After lunch, Butcher Li refused to mention leaving, which made Zhao Yongqiang and his wife even more confused.
"I plan to stay for two days. It's rare that I have time." Butcher Li said, "Before you didn't have a home, and it was not convenient for me to come. Now you don't have to worry about it anymore."
Li Cuihong felt torn, but since the man was her own father, she couldn't ask him to leave, so she had to bite the bullet and arrange for Butcher Li to stay.
There were only three beds in the house, one for Li Cuihong and her husband, one for Zhao Qingsong and Zhao Qingshui, and one for Zhao Xiaojuan.
Now that Butcher Li and Li Dazhu and Li Erzhu had arrived, Li Cuihong had no choice but to take Zhao Xiaojuan to stay next door, leaving her bed for Butcher Li and Zhao Yongqiang.
Zhao Dazhu and Zhao Erzhu shared their bed, while Zhao Yongqiang slept on Zhao Xiaojuan's bed. Although the bed was small, they would only live there for a day or two, so it was fine.
Immediately, Butcher Li and his companions stayed at Li Cuihong's home, which made it convenient for the three of them, father and son, to look around and find out the situation in advance.
After a whole day of traveling, the carriage that Qian Chunhua and his companions were riding in finally stopped in the evening.
Except for Qian Chunhua and Dong Cong, everyone in the group was starving.
Qian Chunhua took advantage of the baggage to take out various snacks from the space to fill his stomach, including beef jerky, biscuits, boiled eggs, etc.
Qian Chunhua not only ate herself, but also gave Dong Cong a lot of food, so the two were not hungry, but their buttocks hurt. After sitting in the carriage for a whole day, their buttocks must be sore.
The seat cushions of the horse-drawn carriages of this era were not as good as the modern spring shock absorption effects. After a day's ride, your butt would be almost tossed around.
"Let's just have a bowl of noodles, change horses, and continue walking." Seeing Qian Chunhua coming down, County Magistrate Zhou spoke.
Qian Chunhua nodded. County Magistrate Zhou had already told her all this before they set out, so she was mentally prepared.
It was more difficult for the people driving the carriage outside because they were carrying their children in the carriage.
In order to avoid suspicion, County Magistrate Zhou sat at one table with his guards, while Qian Chunhua sat at another table with Dong Cong.
Each person had a bowl of noodles with a fried egg on top.
In order not to waste food, Qian Chunhua insisted on finishing the bowl of noodles even though she was full to death.
It was just that throughout the whole process of eating noodles, County Magistrate Zhou had a gloomy face.
When leaving, Qian Chunhua asked curiously, "Master Zhou, is there anything difficult?"
County Magistrate Zhou looked around before speaking, "We can enter the city tomorrow morning. I have prepared the pass, but..."
"Just what?" Qian Chunhua was too curious. Zhou Xianyu, a grown man, was so hesitant in speaking. He should be not as straightforward as Zhou You.
"It's just that how can we get the door of Dong's house opened tomorrow while avoiding the kidnappers and their gang?" County Magistrate Zhou finished speaking, and then added, "It's not convenient for me to show up, for fear that someone might know me."
It turned out that County Magistrate Zhou was worried about this matter. It was not convenient for him to show up, and if his guards showed up, the Dong family might not give him face.
They couldn't publicly claim that they had found the child, so this was a difficult matter.
It was difficult for them, but Qian Chunhua was easy to deal with. She had met Old Madam Dong once before, and as long as they could let her meet the Dong family, they could get in.
"Let me try." Qian Chunhua said.
County Magistrate Zhou was overjoyed. This was what he meant, but he was just too embarrassed to ask. It would have been fine to trouble Qian Chunhua to take the child there, but he felt it was unacceptable to trouble her with other things.
After the deal was made, the horses were changed and the vehicle continued to move forward, at a much faster speed than in the afternoon.
Qian Chunhua hugged Dong Cong, leaned against the car wall, and gently patted Dong Cong's back, "Go to sleep, you can see mother tomorrow if you fall asleep."
After Dong Cong and Qian Chunhua had been together for a day, he no longer felt as nervous as he had yesterday.
"Auntie Hua, can you tell me a story about the wonderful Monkey King last night?" The little brat dared to make a request.
