After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 368 Are you Shi Huai?

The head of the farm was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, and winked at the yamen runners behind him: "Take him back and report to the county magistrate that Mr. Shi has bad conduct and is not worthy of being a Daxia scholar."

Shi Ren was completely terrified: "No, you can't."

He reached out and grabbed the head of the farm, saying, "I am a scholar, and you are just a small constable. You can't do this."

The head of the Nong police looked down at Shi Ren and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Who gave you the guts to slander someone who even the current emperor wants to protect?"

Shi Ren looked at Captain Nong in horror: "No, you must be lying to me."

The head of the Nong police waved his hand irritably and asked the bailiffs behind him to take the man away.

Lu rushed to grab Shi Huai and said, "Brother, please save us. We are a family. You can't just stand by and watch us die."

Shi Huai let Lu hold him, but he didn't say a word and just closed his eyes.

"You old bastard, we are your relatives. If something happens to us, how will you face your parents in the future? Don't forget, we are the ones who have taken care of your parents for so many years." Lu was dragged away by the bailiff.

Shi Huai was still a little shaken after hearing the last sentence. He opened his eyes and looked at Eve's mother: "Mrs. Xiao."

Xia Wanniang looked at the old man beside her: "Tolerance will only bring greater disasters, are you sure?"

Shi Huai had a complicated expression.

Xia Wanniang looked at the three people who were captured and said, "It's not that you didn't support the elderly. You should have sent back all the military pay you received during your military service. It's just that the elderly are not by your side. There's no need to blame yourself."

Shi Huai looked at Xia Wanniang in surprise. How could she know these things?

Xia Wanniang looked at him and said, "Your kindness over the years has encouraged them to be lazy and greedy. Your nephew has become a useless person."

Shi Huai covered his face with his hands in pain, and tears could be seen flowing through the gaps.

The head of the agricultural police force walked up to Xia Wanniang and said, "Mrs. Xiao, please take a look at this matter."

"The title of scholar is not suitable for him, so forget about the other things!" Xia Wanniang looked at the people in the distance.

The head farmers and the police officers knew what to do. Now the prefect had to beg Xia Wanniang to sell grain seeds, so a scholar who was not worthy of his position would naturally not make things difficult for them.

Xia Wanniang did not comfort Shi Huai. She told him to think some things over on his own, as indulgence would only harm them.

Shi Huai was a soldier. After he adjusted his emotions, he wiped the tears from his face, as if nothing had happened.

Take the farmers and constables to choose the horses they need.

Xia Wanniang did not urge him, and asked casually: "Captain Nong, how many yamen runners are there in the yamen?"

The head farmer thought for a moment and said, "Fifty people."

Xia Wanniang: "Do we need to run around everywhere?"

The head of the farm police said: "Well, we have three shifts a day, each with ten people, and ten people can take turns to rest. Ten people have to deal with the affairs of each village. When there is something to do, they have to come back to work during their rest. The number of jailers is smaller, ten people."

Xia Wanniang nodded: "Does everyone have a horse?"

The shop owner waved his hands and said, "No, these horses are precious and cost a lot of money to take care of. The taxes and salaries the yamen used to earn were not enough to support them. Now we only have twelve horses in total, and two of them belong to the county magistrate himself."

Xia Wanniang understood: "So that's how it is!" She looked at Shi Huai again: "Old man Shi, if we order a batch of horses now, when will they arrive?"

Shi Huai said seriously: "It's hard to say, it depends on what kind of horse it is."

Xia Wanniang said nothing and watched Shi Huai and the others pick and choose, and finally picked out only three suitable ones.

The head of the agricultural police force was very happy about this, and he said goodbye to Xia Wanniang while leading the horse.

The people in the market looked at her differently: "Madam Xiao, if you need anything in the future, just come and I will definitely give you the cheapest and best price."

Xia Wanniang smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Shi Huai drove the carriage, with four horses and two cows behind him, and walked slowly towards Liuyang Village: "Madam Xiao, what will happen to my brother and the others?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, the scholar's title will be lost. I won't bother with them about the rest."

Shi Huai was obviously relieved when he heard this.

When Xia Wanniang entered the village, she saw Aunt Xiao working in the fields with Qiu He and the others: "Mother."

When Aunt Xiao saw her coming back, she hurried out from the field. When she saw Shi Huai, she was still a little uncertain: "You, you are Shi Huai?"
