"What?! Mom is going to the third brother's place?!" Mrs. Li was so frightened that she quickly looked at Ye Yuran and said, "Mother, you are so good, why do you suddenly want to go to the third brother's place?"

"Yes, mother, why are you unhappy if we...are you unhappy?" Mrs. Liu asked a little cautiously.

She would never admit that she had secretly opened a back door to her natal family.

However, she only opened it a little bit, really, just a little bit, and it wouldn't affect anything in the Zhu family at all.

She couldn't bear to see her parents suffer, so she wanted to introduce some jobs to them...

Apart from this, she did nothing else.

At the dinner table, everyone showed surprised expressions and started to persuade Ye Yuran.

Obviously, they, like Gan Yixian, do not want Ye Yuran to leave Zhujiacun.

It's just that unlike Gan Yixian who simply doesn't want to leave Ye Yuran, there are so many people in the Zhu family, and everyone has a different reason for not wanting Ye Yuran to leave.

Zhu Da, Zhu Er: "Mom, you are leaving, what should we do? Do you still need to make the decision on matters concerning our village?"

Ye Yuran glanced at the two brothers: "What's my idea? I don't know how to farm. Aren't you the ones who have the final say on what to plant in Experimental Village and how to plant it?"

"But...Mom, we don't feel at ease if you're not here."

"How old are you? You haven't been weaned yet. What are you worried about? If anything happens, you brothers and sisters-in-law can just discuss it and figure it out."

"But……"

…

The adults couldn't help but hurriedly gathered the juniors like Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao and Sibao to take action.

"Grandma, grandma, I can't bear to leave you."

"Grandma, I can't bear to leave you either."

…

But they obviously thought too much. If Ye Yuran was so easy to persuade, he wouldn't be called "old stubborn".

For a moment, the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little low.

After dinner, even Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu came over and secretly asked Ye Yuran if Mr. Zhu had done something stupid again to make her unhappy?

Let her not be unhappy. They are all on her side. If Mrs. Zhu really makes a mistake, she will be punished as she should.

Seeing the worried expressions on the old couple's lips, Ye Yuran was a little bit dumbfounded: "Father, mother, it has nothing to do with Old Man Zhu."

"It really has nothing to do with him?" Mrs. Zhu looked suspicious.

"It really has nothing to do with him. He has been very honest recently. Apart from going to the bridge room to play cards, he just stays with a few maids at home. He doesn't have time to go out and drink with others. Besides, aren't you two elders watching?

"

"Then...then why do you want to go out?"

Ye Yuran said: "I don't trust the third child. No matter how capable the third child is, he is still a young man with little experience. He just became an official all of a sudden. What if he meets some unreasonable old ladies when he goes out?"

Mrs. Zhu really wanted to ask her, are you talking about yourself?

However, Mrs. Zhu did not dare to say anything.

----------------------------------------

Thousands of miles away, Zhu San, who brought Xu Yujin to Qingyuan City, felt a little headache.

Before he became an official, he didn't like to deal with officials. He felt that these officials were all as evil-minded as a plug, and if he couldn't outplay them, he would be tricked by them.

Only when he became an official did Zhu San realize that it was not these serving officials who were scheming, but all those who had conflicts of interest with him.

Qingyuan City is also quite shabby. It is said to be a "county magistrate", but in fact it is not much better than Anjiu Town.

As soon as Zhu Sanyi landed, he encountered a government office that was in disrepair and was somewhat dilapidated. It was said that the previous county magistrate died at the hands of bandits.

In other words, there aren't many others near Qingyuan City, but there are definitely a lot of bandits.

People who even dare to take action against the county magistrate, tsk tsk tsk tsk...

After just one meeting, Zhu San felt that there was something wrong with the thin county magistrate. He wore a mustache and smiled to please, and he didn't look like a good person.

He is also smooth-tongued, just like a second-rate kid on the street.

Xu Yujin frowned and said to Zhu San: "What should I do? If you meet him in the future, I'm afraid you will be in a lot of trouble."

Zhu San laughed: "What can I do? He is the county magistrate, and he was my assistant when he took office. I can't just replace him when the new official takes office, right?"

"You have just arrived, and you are not familiar with the place. You just need someone to guide you. Even if you want to change, you have to check the situation first." Xu Yujin said, "I don't know if the master recommended by grandpa is good or not. I heard that he did this before.

, otherwise, you can discuss it with him?"

"We definitely need to discuss it, but my good lady, we have just settled down, so we should just clear out the yard and then think about this kind of thing slowly."

"Oh, it's time to fight. I was in a hurry to help you with my advice, but I forgot about my own business. You go and do your work, and just leave the yard to me."

Zhu San looked at the messy yard, a little worried: "Can you really do it alone?"

Xu Yujin pushed him out and said: "Okay, why not? Which county magistrate is staying in the backyard? We have just arrived. If people see us, we have to gossip..."

"What are you afraid of? They love to talk about themselves, but I don't rely on them for a living anyway."

Having said that, Zhu San was still pushed out by Xu Yujin.

Zhu San didn't go anywhere else. He took a few people to go shopping on the street. Before he went far, he ran into the county magistrate who had just left.

The county magistrate was thick-skinned and sent it directly to his door. He tried to persuade Zhu San to act as a tour guide for him.

Zhu San was not sure whether what he saw and heard under the leadership of the county magistrate was true, but he had a general impression of Qingyuan County.

On the other side, Xu Yujin took the maids and women to clean up the back office.

The housekeeper asked around the neighbors and temporarily invited a few locals to come over to help. They cleaned and purchased furniture. After a busy day, they finally sorted things out.

On a special occasion, Xu Yujin did not plan to make the houya look like her home in Pushou City. Instead, she took reference from her hometown in Zhujiacun and kept the vegetable plot left by her predecessor, preparing to continue using it in the future.

While things were being tidied up over there, a mother-in-law came over and told Xu Yujin that she had made inquiries and heard that the former county magistrate's wife also married lowly and took her widowed mother-in-law with her to take office with the county magistrate.

The widowed mother was born into a peasant and was very stingy. She always felt that her rich daughter-in-law looked down on her, so she often secretly made trouble for her daughter-in-law.

I heard that not long after I came here, the mother-in-law scolded her daughter-in-law for being unfilial, saying that her daughter-in-law was a hen that couldn't lay eggs, and she wanted to make a stipulation for her daughter-in-law to take concubines and give birth to sons for the county magistrate.

Xu Yujin looked slightly surprised: "This..."

The housekeeper looked certain: "It's true, otherwise how could the lady in charge of cleaning know so clearly? It's just because the widowed mother was thick-skinned and made such a fuss that everyone living nearby

I heard it. After a little inquiry, I found out that the widowed mother and the daughter-in-law there have become a joke in the neighborhood..."

Xu Yujin was amazed that even the county magistrate's jokes were read, which was enough to show how much trouble the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had at that time.
