After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

Because Wang Weiyuan had made preparations in advance, Jinchu successfully rented the courtyard on the same day, and things went unexpectedly smoothly.

Thinking that he would have to go to the provincial capital again tomorrow, and it would be distracting and inconvenient to take Zhao'er back and forth, Jin Chu discussed with Wang Weiyuan and directly booked a room at Tongfu Inn, entrusting Zhao'er to Wang Weiyuan's care for one night.

She and Huizhen hurried back to Qingxi Village.

After all, he had lived in the Sun family's mansion for three years, and before leaving, the third brother did promise that he would thank Sun family again when he came back to pick up Jinchu and his sister.

No one can stand without faith!

In his heart, Jin Chu actually wanted to help his third brother, whom he had never met, and fulfill his promise to the Sun family.

Sun was a great villain who caused the original body to die, but for Jin Chu, it was indeed an indirect blessing in disguise, and he had another chance to be reborn.

Jin Chu has always been a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment.

Since she accepted the kindness of her original body, she would raise Zhao'er with all her heart, and naturally she would not want her original body's third brother to be branded as a traitor for no reason.

After making up her mind, she took out thirty taels of silver and an extra two taels of change and went straight to Huizhen's house.

It was dinner time. Except for her grandfather who was in the blacksmith shop, Huizhen's parents were at home. Jinchu didn't hesitate and stated his request immediately.

It turned out that she wanted Huizhen's parents to go with her to the Sun family's house as witnesses to fulfill her third brother's promise! Then she could leave with a clear conscience.

Because Huizhen's family runs a blacksmith shop, her grandfather and father's craftsmanship is well-known in the surrounding area. In addition, the father and son are generous and sensible. The farm tools they make are easy to use and the prices are reasonable. Therefore, her blacksmith shop is bustling with people every day and business is booming.

As the saying goes, the first thirty years are about how the father respects the son, and the last thirty years are about how the son respects the father.

As Wang Weiyuan went to the best academy in the city in recent years and was appreciated by the best teacher, the Wang family's reputation rose rapidly and became one of the best in Qingxi Village.

Jin Chu came here today just to borrow his family's reputation to help him.

Finally, Jinchu put down two taels of silver with a bit of embarrassment: "Huizhen and I are like sisters. Uncle and aunt treat my sister and me like their own children and nephews. Your family has always been known for its kindness and understanding. Jinchu will shamelessly borrow your family's reputation to handle my own private affairs. I hope the two elders can help Jiner!"

Seeing that Jinchu spoke sincerely and frankly, Huizhen's parents were very satisfied.

Even when this girl takes advantage of others, she always says it openly, which shows that she is a girl of upright character.

Huizhen's father pointed to the silver on the table and said with a smile: "Jin girl, take the silver back. Your uncle Wang will accompany you to be a witness!"

Seeing Jinchu shaking his head to refuse, Huizhen's father directly signaled Huizhen to take the silver and put it back into Jinchu's hand.

"Just like you said, you and Huizhen are like sisters. As elders, it's only right for us to help out. Besides, this isn't a big deal. Would Uncle Wang, a legitimate witness, charge you for it? If he does, wouldn't that make Uncle Wang the one doing things for you in exchange for money? What kind of help would that be? If that's the case, you shouldn't even ask Uncle Wang to accompany you!"

After hearing what Huizhen's father said, Jinchu was speechless. If he continued to force her to give up the money, it would indeed seem too distant.

Thinking of this, Jin Chu quietly put away the silver, thinking that if he had the chance in the future he would repay the kindness.

After a pause, Jinchu continued, "Since you're asking Uncle and Aunt for help, I have to say a few more words. I've asked Brother Wang to help me rent a house in the capital. I'm sure the two elders have heard about it, right?"

Huizhen's parents nodded in agreement.

"As the saying goes, 'Don't have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against them.' Because of Aunt Sun's incident, Jin'er has to be more cautious. Regarding my current rental in the capital, please pretend you know nothing about it. Today, just accompany me as a witness. If Aunt Sun comes to ask you two elders about Jin'er's whereabouts in the future, you two can just say you don't know."

"Jin girl, don't worry about this. Your uncle Wang and I know Sun's temperament very well. If she comes to inquire about you, we will definitely not reveal your whereabouts."

When Hui Zhenniang said this, she looked at Jin Chu worriedly, a hint of hesitation on her face. "Our village isn't big, but it's not small either. If you move away so suddenly, they might not notice you for a while. But the city isn't far from our village after all. If time passes, you won't be able to hide it from Sun. If she really wants to find you, it will be difficult for her to find you unless you leave the city."

"Don't worry, Auntie. I don't ask to keep it a secret from her forever. I just hope she doesn't find out during this period. Once I've settled down in the capital and found a school for Zhao'er, I won't be afraid even if she comes to visit. I just hope she doesn't bother me during these busy days ahead."

"Girl Jin, just think about it yourself!"

Huizhen's mother looked at Jinchu with envy, then looked at Huizhen with disdain: "At such a young age, she acts so calmly and steadily. When will this girl of ours learn to be as good as you, Jin, then I, your aunt, won't have to worry so much!"

"Aunt, please don't say that. Huizhen is cheerful and generous. She has good parents and good brothers to support her. Naturally, she doesn't have to worry too much. She is born with a good life. Unlike me, I have no one to rely on and have to do everything by myself. Isn't that what makes me calm? If possible, I would like to trade with Huizhen!"

Hui Zhenniang was once again delighted by Jin Chu's secret praise.

She tapped Jinchu's forehead and smiled, "Jin girl, you have a really sweet mouth!"

Huizhen, standing by, also pouted and protested, "Mom, you praise Jin'er every day, why don't you just let Jin'er be your daughter-in-law!"

Huizhen's parents exchanged a silent look and scolded, "You silly girl, what are you talking about?"

Looking at Jinchu's faint smile, Huizhen Niang quickly added, "You keep talking nonsense all day long. Jin girl and your eldest brother have a clean relationship. Fortunately, what you said today happened in our house. If outsiders heard it, Jin girl would suffer a great loss! Jin girl is almost old enough and will have to find a husband in the future. If you dare to gossip like this again when you go out, I will sew your mouth shut!"

By the end of his speech, his expression had become stern.

Jinchu hurriedly smiled and tried to smooth things over: "This is our own family. Huizhen still knows her limits. She never talks nonsense when she goes out. Auntie, don't you know your own child well?"

Huizhen nodded repeatedly, hugged Jinchu and said softly, "Jin'er understands me the best. Unlike my mother, she dislikes me all day long!"

Jinchu smiled and turned to Huizhenniang and said, "Don't worry, auntie. Zhao'er is still young, and my family is in this situation. I won't be able to get married in the next two or three years, and I won't get married. As for those gossipers, let them say whatever they want. I just need to have a clear conscience and do my best."

"Hey, hey, hey, Auntie knows. But Jin'er, a girl's youth only lasts a few years. If you really meet a good boy who treats you well and is willing to accept Zhao'er, you must not give up, lest you miss your lifelong event!"

Huizhenniang advised with a meaningful tone.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, aunt." Jin Chu responded readily.
