"Brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, third brother-in-law, fourth brother-in-law..."

I heard Qin Ange's rapid-fire calls of greeting. When I turned around, I saw that he had already joined the group of men behind Qin Anmin, hugging and greeting each of them.

"Boss Su, we meet again."

A familiar voice came from the side. Su Qinghe turned around and saw Li Honglan walking towards her.

"Master Li?"

Su Qinghe called out, looking at Qin Anmin beside her and asking.

"Oh! Sister, I didn't have time to tell you." Qin Anmin rubbed his hands embarrassedly.

"Lord Li has been staying in Tianhe County for work these days. He stayed at my house for the past two days. When he saw me packing my luggage last night, he said he wanted to go out and relax. So I didn't send anyone to your house so late at night."

Su Qinghe nodded to show that she understood, and felt a little embarrassed when she saw Li Honglan approaching her.

He cheated her out of a lot of money when they met for the first time, and they didn't even talk when they met for the second time at the government office. Last time, she asked Qin Anmin to send her a high-quality pregnancy fruit, but there was no response.

But judging from her personality, she doesn't seem like someone who holds grudges...

"Master Li..."

Su Qinghe wanted to test the waters, but saw Li Honglan waved her hand casually.

"Boss Su, please stop calling me Lord Li. To be honest, I didn't tell you my real name when you saved me last time. Actually, my last name is Baili, Baili Honglan."

Seeing that Su Qinghe did not show any surprise or anger, Baili Honglan smiled knowingly.

"I thought you were just an ordinary restaurant owner before, and I have some status, so I didn't tell you because I was afraid of causing you unnecessary trouble."

"But that day, An Min brought me a high-quality pregnancy fruit and said it was from you. I knew you were no ordinary person."

As she spoke, she glanced at Qin Anmin, who was standing beside her with a look of surprise on his face.

Qin Anmin stared.

"Why didn't you tell me that my sister saved you? Also, didn't you say that your true identity shouldn't be easily known to others? Why did you..."

She was a little indignant about her good friend's concealment and wanted to complain a few more times, but was covered her mouth by Baili Honglan.

Only after Qin Anmin calmed down did Baili Honglan smile apologetically.

"Isn't this because the timing is not right? Besides, I didn't know that you and Boss Su would have the relationship you have now!"

Qin Anmin snorted and turned his head, and Baili Honglan looked at Su Qinghe again.

"An Min and I have been close friends for many years. Now that you have become her sister-in-law, we are even more like a family. She often praises you in front of me, so I thought I should make friends with you."

After listening to her explanation, Su Qinghe seemed to be thinking about something.

Hiding like this, it seems like he has an extraordinary identity.

But...Su Qinghe glanced at Qin Anmin and Baili Honglan.

Although the person who was sent out to do the work is calmer and more scheming than Qin Anmin, he also seems to be a little... It shouldn't be something that requires brainpower, it is most likely physical work!

Su Qinghe quickly came to a conclusion.

When he looked up at Baili Honglan again, he was also very cheerful.

"Sister Qin's friends are naturally my friends as well. Lord Baili, you are too polite."

After a few pleasantries, the few of them quickly established a relationship, and Su Qinghe successfully found another "sister".

"Don't stand here. The sun is getting up. Let's talk while we walk."

After looking at the sky, Su Qinghe took the lead and walked up the mountain.

The road here is relatively smooth, and the pregnant women don't need anyone to help them.

Three women were walking in the middle, surrounded by a large group of men. They were dressed in colorful clothes and were very conspicuous on the entire mountainside. Every passerby would take a few more glances at them.

They walked and stopped along the way. In order to take care of the men, they would stop to rest every once in a while. By the time they reached the top of the mountain, most people had already started to go down the mountain.

"We're here, Lingyan Temple!"

Just as he saw the temple gate, Qin Ange shouted excitedly.

Even after climbing a section of the mountain road, he was still full of energy, while Ji Qingyu's face was full of pain, and he was almost dragged up by Qin Angge.

Looking at Qin Ange, who still looked so miserable even after getting married, Qin Anmin held his forehead helplessly.

"My dear sister, has Ange been acting strangely recently?" She turned around and looked at Su Qinghe embarrassedly.

Su Qinghe patted her shoulder amusedly.

"Of course not. He is your brother after all. Sister Qin, please stop scolding him like this! I am his wife now!"

Qin Anmin's face turned red when he heard this, and he nodded hesitantly.

A group of people stopped outside the temple and watched for a while. When they were about to go in, an acquaintance came out, Luo Pinzheng.

A few people wanted to pretend they didn't see her and didn't want to say hello to her, but they were too conspicuous and were seen at a glance.

"Oh my! Captain Qin, Lord Li, Boss Su, what a coincidence!"

When he saw Su Qinghe and the other two, Luo Pinzheng was obviously stunned for a moment, but then he immediately put on a smiling face again.

She left the man beside her and walked quickly to the group of people.

"How many of you are here to pray as well?"

Her eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled, and her gaze stayed on Baili Honglan for a long time, obviously thinking that she was the most senior among the group.

"Well, it's the New Year, I hope for a good omen."

Baili Honglan had a stern face and was obviously very aware of the situation, acting like a superior. Qin Anmin was also very considerate and waited for her to speak first.

"What's the matter? Lord Luo, are you free today? Come to pray for blessings too?" Qin Anmin asked with a fake smile.

Luo Pinzheng stared at her for a while, with a meaningful expression on his face.

"I don't have as much free time as Captain Qin, and I'm not destined to enjoy a life of luxury."

She made an envious gesture and said:

"But I am the father-in-law official of Tianhe County. Even if I am very busy with official duties, I have to take time out to burn incense at the temple for the sake of good weather and good harvests in Tianhe County this year!"

Qin Anmin smiled perfunctorily.

She would say that these few meaningless words not only reflected her image as a good official who loved the people like her own children and worked hard without complaint, but also gave herself such great credit, as if the stability of Tianhe County for so many years was all caused by her.

Seeing her pretentious look, Su Qinghe curled the corners of his mouth and looked away.

After the polite words, Luo Pinzheng finally got to the point.

She first looked at Baili Honglan carefully, and seeing that she still had a stern look on her face and seemed not familiar with Qin Anmin, she spoke with confidence.

"Captain Qin, I have an official matter that I need your help with!"

She spoke seriously, but her face looked like a smiling tiger.

Qin Anmin frowned warily, but said nothing, waiting for her to finish.

Luo Pinzheng continued with a smile:

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the business situation in Tianhe County has not been very good in recent years."

"In the past, Chijiang River traded with surrounding counties and prefectures, but since the last severe drought in Lingzhou, the Chijiang River dried up. It took two or three years for the situation to ease slightly. Therefore, Lingzhou specifically requested to block the river for four years."

"Although Tianhe County has more than one waterway, that is the largest and longest one after all. As a result, Tianhe County's tax revenue has been reduced by several percent in the past two years. This is not easy for me to report to the authorities!"
