After hearing what she said, Lin Gang went to the kitchen to coax his new wife.

"Chen Xia, don't overthink it. I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at your parents for treating you badly."

Ye Lian felt relieved when she heard the noise, so she went outside and prepared to pick two vegetables to cook soup. She happened to see Lin Yuyao and Lin Ping coming back.

"Did you two buy the tickets?"

They went into town today to buy return tickets.

"I didn't buy it."

"I got it."

Ye Lian: “…”

"What's wrong with you two? One of you bought it, and the other didn't. Yuyao bought the ticket, but Linping didn't?"

"No, I didn't buy the train ticket, so my sister took me to buy the plane ticket."

"Huh? Airline tickets? How expensive are those?"

"This...is not cheap. It's over a hundred."

"What? Over a hundred? How much for the two of you?"

Looking at their mother's wide eyes, neither of them dared to say a word.

Ye Lian wiped her hands on her apron and held out her hand to them, "Let me see it."

As a last resort, Lin Yuyao handed the ticket to her.

After Ye Lian finished reading it, her eyes almost popped out.

"More than 300? More than 300 for two people?"

"Yes, that's right."

"It's so expensive, Yuyao. One trip costs more than 300 yuan, which is enough for your three-month salary. One round trip takes half a year. You work hard for a year, and the return trip alone costs half a year's salary. And you bought so many things. You worked for nothing for a year. God, you might as well stay at home and raise chickens instead of going out to work."

"We didn't take a plane when we came back, and Lin Ping was able to take the ticket back to get reimbursed. It's not that scary."

"That's expensive, God. It costs money and takes effort. What do you want to do by going out to work?"

"If I don't go, Lin Ping has to go to school too. Apart from his travel expenses, my own money is actually not much. Besides, I don't make money from work."

Yes, my younger son still has to go to school. Just think about the travel expenses every year, which is a huge expense.

Luckily they were able to reimburse.

"Lin Ping is going to school. Why don't you stop running so far and find something to do nearby?"

Lin Yuyao looked confused.

Lin Ping said, "Mom, don't hinder my sister's marriage. She will not only make money but also find a marriage partner if she goes to South City."

Ye Lian: "Yuyao, are you really in love with that guy? Don't you plan to find someone nearby?"

Lin Yuyao knew all the young men around her age who lived nearby.

If she had been like that in her previous life, there would have been a few suitable ones.

But now...she is actually a very realistic person.

Now, she can achieve one or two small goals of tens of thousands a year, and then find people near her hometown, which is equivalent to poverty alleviation.

She is unwilling to help the poor.

Let's talk about something more realistic. After seeing good ones, their standards have improved. How could they be willing to marry someone lower than them?

"I still have to go." Lin Yuyao explained, "The publishing house where I publish my book is in South City. I signed a five-year contract with them. If I breach the contract, I will have to pay compensation.

If I stayed at home, I would have to go to South City to sign contracts and so on. I don’t know how many times I would have to make the trip in a year. It would be more expensive.

As for the house, I signed a one-year contract and paid a deposit. I bought a lot of things that are still in the house. I haven’t quit my current job either. My boss treats us very well. It would be inappropriate for me to leave suddenly.”

Ye Lian just said this, and didn't say that she must be kept in her hometown.

It would be nice to go out and see more while you are still young, but she still feels bad about the travel expenses.

It’s really expensive.

"By the way, have my elder brother and sister-in-law come back?"

Lin Yuyao suddenly remembered that her eldest brother and sister-in-law seemed to have caused a conflict when they came back from her previous life.

By then she had already married into the Lu family, and she had only heard her mother Ye Lian complain a few times, saying things like her family was not good.

I asked her what was going on, but she felt something was wrong and stopped talking.

Just said that they should have less contact with the Chen family in the future.

I don’t know if it’s the same in this life.

"I'm back."

"I'm going to see my sister-in-law."

"Don't go." Ye Lian said to Lin Yuyao, "They got mad at your sister-in-law's parents' home. Your brother is trying to comfort your sister-in-law right now. Don't go and disturb them."

"Ah? What made them angry?"

"Not yet..." Ye Lian hesitated to speak, feeling embarrassed.

Forget it, I won’t say anything.

The daughter-in-law's life is hard enough, and it would be even more embarrassing for her to speak out.

"Nothing, your sister-in-law had a fight with her brother. It's not a big deal, it's normal for siblings to quarrel. You and Lin Ping even had a fight when you were kids."

Lin Yuyao: “…” That’s definitely not the case.

Forget it, she won’t say anything.

By dinner time, my sister-in-law had already coaxed him into submission.

She felt quite embarrassed when her elder brother picked up some food for her.

After dark, the two returned to their room early.

The New Year is coming soon. The New Year atmosphere is particularly strong in the countryside these days. Lin Ping and a group of young men are shouting and playing everywhere, picking up firecrackers and frying fish, and they want to drag Lin Yuyao to go with them.

Lin Yuyao refused him because she was afraid of being scolded.

She went to bed early. Even in the middle of winter, she still kept warm under the quilt.

Then she guessed right, and Lin Ping was indeed scolded.

The fish pond of my third uncle's family was blown up, killing several half-grown grass carps, which were caught by my third uncle.

Then he came to the door with the dead fish.

Lin Dawei bowed and apologized, then paid for the fish.

In the end, only one fish was caught, and the rest was given to my third uncle to take home and eat.

The third uncle thought about it and said that one fish was not enough for their big family, so he stuffed another one into his mouth.

Lin Ping came back in the middle of the night and was scolded by Lin Dawei and Ye Lian by grabbing his ears.

"Who told you to fry fish? How old are you? You still want to fry fish? I should fry you."

"Oh, Dad, I'm here to get some fish. My sister-in-law just came home, so I have to prepare something delicious for her."

"Then you can't fry your third uncle's fish either."

"The fish they fry is so good and fat. I fry it and they bring it back for you. You just pay for it and it's yours."

Lin Dawei: “…”

Is he still right?

The next day, Lin Ping found the rifle at home and said he wanted to go up the mountain to hunt some game.

"It would be nice if there was a game dish on the table for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner."

"Can you hit it?"

"Of course."

"I remember you were not as good a shooter as I was."

"That was in the past. What am I attending now? Military school. I've practiced there."

It sounds reliable, after all, he has practiced it now.

"Okay, I'll go find a basket."

"Find a bucket and put it in the frame. When you beat him up, he'll be covered in blood. If you put him in the frame, it'll be all over his back."

They prepared their tools and went into the mountains together.

Not long after they left, the captain came to their house and called for help, saying that someone was looking for Lin Yuyao.

Ye Lian thought that it was most likely her daughter's boyfriend in South City.

Yuyao was not there, so she went to answer the phone and also to see how the child spoke so that she could check on him.
