"Ping'er, please go to the accountant's office and pay some silver to send to the family of this girl who left early. It's a token of appreciation from the Leng family to comfort her," Leng Zhiqiu said.
Haitang raised her head and looked slightly at this calm and kind-hearted woman.
Would such a woman steal a husband? Haitang didn't believe it.
"I heard that there have been no accidents near this pond, but outsiders don't know the depth of the pond, so I suggested that Miss Leng build a fence here and write words like 'Be careful of falling into the water'," Datong said.
"Master Tian is right, the women will make arrangements. Please come in and have tea." Leng Zhiqiu made a gesture of invitation.
Datong should have withdrawn after handling the case. This has always been his style, but today, he didn't. Instead, he just went with the flow.
"The county magistrate's surname is Tian, Miss Leng, and your husband's surname is also Tian. What a coincidence. Maybe we were the same family five hundred years ago." Lamei pulled the two of them together.
Tian Niu gave wintersweet a "praise" look.
"Master Tian, please have some tea." Leng Zhiqiu poured the tea himself.
"Miss Leng, you're welcome. My birth name is Tian Datong. There's no need to call me sir, it's yours." When Datong said this, he glanced at Lao Tian...
"Are you Tian Datong?" Lao Tian's eyes finally stared at Datong. His eyes were full of surprise, panic, and some complicated meanings...
"Yes. Master Tian." Datong nodded and looked at him as well.
"What, Lao Tian, do you know each other?" Leng Zhiqiu asked with a smile.
"Tian Datong is this year's top pick in the new subject. He was appointed by the emperor. Who doesn't know?" Lao Tian smiled and suppressed the excitement in his heart...
"I see, that's disrespectful." Leng Zhiqiu said with a smile.
Seeing that Lao Tian's wave was about to subside, Tian Niu knew it was time for her to stand up and reveal her identity.
"My name is Tian Niu, and I am Tian Datong's sister. Brother, thank you for your hard work." Tian Niu came over, held Datong's arm, and still stared at Old Tian with a dead fish look.
Lao Tian was shocked again...
Tian Niu, Datong...
"Er Tong and my mother are still waiting for us at home. Brother, let's go home." Tian Niu said again. She knew that the county government still had official business, but she just said this.
Ertong, mother...
These words deeply stimulated Lao Tian...
It was like opening up a scar in his heart that would never heal.
"So you are brother and sister, no wonder there are some similarities between your eyebrows." Leng Zhiqiu said with a smile. She really didn't know about this relationship.
"Ms. Leng's words are wrong. People with similar eyebrows may not necessarily regard each other as real relatives. There are also some people who cannot recognize each other, and some even don't want to recognize them at all." After this period of learning, Lamei
, her speech and behavior already have the style of Xiaojiabiyu.
On top of the simple and kind-hearted nature of the country girl, there is an extra layer of sophistication, like lace on a gauze.
Leng Zhiqiu smiled and didn't ask or say any more. She seemed to sense that something was wrong in the atmosphere...
"Boss Bai, how about I go to Haitang Dyeing House to choose some cloth another day?" Leng Zhiqiu said.
"You are always welcome." This was the first time that Haitang was called Boss Bai, and she felt a little uncomfortable. It was different from when others called her Haitang.
"By the way, I haven't introduced you to you, but the boss Bai of Haitang Dyeing House is my wife." Datong smiled.
