"Old Cao, what's the matter? Why did you call me here in such a hurry? What happened?" A moment later, a middle-aged woman's voice came from the doorway, and it wasn't quiet. At the same time, the county magistrate's wife, Du Ling, also walked in from outside.
As soon as she entered, Du Ling saw Yun Dazheng and Yun Duo, and immediately smiled and said, "Oh, you have guests here? Did I disturb you?"
As soon as Cao Limin saw Du Ling, he waved to her and said, "Du Ling, come here, let me introduce you. This is the girl surnamed Yun from Lujia Village that I told you about. The old man next to her is her grandfather."
Yun Dazheng quickly shook his head and stood up awkwardly to greet her, "Hello, Madam County Magistrate."
Yun Duo blinked and said obediently, "Hello, pretty auntie."
Du Ling chuckled and looked at Cao Limin, saying, "This young lady has quite the sweet tongue."
"Yes," Cao Limin nodded and said, "She's a nice young lady. This time, she and her grandfather got into a little trouble in the county town, so I specially asked Secretary Yang to invite you over, hoping to ask for your help."
Unable to contain her curiosity, Du Ling asked, "What trouble is it? Why can't you, the county magistrate, help them, and instead need me to help them?"
Cao Limin briefly explained the situation to Du Ling, then said, "If I were to go to Black Panther, it would be possible, but it would be much less efficient and there's no guarantee of a good outcome. However, if you take Xiao Yunduo directly to see Old Madam Hei, it would be much simpler." At this point, Cao Limin deliberately bowed to Du Ling, smiling broadly, and said, "So, please, Madam, help me out, okay?"
Du Ling nodded and said, "Alright, what can I do? This young lady has such a sweet tongue. But I heard that the old lady in the Hei family has been ill. I can't go to visit her empty-handed, can I? Why don't you have Secretary Yang make another trip to buy a gift box?"
"No need, no need." Cao Limin waved his hand and said, "Which old lady in the Hei family doesn't like people giving her gifts, especially expensive ones? Xiaoyunduo and the others brought their own honey with them when they came to the county town. You can take the honey with you and give it to them as a gift. That would be perfect."
At this point, Cao Limin looked at Yun Dazheng and asked, "Uncle Yun, is this alright?"
"Yes, yes," Yun Dazheng nodded quickly, then added, "We brought this honey ourselves, hoping you, County Magistrate, could try some..."
Cao Limin waved his hand and said, "It's alright, I appreciate your good intentions. Now, let's deal with the current troubles first."
Yun Dazheng nodded naturally and said with gratitude, "Yes, I will follow the county magistrate's arrangements."
Du Ling nodded and said, "Okay, then have Xiao Wang drive me and Xiao Yunduo there."
"Of course." That was exactly what Cao Limin had planned, so as soon as Du Ling mentioned it, he immediately asked Secretary Yang to notify his driver, Xiao Wang, to drive his car to the county gate.
Yun Dazheng carefully carried the jars of honey out of his basket and cautiously asked Cao Limin, "County Magistrate, how about I help Duo'er to the car?" The honey itself weighed more than ten jin, and with the jars, it would weigh even more than ten jin. It was quite a distance, and Yun Dazheng was worried that Yun Duo wouldn't be able to hold on to it properly.
Cao Limin nodded and said, "That's fine, but you can just see them to the car. You don't need to come along. Too many people going would be counterproductive."
