At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system
Chapter 245 Gou's Strange In-Laws
I estimate it to be at least ten taels!
Well, the Tang family is so sensible, so it seems like she has done too little.
After thinking it over, Lin Qing hurriedly bought a few bottles of Fengyoujing and a bottle of stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets from the mall and handed them to Butler Liu.
"These are what I promised the old lady. I'll have to ask Butler Liu to pass them on. I'm afraid the old lady's stomach will be fragile for a while after she recovers from her illness. This is for stomach nourishment and digestion. You can take three or four pieces at bedtime."
When Butler Liu saw her suddenly take out so many bottles of magical medicine from the basket, he was so shocked that he could hardly close his mouth.
After accepting it with profuse thanks, he wanted to take some cakes as a thank you gift, but then he thought that this would seem like sending someone away, so he hurriedly told the servant to go to the accounting office to get another consultation fee.
Lin Qing quickly waved his hand to refuse.
The Tang family was so generous that she felt a little embarrassed.
Butler Liu felt that he had gotten a great deal, and he bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Madam, for your kindness! I just wonder if I should personally go to Songsi Village to ask you to come to my house in the future, or..."
"No need to bother. Manager Qian will be visiting our village frequently these days to collect sour dates. If you need me to come, just send him a message."
Butler Liu was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly understood and said in astonishment, "Could it be that Miss Lin gave the prescription to Shopkeeper Qian?"
Seeing Lin Qing nod, Butler Liu was so impressed that he couldn't express it in words.
"Your Excellency, the Divine Envoy's generosity is truly beyond the reach of mortals like us. You possess such a powerful recipe, yet instead of inventing a new one, you've even given it away. Truly... My, if Shopkeeper Qian had such a secret recipe, I'm afraid he'd be so proud!"
After the two chatted for a while, Butler Liu respectfully said goodbye to Lin Qing, and then hurried back to report to his master.
Tang Xianzhi had just finished his official duties and was reading a new work by a great scholar without raising his eyelids. He said calmly, "I didn't expect that after coming to Anping Town, Changhong, you would also act like a master."
Butler Liu was frightened by the anger emanating from Tang Xianzi and quickly knelt on the ground and reported everything he had heard from the old lady.
Tang Xianzi's fingertips tightly grasped the book, the paper deformed under his violent squeezing, and then he threw it to the ground in anger with a loud noise.
"Damn it! This Jia Zhengdao is absolutely lawless! He's hypocritically giving out porridge on the surface, but secretly he's doing this kind of thing! Cannibalism, they actually dare to eat people! No wonder, no wonder the rumors about him are all over the city, but they can't find any evidence. So that's how it is!"
Tang Xianzi's pale face turned red with anger and he was extremely embarrassed and angry.
"And this He Zhang is unworthy of his position as the head of a county! It would be fine if he just sat there doing nothing, but he actually colluded with Jia Zhengdao and was willing to be his protector, colluding with him!"
Butler Liu knew that the calm and composed master would be angry, but he didn't expect him to be so furious.
He was a gentle and refined man, but he could scold people so fluently, even a little bit intoxicated. After scolding these two people, he seemed unsatisfied. He stood up angrily and walked out of the study, heading towards the old lady's main house.
Old Madam Tang was playing with the medicated oil left by Lin Qing, and was discussing with Qingzhu the possibility of Lin Qing and her son. Suddenly, when she looked up, she saw Tang Xianzi's figure. She was startled unconsciously and felt embarrassed as if she had been caught doing something bad in the act.
Before I could ask him indirectly whether he heard what I just said, he was scolded:
"Mother! You witnessed them committing such a ruthless act at the Tang Mansion, killing and cannibalizing people. How could you keep it to yourself? Instead of telling me, you told Miss Lin? If it weren't for her today, would you have buried this matter deep in your heart forever, taking it with you to your grave? Putting aside whether this matter would affect the situation in Anping Town, what did you promise me before I brought you here? You said you'd come here to relax, not to suffer this kind of injustice!"
Old Madam Tang was so stunned by the scolding that Qingzhu was so frightened that she quickly stood aside with her hands hanging down, not daring to say a word.
She had never seen the master so angry before. It seemed that the Jia family had really touched the master's sore spot this time.
Tang Xianzhi was getting more and more angry as he spoke. "No matter how busy I am, I can still spare some time to deal with this little matter! Besides, have you ever thought about how I would explain to the Holy Queen if you really died in a foreign land? Wouldn't I regret it for the rest of my life?!"
Butler Liu's back was covered in cold sweat after hearing this, and he even wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
How can the master's words be so choking...
But what he didn't expect was that the old lady was worthy of being the old lady, and was no less capable than the master.
"You're so busy every day, how could I have the chance to talk to you? Besides, I personally wrote a letter to County Magistrate He Zhang to ask for an audience. How could I have known that they would be on the same page?"
The old lady took a few deep breaths, slammed the bed in anger, and cried, "Also, what was your attitude just now? It really broke my heart! Am I your subordinate? How dare you yell at me like that? Is this how you let me relax?"
Tang Xianzhi lost his temper for a moment, lowering his head and apologizing, "Forgive me, mother. I was just worried and confused, and I didn't mean to upset you. Please rest. I still have official business to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, he fled the scene in a panic.
Old Madam Tang looked at his back and couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"Humph, you're too young to fight me! But how can he control those people if he's so cowardly? Changhong, remember that Doctor Lin said she'd make me hot and sour noodles? How about you ask her to come over tomorrow?"
Butler Liu retreated in fear and trepidation, thinking to himself that when the great gods were fighting, they shouldn't involve a little devil like him!
...
Gu Changqing placed the braised pork that his aunt had asked him to bring back on the table. Seeing his mother staring at the meat in the basin with shining eyes, he said with some disappointment:
"Mother, your aunt is willing to take the risk of teaching your father a lesson for you. Although this is not a decent move, it does give you a chance to breathe. This way, even if I return to the academy in the future, your father will be mindful of your aunt and will not dare to act rashly.
"You know better than me what my aunt's family situation is like, but even so, she just bought some meat from town, and she gave us so much without holding any grudges. Don't you have anything else to say besides being touched?
"There was such a big commotion this morning, I doubt you didn't hear it. If that's the case, why didn't you go out and help?"
Gou was speechless and blushed.
Her incompetent behavior also made her wake up in the middle of the night many times with deep regret.
She could tell that her son was dissatisfied with Dahuai's arrogance and ruthlessness, and also disliked his own cowardice and incompetence.
This morning she did hear Song Youzu's family coming to cause trouble. She listened for a long time and wanted to open the door several times, but finally chose to back down.
Just like now, after being scolded by her son, she found an excuse to escape from home, but found that she had nowhere to go and could only knock on the door next door.
Seeing that after Gou sat down, she either sighed worriedly or stared at him with unfocused eyes, Lin Qing naturally did not rush her. She even started to check the system mall out of boredom to see if there were any new products.
After a long time, Gou finally spoke with a stammer.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, for inviting Changqing to dinner, letting him stay overnight at your place, and giving us such delicious rice crust and braised pork. Sister-in-law, didn't you ask me to come over the other day? I was delayed by something these past two days, so I came here today to listen to your instructions."
Lin Qing laughed.
It's hard for her to come up with such an excuse.
"What can I do for you? First, tell me what delayed you."
Suddenly, an idea struck her.
The two families had such a lively scene a few days ago that most of the people in the village came to watch. How could they not see Gou's eldest daughter?
"But is it because of Daya? Did she get into some trouble?"
Gou looked at Lin Qing in surprise, and her eyes couldn't help but show a bit more admiration.
A few days ago, Daya went to Wangjiazhuang in the dark and didn't leak any information. She just told others that she was staying at her uncle's house. How did the sister-in-law know?
Can my sister-in-law predict the future?
Under Lin Qing's scorching gaze, Gou confessed somewhat shyly.
"Daya didn't run into any trouble, she made a big appearance! She went to her future husband's family, Mr. Wang, to help with the funeral arrangements."
When talking about her daughter, a happy smile appeared on Gou's face, and there was a hint of pride in her smile.
