Zhang Qiuying marveled for quite some time, finally sighing, “I really didn’t expect there to be such a thing. Those two people are too bold and their intentions too sinister…”

When Mrs. Bai and Feng Ershu caused trouble in their shop before, they only wanted money. They didn’t have the guts to harm anyone’s life and they quaked in fear when they saw the pavilion chief.

Qi Shen and Qi He on the other hand, not only swindled money but also planned to throw an innocent girl into the river, endangering her life. They even dared to incite the villagers, besiege the County Government Office, and oppose the government.

It really was, too…

Scary!

Zhuang Qingsui also clicked her tongue, finally blinking: “Now that this matter has settled, everyone knows that the two of them were fraudsters, just his to con people and harm others. I suspect that Daya would be breathing a sigh of relief now.”

“Surviving from the brink of death, I suppose.”

Mentioning this, Zhuang Qingning sighed deeply.

The poor girl, because she didn’t cater to the villain’s plot, nearly met catastrophe. Fortunately, the matter was smoothly resolved and she can now live her life safely.

[These are also due to the host, because the host successfully completed this task and thus saved a life.]

A certain “five” in her mind echoed softly.

It was rare to see this certain “five” not boasting and praising herself, but instead showering her with accolades. It was indeed rare.

[But I also deserve some credit, after all, I set this task for the host, allowing the host to do such a virtuous deed.]

[Oh dear, I really am a little helper in becoming wealthy, and also a little angel collecting good deeds.]

Can the previous praise be taken back?

She had truly underestimated certain “five’s” shamelessness!

Zhuang Qingning rolled her eyes at a certain “five”.

[However, the main credit is to the host who successfully completed the task, so the credit for this matter is mostly due to the host.]

Seeing Zhuang Qingning’s grim expression, certain “five” was very shrewd, no longer trying to take all the credit for herself.

[The host has completed the task and earned a special formula for mosquito repellent herbal pack *1, recipe: corn ribs soup*l; for saving a life unintentionally, you get ‘Gusty Wind Gains Glory Fragment’*3. The host needs to continue doing tasks.]

Of course!

Zhuang Qingning looked at the bountiful rewards of this task, chuckled, bound the mosquito repellent herbal pack formula, and unlocked the mosquito repellent herbal formula.

She was thinking about going to the pharmacy later to get these things, make a few packs to place by her bed at night, and she could completely get rid of the problem of mosquitoes.

Meanwhile, Zhou Daya whom Zhuang Qingning mentioned was bundling up her table, stools, etc, in her house and tightly blocked the door.

“Daya, windows, also block the windows,” Mrs. Han reminded.

“Hmm, grandma you don’t have to worry, I’ll deal with it,” Daya quickly moved a chair to block the window from inside so that even if it could be opened from outside, they couldn’t enter the house for a while.

“This should be good enough.”

Zhou Daya looked at the secured door and window, brushed off the dust on her hands, picked up the kitchen knife from the sharpening stone, poured some water on it, and began to grind it carefully.

“Sharpen the tip too, and the sickle as well.” Mrs. Han instructed: “If anybody dares to do something, they get a sickle to their face.”

“I don’t believe they would dare to break into the house.”

Mrs. Han hit the floor angrily with her cane: “If they dare come in, I will stake my old life to protect you.”

“Grandma.” Daya’s eyes welled up with tears hearing this.

“Silly child, why are you crying? I am already old, only half-living. If I close my eyes today, it’s hard to say whether I can open them tomorrow. If I can protect you, my old bones will still have some purpose left.”

Mrs. Han reached out, wiping away the tears from Daya’s face: “Alright, alright, stop crying.”

“If grandma is really gone, you should go to Zeng County, find your aunt. Although her living conditions are not good right now, she can at least feed you and marry you off to a good family, then I can rest in peace…”

“Grandma.” Hearing this, Daya couldn’t stop her tears any longer. She embraced Mrs. Han and started to cry loudly.

“Stop crying, if you exhaust yourself now, what will you do later?” Mrs. Han scolded: “At a time like this, swallowing back any more tears, save your energy to do the things that need to be done.”

Just as Mrs. Han finished speaking, there was a sound of the courtyard door.

It seemed like the gate had been pushed open.

Daya’s face turned pale.

They had come to take her. To make her dress up and sent her to Cuiwei Lake, to be the Water Ghost’s bride.

Daya’s heart was in her throat, like it was going to jump out.

Then, there was a commotion from afar, seeming like a lot of people were coming in from outside into the courtyard.

Knocking sound rang from the door.

“Daya, don’t be afraid, remember what grandma told you earlier.” Mrs. Han squeezed Daya’s palm.

“Hmm!” Looking at Mrs. Han’s determined eyes, Daya nodded forcefully, her heart settled a bit, securely holding the kitchen knife in her hand.

Mrs. Han also picked up the hoe and the sickle from the side.

The two of them, full of spirit, prepared to face the intruder.

“Miss Zhou, Aunt Han,” the government official, Zhang Lin, shouted from outside.

“I am the government official from the county office. I have been ordered by Master Ding to inform Miss Zhou and Aunt Han that the Water Ghost matter is a lie created by Qi He and Qi Shen, both of whom have been taken to the County Government Office for punishment. Miss Zhou, you do not need to worry anymore.”

The Water Ghost was fake?

Both men have already been arrested?

That means she doesn’t need to be taken away to become a Water Ghost bride, and can continue her peaceful life again?

On hearing this, Daya paused, dropping the kitchen knife to the ground, covered her face with her hands, and started crying.

She cried out loud, not in rage, just sadness and relief.

The intense emotions in her cry, like a heavy hammer, came crashing down on everyone present, making even Zhang Lin and the others feel uncomfortable.

No wonder.

A girl, depending on her grandma for a living, leading a peaceful life, is suddenly taken away to be a Water Ghost’s bride, knowing that she was being sent to death but being helpless to escape. One can only imagine her fear.

Now, it was probably all the fear and worries accumulated in her heart being released.
