Chapter 17: No More Engagement
The captain also had his own little plan in mind.
He did not force Lin Qing to work, but asked Lin Dahua, "The Zhao family is not doing a good job. What do you two think? Are you going to cancel the marriage or not?"
Of course Lin Dahua wanted to quit, but his daughter said that he had to drag it out now.
So he kept silent.
I won’t tell you, you think about it yourself.
The captain thought that the Lin family did not want to retreat, so he shook his head and left.
Turning around, he scolded those rude people in the field.
"You only stare at other people's children and not your own. Starting tomorrow, your child will also have to go to work every day."
The gossiping woman stopped talking and said, "My child has been feeling unwell these past two days."
"What's wrong with you?" The captain glared at him, "I think it's your lazy body that's uncomfortable."
As soon as the team leader got angry, Lin Qing's plan to go to work came to nothing.
The team leader is not stupid, and he cannot let the members think that he favors the Lin family.
He found a few confidants and complained, "These old women don't know the seriousness of the matter. Dahua's San Ya was just being rejected, and she jumped into the river after hearing someone's gossip at work. Who can give Lin Dahua a daughter as compensation?"
The word spread unknowingly.
Many old women also realized that this was the truth and they almost got themselves into trouble.
I felt a little scared for a moment.
No one talked about whether Lin Qing went to work or not anymore.
Besides, how much work can a delicate girl do?
Old Mrs. Zhao was grinding her teeth at home.
I don't understand.
How come Lin Dahua, who has always been honest, suddenly becomes talkative?
Since he couldn't force anyone out, he sent Zhao Huiyan to keep an eye on the Lin family.
Zhao Huiyan stared at it for the whole morning and then quit.
She was tanned in the hot weather and her skin was oily. She was already dark, and now she looked even darker.
Old Mrs. Zhao has a very dark face. She is not good at anything and eats everything without leaving any residue.
Still dark?
Now it's almost impossible to find. (Refers to when it is dark.)
I gritted my teeth and used my trump card, and I was paid one cent for every day I spent.
Zhao Huiyan: Deal.
For money, what does a little black matter?
Then he happily waited near the Lin family.
He really did something famous by squatting there.
She waited for five more days before she told Mrs. Zhao, "Mother, Lin Qing is not staying at home at all. She goes up the mountain to collect herbs every day."
She saw it all, a yard full of medicine.
Zhao Huiyan had complicated feelings towards Lin Qing.
When he was a child, he played with Lin Qing because he had a brother and Lin Qing didn’t, and he could find a sense of superiority from Lin Qing.
That's why we had fun.
Later, Lin Qing became more and more beautiful, which made me feel uncomfortable.
In the blink of an eye, she became her sister-in-law again, and her mood became even worse.
It was something to be proud of that her brother was an officer.
But when she thought about her brother being an official and Lin Qing becoming a cadre's family member, she felt uncomfortable.
For a while, he had a vicious thought that it would be great if his brother could make mistakes in the team and no longer be a cadre.
In this way, Lin Qing is still a country person.
Not much nobler than her.
Anyway, she couldn't bear to see Lin Qing, who was not as good as her, living better than her.
There has been talk of canceling an engagement at home these past two days, and Zhao Huiyan feels indescribably happy.
Now seeing that Lin Qing didn't care, he was in the mood to pick herbs and was not so happy anymore.
Feeling very bored.
She wanted Lin Qing to go back to the way she was when she was a child, always looking at her with envy.
"Lin Sanya is quite thoughtful. She doesn't work but goes to the mountains to collect herbs to earn money. Mom, why don't you just go to the Lin family and tell them that if they give you the money they earn from collecting herbs, you will agree not to cancel the engagement."
"This is equivalent to returning all the betrothal gifts and things my brother has given me over the years."
Old Mrs. Zhao suddenly had an idea.
She could use this as an excuse to make Lin Dahua and his wife relax their vigilance.
Not only did he want to get back the money from selling the medicine, but he also wanted that little bitch Lin Qing to explain in front of the villagers that his son had no one outside.
Once these two things are settled, she will go find someone to get engaged to.
This is just going according to his son's plan.
The more Mrs. Zhao thought about it, the smarter she felt.
This can be done.
When it was time to cook dinner, Mrs. Zhao went to the Lin family while there were few people in the village.
Wang Lanfeng and Lin Dahua looked unwelcome.
As if facing a formidable enemy.
Mrs. Zhao looked down on him in her heart, but said on the surface: "It's not good for our two families to be so stalemated. We have to make this marriage clear."
It seemed like he wanted to have a calm conversation.
Lin Dahua and Wang Lanfeng looked at each other and let the person into the yard.
Old Lady Zhao sat in the yard and looked at the medicinal herbs in the yard. She smiled and said, "I heard that the herbs in this yard were all picked from Sanya Mountain."
Wang Lanfeng immediately became alert, "This is what her father and I picked when we went to the mountains at night when we had nothing to do."
How novel! Going to the mountains to pick herbs so late at night?
Mrs. Zhao didn't believe it. "I thought San Ya was too spoiled and wanted to cancel the engagement. Now it seems like a good thing. I misunderstood the child."
Wang Lanfeng and Lin Dahua looked at each other again. What did Old Mrs. Zhao mean?
Over there, Mrs. Zhao was still talking to herself, "Since the child is not a spoiled child, our family can still hold on to the marriage, but San Ya chased me all the way in the village with a urine bucket, which embarrassed me. She has to apologize to me."
"You have to apologize to me in front of the whole village and explain to everyone that my son doesn't have anyone else outside."
"Another thing is that since she is the daughter-in-law of my Zhao family, the herbs she collected in the mountains should belong to my Zhao family. You can send these herbs to my house later, and what happened these days will be over."
After saying this, Old Lady Zhao sat there upright, snorting in her heart, thinking that Lin Dahua and Wang Lanfeng must be very proud now.
Just let you be proud of yourself first.
Lin Dahua: Oh, I understand. Old lady Zhao is a medicine scammer.
Wang Lanfeng: Not only does she want the medicine, she also wants San Ya to apologize to her!
Lin Dahua: Is the urine bucket at home full?
Wang Lanfeng: Yes, because she was reluctant to use it.
Lin Dahua: I'll go get the urine bucket right now.
Wang Lanfeng: Dad, you are awesome.
Lin Dahua suddenly felt that he had endless energy.
At this time, Lin Qing came out and said, "Dad, Mom, don't be impulsive."
Lin Dahua and Wang Lanfeng's restless hearts calmed down.
They must listen to their daughter's instructions.
Lin Qing heard everything that Old Lady Zhao said clearly in the inner room.
After thinking for a while, he came up with an idea. "Aunt, I feel relieved when you say that. Isn't it just apologizing in front of the whole village? As long as you gather everyone, I will apologize to you in front of everyone."
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she said, "Great, I'll call everyone out right away."
There is a stage in Shanglin Village.
The art troupe from the county town performed on the stage when they went to the countryside to perform.
Sometimes village leaders convened village meetings and held them on the stage.
Old Mrs. Zhao felt aggrieved for many days because of being splashed with urine.
If you don't get over this, you'll live several years less.
Now that Lin Qing has agreed to apologize to her in front of the whole village, the scene must be set up.
It has to be bigger.
Half an hour later.
The area below the stage was filled with villagers.
Everyone was discussing it with curiosity.
"Why did Old Mrs. Zhao call us over here?"
"It is said that San Ya from the Lin family wants to apologize to her in front of all the members."
"Hey, she's really capable of making trouble. She's bullying the Lin family to death."
"Isn't Lin Sanya also very powerful? Why didn't she cause trouble for Old Lady Zhao?"
"Since she has come out to apologize, does that mean the Zhao family will not cancel the engagement?"
