After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Ling Ce murmured: "Is it just because of the child that I have a child? Aren't you afraid that the Ling family's property will fall on Rourou's child?"

Shui Qing had previously thought that Ling Ce was not necessarily responsible for Ling Ran's mother's death, but now she changed her mind.

Even if Ling Ce doesn't do anything, this idea can still make people angry to death!

"Isn't it a sure thing that the Ling family's property belongs to her child, the legitimate son you married with three matchmakers and six betrothals? Why is she still afraid that it will fall on other people's children?

If she is afraid, who is causing this fear? Should you reflect on yourself? "

Ling Ce raised his eyes in confusion, his eyes fell on the handwriting on the long table by the window, and he was lost in thought for a while.

Shuiqing didn't interrupt.

Although Ling Ran may not necessarily like the Ling family's property, nor does she necessarily want to fight for it, she must let Ling Ce understand that it belongs to Ling Ran!

Whether Ling Ran wants it or not, or whether Ling Ran's own mother wants it, is not their fault. Whether they want it or not, it should belong to them by rights!

Ling Ce slowly looked at Shui Qing, and his whole body changed from being desperate at first to being in a state of despair: "I originally thought that Ling Ran came back early and hid, so I wanted to ask you to persuade him to let him come back home with me;

I thought that Ling Ran would definitely like my second-grade official position, the Ling family's family background and wealth, and whether it was for his own good or out of practical considerations, you would agree to my persuasion to come out and come back with me.

But after you said this to me, I realized that I was wrong, how wrong it was!

What I see and think is completely different from yours, so my guess is not correct either. "

Hu Shuiqing and Ran'er had the same idea, and she would naturally agree with Ran'er to find his grandfather. They didn't value the Ling family, and they didn't care about him as their biological father, so they wouldn't hide away just to negotiate terms with him.

He came here personally to give his son a chance to step down. Now he is finally sure that his son did not give him a chance to give him face, but actually went to the north to find his maternal grandfather's family...

The water is clear and mute.

He said before that Ling Ran went to the north, but Ling Ce didn't believe it. When he asked her for something, he was polite on the surface.

After working together for a long time, Ling Ce didn't notice that Ling Ran thought they were playing tricks? What about retreating in order to advance?

Oops, this is too confident, does he think everyone is surrounding him?

Ling Ce thought of what Shui Qing said before, that she did not keep the house, but gave a lot of things, and agreed: "You are right, giving gold, silver, food and things is the most practical thing. Everything in the Ling family belongs to Ling Ran."

He is the eldest son and belongs to him.

If the water is clear and not noble enough to be considered rare, who can have trouble with money?

If Ling Ran doesn't want it, isn't it the child born to Ling Ce and that Qingmei?

And Ling Ran may not fight, but he will not push out what belongs to him.

Ling Ce took one last look around the house where Ling Ran lived.

It's very spacious and bright. It only has a bed, a long table and chairs, and a wardrobe. It couldn't be simpler, but the bedding on the bed is fluffy and soft, the fabric is fine and comfortable, and the paper, inkstone, pen and ink on the long table are all available. It can be seen that Treated with care by the owner.

Putting away his previous despair, he straightened his back and returned to the distant, indifferent and aloof look he had when he first arrived. Before leaving, he said: "I will keep your kindness to Ran'er in my heart and I will repay you."

Shui Qing's heart skipped a beat.

The way Ling Ce's grandfather repaid the favor of saving his life was to marry Ling Ce and his benefactor's daughter. As a result, he didn't treat his benefactor's daughter well. She instinctively refused Ling Ce's offer of repayment!

"No, no, no! Ling Ran has been working since he came here. I didn't raise him in vain. He has worked hard enough!"

If there is no kindness, you don’t have to repay it! It's good to just forget it.

By the way, if we talk about repayment, you came here in person today, arrested Magistrate Wu, and helped us solve the danger and dilemma. This is the best repayment. "

Ling Ce shook his head: "That's because I came here because of Ran'er, it doesn't count."

Shui Qing shook his head in joy, with unprecedented sincerity and firmness: "Forget it! Why not count it? That's repayment!"

Ling Ce looked at Shui Qing, who was determined not to repay, took a deep breath, turned around and left without saying a word.

He knew what she meant.

Unexpectedly, he would be despised by others in his lifetime...

·

At the entrance of the village, Magistrate Wu and his party were tied tightly and jumped up one by one with hemp ropes, waiting for Ling Ce to come back.

The carriages, horses, donkeys and odds and ends brought by Magistrate Wu were neatly collected on both sides of the dirt road.

Farmers who work in the fields naturally love livestock. They are afraid that they will starve, so they take out a lot of the fodder they store to feed them.

This time was different from last time. No one in the village was injured, and no livestock or money was lost. Together with the men returning from the trip, the entire Shanshui Village was filled with an atmosphere of joy.

Everyone came out, some scolded Wu County Magistrate and his entourage for being vicious, some were busy collecting firewood and potatoes in the open space, and more children gathered around the outgoing man to ask about what they had encountered along the way, and The men who went out were concerned and asked why there were no casualties this time.

I heard that Shui Qing was the commander. Not only were there no casualties, but they also had enough to eat, drink, and sleep. Even the pigs, sheep, rabbits and other livestock on the back mountain were all taken care of, and nothing happened!

The admiration in the men's eyes almost overflowed.

I saw Governor Ling, Shui Qing and his entourage approaching.

Governor Ling scanned the current situation with sharp eyes and ordered his subordinates: "The villagers of Shanshui Village have been frightened again and again in the past few days. The last night attack caused them heavy casualties. They were taken away for trial, and the property was kept as compensation to Shanshui Village."

After saying that, he turned around and said politely to the woman behind him: "Hu Shuiqing, could you please distribute it? It is up to you to decide how to distribute it. Those who have objections do not need to distribute it."

Shui Qing: .....Does this reveal the correct way to repay gratitude?

Villager of Shanshui Village: ...compensation?

They were extremely grateful that Ling Ran's father came in person, especially when they learned that he was a very important official. They couldn't believe it.

I just thought it was great that Governor Ling was willing to arrest County Magistrate Wu and his party, but I never thought there would be compensation!

Besides, Magistrate Wu brought a lot of people. Although the temporarily assembled refugee bandits all walked, there were still dozens of government servants and servants inside, plus the carriage he was riding in. God, they counted all those animals. Don't come!

As soon as Ling Ce finished speaking, a strong man stepped forward, presented a heavy cloth bag to Shuiqing, and reported back: "This is the silver found from Magistrate Wu and his party."

Shui Qing is true, I didn’t expect to gain anything!

The last night attack resulted in heavy casualties, so this time we were able to make up for them all at once.

The Shanshui Villagers present opened their mouths so wide that they could almost stuff an egg in, and forgot to react.

So many animals were good enough as compensation, and there was even a bag of silver!
