Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

Shen was about to sit down when she paused and gave Chu Qingmei a cold look.

"Silver, there is no silver at home. The silver you brought back yesterday was to be kept as travel expenses for your father and husband for the imperial examination.

This is not enough. I will have to get some back from your parents' home later.

Yesterday we had a good meal to nourish your father and husband, and from today on we will eat the same as before.

Today’s meat buns also contain meat, so I’ll give you one. Don’t even think about cooking them alone next time.

Otherwise, you should go back to your mother's house and eat meat."

After saying that, Shen picked up a meat bun with a distressed look, exchanged it for a vegetarian bun in front of Chu Qingmei, and glared at Chu Qingmei hatefully.

Lin Xiucai and Lin Mingze watched the undercurrent between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, and both chose to let it go. Lin Xiucai said:

"Eat quickly!"

Everyone started to eat.

After the meal, although the atmosphere was not very harmonious, everyone enjoyed the breakfast because it was meat-filled buns that we don’t usually have.

Everyone was fantasizing in their hearts about the scene of Lin Xiucai and his son eating fish and meat at home after they graduated from high school, as if everything was right in front of them.

After dinner, Shen asked Chu Qingmei to wash the dishes, while she went to see if the chickens at home had laid eggs.

These eggs are for my husband and son to supplement their nutrition, one each every day. Sometimes the extra eggs can be sold for copper coins. Otherwise, how can two scholars in this family make a living?

But fortunately, we now have an extra thirty taels of silver. If we save some of it, we will have money to rely on when we take the imperial examinations in the future, right?

Lin Xiucai and Lin Mingze sat at the table, drinking tea and talking.

There was a knock on the door. Shen went out to see who it was and asked, "Who is it? Who are you looking for?"

"We are looking for Mr. Lin. Is Mr. Lin at home?"

Shen was sure that he was looking for her home, so she opened the door and said, "He's at home. What are you looking for him for~~~"

When she saw that the people coming were Chu Qinghe, the head of the village and the village chief, she remembered the scene when the engagement was broken off, and Shen stopped talking abruptly.

There was a look of astonishment on his face, followed by a burst of joy:

"Hey, Qinghe girl, how come you have time to come here today? Come on, come in."

As she said this, she was about to take Qinghe's hand and bring her home. Chu Qinghe dodged Shen's hand and followed Shen into the house.

When Lin Xiucai and Lin Mingze saw several people in the room, they immediately remembered the previous cancellation of the engagement and felt a little embarrassed. Lin Mingze felt embarrassed but also a little happy.

"Qinghe, did you know that my father and I were ill and came to see us? I knew that Qinghe cared about me the most and would not forget me.

I can't move yet, come and sit next to me."

After saying that, he pointed to the place next to him and motioned Chu Qinghe to come over.

When the head of the village and the village chief heard what Lin Mingze said, they were speechless. Which girl was so blind to come to see a married man like you? You are so shameless.

He quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry to bother you today. I'm sure you still remember the IOU you wrote when you broke off the engagement. We are here today to collect the debt with He girl."

Lin Xiucai and Lin Mingze were also embarrassed. Of course they remembered the IOU.

But when I saw Chu Qinghe today, the originally thin, petite and sallow girl had now transformed into a graceful and beautiful young lady.

A crazy idea flashed through the minds of everyone in the Lin family: divorce Chu Qingmei and marry Chu Qinghe.

Mr. Lin laughed and said:

"Village head, please take this trip. We all remember you. I can't get up now. I won't greet you. Please take a seat here."

After hearing the Lin family admit their mistake, the head of the village and the chief sat down as they were told.

"My dear niece, how is your father's health now?

I heard that his legs were almost healed, so I was going to go see him. However, both my father and I had accidents one after another, so I was unable to go.

I also need you to help your uncle bring good news to your father. I will definitely come to visit you when I get better."

Mr. Lin looked at Chu Qinghe and greeted him.

As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you. Chu Qinghe also responded politely:

"Thank you for your concern. My father is in good health. He enjoys eating and feels healthy.

Now not only is his legs better, but his health is better than before. People say that my father has looked younger after we separated!

Don’t you think so, Lizheng Grandpa, Village Chief Grandpa?”

Isn't it just a small talk? Who wouldn't do that? I would even stab myself in the heart.

The two grandfathers who were named said with a smile:

"Isn't it? Apart from doing the leg recovery training, Lao Er spends the rest of his time eating and drinking. He is in great shape now, stronger and younger than before."

"Qinghe girl is really filial and takes good care of her family!

Even people like us in the village have followed He Yatou to make money, and our lives have improved a lot.”

The two grandfathers praised Qinghe with great enthusiasm and incessantly.

Chu Qinghe thought that there was no need to praise him so much, and it was more important to get down to business, so he interrupted the two grandfathers:

"Grandpa Lizheng, Grandpa Village Head, please stop praising me, let's get down to business!

We have things to do when we return to the village, so we can’t waste time.”

"Yes, yes, yes. Look at Grandpa. He never stops talking."

He turned around and said to Lin Xiucai:

"When we broke off the engagement last time, Mr. Lin wrote the IOU himself. It's been over a month. Let's collect it now."

Lin Xiucai said awkwardly:

"To be honest, my father and I are in a difficult financial situation right now and we can't make any money.

I wonder if you can give us some time to return it after we both recover?"

"Uncle Xiucai, if you said that we didn't have the money before, that's fine. We came here today because we know that the Lin family can come up with this amount of money.

Besides, we smelled a strong aroma of meat when we entered the door just now. How could we afford to eat meat buns without money?"

Chu Qinghe must take the silver today, no matter what anyone says.

"Yes, since there is money at home, it doesn't matter whether you pay it back early or late. It's better to settle it early and save trouble for everyone. Don't you think so, Mr. Lin?" Li Zheng chimed in.

"Yes, Uncle Xiucai is a scholar, and he is very disciplined in what he says and does. He will definitely not fail to pay back the money, right?"

Chu Qinghe followed the instructions of the village head and tied up Lin Xiucai.

To deal with scholars, as long as they have a little morality, you can use kidnapping.

Lin Mingze looked at Chu Qinghe from the side. The girl who used to always lower her head shyly and speak in a low voice when she saw him, now became radiant and charming, exuding a charming temperament everywhere.

The more Lin Mingze looked at her, the more excited he became, and he became more determined to marry Chu Qinghe.

But this matter still needs to be considered carefully. I can't leave a bad impression on her. After we get married, won't her things belong to me?

"Dad, you are a gentleman who keeps your word, just do as Qinghe said and give them the silver!"

After saying this, he looked at Mr. Lin meaningfully.

Originally, Mr. Lin wanted to make a good impression by paying back the money, so he told Shen:

"Go get thirty taels of silver and have my niece take it back. We'll come back to apologize in a few days."

Shen was also thinking about marrying Qinghe in the future, so she couldn't cause any unpleasantness now and turned around to get the silver.

"Wait a minute Chu Qinghe, don't even think about taking a single penny from the Lin family."

After Chu Qingmei finished cleaning the kitchen, she came over and heard her father-in-law asking her mother-in-law to get money for that bitch Chu Qinghe. She was so angry that she stepped forward to stop them.
