On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

"what!"

Liu stood up from her chair in a flash and asked in disbelief, "The third child hasn't been to the academy for such a long time, but he still managed to get the top score!"

Mrs. Liu nodded, indicating that she had seen it with her own eyes in the teahouse!

Liu paced back and forth in the room anxiously. Knowing that the third son was smart was one thing, but now that she heard that he had really got the first place in the exam, Liu felt very upset!

No wonder Mingyuan locked himself in the room after coming back. This kid must be dissatisfied with his ranking this time!

No, she would never allow the third son to suppress her grandson!

She had to think about it, she had to think carefully, and come up with a perfect plan to suppress the third brother!

She suddenly let out a breath. This was only the first exam, and she couldn't lose her composure because of today's exam!

There are still four exams to go, she still has a chance!

She needs to weigh the pros and cons carefully, how can she prevent the third child from passing the county exam?

Even if he won first place in the first game, as long as he missed one game, he would not be the first place!

She is the eldest wife, she is the mistress of the family. In this family, the two illegitimate children are absolutely not allowed to suppress them!

But how to stop the third brother?

After the tonic soup incident, it was impossible for her to tamper with her food again!

It is obviously impossible to give medicine. Not to mention that these two people cook for themselves in their own yard every day, even the little guy has medical skills.

Such tricks would be futile in front of that little bitch. If you are not careful, you might get yourself implicated!

In order to prevent the third brother from taking the county exam without involving himself, this can only be done by finding someone who has a grudge against the third brother!

Liu suddenly had an idea!

Xiao Liu, who was standing aside, originally wanted to continue to flatter her mother-in-law, but when she saw her mother-in-law's face becoming increasingly ugly, she tactfully shut her mouth!

The more she said now, the more mistakes she would make. It would be best for her to just wait quietly for her mother-in-law's arrangements!

Liu, who already had an idea in mind, finally had time to take care of her daughter-in-law, "Okay, go back first, go and persuade Mingyuan, the road to the imperial examination is long, where is the end now?"

"You need him to have a good rest and not let it affect his mood for the exam. There are still four exams to go. As long as he performs well, who knows what will happen next!"

"Where's the uncle?"

Liu glared at Little Liu and said, "Why are you so anxious? I know what's going on!"

When Xiao Liu heard her mother-in-law say this, she realized that her mother-in-law had come up with a solution, so she went to find her son in a good mood!

At noon, Mr. Chen came back from outside with a tired face.

Liu poured a cup of tea for her husband and asked, "How is it going? Have you found any traces of the livestock?"

Mr. Chen took a sip of tea, shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid these livestock can't be found!"

So many days have passed and no clues have been found. Basically, the hope of recovering the livestock is very slim!

Old Master Chen didn't want to talk about these things that spoiled his mood. He put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "How did Yun You and Ming Yuan do in the exam?"

Liu told her husband their ranking today without any emotion. After hearing this, Mr. Chen's expression really looked much better!

After so many days, there was finally something that made him happy!

This is different from Liu’s decision not to let Chen Yunyou pass the exam!

Old Master Chen still really wants his son to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar. In this way, not only will their family have two scholars at once, but his status and position will also rise!

This is also the reason why Mr. Chen has never stopped Chen Yunyou from taking the imperial examination!

With his current status, he is just a small landlord with no power in Xixi Village. If you don’t see him going to the county government to ask the officials to help find livestock, he will be left alone for a long time!

If someone in his family passed the imperial examination and became an official, who in Nanyun County would dare to look down on him?

Looking at her husband's smug expression, Liu couldn't help but sneer in her heart!

She didn't continue the topic, but brought up another matter!

"It's been quite some time since the incident with this animal. I wonder if the county government has been able to find out anything?"

After hearing what his wife said, Mr. Chen's face turned cold. These officials who were just sitting in office and doing nothing were all bad people. They were happy to take the money but didn't want to do any work at all!

Liu looked at her husband's face and continued, "I think we should send someone to inquire. If it is really related to Ma Pozi, then we should recover the stolen goods. At least we have a direction!"

"If it has nothing to do with them, don't let those people beat them up. After all, these three people are our family's long-term workers. It's their fault that the livestock was lost. We can ask them to compensate for our losses!"

Old Master Chen said angrily: "There are only three of them, and they don't have a penny on them, what can they bring as companions!"

Liu said slowly: "There are ways to compensate if you have money, and there are ways to compensate if you don't have money!"

"Didn't they sign a ten-year contract with our family? They can just extend the term and use work as compensation. When they pay off the debt, they will release them. We can even save on monthly wages!"

After hearing this, Mr. Chen was very excited. After searching for these days, he actually knew in his heart that the possibility of finding the livestock was very slim!

If the thief cannot be found, it means that he will have to bear all the losses himself!

Now his wife reminded him that the only people who could compensate him for his losses were Ma Pozi's family!

Mrs. Ma may not be able to stay in the job for long, but her son and daughter-in-law are in their prime, so they can still do the job for another 20 years!

Seeing that her husband did not object, Liu continued, "If you agree, I will ask someone to find out. If they are not involved, we can go to the government office and get them back!"

"Don't hurt them, or they won't be able to make up for it with work!"

"Okay, let's do as you say!" Old Master Chen made the final decision!

At this moment, Chen Yi had no idea that the reason his wife brought up this matter was actually for other purposes!

On the other side, the young couple returned to their yard. Song Xile took the fish from her husband and said, "You go back to your room to study. I'll go and prepare the fish. How about we have fish soup at noon?"

Chen Yunyou never had any requirements regarding food, so he just nodded to show his agreement.

So the two of them got busy!

Song Xile prepared the fish skillfully, then heated oil in a pan, put the fish into the pan and fry until both sides were golden brown, then added ginger slices, and finally poured boiling water into the pan and simmered it slowly!

During this time, she kneaded some more dough and spread some dough pancakes in another pot. By the time the dough pancakes were ready, the whole kitchen was filled with the delicious aroma of fish soup!

Song Xile couldn't help but open the lid of the pot, and the milky white soup immediately came into view. Song Xile couldn't help but taste it with a small spoon!

Although there are few seasonings, the soup is so delicious!

Alas, what a pity, there is no tofu. Such delicious fish soup with tofu must be delicious!

I didn’t see anyone selling tofu during the two times I went to the county town. I wonder if the people of Nanyun County don’t know how to make tofu!

If no one really sells tofu, it would be a good money-making business in the future!

Song Xile was thinking in his heart!
