Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 370 I heard you, what are your orders, my lady?

Lin Chang'er sat down on the embroidered stool, resting her elbow on her dressing case, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "If you don't want to go, then forget it."

Wu Qingfeng followed, casually leaning against the dressing case, his hands supporting him. "Two days may not be enough to get to Su County. Tomorrow I will go back to the county government office to submit a memorial and arrange the affairs for the next few days. We can set off as early as the day after tomorrow."

Lin Chang'er looked at him and smiled, "Perfect timing. I also need to arrange some things at home. We'll meet at the outskirts post station early the day after tomorrow."

Wu Qingfeng raised his eyes and thought for a moment. He wanted to say that he would come back here tomorrow and leave together. However, he had been away for a long time this time. Just the brief report on his duties would take a lot of time. There was also the aftermath of today's battle at the beach.

There's still the matter of that wealthy man's affairs to follow up on. In short, with everything being taken care of, I won't be able to rest for more than a few hours, let alone work non-stop.

Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay!"

Lin Chang'er smiled at him, "I'll send you into the city tomorrow."

Wu Qingfeng's eyes flickered, realizing that she wanted him to rest a little longer on the way back.

Of course, I wouldn't refuse, "I'll listen to you."

Lin Chang'er hummed in agreement, and the air suddenly fell silent.

Their eyes met, and an inexplicable air of ambiguity spread invisibly.

Wu Qingfeng, supporting himself on the dressing case, quietly moved and grasped Lin Chang'er's hand.

Lin Chang'er noticed it, glanced at it out of the corner of her eye, and chuckled to herself.

Wu Qingfeng climbed up the ladder again and pulled her to his side, and Lin Chang'er did not refuse.

She wasn't clingy, but she was still human; she would feel uncomfortable and tired.

She wouldn't refuse someone to lean on.

Wu Qingfeng patted her back gently, "You told Headmaster Chen and Master Chen about shipbuilding, are you planning to get them involved?"

Lin Chang'er looked up and said, "This project is too big. If we rely solely on our family's resources, we might not be able to complete it even if we empty our coffers."

“I had been observing Chen Shanzhang and Master Chen for a while and thought they might be able to be brought on board, so I gave it a try.”

After pausing for a moment, he grinned and said, "Of course, we're gentlemen when we do things, we wouldn't lure people in to kill them, would we?"

Wu Qingfeng was delighted by the power of her family, and his lips curled up uncontrollably. He didn't listen carefully to what she said afterward, and just nodded.

Lin Chang'er had no idea what he was thinking, and continued, "The matter hasn't been settled yet, but I'm just mentioning it here. If they want to get on the ship, they can; if they don't, they can break up as soon as possible, and it won't affect our friendship."

"Even if they really have bad intentions, we're just saying it. As long as we're careful in our actions afterward, they won't be able to find any evidence against us."

"Even if they take this to the capital, I can just say I drank a couple of ounces of wine and got so drunk that I'm confused. How could the people in the capital believe the nonsense I, a mere woman, rambled on about when I was drunk?"

Wu Qingfeng took her words to heart and gently tapped her forehead, saying, "You've thought of everything."

Lin Chang'er pinched his arm in retaliation, "Don't touch me."

Wu Qingfeng wasn't angry; instead, he asked with concern, "Did you hurt yourself? Let me see."

Without waiting for Lin Chang'er's reply, he leaned down and gently kissed her forehead.

Lin Chang'er stood frozen in place for a long while, then her face flushed bright red, and she slapped his arm, "Wu Qingfeng..."

Wu Qingfeng covered his arm, his smile widening. "I heard you. What are your orders, my wife?"

"I told you not to touch me..."

"They clearly used their mouths!"

"Wu Qingfeng..."

This was the first time Lin Chang'er had ever witnessed this man's "shamelessness." She got up from the embroidered stool in embarrassment and anger, and reached out to pinch the corner of his lips.

Wu Qingfeng casually dodged, and in the end, she didn't catch him.

Lin Chang'er was unconvinced and stood on tiptoe, "I refuse to believe it today..."

Wu Qingfeng smiled, leaning against the dressing table, his hands still loosely encircling her waist to protect her. Seeing her making a fuss, he began to have wicked thoughts.

Lin Chang'er seized the opportunity and suddenly exerted force. Wu Qingfeng leaned back against her, but Lin Chang'er couldn't stop herself and fell heavily into his arms, her forehead hitting his firm chest.

Wu Qingfeng took the opportunity to put his arm around her waist and said with a wicked smile, "If you had told me earlier that you were offering yourself to me, I certainly wouldn't have dodged it."

“Wu Qingfeng…” Lin Chang’er stomped her foot heavily and raised her hand to punch his shoulder.

Wu Qingfeng gently grasped her hand, scratched it against his face, and smiled warmly, "Are you calm now?"

Lin Chang'er pouted, thinking to herself, "You're smart to know your place."

"Mother..."

"Auntie..."

Suddenly, the sound of a child crying came from the doorway; it was Gu Xiaolu and Zhou Yi's voices.

The two playfully interrupted each other abruptly, as noises came from outside again.

"Mother, are you asleep? May I come in?"

"Auntie... Waaah, Auntie..."

"Okay, Mother will open the door right away." Lin Chang'er immediately broke free from Wu Qingfeng's embrace, looked around, but couldn't find a place to hide. Not knowing how long the little one would stay, she looked at Wu Qingfeng, her eyes turning towards the window, "How about..."

Wu Qingfeng refused, "I'm afraid of falling!"

Having said that, he went ahead of Lin Chang'er to open the door for the two children.

Lin Chang'er couldn't stop her in time, thank you!

Wu Qingfeng opened the door, and Gu Xiaolu immediately said, "Mom, Xiaobao misses Aunt Zhou."

After he finished speaking, he realized that it was Wu Qingfeng who opened the door.

The little girl was young and didn't think much of it. She just paused for a moment, called out "Uncle Wu," and led Zhou Yi inside.

Lin Chang'er then saw Zhou Yi crying miserably with his little head tilted back. The little guy's face was covered in tears, and he was crying as if he didn't care about money.

Lin Chang'er went over, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the wound while comforting Xiao Bao, "What's wrong, Xiao Bao? Why are you crying so pitifully?"

Gu Xiaolu explained, "My little brother misses his mother!"

Lin Chang'er chuckled softly. Such a young child, during the day, is so lively and energetic that he forgets to look for his parents. But at night, he will naturally remember that he has a mother.

She gently patted Zhou Yi's back and coaxed, "Good boy, your father and mother are busy tonight. Didn't we agree that you'd stay at your aunt's house tonight?"

Gu Xiaolu also said, "That's right, Xiaobao! You can't go back on your word once you've made a promise."

Lin Chang'er nodded, "Sister is right, children in our Linshui Village don't play tricks."

Zhou Yi still really liked this aunt. She was beautiful when she grew up, patient, and often took him out for meals and drinks. He was afraid that if he kept crying, his aunt would stop liking him. He choked up several times before finally stopping his sobs and saying, "Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao had a nightmare..."

Lin Chang'er: "..." Can such a young child already dream?

He glanced up at Wu Qingfeng, who walked over and picked Zhou Yi up in his arms. "Isn't Xiao Bao a man now? You cried like this over a dream?"

Zhou Yi was taken aback. He knew this uncle; his father had told him that this uncle was the county magistrate.

Although he didn't know what a county magistrate was, he could tell from the name that it sounded very powerful.

Upon hearing this, he immediately covered his mouth, held his breath, and didn't even dare to sob...
