Ordinary happy life

Chapter 68 Follow-up

Lin Qin was the first one to come back to his senses. Lin Qin smiled coldly and said, "What retribution." "

Isn't it retribution? Then if Li Jie hadn't been thinking about defrauding the marriage, he was trying to find a way. If we had let that widow in, we wouldn't have had this situation today." Lin Qin's words seemed to turn on a switch, and the villagers started talking.

"That's right, there is no parent in the world who can resist their children. If Li Jie really insists on marrying the widow, and for the sake of the child, Li Jie's father and mother can still disagree." "

Yes, I just pity the injured villagers in Dongyang Village, whose heads were broken for no reason." A man said sadly.

"My little brother just got married in Dongyang Village some time ago. I don't know if anything will happen." A husband whose younger brother got married in Dongyang Village said worriedly.

"Your little brother is very sensible. He will definitely not join in the fun and stay at home and he will be fine." Another woman who was close to the husband comforted him.

Lin Qin felt happy for the retribution suffered by the Li family, but also felt sad for the innocent villagers of Dongyang Village who were implicated. After thinking about it, he asked Mr. Mao, "Uncle Mao, I want to ask the poor man." What happened to the Li family and the debt collectors after we came here??? And are the injured villagers in serious trouble???"

As soon as Lin Qin's words came out, the people around him became quiet again, obviously they also wanted to know.

"According to the head of my family, the three members of the Li family and the group of men who collected debts were all imprisoned in the county government office. As for the injured villagers, most of them suffered from skin injuries. They just need to take a good rest for a period of time. But whether they are recovering from injuries or working in the fields, All the delayed work costs a lot of money, and the three members of the Li family are really doing a lot of harm to people." Mr. Mao sighed.

Lin Qin agreed very much with Mao Fulang's words. For farmers, the fields are their lifeblood. Delaying the work in the fields is equivalent to poaching their meat, which also means that the entire family will have to cut back on clothing and diet in the coming year. What's more, they were injured, and they must eat something good to recuperate. There is also no need to pay for dressings and other things. Based on various calculations, the villagers of Dongyang Village will not have a good year this year.

The villagers could naturally think of things that Lin Qin could think of. While sighing, they couldn't help but sigh that Lin Qin was lucky enough to discover the true identity of the Li family early.

Because of Mao Fulang's delay, Zhang Dayong had already gone out when Lin Qin arrived at Zhang's house. He didn't know whether he went up the mountain or went to the town to sell prey. Lin Qin looked at the already somewhat dirty yard, picked up a broom and started cleaning. After cleaning everything inside and outside, Lin Qin sat under the eaves and waited for Zhang Dayong to come back.

After Zhang Dayong arrived in the town, he first went to the restaurant where he usually trades to sell his prey, and then went to buy oil, salt and other daily necessities. After doing all this, Zhang Dayong did not return to the village immediately, but went to the pastry shop to buy some. A few pieces of white sugar cake.

White sugar cake is the simplest and cheapest pastry to make among all pastries, but even if the cheapest is only three pennies and two yuan, you have to know that three pennies can buy two meat buns. Except for wealthy families, few people are willing to spend three pennies on sugar cakes.

As for why Zhang Dayong came to buy this white sugar cake, it starts with a chat with Lin Qin a few days ago. A few days ago, Lin Qin and Zhang Dayong met in the village and chatted for a while. While chatting, Lin Qin talked about the only time he had eaten cakes so far.

Lin Qin still took advantage of Li Mo that time. Lin Qin and Li Mo were good friends when they were children. Village chief Li once bought two pieces of white sugar cake for Li Mo, and Li Mo took them to Lin Qin to share. Although Lin Qin knew that the white sugar cake was precious and refused, in the end he couldn't resist Li Mo and tasted half of it. Whether it was the lingering texture or the sweet taste, Lin Qin still remembered it. However, it was impossible for the Lin family to buy sugar cakes for Lin Qin because of his poverty. Even if his family was now a little richer, Lin Qin would not be able to part with it.

Lin Qin's longing look when he talked about white sugar cakes was deeply imprinted in Zhang Dayong's heart, so Zhang Dayong bought four pieces of white sugar cakes when he came to town this time. It's not that Zhang Dayong is reluctant to buy more, but Zhang Dayong knows that if he buys too much, Lin Qin will not only not be happy, but will also be angry that Zhang Dayong spends money indiscriminately.

I don't know if he got up too early today, or the sun is too comfortable, but Lin Qin fell asleep while sitting under the eaves, waiting. What Zhang Dayong saw when he came back was this picture. Lin Qin was sleeping soundly against the door with his eyes closed. The sunlight hit half of Lin Qin's body, making Lin Qin look so warm.

Seeing Lin Qin sleeping soundly, Zhang Dayong couldn't bear to wake Lin Qin up. However, although the weather was perfect now, it was still easy to catch a cold after sleeping outside for a long time. Zhang Dayong could only step forward and push Lin Qin gently, calling "Brother Qin, wake up."

Lin Qin didn't sleep deeply. He woke up almost as soon as Zhang Dayong called him. He rubbed his eyes and said to Zhang Dayong, "Brother Dayong, you are back. Why did I fall asleep?" "

Have you not had a good rest recently? Why are you here? Do you have a problem with me???" Lin Qin and Zhang Dayong are not married yet, so Lin Qin does not come to Zhang's house often. Logically speaking, Lin Qin just came here a few days ago, so he shouldn't come back so soon.

When Lin Qin heard Zhang Dayong's question, he remembered the purpose of his visit, blushed, lowered his head slightly and said sheepishly, "My father asked me to come to you and asked you to come over to discuss our wedding date."

Zhang Dayong is so thick-skinned. , at this time, his old face could not help but blush, and his words became stuttering, "Oh...oh...wedding...I'll be there in a moment."

Lin Qin was a little embarrassed at first, but when he saw Zhang Dayong's nervousness He couldn't help but laugh out loud, and his nervousness was much less.

Perhaps Lin Qin's laughter infected Zhang Dayong, and Zhang Dayong slowly calmed down. With a rare comfortable smile on his face, he took the sugar cake out of his arms and handed it to Lin Qin.

Lin Qin looked at the oil paper Zhang Dayong handed over and didn't know what it was. He took it and opened it and found that it was actually a white sugar cake. He immediately understood that Zhang Dayong had remembered what he had said a few days ago and bought it specially for him. He was very moved and his eyes were slightly twitching. reddish.

Zhang Dayong was at a loss when he saw Lin Qin with red eyes. He bought the sugar cake to make Lin Qin happy, not to make Lin Qin cry.

Seeing Zhang Dayong's bewildered look, Lin Qin couldn't help but burst into laughter. He picked up a piece of white sugar cake and carefully took a bite. The soft and sweet taste was still the same as in his memory. Lin Qin couldn't bear to finish it all at once. He took another careful bite and then wrapped it in oil paper again. Then he said, "Don't buy it next time. It's very expensive." "It's okay. I

can't afford a few more pieces." It's still affordable," Zhang Dayong said.

Zhang Dayong had already said so. Lin Qin would be a bit ungrateful if he tried to persuade her any more, so he could only say thank you, "It's getting late. I'll go back first. Please remember to come later

." "Hey, okay." Zhang Dayong kept saying. He hopes to have a home and he can have one now. How could he not be active?

When Lin Qin returned home, he saw Li Mo busy in the kitchen and thought that the white sugar cake he ate when he was a child was given to him by Li Mo. If it's just for Li Mo, it's natural to give it to Bai Xiuniang. They are all brother's wives and they can't be treated differently. However, there were only four pieces of sugar cake, and Zhang Dayong bought it specially for him. Lin Qin was a little reluctant to part with it. After struggling for a long time, Lin Qin decided to be selfish and secretly put away the sugar cake for himself.

Perhaps out of guilt, Lin Qin put the sugar cake in his room and went to the kitchen to help Li Mo.

Everyone is not rich, and Zhang Dayong has a lot to eat in one meal as an adult, so Zhang Dayong specially ate lunch before coming to Lin's house. Because Zhang Dayong didn't know anything about how to set a wedding date, and because elders must be present to agree on a wedding date, he specially asked Village Chief Li to come over and help.

The two parties met and exchanged pleasantries for a while before getting down to business.

"Brother Qin and Yongzi are old enough and it's time to get married. I just looked through the almanac and found that the fifth day of September is a good day. What do you think???" Lin Han looked at Village Chief Li and Zhang Dayong and asked.

Zhang Dayong didn't understand this, so he could only look at Village Chief Li and let him make the decision.

Village Chief Li thought for a while. Although there were only more than 20 days left until the fifth day of September, farm weddings were usually very simple. It was perfectly time to prepare for a wedding, so he agreed to Lin Han's proposal. Village Chief Li thinks there is no problem, and Zhang Dayong will not object even more.

Seeing that Village Chief Li and Zhang Dayong had no problem with the wedding time, Lin Han stopped talking and started talking about the issue of Lin Qin's dowry. There were many weddings that were ruined because of dowry and betrothal gifts.

"You all know the situation of our family. We have prepared too much dowry and can't come up with it. It only has basic items such as bedding. However, I gave half of the compensation before and let Brother Qin use it as money to pay for the bottom of the box. In addition, I also I will give three taels of silver to Brother Qin, what do you think?" When Lin Han said this, he mainly looked at Zhang Dayong. After all, Village Chief Li said that he would act as Zhang Dayong's elder, but after all, he is not a real elder and cannot completely replace him. Zhang Dayong calls the shots.

To be honest, Lin Han's dowry is not very generous without the half of the compensation. If nothing else, let's talk about Li Mo. Village Chief Li prepared a minimum of eight taels of silver for him, four sets of quilts and other basic dowry surprises. , and even built a set of tables, chairs and benches for Li Mo to come with as a bride. On the day of the wedding, a full oxcart was packed, which made all the boys and girls in the village very envious. Some husbands and wives who had suitable boys at home even regretted not going to the village chief's house to propose marriage earlier, and letting the Lin family occupy it. Cheap.

Because of the dowry, Li Mo has always been able to stand upright in the Lin family. Even if he is not pregnant yet, his status is not lower than that of the pregnant Bai Xiuniang. From this, we can see how important the dowry is to a little brother in a farm family.

Village Chief Li didn't say anything when he heard this. He just looked at Zhang Dayong to see what he would say.

Zhang Dayong really didn't care much about the size of Lin Qin's dowry. After all, he wanted to live with Lin Qin, not with Lin Qin's dowry. Moreover, Zhang Dayong is a bit of a chauvinist. In his opinion, he has no ability to live with his husband's dowry. As long as Lin Qin is willing to live with him wholeheartedly, it doesn't matter even without a dowry.

Zhang Dayong thought so in his heart and said the same thing with his mouth. As soon as Zhang Dayong's words came out, the eyes of Lin Han and Lin Dazhu, the two brothers looking at Zhang Dayong, became a little softer. 尤其是林大柱和林二柱，哪怕之前林二柱一直觉得林勤嫁给张大勇不错，真到了订婚期的时候还是忍不住想揍一顿张大勇这个马上要娶走他宝贝弟弟的汉子。
