It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 275

The whole transaction took no more than a quarter of an hour. When we walked out into the streets, there were even more people squatting there.

Jiang Yan and the other two huddled together and moved through the crowds on both sides very cautiously.

After shaking off or scaring off several pursuers, he finally stopped in a deserted street.

Jiang Wang sighed deeply: "Life is hard."

Jiang Yan felt the same way. Two or three months ago, the long street was full of vendors, but now it was full of poor people selling their children and themselves.

If she had not been prepared and had not been unlucky, she might have become one of them, or been stranded in a foreign land again.

Next, we have to deal with Jiang Wang’s matter.

Jiang Yan followed the old man around in a residential area until he saw the rat hole he had memorized for the third time. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, where are you going? Let me see if I know the way."

Jiang Wang was a little embarrassed: "Your uncle Jiang Fu's house. I've never walked here before, and I can't get out all of a sudden."

Jiang Yan imagined the direction in his mind, "Then we have to go southwest."

She took a big step to the front row to lead the way, then asked curiously, "A few years ago, when I passed by, I heard that Uncle Jiang Fu's house was rented out to someone else. Has he taken it back and is living in it himself now?"

Since the people of Dongshan Village returned to the village, Uncle Jiang Fu has never appeared again. Aunt Yu Qian and the brother and sister Jiang Yuan and Jiang Nian, who she mistakenly believed to have passed away, are also gone. She still misses them when she mentions them.

Jiang Wang is not quite sure now, but during the migration, Jiang Fu suddenly took the initiative to apply to return to Rongcheng County first. Before leaving, he told Jiang Wang that he could go to his home to find him if he had any problems.

……

After walking for nearly half an hour, Jiang Yan knocked on the door of Jiang Fuji's house, but a strange man came out.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Jiang Fu. Is he here now?"

The man looked inquiringly: "He's not here. What do you want from him?"

Jiang Yan turned around and looked at Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang bowed and said, "There's something urgent in the village that needs to be discussed with him. If you know where he is, please let us know. If it's inconvenient to go there, please call him over for a moment."

The man seemed to be weighing something quickly. Jiang Yan saw his eyes half-roll upwards and then return to their original position before saying, "Go find him at the back door of the county government. Just be frank like you are now."

County government, the back door???

Jiang Yan quietly retracted her right leg, which was standing apart, and at the same time quickly and carefully scanned the whole body of the man in front of her.

This person has the temperament of a writer, or at least an accountant. With such a "civil and military" talent, he even entered the Rongcheng County government...

Her previous guess was too conservative. What's the big deal about the bandits coming down the mountain and cooperating with the county government? Wouldn't it be better to just occupy the county government and become the county magistrate?

Jiang Yan devoted part of his thoughts to immersing himself in the future life under the rule of the bandits, while the other part was focused on the conversation between Jiang Wang and Jiang Fu.

Jiang Wang lowered his voice and said, "I didn't expect you to work for the county government. Do you know anyone there? Who would be best to help Jiang Yan regain her status as a yellow citizen? We can't afford to do much right now."

When buying grain on credit, I remembered how dangerous it was for Jiang Yan to enter and leave the county town during the past six months since his yellow citizenship was restored.

If a ruthless doorman or patrolling yamen runner discovered that he had no identity and did not give his neighbors a chance to testify, he would most likely be thrown into jail on the charge of fleeing the country and then secretly resold to do illegal work.

He had heard of no fewer than five.

Jiang Fu quickly realized the seriousness of the matter and nodded, saying, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go ask."

"Wait!" Jiang Yan called out to Jiang Fu urgently.

Jiang Yan was deeply moved when she heard that Grandpa Jiang Wang had made this special trip just to deal with her yellow registration issue.

But the main reason why she had been avoiding applying for restoration of her status was the possibility of being restored to slavery.

Since Uncle Jiang Fu might know the person who handled the matter, Jiang Yan tentatively asked, "Can I change my identity in the Huang Book?"
