Chapter 430 Inspiration came to her in an instant.
Lin Chang'er pulled her back, "Auntie, there's no rush. Two of the men who helped us drive back today are brothers from the city gate guards. They had lunch with A-Da and the others and are sleeping right now!"
"Later, when I have Ah Da take them back, I can have Uncle go along too, so that he won't have to make an extra trip."
Aunt Zhou always listened to her advice, so she nodded and said, "Okay, Auntie will listen to you."
As expected, just as dusk was falling, the county government received the report and Magistrate Wu personally led a team to investigate the scene, with Registrar Zhu personally recording the findings.
The constables who accompanied the case were also full of energy, as if they were on vacation rather than on official business.
When the He brothers, He Yang and He Fei, heard about the situation, they were worried about not having enough manpower and offered to help.
Since they were already familiar with each other, they started joking around.
"Master Lin said last time that we can order food again. Brothers, let's think about what to eat later!"
"Come on, eat, eat, be careful you don't eat too much and fall off."
"Haha, Mr. Lin's cooking is so good, that's exactly what I've been craving."
"So you went to all that trouble just for this food?"
"That work still needs to be done."
Wu Qingfeng never criticized the yamen runners for their harmless amusement; in other words, Chang'er's hospitality was also a way of saving face for him.
Their fondness for Chang'er's cooking is another way of showing their affection for her. In the future, if anything happens and he is not by her side, Chang'er can still command these people, which is a good thing for both of them.
Lin Beishan was a clever fellow, and he immediately had an idea. After Wu Qingfeng finished his inspection, he instructed them to help remeasure the dimensions.
The group of constables, He Fei, He Yang, and others had no idea who this person was, but they saw that Wu Qingfeng didn't complain at all and even personally went down to cooperate.
Who would dare to object? They'd treat this person like an ancestor.
Lin Beishan became increasingly adept at giving orders, "Oh, no, not like that, like this, look at me, look at me, yes, yes, that's it..."
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you walking with the same steps again? How can you not remember at such a young age?"
"Since we're all here, why don't we all help clear out this rotten wood?"
These words startled Zhou Hai, who quickly said, "No need, no need. It's too kind of you officials to make this trip. How could I trouble you with these ruins? My wife has brewed some hot tea. Please come over, wash your hands, and rest."
Lin Beishan wanted to persuade Zhou Hai, but Lin Chang'er arrived with a string of younger children.
The younger children hadn't seen her for several days, and as soon as she returned today, they surrounded her as if they had made a pact.
Zhou Li and Gu Silang had already been helping out here.
As soon as Little Goldfish, Gu Xiaolu, and Gu Xiaoman arrived at the place, they told their two uncles to wash their hands and faces.
Gu Xiaoman whispered to them, "Uncle, Uncle, Auntie steamed a huge basket of seafood tonight! Those ugly shrimp are bigger than the ones we usually eat! You should wash your hands quickly, you can eat them when you get back."
Gu Xiaolu obediently used a clean handkerchief to wipe the dust off Gu Silang's face.
Li Qingning, who was with them, helped Zhou Li wipe himself, while the little goldfish splashed water back and forth.
On the adults' side, it was Lin Chang'er who was greeting them, "Thank you all for your hard work. We've prepared a late-night snack at home. Please pack up and head over!"
Lin Beishan ran up to her eagerly to show off, "Daughter, Dad asked Wu Qingfeng to take the measurements for Brother Haizi."
He looked at Lin Chang'er with a look that seemed to say, "Isn't your father amazing?"
Lin Chang'er was both speechless and amused. With so many people watching, she still gave him face and gave him a thumbs up. "Dad, you are really smart. You won't need to measure anymore. You can draw the draft when you get home tonight."
Lin Beishan chuckled, but then his smile vanished. He didn't want to draw that night. He had just arrived in the countryside, where the blue sky, white clouds, fresh air, and hospitable villagers made him want to relax for a few days.
"Do I have to draw it tonight? Can it be a few days later?"
Lin Chang'er paused. This was unlike her father's style. In his previous life, her father was a workaholic who would never put off until tomorrow what he had to do today.
Looking at Lin Beishan's pitiful expression, I wondered, could time travel also affect one's personality?
"Okay, you can discuss it with Uncle Hai."
Lin Beishan was happy again, "Then I'll go home and find your mother first."
Lin Chang'er nodded, "Okay."
Lin Beishan ran towards the Gu family's house, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the little winter melon he had seen during the day.
He was in a good mood and bent down to pick up Zhou Yi. "Little winter melon, Grandpa will give you a ride."
Zhou Yi had seen them during the day, so he wasn't afraid of making a sound and chuckled, "Faster, faster!"
Zhou Mu, who had come to help, held the hoe and smiled as he watched the figure running under the lamplight.
He Fei, He Yang, and the other constables finally realized why Lord Wu was willing to be ordered around by this man.
So that's what it's all about.
After wrapping up, the group headed to the Gu family home in a lively atmosphere.
They were all familiar with the place, and with a group of children leading the way, Lin Chang'er and Wu Qingfeng lagged behind.
Lin Chang'er couldn't stand the black ash still on his cheek. "Wait!"
Wu Qingfeng stopped and saw her take out a handkerchief and carefully wipe his face. "It's clean now."
After a pause, he added, "My godfather is a man who does whatever he wants, so don't spoil him too much."
Wu Qingfeng laughed, "It's nothing, just taking measurements, it's a simple thing."
Lin Chang'er hummed in agreement and asked him, "Are you going back tonight or tomorrow morning?"
Wu Qingfeng casually replied, "Either is fine."
Lin Chang'er said "Oh" and then fell silent.
Her hand, hanging by her side, tightened suddenly as a familiar, clear male voice sounded in her ear, "Back tomorrow morning."
Lin Chang'er turned her head and smiled at him.
Wu Qingfeng added, "I'll have to trouble you to prepare guest rooms for the brothers."
Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "Chunhua and Xiaomei have been cleaning the guest rooms as soon as you enter the courtyard, and they also wash and air out the bedding regularly."
Wu Qingfeng nodded, then suddenly realized something, "Liu Zi stopped looking for Xiao Mei after that?"
Lin Chang'er paused, "I haven't seen them on the surface, but I don't know much about them privately either." A love triangle is a bit awkward, to say the least.
However, she whispered to Wu Qingfeng, "I heard from my mother that Brother He Fei seems to have come to the village to look for Sister-in-law Xing'er. The two seem to be old acquaintances."
"Li Chuan's mother?" Wu Qingfeng asked in surprise.
Lin Chang'er nodded, "Go and find out what's going on at Brother He's house. If it's a kind and well-off family, then Sister-in-law Xing'er will have something to look forward to."
Although divorce and remarriage are not uncommon, they are not accepted by everyone.
“Okay,” Wu Qingfeng readily agreed.
"Mom, Uncle Wu, why are you walking so slowly?" Suddenly, a small figure came running towards them from the opposite direction.
Lin Chang'er paused, Wu Qingfeng was startled and flustered, and they both forgot to let go of each other's hands...
