Chapter 154 Ancient Farmer (11)
The eldest daughter-in-law went back unhappy, but Mother Lin was very happy.
She still remembered her son's instructions. When she went out today, she walked specifically towards those gossipy women. When walking, her left hand, which was wearing a gold bracelet, shook her hand faster than her right hand.
When they arrived at the place, the women quickly discovered the bracelet on Mother Lin's wrist, and their eyes widened immediately.
"Auntie Lin, is this a gold bracelet?"
"Oh my god, how much silver does it cost for such a boss!"
Mother Lin was surrounded by them, each asking one question. It was too many and noisy in total, but she didn't feel annoyed at all. Instead, she touched the gold bracelet on her wrist reservedly.
"It's a gold bracelet. My family Shi Heng bought it for me."
"Hey! Mr. Xiu Cai! How can he have money to buy a gold bracelet? Didn't you say that your family has no money to support Mr. Xiu Cai's education?"
"Yes, uncle, can't he take medicine and take good care of himself? Where does your family get the money?"
Mother Lin stood among them, her heart beating very fast.
She has been quiet since she was young. After she got married, she devoted herself to being filial to her parents-in-law and taking care of her husband's children. Because he was an only child, the burden on the family was heavier, and Mother Lin had no time to spend time with the women in the village. They gossip.
That is to say, now that she is older and most of her peers are dead, people in the village will call her aunt even if they are not familiar with her.
But that was just superficial politeness, how could it be so satisfying to be held up by someone like that, holding the moon and stars in high esteem?
She felt happy and could keep her face straight, so she immediately told her the long list of words Lin Shiheng had taught her.
How could we make money by copying books, work for the government, and become good friends with a scribe in the government? The scribe also said that he would come to visit our home. Hey, we were very frightened when we heard the news. We were afraid that the master would be here. Something to entertain...
He said he was scared, but everyone could hear the pride and elation in his tone.
The women were extremely envious.
Those are people from the government. Even Wang Xiucai doesn't know anyone from the government!
Although a scholar has a prestigious title, he doesn't get any special treatment at all. He doesn't have to kneel when he meets an official, is exempted from taxes, and receives an annual stipend. These are the benefits that only those who are promoted can get. I haven't seen Wang Xiucai's family. So poor.
It has to be said that Lin Shiheng, as the only scholar in the village, was not welcomed by those families with unmarried daughters. Wang Xiucai, who set a bad example next door, was indispensable.
But now, listening to Lin's mother bragging to her son, she can get a huge reward for just doing any accounting, buy a gold bracelet and a pair of gold earrings, and make friends with the government scribes. If in the future, If there is any problem at home, you can just go to the scribe to solve it, etc. The eyes of women will light up after hearing a series of good things.
Who in the village could have such great abilities? I thought that Wan Yiyong was a scholar before, but I didn’t expect that the third child of the Lin family had such great abilities.
Someone looked at Mother Lin's bare pierced ears and asked, "Auntie, didn't you say that Lin Xiucai also bought gold earrings? Why didn't I see you wearing them?"
"Are you afraid that if you wear it too conspicuously, people will pull it off?"
A group of women laughed enviously.
Mother Lin raised her chin proudly: "I gave those earrings to Lan Lan. She is a young girl. How can she not dress up properly?"
The laughter around him immediately became a meal.
"Did you really give it to me? It's made of gold and is worth a lot of money!"
"Hey, auntie, it's great to be your daughter-in-law!"
These words were absolutely true and unadulterated. The person who said this simply wished he could go back to his youth and marry Lin Shiheng.
They can make money, are good-looking, and have a kind mother-in-law. They come from such a good family. Why don't they have this blessing!
Looking at the envious and jealous looks of a group of people, Mother Lin could be said to be feeling proud!
see that! How capable my son is! How wonderful it is to be my daughter-in-law! I made you all avoid my son like the plague, and made you look down on him!
Mother Lin was not a fool. Before the Lin family split up, when she was walking in the village, she would stay away from the people who had unmarried girls in their families who would come to talk to her. Of course she knew what they were thinking.
She didn't mean to rely on others, she just ran over to you with a smile on her face and took the initiative to chat with you, but in the next moment you became lonely and stayed away, which made her feel better.
Mother Lin didn't think about revenge or anything. They were all from the same village, so that was not the case. However, she was very happy to show her son's strengths and make them admire her.
The women around me were indeed envious. Not only were they envious, they also regretted it.
If I had known that Lin Shiheng was so capable, the third bedroom of the Lin family would still be able to get up. Why did they stop their daughter in the first place!
Lin Shiheng can earn enough to buy two pieces of gold jewelry, and in the future he can earn enough to buy three, four, or five pieces of gold jewelry.
Regret! !
Such a wealthy son-in-law actually let him run away right under their noses!
Although she regretted it, no one in the village wanted to make their daughter a little girl. After sighing and flattering, Mother Lin was satisfied, and then they all went to work on their own land one after another.
Mother Lin, who was so flattered by the praise, was happy when she thought of their envious and regretful expressions just now.
While she was happy, she secretly decided in her heart that she would be better to Lan Lan in the future.
We need to show the villagers how wrong their decision was when they refused to marry.
Li Lanlan, who is working at home, still doesn't know that her mother-in-law has been bragging about how she treats her daughter-in-law so well. I'm afraid that even if she knows, she will only cooperate with the bragging.
She was solemnizing Lin Shiheng's shoes seriously. She was about to travel far, so it would be useless if the soles were not thick.
While he was working seriously, a girl came outside. She didn't come in or come forward. She just poked her head in to take a look. When she really saw the gold earrings on Li Lanlan's ears, her eyes were filled with jealousy for a moment.
This person was none other than Zhou Daya. She heard today that the Lin family had bought gold jewelry and that Li Lanlan also had gold earrings. Her first reaction was that she didn't believe it.
How is this possible? Although she likes Lin Xiucai, isn't Lin Xiucai just a scholar? How can you make so much money?
But when she returned home, her mother, who had previously objected to her liking Lin Xiucai, was mumbling with regret on her face:
"I really didn't expect that Lin Xiucai actually has this ability. If I had known, mother would not have stopped you. Before, she said that Lin Xiucai didn't know how to do anything. Her parents-in-law are old and it would be difficult for them to live in the past. I didn't expect Lin Xiucai to live well. The scholar is good at making money and is considerate, and Aunt Lin is so kind to her daughter-in-law, but we don’t have this fate.”
Zhou Daya felt as if a thunder struck on his head.
She didn't believe it, so she came to see it herself.
Then she was slapped hard by reality.
They are actually gold earrings.
Li Lanlan sat under the sun, and the sunlight shone on the golden color, reflecting dazzling light. This light directly hurt Zhou Daya's sensitive and fragile heart.
It happened that Lin Shiheng came out to bask in the sun after being tired from reading. Li Lanlan raised her head when she heard the noise and smiled at him: "Mr., do you want some water?"
"No, you're tired too, why don't we go out for a walk and relax?"
Li Lanlan would never refuse her husband. Thinking that it was still a while before dinner time, she put down what she was holding and stood up, "Okay."
The two stood under the golden sunshine, one handsome and the other beautiful, looking at each other and smiling, indescribably perfect match.
Just as they were about to walk out hand in hand, they happened to see Zhou Daya's red eyes.
Seeing Lin Shiheng looking over, Zhou Daya, who was full of grievances, looked at her sweetheart sadly, lowered her head and started to moan.
She didn't run away either. Lin Xiucai looked like the kind of person who couldn't run away. What if he couldn't catch up with her.
She stood here, waiting for Lin Xiucai to ask, and then raised her head pitifully.
This method is still seen in the drama. Zhou Daya loves her and takes her with her when she goes to town. She has heard the drama, and if someone does that, the man will feel sorry for her and ask.
The man, Lin Shiheng, was silent.
I have to say, looking at a woman wearing colorful floral clothes, this picture is quite shocking.
Zhou Daya is the pretty type in the village, but when she wears a red headband and floral clothes, her appearance is...
However, Li Lanlan didn't think the clothes Zhou Daya wore were not good-looking. She became wary. Before she got married, she had heard that many girls in the village liked her husband. But at that time, she was completely despondent and didn't think about anything else. Now that she saw Zhou Daya Ya looked like her father-in-law had let her down, which made her feel a little bit disgusted.
Zhou Daya targeted her before, could it be that she was really with her husband before...
She felt sad, but she didn't dare to ask. Her husband-in-law was so good, she was lucky to be able to marry him, not to mention that Zhou Daya's family situation was indeed better than hers.
The more Li Lanlan thought about it, the more depressed she became. She had to say that the fact that people in the village did not dare to propose marriage to her because of Li's father still made her feel a little inferior.
And just when she felt inferior, lost, and worried, Lin Shiheng spoke.
He has a gentle expression and a natural attitude.
"Lanlan, who is this, your friend?"
Li Lanlan could almost feel the silence in the air for a moment.
Even Zhou Daya, who was still mumbling before, stopped mumbling and raised his eyes to look at Lin Shiheng in disbelief.
"you do not know me?"
Lin Shiheng looked confused, "Should I know you?"
Zhou Daya: "..."
Even Li Lanlan was a little confused.
After all, he was from the same village. Seeing Zhou Daya's behavior before, she really thought there was something between them.
But if you think about it carefully, your husband only likes to read in the house and doesn't go out often. Even she was from the same village before he got married. He has never met her. He doesn't know Zhou Daya. Also normal.
Zhou Daya looked at Lin Shiheng in confusion for several seconds. After seeing that the confusion and unfamiliarity in the man's eyes did not seem to be fake, he turned around and ran away with a cry.
She ran very fast, but this time she didn't think about whether Lin Xiucai could catch up or not.
If she had known that Lin Xiucai didn't know her at all, how could she have tried so hard at Li Lanlan before?
Lin Shiheng didn't even look at Zhou Daya who was running away.
You have to be crisp and clear when rejecting someone. If he takes one more look, it will be more trouble.
It's better to take the exam quickly and come back with a reputation.
