Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.
Chapter 293 How Long Does the Old Man Have Left to Live?
It turned out that Old Man Yun knew that Yun Huaikang's family was doing very well in the capital, with his second son becoming a sixth-rank official and his granddaughter becoming a county princess and the goddaughter of the Duke's mansion. Naturally, he started to act arrogantly.
Every day, when he has nothing to do, he sits at the entrance of the village with his hands behind his back, his head held high, and he acts as if he is afraid that others will not know that his son's family has made a name for themselves in the capital.
At first, the villagers were cautious about him, after all, the boy was indeed capable, and news of him would come back every now and then.
Moreover, the most profitable pastry shop in the county often sent large and small packages to his house, which were either food or money.
But as time went on, everyone realized something was wrong.
The county only sent a few things; I didn't see any of the other benefits.
I heard that the Yun family is also in the capital, and Yun Zide has been demoted and divorced.
Yun Zirun also lost his job at the county government, so it seems his life is just so-so.
So everyone got tired of praising Old Man Yun, since there was no benefit in it and they still had to listen to his lectures.
Old Man Yun was also furious inside, but on the surface he still had to put on an arrogant air, acting like a high-ranking official every day.
Over time, the villagers stopped liking him and would avoid him whenever they saw him.
One day, Old Man Yun went to sit at the village entrance again and saw two children playing. He immediately started glaring and scolding the children for being ill-mannered, saying that their parents had not raised them well and that they were like savages.
The parents of both families were not to be trifled with either, and they immediately retorted.
The old man couldn't stand it. In a fit of anger, he suddenly stood up, but he was so strong that he became dizzy and fell to the ground. He never got up again after that.
Yun Zhangshi, who is Yun Shengsheng's grandmother, was extremely anxious. She told her second grandson, Yun Zirun, to quickly send a message to his father and second uncle, saying that their family had been bullied by the villagers and asking them to come back and uphold justice.
Yun Zirun lost his job in the government office a long time ago. He used to be arrogant and domineering in the village because his brother was a scholar who had passed the imperial examination and was an official in the capital.
Although my second uncle has now obtained an official position and my younger cousin is a county princess, everyone treats him politely on the surface, but behind his back they all say that his family has a bad relationship with my second uncle's family, and he can't benefit from it at all.
He was also holding back his anger, and upon hearing the old lady's words, he immediately went to deliver the message, wishing he could call back his second uncle's whole family to properly discipline these ungrateful villagers.
As the saying goes, they are family; even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected! Naturally, the second uncle's family would side with their own nephew.
Perhaps, through his second uncle and younger cousin's connections, he could return to the county government and even get a promotion!
After listening to Xiao Mao Tuanzi's words, Yun Shengsheng frowned, her mind preoccupied with something else.
"Tongzi, can you find out how much longer the old man has to live?"
The little dumpling blinked and said, "I hit my head when I fell. If I hadn't found a good doctor, I probably wouldn't have lived more than two months."
Yun Shengsheng's brows furrowed even more.
This won't do!
If the old man dies now, my whole family will have to observe mourning.
My parents have to go back to the village to take care of my grandmother, and my fifth brother, who is at the most important stage of his studies, also has to be called back to keep vigil at the coffin.
Shops, business, and studies all have to come to a standstill.
Therefore, we must keep that old man alive, preferably for a long time, but we can't let him have the energy to cause trouble for others.
Yun Shengsheng considered that she had almost finished dealing with the matters at hand, so she did not delay any longer.
She told Old Li and Yun Pianpian that she wanted to go back to the capital because she missed her parents.
No one had any objections.
So, in early August, the group finally set off, but their destination wasn't the capital, but Taijing County. The reason was readily available: they needed to send their cousin, Yun Yaya, back first, and no one could find fault with that.
Wenren Jue ultimately decided to stay.
He still had unresolved grudges in the Kingdom of Yelang, and staying at Yongmen Pass was closer to the Kingdom of Yelang.
Moreover, the Yelang Kingdom and the Daxuan Kingdom are currently at loggerheads, so there might be an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
One more thing, Yun Qiaoqiao is still here.
Although he couldn't see her on the battlefield, he wanted to wait for her here.
He had no relatives left in this world. Yun Qiaoqiao saved him, and she became his only family.
Yun Shengsheng didn't press him, and smiled as she left him an address: "If you change your mind, brother, come to the capital to find us anytime."
"Also, remember to take good care of the things we planted!"
"Once they're planted, they'll be very useful!"
Wenren Jue smiled slightly at her: "Alright, I will certainly live up to your expectations!"
Until we meet again!
Yun Shengsheng said to Xiao Tuanzi in her mind: "[System, keep an eye on Wenren Jue for me. If he does anything strange, tell me immediately!]"
She had to prevent Wenren Jue from using Da Xuan to help him take revenge.
She wouldn't stop it if it was beneficial to Daxuan.
However, if he disregards everything and only thinks about avenging himself, dragging the Great Xuan Kingdom into the mess, then she must lock him up.
Fortunately, the generals also knew Wenren Jue's identity and would definitely keep an eye on him from the shadows to prevent him from acting recklessly.
Yun Qiaoqiao and Zhen Linqing were still on the battlefield and were unable to return to see them off.
But Yun Shengsheng and the others were not disappointed. They treated the last meal together as a farewell banquet.
Yun Shengsheng sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, and looked back.
Looking at this somewhat drab county town, looking at the streets.
Looking at the city wall of Yongmen Pass, it gleamed with a cold, bluish-gray hue in the morning light.
Looking at the distant, rolling mountains, I wondered what lay beyond them.
She lowered the carriage curtain and leaned against the carriage wall, listening to the sounds of horses' hooves and wheels mingling together, and felt inexplicably at peace.
Because they were worried that Yun Qiaoqiao might get hurt or have an accident, they rode at full speed all the way.
There's nothing much going on when I go back now, so there's no rush.
Therefore, the carriage was not fast, and it kept stopping and starting along the way.
They will stop to rest when they encounter beautiful scenery.
We'll also take a stroll around towns when we come across them.
I bought a lot of unique and novel items from different places, thinking of giving them as gifts when I got back.
In fact, Yun Shengsheng was counting down the days in her mind and also having the system help monitor the old man's health.
She knew that even if they strolled around slowly every day, they could still reach Taijing County within a month.
With Master here, he can definitely save the old man's life.
She doesn't need the old man to be particularly good or lively; she just wants him to be alive and lying in bed.
And so they traveled and played along the way, until they finally arrived in Taijing County in early September.
The group first settled down in the county town, where they found the Yun family's house and shops.
Song Xiaolin is a good friend of Yun Huaikang, and now his whole family is helping the Yun family manage their house and shops.
There were also people from Yun Shengsheng's maternal grandparents' family in the shop.
When Song Xiaolin and the others saw Yun Shengsheng and the others return, they were overjoyed. That very evening, they booked several tables at the largest restaurant in the county town, where everyone ate, laughed, and had a wonderful time.
During the meal, Yun Shengsheng naturally also "just learned" about her grandfather's illness...
