92 Lord Magistrate, Your Money Is Lost!

Wen Lou looked ahead, seeming to be admiring the scenery in the countryside, feeling very comfortable.

"How did you offend Mr. Zhou?" he asked suddenly.

Tangchi was stunned for a moment, then looked up at his profile and said, "He wants me to sell the mushrooms to him, but I won't."

Wen Lou nodded and stopped talking.

Tangchi followed him for a few steps, but couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Sir, why are you going to my house?"

Wen Lou suddenly stopped, looked at Tangchi with a faint smile and said, "I see you bought some good food today, why? Don't you invite me to try it?"

"..." It's actually for eating.

"Why don't you keep up?"

When Tang Chi came to her senses, Wen Lou was already walking in front, and she hurriedly followed.

Along the way, Wenlou didn't feel tired, he just admired the vibrant midsummer scenery in the suburbs, while Tangchi looked left and right with fear.

If someone sees it... He is not afraid of Wen Lou, but she is!

Wen Lou occasionally glanced at Tangchi looking left and right with his peripheral vision, and the smile on his lips deepened.

Tang Chi took Wen Lou back to the west of the village on a small road, but nothing happened along the way.

After arriving home, Tangchi took out the key and opened the door, and a fluffy white ball rushed up. Tangchi almost didn't notice it and stepped on it.

Every time she came back to the house, she could see rabbits, which made the house feel more like home.

Tangchi felt soft in her heart. She looked down at the rabbit rubbing against her feet and said, "Something happened today and I came back late."

As she spoke, she bent down and hugged the rabbit.

"Spoon, you rabbit is quite smart." Wen Lou took a step forward and said with a smile.

The rabbit looked at Wenlou with a pair of red eyes, and then escaped from Tangchi's hand with a whoosh and ran into the vegetable garden.

"It seems like you rabbit still doesn't like me very much." Wen Lou said with a smile.

Tang Chi also felt strange. Wen Lou came here more than once or twice, and Rabbit felt awkward every time he saw Wen Lou.

"They say every master must have his favor, Spoon, don't you welcome me too?"

"How could it be possible?" Tang Chi turned around and said with a smile, "Master magistrate, you are willing to come to my place again and again, which really makes my family shine! Come and sit in the house!" As he said that, Tang Chi looked at it.

A glimpse of the rabbit hiding under the leaves in the vegetable garden led Wen Lou into the house.

Since he had been busy at the county government office for so long, it was already past noon. He was hungry and worried that Wenlou would be hungry, so Tangchi hurriedly went to cook.

Pork ribs soup, roasted pork with mushrooms, and mixed cucumbers.

After three dishes, Wenlou left after eating and drinking.

When leaving, Wen Lou left a silver coin on the table.

"Master Magistrate, your money has been lost!" Tangchi took the silver and chased him into the yard.

Wen Lou turned around and said with a smile: "All the money you earned today went into Mr. Zhou's pocket. As a parent official of the people, how can I have the nerve to eat and drink for free?"

"..." This is not the first time that you eat and drink for free.

Tang Chi was surprised by Wen Lou's keenness and saw all her movements.

"Since the county magistrate has said so, then Tangchi will accept it." Don't waste the money you get from being an official!

Wen Lou nodded and left with Wu Shan.

After Wenlou and the others left, Tangchi went to the vegetable field and picked out the rabbit squatting under the vegetable leaves.

At first, the rabbit was still very reluctant and kept flapping its four legs.

Looking at the red patch on its hind legs, Tangchi didn't dare to exert any force, so he could only say helplessly: "Good rabbit...you don't like Wenlou, the county magistrate? You know Wenlou is the biggest official here, I don't dare to offend him."

Is he?"

Nowadays, rabbits are bullying her Tangchi.

Tangchi spoke to the rabbit for a long time before the rabbit calmed down and was held by her.

In the afternoon, Tang Chi went to look at the land given to her by Yuan Li.

The land was right next to Tangchi's house, not far away. However, the land had been idle for a long time and was overgrown with weeds. If she had to work on it alone, it would probably take a long time.

Tangchi thought about it and thought that she could hire some people in the village to help, but her relationship with the people in the village was really not good. After thinking about it, she decided to discuss it with Widow Zhang.

On a free afternoon, Tangchi called Widow Zhang over and told her his thoughts.

"What? That piece of land next to your house belongs to you?" Widow Zhang was a little surprised when she heard that there was such a large piece of land in Tangchi.

Tangchi touched the rabbit and nodded. "My mushrooms are selling well now."

Widow Zhang nodded and looked at the soup pool again.

Tangchi felt uncomfortable being looked at by Widow Zhang, so she touched the rabbit and called, "Sister Zhang?"

Widow Zhang didn't ask any more questions, she just thought about it and then told Tang Chi what she thought.

In the village, although Aunt Xia and Aunt Li's family have a bad relationship with Tangchi, there are some good villagers.

"We can ask some women to help? They are idle anyway," Tangchi said.

Widow Zhang nodded.

Tang Chi continued: "Then you can pay according to the time on the day, and you can pay as much as you work for the number of hours in a day."

"What a great idea!" Widow Zhang and Tang Chi became more and more excited as they discussed.

"It's just... someone has to be in charge of this all the time." Widow Zhang said.

Tang Chi looked at Widow Zhang with a smile and said, "Sister Zhang, I need your help with this."

Widow Zhang declined.

Tangchi said: "I still have to sell mushrooms and collect mushrooms. How can I have so much time? No one in this village can help me except you."

Finally Widow Zhang agreed.

Widow Zhang was very efficient in her work. Within a few days, she summoned four or five women to start weeding and plowing the ground.

In addition to going to the city every day, Tangchi would also go to the fields to help when he came back, and he got along pretty well with those women.

The villagers don’t hate Tangchi as much as before.

Gradually, the news about Tangchi's recruitment spread in the village. Many women were idle at home, and Tangchi paid a lot of money, so many people rushed to come.

Tangchi asked Widow Zhang to take care of the situation and kept some women with better character.

As before, she had to go into the mountains to step on mushrooms several times. Since there were more people in the west of the village, Tangchi had to be more careful every time she went to the mountains to pick mushrooms.

Call her selfish, but she relies on these mushrooms to make money. If everyone steps on them, then she will have no choice but to drink from the northwest wind.

There were more people in the west of the village, and Tangchi was also worried that the rabbit would be discovered, so he always locked the door and let Widow Zhang watch. Fortunately, the rabbit was very obedient and did not run around and let anyone find it.

Tangchi's life has improved, and it can still hire people to work. Naturally, some people in the village will look at it with jealousy.

Seven or eight days have passed and everything has been fine.
