Chapter 118 Planning
Lin Jinxiao recalled in his mind the details of the past years with the original owner, Chu Nanzhi.
At the beginning, the Chen family sold him to Liu Yun for five hundred taels of silver to be his son-in-law, and he was forced to marry Chu Nanzhi as a child.
I thought that since I was doing my best to help Mrs. Chen support her family of three, the woman could treat him well for the sake of her dead father, even if she couldn't give him half a love, at least she could not interfere with her in major life matters.
Unexpectedly, this woman was completely deceived by the lard, and she didn't think about the kindness that she had managed for her family for more than ten years since she was six years old. When she saw the money Liu Yun gave her, she kicked him out of the house. , and even instigated Liu Yunshou to stay in her home all day long to force the husband and wife to consummate the house, and refused to leave until they saw that they were cooking raw rice.
In order to enjoy the five hundred taels of silver with peace of mind, Mrs. Chen did not hesitate to resort to despicable means and put strong drugs in the food of the husband and wife. on the child.
The most irritating thing is that Chu Nanzhi, a stupid woman, clearly knew about Chen's despicable behavior, and she acquiesced in her behavior, which is really infuriating.
He finally had to choose to accept his fate completely.
His biological mother, Cui Shi, was the only survivor after the plague in other villages. His father took her home and married her after seeing her pitiful, but she passed away within a few years. He has no other relatives for the mother and child.
So in the first three years of marriage, Mrs. Chen often came to the house to give pointers, and he was very tolerant because of the love between mother and child.
In the two years since he lost his errand, the family never came to ask. In his opinion, it was a good thing to be clean, but he never thought that they would come here repeatedly to make things difficult for him when he was in trouble. See through.
It is time to make a decision.
Strengthening the belief in his heart, he quietly looked at Chu Nanzhi with a soft light in his eyes: "Go forward."
Oh, there is no going back.
Lin Jinxiao came to his senses suddenly, and sighed weakly in his heart. His leg will get better in a few days. Since he promised her, he can't break his promise.
Chu Nanzhi saw that he hesitated to speak, and didn't know what he was thinking, so she simply turned her head to care about Mrs. Zhou: "Sister, I have wronged you today, sister-in-law is really sorry."
"Sister-in-law, don't say such outrageous things."
Mrs. Zhou replied very politely: "I'm from the village, and besides, we depend on my elder brother for our family to have a good livelihood. This grievance is nothing."
"Well, I haven't seen Saburo for some days."
Chu Nanzhi replied lightly, thinking in his heart that Li Ce was just a wanderer who roamed the countryside, so naturally he would not be seen in the county government.
Quietly looked at Mrs. Zhou again. This couple is really a rare and real person. They are reliable and reliable. They can help them more in the future, just as they need manpower in the future.
Li Ce's monthly salary is one tael of silver and one stone of rice. Although it is not bad for ordinary people, she feels that this family can live better.
Li Ce's official career can't help much by himself, but there is still a way for Zhou to follow him to earn some scattered money.
With this idea, she tentatively asked Zhou: "Sister, sister-in-law is going to do some business in the county in a few days, why don't you go to the city with sister-in-law?"
Ms. Zhou was a little panicked when she heard this: "My sister-in-law is too flattering to my slave family. An illiterate woman from my slave family follows my sister-in-law, isn't it just causing trouble for my sister-in-law?"
"I am also a woman."
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help smiling, took her hand and said seriously: "Women can also live the way they want, we don't want to be bound by those worldly rules, we will wait until we go to the county My sister-in-law will also give you a salary of one or two taels of silver every month, not only that, but if you earn silver at the end of the year, sister-in-law will also give you dividends."
"A tael of silver?"
Mrs. Zhou was already dumbfounded when he heard that there was one tael of silver per month, let alone any bonus.
She worked so hard at home to raise a flock of chickens for only one or two taels of silver a year, but when she went to the city to earn so much in a month, she was a little moved.
Chu Nanzhi also planned some things for her in her heart, and said bluntly: "If the two mu of land at home can't be planted, don't plant it, or you can leave it to others to take care of it."
Mrs. Zhou didn't expect her to plan so well and thoughtfully for herself, she was so moved that she almost shed tears, and excitedly held her hand tightly, nodded and smiled: "My family listens to my sister-in-law."
Seeing the pair of sisters-in-law get along so well, Lin Jinxiao was also very happy from the bottom of his heart, and what Chu Nanzhi said just now in defense of the women's family shocked him even more.
Looking at the entire Dahe Empire, the only person he knows who has such courage is Princess Jinshu.
"The woman in front of me is really amazing."
Lin Jinxiao squinted at Chu Nanzhi from the corner of his eye, and secretly sighed in his heart: "I don't know if I will meet such a woman again in the future."
The words she said when we discussed hiring a tutor for the quadruplets at home last time still echoed in his ears, and he was quite inspired:
Indeed, a good man should go out to make contributions, and being too passive and avoiding the world is not a manly act.
So these days, he has already made plans to persuade his two mentors to formally enter the official career after he recovers from his injury.
Just thinking about the future reconciliation, he was inevitably a little worried. Although he saw her sudden appearance, she was still a woman. After divorce, the woman can have a stable life to live.
This time, he wanted to help the woman open the restaurant.
The bullock cart slowly drove into Anlin Village, and it didn't take long to arrive at the small courtyard of the Lin family under the lush forest at the east end of the village.
Chu Nanzhi helped Lin Jinxiao get out of the car, joined Liu Yun and his wife, and walked into the yard together.
Beside the stone table, there were a few people sitting chatting and watching the fun. Seeing a familiar voice, Xiao Erlang rushed up and called out excitedly, "Daddy."
When the family came back, Blacksmith Zhao got up happily and angrily and walked towards him, venting his dissatisfaction in his mouth: "Da Lang, your stepmother's family is really getting worse and worse, Mrs. Chu, hurry up!" Check it out and see what's missing."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Xiao Erlang tightly and added immediately: "The lock on the door is broken. I have been guarding in the courtyard. No one dares to enter the house. Master Lizheng should be here soon. There are so many townspeople today. Neighbors, we will definitely ask Mr. Li Zheng to be the master of your family."
The rest of the neighbors also echoed after hearing this: "Yes, we saw Mrs. Chen carrying a lot of things back on the road just now, and thought she was going to the market. I never thought that she stole it from your house. It's too much." , is too much."
Chu Nanzhi and Liu Yun and his wife looked at each other in dismay, first thanked the gatekeeper Zhao Blacksmith and the neighbors, and then said to Liu Yun and his wife: "Father, mother, you take care of Dalang, I will go into the house and have a look."
"Father, tell the villagers to sit in the yard and take care of Da Lang. Da Zhi and I will go in and check and see what is missing."
After Liu Yun gave Chu Wenbi instructions, she hurriedly dragged Chu Nanzhi into the room.
