The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm
Chapter 76 Learning the truth
Her skin was so white that it seemed to be glowing, and everyone's eyes were drawn to her.
Niu Li had never seen such a beautiful person. She looked at her hands, which were covered with calluses from years of rough labor. They were black and wrinkled, and she could not compare with her. She had no idea who this person was to the county magistrate.
When the woman saw Doctor Zhao and Ni'er's eyes flickering, she glanced at the coachman kneeling on the ground with disgust, leaned over to whisper something in the county magistrate's ear, and then retreated.
The county magistrate noticed that there was actually a little baby.
He waved his hand and asked Ni'er to come forward.
“Did you make this soy milk first?”
Nier answered slowly, "Yes, I was the first one to make it."
The county magistrate touched his chin and said, "You are so young, but you have such thoughts. That's right." His eyes turned and he said, "This incident has affected the reputation of your family and Lai Fu Restaurant. Have you thought about what kind of compensation you want?"
Niu Laosan stood by and didn't dare to breathe. Fortunately, he was cleared of all charges and was lucky enough not to have been beaten or punished. He dared not ask for any compensation.
He leaned forward and saluted, "Sir, I am the father of this child. We don't have to pay compensation. It's good enough that we are cleared of all charges."
The lawyer waved his hand, signaling the third brother not to continue, "The master wants to give compensation, you can just take it without worry. Not only your share, but also Lai Fu Restaurant's share. How can I help reject others' as well?"
The third brother quickly agreed and said no more. He was worried that Ni'er was so young and had never seen the world. She might ask for things she shouldn't ask for, say the wrong things, and make people unhappy. It would be better not to have it.
Ni'er really hadn't decided what compensation to ask for yet. When she took a casual glance, she saw a very raised hard callus on the county magistrate's hand, which was in exactly the same position as the callus on Master Li's hand.
It is the trace left by years of practicing calligraphy, but do people who are officials generally need to write so many documents themselves? Don't they have a legal advisor?
Now that he has a magical tool for digging wild vegetables, he has found people to dig them for him. There must be quite a few people helping the county magistrate write documents. I guess he must like writing.
Although it is not clear whether the county magistrate's handwriting is good, asking for a piece of calligraphy is not a problem. With the county magistrate's calligraphy, it can be used as a talisman not only in the village but also in the town.
Thinking of this, he said without further delay, "Sir, I would like to ask for a piece of your calligraphy. When my family has a workshop in the future, I will hang the calligraphy there as a sign."
The county magistrate was delighted when he heard this. He didn't have any other hobbies except writing. He wrote whenever he had free time. However, after so many years, his calligraphy was still very ugly.
Therefore, there are very few people who ask for calligraphy, it can be said that there are none at all. It is not easy to meet someone like Ni'er who knows what is good. I absolutely cannot let her go and must write well.
Having been immersed in officialdom for many years, she managed her facial expressions very well and did not show a single trace of joy on her face. The people below could not figure out what the county magistrate was thinking. Ni'er was very nervous, wondering whether the adults would agree.
The voice was calm and collected. "This request is approved. What compensation does the owner of Lai Fu Restaurant want?"
How could Manager Liu dare to make any request to the county magistrate? He felt that he would be questioned, and he racked his brains for a long time but could not come up with any result.
I might as well ask Ni'er for the same thing, "Sir, I also want a calligraphy piece to use as a signboard."
The county magistrate was so happy that he couldn't help writing on the table. When the lawyer saw this little action, he knew clearly that these two people had spoken to the heart of the adult.
"Yes, sure. It will be delivered to your house soon."
The three of them said in unison, "Thank you, sir."
The old lady was already a little tired from pacing at the entrance of the village, so she found a place to sit down and massaged her legs.
Yan Zi couldn't sit still anymore and kept going back and forth from the kang to the door.
I looked outside, hoping that the two people would come back soon. Thinking of the scene outside the door this morning, my heart began to pound. I wondered if something really had happened.
There are no ox carts going to town now. I can’t walk that far with a big belly, so I’m worried at home.
The driver dared not make a sound or make any other movement. He kept maintaining the same posture, and his arms began to tremble uncontrollably.
The county magistrate then remembered that there was another person on the ground, and a cold voice rang out, "Do you admit your guilt?"
The driver's voice was trembling, and he could no longer utter a complete sentence. "I know...I know my guilt."
"Tell me what crime you committed~"
"I...I failed to complete the task entrusted by my master. This is one of the reasons."
"The second is to take money against one's conscience."
"It made the master sick, this is the third."
The lawyer received the county magistrate's gaze and continued to add, "You have ruined the reputation of Lai Fu Restaurant and the Niu family's father and daughter's food. This is the fourth reason."
The driver lowered his head even lower.
According to the law, a total of thirty taels of silver must be paid to Manager Liu, the Niu family father and daughter, and Miss Lin, part of which will be paid by Boss Niu.
The lawyer drafted the document and asked everyone to put their fingerprints on it.
When Boss Niu heard that he had to give out another fifteen taels of silver, he felt like the sky was falling.
It would take a lifetime of farming to get that much money, he glared at his wife fiercely.
The eldest son’s wife naturally didn’t understand why she was being glared at. She also had a share in selling soy milk, so why was she blamed?
The adults were still here, so I didn't dare to make any unnecessary moves, but I felt very aggrieved.
The fairy-like person came again, glancing at Doctor Zhao from time to time. The county magistrate looked a little nervous, "Doctor Zhao, my niece's health has not improved. Please follow me and go to see her."
Seeing that the matter had been settled and there was no need for Zhao Jincheng to do anything here, he followed others and left.
Except for Shopkeeper Liu who knew that Miss Lin was the county magistrate's niece, the rest of the people only found out now.
After working as a coachman for two days, I still didn't know the background of the master's family. I just thought she was a rich lady. I didn't expect that there was such a relationship.
From this perspective, losing money is a small matter. Whether I can walk out safely is a problem. Suddenly, everything goes black in front of my eyes and I fainted.
Boss Niu also realized that the two families were related. Looking at the fainted driver, he also wanted to faint. Why was he so obsessed with money and insisted on learning from the third brother how to make soy milk?
Yes, it was Niu Xiaoni who made the soy milk first. Nothing good will happen to her. She is such a disaster. I have already cut Niu Xiaoni into pieces in my heart many times.
Why didn't Goudan's mother close the coffin at the beginning? If she had acted faster, none of these things would have happened, the third brother would not have split up the family business, and someone would have done the work in the fields.
There's no point thinking too much. You should just think about where to get the money to compensate them. My mother probably can't come up with that much money.
I can shamelessly refuse to pay compensation to the third brother, but never mention it and pretend that it never happened.
But it didn't work for others, especially the young lady.
