C19 To Return from Dejection
Hearing his words, Lin Yanyan became frightened and distanced herself from him:
"I'll talk to you properly, why are you scaring me with these words?"
"If cousin is someone who doesn't know etiquette, why don't I tell you today that men and women should avoid each other, especially when you speak to your future brother-in-law? Moreover, you just called your sister as stupid as a pig."
With that, Gu Huaijin stood up from his chair, he took a step forward, and Lin Yanyan unconsciously took a small step back.
Gu Huaijin looked at her timid appearance and smiled, "You'd better not let me hear any more insults from you. Otherwise, big sis won't be able to protect my pretty face!"
He actually didn't give her any face at all.
Looking at the tall and handsome man in front of her, she angrily lifted the curtain and walked in, but Lin Yanyan didn't have the courage to chase after him anymore. What should she do?
When he spoke to her just now, he truly felt that this man might have killed him.
The second aunt came to the back room and sat on the brick bed, wondering if her eldest uncle had prepared some snacks for her.
However, when she followed Lin Qingwan in, she saw her take a small plate of pine nuts and put it on the brick bed.
This stingy girl was becoming more and more shrewd. She actually knew how to hide things!
"Late at night. Didn't you say that we would be going up the mountain in a while? "Let's pack, I'll go with you."
Gu Huaijin walked in. He didn't even look at his second wife, who was still in shock.
Lin Qingwan didn't want the two of them to stay in her house, so she giggled and said to Second Wife Lin: "I'm going up the mountain with my Ergou. Aunt, if there's nothing else, let's go back first."
It was time for the departure order. Lin's second wife looked at Gu Huaijin who had not spent much time with her daughter, and was more or less unhappy.
However, he was afraid that his daughter would pester this young master and make him feel unhappy and offend him. Therefore, he left with a coy smile.
Who knew that the moment he stepped out of the door, he would see his own daughter standing at the entrance of the courtyard, completely disregarding the sun. She was holding the handkerchief in her hands, looking as if she had experienced something extremely terrifying.
"What are you still standing here for?"
From the looks of it, this Wulang of the Wei family probably didn't fancy his own daughter. Logically, he shouldn't have. His daughter was a famous beauty in the countryside. Could it be that the people in the city had high standards?
"Mom, let's go quickly!" Gu Huaijin, who was hiding behind Lin Yanyan, was already sweating profusely.
Seeing his mother come out of the house made him feel more at ease. He took a step forward and grabbed his mother's hand, preparing to leave.
Seeing that her daughter's appearance wasn't too normal, although Lin Erniang had a bellyful of words, she didn't want to ask about it here. Since she had nothing else to do, she brought her home.
"How is it? This cousin of mine is not bad, right? "
Lin Qingcheng asked as she turned around to take out a bag of pine nuts from the cupboard and put them in her bag. Then, she put some of them back.
Was this woman arguing with him?
Gu Huaijin couldn't see the attitude on her face.
"Since I came to the palace, not to mention all the beauties that come from all the different kingdoms every year, even the elective pretty girls, the lowest ranked maids in the palace have to be more beautiful than her. Furthermore, right now, you are the only one in my heart, how can I control her? "
Lin Qinglang was also a famous goddess in the Chinese Medical School back then. Those chasing her could line up from the laboratory to the school gates. What kind of sweet talk had she not heard before?
She quickly threw out the pine nut bark in her hand.
"Don't think that I'll believe you just because you said something nice. But I don't think it's safe for you to stay here. The person I met that day asked my second wife if there were any strangers in our village. If she sells you for ten taels of gold. "That's not strange at all."
Gu Huaijin smiled, "Don't worry. My people will be here in a few days. I promise they won't affect us with any incidents. I'm not saying that we're going up the mountain today. Take me with you."
Lin Qingcheng took a look at the sun outside and took out two straw hats.
"Take this with you, or else the Sun-headed Monster will bask in it." There are still four steamed buns left in the pot for me. We might not come back tonight. "
When she and her father were harvesting herbs, they were both at the outskirts of the mountain and had never entered the mountain.
It just so happened that her father was out. She wanted to go into the mountains for a few days to see if there were any more rare medicines.
Gu Huaijin didn't have anything to do either. Hearing her words, he put all the food in the pot into his bag.
The two of them locked the door and followed the village road into the mountains.
"Why are you back so quickly? How was your chat with that Wulang of the Wei family? " Lin Er's wife asked.
"Don't mention it, you're fierce, you're really a butcher. Just now, I told you that if I scold that idiot again, you're going to wipe my neck with a knife!"
Although Lin Yanyan liked rich people, in the end, she was still an ignorant countryside girl.
Hearing such threats, he was extremely frightened. Tears welled up in his eyes.
When Lin Er's wife heard her words, she thought to herself, "It's not good. This young master of the Wei family dares to leave his tender daughter behind. He must be a fool. Could it be that his brain has gone bad as well?"
Since he couldn't marry his daughter, he might as well take the ten taels of gold.
At noon, she went back to her room to cook. However, she also brought her daughter to her room and reminded her:
"Stop running around for the next few days and just stay at the entrance of the village. If there's a man in his forties asking around, tell him to come to our house."
"About forty years old?"
"Didn't they say that their young master ran away from the marriage, so the old master is in a hurry to capture him. If he finds someone, he can give them ten taels of gold. If you can't marry him, then we won't be at a disadvantage if we take this ten taels of gold!"
Ten taels of gold?
Just what kind of rich family were these? They were only looking for someone to bring home, yet they actually gave them ten taels of gold!
Lin Yanyan's gaze turned greedy. Although Gu Huaijin had just said some fierce words to her, she also felt afraid.
However, Gu Huaijin did not hurt her in the end. Presumably, it was because she had said something too excessive. After all, Lin Qingcheng and her father had saved her life.
No matter what, she must hook up with this handsome husband of hers!
