Ordinary happy life

Chapter 37 Investigation

Since she couldn't hide anything from Mother Song, she stopped hiding anything. Her face turned angry and disgusted and she said, "Yes, I did it on purpose. Who let that bitch Lin Qin seduce you? He is the only one in your heart. You have spent so many years for him." You refuse to get married. The previous marriage to the daughter of the master who held the title of Juren was a great idea, but you refused abruptly. If you married the daughter of the master who held the title of Juren, you might not be able to pass the provincial examination this year if you get his independent guidance. Now he is the master of the people's education."

Song's mother was really angry when she knew that Song Mian wanted to marry Lin Qin, but later she saw that although Song Mian still couldn't let go of Lin Qin, she was obedient and refused to see him. There was nothing more than studying every day, and gradually Song's mother no longer took Lin Qin to heart. What really made Song's mother hate Lin Qin was that at the beginning of this year, a civil servant in the town fell in love with Song Mian and wanted to marry his daughter to Song Mian. Although the daughter was just a concubine, she was still from the Juren Master's family. If she could marry her back, the Juren Master would definitely teach her well since Song Mian was his son-in-law.

But who knew that Song Mian actually refused. Although Song Mian said on the surface that he only wanted to work hard for the imperial examination and did not want to get married for the time being, Song Mian's mother knew that Song Mian refused such a good offer because he could not forget Lin Qin and even wanted to marry Lin Qin. Family affairs. The Juren master did not expect that Song Mian would refuse, and was very angry. If it were not for the help of the teachers in Song Mian's school, Song Mian might have been kicked out of the school now. This made Song Mian, who always loved his son, his life. How could my mother not hate Lin Qin?

Sometimes Mother Song really didn't understand what was so good about Lin Qin that Song Mian had been thinking about him for so many years. He was just a country boy.

Song Mian's failure in the provincial examination made Song's mother hate Lin Qin even more, so she came up with a trick, that is, deliberately looking for a marriage for Lin Qin that looked good on the outside but was miserable on the inside. Song Mian knew Song Mian well. Song Mian was a gentleman and could not do anything to please others. As long as Lin Qin married, he would never contact Lin Qin again no matter how much he liked her. As time went by, Song Mian did not believe that Song Mian had forgotten him. Not Lin Qin.

Even if Song Mian knew the truth about Lin Qin's marriage as time went on, he would still be able to let Lin Qin and Li marry him again. Whenever Mother Song thinks about Lin Qin's miserable life after getting married, she can wake up laughing even if she falls asleep.

It's just that it's not easy to find a good-looking marriage but a bitter secret, and Song's mother can't go to a matchmaker for help. Isn't this a straightforward way of telling others that she wants to harm others? Mother Song had no choice but to inquire privately on weekdays. Just in case, Mother Song didn't even tell Old Man Song.

It was Lin Qin who was destined to suffer such a disaster. By chance, Song's mother knew about Li Jie, the waiter of Tianya Restaurant. She knew that he was from Dongyang Village next door. She knew that his family was also a rich farmer with a lot of land. She knew that every one of his With a monthly salary of 500 yuan, many matchmakers took a fancy to him and helped arrange marriages. Of course, the most important thing is that Song's mother discovered that Li Jie actually had a sweetheart in the town, but the other person's status was not very good. She was a widow. Although she was young and had no children, it was impossible for her to marry a good family as a widow, not to mention that the conditions were very poor. That's pretty cool for Li Jie. Thinking about it, you know his parents would definitely not agree.

After learning about Li Jie's situation, Song's mother felt that this was tailor-made for her, so she secretly approached Li Jie and said that there was a way to make his family accept the pretty widow. Naturally, Li Jie refused to believe it at first. But Song's mother failed twice and failed twice, and finally failed three times to make Li Jie believe her.

Song's mother's solution to Li Jiejie was very simple, that is, first find a younger brother to marry home. It is inherently more difficult for younger brothers to have children than women, and then she would not touch him and wait for a few years for the parents at home to grow up. There will definitely be opinions. At this time, it doesn't matter whether you divorce the little brother and marry the widow, or you can marry the widow back home as an equal wife.

Li Jie would be a fool if he couldn't understand that Mother Song actually came after him on purpose. Li Jie was not a bad person. Mother Song's method was obviously meant to harm an innocent little brother, so he was a little hesitant at first. But after Song's mother promised to give Li Jie thirty taels of silver if he married her designated brother, Li Jie was moved. Even if the family had a lot of money, it was impossible for Li Jie to have that much while his parents were still alive. money.

In addition, after being with the widow, Li Jie had to find ways to give some money to the widow's family. As time went by, his money became tighter. After a few days of struggling, Li Jie agreed to Mother Song's proposal. That's when Li Jie insisted on marrying Lin Qin.

After listening to Song's mother's story, Song Mian was in disbelief. He subconsciously took a few steps back. He couldn't understand how his mother, who had always been a bit savage but kind and kind, could become such a vicious person. Song Mian felt that this She was not his mother at all. Song Mian, who was getting more and more excited, turned around and ran out of the yard, leaving only Song's mother's worried shouts.

On one side, Song Mian ran out of the yard and didn't know where to go. On the other side, Lin Han, his father and his son, and Zhang Dayong finally came up with a solution. They didn't know what Li Jie's best friend looked like or where he lived, but they knew Li Jie's appearance and where he worked. In this case, they stayed near Tianya Restaurant every day. They didn't believe that Li Jie would not come to see his lover. As long as he came over, they would arrest him directly.

"There are exactly four of us, so two of us will go to Tianya Restaurant every day. Tomorrow Dazhu and I will go first, and Yongzi and Erzhu will go the day after tomorrow." Lin Han said in a deep voice.

"Okay, Father." Lin Dazhu and Lin Erzhu responded.

Zhang Dayong did not answer immediately, but asked, "Uncle Lin, do you know where the Tianya Restaurant is???"

Lin Han realized then that he really didn't know where the restaurant was. Even the rich country people would not go to the restaurant. Who can afford to eat here? A few dishes cost more than a tael of silver.

Seeing that there was nothing he didn't understand, Zhang Dayong sighed in his heart and said, "I'll go with Dazhu tomorrow. I'll ask Dazhu to take you there the day after tomorrow. Next time, we'll stay as you arranged." ."

"Hey, okay, Yongzi, it's really troublesome for you." Lin Han blushed and thanked Zhang Dayong.

Zhang Dayong didn't say anything and just shook his head. In fact, Zhang Dayong didn't really want to get involved in these things. It was troublesome. But they were all from the same village, and Lin Han begged him so much that Zhang Dayong couldn't refuse.

Zhang Dayong and Lin Dazhu set out for the town before dawn the next day. Both of them had expressionless faces along the way and neither of them spoke. Zhang Dayong has always been like this, and Lin Dazhu felt uncomfortable when he thought about Lin Qin waking up yesterday and lying on the bed without eating, drinking or talking, only crying, and his teeth were itching with hatred for Li Jie and Mother Song.

Tianya Restaurant is located in the center of the four streets. It can be said to be the center of Luohua Town. It is not far from the Yamen. It can be said that without a little money and status, there is no way to win this prime location.

Because Zhang Dayong was a hunter, he would often sell some prey to major restaurants, so he was familiar with the locations of major restaurants. He soon took Lin Dazhu to Tianya Restaurant. In order not to be discovered by Li Jie, the two squatted down in a corner about fifty meters away from the Tianya Restaurant. From here, they would not be discovered by Li Jie and could see the door of the Tianya Restaurant. As soon as Li Jie came out, they would can be discovered.

Li Jie didn't go looking for the widow every day. Because he just went there yesterday, Li Jie didn't step out of the Tianya Restaurant for five or six days in a row. He only stayed at the accommodation arranged by the restaurant for them every day except running the waiter. The well-behaved Lin Han Everyone had to guess whether Song Mian had misunderstood, and everything was really just a coincidence.

Although the autumn harvest has ended, everyone usually plants some corn or cabbage after the autumn harvest, and people cannot leave the fields at all. Although Lin Han and his son were divided into two shifts to ensure that there were people in the field every day, when it was Lin Dazhu and Lin Han's turn to go to town, only Lin Erzhu was left in the field. It was fortunate at first that Lin Erzhu would not be able to bear it as time went by. live.

Just when Lin Han was thinking about whether to reduce the number of people staying at the station every day, Li Jie finally left the Tianya Restaurant after finishing work.

"Er Zhu, is that Li Jie???" Today it happened to be Zhang Dayong and Lin Er Zhu's turn to squat. Zhang Dayong's eyes were sharper. When he saw a man who looked like Li Jie coming out of the restaurant, he immediately asked Lin Er Zhu to come over and identify him. Because Zhang Dayong had never actually met Li Jie and only heard Lin Han's description, he was worried that he would find the wrong person.

Lin Erzhu's eyes were not as good as Zhang Dayong's. He squinted and looked carefully before slapping his thigh and saying angrily, "Isn't it just this guy? Tomorrow is not his holiday time. I must have gone to find his lover when I left the restaurant at this time. Brother Dayong Let's catch up quickly."

Lin Erzhu recklessly wanted to rush over and follow Li Jie, but was pulled back by Zhang Dayong. Lin Erzhu was not angry after being pulled, but was a little confused as to why Zhang Dayong caught him.

"Li Jie knows you. Li Jie will definitely find you if you rush over so recklessly. We will follow him when he is farther away. Don't worry, I have good eyesight. I can't lose him." Zhang Dayong said.

Lin Erzhu heard what Zhang Dayong said. Although he was a little worried that he would lose him, he still stayed where he was until Li Jie was almost out of sight, then he followed Zhang Dayong in the direction Li Jie had just gone.

The two of them followed Li Jie to West Street. The people living on West Street were usually the aborigines of the town. Although the people living here were not as good as those on South Street, they were not bad either.

Li Jie may have been anxious and walked very fast along the way, but he had a good sense of precaution and turned around from time to time to look around. If Zhang Dayong and Lin Erzhu hadn't followed far away, they would have been discovered.

After arriving at West Street, Li Jie walked into a small alley and then stopped in front of a small courtyard. He took a closer look to see if there was anyone around. After confirming that there was no one, he knocked on the courtyard door.

Soon, a young woman in her late twenties walked out of the courtyard and opened the door. When she saw Li Jie, her face lit up with joy, she leaned into Li Jie's arms like a baby, and said coquettishly, "Why did you come here?" "

Business in the restaurant has been good these days. I've been so busy every day that I haven't come in late. Look what good things I bought you. Pigeon, didn't you say you were a little weak last time? This pigeon is a good thing tomorrow." You stew it to replenish your body." Li Jie put his arm around the young woman's waist and walked away, lifting the pigeon in his other hand and saying with a smile.

The smile on the young woman's face became brighter and brighter when she saw the pigeons that Li Jie brought, and there was a hint of obsession in Li Jie's eyes.

When Lin Erzhu saw the young woman leaning in Li Jie's arms, he was furious and wanted to rush out, but Zhang Dayong held him back.
