Farming with kids: My deceased husband returns and I spoil him rotten.
Chapter 438: Stay for Dinner
"Why don't you stay for dinner today? I'll have the housekeeper prepare some food."
After finishing his sentence, the magistrate turned to Luo Bin and said, "You probably don't have a place to stay right now. My residence is quite large, so you can stay here for the time being and leave when you find a place to stay."
Now that he has taken his revenge, he can no longer live as Li Chen.
Of course, we can't go back to that inn.
I don't have much money on me right now, so I can't exactly stay at Shang Qing's house.
Although Luo Bin was reluctant, he still nodded in agreement.
He clasped his hands in a fist salute and nodded, saying, "Then thank you very much, Magistrate."
Seeing Luo Bin agree, Shang Qing glanced at Li Chun without saying anything, but her expression was not very pleasant.
Although Wang Mingli has been arrested, it is still uncertain whether he has any accomplices. If Wang Mingli has accomplices, then Luo Bin staying here is nothing short of walking into a trap.
But now that she was in front of the county magistrate, she couldn't say much and could only remain silent.
The magistrate gave Li Chun a wink, and Li Chun understood, nodded, and withdrew.
The servants at the magistrate's office were quite efficient; the food was served in no time, and everyone sat down at the table.
The magistrate took a piece of silver directly from his pocket, placed it on the table, pushed it forward, and looked at Shang Qing with a smile.
"I said before that the reward for providing clues would be fifty coins, but you not only provided clues, you also helped catch the person, so you should naturally take the money."
Upon hearing this, Shang Qing glanced at the silver on the table, hesitated for a moment, and then took it.
After putting it away, he nodded to the magistrate and thanked him.
"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony. Thank you, Magistrate!"
The magistrate frowned slightly at Shang Qing's actions, his expression not very good, but it quickly disappeared.
For some reason, there was a commotion outside.
Several people turned to look at the door and saw the servants running over, looking at the magistrate with some panic.
“Magistrate, all the villagers from the surrounding area have come over, saying they want to see the hero who dealt with the prisoner.”
Upon hearing this, Shang Qing and Luo Bin exchanged a glance, then turned their gazes to the county magistrate.
Wow, they acted really fast. It hasn't been that long, and the news has already spread...
The magistrate's face was also full of joy. He turned his head to look at the two of them and was about to speak when Shang Qing's voice rang out.
"Magistrate, I am just a village woman, and I didn't help much with this matter; it just happened to be a coincidence. So, I won't go out, will I?"
After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at Luo Bin.
She felt she couldn't accept the opportunity to become famous; she'd rather leave it to Luo Bin.
Luo Bin nodded in agreement and continued, following Shang Qing's words, "This was originally the magistrate's achievement. We only helped a little. If the magistrate hadn't arrived with his men in time, we probably would have been killed as well."
The magistrate was initially somewhat dissatisfied, but his expression softened considerably upon hearing Luo Bin's words.
After a while, he nodded and said, "Alright, since you don't want to go out, then don't go out. Eat, eat, eat, don't be shy!"
……
After finally finishing their meal, Shang Qing bid farewell to the county magistrate, and Luo Bin followed along under the pretext of seeing him off.
Shang Qing turned to look at Luo Bin and asked, "Are you really going to stay here tonight?"
Luo Bin nodded, turned his head to look behind him, and said with a smile, "It's good. At least we don't have to worry about food and clothing here."
"However, I won't be staying for long; I'll be leaving soon."
It's good to have plenty of food and clothing, but this isn't your own home after all.
Upon hearing this, Shang Qing said no more and turned to leave.
Watching Shang Qing's figure disappear from sight, Luo Bin turned around and went back to the inn.
Arriving at the familiar street, the number of vendors outside hadn't decreased; on the contrary, it had become even more lively.
Looking at the scene, Shang Qing took a deep breath, his face full of relief.
[System notification: Danger!]
Suddenly, the system's voice rang out.
Shang Qing turned his head to look back, and as he did so, a carriage sped towards him, hitting him directly.
Shang Qing flew out and crashed into the shelf next to her.
A wave of dizziness washed over her, and Shang Qing almost fainted.
The people inside hurriedly came down, and the one next to Shang Qing had a face full of worry and fear.
"Are you alright? We didn't mean to. The carriage was startled and bumped into you. But don't worry, we'll cover all your medical expenses."
The little girl's fear didn't seem fake; it probably wasn't intentional.
But was it really not premeditated?
Shang Qing shook his head and stood up with the little girl's help.
Although it wasn't anything serious, there was still a long gash on his leg, and blood was flowing down Shang Qing's leg, staining his skirt red.
The broken shelf was still covered in blood.
Seeing this, the little girl became even more frightened and kept apologizing to Shang Qing.
Shang Qing glanced at her legs, took a deep breath, and looked helpless.
It's really one problem after another, they really don't give him any time to rest.
Shang Qing shook his head, looking at the little girl with a hint of helplessness.
"Alright, I'm standing right here, what are you afraid of?"
Shang Qing originally wanted to leave directly, but the little girl was scared and forcibly took Shang Qing to a nearby clinic. There was nothing Shang Qing could do but comply.
After all, her leg is really hurting right now.
After being bandaged up, the little girl asked Shang Qing where she was from, wanting to take her back.
But what's wrong with her?
If Pan'er saw this, I don't know how worried she would be.
Shang Qing glanced around, then fixed her gaze on the nearby inn. She turned to the young girl and said, "Don't take me home yet. My family will worry if they see me like this. Take me to the inn instead."
Hearing this, the little girl hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement.
Then he helped Shang Qing over, took her upstairs, and left after everything was taken care of.
Shang Qing looked at the doorway and sighed, her face full of helplessness.
More than anything, there was skepticism.
The accident just now was not something the little girl wanted, but was it really just an accident?
A moment later, there was a knock on the door, and the waiter came over with some food.
There was also a money bag on the tray.
The waiter walked to the table, put the items on it, and didn't forget to speak to Shang Qing.
"You're really lucky. That girl is from the capital and is going back today. This money pouch is what she left for you. With this, you won't have to worry about food and clothing for a year."
After saying that, the waiter raised his head, looked at Shang Qing with a smile, and said, "That young lady asked me to tell you that she apologizes and that you must accept this money."
Shang Qing glanced at the money bag on the table, took a deep breath, and looked somewhat helpless.
