In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

"Mother, since you won't tell me about those things, I want to ask you not to dwell on them. I'm not asking you to forget those who hurt my father, but to let go of yourself. Let's take care of ourselves first, and when we have the strength in the future, we can clear our father's grievances. That's the right thing to do."

"The living must take care of themselves first before they can seek justice for the dead! Mother, your distraught appearance makes your daughter very worried. I already lost my father, but I absolutely cannot be without a mother."

Su Zhizhi looked at Meng seriously and emphasized.

Meng was slightly stunned after hearing this, as if she was thinking about Su Zhizhi's words. No one had ever said such words to her.

After a while, Meng Shi seemed to have figured it out. Her eyes were very red and she looked at Su Zhizhi seriously. "Good child, you are right. Mother promises you that she will take good care of herself and stay with you forever."

Seeing that Meng had figured it out, Su Zhizhi was naturally very happy, "Okay, it's good that you can figure it out."

In this way, Meng's heart knot was temporarily untied.

Early the next morning, Meng got up in high spirits.

"Zhizhi, let me help you with logistics!" Meng took the initiative to speak when she saw Su Zhizhi busy.

"Okay." Su Zhizhi was delighted and nodded quickly.

In this way, the mother and daughter plunged into their busy work again.

The restaurant reopened, but there were basically no customers coming to the restaurant during this period. It was probably because County Magistrate Zhang wanted to curry favor with Chen Xudong, so he specifically asked the surrounding people not to come to Laiyue Tower.

Su Zhizhi seemed particularly calm about this. After all, their situation was very passive now, and they could only fight against the enemy with their own troops and block the water with earth.

She felt extremely bored staying in Laiyue Tower, and occasionally rummaged through her universal capsule, trying to find something to pass the time.

At this time, Su Yu came to Su Zhizhi with the wreath she had made, and then gently stood on tiptoe to put the wreath on Su Zhizhi's head.

Su Zhizhi felt it, so she cooperated with Su Yu without moving a muscle.

This scene happened to be seen by Xie Chengjin who came rushing over. The delicate flowers made Su Zhizhi look particularly bright and attractive, and Xie Chengjin's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Su Zhizhi happened to see Xie Chengjin at this moment and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

Xie Chengjin shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just checked on you. I suddenly remembered I had other things to do, so I'll leave first."

Xie Chengjin said very uncomfortably.

After saying this, he left in a hurry again.

Xie Chengjin's illogical words immediately caught Su Zhizhi's attention.

Su Zhizhi looked at Xie Chengjin's back and couldn't help but whisper, "What's going on? Why does it feel so weird?"

Su Yu, who was standing by, noticed Xie Chengjin's reaction. She then smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother-in-law must be shy because he sees how beautiful my sister is."

Su Yu couldn't help but teased.

Su Zhizhi rolled her eyes at Su Yu when she heard that. "You're so young, yet you know so much."

Su Yu stuck out her tongue at Su Zhizhi, made a face, and then disappeared in a flash.

At this time, in order to hide his discomfort, Xie Chengjin walked to the back door of the restaurant without anyone noticing. As soon as he went out, he saw a man sneaking around the window, as if trying to peek into the restaurant.

Xie Chengjin did not speak out immediately to alert the enemy. Instead, he followed quietly to see what the other party wanted to do.

The man quietly climbed in through the kitchen window, then went up the stairs to the second floor. After reaching the second floor, the man went straight to Meng's room.

It happened that Meng was embroidering beside the table in the room at this time. The man pushed the door open and ran towards Meng, trying to do something indecent to her.

"Mother, be careful!" Xie Chengjin reminded Meng loudly.

At this moment, Meng subconsciously turned around and saw a completely unfamiliar man rushing towards her. She was immediately terrified and stepped back repeatedly, "Ah!"

As Xie Chengjin spoke, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed the man's clothes fiercely. Soon Xie Chengjin subdued the man and pinned him to the ground in no time.

"Tell me! Who are you?" Xie Chengjin questioned the other party.

The man closed his eyes as if accepting his fate after hearing the voice, but he did not say a word about his identity.

"Okay, you don't want to say it, right? Then come with me to see the official." After saying that, Xie Chengjin prepared to drag the man to the county government office.

The huge noise here instantly attracted Su Zhizhi's attention. Su Zhizhi and Su Yu hurried upstairs to check the situation.

"What happened?" Su Zhizhi asked Xie Chengjin.

"A sneaky man came here and wanted to do something indecent to my mother, but I caught him before he could succeed. I'm going to send him to see the authorities." Xie Chengjin explained.

At this moment, the man who had always given up resistance suddenly took advantage of everyone's inattention and sprinkled a handful of white powder in his hand at Xie Chengjin, and then took the opportunity to turn around and leave.

At the same time, Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin felt that their eyes were blurry and they could not see anything clearly. By the time they reacted, the man had already run away and disappeared.

After seeing the man leave, Meng collapsed on the ground with a pale face, looking terrified.

After this incident, Mrs. Meng was so frightened that she fell ill and lay in bed in fear.

Seeing this, Su Zhizhi dragged Xie Chengjin along without hesitation to report the matter to the police. However, this time, the yamen runners were extremely cold towards Su Zhizhi. After the two of them reported the matter to the police, the yamen runners, who were usually very quick, also ignored the matter. Su Zhizhi saw this and still had something to understand? Nine out of ten times, it was Chen Xuli's fault.

night.

"Ah!" Meng, who was lying on the bed, suddenly sat up from the bed as if she had dreamed of something horrible.

"It's okay, it's okay, mother. Nothing happened. We are all here to protect you." Su Zhizhi knew at a glance that her mother was having a nightmare again, so she hurriedly hugged Meng and comforted her.

Meng Shi did not calm down because of Su Zhizhi's words. Instead, she gasped for a while, and then slowly calmed down.

"Okay." Meng nodded slowly.

When Su Zhizhi saw the cold sweat on Meng's forehead, she felt distressed. She could no longer bear living in such fear.

She had to do something to make County Magistrate Zhang hesitate, otherwise they would continue to live in dire straits under the current circumstances.

It was late at night and the sky had become completely dark. Everyone was fast asleep, but Su Zhizhi was not asleep. Instead, she walked out of Laiyue Tower alone, dressed in black.

After Su Zhizhi went out, she went straight to the county magistrate's mansion. It was a time when people were sleeping soundly, so Su Zhizhi sneaked into the county magistrate's mansion without any effort. Relying on her previous memory, Su Zhizhi successfully found the county magistrate's room and slipped in.
