C30 Purpose

"Xiao Jin, I really like you." Tan Jun took a step forward, wanting to do something else.

"You, wait a moment!" Su Jin took half a step back, pointed at him and said.

Tan Jun halted his steps. Looking at her red face, he felt that she was too shy. At the same time, he knew in his heart that he couldn't be too anxious, or else it would be easy for him to scare her away.

He gently looked at Su Jin and said, "Xiao Jin, think about it carefully, you are 14 years old and I have reached the age where I should marry. I think we are very suitable. If you marry me, I will definitely treat you well."

"No, I think you've misunderstood, in fact —" Su Jin looked at Tan Jun, wanting to say something.

"Don't be in such a hurry to reject me. Little Jin, think about it carefully. I'm willing to wait for you." After Tan Jun finished speaking, he picked up the pastries and left, leaving Su Jin standing there.

She touched her cheek and slowly turned around.

What happened today caught her off guard. It turned out that her vague premonition was real. Tan Jun really had feelings for her, but the problem was, she had no feelings for him, Su Jin thought.

Although he was good-looking and did things quickly, she had never thought of such a thing!

He had to solve Tan Jun's problem as soon as possible. The next time he met him, he had to tell him about it.

Su Jin returned home with a headache.

However, in a place that she couldn't see, Tan Jun's eyes were constantly staring at her.

"You must be my Su Jin, and... Those things of yours will be mine too. " He recited it in his heart.

From the moment he first saw those looms, he knew that they were treasures. He had thought of how to take them back, but to no avail, he had to let his mother try. Unexpectedly, he succeeded, now that Su Jin hired her mother, he could get closer to her.

However, after a period of observation, he realized that Su Jin was the only one who knew how to create this machine. Fortunately, he had good clothes and a good leather bag. Su Jin didn't seem to hate him, so he could let her marry him. This way, those looms would naturally become his property.

With those machines, how could he be afraid of losing money? Thus, he must get this Su Jin.

He looked at Su Jin's back as she left. The corner of his mouth raised up and he unconsciously let out a sly smile.

After Tan Jun left, two people walked out from the shadows at the side of the road. Looking at the people in front of them, they were all dressed up as Dai Zixian.

"Go find out more about this Tan Jun." Dai Zi smacked his lips and coldly spat out a sentence.

"Yes." The dark figure cupped his hands and took a step back before disappearing into the shadows.

Dai Zi Shi looked at the empty street in front of him, then closed his eyes to cover up the cold glint in his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he was once again the elegant and refined young master of the Dai Family.

"..."

Su Jin couldn't do anything, she could only follow him from the side, leaving Tan Jun's matter at the back of her mind. For the rest of the time, she threw herself at the remodeling of the remaining machines, taking a full six days to finish reconstructing the remaining machines.

Dai Zi Shi acted like he was staring at her parents, once Su Jin finished her work, he would send someone over to invite her over.

"Have the three machines been modified?" Dai Zi Wu didn't even look back, he only gave her the back of her head and poured the charcoal into the brazier.

"How do you know?" Su Jin entered the house and sat down cross-legged. She reached out her hand towards the brazier and began to move her fingers.

"That old man from the blacksmith's shop mentioned it to me." Dai Zi said.

"So that's how it is." Su Jin nodded, "I'm done."

She took the account book Dai Zixian handed her and began to look through it.

"The caravan has set off again. I think it will take them another half a month to come back."

"Oh." Su Jin nodded, her eyes never leaving the account book.

Dai Zixian let her do as she pleased. She looked at the account book and he looked at the top of her head.

Su Jin didn't notice anything unusual. Ever since the Lantern Festival, she and the little landowner got along quite casually. The little landowner didn't seem to care about his status, and she also felt comfortable getting along with him as a normal person.

Just as he was looking, he heard the little landlord ask, "Your family …"

"What?" Su Jin raised her head.

Dai Zi Shu met her gaze and opened his mouth, but was still unable to find anything.

"Nothing." He then stood up and entered the room.

Su Jin shrugged her shoulders. She didn't understand what was going on. She looked at his back, and after a while, she lowered her head to look at her account book.

Dai Zixian sat in the room and shook his head in frustration.

He had actually wanted to ask about Tan Jun just now, as if he was possessed, but luckily he stopped.

"I'm done reading." Su Jin stayed outside for a while before speaking loudly to the room.

"I'll be leaving first." She put away the account book, and seeing that Dai Zixian had no intention of coming out, she went out and lightly closed the door.

Just when the news about Su Jin and the Dai Family's young master started to spread throughout the town, on the other side, the entire Su Family Village was in an uproar.

"Do you know that the daughter of that noble son is related to the Dai family in the town?" In the moment of idleness, a woman opened the topic.

"How do you know?" The other woman stopped rubbing the rope.

She works in your wife's house. My god, you didn't see the money she brought back. We still can't get that much even in a month, so your wife must be very rich. "Fugui's wife told me that it was her daughter who was in charge of your daughter-in-law's family. It was she who was involved with the Dai family." the first woman said admiringly.

"That's really something, who doesn't know about the Dai family. They have a famous landowner, and if that girl had the ability to stay in his house, even her root hair would be thicker than our waist!" Another woman clicked her tongue.

"That's right. A few days ago, I went to the town to sell my soles, but I also heard people in the town say the same thing. That bastard wife was my sister, so she asked me if I knew about this!" A woman in the corner answered.

Immediately, the room became rowdy as the women chattered about Su Jin's family background.

"Humph, her family is poor and has been married to the Dai family for half a year. Who knows what dirty tricks she used. That girl called Su Jin looks like a wanton playboy." A sharp voice resounded from the crowd.

The women turned around and saw that it was Meng Shu. She angrily operated her machine, and when she saw everyone looking at her, she let out a sneer and said loudly, "No matter what we say, people will start to pay for what we did. That is something we village people know about, think about the last time you saw them come back, it was glorious, but sadly, people don't want to recognize us poor relatives anymore, heh." She sneered and lowered her head to continue her work, leaving the rest of the group looking at each other in dismay.
