The chaotic day ended just like that, sending Auntie Lin home. Her pregnant daughter-in-law stood by the door waiting anxiously, afraid that something might happen to the baby in her womb, so Auntie Lin didn't let her go.
Seeing the crowd leave in twos and threes, she hurriedly asked her mother-in-law what had happened. Quickly tell her about it, she was dying of curiosity.
"Lady!" Wait a moment! "
Just as she was about to go home, she heard someone call out to her. When she turned around, it turned out to be Lin Yang. He still hadn't come out from that farce, and his face was very red.
"Can I have a word with you?" Lin Yang gathered up his courage and asked.
Jiao Niang told Ye Xuan to go back first. She went to see what Lin Yang wanted to say, but Ye Xuan stopped not far away, wanting to wait for her.
"What's the matter?"
Lin Yang didn't reply and indicated for his mistress to follow him further. She could only bear with it and follow him to a place where Ye Xuan couldn't hear anything. Lin Yang bashfully said to her, "Don't take what my mother said today to heart …"
"Ah!" The delicate lady pondered over what it was about. "It's alright. The aunt was just anxious to save you, so I can understand her feelings."
Lin Yang looked at her gratefully and took out the 10 taels of silver from his chest pocket, "I think this money is more suitable for you, give it to me."
The pampered mother did not pick it up, "It's better if you take it. Was the tofu today all smashed by his family? Just take it as compensation for your losses. "
Lin Yang didn't say anything, the hand holding the silver gradually dropped. The two of them were silent for a while, the cute girl couldn't stand any longer, there were still a lot of things waiting for her at home.
"Is there anything else? If not, I will be going back first." As she spoke, she wanted to leave, but Lin Yang grabbed her wrist.
Before the little girl could say anything, Lin Yang felt a substantial gaze from afar. He quickly let go and realized that he was being rude, "Sorry, I … …"
Being used to living in modern times, the lady didn't think much of it, but Lin Yang's bashful attitude made her very uncomfortable and she began to get impatient, "Just tell me what it is you want!"
"That... "What do you think about us being together?" Lin Yang's face was flushed red, but he still managed to utter those words.
The moment they started talking, Lin Yang became much bolder, "You didn't marry me, I will treat elder sister and Iron Egg as my own kin. If you marry me … …"
"Does your mother agree?" The cute girl interrupted his chattering and asked directly.
"Mother, she …" Lin Yang's face turned pale. His mother had long seen through his little thoughts about the lady and was unwilling to do so, either in the open or in the dark. Because the lady was a widow, moreover, she was a burden to her family; if the two of them were to live together, it was unknown who would drag who down.
Although Lin Yangniang also liked the little girl, that type of liking was definitely not the kind that a mother-in-law would like her daughter-in-law. If she were to judge the little girl by her mother-in-law's eyes, she would be extremely dissatisfied.
Who would marry a widow? Apart from those old widows who no one wanted, if her family's Lin Yang married such a woman, who knows how many people would laugh at him. Furthermore, she had a severely ill old mother and an immature little brother. From now on, she would be a bottomless pit!
Therefore, no matter how much Lin Yang praised the little girl, his mother wouldn't agree.
But today, Lin Yang saw how his mistress was worried about him and was even willing to pay money to save him. He felt that she must be more or less interested in him, because he had a kind of blind confidence when he liked young people, thinking that the people he liked also liked him.
As soon as the matter was over, he ran over to find the lady to settle it while the iron was hot. If the girl also agreed, then he would go back and persuade his mother. Perhaps, the two of them would be able to achieve something.
"I don't think so. I've always treated you like a family member." The cute girl paused for a moment. With her naked eye, she could see that Lin Yang's expression had withered down. And I already have someone I like, so you should look for someone else. "
Finishing her words, the delicate lady did not bother about Lin Yang's reaction and directly left.
As she passed by a big tree, she saw a flash of green behind it.
"You're done?" As Ye Xuan watched his daughter run over to him, his words carried a hint of bitterness. "How did you reply to him?"
Don't think that he wouldn't be able to see or hear from the distance. That brat Lin Yang actually dragged that little girl and wanted to be together with her. Ye Xuan even had the thought of "if I knew, I wouldn't have helped him".
When the little girl saw Ye Xuan's depressed expression, she knew that he definitely knew what Lin Yang was talking about, but she wanted to tease him. "I'm done speaking, I said I want to consider."
With a crafty smile, the delicate girl skipped off. Ye Xuan, however, held back his anger. This little scoundrel obviously wasn't talking about this!
Lin Yang looked at the man and woman walking together in the distance, absent-minded. "There's someone I like." It means … Ye Xuan?
That brutal Ye Xuan?
After the fifth of May, the village entered the busy season. Some families had good sunshine in their fields, and the crops in the fields had long since matured.
The Lin Family Village was located in the north, but it was close to the mountain and close to the water. Under the influence of the terrain, many kinds of grain were planted, such as rice growing by water or wheat growing by mountain.
Therefore, although there was a type of rice in the Lin Village, it was also relatively small. At this time, the yield of rice was not high, and it was hard to serve.
There was also a type of soybean and millet rice in the village, especially when tofu appeared this year. Many people planned to plant more soybeans in the autumn after harvesting this crop.
The lady had the same idea. Her family only had nine acres of land and they were all leaning against the mountain, so the sun wasn't too high. The only good thing was that the land at the foot of the mountain was relatively fertile.
However, the two of them were not people who did farm work. The nine mu of land was not close to home, and they didn't know what dangers lay beneath the mountain. Thus, after much consideration, the land was thrown there without any farming.
Even though she had money in her pockets, she was still a bit of a peasant. It was a pity to leave everything on the ground without growing anything. She should pull up the weeds and plant the soybeans.
This idea was agreed upon by her family, and on the sixth of May, several of the family's labourers took their tools to the foot of the mountain to open the door.
The three men of the family didn't call her a lady, but the lady still had one thing on her mind, which was that the Kudzu Vine Ye Xuan had mentioned yesterday. It vomited immediately after eating the root and was able to detoxify the poison.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, she implored Ye Xuan to bring her to the mountain and have a look. It would be best if she could find some other plants that she recognized.
When Ye Xuan saw that she'd changed into a tattered set of clothes, tied up her hair, and carried a basket on her back, he knew that she'd definitely planned this a long time ago.
He had no choice but to promise to take his lady for a walk in the mountains. However, he could only rely on luck to meet the pug vine. He absolutely could not go into the depths of the mountains.
She'd heard about the dangers of the mountain. No matter how powerful Ye Xuan was, he still had to pay attention to his safety.
After greeting Huang Yi and Cheng Ling, the two went into the mountains.
In the morning when he handed the clothes over to Huang Yi, Cheng Huzhong's heart was already dripping with blood. However, Wang Plum Blossom told him that she was already making new clothes for everyone, but even so, he still couldn't bear to part with them.
Seeing Huang Yi use his new clothes to wipe his sweat, Cheng Huzhong couldn't control his mouth, "Hey, that's a new set of clothes, why aren't you paying attention?" As he said this, he threw the towel that his wife had given him in the morning over to her. "Wipe it with this."
Huang Yi received it without a trace of politeness. He grinned, "Your wife gave it to you so don't you feel any heartache?"
"That was my Second Treasure's nappy when she was a child, there's nothing to worry about." Cheng Huzhong giggled. Er Bao is a copper coin.
However, Huang Yi didn't mind at all. He even placed it on his nose and took a deep breath, "A child's piss is good stuff!"
"Damn." Having been completely defeated, Cheng Huzhong knew that he couldn't beat him, so he could only lower his head to work and listen quietly.
