Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 265 The Stable Boy Transforms into a General

Moreover, Xiao Ma had made a big mistake the day before and was punished with a beating.

Xiao Ma was beaten with a cane in front of all the servants.

The housekeeper did this to make an example of someone, to teach everyone a lesson and remind them not to do things they shouldn't.

Little Ma was first punished for making a mistake, and then disliked by the young lady.

It was a foregone conclusion that Xiao Ma would be kicked out of the Jiang family mansion.

So they wanted to play one last trick on Xiao Ma before he left.

Just then, Lao Ma came to them and asked them to help deliver lunch to Xiao Ma, as he was injured and unable to come out.

So they went and bullied Little Horse.

They weren't worried that Xiao Ma would complain.

I've bullied him before, but he's a coward, so it's no big deal if I bully him.

Sure enough, Xiao Ma just endured it himself and didn't dare to complain at all.

Of course, even if he complains, there's nothing he can do about it.

They insisted that they hadn't bullied Xiao Ma, and even turned around and said that Xiao Ma was deliberately slandering them.

The little horse is quite resilient.

The wound on my back has reopened countless times.

It actually grew back to normal.

And despite eating so much stinky stuff, Little Horse didn't get diarrhea or any other problems.

Anyway, Xiao Ma can now walk on the ground, take care of the horses, and drive normally.

Little Horse has returned to its former self, the only changes being its noticeably thinner figure and the deeper hatred in its eyes as it lowers its head.

While the old man was feeding the horses, one of them suddenly got startled and jumped out of the stable.

The horse stepped on the old horse's leg, breaking it.

Old Ma's injury won't heal for at least a month or two.

Moreover, Lao Ma's leg injury is serious, and there may be long-term effects.

Old Ma is already quite old, so his recovery isn't going as well as it used to be.

If you're not careful, you might not be able to do the job of driving a horse-drawn carriage well.

Jiang's father needs someone with him every day when he goes out.

For the time being, Xiao Ma took over Lao Ma's job and drove the cart for Jiang's father.

The Jiang family bought the horse because they only had one groom, who was too busy to manage the job.

Now that Old Ma is injured, and there's only Little Ma as the groom in the manor, he's naturally too busy to manage.

So the butler immediately went to select a new groom.

As for Lao Ma...

After his injury heals, we'll arrange an easy job for him.

After all, he was an elder of the Jiang family.

He has been with Father Jiang for many years.

Moreover, Old Ma is all alone; he has no wife, no parents, and no children.

Considering Old Ma's hard work over the years, Father Jiang was willing to let Old Ma stay at the Jiang residence to live out his retirement.

The steward bought two grooms.

Like the pony, they lived right next to the stables, making it easy to look after the horses at any time.

Old Ma was arranged to change his accommodation by the housekeeper.

The housekeeper called people to help Old Ma move.

The two newly hired grooms came to see the old horse off.

When they first arrived, it was Old Ma who showed them the horses in the stable.

But Xiao Ma didn't even glance at him.

Old Ma was somewhat disheartened.

The horse was perfectly fine when it suddenly got frightened. The old horse suspected that the young horse had done something behind its back.

The horse had always been very docile and was quite familiar with the old horse.

Old Ma went to feed the horse and patted its head, and the horse jumped out like it had gone mad.

He jumped directly onto Old Ma.

If Old Ma hadn't dodged quickly, it wouldn't have been just one foot; he might have stomped on Old Ma's belly.

Later, the horse went mad and was shot dead.

It is said that the horse ate something it shouldn't have, which is why it acted this way.

It was originally Xiao Ma who was feeding the pony that day.

The little horse said it wasn't feeling well and asked the old horse to feed it.

This made Lao Ma suspect that Xiao Ma had done something.

Old Ma didn't really want to believe it, but when Little Ma discovered that his leg had been broken by a horse that day, he actually laughed.

When Old Ma saw Little Ma smile, he felt a chill run down his spine.

He didn't understand why Xiao Ma wanted to kill him.

He could be said to treat Xiao Ma like a son.

These past few days, Xiao Ma has been going out with the master every day, and when he comes back, he comes to him and says some sarcastic things.

What master gave him some snacks? What master asked him to go have some tea?

Old Ma didn't understand why Little Ma was doing this.

However, he had no evidence, so he could only ask the butler to keep an eye on Xiao Ma.

The steward should find an experienced groom.

If possible, find two more, and then find an opportunity to replace Xiao Ma later.

If Xiao Ma can harm him, then can he also harm the master?

Moreover, Xiao Ma's motive for harming him was actually because he had given him a few words of advice earlier.

If this makes Xiao Ma hate him and do such a thing.

Who knows what Little Ma might do if the master scolds him after that?

The housekeeper also took it to heart.

However, all of this is just Lao Ma's speculation, and there is no evidence to suggest that Xiao Ma did it.

However, Xiao Ma's temperament was indeed not suitable for driving for the master.

In the housekeeper's mind, Xiao Ma was an unreliable person.

The steward has hired experienced grooms who can take up their posts after getting familiar with the horses.

This was the day that Mr. Jiang had promised to take the whole family on a trip.

The whole family went out in a lively atmosphere.

The three coachmen all drove the carriage together.

Because we were planning a day trip to the countryside, we brought a lot of things, and also a group of maids and servants.

Springtime is a beautiful time, and many people are out enjoying themselves.

Jiang He noticed a large number of people by the river, some of whom were even using local materials to start a fire and cook outdoors.

Jiang He also wanted to have a picnic here.

There are fish in the river, some people are fishing, and some people are catching fish in the river.

Jiang He watched them catch fish with great interest, even more nervous than when she was catching fish herself.

I caught a fish, I'm so happy.

I was disappointed that I didn't catch any fish.

"Little sister, do you want to catch fish?"

Jiang Tao saw that Jiang He was watching others catch fish and assumed that Jiang He also wanted to catch fish.

However, there are many people here, and it's not convenient for my younger sister, who is a girl, to go into the water. Besides, she's still young, and it would be dangerous for her to go into the water.

"Little sister, if you like, come home and play in the little pond at home."

"Brother, I want to eat fish. Look how plump the fish they caught are. They must taste delicious."

Jiang He blinked at Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao looked at the fish in the river; they seemed quite plump and delicious.

"Little sister, I'll catch some fish for you, so you can have some too."

Jiang Tao saw them holding bamboo baskets, and with a flick of his wrist, he scooped up the fish.

Even more impressively, some people can poke a fish up with just a branch.

Jiang Tao thought it looked easy for them to catch fish, so he figured he could do it too.

I asked the old woman for a bamboo basket to go catch fish.

When Jiang's father saw that Jiang Tao wanted to catch fish, he also became interested and went down to the river with Jiang Tao.

However, catching fish looks easy to others, but it's not so easy to do it yourself.

The father and son spent a lot of time trying, but they couldn't catch a single fish.

Finally, both of them got tired of grabbing and sat down to rest.

As a result, a fish swam into their bamboo basket.

Jiang Tao picked up the basket, and the fish jumped around inside.

"Little sister, I caught a fish! I caught a fish!"

Jiang Tao excitedly ran over and held the fish up to Jiang He's face.

"Brother is awesome!" Jiang He clapped her hands happily and cheered.

Seeing Jiang He so happy, Jiang's father and Jiang Tao felt all their fatigue disappear.

Catching fish is really fun.
