Chapter 424: Being Upright Fears No Shadow
e finite. We can't overfish and deplete them. Sustainable development is key, isn't itAt the same time she was busy as could be, inside the house, Sun Shi and Tuo Ba Xian were not idle either.>Not onl...As long as we stick together, our lives will definitely get better and better!
"Yes, as long as we stick together, life will definitely get better and better!" Yang Ruqing said.
Three pairs of hands clasped tightly together, three hearts, also nestled closely together.
The customs of Changping Village are such that the 24th night is considered a big one.
Tonight, I will be breaking my usual habit of eating congee.
Yang Ruqing fried two vegetarian and one meat dish, a total of three dishes, and served them on the table.
Lotus root, Chinese cabbage, and dry-pot tripe.
Yang Huazhong opened a bottle of wine, and the whole family gathered around the table, ready to have a good dinner.
Just then, hurried and dissonant footsteps came from outside.
"Third Brother, something big has happened!"
Yang Huazhou ran in with a look of fear on his face.
"What happened Tell me slowly!"
Yang Huazhong put down the wine jar and said.
Yang Huazhou, panting, waved his hand and said: "The county guards have arrived. The village head is leading them toward the backyard..."
"What"
Yang Huazhong suddenly stood up.
Sun Shi's face turned pale with shock.
Yang Ruqing was also startled and stood up.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As if it had been planned, the local official was already leading two constables into the house.
At the back, Lao Yangtou, Yang Huainan and all of them came.
One by one, their faces were etched with panic and anxiety.
He pointed at Yang Huazhong in the room and said to the two impassive constables, "Constable sir, this is Yang Huazhong. Their tofu is exclusively supplied to Juwei Xuan Restaurant."
One of the constables nodded and brought out a wanted poster to show them.
"The criminal Yang Huazhong, according to his confession, caused food poisoning by selling moldy tofu. The County Magistrate has ordered us to arrest you and bring you back for judgement."
As soon as the words left his mouth, two guards took a step forward.
With a chain, he pulled Yang Huazhong up and walked away.
Yang Huazhong only then came to his senses.
He struggled and shouted loudly, "Two officers, you must have made a mistake! My tofu business is honest and fair..."
The constable gave Yang Huazhong a cold glance and said,
"We are just following orders. These official documents are in black and white. If you have any grievances, go plead your case to the county magistrate!"
After saying that, she pulled herself up and walked away.
“Father...”
"Father..."
"Third Brother..."
Suddenly, the room was in chaos. Mrs. Sun wanted to chase after him, but when he stood up, her vision went black.
I fainted in Bao Suyun's arms.
Dā'ān xiǎo'ān had never seen such a scene and were frightened into tears.
This is just a test.
Lao Yangtou and Yang Huanan were both pale with alarm and chased after him.
The constable apprehended people, and no one dared to stop him.
Unless you want to reverse.
Yang Ruqing came to her senses.
He didn't bother to comfort the two younger brothers who were crying in the kitchen, nor his fainted mother.
She clenched her fists and chased out of the kitchen.
At this time, the two constables had already dragged Yang Huazhong to the front yard of Old Yang's house.
Both inside and outside the house, the village was packed with people come to see the spectacle.
Everyone was speculating about what Yang Laosan had done to warrant such a drastic action from the authorities. They were even arresting him during Xiaodai's visit!
Yang Ruoqing pushed through the crowd and ran to the two officers, panting and stopping before them.
"Please wait, two officers." she said.
The two constables glanced at the girl blocking their way, frowning impatiently and saying, "Get out of our way, don't obstruct our duty!"
Yang Ruqing caught her breath and smiled apologetically at them.
"I dare not delay the two officers on their official business. However, it's cold and icy today, so I hope you two will stay warm on your journey."
"This little bit of money is all we need for a whole family to laugh and be happy with you both. It's enough to buy some drinks to warm us up."
She leaned closer and slipped a string of copper coins into the hands of each of the two guards.
It's easy to get rid of big ghosts, but small ghosts are hard to deal with.
Now that Yang Huazhong has left, his life safety rests solely in the hands of these two constables.

Every penny counts!
Two constables exchanged glances.
Both of them secretly weighed the heavy copper coins in their hands, there should be half a catty!
Both of them smiled knowingly, thinking that this young girl seemed to have a knack for things.
One of them smiled at Yang Ruqing and said, "You're a sensible young girl, knowing how hard we work."
The two men glanced at Yang Huazhong again and said to Yang Ruqing, "You go back first. Someone will notify you when the trial begins."
Yang Ruqing nodded and glanced at Yang Huazhong again.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“Father, don’t panic. We are innocent. I will definitely find a way to get you out!” she said in a low voice.
The man's face was full of anxiety, but he still nodded vigorously.
“Being upright, one fears not an oblique shadow. Father fears nothing. Qing'er, you must take good care of your mother and two younger brothers!” he instructed.
>
Yang Ruqing nodded. "Father, please rest assured."
As the two constables escorted Yang Huazhong away, villagers still gathered at the doorstep of Old Yang's house, refusing to disperse.
There was a heated discussion, with people saying all sorts of things.
The wife of Chen the butcher shouted in the crowd, "These people who do business, especially those who sell food, their conscience must be placed right in the middle of their hearts!"
"That black-hearted thing, feeding it to people, wouldn't it spoil Has this caused a commotion now"
A few women on the sidelines were chiming in.
“Fortunately, we didn't buy tofu from her family. Otherwise, something would have happened now...”
Yang Ruohua frowned, having no time to argue with these gossipy women.
She turned and went into the room.
Old Yang was talking anxiously with the village head about this matter.
Seeing her coming, Old Yang rushed over with a fierce look and questioned her: "What are you guys up to Just now I heard your village head uncle say that the poisoned diner was a guest at the county magistrate's banquet!"
"He almost didn't make it! The treatment took so long."
"Oh my God, this is a big mess now. The third one is in jail! What are we going to do" Lao Yang was in a panic, like an ant on a hot stove.
Yang Hualin scratched his ears and rubbed his chin: "It's fine if the third brother goes to jail, but who knows if our whole family will suffer!"
Upon hearing this, the Yangs—Yang Huaming and Liu shi, who had been gloating nearby—
One by one, faces drooped and they grumbled curses there.
Li Zheng and several elders from the village were also filled with worry.
If there were such a dishonest businessman in our village, not only would he offend the government but also ruin his reputation among all the surrounding villages.
>
It's not just his old Yang family that's been implicated, but the whole Changping Village as well.
Blades-like gazes shot from all directions towards Yang Ruqing.

She was like a sinner for all ages.
He/She should be paraded through the streets and pelted with rotten eggs!
Yang Ruqing did not go to explain to these people.
They explained it, but they didn't understand either.
This won't make any real difference either.
Let them speculate and gossip as they please.
All she needed to do right now was to soothe her mother and two younger brothers.
Next, it's about rescuing!

She hurried back to the backyard.
Mrs. Sun had a strip of cloth on her head and was lying half-reclined on the bed.
He's still struggling to get down.
"Su Yun, let me go! I'm going to chase after Lao San..."
Son urgently said.
But Bao Suyun refused to let go.
"Third Sister-in-law, you fainted twice just now. Qinger went to chase after her. You need to lie down and rest..."
Bao Suoyun advised.
