Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 118 Part 3: Kindness

Butcher Zhang looked at Jiang Li, “Little girl, I see your group of people are not ordinary people, and family backgrounds are not low, also not afraid of Feng Yu Tang’s power. All along, you kept thinking of redressing Master Xue’s injustice. I believe you! Since it’s like so, count me in, whatever you want me to do, I won’t object even in extreme danger! Anyway, I don’t have any relatives and reasons, just alone by myself, only have this butcher’s knife. I’ll carry this butcher’s knife to kill those animals that are worse than dogs!”

Jiang Li did not expect to hear such words coming out of butcher Zhang’s mouth. She suddenly felt that she never really knew this butcher Zhang, this man, whose body was full of unyielding integrity. She never expected that in Tongxiang, where every person avoided Xue Huai Yuan’s name due to the intimidation of Feng Yu Tang’s power, there’s still a person who was secretly working out a strategy to redress her father.

Perhaps butcher Zhang was not the first, perhaps there were still others like him. Feng Yu Tang could suppress the words and actions of the people, but he could not suppress the people’s hearts.

Jiang Li’s heart was also aroused in an instant.

She gave butcher Zhang a deep courtesy

Butcher Zhang jumped in fright and promptly said, “Little girl, what are you doing?”

“I thank you on behalf of County Deputy Xue.” Jiang Li said earnestly, “We know the things done by Feng Yu Tang in Tongxiang. Not everyone could step out to stand up for County Deputy Xue. I’m very thankful that you can.”

“There’s nothing to be thankful for,” Butcher Zhang waved his hands, “at that time, when I was the target of scorn, when everyone yelled at me, only Master Xue was willing to believe me and did not disdain me. Without Master Xue, I would have been tortured in prison and died. I often looked at the sun outside and said to myself, being able to feel all these are all due to Master Xue’s credit. My life originally belongs to Master Xue. Master Xue has difficulty, it’s impossible for me to ignore, or else, am I still a human? I heard that killing too many living creatures will make a person go to hell. I never believe this, but I believe that forgetting favors and violating justice will make you go to hell.”

“I don’t want to go to hell!” He said.

Jiang Li looked at this man’s fierce appearance and felt that he was cute. The two people looked at each other and laughed.

……

The second day, until night, when Ye Ming Yu and the others met, Jiang Li discovered that the only person willing to stand up to become a witness was just butcher Zheng alone.

After seeing butcher Zhang, she went to other households and each and everyone of them showed a difficult expression, hemming and hawing. Jiang Li did not force them, if others were not willing, she would naturally stop. Ye Ming Yu and the other bodyguards also ended up empty-handed. Ye Ming Yu was somewhat deflated.

“It’s okay, “ Jiang Li encouraged, “Didn’t we still find one person? I’ve said it before, one person a day and we can find five people. It’s okay.”

Ye Ming Yu looked at Jiang Li without speaking. He sighed, not because he could not find anybody, rather, because he was disappointed with the people’s hearts.

Jiang Li wrote about every family and each household in a book, and it’s true that each and every one of them had received Xue Huai Yuan’s help. Then, now that Xue Huai Yuan was in difficulty, just because of Feng Yu Tang’s influence, no one dared to stand up?

He was a little angry knowing this, but just like a basin of cold water poured on Ye Ming Yu’s burning heart, he cooled down. He liked the rivers and lakes’ principle of debt of gratitude coupled with duty to avenge. Kindness was kindness, hatred was hatred. But the visit to Tongxiang made him see the frustration on the street. He had no way to criticize because each person had their own justification. However, his chest was not smooth, as if blocked by anger, making him depressed.

He looked at Jiang Li, a 15 – 16 years old little girl facing these successive blows, how could she stay calm? As if being rejected was just a normal thing. If it was changed to Ye Jia Er and Ye Rufeng who encountered these circumstances, afraid the two of them had long been discouraged.

But not Jiang Li.

Jiang Li really would not feel broken-hearted because of this. In fact, after she had died once, she was still willing to treat people with kindness as before and would not become vicious just because she had suffered cruelty. However, she also had no expectation of people’s hearts.

Just like after becoming Jiang second miss, towards Jiang Yuan Bai’s fatherly love, towards the sentiment with old madam Jiang, and the young and old relatives in the Jiang family, it’s true that she wasn’t the real Jiang second miss, but she also did not put in much feelings. As far as how the Jiang family treated her, she did not mind, because she did not have any expectations.

In the end, Shen Yurong and Princess Yongning changed her. She was not clear whether this change was a good or bad thing, but there were times where she could feel the indifference in her bones. Watching the people who were related to her with the cool eye of a bystander just like watching the bustling noise of people who had nothing to do with her.

It resembled….. It resembled Ji Heng.

Perhaps her current self was the same as Ji Heng in their bones. Ji Heng’s purpose was to achieve his wish in politics while her goal was revenge. She was alive to reach her goal, it went without saying that it’s tedious and dull.

Jiang Li retreated her thoughts, “It doesn’t matter, uncle, there are still three days left. Tomorrow, I want to start to report to Xiangyang Magistrate, establish Feng Yu Tang’s charges, and suspend County Deputy Xue’s beheading command. On the last day, we can welcome county deputy Xue when he’s released from prison and bring these people from Tongxiang to the capital.”

“Tong Zhi Yang will agree?” Ye Ming Yu asked.

“He won’t be allowed to disagree, the rule is like this. Moreover, the Weaving Unit leader, Master Tang, has not yet departed. Master Tang knows the advantages and disadvantages, he would persuade Tong Zhi Yang.” Jiang Li said, “Of course, it will be better if we can find more people to testify.”

……

Jiang Li did not stop to rest. Early in the morning of the third day, she still woke up very early, divided the routes with Ye Ming Yu’s subordinates and went to convince those people who had received Xue Huai Yuan’s grace.

Aunt Chun Fang did not go out anymore, just standing in her garden, her eyes following the departing Jiang Li and her group of people. She was in a daze, it’s not known what she was thinking about.

It’s another day of leaving early and returning late.
