Chapter 20 You should make a promise to yourself

"Mother, if we leave Lao Lin's house, life will only get better and better. Is it okay not to go back? I don't want to see you beaten and bullied by those brutes anymore. Lin Jiu raised his head, looked at Zhao's chin, and hugged Zhao tightly with both hands.

"There is no man, this family can't stand up, there are people bullying every day, how do you live...... "Zhao muttered, and finally stayed with Lin Jiu.

The next day, as soon as Lin Jiu woke up, he saw Chu Linghui holding an iron and waiting for her not far away.

Lin Jiu washed up a little, said a few words to the Zhao family, and followed Chu Linghui up the mountain to bury the body.

The eight corpses were dragged together by Lin Jiu, and Chu Linghui was injured in the arm, so he could only dig a pit.

"Rest for a while, lest the wound be opened again." Lin Jiu waved his hand, signaling him to get out of the way and dig the grave with an iron.

"Thank you." Chu Linghui didn't stop, holding the sword and digging on the other side, the efficiency was even slower.

"These six men in black are all buried in a pit. It's not a good person anyway. Bury your two guards separately and build a tombstone for them. Lin Jiu said as he digged.

"As you say." Chu Linghui nodded in reply, burying his head in hard work.

Lin Jiu looked at his side face, after some grooming, his appearance was no longer hidden, if it weren't for him clumsily digging in the soil, Lin Jiu really thought that he was a fairy who had fallen into the red dust by mistake.

"Why are you so good-looking?" Lin Jiu said with some envy.

Chu Linghui paused slightly, "From my parents." ”

"Can I ask you a few questions?" Lin Jiu suddenly had an idea, and he had a crazy idea in his mind.

"Just ask." Chu Linghui turned his head to look at Lin Jiu and stopped without a trace.

Lin Jiu leaned on the iron, held his chin and said, "Is your family rich?" ”

"Only 10,000 taels of silver." Chu Linghui said calmly.

Lin Jiu's eyes lit up, this is a rich man with a lot of money.

She hurriedly said, "What about your monthly income?" ”

"What is a monthly income?" Chu Linghui didn't understand, and speculated: "If it is a monthly salary, the imperial court will pay it according to the position, which is 270 stone rice, 50 taels of silver, 700 acres of arable land rent and tax, and 60 ...... miscellaneous labor every year. ”

"To put it simply, it's too complicated for me to understand." Lin Jiu shook his head in confusion.

"The annual salary is equivalent to one hundred and seventy taels." Chu Linghui put away the unfinished words, concise and clear.

Lin Jiu said: "It's okay, the income is worry-free." Do you still have parents at home? ”

"Both parents are deceased." Chu Linghui learned to reply succinctly.

Lin Jiu asked, "Are there any brothers and sisters?" ”

Chu Linghui replied: "None." ”

Lin Jiu asked again: "Do you have a wife, sons, and daughters?" ”

Chu Linghui replied again: "None." ”

Lin Jiu broke the casserole and asked, "Is there a wife who has not passed the door, the kind that has negotiated family affairs?" ”

"None." After answering, Chu Linghui finally became suspicious, and couldn't help but say, "What are you asking for?" ”

"Shall I marry you?" Lin Jiu asked with a smile.

Lin Jiu suddenly felt that his decision was really too witty, and the Zhao family said that no man could not set up a home, so find one. Isn't such a man who has money, power, and beauty, no father, no mother, and no family members the best candidate for a husband?

"Not good." Chu Linghui replied coldly.

"Boy, don't toast and don't eat and drink, I am your life-saving benefactor, and you should promise yourself. It's not good for you to say it again, believe it or not that I beat you into a pig's head? Lin Jiu rolled up his sleeves and approached Chu Lingxuan.
