Upon hearing this, Chief of Staff Zhao also believed what Jiang Xiyue said. After all, he had watched Jiang Xiyue grow up since she was a child, so of course he believed that she would not exaggerate. However, he also believed that even if the Lin family had magical means, they could not compete with the entire country.

Jiang Xiyue didn't care what Chief of Staff Zhao thought. She had said everything she should and shouldn't have said. As for what would happen in the future, it was none of her business. So she stood up and said, "Then it's settled. Our Lin family will give the higher-ups 20 body-refining pills every year. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After Jiang Xiyue left, Jiang Daya said seriously: "Old Zhao, don't take Xiyue's words lightly. I can only tell you that the Lin family is not worldly people. Don't let the mess you cause be hard to clean up."

Chief of Staff Zhao certainly values ​​the Lin family. If the magic weapon that can block bullets can be equipped in the army, the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Army will increase exponentially. Of course, he still has to think carefully about the acquisition of the magic weapon, so he said in a deep voice: "I will be cautious."

Courtyard No. 99.

Jiang Xiyue went to see Lin Ping as soon as she got home and told him what he had said, "Brother Lin, I have promised to give the country 20 body-refining pills every year. Body-refining pills are not precious to us anyway, so let's just spend it to buy some peace and quiet."

Lin Ping smiled and said, "Since you agreed, let's do it."

Ya Ru frowned and said, "I'm afraid they will be greedy and ask for a magic weapon after getting the body-refining pill. Will we give it to them or not?"

Lin Qingyan also frowned when she heard this. She also agreed with Yaru's words, so she said in a deep voice: "What Yaru said makes sense. At that time, whether we give it to us or not, we will be in a passive position."

Seeing his woman worried, Lin Ping smiled and said, "Don't worry, just show off your muscles when the time comes. As the saying goes, strength can defeat skill, and one punch can avoid a hundred punches."

When the girls heard this, they realized that it was true. Thinking about their own strengths, they immediately felt relaxed.

At this time, Lin Zhi's three little kids ran in hand in hand, crying, "Daddy, we want to play with Dabai."

Lin Ping knew that his daughters were talking about the white tiger of Lin Nuo, so he smiled and hugged his three daughters in his arms and said, "Okay, Dad will take you to find Dabai." After that, he went to the yard and entered the secret realm.

Ever since Tang Yanling married into the courtyard, Jia Zhang has noticed that Banggeng's eyes are not right when he looks at Tang Yanling. She is afraid that there will be trouble so she has to force Qin Huairu to find a wife for Banggeng. Qin Huairu is also anxious so she goes straight to Zhang's house after get off work.

Matchmaker Zhang was stunned when she saw Qin Huairu and asked, "Huairu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Qin Huairu asked with a smile: "Aunt Zhang, do you have any news about what I told you last time?"

Matchmaker Zhang slapped her forehead when she heard that and said, "You mean Banggeng's blind date? Let me tell you the truth, if Banggeng wants to find a good-looking girl for that job, he has to go to the countryside. I don't think the girls in the city are good enough for him."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Aunt Zhang, thank you for your concern. I will definitely give you a big red envelope when the time comes."

When matchmaker Zhang heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely catch you."

Time flies and it's Sunday again. Xu Huizhen invited Lin Ping to discuss investment, and of course Lin Nuo also came.

When the father and daughter arrived at the tavern, they saw Xu Huizhen talking to a beautiful girl. Lin Ping recognized her as Xu Jingli from the original drama at first glance.

Lin Nuo ran over with a smile and took Xu Jingli's hand and said, "Jingli, I'm here."

Xu Jingli was also very happy to see Lin Nuo, but when she saw Lin Pingping, her face couldn't help but blush, and she thought to herself what a handsome little brother.

Xu Jingli's expression naturally caught Lin Nuo's eyes, and his confidence in bringing Xu Jingli into the Lin family increased a little more.

Seeing Lin Ping coming in, Xu Huizhen stood up and said with a smile, "Pingzi is here. Let me introduce you. This is my daughter Jingli. She used to stick to you when she was little."

After saying that, he turned to look at his daughter and said, "This is your Uncle Lin, do you remember him?"

Xu Jingli was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect that the young man in front of her was actually Lin Nuo's father. However, she shook her head in confusion when she heard her mother's words and asked, "Mom, do I know Uncle Lin?"

Xu Huizhen laughed and said, "Of course I know him, but you were still young at that time and don't remember much."

Xu Jingli blushed and looked at Lin Ping and said, "Hello, Uncle Lin."

Lin Pingze smiled and said, "Jingli has grown up so much, I still remember what you looked like in open-crotch pants."

Xu Jingli's pretty face turned even redder when she heard that, and she lowered her head without saying anything. Seeing that her daughter was embarrassed, Xu Huizhen stopped teasing her and took Lin Ping to discuss the investment.

Lin Nuo rolled his eyes and pulled Xu Jingli, saying, "Jingli, let's go for a walk."

Xu Jingli nodded and said, "Okay."

The two girls came to the street, and Xu Jingli asked, "Nuonuo, is Uncle Lin really your father? Why does he look so young?"

Lin Nuo laughed when she heard this: "Hasn't your mother also taken the Beauty Pill? How can you still ask such a stupid question?"

Xu Jingli was puzzled and said, "But my mother is only a dozen years younger than you. She doesn't look like your father, like he is your brother or sister."

Lin Nuo explained: "The beauty pills are only effective for ten years. Once they reach that age, they will slowly age. Our family doesn't lack these, so my dad naturally looks young."

As they were talking, they came near the garden and Xu Jingli said, "Let's go sit inside."

Sitting down on the stone bench in the garden, Lin Nuo asked, "Jingli, do you have a boyfriend in college?" These questions must be asked clearly, otherwise it would be like breaking up the couple.

Xu Jingli blushed when she heard this and said, "My priority now is study. How can I fall in love?"

Lin Nuo smiled and said, "That's good."

Xu Jingli looked at Lin Nuo strangely, thinking, "Are you so curious about my boyfriend?" So he asked, "Nuonuo, what about you? Do you have a boyfriend?"

Lin Nuo curled his lips and said, "Tsk, I have high standards. If someone is not as good as my father, I won't look down on him."

Xu Jingli blushed when she thought of Lin Ping's appearance and said, "It will be hard for you to find a partner then. There are not many people who look like Uncle Lin."

Lin Nuo smiled and said, "So you like my dad?"

Xu Jingli thought Lin Nuo was joking, so she patted Lin Nuo and said angrily: "Just keep talking nonsense, but if your mother heard this, she would definitely skin you alive."

Lin Nuo couldn't help but shudder when he thought of his mother Lin Qingya. Seeing Lin Nuo's guilty look, Xu Jingli smiled and said, "Why are you scared now?"

Lin Nuo stiffened his neck and said, "Why should I be afraid? Although my mother is fierce, the mothers at home spoil me, and she can't do anything to me."

Xu Jingli was stunned when he heard this, and after a while he said, "What do you mean by mothers?"

Lin Nuo smiled and said, "Moms are of course moms, but I usually call them aunt or sister."

Xu Jingli understood a little bit what Lin Nuo said and asked in shock, "You mean Uncle Lin has many wives?"

Lin Nuo nodded and said, "Yes, my father is so outstanding, isn't it normal for him to marry more than one?"

Xu Jingli couldn't understand: "Then your father's wives don't fight?"

Lin Nuo asked stupidly: "Why do we have to fight?"

Seeing Lin Nuo's expression, Xu Jingli didn't know how to talk to her, so she thought about it and said, "What I mean is, aren't they jealous?"

Lin Nuo shook her head and said, "No, they get along very well."

Xu Jingli's worldview was a little overturned at this moment, and he stuttered: "Then is your family very rich?"

Lin Nuo thought about it and said, "They are quite rich, but my family had no money when they followed my father."

Looking at the thoughtful Xu Jingli, Lin Nuo whispered: "Why don't you marry my dad too, Jingli? I promise you won't regret it."

Xu Jingli rolled her eyes and said, "You are really a good daughter to your father, but I don't mean that."

Lin Nuo sighed and said, "That's because you two are not destined to be together. Forget it. Some things can't be forced."

Xu Jingli was feeling confused at this moment. She knew Lin Ping was her type at first sight, but she couldn't make up her mind to share a man with other women. She felt relieved when she heard Lin Nuo's words, but for some reason she always felt like she was going to lose something important. This feeling was so real that it made her feel flustered.

After a while, the two women returned to the tavern. At this time, Xu Huizhen had finished discussing the investment with Lin Ping, so Lin Ping took Lin Nuo away from the tavern.

Xu Jingli watched Lin Ping and Lin Nuo disappear before looking at Xu Huizhen and asking, "Mom, who is this Uncle Lin, and why does he have that magical elixir?"

Xu Huizhen looked at her daughter and sighed, "This is not the place to talk. We can talk about it when we get home tonight."

Soon it was closing time for the tavern. The mother and daughter returned to their own courtyard and had a simple meal. Xu Huizhen then said to Xu Jingli, "I don't know what kind of person Lin Ping is, but he is definitely not an ordinary person. If I hadn't had you, I would have pursued Lin Ping."

Xu Jingli exclaimed, "Mom, have you also liked Uncle Lin?"

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes at her daughter and said, "What's the big deal? Lin Ping is both capable and handsome. Don't you know that during the famine, he always found a way to get food? We didn't starve thanks to him. There's nothing wrong with me liking him. It's just a pity that I already had you at that time, so how could I be worthy of him?"

Xu Jingli remembered what Lin Nuo said about having many mothers at home, so she asked, "Uncle Lin wasn't married at that time, was he?"

Xu Huizhen sighed when she heard this: "How could a man like him not be married? Not only that, he also has many female confidantes. Even so, it is not something a woman like me with a child can dream of."

Suddenly Xu Huizhen came to her senses and asked, "What do you mean? Do you like Lin Ping too?"

Xu Jingli blushed when she heard this and said, "No, I don't like Uncle Lin."

Looking at her daughter who said one thing and meant another, Xu Huizhen sighed and said, "Jingli, I won't interfere with who you like, but I want to remind you that you need to know what kind of life you want. You can't make a decision on impulse, because that is a matter that will affect your whole life."
