Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 118 Part 4: Kindness

In the evening of this day, Jiang Li and Ye Ming Yu came empty-handed. However, Ye Ming Yu’s subordinate persuaded a couple who opened a noodle shop, called Ah Guai husband and wife. In that year, the husband and wife were deceived and there were problems with the land deed, which nearly caused the noodle shop to be forcibly taken away, losing their capital. Xue Huai Yuan investigated the case and let Ah Guai husband and wife to take back the land deed thus not causing them to be homeless and destitute.

Consequently, Ah Guai husband and wife had always been thankful to County Deputy Xue. Now Xue Huai Yuan was imprisoned, Ah Guai husband and wife had the mind to protest the unfairness for Xue Huai Yuan, but they did not know what they could do and always felt that their standing up would be overrating themselves. The appearance of Jiang Li and her people made them overjoyed, as if they finally knew what they could do, so they agreed without thinking much.

“Altogether, three people were found.” Ye Ming Yu said, “Are we going to send the order to Xiangyang tomorrow?”

Jiang Li nodded, “That’s enough.”

Ye Ming Yu asked, “Then do we continue to look for people?”

“Look.” Jiang Li said, “The more people there are, this matter will become bigger. Whether it would go to the Imperial Court of Judicial Review or reported to the Imperial Court, as long as it can make people unable to suppress it and make all the people under the sky see it, tearing this layer of skin, see how much trouble can the current Tongxiang County Deputy make.”

Ye Ming Yu said, “ I understand, then let’s continue!”

On this night, Jiang Li slept very steadily. In her dream, she met Xue Zhao and her father. The three people were on the road home to Qingshi Lane. In the night, Xue Zhao had a sword on his shoulder, proudly wielding a set of sword movements in front of Jiang Li and was scolded by Xue Huai Yuan while laughing.

The warmth made Jiang Li reluctant to wake up.

Until Bai Xue came to softly wake her up, “Miss, you should get up.”

These days, Jiang Li had gotten up very early. There’s no way, time must not be wasted. She still recalled last night’s beautiful dream in her mind, the dream that made her hate waking up from. However, her movements were still sober and firm. In a short time, she had made herself presentable. After eating a little, she was all ready to leave.

Out of the 568 households, they had not visited half of them. While out of the other half, there were only three people willing to stand up.

Sad? Perhaps; but it was more glad that it was not none at all, which would be the worst outcome.

Ye Ming Yu greeted Jiang Li with a smile, “Ah Li, today will be busy again.”

Jiang Li also smiled, “Today also hard work for uncle and all the brothers.”

Everyone laughed and went out the door, but were suddenly stunned in the garden.

Aunt Chun Fang was standing at the gate, dressed thinly, unknown how long she had waited, her body was shivering slightly. Seeing Jiang Li, her eyes brightened.

“Aunt Chun Fang?” Jiang Li looked doubtfully at her, “Why are you here?”

“I… I… “ Chun Fang stammered, as if finally summoning her courage after a long time, she said, “Miss, I, I’m willing to stand up, to testify for Master Xue!”

Jiang Li stared blankly.

“I’ve thought about it, Master Xue has helped us so much. If we don’t care, that means we don’t have any conscience. I’m willing to stand up!”

This timid woman seemed to have gained courage for no reason. Her voice increased suddenly, her head was raised, speaking resolutely.

Neither Jiang Li nor Ye Ming Yu expected her to say this.

After a long time, Jiang Li smiled and said, “Thank you, Aunt Chun Fang.”

Chun Fang blushed, waving her hand in a flurry as if she could not accept it. She said, “It’s not just me, there’s still them.”

From the corner, she saw two people walk out. They were Dai Yun who was leading Ping An over.

Ping An saw Jiang Li and showed a sweet smile. Dai Yun said, “Miss Jiang, I’ve thought it over. Master Xue saved Ping An so we must not be this heartless to Ping An’s benefactor. We, mother and daughter, always received Master Xue’s help while living in Tongxiang. We can’t let a good person suffer injustice because of our selfishness. We are willing to go forward.”

Jiang Li looked at her. Dai Yun tightly pulled Ping An’s hand. She seemed to have struggled for a few days before making her decision. Still, she was here with Ping An now.

“Thank you.” Jiang Li smiled, “With you, Master Xue’s case will be much easier. I think Master Xue’s rehabilitated days won’t be far.”

“It’s not just us.” Chun Fang said, “Look outside.” She pointed in one direction.

Jiang Li took a few steps forward.

At the mouth of Qingzhi Lane, unknowingly, numerous people were densely packed together for a long time. Some were outside, some were inside, crowding the alley, making the alley impenetrable. At least there were a hundred people here. There were men and women, at a glance, there were the people of Tongxiang.

Seeing Jiang Li, they shouted loudly, “Miss Jiang, we are all willing to be witnesses for Master Xue!”

“Miss Jiang, take us to help Master Xue! The grace of dripping water have to be paid back with gushing spring. We have all received Master Xue’s kindness, now it’s our turn to repay Master Xue!”

“We know Miss Jiang’s plan, we came specially looking for Miss Jiang. What Miss Jiang wants us to do, we will do, as long as we can save Master Xue!” freew(e)bnovel

Jiang Li looked at everything in front of her eyes in a daze.

Ye Ming Yu and his subordinates took two steps forward and saw the scene in front of him. In a low voice he said, “Oh my goodness…..” His voice was filled with wonder.

In comparison with the situation when they visited door to door in the last few days and met with rebuff, today, everything did not seem real, as if they were dreaming. These people in Tongxiang, the old, weak, women, child, they were all there. On their faces, there’s an undoubted courage of throwing caution to the wind.

Those people whom Xue Huai Yuan had once helped, those who had shrunk back into their houses for whatever reasons, the people who did not dare to stand up went through the struggle, hesitation, unease, until justice prevailed over fear. They finally stood up.

Is the human heart worth the expectation?

Is the human heart not worth the expectation?

Pin An struggled to let go of her mother’s hand, ran forward and pulled Jiang Li’s hand. She called out in a soft voice, “Sister, we are willing to stand up.” free(w)ebnov(e)l

Jiang Li’s eyes heated up, unable to speak.
