After Picking Up Five Brothers, No One Dares to Offend the Capital City

Chapter 125

Jiang Sheng said what Zheng Ruqian had said was sincere, just like his modest character.

The bean sprouts in Xieyang County were already sprouting, the sticks were all set up, and several straightforward elders from Shili Village were left to keep watch. In addition, Xu Mo had high prestige in the county. As long as the Niu and Ma families did not make trouble, others would not dare to do anything.

On the contrary, the freshly made sausages needed more care.

Jiang Sheng had originally thought it would be better if she went to the prefecture city herself, so as not to make everyone travel back and forth.

But she did not expect unanimous opposition.

Zheng Ruqian pinched her nose and said, "Little girl, you're getting arrogant and want to fly alone? Don't think you can be trusted just because you're nine this year."

Fang Heng put away his stick and glanced at her sideways. "What, when you need it you hug your brother and refuse to let go, but when you don't need it you want to be free?"

Wen Zhiyun rubbed his neck and complained in a low voice, "I have to ask Dr. Wu for leave. I won't earn these five taels of silver."

Chang Yan blinked and obediently massaged his fourth brother's neck and shoulders, casually saying, "I have nothing to do, I can go anywhere."

As soon as he said this, he attracted everyone's attention.

Especially Xu Mo. This year he had been the county magistrate's teacher in Xieyang County, dealing with all kinds of trivial matters every day. Although he had also helped some people's livelihoods, he had been absent for his younger siblings for too long.

In addition, he would take the county exam next year and needed to concentrate on preparing for it.

Xu Mo put down his teacup and said slowly and softly, "I have resigned from my position as county teacher."

Everyone in the yard was taken aback.

Fang Heng was the first to speak. "Will Magistrate Bian let you go?"

Of course he wouldn't.

As soon as Xu Mo mentioned it, Bian Wenxuan rushed over to grab his legs, with tears all over his face, "Teacher Xu, don't go, don't leave me, how can you abandon us."

If you didn't know better, you'd think he was crying over an unfaithful man.

Wang Xi rolled his eyes outside, also feeling a little reluctant in his heart.

Teacher Xu was practical and steady in his work. Not only was he praised by the common people of Xieyang County this year, but even the yamen runners like him were full of admiration.

But he also understood that Xieyang County was just a small place, unable to give full play to Teacher Xu's great talents. Only a wider world was suitable for Teacher Xu to spread his wings and fly.

Bian Wenxuan also realized this. He crawled up aggrievedly, wiping his snot with his official uniform while grunting, "Go ahead, go ahead. Xieyang County will have nothing to do with you in the future."

Xu Mo smiled. "Sir, Xieyang County is my hometown. It's the place I'll always care about."

"What's the use of caring, only lending a hand when something happens is real care." Bian Wenxuan's face turned red. "There are still thousands of wandering children without shelter. I don't even know if they can pay their taxes next year. You're just walking away, what am I supposed to do?"

After speaking, he was taken aback, and so was Wang Xi outside.

A year ago, Bian Wenxuan was still a half-assed official who could abandon the common people of the whole county for private matters.

A year later, he was actually beginning to care about people's livelihoods, taxes, and homeless wandering children.

Everyone was growing up. Time gave them not only traces, but also mature minds, comprehensive perspectives, and an all-embracing attitude.

Xu Mo bowed slightly and said sincerely, "Sir, rest assured. If the bean sprout business is still good, I will advise my younger brothers to purchase more farmland to settle the remaining wandering children."

"Xu Mo is leaving to prepare for the exam and take the county exam, but the common people of Xieyang County are still there. I entrust them all to you, sir."

The blue figure bowed down, both earnest and transferring responsibility.

Somehow, Bian Wenxuan shrank three inches.

With Xu Mo here before, he had always acted arbitrarily and carelessly.

Now that Teacher Xu had resigned, the huge Xieyang County and its tens of thousands of common people were all on his shoulders.

"Actually, sir, you can still hire another teacher, just maybe not as excellent as Teacher Xu," Wang Xi said in a low voice.

Bian Wenxuan turned back and scolded him a few words. "You're so smart. The teacher is just an assistant. After all, the magistrate is the parent official of the common people."

He seemed to have really grown up.

In the yard, the six siblings were all getting things ready.

Jiang Sheng was excited and energetic about the future of the workshop.

Zheng Ruqian was more experienced than her and had already given Shopkeeper Bai twenty catties to sample in advance.

The result was that before they even set off, the You Ran House in Xieyang County had resolutely decided to order one thousand catties of sausage.

Jiang Sheng was grinning from ear to ear.

When Pang Dashan went to Yunshui County to buy vegetables, he also brought back a batch. The owner of the vegetable shop said he really liked them and was willing to stock two hundred catties for retail.

Everything was just like the salted meat before, but the audience for the sausage seemed a bit wider.

After all, the salted meat was still a bit salty, not everyone could eat it.

The sausage had a wide variety of flavors suitable for a wider audience. As long as they protected the recipe, it would definitely sell for a long time.

Jiang Sheng was very happy, and her brothers were also happy for her.

But when he returned to the room, Wen Zhiyun's face inevitably showed melancholy.

Chang Yan delicately sensed it and went over to pat him on the shoulder. "Fourth brother, did Dr. Wu not allow you to ask for leave?"

Wen Zhiyun nodded, then shook his head.

Dr. Wu was extremely tolerant of him and let him ask for leave as he wished. Anyway, he got paid for working and got no silver for not working.

It was fine before when he only took a day or two off occasionally.

But this year, he had been in the prefecture city for most of the time, leaving Dr. Wu alone in the clinic, not knowing how busy he must be.

Wen Zhiyun felt extremely guilty and offered his resignation, hoping Dr. Wu would hire another apprentice.

It would be best if he could stay in the county for a long time and not leave easily.

Unexpectedly, Wu Suowei stared at him for a while, then suddenly laughed. "You're still worried about me, think more about yourself. When I wasn't there, did you work hard to memorize medical texts? Did you identify medicinal herbs? Did you diagnose and treat people?"

Wen Zhiyun was stunned and nervously shook his head.

He had done the first two, but didn't dare do the third.

Recalling the previous times he had treated people, each time his family was injured as the price. Wen Zhiyun desperately shook his head.

Wu Suowei laughed again.

While laughing, he hit Wen Zhiyun on the head with a medical book. "Since you can't bear to leave your siblings and want to accompany them, then go at ease. No one says you have to sit in the clinic to be a good doctor."

"It's when you're outside, daring to diagnose and treat people, daring to explore the unknown, that you can avoid wasting those days."

Wen Zhiyun was scolded until he was stunned. It took him a long time after leaving the clinic to come back to his senses.

Not until he saw little Jiang Sheng's smiling face did he suddenly realize.

During those days in the prefecture city, he had always buried himself in books, unwilling to go out and unwilling to take people's pulses or treat them. As a result, his medical skills had fallen behind. It was only when he returned to Xieyang County and was pressed by Dr. Wu that he made some progress.

This wouldn't do. Everyone was making progress. Even his little sister was going to revive the workshop. As the older brother, he naturally could not fall behind.

Perhaps he should open a clinic in the prefecture city like his father.
