Seeing that Nanzhi looked unwell, Lin Jiaxiang immediately stepped in front of her.
"Big sister, who is she? Do you need me to help you?"
Nanzhi shook her head.
I don't understand why Zhao Hui came here. Did Nankai and Shu Zhizhen go back and then send her here again?
However, since they found this place, there must be something going on.
Wu Nanshuang: "Master, should I send him away?"
Nan Zhi: "No need, let's go outside."
If Zhao Hui causes trouble, it can't happen in Lin Jiaxiang's new house. If she's out of her mind and breaks something, Lin Jiaxiang can't afford to pay for it.
Upon seeing the person emerge, Zhao Hui immediately stepped forward, but then lowered her head again as if remembering something.
Nanzhi walked up to her. "What are you doing here?"
His tone was cold and distant.
Zhao Hui looked up and realized that in less than a year, her sister-in-law seemed to have become a completely different person.
Unlike her previous thin and frail appearance, she has grown into a more and more beautiful woman.
The dark-skinned girl from before was gone, and now, standing next to her, Zhao Hui even felt a sense of oppression.
"Sister-in-law, oh no, I mean me."
Zhao Hui remembered that Nan Zhi was no longer a member of the Nan family, so how could she dare to claim the identity of her sister-in-law?
"Zhizhi, I... I want to apologize to you. I was wrong before."
Thinking back on what she had done in the past, Zhao Hui wanted to slap herself a few times.
Now that we've offended someone so badly, I don't know if we can make amends.
Zhao Hui looked up at Nan Zhi.
Nan Zhi never expected that Zhao Hui would contact her to apologize.
However, the original owner has already left, and they can never repay the suffering she endured.
Can an apology alone resolve the issue?
The old folks used to say, "Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future."
Nanzhi did not believe it.
She has no right to make decisions for the original owner of this body, given how badly the other party has treated her.
Moreover, she prefers to seek revenge whenever she has a grudge.
Grandeur and gentleness are completely absent in her.
Only you know the suffering you've endured. Why should someone else's apology be enough to excuse you?
"Is there anything else? If not, move aside, we're leaving," Nan Zhi said coldly.
Seeing her master so indifferent for the first time, Wu Nanshuang couldn't help but look at Zhao Hui.
What did she do to displease her master?
Her master was unhappy, and so was she.
"Are you going to talk or not? If you're not going to talk, then get out of the way!"
"Tell me, tell me, I'll tell you."
Zhao Hui knew that Nan Zhi was unwilling to forgive her, but for the sake of their two children, she stopped Nan Zhi.
"Zhizhi, it's me." She was too embarrassed to speak.
"Does your cured meat factory need more workers?"
The family in Nankai had no harvest this year, but the money she had given them before had accumulated to about twenty taels, enough for the family to get through the winter.
The fact that Zhao Hui is now begging her shows that Shu Zhizhen doesn't have much money.
No wonder the two of them came to cause trouble today.
Seeing that Nanzhi remained silent, Zhao Hui grew anxious.
If they don't win today, their whole family will starve to death this year.
“Zhizhi, it was my fault before, sister-in-law. No, I have realized that I was wrong. I shouldn’t have made things difficult for you at the Nan family’s house. I shouldn’t have made you wash clothes in the cold weather. I shouldn’t have let you have no clothes to wear and no good blankets to cover yourself with. I shouldn’t have poured water on your blankets. I shouldn’t have not given you food. I was really wrong. You can hit me or punish me. I’ll do whatever you want.”
Wu Nanshuang became increasingly alarmed as she listened. In the dead of winter, they didn't even have warm clothes, and they were still watering the plants!
Lin Jiaxiang was furious; this old woman was actually refusing to feed his older sister.
"You old woman."
Nan Zhi reached out to stop Lin Jiaxiang.
"Big sister," Lin Jiaxiang said, puzzled.
Nanzhi gestured for him to calm down.
"Zhao Hui, I can't forgive you for what happened before. But you can give me one reason that would allow me to keep you here."
Zhao Hui felt hopeful and said helplessly, "I, I'll do anything. I can cook, pickle vegetables, start a fire and gather firewood, I can do it all."
With such limited skills, you think you can get help from your master? No way.
Why should our master help you?
"Me." Zhao Hui couldn't speak.
After a long pause, she said, "This year's harvest was a failure, and all the money in the house has been lent out by my mother. I really have no other choice. I have two sons, and I can't watch them go hungry."
"Isn't there still our eldest brother?"
Zhao Hui wiped away her tears, "Your older brother is an honest man. He gives all his earnings to Mother. Winter is coming soon, and I really can't think of a good solution."
Nan Zhi kept her eyes fixed on Zhao Hui, not missing a single expression on her face.
She has changed a lot; she is no longer as shrewish and unreasonable as before.
Nanzhi said, "I can help you, but you have to promise that you have no connection with anyone else."
Zhao Hui wasn't stupid; of course she knew who she was talking about.
"Don't worry, as long as I can earn money, I will never let my mother look for you again."
Nanzhi nodded.
She gave the other party a chance, and as for Zhao Hui's promise, she didn't believe Zhao Hui had no way to fulfill it.
However, we can't let her get it so quickly.
"Go back and wait. I'll think about it some more. After all, it's my money."
"Okay, okay." Zhao Hui immediately stood up, not even bothering to brush the dirt off her knees.
"I'll come back tomorrow. Whether it works out or not, thank you."
Wu Nanshuang: "Master, are you really going to help her?"
If this precedent is set, then when the master's mother comes knocking again, we naturally cannot refuse.
Lin Jiaxiang: "Big sister, to deal with this kind of person, just find someone to teach them a lesson, and they'll definitely behave."
Nanzhi also wanted to.
However, the one causing trouble was the original owner's mother, the biological mother of this body.
Even if a fight is to be fought, it's not her place to do it.
The next day, after everyone had breakfast.
