After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Chapter 153 Lin Xueqing's Master in Previous Life

Xie Jin was so moved that he wanted to become sworn brothers with him on the spot. Brother Jiang is truly a close friend!

If Shen Nanzhi were here, he would remind him to empty his brain. What is brotherhood for?

What a scam!

It was obvious that he was trying to trick him, but he was still grateful. He was really more naive and stupid than Xiao Song.

It's a pity that Xie Jin doesn't have a good friend like Shen Nanzhi, and doesn't have as good luck as Xiao Song, so he has to run on the road of being cheated.

Xie Jin went to arrange the restaurant and invited Captain Yan to have a drink, but Jiang Chen was waiting in the box, leaving Xie Jin to take care of everything.

Xie Jin was busy and having fun. He had never been so obedient even to his own father. I don’t know what this kid was thinking.

Captain Yan did not refuse his invitation. Since the other party was giving him face and inviting him to drink, he had to go. He could get a free meal and maybe make some money depending on the situation.

When they arrived at the box, they found that there was an acquaintance there unexpectedly. Captain Yan's expression became strange. He probably knew who Xie Jin was standing up for.

"Captain Yan, please take a seat. Thank you for your hard work in maintaining the safety of the entire county."

Captain Yan raised his eyebrows. You sound like the county magistrate giving a lecture. Do you think it's your fault that we have worked so hard?

"Mr. Jiang, you are too polite. You scholars have to work harder to study."

After a few pleasantries and three rounds of drinks, Jiang Chen got down to business. "I heard that the county government arrested our village chief. He's an old man. What crime could he have committed? The reason why Captain Yan mobilized so many troops is that our village is ignorant."

Captain Yan ate a chicken leg that was stewed till it was mushy, drank a glass of wine to wipe his mouth, and asked, "You really don't know?"

"Is it because of my ex-wife again? She is such a vicious person. She insists on pestering me. I really have no choice.

But if she has any problem, she should come to me. It is really too much to attack an old man."

Captain Yan smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, for Mr. Xie's sake, I have to tell you the truth. This time it's not Miss Shen's fault. It's your village chief who really broke the law.

He deceived the villagers, sold land and embezzled villagers' property, murdered villagers, dug up people's ancestral graves, and committed other crimes. He is like a village bully. The villagers are angry but dare not speak out. If the county government does not intervene, County Magistrate Cao will be in vain as the parent official."

Jiang Chen's heart sank. "So it's related to the matter of embezzling villagers' land? Isn't that a thing of the past?"

"When a goose passes by, it leaves a trace. Once it has been done, there will always be people commenting on right and wrong. Injustice will never pass.

That's all I have to say. Thank you both for your hospitality. If you want to fix up the prison and make Village Chief Jiang's life better, I can help you make the connection, but it will cost you money, a lot of money, because life inside is not like outside."

After Captain Yan finished speaking, he said goodbye and left. The two men personally saw him out. Jiang Chen's face was extremely gloomy, and he was considering whether to rescue the village chief.

Xie Jin asked: "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Chen quickly made a decision, "I want to meet the village chief. Can Brother Xie arrange it for me?"

"Do you need to prepare anything? Food, bedding, etc. I heard that being in prison is very painful."

"I'll get ready."

Xie Jin went to work again in a hurry, and had to spend her own pocket money for this month, so she had to live frugally again.

……

Lin Xueqing and Jiang Dayou lived in the only inn in the county. They originally wanted to get two rooms, but one room cost fifty cents, which was too expensive. Jiang Dayou looked as if he wanted to suck his blood. He would rather die than waste money like this.

The shopkeeper looked at the villagers and pointed to the woodshed at the back and said, "Stay in the woodshed. It's ten cents a night. What's your relationship? Husband and wife can stay in one room."

Lin Xueqing was unhappy, "We are cousins, how can we be husband and wife? Do we only have one firewood room?"

"Your cousin lives in a large dormitory, and the room costs five cents, so fifteen cents will solve the problem. But hot water is priced separately, one cent per bucket."

"alright."

Lin Xueqing was helpless and could only comfort herself that this kind of life would soon be over. When Brother Jiang passed the imperial examination, she would be the wife of a successful candidate and live a life of luxury.

She automatically ignored her status as a concubine. As long as she could get pregnant with Brother Jiang's child, it would be the eldest son. It would only be a matter of time before she was supported to become the principal wife.

The more she thought about it, the happier she became. After she settled her luggage, she went out shopping. It was not easy for her to get into the city, so she had to buy some things and dress up nicely so that Brother Jiang would love her more. The important thing was to get pregnant as soon as possible.

The county town is a county town after all. It is much more prosperous than the town, with all kinds of shops standing side by side, making people dazzled.

Lin Xueqing had lived in a wealthy family in her previous life, so she did not show any shyness when entering a high-end shop. She was graceful and confident, and she had a different aura.

If you ignore the patched dress, she would look like a beautiful girl next door.

"What do you want to buy, young lady? Hairpins, pearl hairpins, head flowers, our shop has them at all price ranges."

The waiter intuitively thought that she would buy some bamboo or wooden hairpins worth a few cents, or a few red hairbands worth another penny, and thought that even a small mosquito is still meat, so he entertained her with a smile.

Lin Xueqing selected some hairbands and two red silk flowers. Her eyes lingered on the more beautiful velvet flowers, but they were too expensive. A velvet flower cost sixty cents, which was enough to provide food for a month.

She couldn't wear it outside either. If Aunt Yang knew about it, she would definitely tear it off. The fighting power of the aunts in the village made Lin Xueqing shudder.

The silk flower cost only fifteen cents, plus the hairband, it only cost twenty cents. Even if Aunt Yang knew about it, it was her hard work reward and she wouldn't make a fuss about it.

"How can a beautiful lady like you not have some pretty flowers to wear?"

There was a young man standing on the second floor. I don’t know how long he watched. Then he came downstairs and started talking.

The waiter nodded and said hello: "Hello, young master."

"Well, take out our silver hairpin and show it to the young lady."

Lin Xueqing stared at his face, unable to move her eyes away, and was extremely shocked. How could it be him?

The young man thought that she was attracted by his wealth and elegance, and felt a little proud. This little country girl probably had never seen such a rich man, right?

She is pretty and pretty, which is rare in such a small place.

This young master turned out to be Lin Xueqing's master in the previous life. He was the one who gave her the name Xueqing. But wasn't he in the prefectural city? Why did he come here?

"Cough cough..."

The waiter coughed. Even if he was excited, he shouldn't be so obvious. This girl was staring at the young master, which was really unreserved.

Lin Xueqing came back to her senses, lowered her head and saluted shyly: "Greetings, sir. Hello, sir."

The etiquette learned in the previous life finally came in handy, which made Yang Lingzhao happy again. The young lady also knew etiquette, he was really lucky.

"Please stand up. No need to be polite. Take a look at these hairpins. If you like any of them, I'll give them to you."
