As a loving sister, Lin Manman decided to help her older brother!
Lin Manman pointed at the stewed fish on the table and said meaningfully:
"Why does this fish smell so fishy to me? It smells like the sticky, fishy smell of a fish when you touch it with your hand!"
Ling Xiaoqing smelled the fishy smell just now, but she had been holding it in. As soon as Lin Manman described it, she instantly had a picture and rushed to the bathroom, wishing she could vomit out her stomach!
Old Mrs. Zhu and Peng Hongxia were both embarrassed to see Ling Xiaoqing like this!
But when they thought that they were all men and were careless, and Lin Manman was the only woman who didn't understand these things at all, they calmed down again!
Old Mrs. Zhu accused Lin Manman:
"Is this the upbringing of your Lin family? You go to someone's house as a guest and tell them they are cooking?"
"It's a good thing Dakun didn't want you, otherwise he would have married a whole family!"
Peng Hongxia forced Lin Yintian and said:
"Lin Yintian, what's the meaning of your silence? Don't tell me that what I told my mom is true. Do you look down on my dad and our Peng family?"
Lin Manman looked at Old Lady Zhu and then at Peng Hongxia and said:
"Grandma Zhu and Aunt Peng may not know that I have never been involved in farming in the countryside. Instead, I have been a veterinarian and studied Chinese medicine from a local barefoot doctor for several years!"
"As for the observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation, you haven't learned it very well, so you definitely can't treat complicated diseases!"
"But fever, cold, stomachache, all these things will happen!"
"Yes, the most and best thing I've seen is that this country woman is pregnant!"
"Why did Sister Xiaoqing vomit just now? Could it be that she had a stomach upset? How about I take Sister Xiaoqing's pulse?"
Hearing Lin Manman say this, both Old Lady Zhu and Peng Hongxia broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that Lin Manman had seen through it. Old Lady Zhu covered it up and said:
"No need. Xiaoqing has never liked eating fish since she was a child. It's not that she has a stomachache!"
"Well, let's ignore her and eat first!"
Mr. Peng remembered that Xiaoqing loved eating fish the most, so why did Mrs. Zhu say that?
But since the guests were there, Mr. Peng didn't ask any more questions. He pointed to the seat and said:
"Everyone sit down and eat. The children have come here with great difficulty. Don't be polite. Eat more!"
"Yintian, sit next to me. This scallion pancake is good. Come and try it!"
Although the situation just now was quite unpleasant, since Mr. Peng had spoken, Lin Yintian said nothing. He took the children and sat down to start eating.
Mr. Peng is not a man who puts on airs. They all come from a poor background, so he has no rules when it comes to eating. He and Lin Guoping and the others seem to be having a great time while eating and chatting!
Peng Hongxia was also afraid, but the Gu family was out of reach. If the Lin family was no longer a good choice, would Ling Xiaoqing really have to marry that second-rate guy? Peng Hongxia was unwilling. Seeing that they were eating, Peng Hongxia was anxious to pull Old Lady Zhu and whispered:
"Mom, this isn't over yet!"
Old Madam Zhu winked at Peng Hongxia and said:
"Didn't you see that damn girl from the Lin family figured it out? How can I explain this? If your dad knew, he would have to cut off all ties with you and Xiaoqing!"
"Let's not talk about this anymore. If it doesn't work out, just let Xiaoqing give birth and leave the baby at the doorstep of the Gu family. The eldest son of the Gu family will definitely be willing to raise the baby if he doesn't have any children!"
Peng Hongxia was unwilling, so she pulled Old Lady Zhu aside and muttered:
"That will delay me for another year. I'm not young anymore. I'm 24 this year. If I wait another year, I'll be 25. I'll really be an old girl!"
"Besides, who can guarantee that Lin Guoping won't get married in a year? He's already 26 years old!"
Old Mrs. Zhu glared at her and said:
"Even if the eldest son of the Lin family is married, doesn't that mean there is still the second son? If the second son is not okay, doesn't there still the third son? His family can't get married every year!"
"Don't worry, Mom will definitely find a way to get Xiaoqing married into the Lin family!"
Peng Hongxia was not quite willing to do so. The second and third sons of the Lin family were not as promising as the eldest son, and the Lin family obviously wanted the eldest son to take over Lin Yintian. If her daughter was to get married, she would marry the most promising one!
Besides, she didn't believe that her father would really watch his granddaughter die without helping.
Peng Hongxia turned around and went to the kitchen, took some onions from the handkerchief in her pocket, then came out and knelt beside Lin Yintian and said:
"Commander Lin, since my father has been so good to you, I beg you to save my daughter Xiaoqing!"
"If Xiaoqing doesn't marry your Guoping, who would want her in her current situation?"
When Peng Hongxia knelt down, not only Lin Yintian but even Old Peng was shocked.
Lin Yintian quickly stood up and wanted to hide behind Old Peng. After all, he couldn't bear Peng Hongxia's kneeling, as this kneeling might easily implicate his eldest son!
Seeing Lin Yintian was about to leave, Peng Hongxia hugged Lin Yintian's thigh.
Peng Lao said loudly:
"Hongxia, what are you doing? If you have something to say, please talk nicely. Get up quickly!"
Peng Hongxia didn't let go and cried:
"Dad, please ask Chief Lin for me to let Jia Guoping marry Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing, she..."
Mr. Peng said anxiously:
"Why are you hesitating? Tell me what happened to Xiaoqing!"
Lin Manman looked at the anxious Mr. Peng, and then at Peng Hongxia who was acting.
Although Peng Hongxia is not that great, she is Mr. Peng’s daughter after all, and Xiaoqing is Mr. Peng’s granddaughter!
Who can guarantee that Mr. Peng will not be soft-hearted and use the favor to blackmail Lin Yintian?
Just look at Old Lady Zhu and you will know that Old Peng has done stupid things before. The Lin family can’t afford to take the risk!
Lin Manman interrupted Peng Hongxia and said:
"Grandpa Peng, let me speak for Aunt Hongxia. I'm sure Aunt Hongxia doesn't have the face to not say such a difficult thing!"
Peng Hongxia's face turned red with anger after hearing Lin Manman's indirect criticism. She could have said it, but after Lin Manman said that, she couldn't say it anymore!
