Chapter 25： justify itself

Chapter 25 justifies itself

"Let me do it."

Li Ce asked, and then got up.

"Leave you a meal, how can I bother you to do this again."

As soon as Chu Nanzhi finished speaking, Lin Jinxiao in the back room also heard the conversation between the two, and a weak voice came out immediately:

"Sanlang, please bring some food in."

Both of them looked a little embarrassed.

Li Ce looked at Chu Nanzhi embarrassingly, put some food in a bowl in panic, and said with a stiff smile, "Sister-in-law, you eat first, I'll feed brother Jinxiao."

Chu Nanzhi didn't argue anymore, even though she was always thinking of him, the guy inside still looked awkward at her.

Anyway, it’s hard work, so it’s good for someone to share it.

She ate on her own, and the four little guys knew that Dad was fine, so they were in the mood to whisper together at this moment.

Erbao Lin Ruixi leaned close to Dabao and muttered, "Brother, when did bad women learn how to heal people?"

Dabao also finds it very strange that the doctors who were invited to the house in the past gave a lot of money to others, but today the old doctor not only does not take money, but also gives money to the bad woman.

They had never seen anything so strange.

What's more, the medicine that the bad woman rubbed on him just now, his back pain is not so hot now.

Sambo Lin Ruichong was a little worried, so he approached Dabao and Erbao, and whispered, "Will bad women lie to us?"

"I don't think so."

Dabao bit his chopsticks, thinking for a while: "The doctor's grandfather gave the bad woman money, and also asked her to cure people."

"Why did that bad woman suddenly treat us so well, and she seems to have become very powerful, I'm afraid she will catch up with Dad."

Erbao Lin Ruixi thought of the clumsy woman who could only lose her temper and beat others, and felt incredible.

At this time, Chu Nanzhi was recalling the scene where a rabbit hit a tree on the back hill today.

She has seen bizarre things, but she has never seen such evil ones.

Is it really just pure luck?

When I came back to my senses, I saw a few little guys whispering, I don't know what they were whispering.

There is no need to ask Yuan Fang, she can guess that the little guys are talking about her.

She tapped lightly on the table with her chopsticks: "Eat well when you eat, what are you doing whispering, there are no rules at all."

When the little treasures heard the sound, they immediately stopped discussing and buried their heads to continue eating.

After feeding Lin Jinxiao, Li Ce came out and happily sat down in his original seat, smiling from ear to ear:

"I see that brother Jinxiao's face looks much better. I was really scared to death just now. My sister-in-law is really amazing. I didn't know that my sister-in-law is proficient in medical science."

Glancing at Chu Nanzhi, he hesitated to speak.

Hesitated for a moment, then he continued suddenly: "On the way to send the old doctor off, the old man asked me that he didn't think my sister-in-law was a capable person the last time I came to the house, but today it opened his eyes."

Although he tried his best to show a natural demeanor, he did not let her realize his true intentions.

But Chu Nanzhi saw through his scheming at a glance:

This guy is questioning himself.

It's like a different person after feeding a meal, I'm afraid he has a mission on his shoulders.

In the past few days, she tried to hide her clumsiness as much as possible and not show her sharpness, but when the crisis came, she had to show her true ability, and it was impossible for her to completely stand by and watch everything like the original owner.

After thinking about it for a while, she pretended to be embarrassed and replied: "Actually, I'm afraid you won't want to hear this matter."

Looking at the inner room, she deliberately raised the volume: "When I was chatting with that Taoist Ximen before, I heard him mention some folk remedies for saving lives and healing the wounded. I just heard that prescription from the Taoist."

Happily smiling, she said again: "It's useless to rot in the stomach anyway, since the old doctor is willing to give money, I'll tell him."

Taoist Ximen has already burped, they will never confront the dead.

"Well, the little Taoist priest even regarded the county magistrate as a guest of honor, and he is indeed a bit magical."

Li Ce heard her say that it was taught by Taoist Ximen, and he had no doubts in his heart.

Although that guy has a wicked mind, he is indeed quite talented. Both he and Lin Jinxiao know this.

But he still had other doubts in his mind, so he asked again cheekily: "I think my sister-in-law is also good at investigating doubts and solving cases. Presumably, she often listens to that Taoist talk about the county government, right?"

"Hehehe."

Chu Nan Zhi smiled but didn't.

She is a person from a police academy, and she has learned systematic professional knowledge, so why should she ask a little Taoist for advice.

However, he was able to think about it in this way, and saved himself the trouble of looking for reasons, and then replied frankly: "I have indeed heard of it."

As for whether the two had an affair, they never mentioned it.

After all, she was willing to expose the little Taoist priest for Lin Jinxiao. From this point of view, Li Ce believed that the woman was innocent.

Chu Nanzhi knew that it would not be good for her to bring up this matter, but catching thieves, taking stolen goods, catching traitors and taking doubles, things without evidence will only be reduced to gossip.

If you want to continue to engage in detective work in the future, it is inevitable that you will show up from time to time.

She had to find a plausible argument for herself.

Every gain must be lost, she doesn't care about those gossips.

If a person cannot withstand gossip and ups and downs, how can he become a strong person.

Looking at Li Ce, she forced a smile, and said slowly, pretending to be earnest:

"Actually, your sister-in-law and I are lazy on weekdays, but that doesn't mean I'm really stupid. I'm no worse than you guys when I'm smart. I think I was forced out by this crisis."

"Yes, yes, sister-in-law's ability is obvious to all."

Li Ce laughed with relief:

"No matter what outsiders say, I believe in my sister-in-law. Brother Jinxiao is the eldest brother I recognize. He treated me well since childhood and found me such a good job in the county government. I am grateful that my family doesn't have to go hungry. He, my life belongs to him, my sister-in-law saved my elder brother, which is equivalent to saving me, she is my reborn parents, and you will all be my relatives from now on."

These words moved Chu Nanzhi very much.

In fact, there are not many people like their couple in the whole village.

No wonder Lin Jinxiao trusted him so much.

In the back room, Lin Jinxiao heard their conversation clearly.

Thinking about it carefully, I seem to think that what she said makes some sense.

Just hearing the name of Taoist Ximen, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

But she got rid of the little Taoist with her own hands after all.

No matter what her purpose is, this is an indelible fact.

After dinner, Chu Nanzhi packed the remaining mushrooms and rabbit meat for Li Ce to take back, and cleaned up the kitchen.

For the freshly bought vegetables, she set up a small shelf in the cold and damp place of the kitchen, placed all the vegetables on it, and put a basin of cold water under it. Although it is not as good as the refrigerator to keep fresh, it can barely hold a few taels day, it will not wither immediately.

Calculate the remaining silver, plus the taels of gold, the total is one hundred and fifteen taels.

This is already very rich for ordinary people, even if they don’t work hard, it is enough to eat for several years.

The next day, the old doctor sent someone to send the remaining hundred taels of silver, as well as some valuable medicinal herbs and ten sticks of old ginseng, which made Chu Nanzhi have some new plans.

She decided to find some time to go to the ready-to-wear store in the county to buy some new clothes for the family.

The four little guys are actually delicate and charming, but they wear tattered clothes all day long, so they will inevitably be disgusted by others.

She plans to send some of the remaining money to Liu Yun's family in a few days, and check on the physical condition of the original owner's father.

But thinking about that son-in-law of the Chu family, she was at a loss.

He vaguely remembered that Liu Shuyang was also a dutiful man when he first joined the Chu family. In the past two years, he has been hanging out with Qi Mochen and Lin Jinhong for a long time, and his whole person has been completely abolished.

Chu Nanzhi is not a master who can swallow her anger, since she decides to help the Chu family, she will help to the end.

If this person is really hopeless, she doesn't want the entire Chu family to be dragged down by him.

It is a terrible thing to be addicted to gambling.
