Chapter 863: Their Meal Ticket Ran Away!

Now that he has a job, no matter what he does, he finally has a place to use his skills!Soon, the meal was finished, Tao Hongying led people to clear the table, and Li Laotai was busy finding fabric f...Before Jia Yi even returned home, the old lady had prepared several new sets of clothes, shoes, and socks. When she saw him, the old lady was even more doting on her grandson, where could she possibly have the heart to hit him!

Within half an hour, the food was served.

Jia Huan not only made salt and pepper shrimp and braised shrimp, but also added four new dishes. She also steamed a good amount of minced meat egg custard for her grandmother and son.

The family chatted and laughed happily, enjoying a satisfying meal.

After dinner, Old Li prepared to go home, wanting to heat up the kang for her grandson.

People didn't stop him. The old man had work to be busy with, so he wasn't flustered...

The next morning after breakfast, besides Wenjuan and Wan'er who stayed at home to look after the children, the rest of the Li family took a car back into town.

They didn't care when court dismissed, and they just parked their carriages in front of the side gate of the Office of Metropolitan Administration and waited there.

Luckily, there was a brazier in the carriage to heat tea and warm hands and stomach. With thick clothes on, it wasn't so cold after all.

Those who make a living in the yamen are all shrewd and capable people. There are no fools among them.

With such a grand display, the jailer, upon hearing the news, immediately surmised that Li Jia Yi was about to be released from prison.

So, he hurriedly had people prepare things and opened the cell himself, personally leading Li Jiayi to take a bath. He even found a craftsman to shave his beard for him and re-style his hair.

Once he had put on the cotton robe that Li Jia had brought him, Li Jia Yi looked no different from a wealthy young master strolling down the street.

You wouldn't be able to tell he had spent any time in jail at all.

Back in the cell, Lao Huang stared at his drastically changed companions for a long while, not daring to approach them.

Is this still the childhood friend who fought alongside him and shared chicken legs

Li Jia-yi was amused to laughter, and finally pulled Lao Huang over to sit down beside him, instructing, "Brother, I don't know your background, but I presume you're not some villain."

"And you're so skilled, it's a shame to keep you locked up here. Why not go with me to the south and fight the Japanese pirates That way, all your skills won't be wasted."

Lao Huang yawned, not sure if he hadn't understood or if it hadn't reached his ears.

Jīyì didn't mind, and directly made the decision for him.

"Alright, I'll take that as a yes. You stay here for two more days. Once I wrap up your case, I'll come get you."

Having said that, he patted Lao Huang on the shoulder.

Lao Huang actually went with the flow and lay down, falling asleep directly....

Soon, it was noontime for lunch, and several guards eagerly looked at the door.

Unfortunately, they did not wait for the food basket from the fairy godmother, but instead waited for the magistrate and Li Laosi.

The jailer hurried to open the door and invite Li Jia Yi in.

Li Laosi patted his nephew's back heavily and smiled, "Just now in the court, General Tang presented prisoners of war, and the Emperor was very pleased. He bestowed heavy rewards upon all the soldiers of the Hailan Army."

"You were supposed to be promoted twice, but killing someone on the street, even an escaped criminal, harms the peace of Xin Du. So, your merit cancels out your crime."

"From now on, you should still follow General Tang back to the East China Sea and continue killing pirates and Japanese pirates!"

"Yes, Fourth Uncle," Jia Yi replied with a smile, then faced the palace and knelt down to kowtow.

At last, the uncle and nephew exchanged polite words with the magistrate once more before leaving the jail.

A group of guards involuntarily followed behind, each with a grim expression.

Their date is gone...

In Li Jia's carriage, Jia Yin had half-opened the window. A cold wind blew against her face, making it ache. She lowered her head just about to rub it when Mu Xu said, "We're here!"

Jia Yin quickly raised her head to look, and sure enough, following behind her father was her long-lost third brother.

"Milk, it's my third brother!"

Jia Yin was the first to jump out of the car, and then helped Li Laotai down.

Jiārén, Jiāhuān, Lǐ gē'er, Māo gē'er and Liú Yáng had already run over.

They encircled their home with arms, one patting a shoulder, another throwing a fist bump. Brothers finally reunited, overcome with emotion.

Jia Yizheng was hugging Mao Ge'er when suddenly he saw his grandmother standing opposite him, her face full of tears. He immediately reddened his eyes and rushed over, dropping to his knees with a thump.

"Grandma, my grandson is unfilial and has worried you!"

Li Lao Tai bent over and hugged her grandson, choked for a long time before scolding: "You little brat, do you know grandma is old and can't handle this kind of trouble!

"Grandma doesn't want gold or silver, she just wants all of you to be safe and sound."

"I will never come to this place again!"

"Grandma, I was wrong! I won't do it again, I'm sorry!" Jia Yi hugged his grandma's waist, clearly feeling the old woman trembling all over.

When parents are around, one should not travel far from home.

At this moment, he deeply understood the weight behind these six words.

He was young and full of vigor, with countless ideals and aspirations.

But never thought that the elders behind him, would be so much worry and concern………

"Grandma, it's too cold here. My older brother hasn't eaten yet, let's hurry home. We have plenty of time at home to talk slowly."

Jia Yin feared that her grandmother's health would be harmed. Seeing her aunt and mother wiping their tears, she quickly stepped forward to offer a few words of consolation.

"Okay, okay, home, hurry home!"

As expected, the old woman was heartbroken for her grandson and immediately got into the carriage.

The crowd arrived in a mighty force, and departed just as decisively. Soon, four carriages were speeding out of the city gate.

Of course, Jia Yi rode in the same car as his grandmother. Li Lao Tai held her grandson's hand and saw that he was clean and tidy, with a rosy complexion. It was clear that he hadn't suffered in prison, so she completely put her mind at ease.

Once the feeling of pity had passed, the old woman's temper flared.

She pinched her grandson's arm a few times, but unfortunately, his muscles were like iron lumps, she couldn't pinch him at all.

She switched to pinching his ears and scolded, "You good-for-nothing brat! You came back from the south and didn't even come home. You stayed in town and caused such a big mess!"

"Do you still see me, your grandmother, in your eyes

"

"Have you grown wings and stopped considering yourself a member of the Li family!"

"Ouch, ouch, Grandma, it hurts, it hurts! I was wrong, I know I was wrong!" Jia Yi wished he could apologize with eight mouths. He regretted it in his heart.

I shouldn't have cleaned myself up just now, the more disheveled I look, the better.

That way, Grandma would feel sorry for him a little more, and he wouldn't get pinched…

"Sister, you quickly help me tell them!" Jiayi reached out and tugged at his sister's sleeve for help.

Unfortunately, Jia Yin sat on one side with a smile, munching on potato chips and even shoved one into her brother's mouth. "Brother, I can't help you."

"I can only feed you two chips. You grow strong, and last a little longer!"

"You heartless wretch! I took revenge for you, and this is how you repay me!" Jia Yi felt the pressure on his ears lessen slightly and quickly retorted with his sister.

"Bro, you're still too young. Remember this in the future, always be wary of beautiful women like me because beautiful women are the most vicious and heartless!" Jia Yin kicked her legs up, crunching on chips with a loud crackle.

Li Laotai finally couldn't help it, she let go of her grandson and turned to give her granddaughter a tap, laughing and scolding: "You're so young, what do you know about being a woman If someone else hears you say that, they'll think you have no manners!"

Jia Yin giggled, just about to act cute, when the driver in front suddenly shouted, “Watch out!”

The carriage came to a sudden stop!

Jia Yin wasn't prepared and bumped into the wall, the potato chips in her hand scattered like celestial maidens scattering flowers all over Lao Li...
