Chapter 60: Let's Discuss It First
Zheng Jiadong regarded Chu Linghui as his master and opened the door without hesitation.
As soon as the door opened, Yu's face showed a smug look.
Dare to keep her out. She dared to shout all over the town about Lin Jiu and her son. It's okay if you don't help, just marry into the He family. As long as there is Lin Jiu, the daughter-in-law, I am afraid that the silver will not roll in.
"This aunt, Miss Lin is Chu's life-saving benefactor, and she is also my Chu's sister-in-law. You will pay a price for slandering her reputation so casually. Chu Linghui looked coldly at the Yu clan opposite.
Sister-in-law? Yu was stunned. The young man in front of him was full of nobility, and his eyes glared at her like ice. For some reason, Yu Shi was a little weak-hearted. Of course she knew that she was talking nonsense, but why did this person stand up for Lin Jiu. Yu didn't hear his son say that what kind of righteous sister the Lin family girl is.
"Cut. What a righteous sister, when everyone is blind and stupid, it can't be. Who knows what your relationship is with that girl, maybe, you are her concubine. It was because of you that that girl hated the poor and loved the rich, and kicked our family's two cows. ”
The more Yu Shi talked, the more enjoyable she became, as if even she believed these nonsense.
"Jiayi, take this woman to the county office." Chu Linghui's face sank.
Feel free to slander the reputation of others, if you don't teach her a lesson. She didn't know what she could say and what she couldn't say.
A said yes. An arrow stepped to Yu's side, and before she could react, he twisted her arms behind her. Yu Shi let out a pig-killing scream, and as soon as A stretched out his hand on her body, Yu Shi could no longer make any sound, and could only stare at the man in horror.
Is this person a demon, why can't she make a sound when she stabs herself? When did the girl have such a person around her? Yu felt a little remorseful in his heart. Perhaps, she shouldn't have ruined Lin Jiu's reputation so unscrupulously today.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Lin has a noble character, she is not only my savior, but also my sister-in-law. If she can't correct her name, Chu will be an official of the court in vain. Chu Linghui said righteously to the people around him who were watching the excitement.
People can't help but feel a chord in their hearts. This person looked extravagant, but he didn't expect it to be really an official. This woman is afraid that her brain is broken, and she dares to frame the court official, saying that he has an affair with Miss Lin, and she really doesn't know whether she is alive or dead.
"Jiayi, you told the county magistrate that this woman is full of nonsense, which not only tarnishes Miss Lin's reputation, but also disrespects her own officials, and must be severely punished. Jia Yi agreed, and disappeared in front of everyone with Yu's in his hand.
At this time, the grandmother of the Zheng family also walked out of the door and said aloud to the people around her: "Neighbors, my old lady has lived in this town all her life, and her conduct is well-known. Today, my old lady is going to say a fair word for Miss Lin. ”
"That He Erniu was originally our family's helper, but for the sake of silver, he sold the secret recipe of our family's life to the opponent. Somehow, they had a dog-eat-dog falling out, and the woman came back and wanted us to help them again. ”
"It's okay to be bitten by a dog once, and if we let them bite again, we're stupid. As for Miss Lin, she has never had an affair with a foreign man, she is a good girl who is innocent, everyone must not listen to that woman's nonsense and harm such a good girl. ”
The crowd nodded their heads frequently. Not to mention anything else, Mrs. Zheng's conduct is recognized by everyone. Since even the old lady came out to speak for Lin Jiu, it must have been the woman who held a grudge and talked nonsense just now.
With the assurance of Chu Linghui and the old lady of the Zheng family, a turmoil finally disappeared into invisibility.
After Yu was sent to the county office, as soon as the county magistrate heard that she dared to slander Lord Chu, he immediately said that he would be severely punished. Not only was he beaten twenty boards in public, but he also made the He family spend another five taels of silver to redeem the person.
I really lost my fortune and was beaten, and I suffered it myself, and I was very happy.
Lin Jiu hesitated again and again and came to the west wing.
"Lord Chu, can I say a few words to you?" She shouted as she stood outside.
Chu Linghui knew that this girl would definitely come over and ask for an understanding.
"Come in."
After entering the house, Lin Jiu first thanked Chu Linghui for his help today. After a few polite sentences, I got to the point.
"Lord Chu, haven't you always claimed that I am your maid to the outside world? also signed a deed of sale with the Lin family. Why do you say that I am your sister-in-law today? ”
Chu Linglong sighed, with a look of guilt on her face.
"Miss Lin, I didn't think it through at the beginning. Saying that you are my maid, even if you are not enslaved, but let people know it, it is not good for your reputation. ”
Today, the Zhao family and Mrs. Zheng are desperate to maintain Lin Jiu's reputation. This made Chu Linghui very touched.
He was originally kind-hearted, and pretended to buy the Zhao family's mother and daughter, so that they could get out of the Lin family's wolf cave. However, he overlooked one point. As long as Lin Jiu used to be his maid, even if it was fake, it was enough to affect her life.
In the future, no matter where she goes, this identity will always follow her. If she marries someone in the future, what should her husband's family do if she looks down on her for this. It's hard to explain to everyone that the identity of this slave is fake.
Based on such considerations, as soon as Chu Linghui was excited, he changed Lin Jiu's identity from a maid to a righteous sister. can be his sister-in-law Chu Linghui, wherever she goes, people have to give some face.
Knowing Chu Linghui's thoughts, Lin Jiu couldn't cry or laugh. I didn't consult her when I used to make her a maid, but now that she has become a righteous sister, she still didn't know it beforehand.
"Lord Chu, I know you are kind. However, if you want to do something like this in the future, can you discuss it with me in advance? After all, I'm that party. ”
The next morning, Lin Jiu, who was basking in the sun in the yard in a daze, suddenly welcomed a visitor. The shopkeeper of Xian House has come to the door again.
"Lin girl, it's been okay lately." The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile.
"Thanks to you, it's fine." Lin Jiu narrowed his eyes. This fat shopkeeper has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, don't look at the smile on his face, he may not have any ideas in his heart.
"Uncle Wang, if there's anything you want, tell me directly." Lin Jiu doesn't like to be false and wronged with others, she is still used to going straight.
"Okay, Lin Yatou is really a happy person." The shopkeeper laughed so much that he couldn't even see his eyes.
"Ahem, that's right." The shopkeeper coughed lightly twice and explained his intention.
It turned out that a series of recent events successfully aroused the interest of the owner behind the shopkeeper Wang in Lin Jiu. Now, the owner has come forward and wants to meet her.
"See me?" Lin Jiu blinked, and almost without hesitation, he refused: "No." ”
"What? Missing! ”
Shopkeeper Wang couldn't help but reach out and pluck his ears, thinking that he had heard it wrong. The owner behind him is not something that everyone wants to see, and now he is interested in this little village girl, but he is still rejected.
Maybe it's because this girl doesn't know how powerful the owner is. The shopkeeper thought to himself. can only be explained in this way, otherwise, how could she treat the opportunity that others can't ask for as if it were a piece of paper.
"Ahem, Miss Lin, do you know who our owner is?"
Lin Jiu shook his head and replied simply, "I don't know." ”
Does it matter who the owner is? Anyway, she cooperated with Xian Weiju and Buzhuang, no matter who the owner was, she still didn't sell the same goods. The surname of the owner behind Xian Weiju and Buzhuang is Zeng, and the current principal is the young master of the Zeng family, Zeng Yixian.
Tsang Yat-sen has only officially taken over the family business in recent years. Before that, it was his father, Zeng Baoshan, who managed the business.
Master Zeng is a business wizard, and in the decades he has managed the family business, he has developed the original landlord in a small county town into a business giant in the entire state capital.
The tiger father has no dogs, Master Zeng is capable, and Young Master Zeng is not bad.
This new young owner, Zeng Yat-sen, showed a good talent for business at a young age. It is said that he was able to read accounts at the age of five, and at the age of seven he was able to deal with the treasurers and stewards skillfully.
After taking over the family business, he led the Zeng family to further their career in just a few years, making a name for themselves in the capital and becoming a business upstart there. The ability is good, so that everyone is impressed.
However, Young Master Zeng, who is good everywhere, also has a headache for the elders and his family. That is, although he is twenty years old, he still has no family.
Master Zeng broke his heart, wore out his mouth, and failed to persuade his son to marry a wife and have children. Even if he talked about inheritance, he couldn't make his son give in.
