Lin Jinxiao remained silent and said nothing more, and slowly went downstairs with a cane.
The quadruplets were also a little disappointed. The eldest, second, and third cubs followed their father away with their heads buried, feeling extremely sad.
When Xiaosi Baolin Ruijia saw this scene, she was a little embarrassed. She stood there blankly and called "Aniang" with a blank look on her face. Then she followed him out while sobbing softly.
Chu Nanzhi realized in hindsight that there seemed to be something wrong with the way he expressed himself.
Isn’t this a gold digger?
An ordinary peasant woman actually dislikes the fact that the salary of a fifth-grade official is not generous enough. This seems to be a bit arrogant. If calculated in RMB, the annual salary would be 500,000 to 600,000 yuan.
If you think about it more carefully, he is only 22 years old now, and he has reached the fifth-rank official position by virtue of his reputation as "filial piety" and "scholar". In his own time, he was just a bachelor's degree graduate.
.
cough!
My words were a bit hurtful.
She slowly went downstairs and saw the Chu sisters looking at her brother-in-law and children while setting the dishes in confusion, while Liu Yun patiently comforted the crying little Si Bao.
Afraid that the little guys would betray her completely at this time, Chu Nanzhi calmed down her chaotic mood and quietly sat down far away from the father and son, observing the movement calmly.
Looking at the sumptuous table of dishes, with a plump duck in the middle, Chu Nanzhi pretended that nothing had happened and asked Chu Nanzhu: "Azhu, why are you cooking so many dishes today?"
"Everyone hasn't had a good meal these days. Today, during the Hungry Ghost Festival, I cooked some extra dishes and invited my uncle and grandparents home for dinner."
Chu Nanzhi was frightened by her words. Not only had she visited the graves of several old people, but she also invited her family to have a meal.
Then he realized that it was probably some custom in the village. He nodded and watched her quietly as she placed the chopsticks on the rice bowl. The family was silent for a long time. Chu Nanzhu took back the chopsticks and took away the half bowl of rice and ordered
Everyone has a meal.
When they heard the meal, Xiao Sibao's crying voice became louder and louder. Liu Yun didn't know what happened, but when they went upstairs, the expressions of the father and son changed.
She looked at the calm Chu Nanzhi angrily, and said angrily: "Da Zhi, did you scold Xiaobao again?"
"how come."
Chu Nanzhi pursed her lips and smiled softly. She inadvertently noticed the strange looks cast by the few little guys. She was worried, fearing that they would reveal the matter of Heli. She quickly stood up to hug Si Bao, and then told Liu Yun: "
Mother, please eat quickly, I will persuade her."
Liu Yun sat over worriedly.
"Eat quickly. After dinner, my mother will take you to the county tomorrow to buy the red bean cake you like to eat."
Chu Nanzhi comforted her with a gentle voice, trying to seduce the little guy with this matter.
Si Bao lay in her arms and didn't agree. He just kept rubbing his eyes.
Chu Nanzhi placed the four treasures next to her and sat down. She silently looked at Lin Jinxiao and the other three unhappy little guys sitting opposite. After thinking for a while, she suddenly had an idea and said after careful consideration:
"What I just said didn't mean anything else. I was just afraid that it would be too hard for your father to support everyone by yourself, so he wanted to go out and earn more money."
"Really?"
After hearing this, Sibaolin Ruijia finally stopped crying and looked up at her with blinking eyes.
"of course it's true."
Chu Nanzhi touched her little head and ordered: "Eat quickly."
Little Si Bao was the only one who believed her words, while Dabao and Dabao, Dabao, still secretly glanced at her with a strange look in their eyes.
Liu Yun roughly guessed that the family was having conflicts over money, so she quickly came to the rescue and said:
"You don't need to be taboo about these things, Da Lang. Nowadays, the ladies in the government offices all have their own livelihoods. Da Zhi just opens a restaurant and raises fish in the pond. As long as we don't line our own pockets and don't use public money for personal gain, last year the county
Didn’t the order to encourage business also say that everyone is encouraged to make a living by themselves?”
She didn't know yet that Lin Jinxiao was about to become the new county magistrate of Luyan Port, so she guessed that her daughter was worried that he would continue to earn two taels of silver and one stone of rice every month, which would not be enough for the family's expenses.
Chu Wenbi thought about his daughter's extravagant style in the past, and couldn't help but advise: "Da Lang can listen to your mother-in-law on this point. If Da Zhi likes to do things, let her do it. After all, it's just a restaurant.
As for the fish pond, your mother-in-law, me, and brother-in-law will take care of it, so you don’t have to worry about it."
"Yes, brother-in-law, don't worry, we will not hinder you and eldest sister again in the future."
Liu Shuyang promised emphatically.
When Lin Jinxiao heard these words, he couldn't express the pain in his heart. The things everyone discussed were completely different from each other.
But I'm afraid he won't be able to talk about reconciliation first.
After silently calculating in his mind, he glanced over with his peripheral vision and quietly looked at the calm white face opposite him. A sly and evil smile suddenly appeared in his affectionate eyes.
He pretended to be relieved and said to the Chu family: "What my father-in-law and mother-in-law taught me is that my wife thinks properly and my son-in-law respects her wishes in everything."
Anyway, Liu Yun spent five hundred taels of silver to buy him as his son-in-law. It didn't matter whether he wanted to divorce or not. The decision of the couple was the most important. He wanted to see his smart wife.
How to explain to a family.
Liu Yun and Chu Wenbi were very happy when they heard this. It was rare for their son-in-law to be so docile and well-behaved. Their appetite immediately increased a lot. They enthusiastically picked up vegetables for their son-in-law, grandson and granddaughter, and happily chopped rice.
Chu Nanzhi watched Lin Jinxiao's every move with cold eyes. In just a moment, he became like a normal person. He even pursed his lips and smiled to indicate to the little ones to have a good meal. This healing ability was a bit beyond people's imagination.
She felt like she couldn't figure out this pretty face more and more.
A person who is good at hiding anger and joy is truly a formidable and respectable opponent.
Seeing that the little guys' emotions gradually relaxed and stabilized, she continued to eat calmly.
After the meal, they helped Liu Yun clean up the kitchen. Chu Wenbi and Liu Shuyang went to the village to hire someone to take care of the fish pond. The mother and daughter burned hot water in the kitchen to take a bath.
Chu Nanzhi changed her clothes and bathed the quadruplets one by one as usual.
Although the little ones didn't resist, they all let her play around like little puppets without making a sound, and they were very alienated from her.
Waiting for Chu Wenbi and Liu Shuyang to come back from the outside, the quadruplets followed their grandma to their rooms to sleep. Chu Nanzhi returned to the west wing with a somewhat lonely expression and saw Lin Jinxiao lying sideways on the innermost side of the bed.
She quietly went over, turned off the light, and lay down quietly.
She stayed up too late a while ago, so these days she could sleep soundly just by lying on the bed.
Although I pretended to be worried today, it didn't take long for me to fall asleep from exhaustion.
In the middle of the night, Lin Jinxiao woke up, tossing and turning and unable to fall back to sleep. He quietly stared at Chu Nanzhi who hugged him tightly, feeling suspicious in his heart.
After being married for more than five years, the two of them have repeatedly moved back and forth between the master bedroom and the cabin at home, and neither of them has touched each other. But now she talks about getting divorced, and when she comes to her mother-in-law's house, she not only sleeps with her
When we get together, she always takes advantage of her, and she refuses even though she gives hints. This is really puzzling.
Lin Jinxiao could roughly see the slender calves pressed against her body through the little bit of starlight that filtered through the willow window. This bold and rough sleeping posture seemed a bit incompatible with her petite figure, but it was in contrast to her current carefree appearance.
