That evening, the Yang family held an extremely solemn family meeting, the contents of which were known to no one.

Moreover, Yang Mengchen ultimately showed concern for the situation of her maternal grandparents' household. After investigating, she found that among the dozen or so young men, aside from the three who indeed had followed Xiong Lizheng in committing numerous crimes and had been punished, the rest were released from the county jail after being detained from three months to half a year.

They could not be said to have completely reformed, but they dared not commit offenses any longer, let alone appear before Yang Mengchen and the Yang family. Their families also became very honest.

As for the fate of Xiong Wang's family, Yang Mengchen did not inquire.

After this incident, the people of Yangliu village became even more united and vigilant. Not to mention outsiders, even the few households in the village with ill-intentions, as well as visitors from neighboring villages, were particularly careful.

The village head and Lizheng discussed with the villagers and formed a patrol team. Accompanied by Xiao Bai's wolf descendants, they patrolled the village every twelve hours, and in case of an emergency, they would beat the drums and gongs to alert the entire village.

The next day, Yang Mengchen, Yang Chengning, and Long Xuanmo went to Changxin Broker. Among the forty-odd servants they bought this time, twenty could farm.

Old Master Luo and his wife, along with Luo Jingyao, were preparing to visit the Yang family. Yang Mengchen told Doctor Luo about the Xiong Lizheng matter, and Doctor Luo immediately stated that he would handle the follow-up issues, telling Yang Mengchen not to worry.

Yang Mengchen and her group returned home in a grand procession.

The rice in the fields had already been harvested. Yang Mengchen and Yang Chengrong, along with Ren Xiao'an and the twenty servants skilled in farming, went to the fields. The siblings instructed the servants to till the good earth as required, preparing for another planting.

The villagers who saw them were very curious. Yang Mengchen did not hide the fact that she was experimenting with planting rice again. Everyone repressed their excitement and came to help, hoping with great anticipation that the experiment would succeed. After returning, they also informed others to keep the secret strictly, to prevent incidents like that with Xiong Lizheng from happening again.

After lunch, Long Xuanmo told Yang Mengchen that he needed to return to the capital to deal with some matters, and then he left with Mo Lei and Mo Yun.

That morning, in the Luo family's sideyard, Old Master Luo and Long Xuanmo spent nearly half an hour in the study. Yang Mengchen guessed that Old Master Luo had said something to Long Xuanmo, which was why he hurried back to the capital, although she did not deliberately inquire about it.

After the busy rice planting work was done, Yang Chengrong was put in charge of the management tasks, and Yang Mengchen appointed Ren Xiao'an as the steward, assisted by the other servants to support Yang Chengrong.

That day, when Yang Mengchen had a slight respite, she instructed Hai Tang to summon Uncle Heng to Mengchen Courtyard.

"Miss, please command me," Uncle Heng said respectfully.

Having worked for several famous families, he had never seen someone as intelligent, capable, and benevolently minded as the Miss, especially since she was a girl not yet eleven years old. He admired her sincerely and felt fortunate.

Yang Mengchen smiled and said, "I have called you here for no other reason but to talk about Shao Yao's leg." She was very satisfied with Uncle Heng and his daughter.

"Miss?"

Uncle Heng looked up at Yang Mengchen in surprise and immediately realized that this was extremely disrespectful to the Miss. He quickly lowered his head again, his heart filled with trepidation.

Shao Yao stood respectfully behind Yang Mengchen, her right hand touching her right leg, her eyes filled with bitterness and sorrow.

"Uncle Heng, rest assured, Shao Yao will stay by my side until she grows up and gets married," Yang Mengchen said soothingly, noticing Uncle Heng's hands clenched into fists at his sides, his large frame trembling slightly. "What I want to say is, I have examined Shao Yao's leg. It's the way it is now because it wasn't set properly at the time and was not treated correctly."

Uncle Heng nodded helplessly.

At that time, to treat Shao Yao's mother's illness, all the family's savings had been spent. After Shao Yao's accident, he scrambled to borrow money to call upon a doctor.
