Chapter 372 We still have to move.

Knowing that they wouldn't dare to attack him easily because of the Taoist's words, Lin Huaizhi chuckled strangely twice and limped away, leaning on his cane.

Wang Amiao was furious and pushed aside the servants who were blocking her way, kicking them.

"What are you doing blocking my way?! You bunch of good-for-nothings!"

"Even beggars can come and bully people right at their doorstep!"

She cursed and tried to rush out, but the county magistrate's wife burst out of the house and shouted, "What's all this commotion! If there's anything wrong with the grandson in your belly, you'll be in big trouble!"

The county magistrate's wife straightened her back, a rare sight indeed; this was the first time she had ever been so fierce towards Wang A Miao.

Because Wang Amiao had almost lost her child due to her previous outbursts, she insisted that she couldn't let her cause any more trouble.

"If you keep acting up, I'll make Wen Cai a concubine! If you're pregnant, I'll elevate you to a secondary wife. Do you think you're the only one who can have children?!"

She made another threat, and only then did Wang Amiao quiet down.

However, she still felt a burning hatred as she watched Lin Huaizhi's figure grow smaller and smaller.

When Zhang Chunhua returned to where the oxcart was parked and didn't see anyone, she immediately panicked.

When she asked the driver, he only said that he had been in the car just now. Zhang Chunhua tossed her things aside and went to find Lin Huaizhi.

"Mother, you're back!"

Lin Huaizhi's weak voice sounded behind her. Zhang Chunhua turned around, took a few steps forward, and for the first time spoke harshly to him and even hit him.

"You brat! Where have you been? Didn't I tell you to wait patiently in the car?!"

"You want to kill your mother?!"

Her eyes were filled with tears, and she patted Lin Huai's back absently.

Lin Huaizhi gently nudged her. "Mother, let's go."

He didn't want to say anything more and climbed onto the oxcart on his own.

Zhang Chunhua was already used to his indifferent attitude. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, picked up her things from the ground, and climbed onto the oxcart.

When she got home, she first started simmering soup, then tucked the land deed into her sleeve and went to find Wen Luozhi.

The group met on the way, and Zhang Chunhua took them to see the field she was selling.

Because the fields had been turned into barren land due to lack of irrigation, Zhang Chunhua, fearing they wouldn't fetch a good price, went out of her way to keep them clean.

Finally, a fair price was agreed upon, and Wen Luozhi paid the money, with the two exchanging money for goods.

With even this last bit of life-saving material gone, Zhang Chunhua clutched the silver in her arms and walked home, still somewhat dazed.

The village chief gathered again under the big tree at the village entrance, and this time he was talking about growing greenhouse vegetables.

The vegetable seedlings were cultivated by the Wen family, and the villagers bought them from her after they were harvested.

They will also teach you the planting techniques; as for how well you take care of the plants and how well they grow, that's up to you.

Half a month later, the weather suddenly turned cold, and long white dragons appeared in the open spaces of the village.

With Wen Ziming in charge of farming, Wen Luozhi felt relieved and went to the prefectural city. She wanted to visit Wen Zijin and also go to Qingzhou County to see Song Tingwan.

Since moving away from the old courtyard, he has been in a much better mood without He Lingfei's bother.

Wu Ya Zi stretched and waved at him, "You've been studying for so long, I'll give you two days off to have some fun."

After he finished speaking, he hummed a little tune and walked out with his hands behind his back.

A theatrical troupe came a couple of days ago and set up a stage not far from where they were staying.

After finishing his lessons each day, Wu Yazi would take two ounces of wine and some snacks to sit and watch a play, living a carefree and happy life.

When Wen Luozhi went to the place where they used to live, she found that everyone had changed, and she still didn't understand what was going on.

The middle-aged man who bought the yard came over today to furnish it. Seeing her standing at the door looking bewildered, he couldn't help but ask, "Young lady, are you looking for someone?"

Wen Luozhi nodded politely and asked, "Uncle, did the master and apprentice who used to live here move away?"

The middle-aged man looked up and sized her up, noticing that her features resembled Wen Zijin's, and made a guess.

He nodded, naturally not revealing where the person had gone, because Wen Zijin had previously asked him not to tell anyone if someone came looking for them.

"I am Wen Zijin's younger sister, my name is Wen Luozhi."

"I came in such a hurry that I didn't have time to ask my brother if he knew where he moved to."

Wen Luozhi's voice was crisp and clear, and her overall demeanor was extraordinary. She was also very polite in her words and actions. The middle-aged man smiled faintly and glanced to the side.

"Miss Luo Zhi, please come in first; it's not appropriate to talk here."

He whispered something, and Wen Luozhi followed him into the courtyard with a puzzled look on her face.

The middle-aged man poured her a cup of tea, sighed, and then said, "A family moved in next door, and their daughter has been pestering Young Master Wen."

He told Wen Luozhi a lot about how He Lingfei was harassing Wen Zijin, which made Wen Luozhi frown.

"And so, Young Master Wen and Headmaster Wu moved out. I've noticed He Lingfei going out frequently these past few days."

He clicked his tongue twice and said to Wen Luozhi, "They might be going to inquire about where Young Master Wen and the others are staying. Miss, you should be careful not to be followed when you go there."

Wen Luozhi nodded and took some things from the carriage to thank him.

She went to the place where the middle-aged man had been with her, and when she arrived, there was indeed only a lonely little courtyard there.

Wen Zijing raised her hand and knocked on the door. Thinking that Wu Yazi had returned, she got up to open the door.

Upon seeing that it was Wen Luozhi, he quickly invited her into the house, looked around to make sure no one was following before closing the door.

Seeing his cautious demeanor, Wen Luozhi thought to herself that the girl named He Lingfei had caused quite a bit of trouble.

"Why did Luo Luo suddenly come? Did Uncle Zhao tell you I live here?"

Wen Luozhi nodded, then looked around the courtyard and felt that this place was really unfair to her.

"Fifth Brother, since I'm free anyway, how about I find you another place to stay?"

The sunlight doesn't get in here at all. The layout is a bit like Sanli Lane. How can this place be suitable for studying?

And then there's Wu Yazi, it's inconvenient for the elderly to live here.

Wen Zijing shook her head slightly. "Fifth Brother, Uncle Zhao should have told Luo Luo why you came here."

"This place is quite nice; at least it's not easy for people to find."

As he said this, little did he know that He Lingfei had already found out that he was here.

She inquired in the streets and alleys for several days and finally saw Wu Yazi near the stage.

But that old man always had to finish watching the play before going back, and she couldn't wait that long, so she could only use Wu Ya Zi as an excuse to inquire.

She pressed herself against the wall as usual, listening for any sounds inside. She could faintly make out voices, but she couldn't quite make them out.

Hearing footsteps, she quickly found a place to hide. When she looked up, she saw Wen Zijin, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, coming out chatting and laughing with a pretty girl.

She could see through the mystery, because the gentle and warm expression on Wen Zijin's face was something she had never seen before.

"Damn it! Who is this vixen?!" She bit her lip hard as she watched Wen Zijin and Wen Luozhi walk out of the alley side by side.

She followed quietly behind, while Wen Luozhi in front frowned almost imperceptibly and walked forward as if nothing had happened.

"Fifth Brother, it seems you won't be able to decide whether to move."

"Their address has already been discovered."

As they walked out of the alley, Wen Luozhi moved closer to Wen Zijin and said with a hint of helplessness.
