Chapter 44: Father is not Blacksmith Zhao
Chapter 44 Dad is not Blacksmith Zhao
As soon as Sibao heard about reading, Sibao immediately became interested, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Sibao also wants to study, but Dad has no money to send us to a private school in the village."
The little guy glanced at Chu Nanzhi meaningfully, and then hesitated to speak.
Chu Nanzhi turned her face away, and immediately realized the scruples that Xiao Sibao dared not say in the second half of the sentence.
Yes, the original owner is so selfish and hates children, why would he want to send the little ones to study and practice calligraphy.
Lin Jinxiao's previous salary was not enough for her to go to the county to have a dental festival.
But now that I have accepted this body, I should give more thought to it.
Even if Lin Jinxiao is reconciled and divorced, it is an indisputable fact that she is the mother of four little treasures.
She absolutely does not want the little ones to become vicious people in the future because of lack of education and correct guidance.
Staring at Sibao, she smiled knowingly: "Then let's not go to private school, let's let Grandpa Chang and Grandpa Nie teach, okay?"
"Grandpa Chang and Grandpa Nie are not willing to teach children like us."
Sibao pursed his mouth, buried his head secretly, and played with those toys on his own.
Chu Nanzhi looked at Xiao Sibao's frustrated face, but already had an idea in her heart.
Others may not be able to handle those two strange old men, but I may have a way to make them accept the four young disciples willingly.
The carriage gradually drove back to the entrance of the village, and Xiao Sibao realized that he was not far from home, so he suddenly raised his head and stared at Chu Nanzhi quietly.
Chu Nanzhi sensed that something was wrong with the little guy, and asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"
"I really want to call you A Niang all the time."
Little Four Treasures buried his head tightly, his heart full of thoughts.
Chu Nanzhi couldn't see through the little guy's mind, and said with a wry smile: "You are afraid that Dabao and the three of them will not be happy if they find out."
Sibao raised his head and shook his head stubbornly, not daring to tell the truth.
Those three little guys still have a lot of hostility, and Chu Nanzhi is actually worried that Sibao will be alienated and bullied by them because of this matter.
Leaning in front of Little Sibao, Chu Nanzhi patted her head lightly, and said gently: "From now on, when they are not around, you will call me A Niang, and when you are with your brothers and sisters, you will be with them." Is the same good?"
Xiao Sibao immediately threw himself into her arms with a smile on his face.
Chu Nanzhi's heart was melted in an instant, and she quietly looked at the little four treasures with eyes full of kindness. This poor and thin little girl always lives so cautiously, which is really distressing.
She doesn't expect a few little guys to be willing to call her mother, but she hopes that they will be satisfied when they leave without hating her.
Waiting for the carriage to arrive in the courtyard, Chu Nanzhi pulled Sibao out of the carriage, entered the courtyard casually, looked up at the sky, it was the setting sun.
The sunset glow illuminates the entire courtyard red.
Hearing footsteps at the courtyard door, the people inside rushed out immediately, a few golden faces shining brightly in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Chu Nanzhi looked intently, only to see Li Ce and his wife, Mrs. Zhou, leading the three little fellows to greet them.
Seeing this, Sibao was overjoyed and ran to the back room:
"Father, Mommy helped the county magistrate grandpa solve the case today and caught the bad guys. Mommy is amazing."
This joy, even forgot the agreement with the bad woman.
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help frowning.
The three little fellows beside Li Ce also immediately darkened their faces, leaving Li Ce behind Sibao and walked into the house unhappy.
Mrs. Zhou came over to hold Chu Nanzhi carelessly, and said with a friendly smile, "Sister-in-law solved the case so quickly?"
Chu Nanzhi nodded lightly, and the peripheral vision from the corner of her eyes followed the little guys who entered the room.
Zhou's face was full of tenderness and anger, and pointed in the direction of the kitchen: "I'm afraid my sister-in-law will come back late, and the gentleman said that there is no food left at home. My servant dug a few freshly unearthed potatoes in the field, killed a chicken and stewed it. To make up for my elder brother, it is almost ready now, just in time for my sister-in-law to come back, let's go in and eat."
Hearing Mrs. Zhou's words, Chu Nanzhi immediately came to her senses, rushing back from the county, she was really hungry.
But I didn't expect this woman to kill her own chicken again, and ate two of her chickens in less than half a month. Chu Nanzhi was really sorry, and she scolded softly while digging out money from her bosom:
"It's good to have potatoes, why kill the chicken again, I was busy going to the county for the past two days, and I forgot to prepare some dishes at home, and I caused trouble for you couple, where?"
But before Chu Nanzhi finished speaking, she was stopped by Mrs. Zhou along with the money in her hand:
"Sister-in-law asked Saburo to take five taels of silver back home yesterday, even the chickens in the whole chicken coop in my servant's house are not enough to cover this silver. Sister-in-law don't say such outrageous words again."
"My good sister, the money my sister-in-law gave you is not for you to settle accounts with me."
Chu Nanzhi curled her lips angrily, pulled her to persuade her: "Since you don't want sister-in-law to see others, then don't talk to sister-in-law again, and don't mention money anymore."
Mrs. Zhou blushed embarrassingly.
No matter how you calculate it, my sister-in-law has suffered a lot.
Taking five taels of silver from others for no reason, such a huge sum of money, I always feel uneasy.
Chu Nanzhi knew that this woman was a real person, and the five taels of silver was originally thinking that they would have to trouble their husband and wife during this period, so it was some hard work for this.
I didn't expect to solve the case after a trip to the Zhao Mansion, which is indeed a bit unexpected.
In order to reassure her, Chu Nanzhi took Zhou's hand and said while walking in:
"Let's go in and have dinner together first. For the money, you should treat it as the wages of San Lang to take care of my Da Lang. There are still many things that will cause trouble for you in the future, so don't be polite to your sister-in-law."
"I won't eat the rice. The last time I tasted the dishes made by my sister-in-law, it was delicious. My family is a rough person. I'm afraid that the stewed chicken soup won't spoil my sister-in-law's appetite. My family specially came to help. The children in the family Still waiting."
After finishing speaking, she threw Chu Nanzhi away with all her strength, ran away, and kept shouting: "Sister-in-law, let Sanlang stay here, and tell the elder brother to go back later when he falls asleep."
Then disappeared.
Chu Nanzhi shook her head helplessly, looked at Li Ce and said with a smile: "You are really reserved, you have been busy in the house for a long time, and you are not even willing to sit down and drink."
"Sister-in-law leave her alone."
Li Ce touched the back of his head embarrassingly, thinking of what Sibao said just now, he asked in disbelief:
"Sister-in-law really solved the case so quickly?"
"Well, I didn't expect that either."
Looking up at him, Chu Nanzhi suddenly rejoiced and said: "Tomorrow you can go back to the county government office for work."
"Really?"
"Of course, sister-in-law is a simple and honest person, and she can't tell lies."
Li Ce was a little skeptical about this, but smiled like a child in an instant.
The two walked into the room together, only to see that Dabao, Erbao, and Sanbao all had bitter faces, staring at Sibao Lin Ruijia angrily.
Xiao Sibao curled up beside the guest table in aggrieved manner, not daring to look up.
At this time, Lin Jinxiao was limping out of the back room on crutches.
Seeing the scene in the living room, Lin Jinxiao was full of doubts. He glanced at Sibao, then at the other three little guys. His handsome face suddenly became gloomy:
"Have you bullied Sibao?"
"No."
Little Sibao huddled by the table leg and began to cry.
"You are not allowed to cry."
Dabao Lin Ruiwen roared.
"We are not Xiao Erlang, and Dad is not Zhao Blacksmith. Who are you crying for?"
Erbao Lin Ruixi rolled her eyes at Sibao with some disdain.
Lin Jinxiao's eyebrows were slightly curved, and his sharp eyes gradually became sullen: "What's going on?"
While speaking, he had guessed something in his heart, just now he seemed to hear the Four Treasures called mother.
And the little treasures immediately lowered their heads, and did not answer in a dull manner.
Chu Nanzhi knew it well, went to pick up Sibao Lin Ruijia, and sternly said with the other three:
"Whether you admit it or not, I am your mother. This is a fact you have already recognized since you came out of my mother's belly. If you don't want to cry, I won't force you, but you can't make things difficult for others."
