Chapter 75 Who Made Him Angry?
Snake Village.
It's been renamed Snake Village now; they're not bandits.
"Brother Lin, where did you get so much food and medicine?"
Lin Anyuan touched the hairpin that held his hair back. "Don't ask. Take these to the cellar and don't let anyone find out."
He hid some of the medicinal herbs and food here under the cover of darkness, so that if all else fails, it could save many lives.
"My goodness, Lin, when did you start using hairpins like a woman? You know what, with your hair standing up like that, you look even better, just like a young master from a noble family, all that 'gentleman like jade,' all that 'peerless'?"
Only then did Qin the Big Guy realize that his father was different from usual, and he had to admit, he was really good-looking.
It's only because he likes women that he's so attractive; otherwise, everyone would be head over heels for that face.
Dou Xin scoffed, "A gentleman as handsome as jade, unparalleled in the world. Why don't you read more books instead of being blind?"
"Go away, what good is it for Dou Xin to read those lousy books? Can you fight as well as your father? Have you forgotten how you, a poor scholar, almost starved to death back then?"
"What do you know? All other pursuits are inferior; only studying is superior."
"A scholar is useless in a hundred ways."
The two argued back and forth, and only stopped when they saw that Lin Anyuan was getting impatient.
"Boss, Ma San, who cooks in the kitchen, has taken a liking to a woman. What do you think we should do?"
"Damn it, I don't even have a woman yet, and Ma San is so quiet you can't even fart. Just because he's a good cook, does that mean he has a woman?"
"If two people are in love, they should get married; if they are not willing, they should not be forced."
Lin Anyuan touched the hairpin that held his hair up again. "Women are such a hassle. I'm not used to wearing this."
The two people standing in front of him were taken aback. What did Brother Lin mean by this?
Did they come up the mountain specifically to show off their hairpins to them?
It's just a piece of wood, it's not worth much.
Surely not?
Qin the Big Guy remembered something else, "By the way, Brother Lin, the bandits' women are all bad, especially that one named Peony. She's always flirting with men and has really angered Miss Ling. It's already a favor to spare their lives, why should we care whether they like it or not!"
Lin Anyuan's face turned cold. "How many times have I told you? We're not bandits. We can't force women. If you make me repeat myself, I'll drag you off to mate with a pig right now, whether you like it or not!"
Upon hearing this, the big guy Qin quickly clenched his buttocks. "Boss, I was just kidding."
"Get lost!"
Lin Anyuan kicked Qin the big guy and turned to leave.
He also kicked a pebble on the road.
Dou Xin and Zuo Yuan exchanged a glance. What was going on? Who had made him angry out of nowhere?
It couldn't be because of the hairpin in his hair, could it?
That shouldn't be the case.
Not at all.
Could it be that I've been experiencing excessive liver fire lately?
Peony, who had originally intended to approach from a distance, was startled and immediately dared not move forward.
"Tch, overestimating yourself. Brother Lin already has a wife, how could he possibly be interested in someone from such a lowly place as you?" Lingniang couldn't help but sneer.
Peony chuckled, "Miss Ling, we're all on this bandit mountain now, so let's not distinguish who's noble and who's lowly, shall we? Who knows when we'll have to spread our legs and let men play with us? I know you've got your eye on that handsome man too, otherwise you wouldn't have come all this way like me. If you like him, go for it!"
Lingniang's face flushed red instantly. "What nonsense are you spouting! What filthy language! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll have Brother Qin kick you off the mountain."
"I'm not making this up. Ask yourself if you're right or not." Peony rolled her eyes.
That big guy Qin couldn't bear to kick her out, and he often took advantage of her. The little girl really thought men were good people; how naive.
"So what if you have a wife? What capable man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Even the former leader, Black Python, had as many women as us! You don't understand because you don't have a man yet. These men may look respectable, but they all just want to play around with women..."
Lingniang glared angrily, "You shameless woman! Brother Lin's wife dares to kill bandits. If he finds out, he'll kill that vixen."
"Can your face feed you? How pretentious! I'd like to meet this woman you're talking about. Maybe if I beg her, she'll take me in! Hehehe!"
Peony walked away with a charming laugh, while Lingniang's face turned ugly.
Her enemy, Zhang Fuhu, was dead. She wanted to live a good life so that she could be worthy of her parents.
She wanted to get married, and she often thought back to the day she first met Lin Anyuan. But Brother Lin already had a wife. What should she do?
Could it really be as that vixen Peony said, that she'd become Brother Lin's concubine?
...
...
Achoo!
Ye Wan sneezed loudly, "Who's thinking about me now?"
In the courtyard, Aunt Cai was instructing Daya on embroidery. "What do you mean I'm worried about you? You haven't caught a cold, have you?"
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the weather turned cool at the end of August.
"Godmother, you're really amazing! The embroidery looks so real, it's so beautiful!" Ye Wan leaned over and showered her with compliments.
She's not lying, she really is beautiful.
Aunt Cai rolled her eyes. "What's the use of looking good if you don't learn it?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Wan immediately chuckled awkwardly, "Godmother, please don't make things difficult for me. My eldest daughter learning is the same as me learning; it's all the same."
She's not cut out for embroidery; she's interested, but unfortunately, she lacks the talent.
The embroidery is a messy, illegible mess; it's best not to embarrass yourself here.
Aunt Cai laughed, "You're just making excuses. I know other things too. Do you want to learn them?"
"What?"
Aunt Cai slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "I can play the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting!"
Ye Wan's eyes sparkled. "Godmother, you were a wealthy family's daughter back then, weren't you?"
“You have good taste. Although my Cai family is not a wealthy and noble family, we are a scholarly family. There are many men in the capital who want to marry daughters of my Cai family.”
Ye Wan asked cautiously, "Then godfather..."
"Your godfather was just a scholar. He fell in love with me at first sight and kept pestering me. My father saw that she was sincere and agreed to the marriage."
"After we got married, we had a daughter, but then I damaged my health and couldn't have any more children. We raised that daughter like a precious jewel and she married the man she loved. We hoped she would have a smooth life, but unfortunately, she died young."
"Godmother, let's not talk about the past. From now on, I'm your own daughter."
Looking at the sorrow in Aunt Cai's eyes, Ye Wan, though curious about her past, did not want to reopen her wounds.
Moreover, she felt that Aunt Cai was hiding something, since she had previously scolded her daughter as an ingrate.
Aunt Cai looked up at Ye Wan and smiled, "We're all your own daughters, why don't you call me 'Mother'? You have to add a word before it."
"mother!"
