Chapter 119: Talking about Marriage
Lin Shiqi also left another tael of silver for Lin Sanjie to keep as she lived on. He had already given her enough medical expenses and food money for three days, so she didn't have to spend anything.
Just leave with Zhou Lang.
After they left, Sister Lin San shed tears.
While talking to himself.
"Fourth sister, I, I regret it now. My parents really don't treat us as human beings. I can accept it even if they let me die, but asking me to do that kind of thing is like making my life worse than death. I still have children. If I die, people will poke my children in the spine! If I die with my eyes rolled back, I will harm my descendants..."
***
After leaving the clinic, Lin Shiqi asked about the situation in the inn.
Zhou Lang recounted what happened in the inn.
"I didn't see any accomplices. I also tested the waiter. These two people should be lone wolves who came to Jixiang County. I also brought the bag with me."
The two went to the place where Zhou Lang was disguised and picked up the hidden things.
This thing can't be thrown away randomly.
So as to avoid being picked up by others.
They are all hidden in the concentric lock space.
Lin Shiqi said, "Since there are no accomplices in Jixiang County, and you have told Xiaoer that you are going to the neighboring Dayuan County, they should not be able to find our Zhou family in a short time, so Xiaomian can rest assured."
Zhou Lang asked, "How is the plot written in the original book?"
Lin Shiqi recalled, "The original book was written from Zhou Qinan's perspective. After he saved the man, someone came to Longquan Town looking for the eight or nine-year-old child and found him in Longquan School. He evaded the question and didn't write about it anymore."
Zhou Lang nodded. "Although the current development is a little different from the book, the main storyline should not change much. If we are lucky, there will be no more killers in a short time."
"Well, originally the assassins should have mistaken Little Mute Girl for someone else. They must have gone after the Crown Prince's orphan. The Crown Prince's orphan must be someone else, not our Little Mute Girl."
Lin Shiqi speculated.
Now that things have come to this, she can only think positively.
At worst, when the time comes, let the little mute girl hide in the heart-lock space to avoid the limelight.
The two found a carriage and prepared to leave the city.
Zhou Lang asked about Third Sister Lin again.
Lin Shiqi said, "This is all I can do. Healing her wounds can be considered as repaying the friendship between the original owner and her. There is nothing else I can do."
She won't cause any more trouble.
Sister Lin San is an adult now, and I believe she will have her own plans.
I will never bring her back to Lao Zhou's house.
There is also no logic in bringing an adult sister from your natal family to live with your husband's family.
It would be good if Third Sister Lin had thought it through. She could be asked to help make tofu. We have to hire someone anyway, so she wouldn't need a bite of food.
If they don't figure it out, then from now on, Mrs. Lin and the others will come to Old Zhou's house every day, and there will be no peace and tranquility.
…
Zhou Lang nodded.
No more words.
The couple returned to Longquan Town, spent a few coins, found someone, and went to the Zhao family at the end of the town to deliver a message.
They didn't ask the Zhao family to pick up Third Sister Lin, they just told her the truth about her situation.
What to do depends on the arrangements made by the Zhao family themselves.
It was already noon when the two returned to the village.
The little mute girl was waiting for them at the entrance of the village.
Seeing the two return safely, the little guy couldn't help but smile.
Lin Shiqi told him the situation.
"It should be safe for now. No matter what happens in the future, don't panic now. The New Year is coming in a few days. Have a good New Year here. You called us parents, so we won't ignore you. Don't worry. Even if the situation gets worse, your father and I will find a way."
"Right, Dumb Mother's father?"
Zhou Lang touched his nose and said, "Yeah, that's right."
The name "Mute Mother's father" almost made him laugh.
Fortunately, he got into it quickly.
The mute girl also blushed.
He said in a muffled voice, "I listen to you, Dad and Mom. Thank you very much."
Lin Shiqi touched his head, "What a pretty girl! Zhou Lang, we've killed two birds with one stone. We have both a son and a daughter at once."
The little mute girl is so beautiful that it is hard to tell whether she is androgynous.
The eldest and second daughters in the Zhou family are considered to be pretty.
But compared with the mute girl, the difference is obvious.
Now, many grown boys in Taohua Village would secretly look at the mute girl and talk about her behind her back, and Lin Shiqi had discovered this several times.
The little mute girl felt embarrassed by what Lin Shiqi said, so she turned around and ran away.
Lin Shiqi laughed loudly in the back.
When they got home, Mrs. Zhou asked them why they were so late, but it was snowing and the road was difficult to walk on.
Lin Shiqi told her about his encounter with Lin Sanjie.
Mrs. Zhou kept scolding the Lin family for being lacking in virtue!
"This couple will not have a good death in the future. They are really not virtuous. How can there be such people in the world..."
Lin Shiqi told his family not to make tofu in the next two days as long as the snow doesn’t stop.
The road is slippery and it is difficult to deliver the goods. It is too dangerous.
Mrs. Zhou said quickly, "I know. You told the second son today, and he told us that today is a day off. It's too cold and your hands will freeze if you work."
The main reason is that the family is wealthy.
Have the capital to rest.
If it were the past when we had nothing to eat or drink, we would still do it as long as we could earn money, even if it snowed or rained knives from the sky.
Mrs. Zhou also secretly said to Lin Shiqi, "A matchmaker came to our house today."
Lin Shiqi was not interested, but since Mrs. Zhou had told her about it, she naturally had to show her support.
"What's the matter?" She guessed that it was to arrange a marriage for Zhou Yaogu.
The eldest wife’s child is still young. Boys around ten years old don’t usually get married so early.
The eldest and second daughters of the second house were no more than ten years old, and it was even more impossible. The brothers had not yet proposed marriage, so they were told it first.
Only Zhou Yaogu is of the right age.
Of course, it is not ruled out that it was the fifth son of the Zhou family.
It has been several months since she traveled through time, but she has never seen Zhou Laowu once.
Zhou Laowu is also an unmarried man. He just works in the county town and will be back soon for the New Year.
Who would have thought that Mrs. Zhou angrily said, "I have taken a fancy to your little mute girl. Someone sent a matchmaker to propose marriage to me, but I scolded her back. It's so shameless. I have an elder grandson and granddaughter, but they didn't tell us about it, but they told us about our mute girl. Isn't it just that he has taken a fancy to your fourth room's maid? Isn't it because he likes the mute girl because she's pretty? What a bunch of bastards with bad intentions!"
The matchmaker said that no matter how beautiful the mute girl was, she was still a mute, and it was difficult for a mute to get married. Now that someone had taken a fancy to her, they should quickly arrange her marriage. By marrying the two families, they could also help each other.
He also tried to find out whether Lin Shiqi and his wife were infertile. If they were, they could ask Ya Niang to marry a son-in-law. She was willing to send a boy to live with them. But if they did, the fourth branch of the Zhou family would have to pay the betrothal gift, and they would have to ensure that all the money from the fourth branch of the Zhou family would be passed on to Ya Niang, and not be given to the eldest branch of the Zhou family who had a boy...
