Chapter 80
Chapter 80 Came to the door, secretly glad
When Li Zhaodi heard this, she stood up, twisted Su Shangwu's ears and went out.
"Bah, bah, bah, your sister is fine!
I want you to keep your mouth shut and don't say anything nonsense in the future."
Su Shangwu quickly patted his mouth, looking annoyed.
"Look at my mouth, what are you talking about?
Mom, why didn’t you see Wang Jiu?”
Li Zhaodi sighed and told them Su Jinxiu's explanation.
Finally, he warned again.
"No matter why Wang Jiu left, he broke your sister's heart.
From now on, don’t mention this name in front of your sister again.”
The three brothers nodded, hating Wang Jiu in their hearts.
Although Su Jinxiu was extremely tired, her sleep was not peaceful.
I have been having nightmares. In the dream, the corpses floating on the river have all turned into Ah Jiu.
She wanted to save Ah Jiu, but she couldn't reach Ah Jiu's hand.
I could only watch Ah Jiu, drifting further and further away.
A sudden awakening from the dream.
She sat up and found that her body was soaked with cold sweat.
I looked up out the window and found that it was already noon.
It's already this point, and it's too late to rush to Ruyi Restaurant.
She changed into clean clothes and wanted to go out to cook.
But I felt weak all over and didn't want to move at all.
He turned around and looked at Wang Jiu's room, feeling a little lost.
The things inside have not been packed away, just as if its owner is still there.
I wonder where Ah Jiu is now? Is he safe?
"Jinxiu, are you up?
Well, Manager Chen is outside and has been waiting for a while."
Su Jinxiu came back to her senses and quickly responded.
"Mom, I'm up.
Please ask Mr. Chen to sit down for a while first, I will come right away."
After she got dressed and washed, she came to the main room, where Manager Chen was looking around with his hands behind his back.
The door is open and you can see clearly.
There were two carriages parked outside, filled with boxes of various sizes.
"Those are all rewards from the government, why don't you go and see them?"
Seeing Su Jinxiu, Manager Chen stepped outside and raised his chin.
Su Jinxiu curled her lips weakly and walked forward to wash her hands and make tea.
"What the steward brings must be good things.
It’s not too late to check it out later, thank you for your hard work and making this trip.”
She brought the boiling tea to Manager Chen.
"This is a wild tea I picked in the forest some time ago. It smelled good at the time.
So he stayed, hoping to send it to the steward if he had time.
Can you give it a try and see if it suits your taste?"
The tea has a rich aroma, a slightly bitter taste and a sweet aftertaste.
It's better than Sun Mansion's tea. Manager Chen raised his eyebrows.
"Otherwise, why would I like this girl like you?
If you are smart, you will be smart in what you do."
He casually put down the tea cup and glanced around.
"By the way, where is your 'brother'?"
At this moment, Su Jinxiu was extremely happy that she had sent Ah Jiu away.
She smiled and called to the three brothers.
"This is Manager Chen, calling someone."
The three brothers looked confused, but they still called someone.
Manager Chen frowned and looked at Su Jinxiu.
"You know, I'm not talking about them."
Su Jinxiu waved her hand, indicating that the three brothers wanted to go do some work.
"Don't worry, manager. From today on, my brothers will only have the three of them."
Manager Chen looked at Su Jinxiu's pale face and dejected look, which didn't seem like she was lying.
I also understood something and gently fiddled with the lid of the tea cup.
"I know you are a sentimental person, so don't take this matter too seriously.
You are still young, you will know later.
In the face of self-interest, all love and love are empty.
Besides, you have me as your backer.
Are you still afraid that you won’t be able to find a good husband?”
Su Jinxiu looked at Manager Chen and thought of what Uncle Lin and the others said.
After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth.
"Steward, others say.
Although you don't have any airs, you are not an easy person to get along with.
He never took the initiative to care for anyone, but he only looked at me differently.
You are not married yet, could it be that..."
Bang, the lid in Manager Chen's hand fell to the ground.
His face turned blue and white, and he was rarely angry.
"I just praised you little girl for being smart, have you used all your smartness on this?
Had you been born a few years later, I could have been your grandfather.
When I first met you, I was really attracted by your cooking skills.
Later I learned your identity and took more care of you.
But it's also because I was entrusted by an old friend.
Okay, why are you asking me whether I have a wife?"
Seeing that Manager Chen was very angry, Su Jinxiu quickly gave him some tea.
"Please calm down, I have been misunderstood.
From now on, I will treat you as an elder.
If you get old, I will help you take care of yourself until you die."
Manager Chen took a sip of tea and became less angry.
"That's pretty much it. By the way, you have to make me something to eat and apologize properly."
Su Jinxiu nodded and was about to ask who the old friend who asked Manager Chen to take care of her was.
Suddenly, he was interrupted by movement at the door.
"Hey, Manager Chen is here too?
It’s really a coincidence.”
Magistrate Zhang entered the door with a few government servants, and spoke to Manager Chen.
His eyes were staring straight at Su Jinxiu.
Apparently, he came for her.
Manager Chen also noticed it and put down the tea cup.
"It's not that Jinxiu made beautiful dishes for the old lady's birthday banquet, and the old lady gave her something as a reward.
Let me make this trip and deliver it here.
Mr. Zhang, why are you here?"
Magistrate Zhang smiled and motioned to the Yamen servant to look around.
"No, there were refugees in the city causing trouble some time ago.
This made Mr. Sun very dissatisfied and ordered me to carefully investigate the refugees everywhere.
I heard that Jinxiu picked up a husband some time ago?
So come here and see if this is the case?"
Su Jinxiu raised her eyes and caught a glimpse of Jiang Chunlan passing by outside.
Naturally, I understand who heard this.
Many people in the village have seen Wang Jiu, and this matter cannot be concealed.
"Sir, it's true.
At that time, I saw that he looked well and had no relatives around him.
He was also simple, and only said that he would give his life to save his life.
I then thought that I would be old enough to get married.
A sick mother and a weak brother at home can feel more relaxed if there is a man to help.
So she made a private commitment to him for life, thinking of choosing an auspicious day to get married.
Who knew, a few days ago, he suddenly told me.
I'm not good enough for him, and I'm not as gentle and considerate as other young ladies.
There is no prominent family background that can enable him to live a life of fine clothing and fine food.
I just asked a few more questions, and he took the family's money and ran away.
I was just about to report it to the official, when your Excellency came."
At the end of the sentence, Su Jinxiu's eyes turned red.
Tears were falling down in big pieces, and she looked really pitiful.
Magistrate Zhang frowned, somewhat disbelieving.
"What a coincidence?"
The government officials who were searching everywhere came back and shook their heads, obviously they found no one.
Su Jinxiu wiped away her tears and choked up.
"Please help me find my husband-in-law and tell him.
As long as he is willing to come back, I will forget about it and live a good life."
Magistrate Zhang touched his goatee and had an idea.
"It's easy to say, I'll help Miss Su find her husband.
Please also ask Miss Su to describe your husband's appearance in detail, so that I can search for him based on the portrait."
He waved his hand, and the yamen servant immediately came forward with pen and ink in hand.
The remaining government officials were not idle, and went to the village to inquire about Mr. Su Jinxiu.

Thanks to the unknown treasure for the reward. I’ll add an update.
