Chapter 34

Father Lin quickly made it clear to Aunt Fan and Aunt Guan, and rejected the marriage.

I thought this matter would end here, but within two days someone told Father Lin that Uncle Fan and Mrs. Guan were talking bad things about their family outside.

What else did you say? No wonder Lin Lao Er and Lin Lao San couldn't find a wife before.

Many people knew that Uncle Fan and Aunt Guan came to Jiahe Village to meet the Lin family on their own initiative before. After all, the two of them were not hiding anything from anyone. From Wangu Village to Jiahe Village, they talked about it even when they went to the town.

It seems that the marriage between the two parties has been finalized.

Now that the two of them made such ambiguous remarks, many people secretly speculated that many of them were not friendly to the Lin family.

Father Lin was furious, wishing to rush to Wangu Village to argue with them, but was persuaded by Lin Yan and the others.

As the introducer in the middle, Wang Xiu naturally couldn't sit still. Although she was in the same village as Aunt Fan Ashuguan, she was more psychologically inclined to the Lin family, so she ran to Jiahe Village immediately.

"Uncle, what happened?"

Father Lin said the matter angrily.

When Wang Xiu heard it, she was even angrier than him. She was the one who led the marriage. Now that the Lin family has suffered such a big loss, there is no guarantee that the Lin family will not blame her.

And she didn't expect Uncle Fan and Aunt Guan to have such an idea, she was very shocked.

"Uncle, I'm really sorry. I didn't know they were this kind of people. I just thought that the two girls are good-natured and hardworking, so I agreed."

Father Lin sighed, "Forget it, I can't blame you for this matter."

"Uncle, don't worry, I won't just let it go, how can I let them ruin your family's reputation everywhere?"

Wang Xiu walked away angrily.

Originally, I still wanted to go back to my mother's house, but now I don't go back, and go directly to Wangu Village.

"Xiu, what's wrong, who messed with you?"

As soon as entered the village, ran into aunt who was familiar with her. My aunt was shocked when she saw her face.

Wang Xiu took a deep breath, and said angrily, "It's not the marriage that I told Uncle Fan and Mrs. Guan's family earlier."

Uncle Fan and Aunt Guan have talked about this matter several times in the village, and both inside and outside the words are that the Lin family in Jiahe Village is not authentic, so the aunt became interested when she heard it, and quickly asked: "What's going on, tell me quicklySay."

A few passers-by also hurried over.

Wang Xiu sighed, "Auntie, you also know that Yueniang and Liniang and I often play together. They have a good temperament and work quickly, so when Uncle Fan and Aunt Guan begged me, I said nothing.If you don’t say anything, you agree immediately.”

The aunt nodded, "What happened next?"

"Who would have thought that Uncle Fan and Aunt Guan didn't rush to get married at all."

"Then what are they going to do?"

"Brother Yan, who came to our village to sell barbecue, everyone remembers? Because of him, the pork raised in our village is no longer worrying about selling, and his ice cubes are so cheap, none of us have benefited from him."?”

"yes."

"That's the problem. Uncle Fan and Aunt Guan are greedy for Yan Ge'er's craftsmanship, and they actually want Yueniang and Liniang to cheat other people's barbecue recipes. When they see it and reject it, they go around talking about his faults, auntieTell me, what is this called?"

The aunt was taken aback, "There is such a thing?"

Wang Xiu flipped a big Byakugan, "Fortunately, I was eager to match them up. It's a good thing. I'm not a human being. I don't know if Brother Yan will blame our pork."

Wang Xiu sighed again, "Auntie, what do you think we should do?"

Everyone's face changed immediately when they heard it. They were excited to eat melons, but now they lose interest when they hear about pork.

"Go, find the village chief."

"I'll go too. A good deal doesn't have to be messed up by the two of them."

"Let's go."

Wang Xiu followed them and also walked towards the village chief's house.

Before reaching the village chief's house, the news had already spread.Uncle Fan and Aunt Guan were still chatting with people at the door of their house, and they saw the village chief coming with a large group of people from a distance.

The two looked at each other, and a guilty conscience flashed in their eyes.

"Village Chief, you are..."

The village chief said in a deep voice, "What's going on with your marriage with the Lin family?"

Aunt Guan stared, "Isn't it because they changed their minds temporarily..."

She met Wang Xiu's eyes behind the village chief just halfway through, and Aunt Guan swallowed her words with a guilty conscience.

Wang Xiu snorted, "Ms. Guan, you go around saying that the Lin family has changed their minds temporarily, and it's not worth talking. Why don't you talk about your idea of making Yan's brother's barbecue recipe?"

Aunt Guan still wanted to defend herself, but seeing the eyes of everyone around her, she dared not speak up.

Uncle Fan asked anxiously: "Who said this, who said we came up with such a prescription, is it Lin Yan?"

Wang Xiu said angrily: "I thought it was strange in the morning, why are you so rushing, it turns out that your heart is so dirty."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Did I say nonsense that you all know yourselves, why don't you think about it for Yueniang and Liniang? If this kind of thing gets out, how can they get married?"

Uncle Fan and Aunt Guan stopped talking.

The village chief sighed, and said to Wang Xiu: "This is our Wangu Village's fault. You should talk to the Lin family and see what they say."

Wang Xiu understood what he meant and nodded in response.

Things quickly calmed down.

Father Lin was angry for two days and then gradually put the matter behind him.

In the past two days, people in Wangu Village have been talking about it everywhere they go.

Even going to town are talking.

This day, two people from Wangu Village who came to buy rice from the rice shop in the town happened to run into each other, and they brought the conversation to this matter within a few words.

The shopkeeper of Mipu accurately captured Lin Yan's name, and immediately became interested, "What's wrong with Brother Yan?"

"It's not Brother Yan, it's his second brother and third brother..."

There were not many people in the rice shop, and they didn't deliberately lower their voices. The people who bought rice next to them naturally heard it too.

One of the women, who looked to be in her thirties, moved her eyes. She remembered that her man's elder brother seemed to have married into a family named Lin in Jiahe Village.

I just don't know why haven't been back to mother's house all these years.

She listened for a while, couldn't help but leaned closer, and asked in a low voice, "Are there many people surnamed Lin in Jiahe Village?"

"Just talk about my brother's family."

The woman understood, she nodded and said: "That's it, that uncle of the Lin family should be my man's elder brother."

The people in Wangu Village were stunned, "How did I hear that Uncle Lin doesn't have a family?"

The person next to her corrected her, "It's not that there is no relationship, it is that there is no relationship."

"Why is that?"

The woman couldn't tell, "I'll go back and ask my man."

After a pause, she asked again: "Is the Brother Yan you mentioned just now Boss Lin who sold barbecue on Xishou Street?"

"Yes, that's him."

The woman recalled the hasty glance she had seen when passing by Xishou Street before, only to feel startled.

Boss Lin, who is well-known in the town, turned out to be her relative.

The woman didn't even buy rice and went home directly.

Father Lin's surname is Yan, Yan is the common surname in the town, and many families have the surname Yan.

When the woman entered, Yan Ju was lying on the bed in a daze, with several crumpled manuscripts scattered on the floor.

The woman sighed silently, bent down to pick up the manuscript, and said helplessly, "Didn't you say that Scholar Zhang has released a new commentary, have you borrowed it?"

Yan Ju said expressionlessly: "I went to the bookstore and asked, and the shopkeeper said that only Mr. Jiang has it."

The woman stopped talking. She remembered that her man had said that Mr. Jiang was very fond of Scholar Zhang's commentary, and that he and his man had never been on good terms.

After tidying up, the woman told Yan Ju what happened today, "I just went to the rice shop to buy rice, and they said that Boss Lin who sold barbecue on Xishou Street a while ago belonged to the Lin family in Jiahe Village."

Yan Ju only puts all his attention on studying, and he can't even leave the house on weekdays. Moreover, they live two streets away from Xishou Street, so they have never heard of it.

He didn't even think of his elder brother marrying into Jiahe Village.

The woman continued to remind him, "Have you forgotten, didn't you have an elder brother who married into a family named Lin in Jiahe Village?"

Yan Ju frowned and looked at her, "What brother?"

After he finished speaking, he remembered that he did have an older brother who married into Jiahe Village, but his parents never let him mention it, only saying it was embarrassing.

Almost thirty years have passed, and he almost forgot about this person.

"What's up with him?"

"Boss Lin was born to your brother. I heard that his barbecue business is very good and he has made a lot of money."

The woman looked at her man expectantly.

When she married back then, the conditions of the Yan family were acceptable, but over the years, because Yan Ju has not been able to pass the examination as a scholar, he has spent all the money in the family, and the family's situation is getting worse day by day..

From Yan Ju's name, it can be seen how much the Yan family's parents have placed on him, but the two old ones can only talk nicely, and let them figure out the money.

Seeing that the days are getting more and more difficult, the woman is really suffering beyond words.

When she heard that Lin Yan had made a lot of money today, she felt hopeful.

We are all a family, and what Yan Ju is doing is a serious business of studying, so he should be able to help a little bit, right?

In the future, Yan Ju will be admitted as a scholar, and then he will become a master of Juren. Then Brother Yan and the others will also be honored?

Thinking of this, the woman gained some confidence, "Master, let's talk to our parents, since your brother is doing well, can you let him help us?"

Yan Ju's face was livid, he had the loftiness of a scholar, but he also knew that life at home was difficult, if he had money, why would he read these scribbled manuscripts every day.

If he had money, he could also get Scholar Zhang's commentary as soon as Mr. Jiang did. It is not easy to be admitted as a scholar.

Seeing that he didn't object, the woman said happily, "I'll go to my parents and talk to them."

Yan Ju stared at her back for a few moments, then got up and kicked the few torn manuscripts under the bed.

The author has something to say:

Sorry for being late again, I will try not to be late tomorrow, but I still have today.
