Han Min's family lives in Xiushui Village, which, like Yuquan Village, is under the jurisdiction of Xiangyang Township.
Xiushui Village is not far from Yuquan Village; it takes about forty minutes to walk out of the village.
Lin Xinglong has been keeping Han Min's parents happy these days.
He also went around saying that his older brother, Lin Chuan, owned a noodle shop in the county town and was making a lot of money.
Although many people in Xiushui Village had heard about the Lin family's affairs, for Han Min and her parents, Lin Chuan and Lin Xinglong had grown up together and there was definitely some affection between them.
Lin Chuan has meat to eat, and they can also drink some soup.
And so, Han Min finally agreed to visit Lin Xinglong's house.
Lin Xinglong was, after all, Wu Chunhua and Lin Youfu’s only son, and Zhou Xiuying and Lin Fugui’s most beloved grandson.
When the future daughter-in-law comes to live with the family, of course, she should take good care of the household.
Wu Chunhua stopped hiding her money and sent Lin Youfu to the countryside to buy meat early in the morning, and also brought out the eggs from her home.
Wu Chunhua's face was beaming with joy.
If the two of them get along well, she thinks they can get married next spring.
We should have Han Min have several children, preferably all sons, then she'll have plenty to brag about.
Early in the morning, Lin Xinglong ran out to pick up Han Min.
Around ten o'clock, Lin Xinglong brought Han Min back.
It was freezing cold outside. Han Min was wearing a cotton-padded jacket with a blue coat over it. She had two long braids that were draped over her shoulders, and with each breath, they were covered in frost.
As soon as the door opened, a wave of heat rushed out of the room.
You should know that Wu Chunhua usually wouldn't be willing to burn so much firewood, but today she specially burned it for Han Min.
Upon seeing Han Min, Wu Chunhua quickly walked over with a smile.
"Xinglong, this must be Xiaomin."
Lin Xinglong turned around and closed the door, then quickly and cheerfully introduced them to the group.
"Grandpa and Grandma, Father and Mother, Caifeng, this is Han Min."
"Xiaomin, this is my father, my mother, my grandfather, my grandmother, and this is my sister Caifeng."
Han Min and Lin Xinglong are the same age, both seventeen now, and will be eighteen after the New Year.
Lin Xinglong's birthday is in March, and Han Min's birthday is in April.
In addition, many weddings in the village are not registered. They get married first, have children, and then register later if they want to. Holding a wedding banquet is considered a marriage.
Han Min seemed quite shy, and greeted softly, "Hello, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, Caifeng."
Zhou Xiuying and Wu Chunhua were overjoyed.
She looks like a well-behaved girl.
Wu Chunhua pulled her over, "Alright, come on, Xiaomin, let's sit on the kang (heated brick bed) and warm up. We've walked so far, we'll get freezing."
Han Min sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), too embarrassed to move further in.
Wu Chunhua also gave her some peanuts and put them aside.
Han Min felt that Lin Xinglong's family was not as harmonious as the rumors outside suggested, and that they were actually very easy to get along with.
After chatting for a while, the conversation turned to the recent rumors circulating outside.
Wu Chunhua sighed, "Xiaomin, don't listen to the nonsense outside. They just can't stand seeing our family doing well. Look at the meat in the kitchen, your older brother Lin Chuan delivered it this morning. He's busy at his shop, otherwise he would definitely have kept it. Your older brother also said that when you get married, he will definitely give you a big gift, and he'll even buy you a house in the county town."
"You have no idea how much Da Chuan doted on Xing Long when he was a child. He would save everything for Xing Long, even if he didn't eat it himself. The two brothers had a very good relationship."
Upon hearing this, Han Min's mind stirred.
It seems Lin Xinglong wasn't lying to her.
That makes sense, though. Before the rumors of their argument surfaced, Lin Xinglong's older brother had always treated him quite well, since they had known each other for a long time.
That would be wonderful if they could buy a house in the county town in the future.
"Auntie, I don't care whether we buy a house in the county town or not. As long as Xinglong treats me well and we can live a good life together, that's enough for me," Han Min said obediently, glancing shyly at Lin Xinglong.
That one glance made Lin Xinglong's heart flutter.
Wu Chunhua was extremely satisfied with Han Min.
It was a very pleasant meeting today.
Not long after finishing their meal, Lin Xinglong saw Han Min off. Before leaving, Wu Chunhua gave Han Min a two-yuan red envelope.
In short, everyone was very satisfied this time.
Han Min was even thinking that she could rise to prominence by following Lin Xinglong in the future.
When she returned home that evening, Wu Chunhua secretly called Lin Xinglong into the house. "Xinglong, I think Xiaomin is a good person, but you know what our family situation is like right now. You have to keep Xiaomin calm first."
Lin Xinglong said nonchalantly, "Mom, are you saying you don't have money to get me a wife?"
Wu Chunhua glared at him, "You kid, do you have any money? If you let Xiaomin get pregnant first, then we won't need a bride price. Their family will be begging us to get married, and we'll save on everything."
Lin Xinglong thought about it and said, "That makes sense."
He was thinking that he and Xiaomin had been together several times, but Xiaomin hadn't gotten pregnant yet.
It seems he still needs to work harder.
But this couldn't be told to Wu Chunhua; the two of them had been together for a long time.
Lin Chuan knew that Han Min and Lin Xinglong had been together for a long time.
Because in their previous life, the two of them had a child less than six months after getting married, meaning the woman was pregnant before marriage.
So Lin Chuan wasn't in a big hurry about this.
People like Lin Xinglong and Han Min should be locked together for life, otherwise they'll run off and cause trouble for others.
