Chapter 174 Hold on, hold on, women, why make things difficult for women?
As soon as he arrived at the training ground, he saw a group of people squatting in a horse stance.
He searched through the crowd...
No!
Fu Lin frowned slightly, while Tang Cheng, who was standing to the side, quickly stopped his practice and came over.
He wiped the sweat from his face and stopped more than two meters away from Fulin.
"This humble subject greets Your Excellency, the County Magistrate!" Tang Cheng said respectfully.
Fulin looked around but couldn't find his daughter. Oh, and Tang Dabao too. His expression darkened even more.
The advisor behind him was also taken aback. Didn't the people below just tell him that the young lady was practicing martial arts?
Why have they disappeared?
"Village Chief Tang, have you seen my daughter... I heard..." He smiled, but gritted his teeth as he said to Tang Cheng, "My daughter and your son were just playing together!"
Tang Cheng was puzzled, but being honest and simple, he still answered truthfully: "Yes, this humble man saw that Miss Fu was too tired, so I asked my son to take her to play with those children who were tied up!"
Fulin was taken aback; he had been so busy with those matters that he had forgotten about the children.
Hearing Tang Cheng's words, the frustration in his heart disappeared.
"Come on, you go and walk around this yard!" Fulin said, then walked straight ahead...
Tang Cheng had heard that the county magistrate and his yamen runners hadn't slept all night, and instead of resting, they were still busy...
Being an official is just too tiring...
Tang Cheng shook his head inwardly, but still quickly caught up with Fu Lin.
They walked ahead, and the villagers, having finished their practice, simply stopped and followed along.
Fu Lin ignored them and led the people from Tangjia Village to continue wandering around the courtyard, going in front, behind, left, and right, visiting almost every house...
However, nothing was found!
They walked back to the vicinity of the kitchen...
He could hear the children's and Qian's voices coming from inside, and he also heard his own daughter...
"All of you sit properly! If you don't sit properly, no one can eat!" Fu Manduo shouted.
The children immediately quieted down and sat obediently on the threshold, lined up in a row. A few who couldn't get onto the threshold sat on the ground next to it.
Su Yun and Sanpang helped maintain order!
Standing outside the kitchen was a small, frail figure—it was Lin Xi'er…
Lin Xier clenched her fists, secretly filled with resentment.
Just now, Qian Shi couldn't resist her daughter-in-law's persistent pleading and eventually turned the meat in the kitchen into steamed buns.
Just as the steamed buns were about to be taken out of the pot, Su Yun arrived with the children, Fu Manduo, and Tang Dabao.
No one provided them with food this morning, and the children are already very hungry.
Meanwhile, Xiao Su Bao was sitting obediently in Wang Xiuer's arms...
The main reason was that Qian wanted some peace and quiet, so she temporarily lent out Xiao Su Bao, and also because this daughter-in-law talked too much!
"Mother, what are you doing?"
"Mom, this dough rose so well!"
"Mom, are you chopping cabbage?"
"Mom, did you put salt in this?"
"mother……"
The Qian family...
My own daughter-in-law, she's pregnant, I can't hit her, I can't hit her...
Hold on, hold on, women, why make things difficult for women...
So she turned to look at Xiao Su Bao: "Su Bao, go and gag your second sister-in-law!"
Little Su Bao was startled, and then Qian Shi placed her in Wang Xiuer's arms.
The little dumpling's adorable appearance immediately made Wang Xiuer stop paying attention to Qian Shi.
"Come here, Su Bao, give Mommy... no, give your second sister-in-law a kiss... *smack*..." Wang Xiuer started showering her daughter with kisses...
After Qian quieted down, she made two steamers of buns.
Just as I sat down, Tang Dabao and Fu Manduo came over with a group of children...
The Qian family...
What could she possibly do?
"What's going on?" Fulin frowned and walked over in a few steps.
When Lin Xier saw Fu Lin, a glint of light flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly cried out and fell to the ground.
Fulin had his constables help her up.
"Xi'er greets Uncle Fu!" She obediently bowed to Fu Lin, but Fu Lin didn't look at her; his gaze was only on his daughter and Tang Dabao...
This kid is holding his daughter's hand again...
How infuriating! He can't even hold his daughter's little chubby hands, so why should he?
I'm so annoyed!
"Uncle Fu, Xi'er is so hungry... but... but because Xi'er accidentally upset Xiao Su Bao before, so... so..." Lin Xi'er started to sob.
Why is it that everyone else gets to eat steamed buns, but the Qian family treats her so badly?
"Xiao Su Bao and the others said they wouldn't give me the steamed buns they made, even if they were feeding them to the dogs. Uncle, but Xi'er is really hungry. Xi'er hasn't had a proper meal in so long..."
While applying eye drops to Fu Lin, Lin Xi'er spoke softly and weakly.
The people of Tangjia Village...
This girl seems strange, like she's sick!
Tang Cheng frowned slightly, his eyes filled with hostility as he looked at Lin Xi'er.
"Young lady, if I remember correctly... you were the one who deliberately kicked my sister-in-law in the stomach yesterday, weren't you?" Tang Cheng stepped forward, looking at Lin Xi'er with a cold voice.
Lin Xi'er's expression changed slightly, and she then noticed that Tang Cheng's face bore a striking resemblance to Tang Dabao's, with about five or six points of similarity.
Damn it...
What should she do?
"I...I didn't mean to, my shoes were wet and I slipped, Uncle Fu..." Lin Xi'er pursed her lips, her voice trembling, almost crying.
Tang Cheng looked at her with a hint of displeasure in his eyes. This little girl was too good at acting. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Fu Lin say, "Alright, I saw what you did before. Whether you did it on purpose or not, I know perfectly well!"
"Ah...I...I..." Lin Xi'er stammered, truly panicked this time.
He was scared and wanted to explain, but he didn't know how!
"But she wasn't hurt. My back still hurts from when Xiao Su Bao threw me, Uncle..." Lin Xi'er took a deep breath, bit her lip, and tears streamed down her face...
The people of Tangjia Village looked at her with the same eyes they would give a little fool.
Little Su Bao is strong enough to fight off an earth dragon!
I don't know what got into this girl, she actually tried to bully their village's precious little Su Bao.
"Little girl, you look so young, why are you so cunning? Su Bao is so small, how much strength could she possibly have!"
Da Ya's father immediately called out from the side.
The surrounding villagers, realizing what was happening, all spoke up for Xiao Su Bao. Several even said to Fu Lin, "Magistrate, don't be fooled by this little girl. Our village chief's Xiao Su Bao is very well-behaved; she wouldn't hit anyone for no reason..."
Fulin...
He didn't say anything!
Just then, Wang Xiuer suddenly screamed.
