Chapter 392 Give Me a Reason

Fang Jinxiu stepped forward and tried to talk to the yamen at the gate of the county government office. When the yamen saw the iron pillar behind her, he frowned and spoke impatiently.

"why is it you again!"

"I told you that the magistrate won't see you, and you don't look like you can afford the top of the mountain, so don't waste your time bothering us."

Fang Jinxiu smiled. She was delicate, and good-looking people always have an advantage. The official stopped talking immediately.

"Lord Official Chai, I heard the head of our village say that the government actually encourages people to buy wasteland and open up wasteland."

"Instead of letting those wastelands lie empty, it is better to sell them to people in need. The government can also generate income, and the people can grow more food and live a better life. Isn't this a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?"

"Why did the magistrate suddenly change his previous attitude and refuse to sell the barren hills to us?"

Fang Jinxiu spoke very appropriately and clearly. Although everything she said was true, her words were particularly pleasing to the ears, which invisibly beautified the image of the government office a lot.

He would not hit anyone with a smiling face, let alone a beautiful woman like Fang Jinxiu who spoke kindly.

The official actually answered.

"Girl, what you said is absolutely correct. The county magistrate did encourage people to buy and open up wasteland, and the prices were very cheap."

"But there is a drought now. There is no water, and the original fields in the hands of the people cannot be cultivated. How can anyone come to buy wasteland and open up wasteland?"

"The magistrate once mentioned that those who come to buy and open up wasteland at this time are trying to make money by taking advantage of natural disasters."

"Governments in some places are under great financial pressure and will indeed sell wasteland, including fertile land, to some people at low prices. However, natural disasters will eventually pass, and it is when the disaster-stricken people need the land most."

"The magistrate said that he would rather have no political achievements than help the evil tyrants and help unscrupulous traders make money from this refugee."

Fang Jinxiu couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. He was really a good parent official to consider this for the people.

"Brother Yachai, we are really not such black-hearted traders. Please be accommodating and let us see the magistrate. I will definitely be able to prove to the magistrate in person that we are here to buy and sell barren mountains this time, and it is definitely not just for ourselves."

Tiezhu stood behind Fang Jinxiu and was already dumbfounded. He had been useless for a long time and refused to even say a word. Why could he say so much when his sister-in-law came?

He was not like this before, talking about how we know what the magistrate thinks.

The officer hesitated for a moment, "Okay, I'll go and inform you. Whether the magistrate is willing to see you or not is not up to us."

Fang Jinxiu smiled and nodded quickly, "Thank you, Brother Yachai!"

As soon as the official left, she turned around and looked up and was startled. The two men behind her looked worse than the other.

"What's going on with you two? It's a good thing that the Yamen promised to help us report it. What are you doing with such a bad face?"

Wang Tiezhu asked in confusion, "Sister-in-law, why is this cadre's attitude towards you completely different from his attitude towards me?"

Fang Jinxiu spread her hands, "I don't know."

Zong Yu suddenly reached out and picked up Tie Zhu's collar and pulled him aside, "Don't smile at them anymore."

The man had a stinky face, and Fang Jinxiu laughed.

There is such a strong smell of jealousy, why is her Ayu so cute?

Zong Yu was serious and didn't think what he said was worth laughing at. He liked his wife and was willing to indulge her in anything she did.

The only thing I can't do is smile so beautifully at a man other than him!

Zong Yu had never touched Fang Jinxiu before. Before her smile returned, the next second she found that there was an extra hand on her chin.

He pinched her entire chin, forcing her to raise her head, and the flesh on her face was pinched out of shape.

"?" Fang Jinxiu was shocked. Zong Yu lowered his head and stared at her, not to mention taking her seriously.

"No." "Don't smile like that at other men except me."

When he said this, his eyes were full of possessiveness, and Fang Jinxiu was frightened when he saw it.

If any other man dared to do this to her, he would have been stabbed by the silver needle in her hand and become a hedgehog.

With her chin pinched, she couldn't even say a complete sentence, so she was forced to nod.

Seeing this, Zong Yu released her chin, and his eyes fell on his wife's chin again. There were several finger prints on the fair skin, which was slightly red.

He stretched out his fingers and caressed it carefully. Just as fierce as he was just now, his eyes were full of pain now.

Fang Jinxiu deliberately stretched out her chin, "Look how jealous you are."

"If Shantou can really be bought, I can't imitate you and keep a straight face when dealing with outsiders in the future, right?"

Zong Yu's gaze shifted from his chin to her smiling eyes, "Xiaoyue is good for hiring someone."

Fang Jinxiu was a little surprised. She didn't expect her Ayu to understand how to employ people.

"Xiaoyue hasn't even been trained yet, and now you're thinking about letting her take care of things?"

Fang Jinxiu originally said this to tease Zong Yu, but the man secretly remembered it and appreciated it, so that Xiaoyue was so busy every day that she couldn't go back to her room to sleep until the moon was above the willow branches, and she kept thinking about it while lying on the bed.

How did she offend the uncle? Even if he was very grateful to the uncle and his wife for their training, he would not enslave her like this to death.

This is the rhythm of cultivating her into a second wife. There are few people who can match the skills and brains of the wife.

After Zongyu and Fang Jinxiu returned home from the county town, Xiaoyue lived a life of waking up earlier than a chicken and going to bed later than a dog.

Tie Zhu turned his head silently. He was still a young man who had never married. He didn't know why, but seeing brother Zong Yu and his sister-in-law being so loving, there was always an indescribable feeling of desolation in his heart.

Maybe, next time his mother wants to give him a wife, should he try to take over?

Suddenly Chunlan's face flashed through Tie Zhu's mind, and he was so frightened that he quickly shook his head. It was so scary.

It's better to be alone. It's really scary to have a family with a woman.

There are few people in this world who are as lucky as Brother Ayu to marry a woman like my sister-in-law.

Other government officials at the county government office gate also silently turned their gazes in one direction, with sad expressions on their faces. It was unclear what they were thinking in their hearts.

The officer who went to report came out after a while. Just as Fang Jinxiu was about to go forward, Zong Yu gently pulled his arm. He, a man who didn't like to talk, took the initiative to step forward.

"Master Magistrate, please come in."

Wang Tiezhu was even more puzzled. Are we meeting now?How can he have the dignity to come out to do things for his sister-in-law in the future? Will her sister-in-law think he is too useless?
Zong Yu nodded and thanked him, holding his wife's hand and walking in front of her.

The government official took them to the backyard of the county government office. It was the time for the magistrate to rest after handling official duties.

As the two approached, they saw the magistrate's appearance clearly.

A young man in his thirties, with a medium build, thin body, and a bookish look on his face, was quite different from the official in Fang Jinxiu's impression.

"Meet the magistrate."

During the break, the magistrate still held a booklet in his hand and was reading it. He was really dedicated.

"Lord magistrate?"

The yamen shouted again, and then he hummed and said directly without raising his head.

"Give me a reason to sell Barren Mountain to you. How can you prove that you are not a black-hearted merchant?"
