Chapter 81 Eliminate suspicion and don’t mention it again
One person may lie, but a group of people cannot all lie.
He wanted to see what that man Su Jinxiu looked like.
Not long after, the government servant outside came in with the painted portrait.
Su Jinxiu's yamen servants had also finished painting, and put several portraits on the table.
Magistrate Zhang's brows were furrowed tighter than a hemp rope.
The people in each portrait cannot be said to be exactly the same, they can only be said to be completely unrelated.
Some have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and some have sharp mouths and monkey cheeks. It is impossible to tell that they are the same person.
When the men in the village looked at Wang Jiu, they always thought he was too fair-skinned and looked like a girl.
The women in the village looked at Wang Jiu and thought Zhou Zheng was handsome, but they couldn't describe him in detail.
So when I said it, I got sidetracked.
Magistrate Zhang wanted to ask a few questions, but he saw Su Jinxiu looking at the painting on the table with red eyes.
I immediately felt a headache and couldn't care about anything else.
Picked up the painting, stood up and left.
"Miss Su, we'll discuss this later.
Manager Chen, do you want to go together?"
Manager Chen nodded, gave Su Jinxiu a meaningful look, and then walked out the door.
On the carriage ride back, Magistrate Zhang took out the portraits and placed them in front of Manager Chen.
"The steward should have met Miss Su's husband. It's up to you.
Which one of these looks more like it?"
Manager Chen sneered and glanced at it.
"I have seen her as a husband, although she looks a little better than the Jinxiu girl.
It's not as good as she said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I think that pretty boy would be good anywhere."
He picked up the sharp-mouthed monkey cheek and nodded.
"In my opinion, this one looks more like it."
After receiving a positive answer from Manager Chen, County Magistrate Zhang was completely relieved.
"It's a pity for Miss Su, but Fan Fan's cooking skills show up on her face.
It's not like I have to fight to the death for such a thing.
If this kind of thing runs away, just run away!"
————————————
After seeing off Manager Chen and Magistrate Zhang, Su Jinxiu and the three brothers moved the box into the house.
After taking inventory, I found a box of gold and silver.
Two boxes of silk and satin, and several boxes of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Although it is left over from a birthday banquet, it is not suitable for ordinary people.
These are rare treasures. Su Jinxiu put away the valuable things.
He picked out a few pieces of cloth and gave them to Li Zhaodi along with some ingredients and asked her to distribute them to the villagers watching the fun outside.
"Mom, these are not easy to store.
You take it and give them a share, and mention it to them by the way, so don’t mention Wang Jiu again in the future."
Li Zhaodi nodded, took the things and went out.
Su Jinxiu saw three children standing at the door and took out a bag of candied fruits and handed them to them.
"Take it, eat it, and play with it!"
Su Shangwu and Su Shuanzi took it away. Su Shangwen grabbed a candied fruit and wanted to give it to Su Jinxiu.
When he raised his eyes, he saw Su Jinxiu staring blankly at Wang Jiu's room.
He walked forward distressedly and stuffed the candied fruit into Su Jinxiu's mouth.
"Sister, wait..."
From now on, I will definitely help you find a man who is thousands of times stronger than Wang Jiu.
Su Jinxiu tasted the sweet taste on her tongue and watched Su Shangwen run away quickly.
There are so many people at home now that we can’t live apart.
Otherwise, let the three brothers live in this house, and she can move into their house!
Li Zhaodi took her things and went out. The villagers were still watching the fun outside.
Seeing her arriving for the first time, they all came forward.
"Zhao Di'er, Jinxiu is a good girl.
It's Wang Jiu who is blind and unlucky, so please persuade Dian Jinxiu to stop thinking nonsense."
"That's right, Jinxiu is so capable.
Are you afraid that you won’t be able to choose a good-looking husband?”
"If I see Wang Jiu again, see if I don't break his legs..."
Listening to the words of the villagers, Li Zhaodi felt warm in her heart.
Distribute the things in your hands to them one by one.
"Jinxiu said, everyone helps me a lot on weekdays.
These were shared with everyone.
In the future, please don’t mention Wang Jiu, that bastard, so that Jinxiu can quickly forget about this sad incident."
The people in the village sympathized with Su Jinxiu, and they were merciful.
They immediately promised that they would never say another word.
When the villagers were almost gone, Jiang Chunlan couldn't wait any longer and walked forward nervously.
"Sister-in-law, I got hit a few days ago.
The injury has never healed. If I had known that Wang Jiu was such a ruthless person.
Even if you risk your life, you still have to seek justice for Jinxiu.
Hey, I know, you have some misunderstandings about me now.
But our sisters-in-law have really stopped contacting each other for so many years?
It’s also my fault, because I was instigated by Su Afang.
I've made my sister-in-law sad, and it's too late for me to say anything now.
It's a pity that our family has nothing now, and I want to apologize to my sister-in-law.
I can't even come up with anything decent. It would be great if I were as capable as Jinxiu.
After earning money, I must buy something decent for my sister-in-law to make amends."
Su Hongxing robbed her of fifty taels of silver, and she was beaten up and spent a lot of money on medicine.
Nowadays, the family is really struggling. On the way, I met Magistrate Zhang asking about Wang Jiu.
She then added some words to the conversation, hoping to get some money.
Who would have known that Magistrate Zhang would just leave like that.
She didn't get favors from Magistrate Zhang, so naturally she had to get it back from Li Zhaodi.
Li Zhaodi looked at Jiang Chunlan's appearance and picked up the things in her hands.
"Third brother and sister, what do you want?"
When Jiang Chunlan heard this, she felt happy in her heart.
She touched the brocade in Li Zhaodi's hand and picked out the dried fish on the side.
"Sister-in-law, this material is so comfortable.
I've never seen it in my life, tut, and this, is it something from the sea?
Is it delicious? This little bit is probably not enough for our family to take a few bites, is there any more?"
Li Zhaodi nodded and raised her chin towards the room.
"besides."
Jiang Chunlan was overjoyed and reached out to take it.
"That's great, sister-in-law, give them all to me!"
Unexpectedly, Li Zhaodi directly passed her and handed the thing in his hand to Butcher Su's wife.
"It's from Butcher Su's house, you can take it.
Last time Jinxiu was short of meat, thank you for giving her a pig."
Butcher Su's wife blushed and quickly waved her hand.
"What does that mean? We, the meat sellers, are not selling to whom?"
But once the things were in her hands, she really couldn't bear to return them.
Seeing what she got fly away, Jiang Chunlan couldn't hold back the smile on her face.
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean?
Is it possible that I, the third aunt, am not as good as outsiders?"
Li Zhaodi changed her usual politeness towards Jiang Chunlan and became very blunt.
"I have everything at home, but I won't give it to you.
Speaking of which, you are really not as good as outsiders.
Don't think I haven't seen you, you just came with Mr. Zhang.
Jinxiu is right, I treated you well before.
I don't see how grateful you are to me, but you double down on us.
I’m going to put my words here today. From now on, our big house will be cheaper.
Don't even think about taking a single penny from me, Jinxiu can give it to whomever he likes, you have nothing to do with it."
After saying that, Li Zhaodi slammed the door.
Jiang Chunlan was so angry that she was shaking all over, and she never expected it.
Li Zhaodi, who has always been a soft persimmon, is actually very difficult to handle.
