemnly, so grateful she didn't know what to do. She said, "Sister Zhuang, can I treat you and Xiao Nian to dinner tonight?"

"No need to be so polite."

Zhuang Sanmei declined, saying, "It's just a small favor."

If it weren't for Cheng Qiqi, she wouldn't have been able to earn money in the sugar shop, let alone work in the store now!

The shop hasn't started operating yet, but Zhuang Sanmei just feels that she can definitely earn more money there.

Therefore, Zhuang Sanmei was very grateful to the Jin family.

"Sister Zhuang, we need to eat."

Cheng Qiqi held Zhuang Sanmei's hand, not letting her leave.

"Yes, we must eat. We should properly thank Xiaonian," Liu Suyi echoed.

"Sister Zhuang, let's talk about the shop."

Cheng Qiqi was enthusiastic and determined, and she directly pulled Zhuang Sanmei and Lin Nianzhou away.

When Zhuang Sanmei heard that it was about the shop, she couldn't refuse at all.

Back home, Cheng Qiqi personally cooked, preparing to use her best culinary skills to entertain the guests.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to catch some fish."

Jin Yanzhi pulled Jin Lizhi to go fishing. Since they were going to entertain guests, they couldn't skimp on the meat dishes!

"Okay, pick some more toon leaves on your way."

Cheng Qiqi reminded everyone that spring is the perfect time to enjoy the toon leaves, and frying them with an egg is a favorite activity for children!

Steam more rice. Lin Nianzhou is just a teenager, the kind of boy who can eat his way out of poverty. She saved An'an, so she can't let her go hungry.
