Traveled through time and space to become a widow, and became rich with her three children

Chapter 138 Master of Understanding

Among the four, only Zhang Huai could read.

Zhang Huai said, "Doctor Jin, whether we can read or not seems to have nothing to do with this matter, right?"

Jin Yuyao smiled and said, "I'm just asking casually."

Zhang Huai said impatiently, "Sir, have you agreed to hand over Jin Yuyao?"

Kong Qing said: "Whatever you say is true. You don't know how much you have eaten. Doctor Jin's contribution is obvious to all, but you are blind."

Zhang Huai turned to look at Jin Yuyao: "We, the surnamed Jin, are already here. What do you want to bet with us?"

Jin Yuyao said, "I don't understand a few things and would like to ask you guys."

One of them, Qian Laowu, was unhappy and said, "If you have something to say, just say it now. You won't be able to tell me when we're offering sacrifices to the gods."

Jin Yuyao said calmly, "First, what evidence do you have to prove I brought the locusts here? Second, are you so sure that if I offer sacrifices to the heavens, the locusts will disappear? If you have evidence, it's not too late to offer sacrifices to the heavens. If you can convict me with just a touch of your upper lip, then I can also say that you are guilty. If I offer sacrifices to the heavens, the locusts will disappear."

After saying this, Jin Yuyao looked at the five people below.

The five people looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

The one called Qian Laowu said, "You must have offended the gods. Why are you saying so much? Just come with us immediately."

Jin Yuyao couldn't help but say, "Taking a person's life is nothing to you. I help you fight the locusts every day. Even if I don't get any credit, I still work hard. How can you do this? You are so ungrateful and repay kindness with hatred."

Her words made the entire quiet hall's ears buzz.

Jin Yuyao looked at them and saw that no one had given her an answer and said, "Are you five really not going to tell me anything?"

She saw Zhang Huai with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a moment's silence, Wang Xiaoshui said, "That was said by Master Liaoran of Nanshan Temple. The master is a hermit and very famous in our area. What he said cannot be false."

It was the first time that Jin Yuyao heard of Master Liaoran.

Prince An said, "Master Liaoran, a layman, didn't come to help but instead came up with this idea. I really doubt whether his words of compassion are true or not."

Kong Qing said, "Your Highness, Master Liaoran has been very popular in recent years. I heard that he is an accomplished monk, and many people come to him. I am surprised that he would say such words."

Jin Yuyao said, "Let's not worry about whether Master Liangran's words are true or not. Let's make a bet. We'll set a deadline of fifteen days. If the locusts become fewer and fewer, or even disappear completely, then your rumor will be proven wrong."

At this time, Zhang Huai spoke up: "Doctor Jin is really smart. He didn't say what would happen if he lost."

Jin Yuyao smiled and said, "Didn't you say I was the one who brought you here? Then how about if I lose in fifteen days, I'll do as you say?"

Wang Jingshan stood up and said sternly: "Yuyao, what did you say? Don't agree to it. It will cost you your life. The price they paid for losing is too small."

Jin Yuyao smiled and said, "Of course not. If I'm betting my life on it, they should put theirs on the line too."

After she finished speaking, she smiled and looked at the five people: "How about it? Do you want to choose one person or all five?"

Those people stood up and said, "No, there are five of us, and you are just one."

Jin Yuyao said in embarrassment: "Then you can discuss and see who it is?"

The four men began to get scared. They didn't expect that a woman like Jin Yuyao would be so calm and willing to bet her life with them. Moreover, she acted so calmly as if it wasn't her life that was being betted.

Wang Xiaoshui was the first to say, "I definitely can't do this. My children are still young, and I have an 80-year-old mother."

Zhao Qing also said: "I can't do that either. I have three children at home, and my wife is six months pregnant and will give birth soon."

Sun Xiaoer said: "I am even worse off. I just got engaged and will be getting married in the spring of next year. I am not suitable."

Everyone looked at Sun Xiaoer and said, "What are you talking about? You don't have a wife, no children, and no mother to burden you. You are the most suitable."

Sun Xiaoer took one look and said, "I can't do that either. I... I'm still waiting to get married. It would be a shame if I died without even having a wife."

Now everyone looked at Zhang Huai.

He just looked up and said, "Why are you all looking at me? If you can't do it, then I can. I can't do it either. I have a wife, children and mother at home."

Wang Jingshan spat at the five of them: "You guys all want to win but don't want to pay the price. What are you thinking? You are so shameless."

Several people blushed.

Jin Yuyao said, "That's too unfair. You should nominate someone. Who should it be? It happens that all the adults are witnesses. Let's make a written agreement."

Now the five of them looked at each other, none of them willing to do anything, and there was silence for a while.

Chen Qianhe never expected that the five men who were having the most fun would be worse than a woman when the time really came.

Although Jin Yuyao looked away, she was observing Zhang Huai out of the corner of her eye.

He seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Okay, I'll do it. If we lose, let me go and offer sacrifice to the heavens."

Jin Yuyao said, "Okay, that's how I act like a man."

"Has Lord Kong finished writing? If so, can you ask him to sign it?"

Kong Qing said, "Wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

During this period, Jin Yuyao saw Zhang Huai wiping his sweat from time to time.

Jin Yuyao said, "Zhang Huai, it doesn't feel too hot today. Why do you keep wiping your sweat?"

Zhang Huai said awkwardly, "I'm more afraid of heat."

Wang Jingshan leaned close to Jin Yuyao's ear and said, "Yuyao, it's too late for you to regret now. Lord Kong hasn't finished writing yet. How about I take over? I should protect you."

Jin Yuyao whispered, "It's useless for them to kill you."

Wang Jingshan felt as if his heart had been hurt a thousand times.

Prince An also looked at Jin Yuyao with concern, wanting to say something about the large crowd, while speaking, "Doctor Jin, come here for a moment."

Jin Yuyao followed Prince An outside.

Prince An said anxiously, "Doctor Jin, you don't have to do this. We can find other ways. There's no need to risk your life. If anything happens to you, how will I explain it to Jingshan and our three children?"

Jin Yuyao said calmly, "Your Highness, don't be so anxious. I will tell you my thoughts later. I won't joke with my own life."

Just as Prince An was about to say something, Kong Qing arrived and said, "Your Highness, Doctor Jin has already written it."

Prince An was so angry that he couldn't vent his anger and kicked Kong Qing's family: "It's okay, it's okay. Why are you so anxious? It makes you look bad."
