Help!Master Chief Assistant's Jiaojiao is a black widow

Chapter 45 Compensation
three days later

The sky is clear and sunny, but a little hot.

Cai Baiwei built a small pergola next to the stone well on the left side of the courtyard, and moved a small table in the house to the pergola, so that it would be much more refreshing for the family to eat and sit here in summer.

Hua Rujin was sitting in the pergola, looking at Cai Baiwei's rearrangement, recalling what she had experienced in these days, she was in a trance with lingering fear.

Hua Youen and Hua Muyang squatted beside Hua Rujin and watched Cai Baiwei, who was busy not far away, also lost in thought.

"Rujin, you said that the weeds in the small open space in the corner of the guest room were hoeed to grow some vegetables for your mother, the owner of the house wouldn't blame him, would he?"

Cai Baiwei suddenly turned around and asked.

"No, it's fine for Auntie to plant whatever she likes."

Hua Rujin raised her eyes and looked over there, thinking that she was originally growing melons, fruits and vegetables, but weeds grew due to no one taking care of them right now.

"Then listen to you."

Cai Baiwei put down her hoe and walked over slowly, her bright eyes suddenly filled with sorrow: "Today is your grandmother's [-]th birthday, your father told me to buy more gifts for us this morning before going out." All go there."

"Aniang, take Mu Yang and You En, I will stay in the house and watch the gate."

Hua Rujin replied with a smile.

Although Hua Youen mentioned that Dow came to the house that day to accuse Sang and scolded Huai and said some nasty things, but it always broke the bones and connected the tendons, and she was right to worry about her grandson.

You can't break up your family and betray your relatives everywhere.

As long as they don't go to Shu's house and take due courtesy into account, they can't find any fault.

Cai Baiwei thought for a while, she understood what her daughter meant, and nodded heavily: "It's fine, we'll come back earlier."

"I want to stay at home with sister."

Hua Youen pouted quickly.

Hua Muyang also nodded anxiously.

"How can I let my mother go alone?"

Hua Rujin patted the docile and well-behaved little Muyang: "You follow Aunt."

Hua Muyang looked unhappy, but thinking that the second aunt's family might also go to Shu's house, he nodded obediently.

"If you meet the second aunt's family, Auntie doesn't have to be patient. Our family doesn't owe them anything."

Hua Rujin looked at the gentle and dignified Cai Baiwei, and said in a deep voice.

"I know, with your uncle, aunt and uncle here, they dare not make things difficult."

Cai Baiwei smiled naively.

"That's true."

Hua Rujin also showed the same smile.

The original owner's uncle, Shu Jiayan, originally favored the sixth room. Uncle Hua Junyao hated Hu Nanxi for marrying him cruelly and sent the second child to the county government office. The family didn't want to see the second room. When they came to the Shu family, they would indeed favor the weakest sixth room. .

Looking up at the sun, Cai Baiwei didn't dare to delay any longer, led Hua Muyang to the house to change clothes, and hurried out the door with a bamboo basket on her back.

Hua Rujin took the copy of "The Law of Salt and Iron" and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone back to the shed, teaching Hua Youen how to read while continuing to read.

These days, she has memorized the content of "Household Marriage" by heart, and combined with the laws of her own era, she will be able to use it handily.

After the Dou family incident, she gradually had a clear direction in her heart. In this era, there are not a few women who have the same miserable fate as her. If you work more on this aspect, you can not only help others, but also earn some money.

And those male lawyers who claim to be full of economics may not necessarily think of making decisions for women.

Anyway, in their eyes, once a disaster happens, the woman will be the one to blame, either the beauty is the trouble, or Kefu and so on.

With this idea, she read more and more hard.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.

Hearing the sound, Hua Youen rushed over with quick eyes and hands.

Hua Rujin just got up, when Hua Youen shouted happily: "Sister, sister, is the uncle next to brother-in-law."

Ting An was taken aback when he heard this: Am I that old?

He called his son Big Brother, but he called me Uncle.

Knowing that it is Ting An, Hua Rujin hastily greeted him.

"Miss Hua, I'm here today to deliver some things for my young master."

With a bitter face, Ting An handed a bulging briefcase into her hands:

"There are 50 taels of silver in it, which were confiscated from the Dou family. The Dou family seems to have a big business, but most of the silver earned in these years has been used to treat his family's strange disease. I heard from the young master that the cash confiscated from the Dou family The silver is only 5000 taels, and the county has to fill up the tunnels of Dou’s family, so some compensation will be given to the family members of the woman who suffered this time.”

"Thank you son for me."

Hua Rujin took the bag and looked at it.

After all, it was the original owner who suffered, so he deserves to be brought by himself.

Moreover, the compensation of 50 taels of silver is not a small amount for an ordinary family. I am afraid that if you are another official, you will have to lose a lot of property obtained by confiscating the house first, so how can you think about compensating the people.

Thinking of this, she looked at Ting An slowly, and asked gently, "How is your son?"

"pretty good."

Ting An said with a smile, "It's just that I'm busy with official duties, and there are still several cases in the backlog that haven't come to fruition yet."

Hua Rujin raised her eyebrows: "When Liu Zhi County was in office, there were so many old cases backlogged?"

"Don't mention it, Liuzhi County committed suicide by jumping into the Chu River in fear of crime, and the body has not been salvaged so far."

Ting An's face became more bitter: "His death was easy, but many unsolved cases were left to the young master. For example, Han Chun confessed to the headless male corpse that was dug up in Dou's cemetery a few days ago. But he couldn't tell where he hid the head, and the young master suspects that the gang from the Dianshi Mansion must have beaten him into a trick."

Hearing that Liu Cheng committed suicide in fear of crime, Hua Rujin's heart skipped a beat.

This dog official is lazy in governing, not diligent in governing for the people, but uses the life of a woman to gain political achievements, and his death is not innocent.

But according to his own understanding of the law of the great cause, the crime he committed was not a capital crime, so he would not apologize with death, so why did he jump into the river?

Could it be that he is timid and afraid of getting into trouble?

And the headless male corpse, since Han Chun confessed, why did he hide the head?
This is really strange.

"Maybe it's a trick of torture."

Hua Rujin replied in a calm tone.

After all, a homicide case of this level is not something she, an unknown commoner, can intervene for the time being. Even if she wants to take over the case urgently, she must hold her breath.

In case Ye Chengwei would suspect that he had ulterior motives for him.

"It's just that Miss Hua and my son have a tacit understanding. The people in the county government think that this person was killed by Han Chun, and the reason why Han Chun refused to reveal where the head was hidden must be deliberately delayed by the advice of an expert. Time is just a chance."

Ting An scratched his head embarrassingly: "Oh, yes, the young master also explained that the entire Jiangling City has been searching for tunnels recently. If there is something wrong with Miss Ru Ruohua's house, please report it to the county in time. The county will send someone to fill it up."

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

Hua Rujin suddenly thought of the old beggar.

This man was mysterious, as if he knew the entire history of Jiangling City like the back of his hand.

That day, I heard him say that he had filled in all the tunnels dug that year, and I don't know if I can believe it.
