In the county office, Wu Bai, as usual, sits aside and occasionally grinds for Xiao Zimo, watching Xiao Zimo deal with things, and at the same time learning how to deal with these things, so that if he encounters such things in the future, he doesn’t have to worry about them. flustered.

At this time, a yamen servant came in and said that someone was looking for Wu Bai outside.

"Looking for me? Who is it?" Wu Bai asked.

"It's a family of four, they said they are your relatives." The yamen servant replied honestly.

After saying this, Wu Bai knew who it was. He waved his hand and said, "I don't know them, let them go!"

After receiving the order, the yamen servants went out and drove Wu Dacheng and the others away.

"This Wu Bai is really not a thing. We worked hard to raise him, feed him and drink him, but now he has become a county magistrate and husband, so he turns his face on him." Wu Lin cursed.

"Okay, stop scolding, let's think of a way to see if we can see Brother Bai." Wu Dacheng persuaded.

"Didn't you hear that yamen servant say that Wu Bai doesn't know us? What else did you see him do?"

"Hmph, if you ask me, he's a country boy, and he won't be complacent for too long. When he is abandoned, he will come back to find us."

"He is so arrogant now, when he comes to us, don't let him in."

"Let's go, let's take advantage of the weather and hurry home early, so as not to waste time here."

Wu Lin was in a bad mood, so naturally he refused to stop talking.

"Did you forget the village chief's attitude towards us before, and yesterday's attitude towards us? Think carefully about why?" Wu Dacheng couldn't help but ask.

He felt that this woman had a sharp mouth, but she didn't have a brain at all.

After being reminded by him, Wu Lin also understood that if her family wanted to live well in the village, they had to rely on Wu Bai as a backer, but couldn't she see Wu Bai? It can't be eased, she is too anxious to say anything.

"Okay, don't talk about Wu Bai, let's find a place to live today and talk about it tomorrow." Wu Dacheng said.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Wu Lin said reluctantly.

**

"Wu Dacheng?" A woman's voice sounded slightly hesitant behind the four of them.

The four turned around and looked, Wu Xiaoshan and Wu Huilan naturally didn't know each other, so they just stood silently looking at each other.

Wu Dacheng and Wu Lin thought for a while, but they remembered who the other party was.

"Yu Xiangmei?" They called out the name hesitantly.

"It's me." Yu Xiangmei stroked her temple hair and said cautiously, "It's rare that you still remember me."

They hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, Wu Dacheng and Wu Linshi had nothing to say to Yu Xiangmei, and they were about to leave after saying hello.

"Is he alright?" Yu Xiangmei's slightly anxious voice sounded again.

Wu Dacheng and his wife knew who she was asking, and thought that Wu Bai had become the county magistrate's husband, so naturally he was very well, so they nodded and said: "He is very good."

"I just heard that you said you were going to find him. What's wrong with him?" Yu Xiangmei continued to ask.

Seeing Wu Dacheng wanting to answer her, Wu Lin changed his mind, stepped forward quickly, and said to Yu Xiangmei: "He is waiting for us at the gate of the city now, it is getting late, we are going to find him, I won’t talk to you about the old days.”

After speaking, he pulled Wu Dacheng and turned around to leave.

Wu Xiaoshan and Wu Huilan were stunned, why didn't they know that someone was waiting for them at the gate of the city, but they didn't make a sound to expose their mother's lie, but hurriedly followed.

Yu Xiangmei was about to ask something, but seeing that the other party had gone far away, she didn't catch up, but turned and left.

The Wu family walked for a while, and after confirming that Yu Xiangmei hadn't followed, Wu Lin slowed down.

"Mother, what did you say that someone was waiting for us at the gate of the city?" Wu Xiaoshan asked.

Wu Huilan also asked: "Mother, who was that person just now? Why have I never seen her before? How did you know her?" And that person spoke so strangely, so did Father and Mother.

"Why do you have so many questions? Remember, when you arrive at the county seat, tighten your skin and don't talk about family affairs, especially that person just now. Do you understand?" Wu Lin said in a bad tone.

Wu Dacheng persuaded: "Actually, you don't have to do this, after all, she is..."

Wu Lin immediately interrupted his words, glared at him, and said: "What is she, she is nothing now, you put away your fancy intestines for me, don't think I didn't see that she came to our house as a guest back then Look at her fascinated eyes!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense in front of the child." Wu Dacheng said a little angrily.

"Hmph, are you talking nonsense? You know it, and I know it too, but I'm too lazy to talk about you now." Wu Lin snorted coldly.

Wu Dacheng felt a little anxious, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this matter, let's quickly find a place to settle down!"

The two were bickering, but Wu Xiaoshan and Wu Huilan behind them kept turning their eyes, and their hearts became more and more curious about the identity of the woman.

In the county government office, Wu Bai didn't know that the Wu family hadn't given up yet, and they were still waiting for another chance to see him.

He is living a very smooth life now, besides Xiao Zimo, Xiao's father and Xiao's mother are also very kind to him, and Xiao's mother is also in charge of the big and small things at home, so he doesn't have to worry too much at all. Practice whipping on the ground.

Of course, his current whip is no longer the old rattan whip, Xiao Zimo bought it for him again.

As for his previous cane whip, Xiao Zimo didn't ask him to throw it away, but instead asked someone to make a box to keep the cane whip as a commemoration of their first meeting.

On this day, because Xiao Zimo had official business to deal with, Wu Bai went to the street alone, planning to buy something for Xiao Zimo.

It's just that he just wandered around for a long time, and found a familiar person.

Although that person was wearing a bamboo hat, Wu Bai happened to see the other person looking up inadvertently just now.

Seeing the other party acting sneakily, Wu Bai quietly followed to see if he could find the other party's whereabouts. Now that this person is wanted all over the city, if this person dares to appear in the city, he is either brave or someone helps him.

Wu Bai followed the other party while pretending to look at the things on the street, but he didn't attract the other party's attention.

In this way, the two of them gradually came to a remote alley, one behind the other, the man seemed to have noticed that someone was following him, and the other party ran away without looking back.

Seeing him running, Wu Bai was about to catch up when he was stopped.

"Brother Bai, how did you find this place?" Wu Dacheng said happily.

In his opinion, Wu Bai still cares about their family. He didn't see them renting in such a remote alley, and Wu Bai came to find them. Doesn't he care about what they are?

Being stopped by Wu Dacheng and the others, and the alleys in this place are full of twists and turns, Wu Bai knew that he could no longer catch up with him, so he had to give up this plan first.

What he didn't know was that the person's hiding place was not far from here. It was the first house around the corner. Bai was just a little brother who came here to look for relatives, not from the yamen, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you still staying in the county?" Wu Bai asked.

"Brother Bai, we know we were sorry for you before, but didn't we all come to apologize in person, but you still asked us to leave. The rent of the house in this alley is cheap, so I rented it. We plan to Stay here first, see you in person, and beg for your forgiveness before leaving." Wu Lin replied of course.

"You have seen me now, and I don't intend to forgive you, so what are you going to do next?" Wu Bai looked at them with hands clasped.

Seeing that Wu Bai was really determined not to forgive them, Wu Lin's eyes rolled and he thought of Yu Xiangmei, and said in a strange way: "Brother Bai, do you want to know the whereabouts of your mother?"

Hearing her mentioning this person, Wu Bai was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Wu Lin was talking about the woman who abandoned her original body and remarried.

Naturally, Wu Bai had no interest in understanding this person, so he shook his head and said, "I don't want to."

Wu Lin couldn't believe that someone didn't want to know the whereabouts of her biological mother. She stared closely at Wu Bai's eyes and said seductively, "As long as you give me 200 taels of silver, I will tell you her whereabouts."

It's a pity that Wu Bai didn't like her at all, and sneered directly: "Auntie, I'm afraid you have forgotten my current identity. If I really want to know her whereabouts, some people will help me find her."

Seeing that he really didn't want to know Yu Xiangmei's whereabouts, Wu Lin had no choice but to fight for it one last time, and asked: "It will take a lot of work for you to get someone to help you find her, so why don't you give me 50 taels?" Yinzi, I will tell you where she lives right now, so that you can see her directly."

While Wu Lin said, looking at Wu Bai's expression, he found that the other party didn't fluctuate at all, no, the other party still fluctuated, and the other party frowned.

Wu Bai didn't want to talk to her, so he turned around and left.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Wu Lin shouted anxiously: "30 taels!...20 taels!...Ten taels!...."

Before she could continue to lower the price, Wu Bai's figure had already disappeared at the entrance of the alley.

"Just now you asked for too much money to annoy Brother Bai. It's all your fault. Now he refuses to pay even ten taels of silver." Wu Dacheng accused Wu Lin.

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to say that when Brother Bai came, it was all up to me to deal with him. Are you dumb by yourself? Since you are so good at talking, why didn't you just open your mouth!" Wu Lin was angry. retorted.

Wu Xiaoshan and Wu Huilan inside the door naturally also heard the conversation between Wu Linshi and Wu Bai just now, they suddenly thought of the woman they saw yesterday, and immediately the brother and sister looked at each other, knowing that the two of them were thinking about something. .

But now that the mother obviously didn't agree with Wu Bai, it would be too late for them to understand.

Wu Huilan asked, "Mom, what should we do next, when will we go home?"

"Go home? To what home? I have to talk to Brother Bai tomorrow." Naturally, Wu Lin refused to give up easily.

On the other side, Wu Bai returned to the street again, went to the Liuyu Pavilion again, and picked out a black hairpin for Xiao Zimo inside. The style and pattern of this hairpin looked very similar to the one on Wu Bai's head, but Wu Bai It was only jade white, so Wu Bai fell in love with it at a glance, and asked the shopkeeper to put it in a box.

Back at the county government office, Wu Bai didn't take out the hairpin immediately, but planned to put it on Xiao Zimo's hairpin the next morning.

But he told Xiao Zimo about the wanted criminal.

That's right, this wanted criminal is the bandit who escaped back then. Wu Bai drew a portrait of the wanted criminal for Xiao Zimo before, thinking that he could be arrested soon, but who knows that he has never been found. , Now that Wu Bai found out that the other party might be hiding in a certain house in that area, he told Xiao Zimo right now.

Naturally, Xiao Zimo would not doubt the authenticity of Wu Bai's news, so he immediately sent the yamen guards out to watch the area, and if he found the other party, he would arrest him.

"You just said that you saw your uncle and the others, and they threatened you with your mother's whereabouts to give you money? Do you want me to send someone to find her for you?" Xiao Zimo asked.

Wu Bai waved his hand and said: "No, I don't want to know the other party's whereabouts at all. I am satisfied with having you as my family now."

"Alright then!" Xiao Zimo hugged him into his arms.

In the next period of time, every time Wu Lin came to look for Wu Bai, he couldn't get in the county office, so he squatted outside and guarded, but he couldn't keep Wu Bai out.

Finally, in a fit of anger, Wu Lin went to Yu Xiangmei's current home and told her about Wu Bai becoming the magistrate's husband.
