Ordinary happy life

Chapter 51 Encountered

"If you talk nonsense outside again, I will tear your mouths out." A woman said viciously.

"That's right, my little brother is going to get married soon. If you talk nonsense outside and affect his engagement, I will sit in front of your door every day." Another husband agreed.

Upon seeing this, many women and husbands used their own methods to "intimidate" the women and husbands who were usually garrulous. The women and husbands who were usually garrulous were frightened so much that they said they didn't dare.

Village Chief Li saw all this clearly and nodded with satisfaction, thinking that after today there would be a lot less gossip in the village.

"In the future, I don't want to hear anyone say that the Lin family deliberately arranged this marriage for money. I know exactly what happened. It can be said that if Brother Qin hadn't been lucky, Song Xiucai would have Conscience accidentally discovered the truth about this marriage and told the Lin family. Brother Qin's life might be ruined. I know you envy the Lin family for getting forty taels, but I want to tell you, these forty taels belong to them. I deserve it. If I hear someone talking nonsense again in the village, don't blame me for following the village rules." Village Chief Li finally put down his harsh words and ended today's meeting, letting the villagers disperse.

Although the meeting was over, the villagers did not leave immediately. Instead, they discussed today's events with their friends. However, no one dared to say a bad word about the Lin family, mainly because they were afraid of being punished. Although the punishment will not be too severe every time, it is embarrassing. If a person is punished by the village rules, the whole family will be unable to hold their head high in the village.

The village chief's meeting today has reduced a lot of gossip in the village. Although Lin Qin will still be pointed at by some husbands when he goes out, it is much better than before, and Lin Qin is relieved. tone. Even if I have thought about it, it is still difficult to live a life of being pointed at by others as soon as I go out.

The life of the Lin family finally returned to peace. After dinner as usual, Lin Han suddenly stopped the three brothers Lin Dazhu, Lin Erzhu and Lin Qin.

"Father, is something wrong???" Lin Dazhu, as the eldest brother, spoke first.

Lin Han took out the cigarette pole, lit it and took a few puffs, and then said, "The Li family and the Song family each paid twenty taels in compensation before, and you all know it. Today I just want to talk to you about these forty taels." Distribution of silver."

"Father, what's there to say? These forty taels should all be given to brother Qin." Before Lin Han finished speaking, Lin Erzhu interrupted.

As soon as Lin Erzhu finished speaking, Lin Qin shook his head with fear and said, "Second brother, I don't want it. This money should be placed in the public school."

Lin Han first glared at Lin Erzhu, and then said to Lin Qin, " Although I love your eldest brother and second brother more, you are my little brother after all. How can I not give you any of these forty taels. As Erzhuzi said, these forty taels are originally compensation for you. I should give it all to you. Your reputation is ruined now. If the dowry is larger, it will be easy to arrange a marriage later. But you also know the situation at home. Your second brother has not yet gotten married, and your sister-in-law will need money to get pregnant and have children in the future, so I will make the decision. Keep twenty taels of the forty taels, and keep the remaining twenty taels with you as a dowry when you get married."

"Father, how can this be done? I should give all the forty taels to Brother Qin." Lin Dazhu didn't He looked at Lin Han in agreement.

Lin Qin didn't have any objections. Lin Qin had been taught since he was a child that he should regard his father and elder brothers as his top priority, and the good things at home should be given to his father and elder brothers first. Even if Lin Han took all the forty taels, Lin Qin wouldn't say anything, not to mention that Lin Han also left twenty taels of silver for Lin Qin.

"I know you blame my father for being partial, and he also admits it, but no matter who has the best interests, he will come first to his son. What's more, if I get pregnant and have a child, or even raise a child in the future, there is nothing that doesn't require money, so I won't leave any money. What will we do to raise children in the future?" Lin Han said with a sigh, looking at the disapproval on the faces of the two brothers Lin Dazhu.

Lin Dazhu and Lin Erzhu were both silent when they heard this. They sighed together for a long time. After all, they were still incompetent. In the beginning, it was Lin Qin who helped the family escape from poverty. Now they have to rely on Lin Qin if they want to live a better life. It's because they don't have the ability. For the first time, Lin Dazhu and Lin Erzhu thought about making money, thinking about working hard to make more money so that their families could live a good life, and most importantly, let Lin Qin live a good life.

"Brother Zhang, please try the fried potatoes I made. Everyone in my family said it's delicious." Lin Qin originally wanted to go to Li Mo to see how his wound was doing, but he didn't expect it at the village chief's house. Before I even got there, I heard a slightly shy voice.

Lin Qin followed the voice and found that it was Brother Qi. Lin Qin was very surprised. Brother Qi was quite famous in the village. One is his father who values ​​his son more than his younger brother, and the other is Brother Qi's virtuous character. Many people in the village feel sorry for Brother Qi. Although he is not very handsome, he has good facial features and a good figure. His personality is not picky. It can be said that many women and husbands took a fancy to him when he became an adult. He wanted to take him home.

It's a pity that Brother Qi has an father who values ​​his son more than his younger brother. Like Lin Qin, his mother died early and he has to shoulder all the housework at home. But the difference between Brother Qi and Lin Qin is that he doesn't feel sorry for his elder brother. His brothers and brothers don't help with daily housework, and they don't make trouble. If he doesn't do well, Brother Qi will be punished by him. My father scolded me.

When Brother Qi got old, his father refused to let Brother Qi get married, because he was worried that if Brother Qi got married, there would be no one to do housework at home. Of course, there are also people who want to find a rich family for Brother Qi. Not only can he get a lot of betrothal gifts, but Brother Qi can also subsidize his family in the future.

Because the bride price offered by Brother Qi's father was too high, many people who valued Brother Qi were scared away, so much so that Brother Qi was already eighteen this year and he still hadn't talked about his family.

Lin Qin had never heard in the village that Brother Qi had a crush on any boy in the village. Why would he suddenly give food to a boy? ? ? The most common way for boys or girls in the village to express their affection to a boy is to give him something, and the most common thing given is food.

Lin Qin was worried that Brother Qi would feel embarrassed when he saw him, so he found a corner to hide and planned to wait until Brother Qi and the boy left before going out.

"I don't like eating potatoes." Zhang Dayong looked at Brother Qi expressionlessly, with no trace of joy at being expressed his goodwill on his face.

Brother Qi didn't expect that Zhang Dayong would be so disrespectful. He actually refused to accept the things he sent. You must know that when the boys in the village are given something, even if they don't like the other person, they will take it for a few bites and then return the thing to the other person. This is a polite rejection. If the kid also has a good impression of the person who gave the food, he will eat everything, and then the other person will understand.

Not only Brother Qi was surprised, but Lin Qin, who was hiding in the dark, was also very surprised. Firstly, he was surprised that the person whom Brother Qi expressed his affection for was actually Zhang Dayong, and secondly, he was also surprised that Zhang Dayong was so disrespectful. Hearing that Brother Qi was rejected by Zhang Dayong, Lin Qin hid even better, fearing that Brother Qi would be discovered.

Brother Qi simply couldn't keep the smile on his face and said with some embarrassment, "Brother Zhang, what do you like to eat? I'll make it and bring it to you next time." Brother Qi wanted to try again. After all, he was not old enough. When he was young, he would be betrothed if he didn't get married. He didn't want to be betrothed, so he had no choice but to find a husband to marry him off as soon as possible.

Zhang Dayong can be said to be the best candidate Qi Geer found in a short period of time. If there is no elder in the family to marry into, he can be the master of the family. Moreover, the other party has hunting skills and there is no shortage of meat in the family. And he can also subsidize his mother's family from time to time, which will definitely satisfy his father. As for Zhang Dayong's reputation for being a wife-suppressant, Qi Geer said, didn't he say that he was a wife-suppressant? He would definitely not marry Zhang Dayong's husband. has a problem.

What if there was really a problem? Brother Qi didn't think about it because he had no other choice but to make a desperate move.

Zhang Dayong could tell that Brother Qi didn't like him, so he was very puzzled by his behavior of repeatedly giving him food. Even though he was already a little impatient, Zhang Dayong still gave his brother face and did not say any unpleasant words. He just said lightly, "I can cook myself, so you don't have to bother to bring me food." After that, he was ready. Go home around Brother Qi.

But Zhang Dayong didn't take a few steps before he was stopped again by Brother Qi. Brother Qi looked at Zhang Dayong without crying or laughing and asked, "Brother Zhang, I want to know what's wrong with me, why can't you accept me???" "

You are very good, but I don't like you, and you don't like me either. Why should I accept you?" Zhang Dayong said straightforwardly.

Brother Qi didn't expect that Zhang Dayong could see that he didn't like him. He couldn't help but look panicked, but he quickly calmed down and stammered, "Brother Zhang, what are you talking about...I...how can I Do you like you or not... If I didn't like you, I wouldn't give you food." "I can tell whether

you like me or not. Although I don't know why you must give me food, but I I can tell you straightforwardly that I won't accept you, so you'd better stop wasting your time on me." After Zhang Dayong finished speaking, he pushed Brother Qi aside and strode home quickly.

After Zhang Dayong left, Brother Qi squatted on the ground holding the basket and started crying. Although his voice was very soft, Lin Qin could tell that he was very sad. Lin Qin didn't think Zhang Dayong would lie, which meant that Brother Qi really didn't like Zhang Dayong. Why would he pursue Zhang Dayong if he didn't like it? Not only Zhang Dayong was surprised, but Lin Qin was also very surprised.

Just when Lin Qin was thinking wildly, Brother Qi, perhaps worried about being seen, quickly wiped away his tears and left the place holding the basket. Lin Qin looked at Brother Qi's retreating back and suddenly thought of one thing, that is, Brother Qi is already eighteen this year, and if he can't find a match again, he will be officially matched. Lin Qin suddenly figured out what Brother Qi was doing. The reason why Er must pursue Zhang Dayong.

After thinking about it, Lin Qin felt pity for Brother Qi, but Lin Qin tried to persuade either party that Brother Qi's idea was not wrong and he was also working hard for his own happiness. But Zhang Dayong obviously didn't like Brother Qi, and Lin Qin couldn't let Zhang Dayong accept someone he didn't like. All Lin Qin could do was keep his mouth shut and not tell anyone about it.
