Chapter 10

Qiu Wenfu is used to being domineering. His family is the richest man in the county and has close contacts with the county magistrate, so he dared to blatantly bully Zhang Moyuan, a scholar.

The county where they are now is called Yanhai County, named after the government opened a salt-making workshop in Yanxin Village below.

The three elder brothers of the Lin family worked in the salt workshop.

Zhang Moyuan remembered that the current magistrate of Yanhai County was called Ji Gaochi, who was executed three years later for smuggling official salt, and the one who helped him here was the Qiu family.

Now, Zhang Moyuan doesn't mind bringing this up earlier.

"Are you here for the newly produced salt in Yanxin Village?"

Qiu Wenfu's arrogance that was still high just now collapsed instantly, and he looked at Zhang Moyuan with a look of surprise.

Did he know something?

Before coming here, Qiu Wenfu's father told him thousands of times that this batch of salt is very important, and no one else should know about it.

The crime of smuggling official salt is known to illiterate children.

Zhang Moyuan thought thoughtfully, "Aren't you here to buy salt?"

Qiu Wenfu immediately relaxed, he had that incident in his heart, but he forgot that ordinary people would go to the salt workshop to buy salt to eat.

"Of course, otherwise, what else can I do here?"

Zhang Moyuan didn't miss the trace of guilt in his tone.

"Then you should go earlier, it's getting dark soon, and it's not easy to transport the extra salt you bought."

Zhang Moyuan left after speaking.

Qiu Wenfu was left frowning and watching his back.

Zhang Moyuan said it lightly, Qiu Wenfu really couldn't tell whether he pointed at him on purpose or said it unintentionally.

After all, their Qiu family is a big family with a large population, and there is indeed a lot of salt to buy on the surface.

Before he could figure it out, Zhang Moyuan had already gone far.

Qiu Wenfu cursed viciously, and let this kid run away again!

When Zhang Moyuan returned to Jiahe Village, it was just getting dark.

With his hands full of things, he walked towards Lin Yan's house.

He was very careful along the way, so that no one else could see him. After all, the marriage proposal was just to ask Lin Yan to marry him, but if someone saw him, it would be equivalent to a final decision.

The Lin family will be put on the high platform of public opinion.

This is the case in the village. As long as the two families start to get in touch, it is almost done in the eyes of other people.

Zhang Moyuan didn't have parents, so he had to do it himself when his parents came forward.

As soon as he walked to the corner, he saw a short and wretched man standing there.

Zhang Moyuan recognized at a glance that it was Lin Yan's father.

He stuffed everything into the bag before walking over, "What do you want to do?"

Father Lin was taken aback.

He gambled outside for the past two days, and after he lost it all, he came back to ask for it as usual, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Lin Yan beat him out with a broom.

The three sons didn't know what was going on, as if they had eaten the guts of a leopard, they followed Lin Yan to drive him away.

Even Father Lin didn't look him in the eye.

This was completely different from what he had experienced in the past, and Father Lin was stunned.

After recovering from his senses, he immediately raised his voice and wanted to make a scene as usual. The big guys who made a scene gathered around to watch, and Father Lin felt ashamed and naturally sent him away with money.

As soon as he uttered his voice, Brother Linsan gagged him with a rag and threw him out the door.

Then they simply closed the door.

When Father Lin went in just now, he could see clearly that they were eating beef noodles.

A thick layer of beef was placed in each person's bowl, the brown soup was shiny with oil, and the aroma wafted out of the room along the air.

He originally thought that he would eat after all the money, but now he has no money and no noodles.

I can only listen to the laughter inside.

He is the head of the Lin family!

Zhang Moyuan glanced at the closed door of Lin's house, and probably understood what was going on.

"Who are you?"

Father Lin panicked for a moment, but he quickly recognized that it was Scholar Zhang, so he immediately changed his face and said flatteringly, "Scholar Zhang, are you here to find my family?"

He said "Yan'er" in this tone, which made Zhang Moyuan feel disgusted.

"You want money?"

Father Lin nodded immediately, "Xiucai Lang, do you have money on hand, can you lend me some, don't worry, I will pay you back as soon as I win."

Zhang Moyuan was too lazy to talk to him, so he directly took a handful of copper coins from his sleeve and gave it to him, "In the future, if you need money, you can ask me directly. If you ask the Lin family again, the money will be gone."

He gave it so readily that Father Lin couldn't even believe it.

"Is this money really for me?"

"Do not want?"

"Yes, yes."

Father Lin rushed over and snatched the money away, with a greedy look in his eyes, "Xiucai Lang, I will make the decision today, I will marry my brother Yan to you, when will you come to propose marriage, the gift money is going to be given to you!"How many?"

Zhang Moyuan ignored his words, and only said: "From now on, you will ask me for all your gambling money, but I have a condition. You are not allowed to ask the Lin family, especially Lin Yan, and you are not allowed to tell this matter."

Of course Father Lin agreed, "I know."

"roll."

Father Lin ran away immediately.

Zhang Moyuan slowly looked away.

To deal with this addicted gambler, only indulgence can achieve the desired effect.

When he walked to the door of Lin's house, his eyes had changed, and he couldn't see the ruthlessness just now.

Hearing the knock on the door, Lin Yan's first reaction was that Father Lin came again.

But after thinking about it again, feel wrong, how could Father Lin knock on the door so politely?

It would be nice if he didn't slam the door.

"Who is it?"

A voice like a jade pendant spring sounded outside the door: "Sorry for the interruption."

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, what was Zhang Moyuan doing so late?

Father Lin and the others didn't even remember who it was.

Who in the village has such a nice voice?

Lin Yan walked over and opened the door, "Why are you here?"

The first time they saw Zhang Moyuan, Father Lin and the others felt cramped, and subconsciously began to arrange their clothes.

Zhang Moyuan smiled slightly, "Lin Yan, can I go in?"

Before Lin Yan had time to speak, Brother Linsan said, "Okay, brother, quickly let Xiucai Lang in."

Lin Yan: "..."

"Then you come in."

As soon as Zhang Moyuan entered the door, he called Father Lin, "Uncle Lin."

Father Lin was so flattered that he didn't know where to put his hands.

Lin Yan sat back and continued to eat noodles, but Aunt Lin tried his best to wink at him, so he could only raise his head and ask Zhang Moyuan, "Have you had dinner? I'll make you a bowl of noodles?"

Zhang Moyuan shook his head, "No, I'm here today to see Uncle Lin."

After speaking, he took out all the things in his hand and put them neatly at his feet.

Father Lin took a closer look and was dumbfounded.

Isn't this an object for marriage proposal?

And there are so many preparations, so neat.

The scale of this kind of marriage proposal is very face-saving when it is said, and it is worth bragging about.

Father Lin looked at Zhang Moyuan suspiciously, and then at Lin Yan who was silent, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Yaner?"

Lin Yan didn't understand the etiquette of proposing marriage, but he could understand Zhang Moyuan's eyes.

He pulled Zhang Moyuan aside and whispered, "What do you want to do?"

Zhang Moyuan said honestly, "I want to marry you."

Lin Yan: "..."

"So, these are the betrothal gifts you brought?"

Zhang Moyuan shook his head, "If you agree, it's a dowry gift. If you don't agree, it's a gift from Uncle Lin."

Lin Yan was stunned.

He suddenly understood why this person chose this time to come.

If he had come during the day, he probably would have no chance of refusing.

Even if he insisted on rejecting Zhang Moyuan, then there would be no talk about his future marriage.

Although Lin Yan didn't think about saying anything, but it's quite touching to have someone think so much about you.

"Such a heavy gift, you just give it away?"

It sounds like he declined.

Zhang Moyuan was not disappointed either, "It's not heavy, it should be."

"So many things should cost a lot of money, don't you feel bad?"

Zhang Moyuan shook his head, "Then remember to eat more."

Lin Yan chuckled.

What's the matter with this person, obviously looking at such a shrewd and wise person, how stupid and stupid at the moment.

"You really want to marry me, just because of what happened that night?"

"more than."

Lin Yan smiled, "What else?"

It's only been a few meetings, so can't fall in love with him.

"I like you."

Lin Yan: "..."

It really is.

"Since when did you fall in love with me?"

Zhang Moyuan thought for a while, and said seriously: "It's the first time I saw you."

I fell in love with you at first sight when came back from rebirth.

In fact, Zhang Moyuan didn't realize it at the time, he only confirmed it later when he thought about it.

In fact, the way he envisioned to save Lin Yan in his previous life was not the way he is doing now.

But the first time he saw Lin Yan after his rebirth, he didn't remember anything.

Lin Yan lowered his head and whispered, "At first glance, it's been a while."

It should be the original owner at first glance.

"Soon, that night."

Lin Yan suddenly looked up at him.

"That night, the first time I saw you, you snorted and asked who I was..."

"Don't, don't say it."

It's embarrassing.

The author has something to say:

To marry a daughter-in-law, you have to save enough money first!
