MTL - Our Mommy is the Best Investigator!-Chapter 7 bet

  Chapter 7 Gamble

  Chu Nanzhi slowly lowered her palm, it was the parents' fault for not teaching the child.

  She bent down to pick up the mutton pie that fell on the ground, and while brushing off the dust on it, she said solemnly: "Even if you don't eat, you can't waste food."

   As she spoke, a sharp look flashed across her clear eyes, and she asked the four little guys: "Who told you that I killed your father?"

  The four little guys were afraid, but they all focused on Li Ce.

Li Ce didn't flinch, and said bluntly: "Yes, I told them. Could it be that what I said was false? If it weren't for you, a woman who is unruly and provokes troubles outside, and is tyrannical and domineering at home to make things difficult for the children, how could Brother Jinxiao do this?" My heart was smoldering, which made me lose my job two years ago, and this time I will not be in a hurry to go to cover the job."

  His words made Chu Nanzhi frowned.

   The fact that Lin Jinxiao lost his job in the county government two years ago did have something to do with the original owner.

  At the beginning, gossip between the original owner and Taoist Ximen aroused criticism. Lin Jinxiao was depressed and got drunk all night in the wine shop, and missed the next day's errand. For this reason, he was punished and dismissed by the county magistrate.

   And this tax and bank case was clearly designed by the Taoist to murder him.

   But Li Ce doesn't know the details right now, and he may be too deliberate in saying those words in front of the children, fearing that he will make the children hate her for a lifetime.

   Maybe these little guys will seek revenge on themselves when they grow up.

  She stared at Li Ce, and said in a stern tone: "I have already said just now, Lin Dalang is fine, no matter how bad I am, I am their mother. You shouldn't say such things in front of children."

   "Why should I trust you?"

Li Ceman smiled sarcastically: "I really think I am possessed by the Daluo God. Brother Jinxiao committed the crime of beheading. Do you think you can let the county magistrate release you with just a few words? Don't think I don't I know your little thoughts, but you just want to trick me into preparing to run away again."

  He began to speculate in his heart that this crazy woman had caused a catastrophe in the county government, so his vigilance towards her became more and more intense.

  Looking at the mutton pie in Chu Nanzhi's hand, he immediately became furious, pointed at her and shouted loudly:

   "You really are a heartless villain. Brother Jinxiao's life and death are uncertain right now, but you still take the only life-saving money in the family to go out and squander it. You really don't care about life or death. What crime did brother Jinxiao do in this life?"

   "Wolves roam the world and eat meat, my mother is short of this money?"

  Chu Nanzhi had no patience with this villager, and said angrily, "Don't look at people like you are a frog in a well."

The little girl next to Li Ce also thought of something at this time, gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, and whispered in front of him: "Uncle Li, the money in the package is still there, I just hid it. "

  Li Ce's face tightened when he heard the words, and he suddenly looked embarrassed.

  Chu Nanzhi didn't bother to argue with him anymore, anyway, Lin Jinxiao would send it back soon.

   Tired for a long time, she was already a little tired. Looking at Li Ce, she sneered and said:

   "Since you don't believe what I say, why don't we make a bet, if Lin Dalang can come back intact today, how about you kneel down and call me aunt?"

   "Don't say it's my aunt, you crazy woman wants it. If I really have that ability, I will kowtow to you eighteen times on my knees, and it's not too much to call you an old ancestor."

  Li Ce's mind was still immersed in the matter of how the woman bought the mutton pie, and he seemed a little hesitant when he said this.

  Seeing his swearing appearance, Chu Nanzhi didn't say anything.

  Being someone's ancestor for the first time, one should be mentally prepared.

Putting the mutton cakes back into the kitchen, she came to the hut where she rested last night, washed up briefly, arranged the furnishings in the room, and saw that the guest table in the living room that she had broken last night had been repaired, so she was free Come down and prepare to settle the rest of the silver.

   These thirty-eight taels of silver and one tael of gold are now her entire property.

  If she reconciles with Lin Jinxiao, she will have to make a plan to rely on this money to support herself for a long time in the future.

  The law and order in ancient times was not as good as she thought, and the silver had to be kept properly.

  She remembered that this room was originally used by four little guys, and later the original owner drove Lin Jinxiao into this room.

  Lin Jinxiao was injured in her leg two days ago, and the original owner planned to escape, so she pretended to vacate the master bedroom for the children and Lin Jinxiao to rest, while she herself lived in the hut so that she could escape at any time.

  The structure of this hut is simple, and there is nothing very hidden.

  After thinking for a while, she took the cloth that wrapped the mutton pie, wrapped the silver tightly, and put it in the empty shelf at the top of the small wardrobe.

   After finishing all this, she vaguely heard Li Ce and the four little guys whispering outside:

   "The woman has been in for so long, but there is no movement, Sibao, you should sneak into the house to see, and don't let her run away again."

   "Woooooh, I won't go, I won't go, I'm afraid."

   "Then uncle, go in and have a look, don't run around, I promised your father that I will let you live a good life, and you will not make mistakes."

  Chu Nanzhi thought to himself: This guy changed his mind quite quickly. Last night he told Anshao to let her go, but today he is afraid of her running away. It really is unpredictable.

  She went to open the door, only to see Li Ce staggered and fell in directly, falling like a dog and eating shit.

   The two of them were not allowed to react, and they heard the voices of the little ones calling for grandma and little aunt outside.

  Chu Nanzhi knew that it was the original owner's mother Liu Yun and third younger sister Chu Nanzhu, so she hurried out to greet her.

  As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a middle-aged woman holding several dolls and crying together:

   "Heaven is going to kill people. My son-in-law is full of talents, smart and capable, and finally has some hope, but he is in such a catastrophe. I really pity you."

  Seeing Chu Nanzhi, the woman immediately stopped crying, and walked up to her, with a look of hatred on her face, she slapped her **** directly, and then couldn't help but began to cover her face and cry:

   "You are worthless, you are really worthless, how many times have you been told by my mother to take good care of your husband and raise your children at home, but you just went out and caused so many troubles, making the whole family unhappy."

  Looking at the middle-aged woman who had experienced many vicissitudes, Chu Nanzhi felt sad for a while.

Liu Yun is only in her thirties now, but her hair is already covered with white hair, and her forehead is covered with wrinkles. In addition, she is dressed in plain clothes today, without even a half piece of jewelry, making her look like a senile old man appearance.

   Before Chu Nanzhi could answer in the future, Liu Yun took a heavy package from Chu Nanzhu beside him and put it on the small stone table:

   "You keep the two hundred and thirty taels of silver, take it and manage it, and see if you can get a light sentence. Even if you can't save Dalang's life, you have to find a way for you, mother and son."

   After a pause, she added earnestly: "Don't think about running away anymore, the four little treasures are just meat that fell from your body, you don't care about them, who else cares about their life or death."

  Chu Nanzhi glanced at the bag of silver, and asked in puzzlement, "Where did you get all this money?"

"Sister, don't ask me any more. In the past two days, my mother has been running around to raise funds, and then I secretly borrowed two hundred taels of silver from my uncle, and then sold all the valuable jewelry and clothes. This is already all our family's possessions." .”

  Chu Nanzhu said sullenly from the side.

  Chu Nanzhi felt sore again.

   No wonder she is dressed so plainly today.

  She remembered that the original owner's family was not rich, and relied on his uncle's support to set up a family business. However, his uncle Chu Wenyu was just an inverse son-in-law who was forced to marry into the Qi family, a wealthy family in Luyan Port.

   In the past, before the triplets of the original owner got married, the Qi family could turn a blind eye to Chu Wenyu occasionally helping the second wife.

  But in the past few years, after the three sisters of the original owner got married, the amount of money Chu Wenyu donated became larger and larger, and the Qi family finally couldn't bear it anymore.

  Speaking of it, this is also due to the fact that the original owner's mother is not well-informed.

  The son-in-law chosen for the daughters was not only Lin Jinxiao who was more down-to-earth and hard-working, but the husband of the second sister Chu Nanxiang was also a scholar, but he was just a vain man trying to gain fame.

  The son-in-law recruited by the third sister, Chu Nanzhu, is also a scumbag who is addicted to gambling and drinking.

  A few days ago, the original owner went home to get money, and heard that his father, Chu Wenbi, became ill because of the gambling of the third son-in-law Liu Shuyang.

  Chu Nanzhi picked up the package on the stone table and handed it back to Chu Nanzhu, turned his gaze back to Liu Yun, and said softly:

   "I helped the county magistrate to clear up the tax case today. Dalang is already fine, so he doesn't need this much money. Mother returns the money from my uncle's house as soon as possible, and save the rest for my father's medical treatment."

   "You helped the county magistrate to find out the case?"

  Liu Yun touched her bandaged forehead in disbelief, annoyed and distressed: "Could it be that you were injured yesterday and really lost your mind?"
