Shen Lingzhu said, "Uncle, after Grandma comes back, we won't stay to see you off. We'll go back to the county town in advance to intercept Shen Man."

Huang Zongqi heard her tone was quite unfriendly: "Intercept? What do you want to do?"

"I just arrived at the county town before him." Shen Lingzhu said this innocently, but Huang Zongqi, who knew her temperament well, didn't believe her and said, "You little brat, you have to jump up and hit anyone you want. It's not appropriate to intercept him alone."

"Uncle, do you want to lend me some help?" Shen Lingzhu knew that this uncle had a bad temper with him.

Shen Miaozhu was quite surprised: "Uncle also agreed to take it back by force."

"Should we still reason with him? He was so confident about the bellows incident last time, and we can't...wait...

When I received the letter and ran over during the house search, I seemed to see Shen Man looking very panicked. He was walking behind Miao Sili. Huang Zongqi's mind was working quickly. He reined in the animal and pulled over.

He turned around and said to the big and small bamboos, "He must be more than the only one who took the seal stone. Miao... is very suspicious.

It is possible that he was the one who obstructed Xian Zhu from getting the road permit.

This old fellow said he didn't have a dowry list, and he stole several boxes from your aunt."

"Uncle is right." Shen Lingzhu had to admit that there were few fools in the world. "Who are you going to ask for help?"

“It’s best not to look for outsiders, this is a very shameful thing.

Shen Man is the most favored one in my third grandfather's family. If he makes trouble and his reputation is damaged, he will not be able to take the county exam and will become an enemy of my family.

Xiao Zhuzi and I can definitely do this." Shen Miaozhu took out a packet of medicine and said, "I think if we drink tea with Uncle Shi when we visit him, he won't be on guard."

"Well...why don't we go to the city gate and wait for him. If we see him leaving the city, we can intercept him halfway." Huang Zongqi was really worried about her two children doing this.

He did what he said: "Let's go, thanking people can be postponed until the afternoon. Anyway, the village captain will leave tomorrow.

There's plenty of time to go to the tea shop this afternoon."

As he spoke, he got out of the car and turned around. Shen Ling said, "What if he doesn't go back in the morning? Then we'll lose our appointment with Mr. Geng.

And when he left town, he was in a van, and we couldn't see which one it was."

"We'll come back if no one shows up by the end of the Si hour." Their uncle was determined to go, and the two of them were helpless. Anyway, there was nothing much to do in the city, so they might as well try their luck.

But Shen Lingzhu didn't expect that today would be such a huge coincidence.

As soon as my uncle drove his carriage to the vicinity of the South Gate, he saw Shen Man bargaining with a coachman from a distance.

"Great! Uncle, let's send Uncle Ten home." Shen Lingzhu's first reaction was to jump out of the car and go over, but she was stopped by a look from her senior sister.

"Okay!" Huang Zongqi was also very happy. He had originally reported it with little hope, and it was just an accident.

After a few honking sounds, the car stopped not far from Shen Man. He called out, "Brother Shen, are you just entering the city or heading home?"

"Uncle Ten." Shen Lingzhu got out of the car with her senior sister and saluted.

A flash of surprise and suspicion flashed across Shen Man's eyes, but he suppressed his faint guilt and asked, "Why are you in the capital? Are you going home?"

"Yes, what about you? Let's go home together." It's free, Shen Lingzhu invited warmly.

Shen Man hesitated for a moment, then instinctively said, "No, I still have to visit my classmates. I'll leave in a day or two."

"Sir, you just said you were going to Shun County." The driver next to him was a great help.

This time Shen Man reacted very quickly: "Yes, I will visit my classmates before going to Shun County.

I've rented your car." After that, he said to Shen Lingzhu and the other two, "Be careful on the road, I'm in a hurry and I'm leaving first.

"Please ask the driver to go to the government school." Before he finished speaking, he had already entered the carriage.

The driver received the business and changed the direction of the mule cart with satisfaction.

Shen Lingzhu looked at the car that hadn't gone far yet and asked, "Follow us?"

"You're clearly feeling guilty. Follow me." Huang Zongqi also changed direction.

Shen Miaozhu said, "Uncle, he should go around the city gate. Even if he doesn't return to Shun County, he will rest in Dashaodian for a night.

We'll wait for him at the fork in the road outside the city."

No matter whether you go out of the west gate or the south gate, there is only one way to get to Shun County, which is through Dashuangdian.

"Get in the car and exchange the basket of change for silver before going." If he had known that the two children could make trouble, he should have exchanged the last basket of copper coins for silver at the bank first, and then went to the clinic to find them.

However, Huang Zongqi was even more dissatisfied with Shen Man's attitude, leaving aside the matter of the seal stone.

As an elder, when you meet your younger generation far away from home, you will leave in a hurry.

"Can't I change it into silver notes?" Shen Lingzhu wanted to make it easier to put it.

Huang Zongqi: "If you take silver, you can use it anywhere. If you take silver notes, you have to go to the designated place of the bank to exchange them for silver, which costs more money."

Shen Miaozhu said: "Let's exchange it for silver. A little over a hundred taels is only about seven or eight pounds, which is not too heavy.

And we need to keep a few copper coins on hand.

Find another helper to pass a message to the customer, saying we are discussing business."

"I'll run quickly and tell my uncles and aunts." Shen Lingzhu would not do anything that would cost more money.

"There's no need for you. The bank is not far from the inn. It won't take much time to make a detour before leaving." Huang Zongqi was determined not to let her act alone.

"Xiao Zhuzi, there are many people in the city, so you have to follow the adults closely."

"Listen to my uncle." Many times, Shen Lingzhu would forget that he was a child.

However, waiting for someone outside the city, especially on the official road several miles away from the city, is a very boring thing. She is not like her senior sister who can read books with relish while sitting in the car.

She would rather have her uncle teach her boxing, but her uncle said it would not look good on the main road and asked her to sit still.

"Oh, this is the first time I'm so eager to see Uncle Ten." As Shen Lingzhu was sighing, a car loaded with many bellows passed by.

She jumped up and saw that the people driving and guarding the carriage were familiar faces. She waved her hands vigorously and called out, "Brother Chen, Brother Cao."

"It looks like Miss Shen." When the young man sitting on the other side of the cart turned to look at her, Brother Cao, who was guarding the cart from behind, had already ridden his donkey in front of Shen Lingzhu.

"Little Miss Shen, and Big Miss Shen, why are you here?

Is there something wrong with the car?" Without waiting for their answer, Brother Cao shouted to Chen Xiaoge in front to stop the car.

The latter sighed. He had actually seen Shen Lingzhu a long time ago, but he just didn't want to pay attention to her.

He had finally found a job in a car dealership, but because of the sudden appearance of their family, he was taken to the provincial capital for a few days. After he returned home, the car dealership no longer employed him.

Although catching the beggar was considered a good deed, he couldn't find a job that suited his taste, and his thoughts were confused.

Now, look what happens. Uncle Five has bought the Shen family’s blueprints and craftsmanship, leaving him with nothing but a pile of wood to work with.

Shen Lingzhu had no idea that he still had resentment towards her family, so she introduced Cao Er to her uncle.

Seeing the young man approaching, she waved her hand and smiled, "I didn't recognize you just now, but after washing up, you're still a young man full of heroic spirit."

"My grandfather once said that I was good-looking." Shao Zi, the little beggar, couldn't help but touch his face when she praised him.
