Chapter 406 Paving the way for Ling Ran
Sang Rou behind him was stunned, looking at Ling Ce's back as he walked away with his hands folded.
Today was the first time he mocked her background after she and the master had known each other for many years!
He used to feel sorry for her humble background What happened?
"Mom, mom, why has dad changed? Is there a young and beautiful woman outside?" Ling Qiang staggered to his feet and looked at his mother in panic.
His answer just now was so good, which was completely in line with the practice of the head of the Ling family, but dad not only did not praise him and approve of him, but left them without a care.
What he said before leaving was completely about handing over the Ling family to Ling Ran.
Sang Rou gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "It's impossible. There were beautiful maids who wanted to climb into bed before. Your dad is not a lustful person."
It must be this small village that is unlucky for her!
First, she saved Ling Ran, and then protected Ling Ran for so long. No wonder her people couldn't find Ling Ran no matter how hard they tried.
After much effort, the old master came here just to catch a gangster. He thought it would be easier to take action if Ling Ran was brought back under her nose. Unexpectedly, Ling Ran was not brought back, and the old master changed.
It was just a trip to Shanshui Village, why did the old master's attitude change completely?
She told her embarrassed son: "Qiang'er, this place is unlucky for us."
Ling Qiang's eyes were blank. Didn't his mother always disbelieve these things?
Sang Rou immediately corrected: "It's not this place, it's that woman. I really underestimated her! You must be alert and deal with it later."
If saving Ling Ran and taking him in was a coincidence, then letting Ling Ran appear at the time when the atmosphere of ancestor worship and family reunion was the strongest, and provoking the old master's love for his son was a deliberate plan!
And luring the old master here and changing his mind, it was probably provoked by that woman.
Ling Qiang shuddered and replied, "Mom, I know."
Sang Rou was afraid of putting too much pressure on her son, so she comforted him, "It's okay. Mom and your dad have been friends for more than 30 years. We won't be easily provoked. Mom will use some tricks later and will definitely make your dad change his mind."
"Well, I knew Mom was the most powerful. We can't let her go later!" Ling Qiang pulled his lips and accidentally pulled the corner of his mouth that was beaten, and he grimaced in pain.
·
Shui Qing watched Ling Ce come over first, and saw Sang Rou gather her hair, and she and Ling Qiang supported each other and followed behind Ling Ce, and couldn't guess what was going on.
"Isn't the governor here to make the decision for those two?" Aunt Li muttered.
Fan Xiaoliu snorted, "At worst, let those two fight back. Anyway, if they don't admit their mistakes, we are not wrong!"
"You guys will be behind us later. We men are thick-skinned and thick-skinned, so it's okay to get beaten." Wu Gousheng turned around and said to the woman behind him.
As the saying goes, you have to look at the owner before you beat a dog. It's normal for them to be beaten back after they beat the governor's family.
"Okay!" The men responded loudly and briefly.
Shuiqing had thought about treating the women and men in the village to a big meal as a reward for their hard work today when they helped beat Sang Rou and her group. After hearing what the men said just now, she had only one idea in her mind: add more food!
Kill pigs and sheep, lots of meat, let them all eat meat to their heart's content!
Although she didn't think Ling Ce was here to fight back, the attitude of these people in the village was more important than anything else.
Wang Guifen whispered, "It's not necessarily the boss. You see there are many ox carts behind the governor, carrying things. It's not fun to carry them all the way here.
I think it looks like a thank-you gift, but we still have to be nicer later. After all, it's the governor's family. Do you understand?"
"I know! We're not stupid. Of course we know when to stop." Fan Xiaoliu laughed foolishly.
Zhang Xiaogou followed and said, "The governor has no grudges against us, and those words were not said by him. We can tell the difference."
Wang Guifen breathed a sigh of relief.
When the other boys heard Wang Guifen's thank-you gift, they asked curiously, "Sister-in-law Guifen, haven't you given the thank-you gift? Why is there another thank-you gift?"
After all, the last time there were more than three hundred taels of silver, and there were dozens of livestock!
Such a big thank-you gift is already scary, it's impossible to have another one, right?
Wang Guifen also hesitated, "I'm just guessing, let's see first."
Ling Ce walked all the way to Shuiqing, bowed and saluted with great importance, and thanked solemnly: "Thank you for saving my son's life."
Except for Shuiqing who had experienced it once, who else had this experience?
At the moment, they jumped away quickly like rabbits and avoided it.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not here to vent his anger on his wife and second son.
With a relaxed mood, everyone was able to watch the fun, and ran briskly towards the ox cart and circled around the ox cart.
I saw sacks of sacks piled high on the oxcart in front, which looked like food.
The last two were horse carriages, and there were carriages. I couldn't see inside clearly. The less I could see, the more curious I was. However, everyone knew the etiquette and just gathered around to discuss.
Shui Qing didn't expect Ling Ce to come to thank him, and happened to run into his wife and son.
Suddenly thinking of what he said about Ling Ran's mother, my heart skipped a beat, and I asked uncertainly: "You, your wife came here, didn't you instruct her?
And the things you brought, let's be frank first, if you want my daughter to be your son's concubine, absolutely not, I won't accept it."
The latter part was actually said on purpose, she was afraid that Sang Rou and the others would confuse right and wrong and hide it from Ling Ce, and also pointed out the reason why the two were beaten.
Ling Ce's old face turned red and he hurriedly explained: "No, I didn't know they would come! I didn't tell her that I would investigate this matter thoroughly when I get back;
These gifts of thanks have nothing to do with them. As for the concubine, I have not even thought about getting married! I just want to express my gratitude with gold and silver money, and I have no other thoughts! "
Even if she repays her kindness, it will be for Ling Ran, not Ling Qiang, let alone a concubine.
He had always considered himself the master of suffering in the past, but now he realized that he had harmed Zhu and his son, so how could he let Ling Ran suffer the same pain as him!
And Hu Shuiqing is right, repaying kindness can be done by using real things, and there is no need to make vain promises. If it is not good, isn't it the same as taking revenge?
When Yan Qiu heard the word 'thorough investigation', he raised his eyes and looked at his mother-in-law beside him. This should be her mother-in-law's ultimate goal.
Aniang was paving the way home for Ling Ran and helping him remove the thorns on the road.
Shui Qing's face showed joy and trust, and his tone was full of apology: "That's good, it was our fault for hurting your wife and son. I was really angry at the time.
Mr. Ling, you may not be able to understand my mother-in-law’s heart. If the girl you raised in your hands is treated as if she were a piece of merchandise, you will be just as angry as me if she is asked to be a concubine! "
