Xu Ning came to the main room carrying a bamboo basket with food. She happened to hear her father's emotion and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Dad, why did you say that suddenly? Did you meet any interesting people and people on the other side of the river embankment?" thing?"

Butcher Xu handed the two coins to his daughter: "Yeah, you remember I told you about that little homeless family who dressed up as men before, right? They borrowed a wheelbarrow from me. Well, these two coins are for me. Car rental fee.”

Xu Ning smiled and commented: "This family is very sensible. Fubao, come here, let me hug you. Let your grandpa eat."

Xiao Fubao was a little unhappy, pointing to the braised pork in the bowl and said: "Grandpa, Rourou."

Her grandpa leaves early and comes back late. He comes home covered with stars and moonlight. She misses her grandpa and wants to spend more time with him.

Xu Ning has never been spoiled by a fat girl. Her husband-in-law and father both cherish Fu Bao as if they were the apple of their eye. It is difficult for them to pretend to be red-faced and achieve success. She, the mother-in-law, must play red-faced and teach them ruthlessly. .

"Xu Fubao!"

Little Fubao pursed her lips and wanted to cry. When A Niang called her with three tones, she was angry.

Every time she disobeys me, she will be scolded.

If she keeps crying, what awaits her is Aniang’s slap in the face.

Butcher Xu wanted to plead with Xu Ning, but when he met Xu Ning's cold and ruthless eyes, he took the initiative to send Little Fubao into Xu Ning's arms: "Little Fubao, I have been busy for a day and I am starving. I will hug you when I am full. How about I let you ride a big horse and throw it high?"

Little Fubao turned her tears into a smile, sat in Xu Ning's arms, pointed at the bowl of braised pork and said, "Eat it, Rourou!"

Her grandpa specially selected a piece of soft, fat and thin meat, and watched with a smile as the little guy took the meat away in one gulp, his mouth bulging, and he said with a smile: "Oh, little Fu Bao eats so deliciously, this Did your father stew the braised pork?"

Xiao Fubao nodded repeatedly.

Xu Ning smiled and said: "My husband said that he has been busy for so many days and wants to hide at home and take some time off."

Butcher Xu didn't believe that Huo Yunzhao would really be so free: "Chao'er said before that he would get me enough money and food. Why would he stay at home? Will money and food fall from the sky?"

"do not know."

Xu Ning was busy just taking care of her daughter and other things at home and abroad. She really didn't have the extra energy to get involved in building river embankments.

"Let me tell you, Chao'er must have caused a lot of trouble for Lord Wang. He stayed at home just to avoid being held accountable by Lord Wang."

Before Butcher Xu finished speaking, Huo Yunchao applauded and said, "As expected of me, Father Xu, Jiang is still very spicy!"

Butcher Xu didn't ask further questions, but just took a big mouthful of food into his mouth, determined to hear Huo Yunchao "expose his shortcomings."

As expected, Huo Yunchao was someone who couldn't hold back the slightest thing in front of people he trusted. He told Mr. Wang what trouble he had caused, and at the end he said triumphantly: "Hey, in less than three days, Wang The adults have to come to our house and invite me out!"

Butcher Xu was minding his own meal and didn't give Huo Yunchao the response he wanted.

Huo Yunchao touched his nose: "Dad Xu, why are you so cold in your reaction? I have done such a big thing!"

"Before the matter is done, you first caused trouble for Mr. Wang. You are so real that you are not afraid of Mr. Wang whipping you!"

Butcher Xu glanced at Little Fubao and said, "For Little Fubao's sake, if Mr. Wang beats you, I won't just watch you get beaten. I will carry Little Fubao outside."

"Dad Xu!"

Huo Yunchao let out a strange cry and pounced on Xu Ning without thinking. He never thought that his daughter's hands, with her mouth full of oil, would block his chance to eat the beauty's tofu.

When Butcher Xu saw Huo Yunchao's defeat, he immediately left a free hand, gave a thumbs up to Little Fubao and praised: "You are indeed a little Fubao! Well done!"

Xiao Fubao received his grandpa's recognition and encouragement, and pushed Huo Yunchao away harder and harder: "Dad, let's go!"

Listening to the fat girl's milky voice and sweet words, Huo Yunchao said amusedly but helplessly: "Little Fu Bao! I'm your biological father!"

Butcher Xu no longer got involved in the confrontation between Huo Yunchao and Xiao Fubao. He ate seriously, eating every grain and drinking up the soup.

After eating and drinking, Butcher Xu held Xiao Fubao in his arms and told Huo Yunchao about the new changes in the construction site today. He asked Huo Yunchao how to deal with things he couldn't understand.

Huo Yunchao is really not good at managing people, but from the perspective of a bystander, he can analyze things from multiple aspects and slowly guide Butcher Xu to think deeply and find a solution together.

Half an hour later, Butcher Xu's doubts were answered. The little Fu Bao in his arms was already drowsy and his little head was nodding.

Huo Yunchao carried the fat girl over and was about to take her back to the house to sleep. He heard Butcher Xu behind him asking: "Chao'er, can we really supply money and food? What if we really can't?"

Huo Yunchao gave him reassurance: "Dad Xu, this kind of thing will not happen. I have already thought of a solution. When the time comes, there will be many wealthy businessmen and big landowners vying to send money and food. This is why I Why should I hide from Mr. Wang? I can’t steal his limelight.”

Butcher Xu was dubious. In his heart, of course, he was more willing to believe that Huo Yunchao had a way to solve the problem of insufficient money and food instead of fooling him with empty words.

Huo Yunchao was really not just talking nonsense. He really had a way to get wealthy businessmen and landowners to rush to send money and food. If he wanted to accomplish this big thing, County Magistrate Wang must make great efforts.

At this moment, County Magistrate Wang was "working overtime" in the restaurant in order to complete the tasks assigned to him by Huo Yunchao. The people sitting at the table with him were all prominent figures, the kind of wealthy businessmen who could be ranked in the entire state. The big landowners are real local forces.

Magistrate Wang specifically "invited" these big shots to the restaurant. It wasn't that he didn't want to create a scene, but it was because his foundation was weak and he couldn't entertain guests in the backyard of the county government office, right?

Although there were no female relatives in the backyard of the county government, Magistrate Wang was prepared to ask these big shots to spend real money and food, so he had to give them some food.

After three rounds of drinking, Magistrate Wang explained in public the purpose of holding this party: "How much effort do you plan to contribute to building the river embankment?"

The four wealthy businessmen of the Wang family, the Li family, the Chen family and the Huang family looked at each other. They had long been psychologically prepared to have their skin scratched by Magistrate Wang. They were on tenterhooks from the moment they entered the box, fearing that Magistrate Wang would ask them to donate money. A thousand taels of "filial piety money".

As a result, Magistrate Wang was not like the corrupt official before Magistrate Chen. He chatted miscellaneously with them about household matters, sweet potato cultivation, harvests, and tenant farmers, but never asked them to offer filial piety money.

After suffering for so long, Magistrate Wang stopped beating around the bush and asked them bluntly for money and food. On the contrary, the leaders of these four families breathed a sigh of relief.

We are not afraid of corrupt officials asking for filial piety, but we are afraid of corrupt officials being insatiable and greedy!
