Chapter 320 [(*^▽^*)]
The auntie got more and more excited as she talked, and she kept going, "By the way, Xiaoyou, you still don't have a girlfriend, right? You're not getting any younger now that you've graduated from university. Do you want me to introduce you to someone? I have excellent taste! I guarantee I'll find you a beautiful and capable girl!"
Lin Leyou smiled, neither refusing nor agreeing. "I'm penniless right now, what girl would want me? I'll wait until I've made something of myself and earned some money. Then I'll buy her a house, a car, and jewelry, so she can marry me with dignity."
The aunt was stunned for a moment, "I didn't expect you to be such a promising young man, knowing how to cherish girls. Any girl who marries you will be so lucky!"
"Alright, since you're so enthusiastic, I'll keep an eye on things for you for now. Once you've made some money, I'll introduce you to the best options!"
Lin Leyou smiled and nodded. Anyway, this instance only lasts for a month. Whether he successfully completes it or fails and leaves, he won't come back again.
Besides, he didn't actually agree, did he? It was just a polite gesture.
Just then, a young girl came running and skipping over from a distance. Seeing them chatting, she smiled and asked, "Hey, what are you talking about?"
The aunt looked at the girl with a smile, scrutinizing her from head to toe. Her smile was rather strange, which made the girl's smile disappear.
Lin Leyou had already realized what she was looking at, but the girl hadn't. "Auntie, what are you looking at? Is there something wrong with me?"
The aunt didn't say anything directly, but shook her head with a smile, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just saw such a pretty girl like you and wanted to take a second look. By the way, what's your name? What's your name, Jiaojiao?"
The girl smiled and said, "I'm Sichuan peppercorn, isn't that a nice name?"
The aunt smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, everyone calls you Ajiao, it's a really nice name!"
After saying that, the aunt slowly left, smiling and watching her as she went. It was strange, but thankfully she disappeared from sight quickly.
However… Lin Leyou looked at this woman, her name was Huajiao? She did look somewhat similar to the female player Huajiao from the hospital before, but he couldn’t be completely sure.
Sichuan peppercorn: "Hey, you... what were you talking about just now? Why was she looking at me like that?"
Lin Leyou smiled slightly and didn't hide anything, "This aunt said she wanted to introduce me to a girl."
Huajiao paused for a moment, then blinked, seemingly a little confused, but quickly realized that the aunt had been looking at her like that because she was planning to play matchmaker for her.
She laughed awkwardly, "Haha... Oh, that's great, that's great! Well... I have something to do, so I'll be going now!"
After saying that, without waiting for Lin Leyou to speak, Huajiao quickly ran away. Lin Leyou didn't look at her much, but went straight to the well in front of the house to fetch a bucket of water to wash up.
After washing the vegetables, I picked a handful of greens from the vegetable garden next to my house and went back to the kitchen to make a bowl of greens and egg noodles for breakfast.
Just as he brought the bowl of noodles to the dining table in the living room, he heard arguing outside. Without thinking, he instinctively picked up the bowl of noodles and chopsticks and went outside.
When he reached the roadside in front of the door, he saw two groups of people arguing at the intersection ahead. He carefully took a sip of the hot soup, which was still a little too hot.
Besides him, other villagers gradually appeared around him. It was already quite late, around 8:30. Most people had finished their breakfast, leaving only some villagers who didn't like to eat or who, like him, had gotten up late, eating while watching the commotion.
Lin Leyou quickly recognized the boy at the center of the argument as... Xue Rui?!
Huh? What's going on? What happened? Did Xue Rui do something wrong?
Wait a minute, he remembered the message Xue Rui sent him last night. Xue Rui's character seemed to be a brat who caused trouble in the village, was very idle, and caused minor troubles for the villagers.
Has he done something bad again?
He took a bite of noodles and continued watching the commotion. He could gradually hear the argument more clearly now, as it was getting increasingly heated...
“It was your kid. He just grabbed a handful of mud and threw it at me. Look at all this mud on me, it’s filthy and smelly, it must have been dug up from a ditch. He really needs to be taught a lesson.”
Xue Rui stood behind a woman, looking completely indifferent; this woman was his mother.
Xue Rui's mother stood with her hands on her hips, then pointed at her nose and began to berate her, "You say my son threw it, so he did? What makes you say that? My son just happened to be passing by. Do you think my son is young and easy to bully, so you're taking advantage of him?"
"Let me tell you, Niu Xiaohua, my son is the lifeblood of my whole family. If you dare to lay a hand on him, my whole family will never forgive your family!"
Niu Xiaohua was furious. "What did you say? I wronged him? Does a brat like him need to be wronged? He's a cancer in the village, a rat dropping in the pot of porridge that is Jingu Village!"
"How many dirty deeds has he done in the past? How can it not be him? Ask everyone, and see if they believe you or me!"
Enraged by these words, Xue Rui's mother immediately launched into a tirade, "You piece of trash! How dare you call my son a rotten apple? What are you? Don't think that just because you're having an affair with that old bachelor at the village entrance, nobody in the village knows. I saw it all. A few nights ago, the two of you went into the mountains and didn't come back until evening, both of you with smiles on your faces..."
Niu Xiaohua was so shocked by her words that she felt dizzy. Was what Xue Rui's mother said true? Yes, it was true, but what exactly happened in the mountains, no one knew.
Seeing her daughter's mouth open but unable to utter a single word, Xue Rui's mother was overjoyed. "Since you've admitted defeat, I'm leaving now, son, go ahead."
Xue Rui followed the woman with a smile, and before leaving, he turned back and blew several kisses to the onlookers, as if to declare his victory.
Everyone sighed deeply. The child wasn't hopeless, just too mischievous and liked to cause trouble everywhere, but it wasn't major trouble; most of it was just trivial matters.
He didn't steal anything, but he liked to dig in the mud and embarrass himself. Fortunately, many people were going to work in the fields or had finished their work and were already dirty.
So although I was a little angry, I didn't actually go so far as to hit someone.
Of course... the biggest reason is that this child has a mother with extremely strong fighting spirit. Anyone who tries to reason with this child, educate him on what he shouldn't do, or go to his parents will be scolded by this woman.
They just didn't expect that today, Niu Xiaohua would be exposed by Xue Rui's mother with such a shocking revelation, and everyone's eyes were no longer looking at Niu Xiaohua.
Lin Leyou ate noodles while watching the commotion. She only came to her senses after Xue Rui left with her mother, realizing that she had unknowingly finished a whole bowl of noodles.
Sure enough, watching the excitement is really thrilling and captivating. I not only ate noodles, but also got to enjoy the melon.
I wonder who that old bachelor at the village entrance is. This Niu Xiaohua doesn't look old, probably only in her thirties. Xue Rui's mother calls him an old bachelor, which is probably just an exaggeration.
Niu Xiaohua is quite good-looking, a pretty woman. Even if she's looking for a bachelor, she certainly wouldn't choose someone too old or unattractive. Let Little Spider go check her out...
Just as he was about to send a mechanical spider to check the village entrance, a man ran over and hugged Niu Xiaohua, who was pale and crying.
Oh my! We were just talking about this, and now this person has appeared? Is this the old bachelor Xue Rui's mother was talking about?
He's quite good-looking, not just good-looking, you could even call him a puppy... no, a wolf, no, he should be called a puppy.
His first conclusion was that this Niu Xiaohua must be very rich.
Not only did Lin Leyou not leave, but the number of people who were watching the commotion just moments before has actually increased, instead of dispersing.
The man looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. He was similar to Lin Leyou in status, also a villager, and had a very unique name: Luo Qingzhou.
The name sounds nice and even has a touch of poetry to it. Not to mention his tall and slender figure, especially his long legs, if he were out in the world, he would definitely be a minor celebrity.
How could someone in their thirties be employed in a village... There must be an age difference of more than ten years, right?
Luo Qingzhou didn't pay attention to the onlookers around her. She simply held Niu Xiaohua in her arms, gently comforting her as she led her away. They were gone in no time.
Only then did the villagers who had been watching the spectacle slowly leave. What was the point of staying if the excitement was over? But even though the people had dispersed, their gossipy nature remained.
Lin Leyou went back to the kitchen, washed the dishes and put them away, then went to his room to find a set of not-so-good clothes. He planned to get dressed and go see the surrounding mountains.
He came back intending to contract the mountain forest to plant fruit trees, so he will definitely have to look around. Of course, whether it will work out is still uncertain, so... if he meets other people, he can use this as an excuse.
Such a big decision, hesitating for a month isn't too long, is it?
Lin Leyou left home wearing cheap clothes, locking the door before he left. His task for today was to explore the nearby mountains, and for the next period of time, he would travel to all the mountains surrounding the village.
Not long after he left, the pepper that had run away earlier appeared around the house, circled Lin Leyou's house twice, and then left, not knowing what it did.
