Chapter 266: Pretending Too Much

After determining the number of rooms, Ying Zhilin could no longer sit still.

"I will tell my brothers and sisters the good news right now." He stood up and went out impatiently.

Just as he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, ran back to the yard, and grabbed Wen Yan's hand. You Mo's deep eyes met hers without blinking: "Thank you."

Ying Zhilin's palm was huge, dry and warm.

Wen Yan's hand in his palm looked porcelain white and small.

It was so exquisite that he wanted to hold it in his hand and play with it all the time.

Wen Yan naturally pulled her hand back: "Hurry up, it will be dark if you delay any longer."

"Okay, I'll be back soon. Wait for me to come back and talk to you." Ying Zhilin turned around and left.

Wen Yan looked at his brisk back and felt that he was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Wen Yan first went to check Ying Zhihai's learning results, and then chatted with Brother Chen Qi and Grandma Wu for a while.

I learned that my second aunt has been very well behaved recently, without any trouble, and she even visits my fifth aunt from time to time to show her filial piety.

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!

If my second aunt's family were peaceful people, they wouldn't have caused all those incidents before.

"Brother Chen Qi, when you are at home, please pay more attention to that place." Wen Yan reminded

"Do I need you to tell me that?" If nothing unexpected happens, he will have to follow Wen Yan for the rest of his life.

To cause trouble to Wen Yan is to cause trouble to him, and he will not allow it.

Afterwards, Wen Yan went to inspect the paint workshop in the west wing.

Although the craftsmen were rough men who had retired from the battlefield, after a few months of learning, they had mastered the grinding technique.

The colors are chosen very carefully, and the pigments produced are very delicate and have good color fastness.

However, Wen Yan frowned: "Didn't I prepare cloths to cover your mouths and noses for you? Why aren't you wearing them?"

The foreman scratched his head sheepishly. "The cloth is too thick. It's uncomfortable to wear and makes breathing difficult. It's delaying our work."

"You have to wear it even if it's stuffy. There are a lot of tiny dusts in the grinding. If you inhale it into your lungs, you will get a serious illness." Wen Yan said seriously.

Wen Yan is usually smiling and kind.

It was the first time they saw her so angry, and they all felt guilty and didn't dare to look at her.

Wen Yan softened her tone and said earnestly, "You work to earn money, isn't it just to live a good life? If your health is broken, what's the point of earning more money?

Once you earn enough money, you can bring your important family members over.

I heard from Aunt Li that apart from working, you guys just stay in the yard every day. If you have nothing to do, go out for a walk more often. It will not only exercise your body, but also make you happy physically and mentally."

Wen Yan felt that he was being too polite, so he touched his nose awkwardly and left.

The craftsman was very happy when he heard that he could bring his family here.

From then on, everyone in the paint workshop wore cloth towels.

Ye Li often wanders around the village when there are fewer people around.

Many people in the village pointed and talked about their broken bodies.

However, after learning that they had retired from the battlefield, everyone showed respect to them and no one commented on them anymore. Instead, they would occasionally give them a cucumber as a snack.

Of course, this is all in the past.

Wen Yan returned to the main courtyard awkwardly, and saw Aunt Liu chatting with Fifth Grandma.

Wen Yan was delighted: "Aunt Liu, you are all back!"

"They came back the other day. The boss lady said they had almost finished learning, so she let me bring them back."

"These are the expenses for one month." She stuffed the account book and purse back into Wen Yan's hands.

“How is their craft?”

Aunt Liu immediately told her about several outstanding people, among whom was Xianglian.

Aunt Liu praised Xianglian highly: "This is the only chance that can change her family's fate. She studies very hard and seriously. I often see her secretly practicing in the middle of the night."

"Then notify them and have them come over tomorrow. I'll test them. Those with poor skills will be eliminated."

Hearing that there would be eliminations, Aunt Liu immediately perked up: "I promise to notify everyone one by one tonight."

Aunt Liu talked to Wen Yan for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, she said goodbye and went back.

Wen Yan stuffed two packets of snacks and a piece of fine cotton cloth into her hands.

It was dark in the blink of an eye.

After dinner, Wen Yan sat by the window to enjoy the cool air.

Her head was nodding and she was about to fall asleep.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance entered my nose.

Wen Yan opened her eyes and what she saw was a large bunch of lotus flowers.

White and pink, although the petals are closed, they are crowded together and look very beautiful.

"For you." A gentle and elegant voice came from above.

Ying Zhilin stuffed the flowers into Wen Yan's arms.

Wen Yan liked it very much and couldn't let go of the lotus flower. "Where did you pick it?"

Ying Zhilin looked around and said, "Before you went to Jinyang Prefecture, I promised to pick lotus flowers for you. I can't break my promise."

The more he avoids it, the more problems he has.

"You haven't told me where you picked the flowers?"

Ying Zhilin put his fist to his lips and coughed twice: "In the lotus field of the clan leader's family."

"I heard that the clan leader keeps a close eye on the lotus fields. If you pick his flowers, are you sure he won't chase you around the village?"

Ying Zhilin stood straight: "The clan leader is old and weak, he can't catch up with me."

Wen Yan burst out laughing: "Why didn't I realize you were so naughty before."

Ying Zhilin said, "I saw other kids doing this before and I thought it was interesting, so I wanted to try it myself."

Therefore, in order to take care of his younger siblings, he had always suppressed his true nature and forced himself to act like a steady adult.

Now that you have a family, you feel that you can provide for him, so you let yourself go?

The more Wen Yan thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case.

I suddenly felt that the burden on my shoulders was very heavy.

If we divorce after a few years.

Ying Zhizhi Lin has no one to rely on, so doesn't he have to suppress his nature and be that reliable and steady big brother again?

Wen Yan suddenly felt a little bit sorry.

She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then said to Ying Zhilin, "Don't worry, before I leave, I will definitely help you find a calm and reliable woman."

Ying Zhilin: “…”

It seems like I'm pretending to be pitiful, but I've done it too much.

"It's getting late, you should rest first." Ying Zhilin left in a depressed mood.

"Hahahaha..." A burst of laughter suddenly broke out in Brother Chen Qi's room.

Brother Chen Qi's face was twisted with laughter, and he finally fell to the ground, holding his stomach and rolling around.

Should!

Mr. Ying, I'll let you pretend to be pitiful and deceive my sister!

You're shooting yourself in the foot!

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Wen Yan: “…”

baffling!

**

No words were spoken that night.

The next morning.

Ying Zhilin was packing things for the exam in the house.

Wen Yan was helping out.

Aunt Liu came with the "ladies who cleaned their faces".

In order to test their learning results, Wen Yan and Pei'er were used as test questions and asked to clean their faces.

Wen Yan and Pei'er then give scores based on their abilities.

They were all very nervous and pushed and shoved, not daring to be the first to come.

In the end, Xianglian stood up.

You could tell she was nervous. She took a deep breath and said, "Let me go first."
