Second Uncle Chang muttered something to himself angrily, and immediately stood up calmly, already intending to say goodbye: "Da Lang, don't be discouraged. Listen to your ex-wife and take good care of yourself."
"Second uncle is leaving now?"
Lin Jinxiao took the crutches and wanted to get up.
"Don't move, don't move. I just wanted to come over and see you. Now that this person has seen you, I feel relieved."
Uncle Chang smiled and glanced meaningfully at Wan, who was still sitting upright.
Mrs. Wan felt quite depressed.
I said it well before going out, but I didn't expect him to regret it now.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he disliked Lin Jinxiao for being a cripple, so he decided not to mention the marriage.
But his girl was bored at home all day long, almost turning into an old lady if she didn't leave the house or take a step forward. She was talking about asking questions with great concentration, but in her heart she was still thinking about the worldly world.
The eldest son of the second wife has been an official for many years and has opened a house outside. The two concubines have also married outside. Now there is only this old lady left in the house, and she is still a legitimate daughter.
It's hard to really persuade someone to go to Taoism, but she refused to persuade her to get married and stayed at home, affecting the daily life of her family of three.
Now we have finally found a suitable marriage. In terms of family status, we are now considered to be a good match. In terms of appearance, the old lady and the lame man are a perfect match. I don't know what else this old immortal will choose.
Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly away, Wan could not swallow this breath. At the risk of being scolded by Uncle Chang, she said bluntly: "Da Lang, your uncle is right, you take good care of yourself."
, you also know what Yan Ning is thinking about you, etc."
"It's all in the past, so don't mention it."
Second Uncle Chang quickly stopped what Wan was about to say and said instead: "Dalang, don't worry about it. Second Uncle doesn't want to dislike you. At first, you were just a filial and honest person in the village who had not become an official. Second Uncle still agreed."
Following the advice of your mentor and mistress, you accepted this marriage, but now you are the father of several children."
At this point, he was a little embarrassed to speak, and he stopped talking several times before he was willing to continue:
"Second uncle, please speak frankly. If there is nothing wrong with your legs and feet, then second uncle will entrust Yan Ning to you. Even if she is asked to help take care of several children, second uncle will be relieved. But with you like this, second uncle is only afraid of Yan Ning."
Not only will I not be able to share your worries by coming here, it will actually drag you down."
There was nothing wrong with this tactful tone, which made Lin Jinxiao feel convinced.
If he hadn't originally wanted to see such an ending, if it were to happen to a normal person, it would probably be nerve-wracking for a while.
"Actually, my legs still have hope."
Before Lin Jinxiao finished speaking, Second Uncle Chang immediately waved his hand: "Da Lang, you don't need to say more, you still have official duties, so Second Uncle won't delay you."
After saying that, she pulled Wan, who looked unwilling, and ran away, for fear that he would mention the marriage again.
Lin Jinxiao looked at the two people tugging and tugging, and secretly sighed. He didn't expect Uncle Chang to be so easy to fool.
For a moment, he felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart.
The Chang family was kind to him, and Chang Yanning had a friendship with him as classmates. Although what happened back then was not his intention, upon closer inspection, he ultimately failed the Chang family.
Times have changed, and words that are too straightforward can be hurtful, so he has no choice but to use these tactics to become more passive and proactive.
Comparing the attitude towards Liu Yun and his family when he was in trouble, Lin Jinxiao suddenly felt extremely warm in his heart.
In this world, everyone is willing to share joys and sorrows, but those who are willing to share hardships can only meet through destined fate.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel grateful to his stepmother.
If it weren't for this woman, he really wouldn't have been so lucky to meet such kind father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"I wonder what the lady who is treating her husband's lame leg is doing now?"
Lin Jinxiao put one hand on the edge of the tea table and thought quietly.
The family was managed by her mother-in-law and two aunts, so as expected, she must have gone to the shop in the east of the city at this time.
"But in what capacity should my husband go to see her now, and what excuse should he use to get past her so that she won't be bored?"
Lin Jinxiao walked to his desk, picked up several volumes of documents on legal studies on the table, and slowly shook his head.
He always felt that his wife was hiding a lot of things, and her skills and knowledge in solving these cases were not something that the village scholar in Tong'an Village could teach her.
I'm afraid there's someone else behind this.
Perhaps she was already proficient in various laws and regulations, and her previous worries seemed unnecessary.
With this thought, Lin Jinxiao gradually put down the manuscript in his hand.
To say that her favorite thing is to solve cases, but even if it is to please her, she cannot deliberately create a bunch of things to torment her by wasting time and money.
"Well, go and see the babies?"
Lin Jinxiao's clear eyes flashed with a hint of cunning. He secretly called the servants outside and ordered: "You ask the cook in the back kitchen to go out and buy some good ingredients. I am going to entertain guests tonight."
"That humble job makes the cooks stay late at night."
As soon as the officer finished speaking, Lin Jinxiao waved his hand and said: "No need, just buy the ingredients."
After saying that, he immediately wrote a list and handed it to the yamen servant, and told him to let the cook arrange it according to what he wrote. He also explained some official matters and then went straight out of the yamen office.
Chu Nanzhi sent Liu Yun away, and Liu Shuyang's mother and son-in-law led Sang Qi to the shop in the east of the city.
It was now the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was too late to choose this day to open the restaurant. After some thought, she temporarily booked the restaurant's opening date for the Double Ninth Festival next month.
The staff hired in this way have enough time to train, and the various secret sauces and the restaurant's pre-set preparations can be more fully prepared.
When they arrived at the shop, the handyman craftsmen, under the supervision of Zhao's housekeeper, began to repair the yard according to the various drawings given by Chu Nanzhi yesterday.
According to Chu Nanzhi's drawings, the entire house needs major modifications to the guest rooms in the backyard used for lodging, while the front yard used for cooking and pool gardens for entertainment only need to be slightly modified, and then the back yard is cut open.
Building a wall will be a matter of course.
Seeing the team of hundreds of people busy around the yard, Chu Nanzhi felt extremely comfortable.
Thinking about it, this is the benefit of cooperating with a large consortium. You only need to provide strategic plans, and you don't need to do the hard work yourself. This is much easier than you originally expected.
The difficulty of financing in ancient times was much more difficult than that of her time. She was indeed lucky to have obtained 20,000 taels of funds without any effort.
"If I can't find out the entrustment for Taigong Zhao in the future, I don't know if this old man will kill my mother with his own hands."
Chu Nanzhi speculated for a while with lingering fear, but she heard Sang Qi whisper in her ear: "Master, the master is here."
Chu Nanzhi looked around and saw a straight figure strolling in.
