The old man was hunched over with a helpless expression on his face.

After a long while, she finally said:
  "Are you going to completely draw a clear line with the Lin family?"

Zhong Chuchu was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the old lady meant.

"Mom, what do you mean by this?"

"You want to go out and build your own house, not the Lin family's house..."

The old lady looked apologetic:
  "I know that the third child passed away early, which made you three suffer a lot, but our Lin family has given this house to you. Even if I sometimes say unpleasant things, I have never done anything to hurt you! "

Zhong Chuchu nodded, the Lin family is really kind.

This new house, if it really followed the laws of the day, would definitely have to be returned.

The Lin family only let her occupy it for the sake of their two children.

Although the old lady didn't sound nice at first, after getting along with her for a while, her attitude towards her gradually changed.

"Dabao Niang, I understand that you are still young, and the old man and I will not stop you from remarrying, but you must not take these two children away!"

There was an undeniable toughness in the old lady's tone.

This is her bottom line and the Lin family's bottom line.

Zhong Chuchu didn't expect that she wanted to return the house to them with good intentions, but was misunderstood that she wanted to remarry.

She could only smile helplessly and quickly expressed her attitude to the old lady.

"Mom, I don't want to remarry. The two children are originally descendants of the Lin family, and I will not take them away! The old house is in disrepair for a long time. I heard Dabao said that water leaked everywhere when it rained, and the new house only has one room. From now on, The two children have grown up and it is not easy to live in, so I thought about building a new house. After you move here, there will be room for expansion in the back. Then I will tell Song Lizheng to buy the land behind and expand. It’s enough for a family to live in!”

She said so much in one breath that the old lady was confused.

"You...are you telling the truth? Are you really not trying to draw a clear line with the Lin family?"

Zhong Chuchu nodded heavily.

After living in ancient times for such a long time, she understood a truth.

The family is a support, not a drag.

After dinner, Mr. Lin stayed specially and asked her about the location of her new house.

After hearing her say that the homestead was chosen in the northernmost part of the town, he frowned and asked:

"It's too desolate and far away from the center of the town. I'll discuss it with Lao Song tomorrow and choose a new piece of land for you."

"Dad, no need. Song Lizheng has already taken me there to see it. It's right on the river and it's convenient to get water."

She shook her head and rejected the old man's kindness.

"Dabao is already studying now. It's more open and quiet there and won't be disturbed by others."

The old man heard this and nodded.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Today's wall will be in vain!"

"It would be good to build this wall higher. It will be safer when you move here."

She said slowly:
  "The world in this world is not good. There are many people who take desperate risks. It is always right to be careful."

The old man agreed very much.

When he was a child, he experienced the human tragedy of exchanging children and eating them!
  At that time, human nature will undergo a huge test.

Forget it, it's just a waste of money on materials.

Li Hu was transferred to the government by Song Lizheng. When Magistrate Lu heard the cause and effect, his anger grew.

This is simply slapping him in the face!
  He has been an official all his life, and the court may not even know his name.

But after this incident with Mrs. Zhong, her face was revealed, and her future promotion was settled.

Nowadays, among the surrounding counties, who doesn’t envy him?
  But there are good and bad things about this.

He also found out clearly that Mrs. Zhong could be rewarded.

The officials have dealt with some people with thunderous means, but Mrs. Zhong is probably just showing her attitude to the world!

Despite the small reward, compared to Mo Zicheng entering the Hanlin Academy directly, it was like a world away!

But after all, he was registered with the imperial court!
  If something happens to her on the territory under her jurisdiction!
  I'm afraid that I will suffer as well!
  The more Magistrate Lu thought about it, the more he became afraid, and when he looked at Li Hu, he didn't like anything.

Today he will kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and punish this person severely! Let people know his attitude!

Li Hu was still lying on the ground like a dead dog.

He didn't know that he would hit a brick wall.

When the verdict comes down, one hundred big boards will not be able to escape!

And there is jail time!

Song Li was watching from the sidelines and felt that this punishment was too severe!
  But he didn't dare to say anything.

"Old Song, did Madam Zhong say anything?"

Magistrate Lu asked.

"No, I didn't say anything."

Song Lizheng replied:
  "She is a woman, so she must be frightened!"

Magistrate Lu thought for a moment and said:

"Go back and invite Mrs. Zhong to my house for this year's winter banquet! Just let her relax! Besides, we really need to let everyone know about this strange woman who invented engraving and printing! Wait! Yes, I will ask someone to get you two invitations. This year, you can come too!"

When Song Lizheng heard this, his eyes lit up!

"Many... many thanks to Magistrate Lu for the invitation! I will deliver the invitation when I get back."

The county magistrate's house holds a winter banquet every year.

At that time, all the dignitaries from the county would come. Normally, this kind of banquet would not be his turn.

Unexpectedly, I would benefit from Lady Zhong this year!
  "Well, the Zhong family is in Qingyan Town, which is under your jurisdiction. If you encounter difficulties, you should take care of them!"

Magistrate Lu thought for a while and said again.

"I'll have someone prepare something later, and you can take it back and it will be a shock!"

Song Li nodded hurriedly.

Zhong Chuchu held a dark blue invitation in her hand, with a smile on her lips.

The invitation is from Magistrate Lu, and the winter banquet will be held in Lu Mansion three days later.

She knew very well that this kind of banquet was attended by dignitaries.

With her status, if she could receive an invitation, it would be a blessing for her ancestors to burn incense!
  She was quite interested.

Such a banquet can also open her eyes as a person from modern times.

There is nothing new around.

However, such a banquet still needs to be carefully prepared.

She thought about it at home for two days and rejected countless ideas.

Finally, I picked a few things in the trading mall as gifts for the banquet.

The day of the banquet arrived.

Song Lizheng, who had made an appointment with her, didn't come, and the person who came was Song Yan.

"Ms. Zhong, my father is infected with the cold and asked me to go to this winter banquet on his behalf."

Song Yan explained.

"is it serious?"

She cared a word.

"It's not a problem, it's just a little wind-cold, but the doctor told him not to go out for the next few days."

Song Yan's expression did not change.

Zhong Chuchu didn't say anything and nodded slightly.

Only Song Yan knew whether Song Lizheng was infected with the cold.

I'm afraid he just wants to leave the opportunity to his son!
