PFC Chapter 130 Never change your original intention
Chapter 130 Never change your original intention
I'm afraid she wouldn't be so proactive, but since she had already agreed, she naturally wouldn't go back on her word. With the help of Yuqiu and the others, Jiang Shuyu quickly got dressed, and then after paying her respects to Ruan, she got on the carriage and headed towards Xu Yiyuan's residence.
Xu Mufan was waiting outside the mansion gate. When he saw Jiang Shuyu's carriage slowly approaching, his face was full of smiles. He quickly turned around and looked at Xu Yiyuan and said, "Here she is, here she is, Master. I told you she would come on time! Look, she's here now, isn't she?"
Jiang Shuyu got off the carriage and looked at Xu Mufan's happy expression. A smile also appeared on her face. Then she took a few quick steps and came to the two of them. "Master, Mufan, I'm here!"
Xu Yiyuan looked at Jiang Shuyu's energetic appearance and nodded with satisfaction. After all, they were not going out for fun this time. If no one was in high spirits, who would take care of whom?
But even though Xu Yiyuan was very satisfied with her, he did not say it out loud. He glanced at her and said:
"Now that everyone is here, let's go! It's been a while since we last met, so I guess we'll be busy today!"
Xu Mufan nodded in agreement, then looked at Xu Yiyuan and said, "Master is right. However, I heard that after General Jiang returned, he carried out a major overhaul of Anle Village. General Jiang has already punished those who abused their power to commit crimes. I believe that no one will dare to commit crimes again and challenge General Jiang's authority!"
When Jiang Zhongming was mentioned, Xu Mufan couldn't help but look at Jiang Shuyu. He had naturally heard that Jiang Shuyu was among them. If Jiang Shuyu hadn't found evidence of Jiang Hongtai's embezzlement, even with the support of General Jiang, it would have taken a lot of effort to catch them all.
He was naturally very surprised by this. After all, although Jiang Shuyu was very sympathetic to them at the beginning, she didn't take it to heart. What he didn't expect was that Jiang Shuyu actually paid so much attention to them silently and was able to wipe out these parasites in one fell swoop. It seemed that Jiang Shuyu had put a lot of thought into it.
Jiang Shuyu looked at Xu Mufan with complicated eyes and was puzzled. However, Xu Mufan had already withdrawn his gaze. Jiang Shuyu was naturally confused.
However, she knew Xu Mufan's trust in her, so he would not do anything bad to her. She immediately followed him and looked at the peaceful scene of Anle Village. The corners of Jiang Shuyu's mouth could not help but rise slightly. This was what she wanted to see.
Xu Yiyuan and his companions got off the carriage and then walked on the street. When everyone saw Xu Yiyuan's figure, they were naturally familiar with him. They immediately looked at him and greeted him familiarly. Xu Yiyuan responded with a smile on his face.
Seeing their smiles from the bottom of their hearts, Xu Yiyuan couldn't help but feel happy for them. He looked back at Jiang Shuyu, his eyes full of pride.
Regarding the situation in Anle Village at that time, he was also powerless. Although he could cure their illnesses, he could not cure their desire for life. Jiang Lan had pulled them back from the brink of hell.
Since Jiang Lan left, she could only watch them continue to wander on the edge of life and death. Now his apprentice has brought them hope again. It seems that they have received inheritance in the dark, making them closely connected with each other.
Wherever Xu Yiyuan went, he was cheered by everyone. People could not help but gather around him, talking about their joy.
"Doctor Xu, these are fresh fruits we just picked at home. They are so sweet! Please take some and try them!" A woman carrying a bamboo basket on her back hurriedly took out the fresh wild fruits from the basket and put them into Xu Yiyuan's hands.
Seeing this, the others also handed over what they could to Xu Yiyuan.
"Doctor Xu, this is the rabbit I shot. Take it as a snack!"
"And there's some corn from my house. Doctor Xu, take some and try it!"
"..."
Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was, Xu Yiyuan hurriedly tried to decline, but because there were so many people, his voice was drowned out. Jiang Shuyu's eyes were full of smiles. Seeing Jiang Shuyu's smile, Xu Mufan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and then looked at Jiang Shuyu and said:
"Master, every time they come, the fruits and vegetables in our house are enough to last them ten days or half a month. But Master never treats them unfairly. Every time, he sends someone to give each of them some silver to support their lives. For more than ten years, Master has been sticking to his original intention day after day. I have lost count of how many times I have come here."
Listening to Xu Mufan's words, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but look at her in astonishment. You know, there are quite a few old, weak, and disabled people in Anle Village. It's hard for the master to do this for more than ten years. You can imagine the hardships involved.
"Since Master knows how difficult it is here, why did he do that in the first place?"
Seeing Jiang Shuyu's suggestive look, Xu Mufan couldn't help but lower his eyes, then looked at Jiang Shuyu and said calmly: "Are you talking about the Yuan family taking over Anle Village? I don't know much about these things, but I heard from my master that when he left Kyoto for a while, Anle Village had been destroyed when he came back.
It's not that Master didn't go to the Emperor to ask for justice for Anle Village, but at that time, the Yuan family trampled on the lives of innocent people and enjoyed the honor of promotion and wealth, so naturally they would not admit their crimes.
Emperor Shunqing was naturally struck by the fatal blow to Anle Village at that time. In order to appease the old, weak and sick people in Anle Village, he handed the jurisdiction of Anle Village back to the Jiang family.
Originally, they could barely make ends meet under the care of Duke Dingguo, but Duke Dingguo was obsessed with calligraphy and painting, so he handed this place over to Jiang Hongtai. In order to demonstrate his power, Jiang Hongtai did not care about the lives of the old, weak and sick people in Anle Village at all. He not only increased their work, but also withheld their food.
Master knew that no matter who took over, the old, weak, sick and disabled people in Anle Village would inevitably become victims of the struggle.
But he was the one who participated in this in the first place, and watched them get to this point step by step. Naturally, he couldn't bear to give up easily, and could only do his best to improve their lives.
Furthermore, it was because of the Jiang family that Master would remain silent.
"Jiang family?" Jiang Shuyu looked at Xu Yiyuan in surprise. She had seen her grandmother's annoyance more than once when she saw Xu Yiyuan. At that time, she naively thought that her grandmother didn't like her master. Now it seems that the things she heard from others were not without evidence.
