Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Lin Anran is treated like a monkey

After Lin Anran walked out of the room, the villagers gathered at the Lin family's house saw her and silence spread from inside the house to outside. Even the people who were lying on the wall of the Lin family's house to watch the excitement followed the crowd and shut their chattering mouths.

Lin Anran smiled widely. She only glanced at the people in the inner circle, and passed by those on the outer circle. "Everyone, keep talking. Don't pay any attention to me."

Everyone: "..." How could they not care? !

Although they said so, everyone couldn't help but stare at Lin Anran. There were too many people in Lin Village who had never seen Lin Anran's current appearance. How could just hearing about him before be as shocking as seeing Lin Anran in person?

"Anran!" Lin's father walked up to Lin Anran with excitement on his face, but suddenly became so nervous that he didn't know what to do when he saw Lin Anran's smiling face.

Lin Anran saw the dark-faced middle-aged man and was silent for a moment before breaking the silence: "...Dad, I'm back."

Dad Lin responded happily: "Hey! I'm glad you're back safely, I'm glad you're safe..." Dad Lin's eyes were a little wet, and he turned his back and rubbed his eyes.

Lin Anran looked at his father, then turned to look at his mother. She waved her hand and said, "I told your father what happened to you on the road. He was very worried and said he would have come to pick you up if he had known earlier."

"No need to answer it. I have two friends, Zhang Yan and Li Ming, to help me. Although we encountered danger, we were safe in the end." Lin Anran shook his head.

Mother Lin pulled Lin Anran aside and said, "It's too dangerous for a girl to walk around alone, and now you're..." Mother Lin looked at Lin Anran's face, still dazed for a moment. After she came to her senses, she pulled Zhang Yan and Li Ming to sit beside her and said earnestly, "I have to thank you two so much. It's so important that you were willing to accompany our Anran back home. Otherwise, if anything happened on the way, we would have no one to take care of us."

Li Ming is taciturn, and Zhang Yan is responsible for communicating with Lin's mother. Zhang Yan has always been good at speaking, and she can make Lin's mother happy with just a few words. She no longer keeps thanking her and is very close to Zhang Yan.

Lin Anran looked at Zhang Yan with admiration. Zhang Yan was so eloquent, so where could he not make money?

Brother Lin Anshan supported Sister Lin, whose belly was already very large, and sat down opposite. Then he sat down next to her. He said, "Anran, Anli and Anhua called home last time and told us not to be too surprised to see you. I asked them what was wrong with you, but they didn't say anything. Now you've become so unrecognizable that I can't recognize you."

Lin Anran: "Just recognize any one."

"Anran, why has your face become so white?" Mrs. Lin raised her hand to touch her face, looking at Lin Anran enviously.

"Just pay more attention to protecting your face, stay out of the sun, and apply some snow cream, aloe vera gel or something like that." Lin Anran smiled faintly, looking at Lin's sister-in-law Lu Xiaoye, and his mind simultaneously recalled some things about the original owner and Lu Xiaoye.

Lu Xiaoye's situation is somewhat similar to that of the original owner. She has been married to Lin Anshan for several years but has not given birth to a child, so Lu Xiaoye can empathize with the original owner. After the original owner divorced, she returned to live in the Lin family. Lu Xiaoye cares about the original owner very much, and the relationship between the two sisters-in-law is even better than before the original owner's divorce, but the original owner is more immersed in her own world.

Lin Anshan is a very typical big brother of this era. He is like a father and is very protective of his younger brothers and sisters.

With these memories, Lin Anran thought Lin Anshan and Lu Xiaoye looked kind, but she did not show much enthusiasm towards the entire Lin family. Perhaps her mother and father had already noticed this, so they reacted so strongly to Lin Anran.

Lu Xiaoye was puzzled: "Is this all right?"

Lin Anran: "That's it."

"Nothing else?"

"No."

Lu Xiaoye was half-believing and half-doubting. Lin Anran didn't intend to continue this topic. She liked being praised for her beauty, but it was not a pleasant thing to have others staring at her face all the time. The constant stares from the people around her made her feel like she was being looked at like a monkey.

"Sister-in-law, the baby in your belly will be born soon, right?" Lin Anran changed the subject and showed concern for Lu Xiaoye.

Lu Xiaoye carefully observed Lin Anran's expression, making sure that Lin Anran was not forcing herself. She said carefully, "It's almost time." She pointed at her face and showed it to Lin Anran. "Anran, look at these spots on my face. They're ugly, aren't they? I also like sour food. Everyone says I'm pregnant with a boy. I'd be happy if I really gave birth to a boy, but I also want a girl. If I give birth to a girl first, I can have a second child. It would be even better to have both a son and a daughter. But this one in my belly is really a boy, so I can't have a second child."

Lin Anran declined to comment, only saying, "It would be best if my sister-in-law gave birth to the baby safely."

Lu Xiaoye was stunned, reached out and took Lin Anran's hand, patting it gently: "Yes."

"Lin Anran, why are you running back to the village at this time of year? Why don't you stay in Shenzhen and work to earn some money?"

Lin Anran glanced at the villagers huddled in and out of the house. She wondered who had been the first to ask, unable to contain themselves. But they didn't even have the courage to approach her. Should she even be so kind as to answer? She didn't have a good impression of some of the villagers in Lin Village. Of course, there were still many good people in Lin Village, but there were always some troublemakers everywhere, and Lin Village was no exception.

Mother Lin glanced at Lin Anran and finally explained, "My Anran is back to transfer her household registration. Once the paperwork is done, she'll have to go to Shenzhen immediately!"

Lin Ma's words immediately sparked discussion among the crowd. Regardless of whether Lin Anran would answer the question or not, everyone had questions and they all shouted them out loudly.

"Change your household registration? Lin Anran, did you really take out a 120,000 yuan loan to buy a house in Shenzhen?"

"Lin Anran, how dare you borrow hundreds of thousands of yuan from the bank?"

"Lin Anran, why do you want to buy a house in Shenzhen?"

"That's right, so Lin Anran, you really made tens of thousands of yuan from stock trading in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange? And you used it all to buy a house?"

"Lin Anran, how many tickets did you win? Aren't you going to share the money?"

"Anshan's father and mother, you two are so confused. Lin Anran made so much money, and you let her use it to buy a house? If you let her send the money back, wouldn't you build a spacious and beautiful house back home? Even in our county, it's enough to buy an apartment, so why buy one in Shenzhen..."

Lin Anran only felt that there were hundreds of ducks quacking in his ears, which was noisy and annoying.

This is not over yet. These people who treat Lin Anran like a monkey have countless questions. Listen to the questions they raise next -

"Lin Anran, you made money by speculating in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, but you didn't even think about bringing the villagers along. That's not very kind of you!"

"Lin Anran, what's the mayor of Shenzhen like? Can you really pick up money everywhere?"

"Isn't it said that you can make a lot of money by setting up a stall in Shenzhen?"

"Lin Anran, tell me, if we go to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, what can we do to make money? Give us some pointers..."

Lin Anran: “…”

Lin Anran had a blank expression on her face and didn't want to talk. She let them argue as they pleased, and she remained unmoved.

When the villagers realized that they had been talking for a long time and were dry-mouthed, they discovered that Lin Anran and the Lin family had not listened at all!

The group of people felt very aggrieved, but they could do nothing about Lin Anran's family, so they could only stare blankly, but no one cared about them.

Lin Anran watched as Lin Ma and Lu Xiaoye made hair ties as if no one was around. Lin Ma also showed her how to make hairpins. It was indeed very simple to make hairpins. Lin Ma had nimble fingers and quickly made a hairpin. She then applied glue on it and stuck some shiny plastic on it.

Mother Lin felt a sense of accomplishment: "Look, Anran, these hairpins are very popular. Once they are put on the stall, they will sell out quickly."

Lin Anran pursed her lips silently. In her opinion, this hairpin was not beautiful, but rather too rough. She thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you try gluing some cloth decorations on the hairpin? For example, make small flowers out of brightly colored cloth and glue them on. It can be called a flower hairpin."

Mother Lin's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea!"

Lu Xiaoye was very excited: "Mom, I want to make flowers. Do you want big ones or small ones?"

"Make big and small flowers. I'll go find some red cloth. Red looks the best." Mother Lin went to get the cloth with great action.

Lu Xiaoye looked at Lin Anran and smiled, "Mom is right. Red cloth and red flowers are the most popular. A red flower hairpin will definitely look great too. Anran, you're amazing. You can come up with such a brilliant idea in no time!"

Lin Anran laughed: "I've seen a lot, but I don't know what color you like best. You can decide for yourselves."

"Going to Shenzhen really opens up a new world. Anli and Anhua called me a while ago and said they've seen so many new things and things they've never seen before. Sometimes I really envy you," Lv Xiaoye said, rubbing her belly. "Anshan didn't go to Shenzhen to work in order to be with me and the baby. I know he envies you and feels a little bit of regret."

Lin Anran: "Sister-in-law, if you and your brother have the chance to go to Shenzhen in the future, you must come and see us."

Lu Xiaoye shook his head. "I don't know how long I have to wait, but now my family listens to you and the business is gradually taking off. It wouldn't be bad if I worked hard. Besides, it's very dangerous to go out. Anran, what you encountered when you came back this time really scared us."

"Indeed, if you encounter danger on the road, it is real danger. Don't expect those people to be kind." Lin Anran thought of the two groups of people he met on the way back home. The first group of car thieves were obviously bad people, and the second group of unlucky road thieves were only interested in money. The reason why they and the other passengers were able to be safe in the end was because someone successfully resisted. If the resistance had failed, it is hard to say what would have happened.

"Dad Anshan, are you letting your eldest daughter leave us alone like this?" Someone older than him felt that Lin Anran had become arrogant after going out, and angrily blamed Dad Lin.

Father Lin was puzzled and asked, "What can my daughter say to you? If you want to know how to make money in Shenzhen, why don't you go to town and call your children to ask? Also, if your family has a way to make money, are you willing to tell everyone? Why don't you tell me first?"

The person who accused Lin Dad was choked. How could he tell others? Of course, he would make a fortune in silence! No, he had no way to make money, so he could only glare at Lin Dad in hatred.

Dad Lin didn't care at all. Ever since his family started doing business and making money to pay off the debt, Dad Lin has become more and more confident. In the past, he couldn't stand up straight and couldn't raise his head because of the debt, but now it's different. Not only can their family make money themselves, but they can also make money with other villagers. Today is different from the past. Lin Anran's family has the confidence to say "no". Money is the courage of the Lin family.

Lin Anran looked at Lin's father with curiosity. This Lin's father was very different from the Lin's father in his memory. He looked a bit like the father in his youth. When he was young, Lin's father was the pillar of the Lin family. Lin's mother was also energetic. Both of them looked younger than in his memory.

Sure enough, career is the best beauty product for men and women.

The villagers gathered at Lin Anran's house thought that they were numerous and powerful and could force Lin Anran to tell the truth and teach them how to make money. However, the fact was that Lin Anran ignored them and didn't want to say a word, because there were many people here who had spoken ill of the original owner before. Lin Anran didn't know how these people had the nerve to come to her and ask for advice.

These people finally left in disgrace, and their number was reduced by half in an instant. Many people who stayed behind wanted to ask Lin Anran about the affairs of Shenzhen City.

Lin Anran smiled at the people who stayed. It was no wonder that she was willing to smile, because these people had helped Lin Anran's family to some extent, so she answered all the questions she could.

Many people in Lin Village have only been to the town at most, and have never even been to the county town, let alone the city, the provincial capital or even out of the province. They cannot imagine the ever-changing world outside. But now some people in Lin Village have gone out, including Lin Anran, who was the first to go out to work, and the twins and their group of young people. The outside world has been torn open, and everyone is curious about what kind of world that is.

A simple-looking villager, the same age as Lin's father, asked Lin Anran sheepishly, "My child couldn't go to Shenzhen to work. His qualifications didn't meet the recruitment standards. If he wanted to work, how could he go? Are there any bosses in Shenzhen who would hire someone my age?"

There was the first person who asked, then the second, the third... Everyone looked at Lin Anran eagerly, their eyes full of expectation. Everyone already knew that they could make more money by working in Shenzhen than by farming in the village.

Lin Anran couldn't help but raise her hand and touch her forehead when she was stared at with such eyes. She knew that farming was difficult for farmers, and in fact it had been difficult since ancient times.

So now there is a clear path before us, how can we not be tempted?
