Lin Jinxiao recalled everything he had with the original owner Chu Nanzhi over the years in his mind.
When Chen sold him to Liu Yun as his son-in-law for 500 taels of silver, he was forced to marry Chu Nanzhi, and he was completely disheartened and had no hope in life.
I thought that since I had devoted all my efforts 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 could not give him half the love, at least she would not interfere with her in major life matters.
Unexpectedly, this woman was completely blinded by lard. She didn't even think about her kindness in managing her family's livelihood 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 also instigated Liu Yunshou to stay at his home all day long to force the couple to consummate their marriage, and refused to leave until they saw the two of them cooking the 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 medicine in the couple's meals, causing the couple to consummate their marriage in a state of confusion, making Chu Nanzhi pregnant.
Had a baby.
The most irritating thing is that this stupid woman Chu Nanzhi clearly knew about Chen's despicable behavior and acquiesced in her behavior. It is really infuriating.
He finally had to choose to completely accept his fate.
Her biological mother, Mrs. Cui, was the only survivor of the plague in other villages. Her father saw that she was pitiful, so he took her home and later married her. However, she died within a few years. In this world, except for Mrs. Chen
He has no other relatives, mother and son.
Therefore, in the first three years after they got married, Mr. Chen often came to the house to give advice. He thought about the affection between mother and son and was very tolerant.
In the past two years since he lost his job, the family had never come to ask him a question. In his opinion, it was a good thing that he had gotten clean, but he never thought that they would come to harm him repeatedly while he was in trouble. This ugly face was really to him.
See through.
It's time to make a decision.
Strengthening the belief in his heart, he looked at Chu Nanzhi quietly with a soft light in his eyes: "Go back."
Oh, no more.
Lin Jinxiao suddenly reacted and sighed weakly in his heart. It would take some time for his leg to get better. Since he had promised her, he could not break his promise.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Chu Nanzhi didn't know what he was thinking, so she simply turned her head and showed concern for Mrs. Zhou: "Sister, I have made you feel wronged today. My sister-in-law is really sorry for you."
"Sister-in-law, don't say such outlandish things."
Mrs. Zhou replied very politely: "As a fellow villager, besides, it is only through my brother that our family has a good living, so this grievance is nothing."
"Well, I haven't seen Saburo for a while."
Chu Nanzhi responded lightly, thinking in the bottom of his heart that Li Ce was just a wanderer wandering around the countryside. Naturally, he would not be seen in the county government office.
Quietly, he looked at Mr. Zhou again. This couple is really a rare down-to-earth person. They are down-to-earth and reliable. He can help them more in the future, as he will also need help in the future.
Li Ce's monthly salary is one tael of silver and one stone of rice, which is pretty good for ordinary people, but she thinks it can make the family live a better life.
Li Ce's official career can't help him much, but there is still a way to let Zhou follow him to earn some money.
With this idea in mind, she tentatively asked Ms. Zhou: "Sister, my sister-in-law is going to the county to do some business in a few days. Why don't you go to the city with her?"
Mrs. Zhou was a little frightened when she heard this: "Sister-in-law praises the slave family too much. If an illiterate woman from the slave family follows my sister-in-law, won't she cause trouble to her?"
"I am also a womanizer."
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but smile, took her hand and said seriously: "Women can also live the way they want. We don't want to be bound by those secular rules. When we go to the county
My sister-in-law will also give you one tael of silver per month as wages. Not only that, if you earn some silver at the end of the year, your sister-in-law will also give you dividends."
"One tael of silver?"
Mrs. Zhou was stunned when she heard about one tael of silver per month, let alone any bonus.
She worked hard to raise a pen of chickens at home and could only sell them for one tael of silver for a year. When she went to the city, she could earn so much in just one month. She was a little excited.
Chu Nanzhi also thought about some things for her in her heart, and said bluntly: "If the two acres of land at home cannot be planted, we will not plant it, or we can leave it to others to take care of it."
Zhou didn't expect that she had such a thorough plan for her. She was so moved that tears almost flowed out. She held her hand tightly with excitement, nodded and said with a smile: "Everyone in the slave family listens to my sister-in-law."
Seeing the two sisters-in-law getting along so harmoniously, Lin Jinxiao was also happy from the bottom of his heart, and Chu Nanzhi's words just now in defense of the women's family shocked him even more.
Looking at the entire Dahe Empire, the only one he knew who had such courage was Princess Jinshu.
"The woman in front of me now is really amazing."
Lin Jinxiao glanced at Chu Nanzhi with his peripheral vision, and sighed secretly in his heart: "I don't know if I will meet such a woman again in the future."
The last time she discussed hiring a private tutor for the quadruplets at home, her words still echoed in his ears, and he was quite inspired:
Indeed, a good man should go out and make achievements, and being too passive and withdrawing from the world is not a manly behavior.
So these days, he had already made plans, and after he recovered from his injuries, he was ready to persuade his two mentors to formally enter the official career.
Just thinking about the future reconciliation, he was inevitably a little worried. Although he saw her sudden ability, she was still a woman. After all, she saved him from trouble several times when they were married. He also hoped that
After the divorce, the woman can have a stable life.
This time, he wanted to help this woman open the restaurant.
The ox cart drove slowly into Anlin Village, and soon arrived at the Lin family courtyard under the lush trees at the east end of the village.
Chu Nanzhi helped Lin Jinxiao get out of the car, met Liu Yun and his wife, and walked into the yard together.
Beside the stone table, a few people were sitting chatting and watching the fun. When Xiao Erlang saw a familiar voice, he rushed up and called excitedly: "Dad."
When the family came back, Zhao Tiejiang stood up and walked towards them with joy and anger. He began to vent his dissatisfaction and said: "Da Lang, your stepmother's family is getting more and more outrageous. Madam Chu, you guys come forward quickly."
Check the house to see if anything is missing."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Xiao Erlang tightly and immediately added: "The lock on the door is broken. I have been guarding the courtyard. No one dares to enter the house. Master Li Zheng should be arriving soon. There are so many villagers today.
Neighbors, we will definitely ask Mr. Li Zheng to make the decision for your family."
After hearing this, several other neighbors also echoed: "Yes, we just saw Mrs. Chen carrying a lot of things back on the road. We thought she was going to the market. We never thought that she stole them from your house. It's too much.
, it’s really too much.”
Chu Nanzhi, Liu Yun and his wife looked at each other. They thanked Blacksmith Zhao and the villagers who were looking after the door, and then said to Liu Yun and his wife: "Father, mother, you take care of Dalang. I'll go inside first and take a look."
"The child's father, please invite the villagers to sit in the courtyard and take care of Da Lang. Da Zhi and I will go in and take inventory to see if anything is missing."
After Liu Yun finished giving orders to Chu Wenbi, she angrily pulled Chu Nanzhi and rushed into the house.
