Chapter 231 Bringing Back the Madam
Hang Qi: “…”
After all, I have studied hard for many years, why would I be so blinded by money?
"In that case, then I won't give it to you." Xiao Yongyan followed Lin Xi's words.
"What do you two think of the county government? This is an office space, not your backyard." Hang Qi said angrily.
But Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan didn't think there was anything wrong. Xiao Yongyan said, "Since you have received the money, you should fulfill your promise."
After saying that, he followed Lin Xi to the house where she was staying temporarily.
You won’t know until you see it. Xiao Yongyan was shocked when he looked around. “The environment here is indeed better than at home. It would be nice to have a baby here.”
Lin Xi looked at Xiao Yongyan in confusion, "You took it seriously, I thought you knew I was teasing Hang Qi on purpose."
She had no intention of giving birth to a child in the county government office.
"So, you are willing to go home?" Xiao Yongyan immediately interpreted another meaning from Lin Xi's words.
Lin Xi immediately regretted it. It was too early to say that. "You can ask me to go back. I have conditions."
"Madam, please speak." Xiao Yongyan listened attentively.
"First, you are not allowed to restrict what I eat or how much I eat." Lin Xi said.
Xiao Yongyan frowned immediately, "Xi'er, I was inconsiderate before, but I did it for your own good."
"Secondly," Lin Xi stared at Xiao Yongyan fiercely, "Don't let me hear words like 'this is for your own good' again."
Xiao Yongyan thought for a long time and didn't say anything.
Lin Xi's eyes were dangerous. "I know better than you how to take care of my body. I didn't read all those books in vain."
To be honest, Xiao Yongyan was skeptical about what Lin Xi said.
After all, he had already discovered the flaw from Lin Xi's second brother, but now that Lin Xi still said so, he pretended to be dumb and didn't know.
Not only has he offended his wife, but it has also done him no good at all.
"Okay, I can agree to this." Xiao Yongyan finally chose to compromise.
Lin Xi nodded in satisfaction. Xiao Yongyan would not easily agree to other people's requests. Once he agreed, he would definitely find a way to do it and would definitely not let her down.
"We can't stay in the county government office forever. Let's go back today." Xiao Yongyan said.
Lin Xi quickly stopped the man and said, "Wait a minute, I really have to live in the county government office for the time being."
Xiao Yongyan was puzzled, "Why?"
Lin Xi smiled and said, "The paper mill has just been established. I have to keep an eye on many things myself."
"I have asked Wang Jing to handle this matter." Xiao Yongyan said.
"I spent so much effort to build this paper mill, and now you want me to watch someone else run it. This won't do. Besides, I'm pregnant, and my leg isn't broken. There's nothing I can't do." Lin Xi said angrily.
This was the first time that Xiao Yongyan felt the fickle temper of a pregnant woman. Since his wife was pregnant, he had to compromise no matter what.
"Well, I'll go with you."
"No need, Youlan will be fine as long as you accompany me."
"No, I'll do it." Xiao Yongyan refused without even thinking. Youlan was a carefree girl, and if anything happened to her, it would be too late for him to regret.
"It's settled, I'll go with you, but you have to promise me that you won't get tired." Xiao Yongyan said.
Lin Xi looked up at the sky, speechless for a while, "It's just sitting and talking for a few words, how can it be tiring?"
Xiao Yongyan worried about this impossible thing every day.
After the agreement was reached, the two of them went out to the paper mill together.
The yamen runner saw this scene and thought that the couple had been sent away by the master, so he quickly flattered them, "Next time this couple comes, I will stop them and never let them disturb the master's work again."
"No need. Just pretend you didn't see it from now on." After saying this, Hang Qi turned and left, leaving the yamen runner guarding the door speechless. What was going on? Had their master changed his personality?
He looked so irreconcilable just now, why did he suddenly become so gentle now?
What exactly happened here? However, as a gatekeeper, he had no way of finding out.
Paper mill.
Wang Jing was supervising the work inside. He sat in the room, fanning himself and drinking tea.
Lin Xi looked at Wang Jing and smiled, "Young Master Wang is really leisurely."
Wang Jing saw Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan coming in and almost jumped up from his chair. "Oh, Madam Xiao, you are finally willing to pay attention to this guy. You don't know that when you were gone yesterday, this guy almost turned the entire county upside down. Hey, where did you go yesterday?"
"I'm at the county government office." Lin Xi said.
Wang Jing: "Oh, the county government... the county... government?"
"yes."
"Why are you going to the county government office for no reason?" Wang Jing really couldn't understand. They thought of thousands of possibilities yesterday, but they didn't expect that she would be in the county government office.
"Oh my god," Lin Xi certainly wouldn't say that she was angry, and instead said, "Don't you think Hang Qi is someone we can win over? Anyway, we are on his territory now."
Wang Jing expressed disdain for Lin Xi's statement.
"What's Hang Qi? He's just a county magistrate. Officials of this rank are not worth mentioning in the capital." Wang Jing's family is of high status, and an official of the rank of county magistrate is considered too low to be worthy of their attention.
"But this place is far away from the emperor. In other words, he is just a local tyrant." Lin Xi said.
Wang Jing was surprised at Lin Xi's innovative statement. He had never heard anyone describe the county magistrate as a local tyrant.
But anyway, to some extent, what Lin Xi said was not wrong.
"Don't you know how to give up your seat?" Xiao Yongyan finally couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him.
Wang Jing and Lin Xi have been chatting since just now. This guy is also blind. Doesn’t he see that his wife is tired?
Wang Jing was speechless and complained, "Xiao Yongyan, that seat over here is not empty, why do you have to let me sit here?"
Lin Xi was a little bit amused and helpless at the hands of Xiao Yongyan. The daily life of a new father was really too stressful.
"I won't sit. How are you all now? Have you adapted?" Lin Xi asked.
Wang Jing was stunned. "I just got here and haven't had time to see it yet."
After that, he stood up and said, "But I think everyone is doing a good job. After all, they are veterans, so there is no need to worry too much."
Lin Xi nodded, "Then I'll go take a look."
After saying that, he went towards the production workshop. Some of the facilities here were moved directly from their original locations, but some were freshly made.
When he walked to the first place where raw materials were processed, Lin Xi saw everyone picking materials together.
The raw materials for making Xuan paper are rather mixed and must be processed through selection, chopping, pounding, steaming, etc. before they can be further turned into paper pulp.
The two people who were picking were talking and laughing, and were working very happily. They didn't even notice Lin Xi coming over, and were still chatting enthusiastically.
Lin Xi wanted to step forward to stop it, but was suddenly stopped by Wang Jing beside him.
