Ordinary happy life

Chapter 48 Rumors

"Song family, we didn't accompany you here to let you stand here." Village Chief Li's attitude towards Song's mother was really not polite at all.

Although Song's mother was holding back her anger, in order not to be divorced and go home, she could only obediently walk up to Lin Han and apologize unapologetically, "I'm sorry." With the gnashing of teeth, some people thought she was coming over. Looking for trouble instead of apologizing.

"This is called an apology for you, and you shouldn't apologize to me but to Brother Qin." Lin Han said with a sneer.

Song's mother had always suppressed her temper, but now she saw that Lin Han was going too far and wanted to apologize to Lin Qin. Wouldn't this cost her her life? She immediately exploded and said, "Lin Han, don't go too far. Let me apologize to a junior." Is it worthy?"

"I went too far, hahaha, I call it too much. Believe it or not, I really went too far. Let me show you." Lin Han also became angry and said with an indifferent expression.

Lin Han's expression made Song's mother freeze and feel a little scared, but she really couldn't do it to apologize to Lin Qin.

"Mom, if you don't want to apologize, then I'll apologize for you." Just when the scene was at a stalemate, a gentle male voice suddenly appeared in everyone's ears. Everyone followed the sound and saw Song Mian standing in the yard with a book box on his back. Next to him stood Old Man Song, who was going back to get the money.

"Mian'er, why are you back? Shouldn't you be in class at this time? No, you are finally willing to see your mother. You are so cruel. My mother has been standing at the gate of the academy for so many days but you have refused to see your mother. You are so cruel Aren't you going to kill your mother?" As soon as Song's mother saw Song Mian, she immediately rushed towards him and started wailing.

Song Mian felt distressed when he saw Song's mother looking quite haggard, but he still could not understand and forgive what Song's mother had done.

"Mian boy, why are you back???" Seeing Song Mian, Village Chief Li was also a little surprised. It shouldn't be time for school yet.

"I heard from my husband that my mother was taken away by my father. I was worried that something might happen, so I asked for leave and rushed back to have a look." It turned out that when Old Man Song took Song's mother away, he happened to be seen by the gentleman in the academy, and the other party told Song Mian. No matter how much Song Mian complained about Song's mother, he would still be worried about Song's mother, so he asked for leave and came back to take a look. As soon as he entered the village, he met Old Man Song, who had received the money and was about to go to the Lin family. He knew that what Song's mother had done had been known to the village chief, and was now being taken to the Lin family to make amends. As for Village Chief Li's punishment of Song's mother, Song Mian didn't feel it was severe at all, and he also understood that Village Chief Li had already dealt with it lightly.

"Now that you're back, you can be considered a party to this matter." Village Chief Li sighed.

Song Mian nodded, and then looked at Lin Qin, who was standing quietly next to Lin Han, with a complicated expression. He felt pain in his heart when he saw that Lin Qin was much thinner than before. Then he took off the bookcase on his back and put it aside. He knelt down with a plop and apologized sincerely to Lin Han and Lin Qin, "Uncle Lin Han, Brother Qin, I am here to apologize to you on behalf of my mother. This matter has nothing to do with you." It's my mother's fault. I know that no matter what, I can't make up for the harm my mother caused to Brother Qin, but she is my mother after all, and I can't ignore her. From now on, as long as you say a word, I won't care whether you go up mountains of swords or seas of fire. , I just ask you not to blame my mother anymore."

Song Mian's move shocked everyone present. No one expected that Song Mian would do this. The first person to react was Song's mother who loved her son so much. She directly He rushed to Song Mian's side and tried to pull Song Mian up. While pulling Song Mian, he said, "Mian'er, aren't you poking at your mother's heart? You are a scholar and you don't even have to kneel down when you see an official. How can you do this to a little kid?" Brother, kneel down. Get up for mother."

Song Mian shook off Song's mother's hand and said without raising her head, "Mother, you really don't understand why I kneel down."

Song Mian's simple words The words made Mother Song feel regret for the first time, and her face was covered with tears, but this time she no longer cried like before, but shed tears silently.

Lin Han couldn't say anything bad when he saw Song Mian like this. Not to mention that Song Mian was not responsible for what happened this time. If it wasn't for Song Mian, it would be impossible for Lin Han to keep them in the dark. Blame Song Mian.

Lin Han glanced at Lin Qin and then sighed and said, "Boy Mian, please get up. Although this incident is all your mother's fault, if it weren't for you, we would still be kept in the dark. Let's treat it as offset." As for the future, I don't need you to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire. I just hope you stay away from brother Qin and our home. We really can't afford the trouble."

Although Lin Han's words were not serious, they were like a sharp knife piercing deeply. In Song Mian's heart, Song Mian didn't speak for a long time, but suddenly kowtowed to Lin Han three times, then stood up, put on his book box, and left the Lin family and Zhuangyuan Village. Although Song Mian did not answer Lin Han's words, everyone present knew that he would never appear in front of the Lin family again.

When Song's mother saw her son leaving, she cried and wanted to catch up, but was stopped by several clan elders. Mother Song was so focused on her son that she didn't care about anything else. When the elders refused to let her go, she no longer rushed to Lin Qin and apologized non-stop. It made people feel sad to see that. .

Upon seeing this, Old Man Song handed Lin Han the twenty taels of silver he took out from home and said, "Here are twenty taels of silver, Brother Lin. Please click on it."

Lin Han did not tap lightly but took it and put it in Lin Dazhu's pocket. Let him take it in and put it away. This time the marriage fraud incident really came to an end. The moment Lin Han took the money, Song's mother ran after Song Mian, and no one stopped her this time. Old Man Song also bent his straight back and left the Lin family in a lonely manner, looking much older.

After everything that needed to be done was done, Village Chief Li and the elders left the Lin family without accepting Lin Han's persuasion to stay.

After Village Chief Li and others left, the surrounding women became even more curious and pulled Bai Xiuniang to inquire. However, Bai Xiuniang didn't know what to say, so she avoided the topic with just a few words. Everyone inquired for a long time but couldn't find out anything. They had no choice but to focus on the village chief's husband.

The village chief's husband has already received the village chief's signal to tell the villagers the truth of the matter, so as to prevent everyone from making random guesses and making the matter worse. However, he also said that everyone should discuss and discuss and must not spread this matter outside the village. , otherwise they will be driven out of the village.

It was not only the village chief who warned the village chief and his husband, but several clan elders also warned their husbands or mothers-in-law and several descendants after returning home.

When a woman or husband knows the truth, it means that all the villagers in the village know the truth. The speed of gossip is always very fast. In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire Zhuangyuan Village knew about Lin Qin's deceived marriage. They also knew that Lin Qin was deceived into getting married because Mother Song was behind the scenes. Some people even knew that the Lin family had received forty taels of compensation because of this incident. At this time, the entire Zhuangyuan Village was in a state of panic. All.

"Let me just say, although Brother Qin is good-looking, what are the conditions of the Lin family? Then why is Li Jie so desperate to marry Brother Qin? It turns out that there is already someone outside who wants Brother Qin. If you marry me, you will be taken advantage of." A woman said as if she was sighing or gloating about her misfortune.

"That is to say, before we were envious that brother Qin was going to marry into a higher position. Who knew it would be like this, but this Song Mian's mother is so cruel that she would do such a thing." A husband sighed.

"It's a bit harsh, but it's Lin Qin who made him angry. He still hooked Song Xiucai after so many years and refused to let go. It is said that Song Xiucai rejected the daughter of a master of civil engineering for Lin Qin. I don't know what Lin Qin did. What's so charming about Qin?" A young man who usually didn't deal with Lin Qin said jealously.

"Really or not, she is the daughter of the Juren family. I also watched Brother Qin grow up. Although he has a good figure and looks good at housework, he is just a little boy from the country."

" It's no wonder that Song Mian's mother was so angry that she came up with such a vicious method."

"No matter what, it's wrong for Song Mian's mother to do such a thing. This is why Brother Qin was lucky enough to find out before getting married. You said that if you find out after getting married, is it better for him to reconcile or be taken advantage of? Wouldn't this be ruined for life?" "

Then didn't he find out before getting married? If you ask me, this matter belongs to the Lin family. You've made a profit. Don't think about it. This time, the Li family and the Song family paid Lin Qin twenty taels of silver each. The total is forty taels. Forty taels. We work hard in the fields all year round and go out from time to time. We can't earn even ten taels of silver a year by working part-time, but these forty taels are enough for us to live comfortably for several years." said a husband who was jealous of the Lin family's forty taels of compensation.

Originally, some villagers didn't know that the Lin family had received forty taels in compensation. Well, now that they all knew, they all gasped in surprise. That was forty taels. If you use it to buy fields, you can buy six or seven acres of high-quality paddy fields. If you use it to live comfortably for a family of six for four or five years, you can even cut meat every now and then.

Originally, many villagers felt pity for Lin Qin, but now they are all just jealous of the Lin family. Some of them even took up the idea of ​​Lin Qin with bad intentions, thinking that Lin Qin had broken off the engagement now and would definitely look for Lin Qin again. If Lin Qin was married to his family, the money would not be brought to his family. Do you think Lin Han would take all the forty taels of silver and give it to his two sons? If so, they wouldn't make trouble. In any case, at least half of the forty taels should be given to Lin Qin, and then he would take it with him. When I gave it to them at their home, I have to say that every thought was quite beautiful.

There was a lot of talk in the village, but everyone remembered the village chief's instructions. No matter how they discussed it, they did not dare to spread the matter to other villages. They did not want to be kicked out of the village.

Lin Qin now has people looking at him with strange eyes every day when he goes out. Some people look at him with strange eyes, some are pitiful, some are gloating, and some are pitiful for him, but Lin Qin doesn't take it to heart. When Lin Qin decided to break off the engagement, he had guessed that there would be such a result. It was a little unbearable at first, but as time went by, Lin Qin felt that it was not a big deal. He just wanted to be stared at. There is nothing to worry about if there is no missing piece of meat.
