Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 136 I'll give Qingqing a surprise later

When everyone saw Lin Yunlan coming over, they all gathered around him.

"Brother Lin, haven't I seen you before?"

The last time Madam Lu helped solve a case at the mortuary.

One of the constables spoke first and asked.

Lin Yunlan smiled slightly and nodded in response:

"It is I. I did not expect you to remember me."

Another constable also came over:

"I remember that too."

And weren't you there at the Fuhai Restaurant that time?

Lin Yunlan cupped his hands and said:

"Yes, I was there at the time."

At this moment, Wei Liang said with a smile:

"It seems we have a predestined connection with Brother Lin."

From now on, as brothers working together, we must work hand in hand.

Everyone echoed in agreement:

"That's natural!"

Lin Yunlan's face was resolute:

"To be able to work with you brothers"

Yunlan will definitely do her best!

Then, everyone introduced themselves one by one.

Now everyone knows each other.

Wei Liang cleared his throat and said:

"Brothers, things have been relatively peaceful in the city lately."

Those who came to report the crime were all ordinary people.

Fortunately, they were all just trivial matters.

Even so, we cannot let our guard down.

Now let's divide into patrol groups.

The crowd gathered around, their expressions focused.

Wei Liang continued:

"Lin Yunlan, you're new here."

Come with me first and get familiar with the environment.

Wei Dong and Li Ming were in the same group.

Temporarily in charge of guarding the government office.

Old Zhang and Old Wang are in a group, responsible for South Street.

The remaining two, Xiao Liu and Xiao Zhao, are in a group responsible for North Street…

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Wei Liang further emphasized:

"I heard that someone from above will be coming soon."

We absolutely must ensure that security is handled properly.

Everyone, pay close attention!

If anyone makes a mistake, don't blame me for being ruthless!

"Yes, Officer Wei!"

Everyone responded in unison.

"Okay, everyone get ready."

It's almost time for the shift to change!

Wei Liang waved his hand.

Everyone organized their equipment and prepared to begin their patrol.

Wei Liang led Lin Yunlan along the bustling street.

His gaze occasionally swept across the surroundings.

Yunlan

There are two head constables in our yamen.

One is me, and the other is Niu Xing.

Wei Liang said slowly.

Lin Yunlan listened attentively and nodded.

Wei Liang continued:

"Niu Xing is a straightforward person."

They are also swift and decisive when handling cases.

We usually get along quite well.

We occasionally disagree on our views regarding a case.

"But that's normal."

It's all about getting things done well.

Wei Liang smiled.

"Our government office doesn't have many rules."

But one thing must be remembered.

That means everything should be based on reason.

Lin Yunlan replied:

"Officer Wei, I've got it."

Wei Liang patted Lin Yunlan on the shoulder:

"Also, as constables, we need more than just courage..."

We also need to have a plan.

Don't act rashly when you encounter problems; think of solutions first.

"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Officer Wei."

Lin Yunlan's gaze was firm.

Wei Liang looked at him and nodded in satisfaction.

Continue leading him forward.

As they walked, they continued to talk about the various aspects of the government office.

And on the other side,

Lu Qingqing had also finished dealing with Jia Qing and Master Zhang's matters.

She and Wang Xiuxiu walked together to Fuhai Restaurant.

I looked up,

Then they saw Lin Erzhu already waiting at the door.

Lin Erzhu saw them and said with a smile:

"Xiuxiu, Qingqing, you're back."

How are the children doing at the academy?

Wang Xiuxiu didn't answer; instead, she asked in surprise:

"Erzhu, how come you're faster than us?"

Lin Erzhu said with a smile:

"Xiuxiu, I have good news for you."

My older brother also bought an oxcart.

The chickens have all been delivered to Boss Quan.

Wang Xiuxiu's eyes lit up:

"Really? My brothers bought an oxcart!"

That's wonderful!

Lu Qingqing also showed a happy expression:

"This is truly great news! We've bought an oxcart!"

"It will be much easier for Brother Wang Yuan to get things done in the future."

Lin Erzhu nodded and said with a smile:

"Isn't that right, Qingqing?"

This is all thanks to you.

If it weren't for your hundred-odd taels of silver,

My older brother is still reluctant to buy an oxcart.

My older brother bought a lot of chicks again today.

They said they would raise these chickens well.

My older brother also gave us five bigger ones.

He said, "Thank you, Qingqing."

Lu Qingqing responded with a smile:

"Neither of us are outsiders."

Brother, you don't need to be so polite.

I'm happy as long as everyone is doing well.

Wang Xiuxiu was also beaming with joy, and she said with a smile:

"Come on, Qingqing, Erzhu."

Let's go shopping and look at clothes and jewelry.

Lu Qingqing was somewhat puzzled:

"Sister-in-law, why did you suddenly decide to watch this?"

Wang Xiuxiu's eyes flashed, and she quickly said:

"Oh, Qingqing, let's just stroll around casually."

Who knows, you might find something that's both attractive and affordable.

Lin Erzhu chimed in from the side:

"Yes, Qingqing, let's go take a look."

Lu Qingqing was still somewhat puzzled,

But she nodded nonetheless.

The three of them went to the street.

Wang Xiuxiu casually led them into one shop after another.

But his eyes were constantly watching Lu Qingqing's reaction.

Lu Qingqing picked up a hairpin and said:

"This hairpin is quite unique."

Wang Xiuxiu quickly replied:

"I think it looks good too."

"I'll buy it for you right away."

Lu Qingqing quickly smiled and stopped her:

"Sister-in-law, I was just saying it casually."

I didn't really want to buy it.

Wang Xiuxiu didn't speak.

But she had already memorized the style that Lu Qingqing liked.

After strolling around for a while,

Lu Qingqing felt that her sister-in-law was acting strangely today.

My sister-in-law, who is always frugal,

She always insists on buying herself hair accessories and jewelry.

She said shyly:

"Sister-in-law, why don't we go back?"

Wang Xiuxiu hurriedly said:

"Qingqing,

My sister-in-law wants to eat the chestnut cake you bought before.

But I don't know where I bought it.

"Could you buy it for me?"

Lu Qingqing nodded in confusion.

"Okay, I'll go buy it. You two wait here for me, sisters-in-law."

After Lu Qingqing turned and left,

Wang Xiuxiu pulled Lin Erzhu and walked in another direction.

Lin Erzhu asked, puzzled:

"Xiuxiu, where are we going?"

Wang Xiuxiu glared at him.

"Don't ask any questions, just follow me."

The two hurriedly entered a tailor shop.

Wang Xiuxiu said to the shopkeeper:

"Shopkeeper,"

Has the fabric for the wedding dress I ordered arrived yet?

The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile.

"We arrived a long time ago and have been waiting for you to come and take a look."

Wang Xiuxiu carefully examined the fabric of the wedding dress.

Nodding in satisfaction:

"Shopkeeper, if we make this fabric into a wedding dress..."

How long will it take to embroider with gold thread?

The shopkeeper picked up the material and considered it carefully.

He pondered for a moment and said:

"Madam, this material is of superior quality, and the workmanship must also be exquisite."

If it's made into a wedding dress and then embroidered with gold thread...

It will take at least a month.

Wang Xiuxiu frowned slightly and said anxiously:

"A month? That's too long. Can you speed it up?"

The shopkeeper looked troubled:

"Madam, this is already the fastest speed possible."

Embroidering with gold thread is extremely time-consuming.

Furthermore, the cutting and sewing of this wedding dress cannot be done carelessly.

If we rush things, we risk compromising quality.

Wang Xiuxiu hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said:

"Alright, let's make it a month then."

Shopkeeper, you must guarantee the quality of this wedding dress.

These are the dimensions; please make sure you make sure it's done correctly.

The shopkeeper quickly replied with a smile:

"Madam, rest assured, our shop will do its utmost."

We guarantee your satisfaction.

Subsequently, Wang Xiuxiu paid another deposit.

Then he followed Lin Erzhu out.

Lin Erzhu asked, puzzled:

"Xiuxiu, why are you making someone else do all the work for you?"

Wang Xiuxiu gave him a reproachful look.

"Of course it's for Qingqing."

A few days ago I overheard Yunlan whispering to our father.

I want to hold a wedding for Qingqing.

Then I took care of all the arrangements for Qingqing's wedding dress.

But remember, you must remain calm and collected.

We'll give Qingqing a surprise then.

Lin Erzhu then suddenly realized what was going on and nodded with a smile:

"Oh, I see, honey."

You've thought of everything; I'll definitely keep it a secret.

Wang Xiuxiu instructed:

"Don't give yourself away these next few days."

Otherwise, the surprise will be gone.

"Don't worry, Xiuxiu, I promise I won't tell Qingqing."

Lin Erzhu patted his chest and guaranteed.

The two were talking,

He walked towards the place he had arranged to meet Lu Qingqing.
