After hearing her question, County Magistrate Tian paused and said, "I'm not sure what the specifics of this matter are, but you guessed right, the two families reconciled yesterday."
Xia Jin smiled and said, "It must be difficult to get my stepfather's family to reconcile. I don't know what conditions the Luo family has to offer for them to agree."
"So I'm even more curious about what kind of thing could make the Luo family willing to pay a huge amount of money to reconcile with the Wang family."
County Magistrate Tian smiled and said, "Miss Xia, it's not easy to find out. Wait for me to call the Wang family and ask them to come over and tell you in person."
Xia Jin said embarrassedly: "Will it be a bit troublesome? Or let's just forget it. If we don't know, then we don't know."
County Magistrate Tian said nonchalantly, "It's no trouble at all, just wait and see."
So County Chief Tian called the Wang family without hesitation. He spoke on the phone. No one knew what was said on the other end, but County Chief Tian nodded with a smile on his face.
After hanging up the phone, County Chief Tian said, "Please wait a moment. He will be here soon. Miss Xia can ask him if you have any questions."
Xia Jin nodded and said with a smile: "It's troublesome. I don't know why I always feel that this matter may have something to do with me."
"Also, I don't get along with my stepfather's family, so I want to get to know their in-laws better and learn more about them so that I can be prepared when we meet in the future."
"It's not a big deal, it's just something that happens easily. Also, I'm a little curious about what could have made the Luo family give up."
"You know, if Director Wang goes in, the Luo family will have the qualifications to compete for the position of director. Besides, with both families in this state, there should be no relationship between them."
"So I was curious about their family's actions, but I was too embarrassed to ask. Now that you ask me today, I have an excuse, hahahaha."
Xia Jin smiled and said, "It seems I came to the right place today. But how are those people who went to the hospital? They should only have minor injuries."
County Magistrate Tian smiled and said, "That's what the people below said, but I heard that their new fiancée was scolded terribly by the Luo family in the hospital."
Xia Jin said angrily: "They deserve it. This is their family's retribution."
After saying this, Xia Jin thought silently in his heart, it seems that Xia Qingqing is still quite capable. I don’t know how she hasn’t been divorced even after all this.
I don’t know if I will be punished when I get home. After all, Xia Jianguo was beaten like that because of her, and so were Xia Cheng and Xia Cai.
These are all the old woman's sweethearts. This man is not a good person. Her grandson and son were beaten because of a bitch. She doesn't know how he will deal with her when he gets home.
When they returned home that night, Old Lady Xia did give her a good scolding. If she hadn't thought about the money she could get from the Luo family that day, it would not have been as simple as just pinching her a few times and not letting her eat.
Because of her, her son and grandson were beaten. Old Lady Xia hated her so much that she kept scolding her, asking her to wash dishes, cook and do clothes. When she was in a bad mood, she would take out her anger on her.
Xia Jianguo also looked at her with hatred. If he had not been beaten to the point where he could not get up, Xia Qingqing would have been severely beaten. Xia Jianguo was not a reasonable man and was selfish.
Fortunately, this allowed her to escape. She also knew very well that if her father got better, she would definitely be beaten by him, so she avoided him from then on.
Xia Qingqing thought that she could take care of Luo Zisen so that she wouldn't be bullied in this family. However, the Luo family didn't let them meet at all. As long as they saw Xia Qingqing standing at the door, they wouldn't open the door.
Since they all lived together, the farce at the Luo family's engagement ceremony had already spread among these neighbors, so every time they saw Xia Qingqing coming, they would quietly watch in the dark.
Just like this, one of them came every day pretending to be someone else, while a group of people secretly talked about what was happening in their family. The Luo family did not let the two of them meet until Luo Zisen recovered.
The two of them met after school. By then, a week had passed and the scar on Luo Zisen's face had almost healed. It was hard to tell unless you looked closely. Even in this state, Luo Zisen still liked Xia Qingqing as much as before. Seeing that Luo Zisen's attitude towards her was still the same as before, Xia Qingqing also calmed down.
As long as he still likes me, as long as he likes me, I can marry him safely. This is my only chance, and I must grab it firmly.
While Xia Jin was thinking about something, Gu Jingmo and County Mayor Tian were chatting about some government matters. Xia Jin did not interrupt, but just listened quietly.
They chatted for a while longer, then heard a knock on the door. County Magistrate Tian stopped talking and called out, "Come in."
Xia Jin silently calculated the time and thought that this should be Wang's father. If he was coming from the furniture factory, he should have arrived by about this time.
The three of them looked towards the door together. When the door was opened, Xia Jin's guess was confirmed. At the door was County Magistrate Tian's secretary leading Wang's father.
After opening the door, County Magistrate Tian's secretary nodded to County Magistrate Tian inside and left. Father Wang walked in and looked at Xia Jin and the others, not knowing how to greet them.
I could only greet people I knew first, so I smiled and extended my hand to County Magistrate Tian and said, "Hello, County Magistrate Tian."
County Magistrate Tian shook the hand she extended and after greeting him, he introduced Xia Jin and the other two to Wang's father. Of course, he did not give a detailed introduction to Gu Jingmo's identity, only saying that he was from the capital.
However, those who can get to this position are all smart people. Wang's father could tell from the tone and actions of County Magistrate Tian that Gu Jingmo was not an ordinary person, and he thought silently in his heart.
Gu, surnamed Gu, from Beijing, couldn’t be the Gu family mentioned above, this old Tian, such a big figure, spoke to me in an ambiguous way.
I have to leave a good impression on them. Even if this person is not a direct descendant of the Gu family, he is not someone I can afford to offend. It is better to be careful.
He was thinking rapidly in his mind, but he remained calm on the surface. He greeted Gu Jingmo and the others very enthusiastically, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
