I thought I had read many books by sages, understood many truths, and pursued many true meanings of life, but a few words from the other party revealed the truth...
I was immersed in the excitement of beauty, unable to extricate myself, but I ignorantly thought that I had found true love, found the passion of life, thought that I was reborn, but in fact it was just a short-lived joy...
"Thank you, Madam Magistrate, for waking me up. I will never forget the dishes you served on this table. The student has resigned." After saying this, the man stood up, bowed deeply to Haitang, and then left the hall.
Looking at his back, Haitang knew that this man had understood.
"Haitang, in the future, the mute girl and I will have a conflict, and you can be responsible for mediating it." Mr. Zhang witnessed the whole thing.
"If that's the case, I will leave you soon, dumb girl." Haitang said with a smile.
"Ah, it's not fair. You should patiently persuade me." Mr. Zhang felt so aggrieved.
"That woman can't leave her husband, but my sister can leave you, so I have to clamp her tail." Haitang said jokingly.
Mr. Zhang looked back at his tailbone in cooperation...
The next day, the third day, and the following days and nights, the woman did not go to the county government office to cause trouble.
The county government's appeal for grievance was saved.
The acting county magistrate came specially to thank Haitang.
"You're welcome. The food the defendant consumed at the club should be recorded on the county government's bill," Haitang said.
"Madam, madam, you also know that the county government is so poor that you can't even afford a chicken feather. As the wife of the county magistrate who owns a dyeing shop and a guild hall, you are very wealthy. Can you please accommodate the county government? I'm sorry to say this, but the county magistrate has a lot of money.
The government really can't get out a penny. It turned out that there was still some money, but it was all taken away by the previous one..." The acting county magistrate is great. I feel sorry. They helped you, but you still took advantage of them.
"Haha, I'm joking with you, but you really believe it. I hope everything goes well for you when Datong is away, so that he will be happy when he comes back and sees all this." Haitang said.
"Great, you are such a good person." The acting magistrate rubbed his head and giggled sheepishly.
"The county government's finances are so tight. You usually want to have a dinner or organize an event, but you don't have any money to spend?" Haitang asked.
"They are all members of our own family. I don't mind what you said. There is no such thing as a dinner party. Even the patrol knife that the yamen officer brought with him when he went on patrol didn't have the money to replace it with a new one." The acting county magistrate shook his head bitterly.
"Isn't there any allocation from above?" Haitang asked.
"I have applied many times, but they have all been rejected. Now it is good to be able to pay the wages of the government officials. I heard that the state treasury spent a lot of money on equipment for the border troops. Those of us from the mainland are just so-so.
When it comes to deductions, no one can do anything about it," the acting magistrate said.
"Then you have to fend for yourself. The higher ups are unreliable. Dad can't always be relied on," Haitang said.
"Is there anything you can do? You can't just move rocks. You don't have the time, let alone farming." The county magistrate was very anxious and didn't know where to start to increase his income.
All the acting county magistrate can think of is what everyone generally does.
Farming, transporting, and doing business are all not suitable for government officials.
"Government servants work very hard and have to support their families. These are not them," Haitang said.
The acting county magistrate also agreed that he had met a confidant!
