Chapter 228 Living in the County Government Office
But in Lin Xi's opinion, such a gorgeous place is nothing more than a cage.
She was like a bird in a cage, without any freedom.
Lin Xi walked to the door. Xiao Chu and Xiao An were standing guard at the door. "The chair in my room is a little unstable. It's probably broken. You two go and take a look."
The two men didn't suspect anything and ran over quickly.
For pregnant women, an unstable chair is a serious matter and needs to be repaired quickly.
In this way, there was no one at the gate.
As for Aunt Fu, she was busy in the kitchen and would not run to the door casually.
Lin Xi walked out of the house with a swagger. Even if he was only one meter away from the door, the air was extremely fresh.
Next, you can find a good place to hang out.
It was already afternoon, and Lin Xi was strolling on the street, eating various common snacks.
I didn’t think it was so delicious before, but after being stuck at home for a while, now everything I see seems delicious.
Lin Xi spent ten cents to buy a meat bun. It was soft and tasted really good.
She ate and walked along the way, and unknowingly arrived at the gate of the yamen.
When the bailiff saw that the person coming was Lin Xi, he immediately got a headache. What was the purpose of this young lady coming here today? He was afraid that she would make the adults angry again.
"Boss Lin, come out for a walk. You'll be ready to go home for dinner later." The bailiff greeted Lin Xi with a smile.
Go home for dinner?
Lin Xi paused, the place she least wanted to go back to was home.
"Is Lord Hang here?" Lin Xi asked.
The yamen runner was overwhelmed when he heard this, "Your Excellency is on holiday today, so you won't be working."
Lin Xi was stunned. "He still remembers to take a break? It just so happens that I have something to ask him."
"Wait a moment," the bailiff hurriedly stopped Lin Xi, "Your Excellency is on leave. If Boss Lin has any business, it would be better to contact him in a few days."
"It's not business, it's personal." Lin Xi saw the two people in front of her trying to stop her, "I'm telling you, I'm pregnant now, if something happens to me..."
Needless to say, the yamen runners knew that this lady would definitely not let them go.
"Yes, please wait a moment, I will go and pass the message on." The bailiff said resignedly.
"What's there to announce? I can go in by myself." Lin Xi went straight in. However, the two yamen runners didn't dare to stop him. They could only follow behind Lin Xi and persuade him.
"Boss Lin, please don't embarrass me. The master is really resting."
Lin Xi ignored their words and went straight to the backyard.
It just so happened that Hang Qi was drinking tea in the backyard and was surprised to see Lin Xi coming over.
"Lord Hang really has plenty of free time." Lin Xi said, looking at Hang Qi.
Hang Qi felt strange. It was strange that Lin Xi suddenly appeared here, but the key was why her tone sounded sour.
“I’m so jealous.”
Now, Hang Qi was even more puzzled and frowned, "Why did you suddenly come here?"
Lin Xi sat down on the stone bench, as naturally as if he was the owner of this place.
"Let's discuss it. How about I stay here for a while?" Lin Xi said.
When Hang Qi heard this, he almost jumped up from the stool. What did he hear? Stay for a while?
"I heard that you have rented a house in the county town. You don't want to live in your own house, but live here with me? No way!"
However, Lin Xi chose to ignore Hang Qi's answer, "It's settled. I remember you have a guest room here, so I'll stay there. Don't worry about the expenses, I'll pay for it."
After saying that, Lin Xi took out five hundred taels of silver notes from the system and slapped them in front of Hang Qi.
Although Hang Qi wanted to fight back, that was five hundred taels, which was not even his annual salary.
Most people are losers when it comes to money.
"How about it, can you agree to it?" Lin Xi asked.
Hang Qi hesitated, looking at the banknote in front of him, wanting it but feeling embarrassed to take it.
"Please accept it. Don't be so polite. I'm here to take care of the baby, and you're suffering." Lin Xi said.
Hang Qi was stunned. "What did you say? Taking care of the baby? You're pregnant!"
So this woman came here to nurture her baby. Is she crazy?
"Lin Xi, you should be at home taking care of your baby, why are you running here!" Hang Qi said, "No, get out now, or I'll find someone to take you back."
Lin Xi didn't want to go to Xiao Yongyan's place anymore. "I won't go back. It's settled. I will live here for the time being. Just eat light meals every day."
"No!" Hang Qi was firm, "You must go back."
Lin Xi frowned. Why was Hang Qi so unreasonable? She took out another five hundred taels of silver and said, "Here you go. Isn't that enough?"
A full one thousand taels is enough to build another county government office.
Hang Qi looked at the banknote in his hand and couldn't say anything more.
This is money, why should he be so picky about it?
Now that he no longer has the support of the capital, he doesn't have much money and can only rely on that little salary.
"I say, do you want some silk rice paper? I'll give you one as a gift." Lin Xi said lightly.
Hang Qi's eyes widened. "Where are you from?"
"That's what I did." Lin Xi silently rolled her eyes at Hang Qi. She had previously acquired the store with great fanfare, and it seemed that no one could see her ambitions.
"Is this okay?" After saying that, Lin Xi swaggered into the guest room.
I have to say that the government’s territory is different. It is much better than renting a house.
There is a bamboo forest behind this guest room. You can enjoy the outdoor scenery by sitting on the small corridor.
At this moment, I am free.
Lin Xi leaned against the pillar and fell asleep in a daze.
Hang Qi walked behind Lin Xi and saw her sleeping there. He sighed and said to the yamen runner, "Ask the cook to prepare something for her."
The yamen runner was startled, "Sir, do you really want Boss Lin to live here?"
"Otherwise, can you drive her away?" Hang Qi said unhappily.
The bailiff shook his head quickly, "No, no, if anything happens, I can't take the responsibility."
"You know why you don't go quickly." Hang Qi said.
The bailiff nodded quickly and ran towards the kitchen.
Hang Qi looked at Lin Xi awkwardly, sighed, went back to his room, and found the charcoal brazier for use in winter.
…
Lin Xi was awakened by the heat. She remembered that she fell asleep leaning against a pillar, but why was it so hot now?
She looked down and saw a charcoal brazier at her feet.
Please, it's autumn now, why are you burning a charcoal brazier?
Lin Xi quickly got up and went into the house. What a weird thing! Hang Qi was so awkward. If he didn’t want to take her in, he should just say so directly. Why put the charcoal basin?
How did she offend this adult?
Inside the house, Lin Xi had nothing to do, so he found Hang Qi's study.
It must be said that Hang Qi started to have a headache when he saw Lin Xi, "Why did you come here!"
Lin Xi didn't care about Hang Qi's cold words at all, and said directly, "Have you thought about what I told you last time?"
"What's the matter?" Hang Qi was still confused.
Lin Xi frowned, "It's about cooperating with us."
