"If you want to come back and live here, I've prepared Dongling for you. That whole mountain is yours. You can choose to farm, open a shop, or just stay home and do nothing—it's up to you. After all, it's your life to live."
Yue Jiuyue treats each of her sons fairly. Lin Chaodong and Lin Chaonan have already been urged to get married this year, and now it's Lin Chaoxi's turn.
Of course, what Lin Chaoxi didn't know was that Yue Jiuyue wasn't the kind of parent who would keep urging their child to get married just because they were getting older and still single. She would only urge them to get married once a year, and only occasionally remind them again in special circumstances.
For example, when she was promoted to the eighth rank last year, those ladies kept running into her and asking her about her in a roundabout way before Yue Jiuyue finally asked again.
Yue Jiuyue's long speech made Lin Chaoxi realize that he was being pressured to get married by his own mother.
However, he had already prepared himself for being pressured to get married by his mother, and even by all the aunts and grandmothers in the village, so he answered Yue Jiuyue calmly.
“Mother, this isn’t something I can decide on my own. There has to be a girl for me! There are only men in the border town, where am I supposed to find a wife?”
She was only able to lie so blatantly because her mother was a rural woman who had never left the village. Yue Jiuyue genuinely didn't know the specifics of the border town and thought the military camp was far away. So, she only mentioned it briefly and didn't press the matter further.
Anyway, she wasn't the original owner of this body, so she wasn't worried about her family line dying out. Besides, there were already two children in the family, so even if all four of her brothers stayed single, Yue Jiuyue wouldn't have any objections.
She finished the porridge made from the newly cooked rice in the bowl, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and continued:
"You've come all this way, so I won't keep you talking about things you don't want to hear. Anyway, it's your life, you can live it however you want. I wouldn't mind if you stayed single for the rest of your life. This isn't sarcasm, that's just how I feel."
Alright, stop staying here all the time. Go pack some things, take a few servants, and go to the village chief's house to see the village chief and clan chief, and also visit the other clan elders, they are all seniors.
Since the natural disasters a few years ago, there are only about a dozen households left in our village. Life is alright, but it's a bit quiet now.
Yue Jiuyue sighed.
Although she mostly preferred quiet, a village should be bustling with activity, filled with the sounds of insects chirping and birds singing, the laughter of children playing, the loud voices of people talking, the busy activity in the fields, and the lively atmosphere of everyday life...
Now, there aren't many children or people in the village, and the liveliest place is actually her house, especially when guests come.
well!
"Okay, Mom, I'll go right away!"
Lin Chaoxi quickly finished his meal in a few bites and then went out to visit the elderly people in the village.
Honestly, he really didn't expect his mother's ideas to be so...open-minded?
He couldn't think of any other words to describe it, after all, he had never formally studied, and the words he knew were all learned from others in the military camp, pieced together from various sources.
However, he really has no plans to get married.
He disappeared without a trace after leaving home, wasn't it because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to come back one day, so he wanted his family to think that he was long gone, so that they wouldn't worry about him every day?
Similarly, he didn't want a girl who was originally innocent and carefree to become a waiting-for-husband stone, hoping for his return home every day, because of him.
Being a bachelor for life isn't so bad. Everything is fine at home, and everyone is getting better and better. He's starting to regret sending the message back.
He'll be going back to the border town in a few days, and then his family will really be worried about him every day.
However, he couldn't resist at the time, and didn't think too much about it.
Because he could go to the capital with the main group and also take the opportunity to go home, he was eager to go home and visit his family.
He was trying to put his family at ease, but he ended up worrying them instead.
well!
Lin Chaoxi also wanted to sigh.
"Is the village chief home? I'm Lin Chaoxi! I've come to see you and your great-grandfather!"
Upon arriving at the village chief's house, Lin Chaoxi suppressed his emotions, put on a friendly smile, and called out loudly into the yard.
"Hey! Here it comes!"
When the village chief's wife heard that it was Lin Chaoxi, she hurriedly ran to open the door.
