The official sneered and said, "There's nothing here, so why are you in such a hurry? Quickly, remove all the reeds."

Master Bai said anxiously, "That won't do. These are our own things. Do you have a search warrant?"

In ancient times, conducting a search usually required certain legal procedures.

There must be an official document. For example, when a constable searches a suspect's residence, a search warrant issued by a judicial authority such as the county government is often required.

This is similar to a modern search warrant to show that the search is based on reasonable suspicion of a crime.

The official sneered and said, "We suspect robbers here, so we have to investigate. Hurry and uncover it! Are you scared?"

Sun Mei smiled as she sat on the oxcart, saying, "They might be bandits. I think we should search them thoroughly."

Zhao Qiaoniang said loudly, "I think it's unfair to search only our family. We should search everyone together."

Someone shouted, "Search if you want. Are we afraid? We didn't steal anything anyway."

"That's right! After all, we are not as wealthy as your family."

"I don't know what's on this wheelbarrow and flatbed truck."

Everyone was talking about it, and the officials lost their patience:

"Are you scared? Go and take away their wheelbarrows.

I want to see what's on this wheelbarrow."

Normally, these wheelbarrows and flatbed carts are covered tightly, and most people really don't know what's inside. Sun Mei tried to take a sneak peek several times, but couldn't see clearly at all.

Now that they could finally see it, those people quickly lifted the reeds from the flatbed carts and wheelbarrows, and everyone was speechless.

The official was so angry that he kicked the basket over and asked, "Why do you put so many stones and firewood on the cart?"

Master Bai quickly straightened the backpack and said, "These are all spiritual stones from the mountain. Please don't kick them and break them. If you do, you'll have to pay me."

"Hahahahahaha..." There were laughters all around.

Sun Mei was also disappointed: "How is this possible? All you have left along the way are rocks and firewood? Impossible, then what are you going to eat?"

Master Bai sighed and said:

"Of course we don't eat as much as you do. You eat horse meat every day, so of course we can only gnaw on tree bark. Oh! Let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it.

Sir, can we go now?"

The people in the government office sneered and said, "Hurry up and take all of you garbage away. How could anyone like someone carrying food? It's disgusting to me."

"Isn't it? I thought it was a big fish! Sun Zhongwen, didn't you say these people are very rich?"

Sun Zhongwen quickly nodded and bowed, "I saw them pushing so many things, and I thought they were carrying food! Who knew they were beggars?"

Master Bai was furious:

"How did we become beggars?

We haven't asked you for a penny, don't try to bully us, I'm still a scholar!"

The head of the yamen coughed and said, "I'm so sorry, old man. It's my fault for being so rude. I'll have a good talk with him later."

Master Bai nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll go."

After they left, Zhao Qiaoniang said, "Uncle Bai, you were so impressive just now! How did you come up with the idea of ​​using your status as a scholar to pressure them?"

Master Bai stroked his beard and laughed heartily. Madam Bai beside him also laughed out loud:

“Your Master Bai is more than just a scholar.

Hey! Let’s pack up our things and continue on our journey!

Sun Mei stamped her feet in anger. Why was Zhao Qiaoniang so strange? They had nothing to eat, but she didn't believe anyone?

That horse meat is a real thing, right? But today I didn't see any at all. All I saw in the cart was firewood and stones.

Could it be that they hid everything?

Sun Mei was really upset. She didn't expect Zhao Qiaoniang to know about her and Manager Sun. This was enough to make her unable to sleep or eat every day.

She must kill all of Zhao Qiaoniang and her gang on the way. Otherwise, if the matter is leaked, she will have no place to stand in the Lin family.

Now everyone in the Lin family listens to her very much. Even Lin Dachang has become much better. He no longer goes out to drink and party every day, but just sits aside and reads.

If Lin Dachang could pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, it would be a great thing for her. Then she would become the wife of a scholar.

The entire Sun family has now gone to Bian Jing. If she goes to Bian Jing at that time, this identity will be enough for her to brag about for a long time.

She liked Butler Sun, but she also didn't want her children to become slaves.

Sun Mei sat on the ox cart, thinking wildly that the Sun family did have a shop here.

Several of the guys here were promoted by Manager Sun. After Sun Mei showed them Manager Sun's jade pendant, those people actually recognized it.

Finally, they found an ox cart, gave her two bags of grain, and some medicine for bruises.

She felt that she was fine again. Old Mrs. Lin used some medicine for her injuries and felt that her legs were much better. "My dear wife, you are so kind to me! I will be devoted to you from now on."

Sun Mei glanced at her and said, "Don't always think that I'm not as good as Zhao Qiaoniang. I've been pretty good to you."

Old Mrs. Lin nodded quickly and said:

“I understand, I will treat you and the child well from now on, you are still the most capable one to be the eldest daughter-in-law.

I think you are the god sent from heaven to save us, and our Zao Zao is also a lucky star.

Otherwise, how could we have encountered such a good thing?

"Look at Zhao Qiaoniang and her gang. I thought they were rich, but I never knew their backpacks were filled with firewood and stones. They're nothing."

Sun Mei narrowed her eyes. She liked it when Old Lady Lin scolded Zhao Qiaoniang. Wasn't Zhao Qiaoniang a piece of shit?

Lin Dasheng drove the ox cart and sighed:

"This Zhao Qiaoniang must be mentally ill, otherwise why would she not let our family enjoy such a good life?

Looking at the things in their backpacks, I almost laughed out loud.

And that damn girl is a disaster! But they just refuse to admit it."

Sun Mei looked at Lin Dasheng approvingly and said, "Second Uncle is indeed very insightful. From now on, those who are good to our family will have a better and better life, while those who are not good to our family will suffer great misfortune."

Lin Dachang was teaching Lin Ze and Lin Han to read. He paused when he heard this and continued, "Similar in nature..." I'll teach you how to write these three words twice more.

Lin Dachang was extremely devastated at the moment. It was just a basic three-character classic.

But these two idiots forced themselves to learn all the way, and finally learned six words: Man is born good.

He even began to doubt whether these two children were his own. How could they be so stupid?
