After wearing it: I traded a pig for a man.

Jiang Ningyun turned around and walked towards Old Lady Zhang: "I am neither you nor Old Lady Zhang, I would not be so disrespectful to a young girl."

Zhang Shu pondered for a brief two seconds, then turned and walked home.

"Zhang Hansheng," Jiang Yun Ning looked at the mother and son in front of her, "Do you know that abusing a child is something you can report to the authorities?"

Zhang Hansheng clutched his stomach, his face contorted with rage: "She's my own daughter, I can do whatever I want with her."

Jiang Yunning's expression was serious: "I'm giving you a chance. Divorce and sever all ties. From now on, Daya and Wang Qingqing will have nothing to do with your Zhang family."

"No! Forget about it. I'm going to take that bitch Wang Qingqing back and torture her properly." Zhang Hansheng spat fiercely.

Jiang Yun Ning nodded: "Okay, then I'll take them to the county government tomorrow. Then you'll know what crime child abuse is. And how long can a mother who sells people carry her child be imprisoned?"

Zhang Shu has a contract of servitude signed and sealed by Old Lady Zhang, so she can't do anything about it.

However, since Old Lady Zhang secretly bought and sold her own granddaughter, she should at least be sentenced to a year and a half.

"Hansheng".

Among the people who came with Old Lady Zhang was an older man who quietly tugged at Zhang Hansheng's clothes and whispered, "Selling a child behind the mother's back will really land you in jail."

Unless, of course, Wang Qingqing's consent can be obtained.

Grandma Zhang was stunned: "What? I'm Daya's biological grandmother, and Hansheng is her biological father!"

Jiang Che explained very carefully: "Grandparents who buy and sell children without the birth mother's consent are punished with seventy strokes of the cane. Daya is under ten years old, so according to the law, she will be punished more severely."

Grandma Zhang remained silent, turning to look at her clansmen beside her, seemingly asking if it was true or not.

The man nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Son," Old Mrs. Zhang said, somewhat frightened, "why don't we sever ties? I'm so old, if I'm really beaten seventy times, I'll die."

Zhang Hansheng frowned, somewhat indignant.

"We already have five taels of silver, let's know when to stop," she said.

Zhang Hansheng looked up at Jiang Yunning, whose face was cold, and gritted his teeth: "Fine! I'll get a divorce! I'll sever all ties."

Soon, Zhang Shu returned with Da Ya, carrying paper and pen.

"Da Ya!" Wang Qingqing dropped the wood-chopping knife in her hand with a clatter and rushed over to hug Da Ya. "Mother's here, Mother's here, Mother's too late."

Daya's voice was hoarse from crying, and she clung tightly to Wang Qingqing's waist with her little hands, silently shedding tears.

Jiang Che took out paper and pen, wrote a divorce agreement and a letter of severance of ties, and handed them to Jiang Yun Ning. He then continued to write the recipe for ice jelly.

Jiang Yuning picked up the wood-chopping knife and wiped it on Zhang Hansheng's fingers.

"Ah!" Zhang Hansheng cried out in pain.

"Press your fingerprint." Jiang Yun Ning was still holding a knife in his hand. Zhang Han Sheng didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly pressed his fingerprint on the knife.

Old Mrs. Zhang swallowed hard, then helped Zhang Hansheng leave in a hurry. She was terrified that if they were even a moment too late, the five taels of silver would be stolen.

The recipe was exchanged for Da Ya's indenture. Zhang Shu glanced at Jiang Yun Ning, then turned and left.

"Yun Ning." Wang Qingqing and Da Ya knelt down immediately, "Thank you, thank you!"

Jiang Yunning quickly helped her up: "Sister Qingqing, what are you doing?"

She didn't actually have much affection for Wang Qingqing; she did this only for her uncle and poor Daya.

As for the recipe, she actually knew it in her heart. Making ice jelly was too simple; even if she didn't tell him, Zhang Shu could figure it out himself if he calmed down and studied it for a few days.

Jiang Anhe had been carried onto the oxcart by Jiang Che from the beginning and sat obediently. Only after seeing that the matter was resolved did she climb down.

"Auntie." Jiang Anhe took Jiang Yunning's hand, looked at Daya, and took out a piece of candy from her pocket: "Eat this. It will stop you from crying."

Jiang Yun Ning patted his head: "This is Sister Daya. You should call this one Auntie."

Jiang Anhe nodded obediently and called out to each of them in turn.

Today's ice jelly didn't sell, but at least it helped Daya escape her misery.

When they got home, Jiang Yuntian and the others were still busy building the house, and the women were processing the seeds for making wooden steamed buns.

When Wang Cuihua saw Wang Qingqing and Daya, she was stunned for a moment. When she saw that Wang Qingqing was only wearing one shoe, she knew that something must have happened.

"Anhe, go and call your grandfather and great-uncle back." Wang Cuihua sent Jiang Anhe to run the errand.

"Qingqing, drink some water." Liu Yuzhi brought over two bowls of sweet soup, giving one to Wang Qingqing and the other to Daya.

Daya had no recollection of Wang Cuihua and the others, and shrank into Wang Qingqing's arms in fear.

"Da Ya, have some water. This is your aunt's house, don't be afraid." Wang Qingqing sniffed and fed Da Ya half a bowl of sugar water.

Soon, Wang Dashan and the others ran back.

"Qingqing, my daughter!" Wang Dashan ran ahead, leaving Wang Erlin and the others far behind.

As soon as Wang Qingqing saw him, she couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.

After she had cried enough, she told everyone what had happened recently.

"The mother and daughter forced me to go home and ask for money, but I refused, so Zhang Hansheng beat me..."

"What! He dared to hit you? And even sold Da Ya?" Wang Dashan clenched his fists in anger and paced back and forth anxiously.

Upon seeing the hoe placed by the wall, he picked it up, ready to fight Zhang Hansheng to the death.

"Uncle, the matter has been resolved. If you go and injure someone again, you'll go to jail." Jiang Yun Ning quickly blocked the door; she understood Wang Da Shan's feelings at that moment.

Just like when she saw Jiang Anhe lying motionless on the ground after being beaten by Jiang Mancang.

Jiang Che and Jiang Yuntian rushed up and hugged him, holding him back tightly, but Wang Dashan used his brute strength to drag the two of them forward half a meter.

"Let go! Let go of me! I'm going to kill this family of beasts!" Wang Dashan couldn't hear anything at this moment.

"Brother," Wang Erlin snatched the hoe from his hand, "If you kill them, you'll have to pay with your own life. What about Qingqing, Daya, and your sister-in-law? How will they live in the future?"

Daya was so frightened that she cried loudly, and Wang Cuihua held her in her arms and kept comforting her.

"Dad, I'm divorced now, and Daya is mine. I don't ask for anything more; I'm already very content." Wang Qingqing sniffed and took Wang Dashan's hand.

After he calmed down, the whole family sat down together again.

After dinner, Jiang Che drove the oxcart and took them back home.

After all that commotion, Jiang Yun Ning had completely forgotten about the Qingshan Academy cafeteria incident. It wasn't until she was half asleep that she remembered she hadn't told her family about it yet.

According to her plan, she was prepared to take over.

The soap business couldn't be interrupted, and although the recipe for ice jelly was given to Zhang Shu, it wouldn't hinder her supply. Besides, selling ice jelly would be even more convenient once the cafeteria was taken over.

If we want to run the dry cafeteria, we'll need to find someone else to help us.

Thinking this, I gradually drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Jiang Yuning prepared to take a stroll through Xie's general store.

I've been busy with making ice jelly and building a house lately, so I haven't checked on the soap business for a long time.

First, they took Jiang Anhe to the academy, then delivered ice jelly to Baiweixuan and Zuixianlou, and also left the oxcart at the backyard of Baiweixuan.

As we walked to Xie's shop, there weren't many people there yet; they were just small groups of two or three.

Jiang Yuning looked around and found that most of the items inside were practical, ordinary soaps. Among the ten large trays, only one tray contained twenty or thirty flower-shaped soaps.

It's clear that consumption in the town is primarily driven by practicality, unlike in the county seat where gift-boxed soaps sell better.

"Boss, give me a bar of osmanthus soap." Jiang Youcai and Zhou Yulan stepped across the threshold and called out to the shop assistant.

Zhou Yulan's eyes were haughty: "Wrap it up nicely, this is going to be given as a gift."
