Chapter 48 It’s time to return the property

"It's true! I went to Xiaohe Village before on business, and happened to watch a big show. My uncle and aunt poured dirty water on their nephews and nieces one after another, and even invited Taoist priests to sink them into the pond. In addition, uncle

The aunt lived in a big courtyard, but the nephews and niece lived in a dilapidated old courtyard. After further inquiry, it was found that the big house was not the property of the uncle and aunt's family, but had been taken over when something happened to the big house.

I wonder what the old lady of the Su family thinks about such a hugely different treatment?"

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate and his wife looked at Shao and Su Miao in surprise.

Especially the county magistrate's wife, she looked at Su Miao again suspiciously.

It rained heavily that day and she was washed down the hillside by the water from the dam. It was this girl who pulled herself up from the water regardless of her own safety and took good care of herself.

That day, her eyebrows were lowered and she worked hard. In her eyes, she was a little more tenacious than ordinary women, which really made her look at her in a new light.

But today, for some reason, she was completely out of her element. She was also a guest, so why did she say bad words to others? It didn't make people happy?

If they are all from the Su family, it would make sense. Moreover, there is such an unpleasant story in it, which further proves that this girl is far from being as simple as she seems.

Seeing that the county magistrate's wife was prejudiced against her, Su Miao panicked and quickly stood up and explained in a panic,

"Madam, the young master just heard something and it doesn't mean anything. Besides, you don't know that Su Ying and the others went to the gambling house to gamble with their belongings and lost a lot. Now the family can't pay off the debt and wants to pay the debt.

They actually blocked the door of our house and wanted to sell me..."

Hearing this, the county magistrate's wife looked at Qi Mohan again.

Qi Mohan glanced at Su Miao, then turned to explain to the county magistrate's wife, "That's not the case. Their family was greedy for other people's dowry and didn't want to hand it over. They only issued an IOU, but the IOU fell into the hands of others.

, people come to ask for dowry, but they are greedy for dowry and refuse to give it, and put all the responsibilities on others. Besides, as far as I know, there is a person in the Su family who is a frequent visitor to the gambling house..."

The county magistrate and the county magistrate's wife believed Qi Mohan's words. From this point of view, these Su family members who usurped other people's property are simply too abominable.

Shao stopped being a quail at this time. She took a deep breath and explained, "Sir, madam, this is because I did not teach my son well. This Taoist priest deceived us and the people in the village.

We did some unkind things to these children, and something happened again a while ago. When the old woman saw it clearly, she persuaded them to return the property to these children, but they didn't expect them to listen..."

"Oh? There is such an unfilial son in the world who dares to disobey his mother. This is a serious crime of unfilial piety. He should be tortured for fifty times to warn the world!"

Qi Mohan immediately found a loophole in Shao's words, planning to scare the monkeys.

Shao was startled and said quickly, "I'll go back right away and ask them to return it. They drank too much last time. As long as you tell them nicely, they will do it!"

"That's it, I'll go take a look another day. Mrs. Su better keep her word!"

Qi Mohan has a cool and dignified temperament, and an attitude of saying what he says.

Shao glanced at the county magistrate and the county magistrate's wife, and found that they did not express any response to the young master's actions. It seemed that the person who made the decision in the entire county government was not the top county magistrate, but the young master.

She couldn't help but wonder, what was this young master's background? Could it be that he was just the eldest son of the county magistrate?

Without thinking about it, she turned around and asked the girl for a glass of wine and three more wine cups. She filled the wine herself and apologized to Su Ying, Su Juan, Su Mo and the others.

"In the past, it was me, an old woman, who acted in a biased manner, which made my three good grandchildren suffer. Now that I have found my way back, I hope that you will ignore the past grudges and accept me, this old woman, and our family. I will definitely not do so in the future.

I will make you suffer again."

They never expected the old lady to pour them wine to apologize, so Su Juan quickly stepped forward to take over.

It’s not that I need to forgive them, but with so many people around me watching, it’s hard for them to accept the offer. After all, no matter what the old lady does, she is also the elder of the family.

Su Ying and Su Mo also pretended to come forward to have a romantic relationship with her grandson. In fact, they knew in their hearts that this was just an act to show to others. With their vicious hearts soaked in decades of dust, they would never do it.

Because of one word, one thing, this grudge was resolved overnight.

Su Miao also responded via Shaw Brothers' suggestion, "I made mistakes in the past, and I hope we can reconcile as before in the future."

The grandparents and grandchildren "resolved" their old grudges in front of so many people, which made the county magistrate's wife feel very happy for a while.

She thought of something and said to Qi Mohan, "Didn't Miss Su just say that there was a debtor standing at her door? This matter..."

Qi Mohan understood, "Don't worry, mother, I'll leave this matter to my son."

The county magistrate's wife looked at Qi Mohan with satisfaction and nodded happily.

After finishing the meal, they originally wanted to go back, but the county magistrate’s wife could see that Qi Mohan had a good impression of Su Ying, so she persuaded them that she had booked a theater troupe to perform at the government office, and asked them to appreciate it.

.

Su Miao was so flattered that she thought the county magistrate's wife had specially prepared it for her. Only Shao could tell that the county magistrate's wife intended to bring Mr. Qi and Su Ying together.

She smiled coldly and said nothing.

Su Juan also saw that Mr. Qi was interested in Su Ying. The county magistrate and his wife were happy to see it happen, and she was secretly happy for her second sister.

Mr. Qi is an honest gentleman, and it is indeed good for him to protect his second sister.

However, Mr. Qi is a member of an official family. His status is somewhat noble, and his vision is certainly higher. There is no guarantee that he will not be tempted by other women in the future.

But looking at it now, he really had nothing to say to his second sister.

Su Ying was embarrassed twice and wanted to run away and go home, but she didn't expect the county magistrate's wife to bring them to watch the show.

It was naturally difficult for her to refuse such a kind offer, and besides, Su Miao, the old lady, and the county magistrate's wife were sitting in the front row.

Su Juan sat at the edge of the second row and pulled Su Mo to sit next to her. Su Ying had no choice but to sit next to Su Mo.

In order to make it easier for them to eat tea and snacks, there was a small table between them with tea on it.

Qi Mohan was not in a hurry to work, so he pulled up a chair and sat next to Su Ying. Qi Yichen seemed to be looking forward to some sparks between Qi Mohan and Su Ying, sitting aside and cracking melon seeds and watching the drama.

Watching Qi Yichen eating melon seeds, Qi Mohan also thought of something and sent someone to get what he had brought.

After a while, the servants placed some snacks on the table next to them.

Su Ying took one look and was immediately shocked. Isn't this a macadamia nut or a nut? This thing actually existed in ancient times?

She likes to eat this kind of fruit the most in modern times, but she can't eat more because of illness and poor digestion.

In addition to a plate of fruits on other people's tables, there was also a pair of small pliers for easy peeling, but they didn't know whether it was because they were afraid of being seen as foodies or something else, but they just held back and refused to eat.

Su Ying was a little greedy and wanted to grab two to eat, but there were no tongs placed on the table between her and Qi Mohan.
