“Did Qingqing cause trouble? Why are so many people following her? Those people don’t look like good people.”
“No way! Those people seem to respect Qingqing quite a lot. They shouldn’t be bad people. Moreover, Qingqing has such a good relationship with the county magistrate. Who would dare to provoke her?”
“That’s true, but it’s hard to say. Who knows…”
Old Man Jian and the others were shocked when they saw dozens of fierce-looking men following the Big Sister.
They quickly ran over to protect her and mustered up their courage to ask loudly, “What are you doing?!”

“The child is still young and insensible. If she has done something wrong, we’ll discuss it properly.”
Jiang Cheng quickly explained, “Master, we have no intention of hurting Miss Jian. We are… the workers that Miss Jian hired.”
Jian Qingqing was very touched that her family was protecting her. She hugged them and said with a smile, “Father, Mother, Grandfather, it’s okay. They are the workers that I hired to help our family dig the potatoes and open up the land.”
Hearing that, the three of them looked at her with a strange expression. They wanted to say something, but it seemed like they were afraid of something.
Old Man Jian tried his best to force out a bitter smile and said, “Well, you guys wait first.”
After saying that, he pulled Jian Qingqing away until they were far away from Jiang Cheng and the others, making sure that no one would hear them.
Then, he said to Jian Qingqing bitterly, “Big Sister! Even if you have money, you shouldn’t spend it like this! How much do you have to spend to hire so many people? That salary is enough to buy a few acres of good land! What waste is there! Aiya… You, you’re really too reckless!”
Jian Qingqing did not dare to say the number of people that were in the house, or else he would definitely pass out.
However, she had to say it, or else he would see them when he went back at noon.
She thought about it and decided to tell the truth.
“Grandfather, actually, those workers were not hired by me. They were sent by the Emperor to help me. Their food and accommodation are covered by the county office, so I don’t need to spend money.”
“What!”
This time, Old Man Jian’s voice was broken. It was as if his mind could not think anymore, and the phrase ‘sent by the Emperor’ repeatedly flashed in his mind.

He did not even manage to catch his breath before he suddenly fainted.
“Grandfather!” Jian Qingqing quickly caught him and pressed her thumb on his body.
She was afraid that her grandfather would faint if she told him that she had hired 200 workers. She did not expect that he would faint if she told him the truth. It seemed that the respect for the Emperor in this era was far deeper than she had imagined.
On the other side, Jiang Cheng, Jian Dalang, and the others saw that Old Man Jian had fainted and quickly ran over.
Jiang Cheng was much faster than Jian Dalang. He knew some medical knowledge and checked Old Man Jian’s pulse. He said, “It’s okay. He was too excited and passed out before he could recover. Just wait.”
In fact, he had heard the conversation between Old Man Jian and Jian Qingqing. Old Man Jian thought that they could not hear it from this distance, but he was a soldier, and he could hear it . Ordinary people might not be able to hear it, but it was very easy for him. He did not expect Old Man Jian to pass out.
Jian Qingqing was in a state of panic. It was dangerous for people of Old Man Jian’s age to experience great joy and great sorrow. It was very dangerous for him to faint like this.
After a long while, Old Man Jian slowly woke up. He glanced at Jiang Cheng who was squatting beside him. Suddenly, he grabbed his hand and said excitedly, “Sir! Did the Emperor really send you here?!”
Jiang Cheng nodded under his expectant gaze. “Sir, you can just call me Jiang Cheng. Now that Miss Jian is my leader, you don’t have to call me ‘sir’.”
