The county magistrate's son felt a little unhappy when he saw Liu Xiaohua looking at him.

But when he thought that this person was Miss Lin's mother, he suppressed his displeasure.

"Who is this young man...?"

Lin Dongming looked at the county magistrate's son and asked.

"Dad, let's talk about this later. Did you bring the IOU I asked you to bring?"

Hearing this, Lin Dongming hurriedly took out the IOU from his pocket.

"I brought it, I brought it. Dad came here immediately after hearing about it."

When the county magistrate's son sent someone to Xiangyang Village to call Lin Dongming, he told him the general situation of the matter.

Lin Jinshan didn't quite understand what he heard, but the situation was urgent and there was no time for Lin Dongming to ask in detail. Now that he was here, Lin Dongming's mind was full of questions.

When the two village heads heard Lin Jinlian talking about the IOU, they quickly took it out from their pockets.

"We've also brought your IOU. The date on it hasn't expired yet. What are you planning to do?"

The village chief asked doubtfully.

When Jiu Yue lent money to the Lin family, she said the maturity date was three months.

It's only been a few days? The Lin family already has the money to pay it back?

The village chief looked at Lin Dongming's family and shook his head silently.

Looking at the Lin family, it doesn't look like they can earn so much money in such a short time!

However, the young man next to the Lin family girl looked like a wealthy man, and he was accompanied by servants. I just don't know what the relationship between the young man and the Lin family girl is.

Village Chief Liu also thought of this.

"Lin Jinlian, who is the person next to you?"

Lin Dongming and his family are still able to stay in Xiangyang Village thanks to his son's plea. Otherwise, the villagers would have driven the Lin family out long ago.

"Village Chief Liu, the person next to me is the county magistrate's son."

When Village Chief Liu heard this, his face turned pale with fright.

"What did you say? You said this young man is the county magistrate's son?"

Seeing Village Chief Liu so surprised, Lin Jinlian raised her chin proudly.

"Yes, the county magistrate is kind-hearted. He was resting in this teahouse today and happened to encounter this incident, so he offered his help."

Lin Jinlian had a better goal, so she naturally didn't take the village chief's son seriously. Now she said this, she was not afraid of offending Village Chief Liu.

When the other three members of the Lin family heard Lin Jinlian say that the person next to them was the son of the county magistrate, they instantly felt proud.

Village Chief Liu looked at Lin Jinlian meaningfully.

It is no longer a secret in Xiangyang Village that his son likes Lin Jinlian.

It was precisely because his son liked Lin Jinlian that he helped the Lin family again and again.

I had gone to the Lin family before to propose the marriage between Lin Jinlian and my son, but the Lin family just gave me a perfunctory response.

Now it seems that there is a reason why the Lin family doesn’t want to talk about marriage!

This is treating your silly son as a 'spare tire'!

When Village Chief Liu thought of this, he was extremely angry.

But since the county magistrate's son was still here, he didn't dare to say much, for fear that if he offended the county magistrate's son, his family would suffer the consequences.

"Haha, really? Then Miss Lin is really lucky. Most people don't have such good luck as Miss Lin."

Lin Jinlian naturally heard the sarcasm in Village Chief Liu's tone. However, now that she had the county magistrate's son as her backer, Lin Jinlian was not afraid of Village Chief Liu.

"Ms. Lin, I've read this IOU. It's the same as the previous one. There's no problem. You can destroy it. Do you want to destroy it now?"

Lin Jinlian lowered her head shyly.

"I will listen to you, Master."

Lin Jiuyue spoke when she saw the IOU was burned.

"Now that the matter is over, I won't waste my time here with you."

Originally, I came to find Lin Jinlian, but who knew that Lin Jinlian would be so lucky? She actually ran into the county magistrate's son.

I guess my plan to send Lin Jinshan to the yamen and teach him a lesson won’t work.

"etc."

Before Lin Jiuyue even stepped out of the teahouse, Lin Jinlian called her down.

"Sister Jiuyue, you and I are cousins. We had some unpleasantness before because of some trivial matters. I hope that in the future, we can put aside the past grudges and continue to love each other like we did when we were little."

Lin Jiuyue looked at Lin Jinlian as if she was a fool.

"There's a saying that spilled water can't be recovered. Have you heard of it?"

Lin Jinlian frowned.

I am just a country girl, I can't even read a single word, how can I know those fancy things?

But isn't Lin Jiuyue illiterate? Why is she pretending to be so? She's acting like she can read.

"What does Sister September mean?"

Lin Jiuyue smiled.

"What I mean is, even though we are cousins, our two families have severed ties since the moment we fled the famine."

"We agreed that you two would go your way and I'll go mine!"

After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she looked at Young Master Yang who was standing next to Lin Jinlian.

"I still remember what I said back then. Even though you've hooked up with the county magistrate's son, my attitude hasn't changed."

When Lin Jinlian saw Lin Jiuyue bluntly telling her about how she had hooked up with the county magistrate's son, she subconsciously looked in the direction of Village Chief Liu.

Seeing that Village Chief Liu's face had indeed turned ugly, he cursed Lin Jiuyue in his heart.

Why did Lin Jiuyue always go against me? Was she born to be my nemesis?

"Haha, Sister Jiuyue, I don't understand what you're saying. What does our sister's affairs have to do with the county magistrate's son? Sister Jiuyue, it's better not to involve others."

Lin Jiuyue smiled.

"How can it be okay? Didn't the county magistrate repay the money your family borrowed from me? If it's really as okay as you say, would the county magistrate repay it for you?"

When Lin Jinlian heard what Lin Jiuyue said, she felt a little proud.

The county magistrate's son came here and helped no one else but me. Doesn't this mean he likes me?

Before, I was worried that Lin Jiuyue would tell this matter, which would make life difficult for my family in Xiangyang Village.

But then he thought, it would be good if the news of his marriage to the county magistrate's son got out. At least, his family wouldn't be like before, where anyone could come and step on them.

"Young Master, you helped me pay back the money because you were kind-hearted. I can't drag you down with me just because you were kind-hearted. Wouldn't that make me ungrateful?"

Hearing this, Lin Jiuyue rolled her eyes at Lin Jinlian.

Could it be that they are all good people and I am the only bad person?

It is only right to pay back your debts!

Considering what Lin Dongming's family did to the original owner, it was already kind of me to lend them money.

"Whatever you say is fine. Now that the matter is over, we'll keep our distance from each other. Goodbye. Oh, no, never see you again!"

After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she walked out of the teahouse without saying anything more.
