Chu Lingxuan stepped out of the carriage first, then turn around to help Chen Afu.
At this moment, a military officer in uniform came out from the house and greeted Chu Lingxuan with a clenched fist salute, calling out, "Mr. Chu."
He must be the local headman.
Chu Lingxuan also smiled and returned the salute. Then, he took out a wallet from his bosom and shoved it into the officer's hand, saying, "I am forever grateful to my father-in-law, General Lin and all of you for taking care of him."
General Lin quickly pocketed the wallet and chuckled, "Mr. Chen is a good official. He won't stay here for long. I will do my best to take care of him."
Chen Afu didn't say anything. She just smiled and bowed to General Lin, who returned the salute. Chen Afu then handed him the package she had brought. It would first be inspected by him before being given to Chen Shiying.
