Chapter 27 Zhao Family's Mind

After beating Zhao Dachong hard, Lin Laogen and Wu Qingyuan continued to slowly return to Lin's house.

Lin Laogen was not afraid that Zhao Dachong would look back and trouble him. Who is Zhao Dachong who has a bad mouth and dares to scold his baby, and besides, Zhao Dachong's character has always been useless.

Here, after the two left, Zhao Dachong really didn't have the courage to trouble him. Who made him unlucky today, usually relying on Lin Laogen's legs to take advantage, but today he met Wu Qingyuan for help, and he was beaten. deserve it.

Besides, it's not that he doesn't know who Lin Laogen is. When he encounters something about his baby, he can change from an honest person to a mad dog. Who would dare to be honest with such a person.

So this meal was a waste of time. Zhao Dachong could only cover his bruised face and go home by himself, but he was still very angry, and Lin Laogen was too serious. It's a fact that the brother of the Lin family is ugly, and he's right.

Going home depressed, Zhao's mother-in-law, Liu Shi, saw his appearance and asked, and he told what happened just now.

"So are you. You know what kind of temper the old guy Lin Laogen is, but you deliberately stimulate him and hit something that deserves it and doesn't have a head!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu from the Zhao family scolded her with contempt. She didn't mean to feel distressed at all. If she wanted to blame her, she also blamed her man for being brainless and tossing around.

"I'm telling the truth. Look at what this has made me. It's too heavy, no, this fight can't be in vain, old lady, you will go to the matchmaker tomorrow, and hurry up to beat Brother Lin. After my son was hired back, Lin Laogen hated his ugly brother the most. If he wants his little brother to live a good life in the future, will he dare to beat my in-laws?!"

Zhao Dachong was very unwilling, and gritted his teeth while covering his bruised face.

"You're still fighting. You know that Lin Laogen hates his baby, and you dare to teach him a little brother? Just marry him and work. If you dare to do other old things, you have to work hard with you, stupid!"

The Zhao family Liu Shi said angrily.

Her family's man is a brainless man. Lin Laogen's little brother can marry and go home to work, but he must not teach him a lesson. The former daughter-in-law and brother-in-law must work when he arrives at his in-law's house, but if he is taught a lesson, With Lin Laogen's character, he will never give up.

"But then again, as the head of the family, we should go to a matchmaker to quickly marry that little brother Lin Laogen."

"What? I just said, are you really going to find a matchmaker to propose marriage? That old man Lin Laogen will charge us two taels of silver as a dowry!"

Hearing his mother-in-law's words change, Zhao Dachong stood up smartly.

According to the village's wedding rules, the girl's dowry is one or two, and the younger brother is half a copper coin. Lin Laogen can't wait to find a husband for Lin Amo. He will never be hard on the dowry, but do it early A dowry with a generous dowry.

But this premise is that the person who came to propose marriage is a good family. The Zhao family's family background is not particularly good, but the Zhao family is bitter and powerful, and the popularity is not good. No one in the village wants to marry his family.

The Amer of the Lin family is so ugly, and the Zhao family, who has always been arrogant and snobbish, would go to propose a marriage. It is self-evident what the idea was. How could Lin Laogen be willing to send the child who was in pain in his heart to this family. Endured hardship, naturally disagreed, and after arguing with the Zhao family several times, they offered a dowry of two taels of silver, deliberately embarrassing, and wanted the Zhao family to retreat.

The Zhao family had no money, so an ugly little brother asked for a dowry of two taels of silver. Naturally, he was not reconciled, so the marriage proposal was over, thinking that the marriage of Lin Amo would be delayed for a long time. Now, the older you get, the less valuable it is. If no one wants to marry, his family will ask for it. Lin Laogen may post it upside down and beg them to marry.

But who knew that Lin Laogen was hard-hearted. Now that Lin Amo was almost nineteen years old, he still stayed at home, which shattered their family's idea of ​​picking up a bargain. It is also in the name of making Lin Amo's reputation worse, so he can only marry their family.

Two taels of silver to hire a little brother to go home is naturally not cost-effective, but special circumstances are special.

Mr. Liu dragged Zhao Dachong over and sat down again to continue talking.

"Two taels of silver to marry a little brother is a little bit more, but that brother Lin can work. It's not like you didn't see that he helped his father to serve the land since he was a child. It's well-known in our village. Tian, ​​and his father love him, there must be a lot of dowry, and it will not be a loss to marry back."

"But what if Lin Laogen doesn't give the dowry? Our family will lose money. We can't marry a beautiful girl like Haisheng for two taels of silver. We have to marry the ugly Lin family..." Zhao Dachong's gaze Very short.

"It's not wrong to say that you are a worm! If you don't give it, you won't give it. If he doesn't give the dowry, then Brother Lin will buy it back from our family. When people arrive at our family, we won't care what we want to do with Lin Laogen. , isn't it worthwhile to buy a strong laborer for two taels of silver?"

Liu shi rolled her eyes when she heard her husband's words.

"Anyway, let me tell you, even if Lin Laogen really wants two taels of silver, we have to hire his little brother back now. Just now, Haisheng asked someone to come back with a letter, saying that the promotion of the shopkeeper is almost certain. …”

"Really?!" Zhao Dachong was pleasantly surprised.

"It's still fake after I believe it a little bit?" Liu Shi also laughed.

"Haisheng wrote back a little bit and said that when he is promoted to the shopkeeper, he will immediately marry that girl Baozhu. You know, although that girl is really a girl, she grew up in Qian's family and served the old lady of Qian's family. Her clothes are better than our country people. She will be able to work when she gets married to our house? Can she treat her like a daughter-in-law in the village? Don’t forget that the shopkeeper of Haisheng relies on her, and you will be the one who will marry her back and provide for her. Should I serve you? If you don't hire Lin Geer back now, we will have to take care of you when the girl enters the door. And this year's autumn harvest, Haisheng can't come back to help, so we won't find another one. Labor, how can the two of us make it..."

Liu's analysis to Zhao Dachong one by one.

In fact, if it weren't for special circumstances, their family would not be willing to marry Lin Amo. Lin Amo could work, but there were many younger brothers who could work. Who would want to marry someone with the same betrothal gift? Going out to see relatives' ugly brother coming home?

But the problem is that her son has a golden daughter-in-law in the town, and the maid served by the old lady of Qian's house. Their son's promotion to the shopkeeper relies on this girl. She has a tough background. She will definitely not be like a daughter-in-law in the village when she comes to their house in the future. The same orders must be served by the ancestors.

Let the father-in-law and mother-in-law serve the daughter-in-law. How can these two couples be willing? Her family will definitely not be able to afford the servants, so put attention to the fact that no one wants Lin Amo. There must be a lot of dowry, ugly is ugly, but marrying home is a free labor and will never lose!

"Mother-in-law, you are right, you find a time to find a matchmaker, and quickly bring people home to work, I don't want to serve my daughter-in-law..."

Zhao Dachong is short-sighted, but his IQ is absolutely passable. Once Liu Shi finished analyzing the reluctance on his face, he disappeared and nodded.

Liu Shi naturally followed with a smile, and the couple were full of confidence.

................................

No one knew the conversation between the Zhao family and his wife, but Lin Laogen kept his mind after hearing Wu Qingyuan saying that Zhao Haisheng bought rouge gouache for other girls.

It's not that Lin Laogen is so smart, but what Wu Qingyuan said, if you put it in the ears of anyone in the village, it will be like this in Lin Laogen's position.

Whether in ancient times or in modern times, when a man goes shopping with a girl and says that the two are pure friendship, not many people will believe it, especially in ancient times when the relationship between men and women was more rigorous, this kind of behavior only existed between husband and wife .

Now that Zhao Haisheng is doing this, it means that he has recognized this girl as his wife, but the problem is that every time he returns to the village, he still goes to the Lin family to send things to help with his work. This is clearly a model of two boats. .

In ancient times, men could have three wives and four concubines, but the problem was that they were rich people, but very few in the village had two wives. Mr. Lin was not willing to marry the Zhao family at all, and now Zhao Haisheng still wants to hug each other. , but he was angry.

His son is clever in other aspects, but the only thing that is best to deceive is a blank relationship. He, as a father, naturally has to be careful.

So thinking about this matter in my heart, Mr. Lin stopped working in the fields and stopped working. He stayed at home all day. Even when he went to work in the fields, he didn’t feel as distressed as usual. He took Lin Amo with him. From time to time, he told him to walk away when he saw the Zhao family and not to deal with it!

He didn't tell Lin Amo about Zhao Haisheng's diligence on both sides. His son was originally rejected because he was not good-looking. If it was revealed that Zhao Haisheng, the only 'interested' person who was 'interesting' in him, turned out to be like this, Amer would have been hit hard. Don't despair about life in the future? So still don't know.

Lin Laogen didn't tell Lin Amo about the matter, and it was even more difficult for Wu Qingyuan to be an outsider.

Although he really wanted to let Lin Amo know, Lin Laogen's worries were not unreasonable. No matter how cheerful and optimistic Lin Amo was, the life that he had been despised since he was a child had already made him very inferior. don't know what it would be like to be sad.

So he didn't talk too much, but started to help Lin Amo manage his face. No matter what the Zhao family's crazy idea, Lin Laogen's vigilance is not so easy to achieve.

As for Amo, Zhao Haisheng was able to please him because no one liked him since he was a child. He didn't know what he liked at all. He just felt that no one wanted him. Zhao Haisheng was so good to him, he should be satisfied. The inferiority complex hypnotizes itself.

As long as you help him heal his face, let him not be disliked, and get equal treatment and happiness like a normal little brother, everything will be solved.

Chapter 28 The Hillside Ambiguous

Wu Qingyuan's current wood-type power level has reached the advanced level. It is not difficult to cure Lin Amo's face, and it does not take too much time.

But he is a prudent person. The last days have taught him too many things. He doesn't want to be regarded as an alien or noticed. He didn't plan to cure Lin Amo all at once. After all, Zaishi Huatuo is not that powerful. .

Before moving in while his house was dry, Wu Qingyuan, in addition to writing a plan for future carbon kiln sales in his room, learned the words of this world, and went up the mountain with Lin Amo to collect herbs to help him heal. Face.

The herbs grow deep in the mountains, and Wu Qingyuan did not know the way, so Lin Amo took him there. After leaving the village, he walked eastward along the river at the edge of the village, which was the way up the mountain.

Liushu Village is a village with a good standard of living. All the villagers make a living by farming. When they leave the village, Wu Qingyuan can see the entire Liushu Village as the center. There are large fields around.

It was already August, and the farmers in the fields were about to ripen and wait for purchase. The fruitful pastoral scenery had the tranquility of a paradise, which made people feel relaxed and happy. As he walked, he talked to Lin Amo to learn more about the small village story of this place.

In fact, there is no need for herbs to treat Lin Amo's face at all. Wu Qingyuan did this just to cover up, but the herbal medicine is not in vain. Although it can't treat Lin Amo's face, it also has other effects of conditioning the body. Beneficial and harmless.

He really doesn't understand medical skills, but in the past, there were not enough materials and medicines in the past. When the earth's environment quickly returned to its original state and developed into nature, the once-declined traditional Chinese medicine began to rise, and everyone used and understood medicinal herbs frequently. Up, he also learned a little.

Lin Amo didn't understand any pharmacology. He couldn't be more happy when he saw that he had dug up so many herbs. These were all for his face. With these herbs, he would look good, and no one would dislike him. .

So he was very enthusiastic about Wu Qingyuan along the way. He handed over the kettle and asked if Brother Wu was thirsty? After a while, passed the cake and asked Brother Wu if he was hungry? After a while, he handed over the sweat towel and said whether Brother Wu was tired? Do you want to wipe the sweat? He was chattering like a sparrow and kept talking, and it was quite right to say that he was a talker.

Wu Qingyuan is actually more peaceful, but he doesn't know why he is not bothered at all when listening to the nagging in his ear.

Especially the sweat towel that Lin Amo handed over, smelling the fragrance unique to young people, he suddenly felt a little heartbeat, and after wiping it, he was a little reluctant to return it.

"Amer, I'll wash the towel before returning it to you..."

Holding the fragrant sweat towel in his hand, Wu Qingyuan was really reluctant to return it. He put the thing in his arms and explained it, without giving people a chance to say no.

"Okay, Brother Wu, let's rest for a while. Let's continue picking when the sun is a little bit smaller. By the way, I also brought some fruit, you can eat one."

Lin Amo didn't notice his strangeness, nodded, and handed him another peeled orange, which was very caring.

Wu Qingyuan naturally did not refuse to take it. He ate a piece of orange and felt that today's fruit was very sweet, so he handed it over to Lin Amo. When he saw the other party eating the same orange as himself, he felt that his heart stopped for a moment. There is a feeling of fullness.

Lin Amo is not as careful as he is, sharing an orange is not an apple. The village is poor, and it is normal for everyone to share good things together.

While chatting while eating fruit, Lin Amo's eyes were sharp in the middle of the conversation, and suddenly he found a nest of bird eggs on the tree, and he was suddenly overjoyed.

"Brother Wu, wait for me below."

Putting down things, rolling up his sleeves, and saying something to Wu Qingyuan, he quickly and flexibly climbed up the tree without any scruples.

If Lin Laogen was here, he would definitely have to shake his head, sigh, and worry again. Because the normal little brother here is brainwashed by social rules, most of his characters are as reserved and quiet as girls, but Lin Amo never knew what restraint and quietness was. He dares to climb trees in the mountains and catch fish in the river, and he is not afraid of people in the village saying that he is used to it anyway, and his lively personality cannot be changed at all.

"Be careful."

Wu Qingyuan knew his character, so he didn't stop him, he just stood vigilantly under the tree and moved along, with his hands spread out in a protective gesture, his eyes staring at Lin Amo on the tree with a concern he didn't even know he knew.

"It's okay Brother Wu, I often climb this tree, it's cooked, wow, what a big nest of eggs..."

Lin Amo is not afraid of hanging on the tree trunk at all. He has a lively personality since he was a child. In addition to work, the children in the village like to go to the mountains and rivers to find all kinds of edible snacks. One of the must-have skills.

At his age, he is considered an adult in the village, but when he was a teenager, he was a teenager. It was when he was lively and naughty. When Lin Laogen was not there, he couldn't hold back his temper. resounded throughout the hillside.

Wu Qingyuan looked at the people on the tree, he only felt that the time slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye at this moment, the surrounding green all turned black and white, only the figure of the young man on the tree was full of brilliance, which deeply attracted him. His eyes touched his heart and emotions.

At this moment, when Lin Amo stretched out his hand to shake the bird's egg, a small snake suddenly appeared on the opposite branch, which startled him.

He exclaimed "Snake!", and his body instinctively retreated because of the fright. The branches on the tree were not wide enough, and his feet were empty, and he fell from the tree immediately.

"Amer!"

Wu Qingyuan's heart tightened, his feet quickly exerted strength, he jumped up, and reached out to catch the person.

However, although the person caught it, it was not stable. Although he has high supernatural abilities and good fists and feet, he is not the legendary martial arts master who can float on the water. In addition, Lin Amo is considered an adult after all. No matter how lean the body weight was, the impact of the fall directly caused both of them to fall to the ground.

Wu Qingyuan instinctively wrapped the person in his arms for protection, and rolled two circles with Lin Amo following the force of the fall before stopping.

When the two came back to their senses, Wu Qingyuan lay down on his back, Amer was lying on top of him, his slender waist was hugged by him, and the back of his head was also protected by his broad palm, their faces were only separated from each other. He reached the distance of a fist, and he could clearly feel the other party's breathing between his breaths.

Dong Dong Dong Dong... At this moment, the hearts of the two of them jumped quickly at the same time.

"..."

The close and intimate contact with his body made Lin Amo unable to speak, especially when he could clearly smell Wu Qingyuan's breath, a strong and unfamiliar breath belonging to a man, and the one on his waist hugging him tightly. His big hands made his face flush instantly.

He felt that his heart was beating so fast, his breathing was so hard, he was so nervous...

Lin Amo lay on Wu Qingyuan's body stiffly, and the two hands on his chest were tensely clasped, the strong masculine scent wrapped around him, so close that his breath became entangled.

He is thick-skinned and lively, but he is not ignorant. He wants to get up immediately, but his body is stiff and he feels that he can't move.

He didn't dare to look at Wu Qingyuan, his eyes were fluttering from side to side, his mind was confused and annoyed, his eyelashes moved slightly, like two butterflies falling on his eyes, the trembling frequency was shy and overwhelmed. Who has ever had such an intimate hug.

"......"

Wu Qingyuan looked at him and didn't speak, his breathing became slow, the hand holding him tightened little by little, his thin body made him reluctant to let go, and the trembling eyelashes made his heart move.

Such a strong feeling made him have a special feeling in his heart, and a certain thought flashed through his mind. It came suddenly, but it was so clear that it was irresistible. Something gushed out.

Let the cool breeze blow by, and it will not blow away the ambiguous heat of this summer.

"Brother, Brother Wu, what are you doing?"

It wasn't until a child's cry came from a distance that Lin Tianbao found the mountain and ran over to break the ambiguous atmosphere. Lin Amo finally regained his strength, broke away from the restraint and got up from the ground in panic and embarrassment, and separated.

"No, it's nothing. Just now, my brother accidentally dropped the bird's egg. By the way, Adi, aren't you at home? Why did you come up the mountain..."

Lin Amer explained in panic and flashed, and immediately changed the subject.

He didn't dare to look at Wu Qingyuan with his straight eyes at all, so he glanced secretly, and when he saw Wu Qingyuan looking at him, he felt panicked, lowered his head and shrank his neck, like a kitten whose tail was trampled on.

This reaction made Wu Qingyuan's thin lips reveal a smile, and he rubbed the hand that had just hugged him twice before nodding in agreement.

Lin Tianbao was a little naive. Although he felt that the two of them were weird, he didn't think much about it, he just thought why his brother's face was so red.

Touching Lin Amo left and right, he didn't find any injuries, so he nodded and said mysteriously, "Brother, you'll be fine. Of course I'm here to tell you good news..."

"What good news?"

"It's Brother Haisheng! Brother Haisheng came to our house to propose a marriage. Brother Haisheng was promoted to the grain store manager. Now he is sitting in the main room with his mother and the matchmaker. He brought a lot of things, two coconuts of various colors. Qiaoguo, three pieces of cotton cloth, yes, and a roast suckling pig, brother, you are so beautiful! Roast suckling pig, the villagers all came to our house to watch the fun."

Lin Tianbao's face was full of excitement.

Lin Amo's expression paused, and he stood there blankly.

Wu Qingyuan raised his head, and the smile on his lips disappeared.
