As soon as Si Bao heard about studying, he immediately became interested and said with a smile: "Okay, ok, Si Bao also wants to study, but my father has no money to send us to a private school in the village."
The little guy glanced at Chu Nanzhi meaningfully, but hesitated to speak next.
Chu Nanzhi turned her face away, and immediately realized that Xiao Sibao was afraid of saying the last half of the sentence.
Yes, the original owner is so selfish and hates children, how could he think of sending the little ones to study and learn calligraphy.
Lin Jinxiao's previous salary was not enough for her to go to the county to have her teeth cut.
But now that I have accepted this body, I should think more about it.
Even if she and Lin Jinxiao are reconciled, she is the mother of four little babies. This is an indisputable fact.
She absolutely did not want the little ones to become vicious criminals in the future due to lack of education and correct guidance.
Staring at Si Bao, she smiled knowingly: "Then we don't go to private school. Can we let Grandpa Chang and Grandpa Nie teach us?"
"Grandpa Chang and Grandpa Nie are not willing to teach children like us."
Si Bao pursed his lips, lowered his head secretly, and played with the toys by himself.
Chu Nanzhi looked at Xiao Sibao's frustrated face, but he already had an idea in his mind.
Others may not be able to handle those two strange old men, but I may have a way to make them willingly accept four young disciples.
As the carriage gradually drove back to the village entrance, Xiao Sibao realized that he was not far from home. He suddenly raised his head and stared at Chu Nanzhi quietly.
Chu Nanzhi noticed something was wrong with the little guy and asked cautiously: "What's wrong?"
"I really want to call you auntie all the time."
Xiao Sibao buried his head tightly, thinking about everything.
How could Chu Nanzhi see through the little guy's thoughts? He smiled bitterly and said, "You're afraid Dabao and the others won't be happy if they find out."
Si Bao raised his head and shook his head stubbornly, not daring to tell the truth.
Those three little guys are still very angry now, and Chu Nanzhi is actually worried that the Four Treasures will be alienated and bullied by them because of this matter.
Approaching Xiao Si Bao, Chu Nanzhi patted her little head gently and said gently: "Then from now on, you can call me A Niang when they are not around, and when you are with your brothers and sisters, call me A Niang."
Is it the same?"
When Xiao Sibao heard this, he immediately threw himself into her arms with a full smile.
Chu Nanzhi's heart instantly melted, and she looked at Little Si Bao quietly with loving eyes. This poor, thin little girl always lived so cautiously, which was really heartbreaking.
She didn't expect the little ones to call her mother willingly. She just hoped that they would no longer hate her when she left, and she would be satisfied.
Waiting for the carriage to arrive in the yard, Chu Nanzhi pulled Si Bao out of the carriage and entered the yard casually. He looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was setting in the west.
The sunset illuminated the entire courtyard in red.
Hearing footsteps at the courtyard door, the people inside immediately rushed out, several golden faces shining brightly in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Chu Nanzhi looked intently and saw Li Ce and his wife Zhou leading three little guys to greet them.
When Si Bao saw this, he was so happy that he ran to the back room:
"Dad, grandma helped the county magistrate grandpa solve the case today and caught the bad guys. Grandma is so powerful."
In this happiness, I actually forgot about my agreement with the bad woman.
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but frowned.
The three little guys next to Li Ce also instantly darkened their faces. They left Li Ce and followed Si Bao unhappily into the house.
Mrs. Zhou came over to hold Chu Nanzhi carelessly, and said with a friendly smile: "Sister-in-law, did you solve the case so quickly?"
Chu Nanzhi nodded slightly, and followed the few little guys who entered the room with the corner of his eyes.
With a gentle look on her face, Mrs. Zhou pointed in the direction of the kitchen: "Afraid that my sister-in-law would come back late, Lang Jun said there were no vegetables left at home, so I dug some freshly unearthed potatoes in the ground and killed a chicken to stew it.
I need to replenish my brother's health, he's almost healed now, and my sister-in-law is back just in time, so go in and have a meal."
Hearing Zhou's words, Chu Nanzhi immediately came back to his senses and hurried back from the county in a dusty state. She was really hungry.
But unexpectedly, this woman killed her own chickens again, and ate two of her chickens in less than half a month. Chu Nanzhi felt really sorry, and while scolding softly, she went to take out the money:
"It's good to have potatoes. Why kill the chickens again? I've been busy going to the county these past two days and forgot to prepare some vegetables at home. I've already caused trouble for you and your wife. Where?"
But before Chu Nanzhi finished speaking, she was stopped by the Zhou family along with the money in her hand:
"Sister-in-law asked Sanlang to take five taels of silver home yesterday. Even the chickens in the whole chicken coop at the slave's house are not enough to cover the silver. Sister-in-law, please stop saying such unreasonable things."
"My good sister, my sister-in-law didn't give you the money just to settle the accounts with me."
Chu Nanzhi curled her lips angrily and pulled her to persuade her: "Since you don't want your sister-in-law to have an affair, then you should stop talking to her about an affair, and don't mention money anymore in the future."
Mrs. Zhou blushed a little.
No matter how I calculated it, my sister-in-law suffered a big loss.
I took five taels of silver from someone for no reason. Such a huge amount of money always made me feel uneasy.
Chu Nanzhi knew that this woman was a real person, and the five taels of silver were originally thought to be troublesome for the couple during this period, so she gave her some hard work.
I never thought that the case would be solved after just one visit to the Zhao Mansion. It was indeed a bit unexpected.
In order to make her feel at ease, Chu Nanzhi took Zhou's hand and said while walking inside:
"Let's go in and have dinner together first. You can treat the money as Saburo's salary for taking care of my elder brother. There will be a lot of trouble for you in the future, so don't be polite to my sister-in-law anymore."
"I won't eat anymore. I tasted the food cooked by my sister-in-law last time. It was very delicious. My family is a rough guy. I'm afraid that the chicken soup won't be good enough to spoil my sister-in-law's appetite. I came here to help. The children at home
Still waiting."
After saying that, she threw Chu Nanzhi away hard and ran away. She kept shouting: "Sister-in-law, let Sanlang stay here, and wait until the serving brother goes to sleep to ask him to go back later."
Then the shadow disappeared.
Chu Nanzhi shook her head helplessly, looked at Li Ce and said with a smile: "You are such a reserved lady. You have been busy in the house for a long time and you are not even willing to sit down and drink."
"Sister-in-law, leave her alone."
Li Ce touched the back of his head nonchalantly, thinking of what Si Bao had just said, he asked in disbelief:
"Sister-in-law, did you really solve the case so quickly?"
"Well, I didn't expect that either."
Looking up at him, Chu Nanzhi suddenly said happily: "You can go back to the county government office tomorrow."
"Really?"
"Of course, my sister-in-law is an honest person and cannot tell lies."
Li Ce was a little skeptical about this, but in an instant he smiled like a child.
The two of them walked into the house together, and saw Dabao, Erbao, and Sanbao all looking bitterly at Lin Ruijia, the fourth treasure.
Little Si Bao huddled up beside the guest table in aggrieved manner, not daring to raise his head.
At this time, Lin Jinxiao was limping out of the back room on crutches.
Seeing the scene in the living room, Lin Jinxiao's face was full of doubts. He looked at the four treasures and then at the other three little guys. His handsome face suddenly turned gloomy:
"Have you bullied the Four Treasures?"
"No."
Little Si Bao huddled next to the table leg and started crying.
"You are not allowed to cry."
Dabaolin Ruiwen shouted.
"We are not Xiao Erlang, and Dad is not Blacksmith Zhao. Who are you crying for?"
Erbao Lin Ruixi rolled her eyes at Sibao with some disdain.
Lin Jinxiao's sword-shaped eyebrows were slightly curved, and his sharp eyes gradually became tinged with anger: "What's going on?"
While speaking, I had already made some guesses in my mind, and just now I seemed to have heard Si Bao call me mother.
The little ones immediately lowered their heads and didn't reply in a dull tone.
Chu Nanzhi knew this very well, so she went over to pick up Si Baolin Ruijia, and said sternly with the other three:
"Whether you admit it or not, I am your grandma. This is the fact that you have recognized since you came out of my womb. If you don't want to scream, I will not force you, but you can't embarrass others because of it."
