Chapter 45 The Village Chief Offers Advice
Chang Xixi took out a thank-you gift from her sleeve.
The officers looked at each other in bewilderment. They had thought it was another case of bullying, but they didn't expect... it was actually a case of a good person being bullied by a bad person. So they refused to pay the money.
The village chief took the money with a clear conscience and offered a suggestion, "Why not write a document and sever ties with the second branch? Then Mrs. Li won't come to cause trouble every day. If it keeps going like this, there's no telling when it will end."
"The village chief is right. I'll go and do it when I'm free. I'm worried that it will be troublesome if Li refuses to sign."
"This is easy. We just have to go to the county government office. Since it's a good thing, the county magistrate will not be partial or corrupt." The village chief added that Li's actions were nothing but wanting money. Seeing that the eldest wife's family had become rich, she just wanted money.
Chang Xixi also thought this was a good idea. Thinking of this, she decided to do it in her heart to avoid any more trouble.
The officer listened to the two men's plan, and they didn't intend to kill anyone. They were really just trying to solve the problem. "We can talk to the county magistrate about this matter. Mr. Chang, please send the gift as well. It's not about whether the county magistrate is a good official. We can do the other case of dividing the family property."
"Then I'll trouble you two."
Chang Xixi thanked them, and only then did the two dare to take the money. After sending them away, she arranged for the students to go directly to the old teacher after class and make up for today's class tomorrow. She also sincerely apologized to everyone for delaying their studies because of her personal affairs.
The students had never seen a teacher apologize to them before, so they couldn't accept it and started to bow to Chang Xixi.
This made Qingnan, who came over and called Chang Xixi, laugh. The lady is not a pedantic person, but the students she teaches are just like the teacher. It's really interesting.
He found it interesting!
But Chang Xixi felt annoyed, as everything she taught her had gone astray.
With a sigh, he said, "All of you should go back! Review your lessons well. The imperial examination is just around the corner. There's not much time left. You have to study hard day and night."
"Thank you for your teachings, sir."
The students left one after another. Chang Xixi turned back to look at Qing Nan, "What are you laughing at?"
"Ah, madam, you heard wrongly." Qingnan replied guiltily, and then said, "The young master asked you to go to the kitchen to talk. He said that his family has been waiting for a while just to talk to you."
Chang Xixi slapped her head. How could she have forgotten about her brother and father? She still needed to ask for their opinions on what had just happened.
In the kitchen.
Gu Rongyu was chatting with his father-in-law and learned about his and Changsheng's work. He also heard about the foreman withholding wages, and he secretly took note of it. He also had a share in that area, so he would take time to ask Qingnan to go and say hello.
How can one's own family be bullied?
Unconsciously, he had already regarded Chang Xixi as his own wife and began to protect her in every way.
"Dad, big brother, I was too busy just now and didn't say hello to you. Please don't blame me. That Li is really abominable. She actually used this trick." Chang Xixi finally showed a little girl's attitude, with a little anger, which was completely different from the female talent who was full of confidence in confronting others before.
Gu Rongyu saw a different side of her again. Why didn't she show such a soft side in front of him?
Thinking this way, I felt a little jealous. Chang Xixi didn't treat me as her own, even though we went in and out together, ate and slept together every day.
He took a sip of the wine in his glass without even realizing it.
Chang Xixi smelled the pungent smell of the wine, "Husband, you are just getting well now, how can you drink alcohol?" She took the wine and asked the waiter to replace his wine with tea.
This small gesture stirred up ripples in Gu Rongyu's heart, which was a bit sweet. He placed his hand under the table and touched the jade pendant that Chang Xixi had left behind when they met on the first night.
"Seeing you two so affectionate, your brother and I feel relieved. We thought your relationship was just beginning and that young couples didn't know how to be considerate. It seems we were worrying too much. You're still young, so you can have a child first."
"Dad is not in a hurry."
Changsheng also felt that it was time for them to have a child.
Chang Xixi took this opportunity to tell the two of them everything she had just said to the village chief, and she didn't care that Gu Rongyu was there.
"Xixi, this matter was not handled by Dad before, and I have implicated you. If anything needs to be done, it will be your brother and I. Don't worry about it. Just do what you want to do with peace of mind. Everyone in the family supports you. No one at home can help you, you can only rely on yourself."
"Dad, it's okay. I can do it! After a while, when I have more money, I'll open a shop for you so you don't have to move goods. It's very tiring. You're still young and have plenty of strength now, but what will you do when you're old? This isn't a solution."
"good."
The eldest wife of the Chang family was bullied by the second wife because she was an honest and kind person. He could have learned a skill, but it was a pity that the old lady always wanted him to earn money to support the family.
All the money he earned when he was young was given to the old lady, and he didn't get a penny when he got married and divided the family property. Fortunately, he was in good health, so he could provide food for his family.
Chang Xixi knew all of this, so she wanted to cut off her ties with the second house.
That Li is not a good person!
This matter was left to the two of them.
Chang Xixi was bleeding heavily today. When her father and elder brother left, she still gave them some money and asked them not to work too hard.
The eldest brother didn't want it, but Chang Xixi just said that he would keep it for marrying a wife, and only then did the eldest brother accept it.
Chang Xixi could never repay the kindness of the Chang family's eldest wife. This family gave her all the touching feelings, warmth and heartfelt care that she had never felt in her previous life.
"It's obviously a good thing, why are you so unhappy?"
Gu Rongyu asked the kitchen servant to put chopsticks and bowls on the table and asked Chang Xixi to accompany him for dinner.
Chang Xixi was stunned. Her face did not show any emotion at all. How did Gu Rongyu notice it?
"It's just sad to think about how our family ended up like this."
Gu Rongyu was also stunned when he heard her words. Chang Xixi was actually thinking about such a thing? This was the case in ordinary people's homes, let alone the royal family, or even the wealthy families. Which one of them didn't fight over a little property and get hurt?
She actually has such awareness!
Where did you learn from?
"It's just an ordinary thing. If you have the chance to leave Panzhi City in the future, you will see more things like this. I wonder if you can still maintain the same attitude as now. I am looking forward to it. What will you do then?" Gu Rongyu smiled.
What is this implying?
Chang Xixi was shocked. She suddenly remembered that there was a purple mark on the village chief's neck, and the officials came too easily.
etc?
Is the Gu Rongyu in front of me really the child of the Gu family?
She also had doubts in her heart.
