Lao He felt guilty and moved his body in a different direction, subconsciously not wanting Lin Jiuniang to notice the package on his back.
Lin Jiuniang seemed to have not seen it and said casually:
"No, I just suddenly remembered that this boat has been used for a few months, so I wanted to come and see if there is anything that needs maintenance."
"Lao He, you are a master craftsman. Do you think this ship needs maintenance?"
Lao He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No need now."
After hesitating for a moment, he continued, "In two months, the dry season will come. At that time, a major overhaul will be enough."
"Well, in this regard, Lao He, you are professional, I believe in professionalism," Lin Jiuniang nodded.
Lao He felt guilty and his palms were sweating.
He lowered his head, not daring to look at Lin Jiuniang, "No...if nothing happens, I'll leave first."
After saying that, I hurriedly wanted to get off the boat.
Lin Jiuniang turned around and looked at his figure, "What's the rush? I've already sent people to your house to invite your wife and children over."
"Speaking of which, you have been working for me for a long time and have never even treated you and your family to a proper dinner."
"How about I be the host and treat you and your wife and children to a meal tonight?"
Lao He stiffened, stopped, slowly turned around and looked at Lin Jiuniang with a pale face, and said hesitantly:
"You...you know everything?"
"I don't know much, I want to hear your explanation," Lin Jiuniang looked at him indifferently, "How precious."
"Hidden, it's really deep."
Lao He smiled bitterly, "I never thought of hiding it from you."
"If I said that I would sail the boat for you, it was an accident. Would you believe me?"
"Letter," Lin Jiuniang nodded.
Lin Jiuniang's words made Lao He stunned. He still had a wry smile on his face, "I didn't do anything sorry for you, and I didn't cheat the brothers on the ship."
"So, you should be lucky, otherwise you would have been kicked into the river by me at this time," Lin Jiuniang shook her head, "I will help you rescue your wife and daughter.
They kidnapped your family and threatened you to do things you don't want to do, and you should speak out."
"Based on my current position in Anle Town, Lin Jiuniang, it's just a matter of one sentence to rescue them, isn't it?"
"It's a pity that you don't believe me."
Lao He was silent, he didn't know how to answer Lin Jiuniang's question.
He didn't know if she would believe him if he said it.
After all, he is a brother of He Fugui, and his wife is a daughter of the Xie family. Anyone else would be suspected of teaming up with the Xie family to cheat her.
Lao He raised his head and said in a hoarse voice, "How did you find out?"
"It's calculated."
Lin Jiuniang looked at him and said, "You want to delay time, so this trip will take longer."
"I have read your voyage records and calculated your speed. Normally, this trip is the slowest and can return in twenty days, but it took five days longer than it actually did."
"So, I asked someone to check it out."
Lao He smiled bitterly.
"Just tell me what you want to do with me. I won't blame you."
"Deal with you? Why do you think so? Am I such an unreasonable person?" Lin Jiuniang sighed, "But to be honest, I am quite angry.
Because you don’t believe me, you know?”
"Concerning He Fugui's matter, all sensible people know that his death has nothing to do with me. And I got this dock upright.
There's nothing shameful about it, so to be honest, I'm really not afraid of you causing trouble."
Lao He shook his head, He Fugui and his family were to blame themselves, and no one else was to blame.
He just felt sorry for the He family's ancestral inheritance, but he really never thought about revenge or anything.
He is self-aware.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Jiuniang shook her head and said, "From now on, if you need anything, come to me.
If you do things for me, as long as you don't cause trouble intentionally, I will naturally protect you, and..."
Lin Jiuniang glanced at the baggage on his back with ulterior motives, "Don't do anything stupid."
At this moment, a carriage appeared at the dock in the darkness and drove slowly towards this direction.
Lin Jiuniang glanced at the direction of the carriage and said, "Get off, they have already taken your wife and daughter out of Xie's house."
Lao He glanced at Lin Jiuniang excitedly, quickly got off the boat and went straight to the carriage.
The carriage stopped in front of Lao He.
His wife and daughter soon got out of the carriage, and the next moment, the family hugged each other and cried bitterly.
When they had cried enough, Lin Jiuniang appeared behind them and asked Lao He and others to get in the car. She had someone take them back.
But unexpectedly, at this moment, Lin Li actually kicked Li Shaobo.
Li Shaobo felt pain and groaned.
Lin Jiuniang raised her eyebrows, "Is something wrong?"
"He is meddling in other people's business," Lin Li pointed at Li Shaobo and said with a cold face.
Lin Jiuniang looked at Li Shaobo and said, "Say."
I wanted Lin Li to tell the story in detail, but I was afraid that it would be too embarrassing for her, and it was very likely that she would just shake her head and leave, so naturally I asked Li Shaobo if he could come faster.
Li Shaobo touched the painful area and told the story.
This time, they went to the Xie family in Heping Village to ask for someone. It could be said that they had to call them all the way. Of course, this was all Lin Jiuniang's intention.
She wanted to completely scare the Xie family.
Although two people came to fight, it was Li Shaobo who took the most shots and received the most beatings.
After finally getting the person out, when he was about to leave, unexpectedly, a man covered in blood rushed out and hugged Li Shaobo, said "Save me" and then fainted.
Then, ignoring the anxious Xie family, he rescued the person.
Li Shaobo lowered his head unnaturally. Did he cause trouble for Mrs. Lin?
He himself is dependent on others, so what qualifications do he have to save others?
What if the person he saved was a bad person?
He shuddered. Did he do something wrong?
"Ms. Lin, I'm sorry, I..."
"Why do you want to save him?" Lin Jiuniang interrupted him. Li Shaobo had gone through family changes, so he shouldn't be the kind of person who would save people casually.
Li Shaobo was really stunned by Lin Jiuniang's words.
After thinking for a while, he said:
"He shouldn't be an ordinary person. The clothes he wears are not something ordinary people can afford, and his hands..." Li Shaobo stopped and thought about everything about the other person seriously, "Slender and well-defined finger bones, and there is nothing in the palm of his hand..."
Handcocoon should be a pampered person."
As he said that, he lowered his head in embarrassment, "I guessed that the other person was either rich or noble, so I thought that if I saved the other person, I might be able to form a good relationship or something."
To be pampered, either rich or noble?
Lin Jiuniang probably guessed who the unlucky guy was and raised her eyebrows, "Then you really saved an amazing person."
Li Shaobo smiled bitterly, "Ms. Lin, please stop making fun of me.
I regret it now. I saved him, but what if I cause trouble for you?"
"Now that you know it, don't be too kind in the future. Let's forget it this time." Lin Jiuniang shook her head, "I know the person you saved."
"Li Shaobo, you have to remember that good intentions are not a bad thing, but you need to be more prepared.
But don’t save someone with good intentions, only to get beaten up, you know?”
Li Shaobo nodded to express that he remembered it, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't cause trouble for Mrs. Lin.
He immediately became curious about the other party's identity.
Mrs. Lin knew someone who happened to appear in Heping Village and was injured. Who could it be?
