Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Court Opens after 7 Days Receiving everyone’s approval, Yang Chuxia happily nodded, "Mm, as long as it’s delicious, now I have confidence. But Qingrui is right, if the crabs were bigger, it would be even better. We didn’t have the money to buy big ones earlier, but after I negotiate with the restaurant’s owner, we can go buy bigger crabs." "Xiaxia, you’re going to negotiate with the restaurant owner?" Ms. Wang exclaimed. "Yes, when I went to the town today to help Brother An ask for leave from the owner, I mentioned it, and the owner is willing to talk to me." Yang Chuxia thought for a moment and said, "Mom, give me a clean plate; I’ll take some to Grandfather’s house." "Oh, alright." Yang Chuxia took a plateful and delivered it to Land Officer Yang’s house. When she returned, Ms. Wang was already cooking dinner, and the children Qingrui and the others were playing in the house. Seeing this, Yang Chuxia waved to Qingrui, "Big brother, you and little brother mustn’t leave our house in the next few days. I’ll be busy, and sometimes mom will have to go out to pick vegetables or something. You two must stay at home and watch the house. Don’t let some brainless people come in and search our house." "Mm, don’t worry, sister, we won’t go anywhere these days. If anyone dares to be rude, watch me teach them a lesson." "Right, teach them a lesson!" Yang Chuxia watched the two brothers and suddenly felt sweaty. She felt as if she had spoiled the children. They seemed to be developing in her direction. But she still had to educate them, or else these two children would grow up to be fools who only knew how to use force. "Big brother, dealing with our Second Uncle and Ms. Hua Junior, we must be ruthless and using force is okay. But for ordinary people, we must first treat them with courtesy. We must show tenfold kindness to those who treat us kindly, and tenfold revenge to those who treat us badly. In simpler terms, if someone is kind to you, you must be even kinder to them. If someone is bad to you, you must be ten times worse in return. Do you understand?" Qingrui pondered and then said, "I get it, sister. You mean how we treat others depends on how they treat us, right?" "Right, exactly like that." Yang Chuxia approvingly patted Qingrui’s head, "Such a smart boy." "Alright, stop squatting there. Quickly go wash your hands and eat." Ms. Wang finished cooking and saw the siblings squatting there, whispering, so she called out to them. "Alright, coming!" Upon hearing Ms. Wang’s voice, Yang Chuxia and the others hurriedly went to help carry the bowls and chopsticks. After dinner, they all washed up and went to bed early. The next morning, Yang Chuxia went to town as usual but this time she didn’t borrow the ox-cart from Land Officer Yang. Instead, she took a ride on an ox-cart from the neighboring village. Upon arriving in town, she first bought some pork liver and some wood ear mushrooms, then packed up two bowls of noodles before heading to the clinic. When she got to the clinic’s entrance, she saw that Constable Hong was already standing there waiting for her. "Constable Hong!" Yang Chuxia waved from afar. "Ah, it’s good that you’ve come, lass." Constable Hong grinned, "Yesterday, after you asked us to do that favor, we went to the county and found the steward. When the steward heard that the plaintiff used to be a Cultivated Talent, he immediately sympathized with him. He personally went to the Lord County Magistrate of H County, who then agreed to postpone the trial by seven days. By then, the young master should be able to walk a few steps."
