Chapter 22

As soon as Tan Xin arrived at the door, he heard his parents scolding him inside.

He frowned, resisting his disgust and pushing open the door.

When Niu Guixiang saw him, she frowned and said, "Why did you run out again? Why doesn't your brother know how to stay at home?"

Tan Xin walked to his room without saying a word.

Father Tan gave Niu Guixiang a wink, and Niu Guixiang immediately relaxed her brows and changed her gentle face, "You came back just in time, mother has good news for you."

Tan Xin stopped and looked at his parents suspiciously.

Father Tan avoided his sight.

Niu Guixiang came over to pull him, and said with a smile: "It's not about your marriage with Mr. Zhang, we have agreed, he will give us ten taels of silver back, the time is set by our family, I think it will be next month..."

Before he finished speaking, he was thrown away by Tan Xin, "Mother, what are you talking about, what is my marriage with Mr. Zhang?"

Niu Guixiang was already mentally prepared for his reaction, so she softened her voice and coaxed: "Master Zhang came to our village to make troubles, who else can you marry now besides him? We have discussed the ten taels of silver, here you areWuliang is close by, so as to save the Zhang family from being bullied."

Tan Xin glared at her angrily, "I don't want to marry Mr. Zhang, I..."

Father Tan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly jumped up and said angrily, "With your current reputation, if you don't marry Mr. Zhang, who will you marry?"

"Isn't my reputation ruined by you?"

Seeing that Tan's father was about to violently beat someone, Niu Guixiang quickly stopped him, "Why are you talking like that, your marriage with Mr. Zhang was not the one that was discussed by your father, if it wasn't for your father, where would you get ten taels of silver?"

Tan Xin sneered, "Scholar Zhang gave Lin Yan a gift of one hundred taels, and he also built a house for his family. Master Zhang bought you off with only ten taels?"

Niu Guixiang's face was very ugly, "One hundred taels, I want one hundred taels too, Scholar Zhang doesn't like you, what can I do."

These words successfully hit Tan Xin's lungs, and his voice immediately raised an octave, "Do you know why Lin Yan was able to marry Scholar Zhang? Isn't it because he climbed into Scholar Zhang's bed first, and his father gave herThe medicine he gave!"

"What are you yelling about? You don't think our family is ashamed enough? Who are you yelling for? Why don't you go if you have the ability, otherwise this marriage will be yours, and I will be a scholar."

Tan Xin stared at his mother with a ferocious expression, and after a while he suddenly turned and went back to the house.

Father Tan frowned, and was about to complain about Niu Guixiang when Tan Xin came out again, carrying a bundle in his hand.

"What are you going to do?"

Tan Xin said "go to the county" and then left without looking back.

Father Tan and Niu Guixiang were stunned, and Tan Xin had already run away when they recovered and chased after him.

"What did he go to the county for?"

Niu Guixiang whispered, "You're not going to find Scholar Zhang, are you?"

Father Tan glanced at her sideways, "I don't think he will be reconciled if he doesn't get rid of the family's reputation. This is the good brother you raised. Find him and send him to the Zhang family early tomorrow morning.".”

Niu Guixiang didn't dare to speak, so she could only glance towards the entrance of the village.

She was still a little worried about Tan Xin.

Father Lin couldn't stay idle, he didn't even want to drink his saliva when Lin Yan said that he was going to collect seafood, so he hurriedly dragged Aunt Lin out as soon as he got home and put away the things.

Seeing that the life at home is getting better and better, his heart is warm and energetic.

The village chief’s family is the only family in Jiahe Village with fishing boats, so the variety and size of seafood in his family are much better than those of other families, and they can make a living just by going to the town to sell seafood.

There are three children in the village chief's family. The eldest son is married and has a son. The second is a daughter who just married into Yanxin Village last year. The youngest is an older brother, Du Yuan.

In the absence of the village chief for the past two days, the elder son and daughter-in-law are responsible for going out to sea.

Du Yuan is timid, so he usually picks up some small ones on the shore.

Father Lin stood in front of the courtyard and shouted, "It's from the village head's house."

Soon Aunt Qin poked her head out of the room, with a smile on her face, and she spoke enthusiastically, "The Lin family is here?"

Father Lin was stunned for a moment.

In the past, because of Lin's father's relationship, the Lin family was regarded by everyone in the village. Every time Father Lin went out to talk to people, they always looked wary, for fear that he would ask for money.

Although Father Lin has never done such a thing.

Ordinary villagers are fine, but the village head's family is different. The reason why the village head is called the village head means that he is responsible for the operation of Jiahe Village.

If the Lin family really asked them for any questions, they should have an attitude.

So in the past, what Aunt Qin was most afraid of was the Lin family's visits, even though they only asked about small things every time.

But it's different now. Lin Yan got engaged to Scholar Zhang, and now he's starting a business again. Seeing that the Lin family's life is going well, the wind direction in the village has naturally changed.

Aunt Qin wiped her hands, and walked over to open the courtyard door for them with a smile, "The Lin family, Mrs. Lin, why are you here? Are all the hot and sour sauce sold out today?"

Father Lin smiled, "It's all sold out, no, I just came back."

Seeing that the two of them were about to exchange pleasantries, Mrs. Lin hurriedly said, "Aunt Qin, Dad and I came here to ask if your family has any fresh seafood."

"Seafood?" Aunt Qin's eyes lit up, "Did your brother Yan want it?"

"Yes, my family doesn't have time to go to the beach these days. I think your things are good, so come and see if I can collect some."

Aunt Qin quickly led them inside, "It's a coincidence that you came here, my boss just came back, and everything is in the bucket, take a look."

There are a few huge wooden barrels in the corner of the room, which contain all kinds of seafood, most of which are not named by Father Lin and Sister Lin.

"My brother Yan said that these common five-cent a catty, and the rare ten-cent a catty, are weighed together with the shell."

Aunt Qin was still wary of their low price in her heart, she didn't expect Aunt Lin to give such a high price as soon as she opened her mouth.

Those clams that can be picked up by the sea, usually they work hard to carry to the town, most of them can only be half sold and half given away.

And those rare and most expensive ones can only be sold for five or six yuan a catty, and people will pick and choose, thinking that they bumped into each other on the road.

Aunt Qin took a deep breath, "From the Lin family, what you said is true?"

Father Lin nodded, "It's true, but my brother said that it must be fresh, not dead ones."

"It's natural, why don't Haiweier just draw a fresh word?"

Aunt Qin, as if she was afraid that Aunt Lin would regret it, hurriedly called out her son and daughter-in-law, and fixed the price on the spot.

Because the grill hadn't arrived yet, they left after talking.

After leaving the village chief's house, Father Lin and Sister-in-law Lin went to Uncle Yuan's house again, which Lin Yan specifically explained.

Uncle Yuan and Aunt Yuan were overjoyed when they heard that they came to collect the seafood. Both of them were not stupid, and after a little summing up, they understood the intentions here.

Their family didn't have a fishing boat, and the seafood they could catch on weekdays was no different from that of Lin's family. Lin Yan thought that they were just because they rented their family's ox cart.

In fact, Lin Yan would send them some sauces from time to time on weekdays, and now that they are receiving seafood, they are not forgotten. The couple are very grateful to Lin Yan.

Uncle Yuan's father Lin and sister-in-law Lin can still understand, but sister-in-law Zhou's family can't figure it out.

Why did Lin Yan go out of his way to visit Mrs. Zhou's house?

"Maybe it's because the Zhou family is next door to the scholar's house?"

"Maybe."

In fact, Lin Yan was too embarrassed to say the real reason. It was thanks to Brother Zhou's sister-in-law Zhou's help the night he first wore it, otherwise he would have been discovered.

Brother Zhou and sister-in-law Zhou were also confused, thinking it was Zhang Moyuan who explained it.

In this way, the three families ran down one after another, and the news of the Lin family collecting seafood in the village spread widely.

The entire Jiahe Village knew that the Lin family's business had grown, and the prices they offered were quite high.

For a while, everyone was so hungry that they all carried wooden barrels to the beach, desperately looking for those rare seafood, and wanted to sell them to the Lin family.

With such a big commotion in the whole village, it is impossible for the Lin family not to know that Big Brother Lin has never followed them to the town, so he was a little worried after hearing the price, "Yan'er, can you still make money with such a high price?"

Lin Yan smiled, "Don't worry."

In fact, it is still cheap.

When Lin Yan went to the town before, he learned that apart from the recognizable fish, shrimp and crabs, other unnamed fish are mixed together and sold whole.

For example, the price of the big oyster razor clams is not comparable to them in modern times.

Moreover, the price he gave was higher, and everyone worked harder, which saved him the time of picking.

Two days later, Boss Jiang brought over the baked ceramic oven. After careful inspection, Lin Yan nodded and paid the money.

The trolley arrived before. According to Lin Yan's request, Carpenter Tang reserved a pit on the right side of the trolley for the barbecue pit.

At the same time, a thick board was added underneath for support.

There is also a tandoor next to the pit of the barbecue pit. The tandoor is dual-purpose. It can be used to cook seafood in a pot, or it can be directly used to bake things with an iron net.

Carpenter Tang also carefully helped him write the character "Lin" on the front.

Lin Yan was very satisfied.

When pushing the small cart to go out, Father Lin almost narrowed his eyes when he smiled.

Mrs. Lin wanted to help him but she refused.

Lin Yan was at the end. Looking at the happy backs of Father Lin and Sister Lin, he felt that he had really integrated into the current environment.
