  It was evening when Tu Lin and Ruan Tang returned to Fengyang County with the bandit suppressing officers and soldiers, and it took a lot of time to try Li's case in the county government office. By the time they came out of the county government office, it was already dark. And because it was too late and the city gate was closed, Tu Lin and Ruan Tang planned to stay overnight in Shilixiang.

When they followed Zhao Changping to Shilixiang, they saw Tu Xinmei, Yuan Rui and others holding lanterns at the gate of Shilixiang at a distance, and they didn't know how long they had been waiting.

Although Tu Lin and Ruan Tang happened to pass by the gate of Shilixiang when they entered the city with the bandit suppressing officers and soldiers, and Tu Xinmei knew that both of them were well, but at this moment when they finally came back, they were still very excited.

"It's great to be back at last." Tu Xinmei didn't wait for Tu Lin and the others to walk in, so she rushed up to meet her. She looked at Tu Lin and then at Ruan Tang, and saw that although the two looked good, they couldn't help but describe their clothes a bit. Embarrassed, I couldn't help but still have red eyes, and said: "It's been hard these two days, come in the house quickly, the hot water and meals are ready, wash up first, and then have a good meal." He dragged Tu Lin and Ruan Tang into the restaurant.

After taking a look at Tu An and his daughter first, Tu Lin and Ruan Tang went to the room that Tu Xinmei had tidied up for them, ready to take a bath and change clothes. They were husband and wife, and they had nothing to hide, so they shared a big bathtub to take a bath.

Since Ruan Tang's stomach was six months old, Tu Lin never touched Ruan Tang again. After giving birth to his daughter's full moon, Ruan Tang had to rest and recuperate, so Tu Lin naturally wouldn't bother him. I haven't had sex for more than a month. At this time, I was bathing with Ruan Tang, and as far as I could see was Ruan Tang's beautiful body, and even touched his skin from time to time, Tu Lin couldn't help feeling a little distracted.

Taking the towel from the wooden rack next to the bathtub, Tu Lin approached Ruan Tang, and said softly, "A Tang, may I wipe your back for you?

" Ruan Tang didn't think much about it, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and lay down on the tub, exposing his back.

But Tu Lin's gaze only stayed on his white and firm back for a moment, and then fell all the way down to the narrow waist and the full roundness hidden in the water, swallowing dryly. But he didn't break his promise, and quickly wiped Ruan Tang's back, but his body was stuck to Ruan Tang's body, and he rubbed lightly without any trace.

Tu Lin and Ruan Tang hadn't had a moment's rest since midnight last night until now. Ruan Tang was fine before, but now that he was relaxed, he gradually became drowsy and didn't notice Tu Lin's movements.

"Is this okay? Do you want to be heavier?" Tu Lin rubbed, then asked Ruan Tang if his strength was appropriate, but he didn't hear Ruan Tang's answer for a while.

He looked up, only to find that Ruan Tang had fallen asleep, he couldn't help but startled, then smiled helplessly, and then moved his body back slightly. Ruan Tang was so tired, how could he be willing to torment him again, in the end he had no choice but to dip his hand into the water and touch it, to satisfy his hunger, and that's all.

Although Ruan Tang was extremely tired, he couldn't sleep in the bathtub all the time. So after Tu Lin finished washing both of them, he wrapped them up in a dry and soft blanket, and carried them directly to the bedroom next door. Although Tu Xinmei also prepared clothes for the two of them, Tu Lin didn't wear them for fear of waking Ruan Tang up.

After Ruan Tang was settled, Tu Lincai changed into clean clothes and left the house to find Tu Xinmei and Zhao Changping. Seeing him alone but not Ruan Tang, Tu Xinmei naturally wanted to ask, so Tu Lin explained.

Knowing that Ruan Tang was tired and fell asleep, and there was nothing wrong with it, Tu Xinmei felt relieved. The most indispensable thing in the left and right restaurants is food, and it is okay to eat while waiting for Ruan Tang to wake up, it is better to let him have a good rest now.

Zhao Changping saw everything that happened in the county government from beginning to end. He had told Tu Xinmei when Tu Lin and Ruan Tang were bathing, but they didn't know what happened to Tu Lin and Ruan Tang in Heihu Mountain. While eating, I gave them a brief talk.

Although Tu Lin concealed some thrilling parts when he said it, Tu Xinmei still couldn't help but look scared, and chanted about Bodhisattva's blessing and Bodhisattva's blessing while listening.

Just talking, Tu Xinmei began to scold again, and the person who scolded was naturally Li Shi. If she hadn't caused trouble, how could Tu Lin and the others have to suffer those crimes. Fortunately, Li's evil has been rewarded with evil now, and he has been sentenced to death, so he can no longer harm Tu Lin and the others.

When it comes to the Li family, one can't help but think of Tu Wendong, Tu Wenqiang and others. Although Tu Xinmei hated Li Shi because of Tu Lin's relationship, and was not close to Li Shi's children, there was no hatred. It wasn't until the fact that Tu Wendong was Tu Yu's father was revealed that Tu Xinmei also hated Tu Wendong. Although Tu Wenqiang was a little angry at first, but after learning that he had helped Tu Lin, he had a good impression of him.

Now, because Tu Wendong was the victim of the Li family and the bandit leader, not only Tu's father had a stroke, but the entire Tu family was ransacked. Tu Wenqiang's family didn't know how to live in the future, and Tu Xinmei felt a little sympathetic. Get up with Tu Wenqiang.

Tu Lin could understand what Tu Xinmei wanted to do to help Tu Wenqiang. After all, Tu Wenqiang is also their younger brother, and he has helped him many times, especially in court today. If it weren't for Tu Wenqiang, Li Chengxiang's family would have escaped the crime, so even if Tu Xinmei didn't say anything, Tu Lin also planned to compensate Tu Wenqiang.

Seeing that Tu Lin had the same thoughts as hers, Tu Xinmei immediately discussed how to help Tu Wenqiang, and asked Tu Lin to call her when he went to find Tu Wenqiang. Tu's father was ill, and as a daughter, she should also go and have a look. Tu Lin naturally nodded in agreement.

While speaking, Tu Lin had almost finished eating. Tu Xinmei didn't say any more, and asked him to go back to his room to rest. Tu Lin also felt a little tired at this time, so he talked to Tu Xinmei and Zhao Changping, and went back to his room.

Ruan Tang was still soundly asleep, Tu Lin relaxed his hands and feet after entering the room, and after taking off all his clothes, he lifted a corner of the quilt and lay down. Holding Ruan Tang's warm and soft body, Tu Lin closed his eyes contentedly, and soon fell asleep.

One night without dreams, when the sky was bright the next day, Ruan Tang first woke up with Tu Lin, but because Tu Lin hugged him tightly in his sleep, he didn't dare to move for fear of waking Tu Lin, so he stayed with Tu Lin Lying down all the time.

Not long after, Tu Lincai also woke up, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he met Ruan Tang's clear eyes, looking at him with a smile on his face, couldn't help but kissed him, then turned over, and Press people down. After holding back the fire for three months, I can finally let it go. So, when the two finally went out, it was already high in the sun.

Although Tu Xinmei had always been close to them, Ruan Tang felt very embarrassed and annoyed Tu Lin by making such a mess in someone else's house. Fortunately, Tu Xinmei and Zhao Changping didn't think much about it, they just thought they must be exhausted and should sleep more, which made Ruan Tang feel better.

After three days away from home, it's time to go back now. Tu Xinmei didn't stay with Tu Lin and Ruan Tang any longer. After they had eaten, she helped them pack up their things and sent them to the carriage. Tu Lin and Ruan Tang took Tu An, their daughter and nurse Qi Shi back to Zhuxi Village.

As for Yuan Rui, Liu Bao, and Wang Fu, they had stayed in Shilixiang for the past few days, but now the threat of bandits was gone, so when the city gate opened in the morning, the three returned to Zhuxi Village first.

By the time Tu Lin and the others returned home, the three of Yuan Rui had already cleaned the inside and outside of the house and the yard, and the messy cups and plates left on the day of the full moon ceremony had also been cleaned and tidied up, and they were hungry for three days. The pigs and other animals that were starved and thin were also fed, and they stopped making troubles honestly.

Although Liu Bao and Wang Fu have not been at home for a long time, they have always been diligent, proper and down-to-earth. Tu Lin is still very satisfied. Although Yuan Rui is not a member of their family, he has always done his best. He also remembered it in his heart. Thinking of how much they had been worried and frightened in the past few days, he gave the three of them a holiday and gave each of them two taels of silver to let them rest and relax, which was considered a reward.

And Tu Lin and Ruan Tang didn't do anything that day, they just stayed at home and spent a good day with Tu An and their daughter. Before Tu Lin was just in case, not only did they leave no one at home, the shops in the county were also closed, and he even went to the college to ask Tu An for a few days off. But I was afraid that Tu An would be afraid, so I didn't tell him about the bandits, only that Tu Lin and Ruan Tang had business to leave for a few days, and asked him to stay at Tu Xinmei's house for a few days.

Tu Xinmei and Zhao Changping also knew that children should not be allowed to know about these things, so they avoided Tu An and the others when they spoke. Among the children, only the older Zhao Xiuxiu knew about this matter, and it was when Tu Lin and Ruan Tang grew up. Heihushan was notified by Tu Xinmei only after he came back. But now that everything is over, Tu An is still too young, and this is not a good thing, so Tu Lin still has no plan to tell him.

It was good to rest at home for a whole day, and the next day, Tu Lin drove Tu An into the city. After sending Tu An to the academy, he went to the shop to make preparations for reopening. At home, Liu Bao and Wang Fu also continued to make soap, Yuan Rui was still in charge of raising livestock, and Ruan Tang mainly looked after his daughter and settled accounts and records. Everything returned to the calm of the past.

Two days later, Tu Lin asked Liu Bao to drop by Shilixiang when he was delivering soap to the shop, and told Tu Xinmei that he planned to go to Lijiagou to find Tu Wenqiang tomorrow. When Liu Bao came back, he brought back Tu Xinmei's reply letter, and she would go back to Zhuxi Village and go with Tu Lin. So after breakfast the next day, Tu Lin waited at home. Not long after, Tu Xinmei arrived as scheduled, and the two went to Lijiagou together.

The appearance of Tu Lin and Tu Xinmei surprised everyone in Lijiagou, but no one came forward to talk to them. The two were also very happy, so they ignored each other and went straight to Tu's house. Unexpectedly, the Tu family was called, and after calling to open the door, it was Tu Wenqiang's wife Song Shi who came to open the door, but Tu Wenqiang was not there.

Tu Lin naturally wanted to ask, but later found out that Tu Wenqiang had gone up the mountain not long ago. Originally, Tu Lin thought that Tu Wenqiang went up the mountain to cut firewood or something, but Song told him that Tu Wenqiang went up the mountain to find a place to bury Li.

It turned out that the county government sent someone the day before yesterday, saying that Mrs. Li had disappeared the next night after being put into prison, and informed Tu Wenqiang to collect the body. Although Mrs. Li has done many evil things, but now that he is dead, Tu Wenqiang, as his son, must bury him properly.

But he didn't want to spread the news about Li's collusion with bandits, murdering his stepson, and even having an illegitimate child with bandits, which would ruin the reputation of the whole Lijiagou village and implicate many families. In just these two days, two families who had already engaged in marriage were divorced, and a daughter of the Li family who was married was also divorced by her husband's family. In this way, the people in Lijiagou hated the Li family so much that they did not allow Tu Wenqiang to bury the Li family in the Lijiagou cemetery.

How did Tu Wenqiang fight against the whole village? In the end, he had no choice but to go up the mountain, planning to bury Mrs. Li on the mountain. Not only that, the villagers not only hated the Li family, but also turned their anger on the Tu family. If Tu Wenqiang hadn't moved out of Tu Lin, the Tu family's ancestral grave would have been dug up by them.

Hearing this, Tu Lin and Tu Xinmei both frowned. They didn't care where Mrs. Li was buried, but their grandparents and mother Mrs. Ji were still buried in the ancestral grave of the Tu family. But Tu Lin's reputation can hold the villagers down for a while, but not for a lifetime, and they are far away from each other, so if they don't keep it together, they will be so bold. In this way, the only thing that can be done once and for all is to move the grave.

It's just that moving the grave is not a trivial matter. Where and when to move is very particular. It is not something that can be done overnight. Right now, Tu Lin and Tu Xinmei only agreed on this matter. After seeing Tu Wenqiang, they will find someone to arrange.
