Chapter 233: Hugging the Godmother's Thighs
After dealing with Manager Liu and others, Jiang Yuzhu opened the package to check the spoils.
A thick cloth bag covered with patches turned out to be filled with gold and silver jewelry, mostly gold.
"No wonder Manager Liu took such a risk. One robbery is enough to feed and support himself for the rest of his life."
Having seen a lot of things, Jiang Yuzhu flipped through the items casually and stuffed them back into the bag.
Qi Lin's eyelids twitched, and he thought: My godmother doesn't show any sign of fear in front of the gold, she is really a big shot!
“Most people who walk through the underground tunnels carry gold and silver.”
The poor family is rich on the road, and Qi Lin also has money on him.
Although silver notes are light, they are difficult to exchange in Sishui City and can easily cause trouble.
"The barbarians are bullying the people of Daqi and deducting money from the exchange. If you argue, you will probably get beaten."
After all, we are on the opponent's territory, so we have to be more restrained.
Qi Lin said as he took out a purse, hesitated for a moment and then decisively handed it to Xie Zhao, saying, "Godfather, this is a gift from your son, please keep it."
Qi Lin went to Sishui City more than once and had the currency commonly used by the barbarians.
In addition to small change, there was also a bag of copper coins, which was convenient for buying food and daily necessities at the market.
Xie Zhao stared at the money bag in his hand, his eyes flashing with thought: "Qi Lin, it is said that men are responsible for external affairs and women are responsible for internal affairs. If you hand the money to me, does it mean that you agree to..."
What Xie Zhao meant was that Qi Lin saw that he was the one in charge.
The cheap godson who came to my doorstep has some sense.
Xie Zhao had no objection to the title, he just regarded it as a way of adapting to being a father in advance.
Before Xie Zhao could express himself clearly, Qi Lin, who had noticed it, interrupted him and raised his voice: "No!"
Qi Lin froze for a moment, afraid of being misunderstood, so he turned to Jiang Yuzhu and said with a flattering smile: "Godmother, your son didn't mean what your godfather said."
"What does that mean?"
After walking for a few hours, Jiang Yuzhu's calves were swollen. Just as she was about to rub her legs, Xie Zhao hurried forward.
The force was applied just right, and Jiang Yuzhu's swollen and painful calves were relieved, causing her to sigh with satisfaction.
This scene further strengthened Qi Lin's position.
It doesn’t matter if you offend your godfather, you must hold on to your godmother!
"Godmother, when the mistress of a wealthy family goes out, no one carries money with them. They all give it to the maids and servants who serve them. At worst, there are coachmen."
Qi Lin implied that Xie Zhao's status was equivalent to that of a servant.
“The look in your eyes…”
Jiang Yuzhu pursed her lips and smiled, swallowing the second half of the sentence.
She and Xie Zhao's original intention was to hide their identities, so it didn't seem so important who was on top and who was on the bottom between the couple.
The three of them had a full meal.
When Manager Liu led his men to rob, Qi Lin was frightened and had no desire to sleep. He took the initiative to say, "Godfather, godmother, I'll take over tonight."
Hearing this, Xie Zhao entered the sleeping bag prepared by Jiang Yuzhu. After a while, he said calmly, "Okay."
The tunnel was pitch black, with no sunlight visible.
Jiang Yuzhu leaned in Xie Zhao's arms and soon fell into a deep sleep.
When we woke up, Qi Lin had already brought us hot water. After a quick wash and some wontons, we continued on our journey.
The packages robbed by Shopkeeper Liu were piled on the cart, increasing its weight by at least half.
Even though the ground was uneven, Xie Zhao pushed it and there seemed to be no resistance.
After walking a distance, Qi Lin approached and said flatteringly: "Godfather, you take a rest for a while, let me push the cart."
Xie Zhao raised his eyebrows and did not answer, but handed the handle to Qi Lin.
There happened to be a slightly uneven slope in front of them. Qi Lin gritted his teeth and pushed with all his might, but the cart did not move at all.
After a failed attempt, Qi Lin blushed and shamelessly asked Jiang Yuzhu for help: "Godmother, this..."
"Let your godfather come instead. He's very strong."
Jiang Yuzhu tried to hold back her laughter, she thought Qi Lin was just casually saying that he would adopt her and Xie Zhao as his godparents, but Qi Lin really treated her and Xie Zhao as his parents.
This feeling is a little bit strange.
It was boring in the tunnel and there was nothing to do except hurry on.
Xie Zhao was quiet, so Jiang Yuzhu turned to talk to Qi Lin: "You haven't married yet?"
Judging from Qi Lin’s age, he is already over 20 years old.
When it comes to marriage, Qi Lin starts to get shy, pinching his sleeves and saying uncomfortably, "Godmother, my son is twenty-five this year. He was engaged a few years ago, but because of the unexpected death of my father, I was in mourning, so it was delayed for three years."
The girl who was engaged was about the same age as Qi Lin, and it would be inconvenient to wait until she was in her twenties. Finally, the two families discussed it and the girl's family took the initiative to cancel the engagement.
"It's already the end of the mourning period, why haven't you found a wife yet?"
Jiang Yuzhu's topics were nothing more than family matters, and in just a few words she found out everything about Qi Lin's family situation.
Qi Lin lowered his head and gave a bitter smile.
After a long pause, he said quietly, "Godmother, you are not an outsider, and I will not hide it from you. It's because of my sister."
"How can any of us, the people of the border town, not hate the barbarians?"
Qi Lin also hated it, especially since his family was the victim.
"After my sister married the barbarian, the neighbors stopped associating with the Qi family."
A woman with a bad reputation cannot get married, and a man cannot get married either.
In the early years, when the two countries had not yet gone to war, the Qi family and their neighbors were relatively harmonious, and they would at least say hello when they met on weekdays.
As for now...
"A few days ago, the front door of our house was removed at night."
The people in the border town hated the barbarians and treated the Qi family the same.
Whenever someone got angry after a quarrel, they would stand in the yard and curse the Qi family, asking them to get out of the border town.
Jiang Yuzhu asked Qi Lin with sympathy: "Aren't you aggrieved?"
"What's the use of complaining? They are telling the truth."
At first Qi Lin felt very uncomfortable, after all, the barbarian had killed his father, but after being scolded for a long time, it didn't hurt anymore.
But sometimes when I’m looked down upon, I still feel a dull pain in my heart.
All the barbarians are soldiers and they hate the people of Da Qi as well, but we cannot kill them all at once, as there are always a few good people among them.
"My sister had a hard time making a decision back then, and I was the one who persuaded her."
Qi Lin fell into memories. Although he was sad because he was not understood, he did not regret it.
Qi Ju is living a good life in her husband's family now, and this is what makes Qi Lin most pleased.
Fortunately, Qi Ju didn’t know all this, otherwise she would be sad too and feel guilty.
"As for getting married and having children, it still depends on fate."
Qi Lin rubbed his face. Since he was short, it was difficult for him to talk about a wife.
After chatting more, Jiang Yuzhu discovered the shining points of Qi Lin: he is thick-skinned, big-hearted and open-minded.
After walking for a few more hours, we almost reached the middle area.
There were several bloodstains along the way, but no passers-by were seen.
While taking a break, Qi Lin looked at the closed wooden doors on both sides with a wary look on his face.
"Godfather, godmother, I have a bad feeling."
In the past, when I walked to the middle, I could at least see a few living people breathing.
The three of them walked for a long time, and only the bloodstains on the ground reminded them that someone had passed by.
There is most likely a corpse inside the wooden door.
Xie Zhao had already anticipated this kind of situation and made preparations in advance.
After resting, we set off and saw a man lying in the middle of the tunnel.
The man was in a kneeling position, surrounded by blood. He seemed unwilling to give up and crawled forward with difficulty.
It was a pity that he was seriously injured and struggling for a while was in vain.
"Brother, do you need help?"
Qi Lin couldn't bear to see this, and thinking that he had more people on his side and a godfather and godmother to protect him, he came forward and asked.
