Chapter 48 This woman has a problem

Big treasure Lin Ruiwen followed closely behind Lin Jinxiao, happily saying:

"Father, she doesn't seem to want to harm you this time, but to help you. With that strange thing, Daddy won't have to bother Uncle Li. Why are you scolding her, Daddy?"

Lin Jinxiao ignored him, frowned, and turned to the back room.

Chu Nanzhi couldn't help snickering when she heard Dabao's words:

What else could be the reason for this, isn't it just embarrassment.

But this thing was designed according to the concept of toilet for the disabled, so she didn't believe that this guy would rather trouble Li Ce every day than use it.

After finishing everything, she led the other three little treasures back to the living room full of joy, washed her hands, and prepared to cook. Just after washing the rice, she heard someone calling herself outside the courtyard:

"Miss Chu."

Chu Nanzhi hurried out after hearing the sound.

Walking outside the door, he saw that it was Sun Xiancheng from the county yamen leading two yamen servants waiting in the yard, playing with the little Sibao.

The other three little guys looked at this funny old man with a mustache in confusion.

Seeing Chu Nanzhi's figure, Sun Xiancheng immediately pulled Sibao forward, and said with a smile on his face:

"Yesterday, Mrs. Lao Chu cleared up the case for the county government and returned justice to Mr. Zhao. The old man came here to thank Mrs. Zhao at the request of the county magistrate and Mr. Zhao."

After finishing speaking, he calmly took a large bag from the yamen servant and handed it to her:

"Here is the fifty taels of gold that Mr. Zhao rewarded his wife, and the fifty taels of silver that the county magistrate rewarded Mrs. Chu. Please keep it well, Mrs. Chu."

Chu Nanzhi fixed her eyes on the bulging purse, feeling both surprised and delighted. She never expected Mr. Zhao to be grateful to her, but she still had to put on a show of politeness for such a thing.

She pursed her lips and said in a soft and humble voice: "How did this happen?"

Sun Xiancheng looked sincere: "So, if it weren't for Mrs. Chu, how could this case go so smoothly. You don't have to be too modest."

When the quadruplets heard fifty taels of gold, they were very excited. They have never seen so much gold in such a big age. They surrounded the two with shining eyes, and kept begging: "Mother, we want to see gold."

"OK, let's see."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Chu Nanzhi nodded in agreement, the money bag in his hand was snatched by the second treasure and the third treasure.

Seeing a group of little guys cheering happily, she had no choice but to gently advise: "Don't lose it."

After finishing speaking, he led Sun Xiancheng to the living room to take a seat.

The quadruplets walked in front holding their purses together. As soon as they entered the back room, they ran to Lin Jinxiao to show off, and shouted excitedly, "Look, Dad, Mommy has earned a lot of money and came back with a lot of gold."

Lin Jinxiao glanced lightly, but didn't react too much, just nodded silently.

Seeing Sun Xiancheng coming in, he was about to get up and salute, but Sun Xiancheng stopped him immediately, and said with a concerned look on his face:

"Dalang doesn't have to be so formal, take good care of your body, this old man is still waiting for Dalang to recover soon and work with you."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiancheng, for your concern."

Lin Jinxiao replied gratefully, and inadvertently saw the quadruplets take out golden bars from their purses, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Although he is not a person who is greedy for money and fame, but after all, it is the first time he saw so much gold in his own home, and he was quite frightened and said to Sun Xiancheng:

"The humble woman is just trying her best, how dare the grandpa of the Zhao family and the county magistrate spend so much money."

"Da Lang's words are wrong. The whole county has been exhausted because of the case of the Zhao Mansion these days. Mrs. Chu just went to the Zhao Mansion and found out the truth of the case. This is different from ordinary people. His wisdom is not only old, but even the county magistrate and Mr. Zhao are full of praise."

After Sun Xiancheng finished speaking, Chu Nanzhi just poured herbal tea and handed it to him.

Sun Xiancheng took a sip of tea, and his eyes wandered between the couple astutely. After a while, he looked at Chu Nanzhi with a smile on his face, and said solemnly:

"Yesterday, I heard that the county magistrate was discussing with Zhao Taigong in the hall. It is said that the judge in charge of justice and prison, Cao Shushi (official name), has returned to his hometown for several months. Zhao Taigong intends to recommend Mrs. Chu to the county government The prefect is serving, and the magistrate specially asked the old man to come over today and ask Miss Chu and Da Lang what they mean."

Hearing these words, Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao looked at each other, and Lin Jinxiao seemed to have a sneer in his eyes and answered first:

"The magistrate of the county is just joking, the poor woman is just a woman, how dare she enter the prefect's mansion to make a fool of herself."

Although it was harsh remarks with guns and sticks, Chu Nanzhi did not argue with him, but quickly followed suit: "What my husband said is that a woman is a woman, and she is flattered by her grandpa. It's just that People's wives absolutely dare not follow the matter of playing tricks in the class."

Now, after Chang Lao and Nie Lao reminded her last time, she always felt that the tax and bank case was inseparable from the county government, and she was also a little jealous of Wu Enrong, the county government might be a place where dragons and tigers hide;

Besides, she doesn't want to enter the system for the time being, wouldn't it be more comfortable to take on a few private jobs and earn some money.

Seeing her firm eyes, Sun Xiancheng knew that her ambition was not here, so he couldn't force it anymore, and said with a smile: "It's a pity, I will go back and reply to the county magistrate."

"The woman is cooking, and the adults come from a long way and have dinner before leaving."

"No, no, the county government still has official business to deal with, so I won't bother you and your wife."

Sun Xiancheng lowered his head sadly and took a few more sips of tea, then got up and said goodbye to the couple.

Chu Nanzhi saw that he was in a low mood, and she didn't know if it was caused by her refusal to enter the county mansion, so she didn't dare to ask more, so she followed him to see him out.

In the house, the four little guys had already taken out the ten gold bars and the ten ingots of silver, and put them on the ground, rubbing them back and forth and playing with them repeatedly.

Lin Jinxiao saw it in his eyes, but the doubts in his heart became more and more intense.

If it is said that she was inspired by the knowledge she learned from Taoist Ximen in the tax and silver case, and even recapturing the silver from Lin Jinhong relied on her ingenuity and wisdom, then this murder by the Zhao family has left no trace in the whole county. How did she infer that the case was seized?

No, there is definitely something wrong with this woman.

Lin Jinxiao thought of this, and then turned back. Since Taoist Ximen deliberately wanted to murder their family, how could he tell her such a confidential matter.

Combining with all the signs she showed after the tax and bank case, Lin Jinxiao gradually realized that this woman was clearly lying.

After Chu Nanzhi sent Sun Xiancheng away, and then returned to the living room, Lin Jinxiao's sharp eagle eyes stared closely at this strange woman who was full of nonsense, and his heart began to feel uneasy and confused.

Chu Nanzhi noticed the strangeness in his eyes, but walked to the quadruplets in a calm manner, pretending not to see anything, picked up the gold bars and silver on the ground, put them back into the purse, and turned to the four little ones. The guy said with a smile:

"Look, we have a lot of silver now, not only will you be able to read and write well in the future, but you can also buy a lot of good things."

Besides Dabao, the other three little guys were also very excited. They looked at the bad woman with bright eyes and asked in unison, "Aniang, what are we going to buy with this money?"

Chu Nanzhi thought for a while: "I'll go back to your grandma's house in two days. We'll help grandma repay the money owed to the Qi family. Then we'll go to the county to open a big restaurant. Do you agree?"

"Restaurant?"

The little guys looked at each other, and finally Sibao Lin Ruijia asked with a smile:

"Then if we open a restaurant, will we be able to eat a lot of delicious food every day in the future?"

"certainly."

Chu Nanzhi touched Xiao Sibao's forehead.

Er Bao and San Bao heard that they were delicious, and they wanted to go to grandma's house right away, so they hurriedly said: "Then we have to go to grandma's house with A Niang to pay back the money from Qi's family."

Dabao Lin Ruiwen was bored for a long time. Seeing that his younger brothers and sisters were going to grandma's house with the bad woman, after sneaking a glance at Lin Jinxiao, he finally gritted his teeth and muttered uncontrollably:

"I also need to go."

Hearing the voice, Chu Nanzhi raised her eyes and stared at Dabao quietly. Those stubborn little eyes seemed to be resolutely fighting against fate on the one hand, and making difficult compromises on the other.

She couldn't help but patted Dabao's head, her eyes flashed, and she smiled warmly: "Well, you all go."

Dabao avoids her hand vigilantly, and asks a little dullly: "What about Dad?"

"He."

Chu Nanzhi turned her face to the side, and looked at that cold and proud face: "I have to go too."

Small class for husband training:

Lin Jinxiao: Give me a reason why I must accompany you back to your mother's house?

Dazhi: What I say is the reason.

Finally, I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival!
