My sister became the empress, but I'm still growing vegetables and raising chickens
Chapter 168: Eliminating the Cancer
Feng Zizhou came out with a frown on his face and muttered to Xiao An, "You don't even have a wet nurse at home. Everyone's busy on weekdays, so who washes the child's bottom?"
"Whoever has time can wash it. It's not so bad now. My second sister was in confinement before, and my eldest sister asked us to take turns taking care of the baby at night so that she could have a good rest. We had to get up every hour to feed the baby goat milk and change the diaper."
Feng Zizhou's eyes widened: "Did your uncle and you also take it?"
The younger brother said as a matter of course: "Of course, Xiaoxia is a member of our family, and everyone has the responsibility to take care of her. Xiaoxia, come to your uncle to hold you, Xiaoxia loves your uncle the most. Cousin, Xiaoxia smells so good, come and smell it!"
Feng Zizhou quickly covered his nose and dodged.
The younger brother didn't understand: "You said Xiaoxia was cute before."
"That was before..." Feng Zizhou muttered, "Do you know what that old lady Zhu from your family said? She actually said that the baby's stinky smell is not smelly, but the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance... Oh my God, I will never eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake again!"
The younger brother laughed out loud, hugged Xiaoxia and kissed her face. Xiaoxia was so happy that her saliva flowed all over his face.
Feng Zizhou just felt it was too shameful to watch.
Just then, I heard my little sister shouting, "Little brother, where have you been? Come and help me!"
"Here I come!" The younger brother stuffed Xiaoxiaer into Feng Zizhou's arms, turned around and ran away.
Feng Zizhou hugged Xiaoxiaer and felt like crying but had no tears. Their two pairs of eyes met. Xiaoxiaer grinned and Feng Zizhou's frown slowly relaxed.
While having dinner in the evening, my younger sister told me what she had heard.
"Boss An was worried about us, but he heard that the Qian family had contacted the Jin family. The Jin family was too powerful, so Boss An couldn't do anything about it. But Boss An knew about Lord Luo. He was originally the lieutenant of Fenghuang County and was very capable. He was transferred to Lingnan City nine years ago and is now the magistrate."
Si Muyan nodded: "The rank of Tongpan is not small. As long as he is willing to help, we will be fine this time."
The second sister asked, "But didn't Dianshi Cao say today that it was all a misunderstanding? This means that Dianshi Cao won't make any more trouble. Is there any need for us to go to the Tongpan Lord?"
"Yes." Si Muyan said, "Cao Dianshi saw that my cousin's identity was not ordinary, and after all, this matter had little to do with him, so he was unwilling to cause trouble. But Boss Qian is different. He didn't hit us this time, but I'm afraid it won't be so easy next time."
The younger sister followed up, "Yes, I think so too. We can't just sit there and wait for death."
"Instead of waiting for others to bully us, it's better to strike first." Si Muyan's eyes turned cold. "We don't cause trouble, but we are not soft persimmons. We let others bully us without fighting back. Now that we have found a relationship with the magistrate, why not use it?"
"But..." Second Sister frowned, "Firstly, that Tongpan may not be willing to help us. Secondly, we are businessmen now, why do we need to get involved with officials?"
Si Muyan knew her second sister's personality. She was very strict. In her opinion, everything in the world was either black or white.
"I'm getting involved for self-protection. Second sister, go ask around. Who among those who do well in business doesn't have some officials on their payroll? Even our Si family's restaurant, during the New Year, I sent New Year's gifts to the city supervisors. Do you think I did it for no reason?"
The second sister didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Si Muyan didn't bother to argue with her, but continued to discuss with her younger sister: "I want to let Second Brother Zhu go over, but the shop has to reopen tomorrow. I'm relieved that you're here at the food shop. Second Aunt Zhu is alone at the porridge shop, and if anything happens, she might not be able to handle it... If I let He Song go, I'm afraid he won't be able to do the job well."
The younger sister said, "If it really doesn't work, let Laiqian go with his father. You'll be able to trust Laiqian to do things, right?"
After all, this concerns the safety of the entire family, so the younger sister was still a little hesitant and said, "It turns out that what the eldest sister said is right. In everything, we can't just develop ourselves, we also need to develop some useful people. At this time, there are only two people who can share our worries. It's really difficult."
Upon hearing this, Feng Zizhou patted his chest and said, "What are you afraid of? I can go, right? I'm still your cousin. I'll go and talk to him properly. If Magistrate Luo Tong doesn't listen, I'll introduce myself and scare him to death."
The younger sister glared at him and said, "Hurry up and tell us your family name so that the Feng family can find you and take you back soon, so that you don't have to suffer here with us."
Feng Zizhou stuck out his tongue, and immediately stood up after finishing his meal to hug Xiaoxia. Now he didn't mind Xiaoxia's smell at all, nor did he mind her drooling.
After much thought, it is more appropriate to let Feng Zizhou go. He has seen the world and is not afraid of meeting people. He speaks very logically. Moreover, his status is there. If things really don't work out, he can indeed use his status to pressure others.
Feng Zizhou went there, and within two days, the judge Luo came to Fenghuang County in person to investigate the case of the Sijia Food Store being wrongly accused. He reprimanded everyone in the county government and found out that Cao Dianshi had accepted bribes and committed fraud in the trial.
Cao Dianshi and several of his subordinates were all dismissed and investigated. Boss Qian was even found to have abused his power, abducted women, and committed many other crimes. He was immediately imprisoned and his house was searched.
When the younger sister heard the news, she jumped for joy and said, "Big sister, this is really great! It's so satisfying to see evil people get their comeuppance! Did you see so many people cheering at the county government office gate?"
Indeed, many people cheered and many shed tears.
"Thank you, Mr. Tongpan, for clearing my family's name!"
"The magistrate is our former county lieutenant. He came back to support us."
"Thank you, Your Excellency!"
Seeing this scene, the second sister couldn't help but sigh: "It shows how hateful this Cao Dianshi is in his daily life. He has done so many bad things. Now that he has been punished, the people will be happy. The cancer of Fenghuang County can be said to have been eliminated."
Seeing Si Muyan's indifferent eyes, Feng Zizhou couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sister Yan, don't you agree with Sister Tong's words?"
"It's not that I disagree, I just think it's not that simple," Si Muyan said. "They say officials protect each other, and it seems to be true. The Dianshi isn't an all-powerful official. How could it be that after discovering so many of his evil deeds, the officials above him were completely unaware of anything?"
Feng Zizhou's eyes flashed with approval. "You're right. Unfortunately, the higher-ups have their own arrangements. I've met Luo Tongpan before, and he's a pretty good official. But the only people he can influence are the Dianshi, the county magistrate, and the county magistrate. He can't influence anyone else, so this is the only way to deal with him."
