Chapter 603 - 601
Lady Qian hated Old Granny Zhang, hated her so much it made her heart bleed, yet she had to appear as if nothing was wrong on the surface.
Packing up to leave Qilidun was not only a joy for Jinchai, but Lady Qian also breathed a sigh of relief.
It was easy to say they’d go, but once they stepped out the door, they remembered this wasn’t the county city; it wasn’t easy to hire a carriage. Were they supposed to rely on their legs to walk all the way to the town?
Wang Yongan thought of this problem as well, and his face immediately turned pale.
His wounds had not yet healed; how could he walk all the way to the town? Wasn’t this asking for his life?
"Dad, do we have any horse carts or something in our village? Let’s hire a horse cart to go to the town. In this freezing weather, your body can’t withstand it," Wang Yongan looked to Wang Laozhu.
Wang Laozhu waved his hand: "Your father is in good health! There are only ox carts in the village, and I have already arranged for one to come later. Your family is frail, so later move the blankets from the kang in the house onto the cart to avoid catching a cold."
Wang Yongan’s face darkened; they had to ride in an ox cart? With the mountain wind blowing over those dozens of miles of mountain roads, what state would they be in when they arrived at the town?
As he was entangled in these thoughts, Song Chongjin drove up to the old house’s doorway with a horse cart. He didn’t even get down from the cart, just sat on the shaft and shouted, "Uncle, come out, Yongzhu asked me to take you to the town."
Wang Laozhu came out and saw the setup, unable to hide a trace of satisfaction in his eyes; his little girl still had a filial heart.
He hurriedly called for Wang Yongan’s family to get on the cart quickly.
