Chapter 25
"My son, you died unjustly..." Mrs. Bao cried uncontrollably at the two boxes of betrothal gifts.

She received a letter from her son in her hometown, saying that she had taken a fancy to the girl and was going to get married.Mrs. Bao was very happy, and went to Beijing to prepare for her son's wedding.

Unexpectedly, when she entered Beijing, what greeted her was the sad news of her son's tragic death.

She made inquisitive inquiries, and heard that her son was killed by robbers while traveling to buy goods.Despite the grief in her heart, Mrs. Bao could only accept this cruel thing.

Mrs. Bao was unaccompanied in the capital, and she wanted to finish her son's funeral, sell all the shops and houses he bought, and then return to her hometown to live.

However, something was wrong. Her son was dead, but the silk shop and the newly bought house changed hands.

Mrs. Bao tried her best to inquire everywhere, but finally heard that she was sold by the girl her son was supposed to marry.

Mrs. Bao came to argue with the Hu family, who knew that the Hu family refused to admit it, and was beaten up by Aunt Hu, accusing her of taking a fancy to their house and shop and wanting to rely on their family.

The Hu family did not admit it, and Mrs. Bao had no relatives in the capital, so she was helpless against the Hu family's scoundrels.After many visits to the house to argue with no results, Mrs. Bao had no choice but to go back to her hometown, but she didn't even have any money on her body.

If it wasn't for Ling Chu's help, Mrs. Bao really didn't know what to do.

Faced with the things Ling Chu brought out, Aunt Hu's mother and son still refused to admit that it was a betrothal gift from He Fengsi, and Aunt Hu's son even categorically denied that he had killed him.

Ling Chu was not surprised by this. After all, they not only cheated on the marriage, but also involved a human life. They would definitely not admit to those charges easily.

But she didn't break up with Mrs. Hu, mother and son, but borrowed a few guards from Commander Ning, and escorted them to Dali Temple, where Mrs. Bao wanted to sue them for murder.

After Mrs. Bao took back her son's wealth, she was very grateful to Ling Chu.Knowing that she wanted to buy the three-entry house, he gave her the deed without saying a word.

Naturally, Ling Chu would not want her house for nothing, but Mrs. Bao refused to accept the money she gave her.

In order to thank Ling Chu for helping him get back the family property, He Fengsi's puppet soul sent Aunt Hu's family to prison, and proposed to give the house to Ling Chu as a thank you gift.

Seeing that he and Mrs. Bao insisted on this, Ling Chu didn't refuse.After all, she avenged them and got their family property back, so she treated the house as a reward.

However, after Dali Siqing finished the trial of the case, Aunt Hu and Liu Yunniang were exiled, Aunt Hu's son was killed after Qiuhou, and Mrs. Bao wanted to go back to her hometown to live, Ling Chu paid for her to hire a few people in the escort agency to escort her back to her hometown .

Of course, this is something to say, so I won’t mention it further.

……

Ling Chu signed a new purchase contract with Mrs. Bao, went to the yamen to file a record, and issued a red contract.

After finishing the work, Ling Chu returned to the tea stall with the freshly baked house deed.

Ling Chu didn't come back for a long time, and the second wife got impatient for waiting, and when she saw her come back, she opened her mouth to complain, "Miss, why have you been here for so long, we have been waiting for a long time.

If you don't come back, others will think that you despise our burdens and want to abandon us and go away by yourself. "

Ling Chu glanced at her, didn't say anything, but took out some money and asked the owner of the tea stand to give everyone a steamed bun for dinner.

The second lady waited for the steamed buns to be distributed, but saw that she didn't have any, she jumped up in anger.

"Big girl, why don't you have my share?"

Ling Chu said coldly, "Second Aunt speaks so vigorously, it seems that she is already full. Since you are not hungry, you can save it."

The second lady choked, she really wanted to eat and drink, but now she can't even take out half a copper coin, where can she eat?

Although Ling Luo, Ling Hui, and Ling Jing were furious when they saw their mothers, they were still young and hadn't tempered their faces, so they couldn't blame Ling Chu.

After all, eating people's mouths are soft, and the two of them are holding the steamed buns Ling Chu bought in their hands.

The three brothers and sisters looked at each other, thinking of giving half of the steamed bun to their mother.

Ling Chu said lightly at this time, "If you are not hungry, then take back the steamed buns. Now everyone has no money, so save if you can."

Although her words were not serious, the three of Ling Luo didn't dare to make any more moves, for fear that Ling Chu thought they were not hungry and wanted to accept their steamed buns.

It's really uncomfortable to be hungry. In the prison, the food assigned by the jailers was really hard to swallow. Now they are already so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs.

Now that they finally have a steamed bun to fill their stomachs, they really don't want to lose it.

Although the second wife was panicking from hunger, she didn't dare to say anything, for fear of offending Ling Chu, she took away the steamed buns from the three children.

The second wife is not willing to let her children starve, but she has no worries about her husband.

She originally thought that her husband would never let her go hungry, but when she looked over to the second master, she saw that he was stuffing the last bite of steamed bun into his mouth.

But Aunt Liu and Sixth Miss didn't know whether it was intentional or not, they turned their backs to her and were eating the steamed buns in their hands.

As for the others, they were all silently lowering their heads and eating the steamed buns in their hands at this moment, turning a blind eye to her anger.

No one is a fool, everyone is penniless now, and even a steamed bun has to be bought with Ling Chu's money, so naturally they don't want to provoke her at this time, lest they be treated differently like the second wife.

After all, not only the Ling Hao brothers and sisters don't want to be hungry again, the others don't want to go through that feeling again, either.

Seeing that everyone turned a blind eye to her, the second lady was so angry that her face turned black, but she couldn't open her mouth to criticize, so she could only give Ling Chu a hard look.

Seeing her deflated, Ling Chu felt better.

Since the second lady still has the strength to criticize her, let her be hungry, so as not to make things worse after she is full.

After eating steamed buns and drinking a few more cups of tea, Ling Chu took everyone to the haunted house.

Entering the mansion, seeing the dilapidated scene inside, and remembering that this is the haunted mansion, everyone just felt that the surroundings were gloomy, and they couldn't help feeling uneasy.

"Miss, this house is so small, how can it accommodate so many of us?" The second wife was very disgusted with this small house.

Ling Chu didn't object, but nodded and said, "This house is really small and dilapidated, and it's really not worthy of the status of Second Aunt. While it's still early and there is no curfew, Second Aunt should go out and buy another big house."

The second wife's face was ugly, but Ling Chu didn't bother to pay attention to her, and turned to the others, "If you are willing to stay, you can discuss and choose the yard by yourself. If you don't want to stay, you can leave with the second aunt."

Putting these words aside, Ling Chu left.

Her temple here is small, and she can't live with love, and she will never force it.

Ling Chu chose a clean yard for himself, found cleaning tools, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start cleaning.

This body is too weak, Ling Chu didn't clean up the whole yard, only tidied up the dormitory.

As dusk fell, the dormitory was tidied up. Ling Chu locked the courtyard door and saw that no one was disturbing him, so he adjusted the system.

After checking the system and counting the only money he had, Ling Chu had only one thought in mind.

so poor!

If the northeast wind blows for the next half month, she will probably be hungry.
