Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 503: Parting with You

An Yue held back her tears, nodded, and responded: "Well, I'll wait for you."

Gu Qinglian joked with the maid beside her: "Look, it must be the sweetheart who has arrived, smiling so happily."

The maid smiled and responded, "Madam is right! Our young master and young lady are so in love with each other, it's really enviable to see them!"

Gu Qinglian stood behind them and did not go forward to disturb them. She just watched them being affectionate from afar.

......

After saying goodbye, An Yue had a brief chat with Gu Mingchuan's aunt Gu Qinglian.

Then he drove the carriage back to his house.

An Yue returned home and sat looking at the hairpin that Gu Mingchuan had given her, recalling every moment she had spent with Gu Mingchuan.

Everything seemed like a dream.

But now that he is gone, it's time to wake up from the dream.

As the days go by, An Yue is still busy with her life.

She is still managing the business of several shops diligently and taking good care of An Nian.

Life is still trivial and complicated, but my heart is full of expectations.

She believed that Gu Mingchuan would definitely come back.

We are busy every day and time always passes by in a flash.

Before I knew it, several months had passed.

Now is the season of spring plowing and summer planting again.

A few months ago, I heard the county magistrate Qi Hongda privately tell An Yue that those who were exiled to the northwest to serve hard labor would soon be back.

Until yesterday the government posted a notice.

They said that their families should go to the government office to claim their relatives.

If people who had completed their labor service were not claimed by anyone, they would be sold to pawnbrokers.

After An Yue learned the news, she immediately asked A'er to drive the carriage back to the village.

I brought my grandmother, my aunt and my sister-in-law Meng Xiuer to the county town.

When my grandmother and the other two learned that they were coming back, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night.

The next day, they rushed to the county town from Shijing Town early in the morning.

After Ale brought three generations of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to the Malatang shop in the county town.

An Yue successfully met up with them and went to the yamen with them.

They hurried to the gate of the yamen, where many people had already gathered.

Everyone stared at the gate of the yamen, their faces full of anticipation.

Grandma's hands were trembling slightly, and her eyes were full of anticipation and joy.

My aunt-in-law kept pacing, muttering to herself, praying for their safe return.

Sister-in-law Meng Xiuer was holding Xiaobao's hand, and her expression was also worried.

Finally, the door of the yamen slowly opened.

A group of people doing forced labor came out one by one, led by officials.

The officers called out the names of the people, and the corresponding family members went over to claim them one by one.

After a long time.

Their hearts were in their throats. They saw that all the people who had served their labor had come out, but the three generations of the An family were the only ones missing.

At this moment, An Yue suddenly remembered what the county magistrate had said to her two years ago.

My heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

She whispered to herself: [Could it be that they really died of illness in the northwest?]

My aunt, grandmother and sister-in-law started to panic.

Grandmother Zhou held An Yue's hands with both hands and asked anxiously, "Yue Yue, why didn't you see them?"

"Yes, yes. So many people have come out. Where are they?"

An Yue quickly comforted her aunt and the others: "Grandma, aunt, sister-in-law, don't worry for now, I will go and find out what's going on."

Sister-in-law Meng Xiuer frowned and held Xiaobao's hand and said, "Okay, okay, we'll wait for you here."

An Yue walked into the gate of the yamen and spoke briefly to the officers.

The officer walked inside, leaving Anyue standing alone at the gate.

After a while, the police came out.

Afterwards, the officer led An Yue inside.

An Yue came to the backyard of the yamen.

From a distance, I could see three people kneeling in front of Magistrate Qi.

An Yue walked closer and saw that it was her grandfather An Chengde, her uncle An Tiancai, and her cousin An Qing.

The three of them knelt on the ground, their bodies shaking with fear.

An Yue recognized them at a glance.

But now, their hair is as thin as grass, they are skinny, and their clothes are tattered.

When Magistrate Qi saw An Yue coming, he smiled and asked, "Yue Yue is here?"

When An Yue saw the Magistrate of Qi County, she began to kneel down and salute.

"I, An Yue, greet you, my Lord."

Before An Yue could kneel down, she was helped up by Qi Hongda, the magistrate of Qi County.

When the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren who were kneeling on the ground heard that it was An Yue, they all tilted their heads slightly and looked over.

The three of them looked shocked.

Qi Hongda said with a smile: "Yueyue, it has been several years, and I have told you many times that you don't have to kneel down to greet me when you come to see me."

"Sir, I dare not. I came here today to ask you for something."

"Oh? Tell me, what's going on?"

An Yue looked at the three people kneeling on the ground and said, "I wonder if you can release them and let them go home with me?"

After hearing this, Qi Hongda laughed and said, "Haha, I thought it was something else! It turns out to be this!"

"Yueyue, you came at the right time. I called them to the backyard because I was afraid that you would not be able to come. I wanted to wait for you to claim them so that I would not have to send them to the dental clinic."

After hearing this, An Yue smiled happily.

An Yue bowed slightly and thanked him, "Thank you for your consideration, sir. Thank you very much."

------

At this time, several people who were waiting for them to go out outside the yamen gate were extremely anxious.

Grandmother Zhou cried and slapped her legs, asking, "Why don't they come out yet?"

Aunt Zhang supported her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, Yueyue has gone in. Let's wait a little longer."

Meng Xiuer raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, then took Xiaobao to Zhou.

Comforting her, "Yes, grandma, let's wait and we'll know when Yueyue comes out."

......

The Qi County Magistrate gave a lecture to the three people who were kneeling on the ground.

Finally, he said in a cold tone: "All three of you get up!"

"Yes, sir." The three answered in unison.

Then, An Qing and An Tiancai helped An Chengde up.

The three of them looked at An Yue in front of them, then glanced at Magistrate Qi beside them, and they seemed to want to say something but stopped themselves.

The Qi County Magistrate said to them again: "You three must abide by your duties in the future and don't make foolish mistakes again."

The three of them bowed their heads and said earnestly, "The criminals will follow your instructions."

Then, the Magistrate of Qi County said to An Yue: "Yueyue, take them back!"

An Yue bowed her head slightly and said respectfully, "Yes, sir."

Then, An Yue slowly stepped forward and said softly, "Brother An Qing, follow me!"

"Okay..." An Qing's eyes are now full of vicissitudes and decadence.

An Yue and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren all bowed to the county magistrate before turning around and preparing to leave.

Under the guidance of the official, An Qing and An Tiancai supported An Chengde and walked in front.

An Yue was walking alone behind, and had not taken many steps far.

Qi County Magistrate shouted:
