Chapter 806

Daji had already been waiting for the old lady to call, so he came over quickly. He whispered what the young master had said to scare Zhou Lang, and also reported the suspicion that the two children were hiding in the room.

Mrs. Liu didn't expect that the two children could guess Man Bao's life experience. After a moment of silence, she waved her hand and said, "I understand, you can go down."

Daji bowed and stepped back.

Mrs. Liu couldn't help but sigh.

Aunt Liu asked: "Old madam, will the Zhou family tell Miss Man?"

Mrs. Liu pondered for a moment and said: "Whether they say it or not, we have to say it. The Zhou family has been very worried recently, and Magistrate Tang is about to investigate here, so I will say everything that needs to be said.

.As for whether they tell Man Bao, it is up to them to make their own decision."

In his previous life, he and Lao Zhoutou were thinking about it now. They were looking at each other from a distance and communicating with their eyes.

Man Bao raised her little head, looked at her father, and then at her mother. Seeing that they were flirting so unscrupulously in front of her, she was so angry that she slapped the bed.

The couple then lowered their heads to look at her.

Man Bao felt a little guilty. It was very rude to lose her temper with her parents. She retracted her hand and pouted: "Mom, dad, just tell me, or I will ask my brother and sister-in-law."

, and the people in the village, do they also know?"

Mrs. Qian sighed and asked, "Couldn't this longevity lock be given to you by your parents from somewhere else?"

"Where did you get it?" Man Bao broke the casserole and asked, "Mom, Magistrate Tang is checking our home now. I don't know what he is checking, but I also think that such a good longevity lock will be of great help to our family.

It’s unaffordable.”

Qian was silent for a moment and then said: "Your uncle made this longevity lock..."

Man Bao looked at Qian quietly.

Qian then closed his eyes and looked at Lao Zhoutou.

Lao Zhoutou sat on the chair and sighed: "Let's talk, the children already know, what's the point of hiding it? The officials are about to come, and we don't know what to do by then. We have to let everyone know

Bao go and burn incense for the couple."

In his previous life, he touched Man Bao's head and said, "Man Bao, you are indeed not your mother's child. You are your brother-in-law's and aunt's child."

Manbao's tears fell, and he wiped them and said: "I knew it, Shanbao and I had guessed it. Mom, tell me everything about them. Why don't you raise me as your niece?

How about raising her as a daughter?"

Qian took Man Bao's hand and told in detail about Zhou Yin's return after selling himself, "...You were only six months old at the time, and you didn't even know you were born. When your mother hugged you, you started to giggle.

The season was changing at that time and the weather was uncertain. You just came back. I don’t know if you were acclimated to the climate, but you felt a little miserable the next day. Your parents asked someone to carry the luggage here, but only delivered it to the county town, so they

On the third day, I will go to the city to pick up my luggage and buy some things that are in short supply. I thought it would be bad for you to be on the go all the time because you are young, so I kept you here."

When she returned from her dream at midnight, Qian was thankful for her persuasion more than once, but she also regretted it. She should have left the couple behind at that time. If they had only entered the city a day later, it might have been different.

"Your father and mother," Qian choked up when he said this, and said with red eyes: "They were killed by someone in the Dahu Mountain where they entered the city. Your father and mother's faces were slashed with a knife.

We talked several times. When your fourth brother brought them back, we wanted to go to the county to report the crime, but before we had time to go, an official came to the village with your father's portrait and said that your father was a bandit..."

Man Bao opened his mouth in surprise.

Qian held her hand tightly and said: "How could your father be a bandit? He has been kind-hearted since he was a child. This time he returned to his hometown just to settle down and start a family in the village. He has a wife and children, how could he do such a thing?

Beheading? He was unjustly accused, but those officials took his portrait and swore that we, I, didn’t dare to recognize it..."

Man Bao asked: "My father sold himself, how did he redeem himself, and how did he make so much money? By the way, who is my mother?"

Qian wiped the tears on her face and said: "Your father said that when he sold himself to the caravan, he followed the caravan all the way north to do business. But halfway there, maybe he was not acclimatized to the climate or because he was caught in the rain.

The fever continues and I can no longer walk."

"The steward of the caravan asked a doctor to check him out. It would cost a lot of money to cure the disease, and he couldn't leave anymore, so the caravan kept him." Qian said, "The caravan kept him for your father.

I took a few doses of medicine, but after taking the medicine, he still didn’t feel better. Your father had to stay and take it, and within a few days he spent all his savings. At that time, the people at the inn carried him outside, and it was your father who

Zu saw how pitiful he was, so he let him live in the concierge and invited a doctor to treat him."

"Your father was only fourteen years old at that time. After he recovered, he stayed at your grandfather's house to help out. Occasionally he went out to run errands for people to earn some money. I wanted to pay back the money for medical treatment to your grandfather."

Lao Zhoutou nodded repeatedly, "Your father never accepts others' benefits in vain. I guess it's because of this that your grandfather fell in love with your father, and then he recruited your father as his son-in-law. Your father will provide for them until they retire.

Then I took you and your mother back to the village."

The tears on Man Bao's face had dried up, and now he wasn't sad anymore. He just asked curiously, "What about my mother's brothers and sisters?"

In her mind, it seems that every household has brothers and sisters.

Lao Zhoutou said: "No, so the money in your grandfather's family belongs to your parents. I heard that the longevity lock around your neck was also made by your grandfather."

Man Bao thought thoughtfully, "Then isn't my father your son-in-law?"

Lao Zhou nodded, "He is my son-in-law."

Man Bao: "Then why is my surname Zhou?"

Lao Zhoutou and Qian:...

Manbao looked at her mother and then at her father.

Lao Zhou patted her head and said guiltily: "What a silly girl. You can't tell anyone about your father's return. You have to pretend to be my daughter. Can you not have a surname of Zhou?"

Man Bao lowered his head and asked, "Then, do I want to change my last name in the future?"

Lao Zhoutou said reluctantly: "No, no need?"

Qian thought: "If it can be changed, it would be better to change it back. Your grandfather gave you a name back then, but unfortunately it was a boy's name, so it is useless to your parents. I thought it would be used for your brother in the future."

,who knows……"

Mr. Qian paused and said, "Your father is a man of faith. If he says he is a son-in-law, he is a son-in-law."

Lao Zhoutou moved his legs reluctantly and whispered: "Then I also want to recruit a son-in-law for Man Bao..."

Man Bao felt that this was too far away from her, and she finally remembered the most important thing at the moment, "So Magistrate Tang is investigating the banditry? Since I said that my uncle...my father is a bandit, there will always be

The perpetrator of the theft or robbery? Who is the perpetrator?"

Qian and Lao Zhou shook their heads together and said: "We have also inquired with the yamen, but those officials are not from the county yamen, so we did not dare to inquire in detail, for fear of being suspected, we still asked your uncles to guide them.

I asked Wan'er and the county government servants personally, but found nothing."
