Chapter 132: The Sickly Villain in a Female-dominated World 3
As soon as Lin Hanxin came back, she received the news that her daughter had woken up. She was so happy that she rushed to the west room without even drinking a sip of water. Coincidentally, she met her husband who was returning to the east room halfway.
"Wife, you are back." Mrs. Lin smiled. "Are you going to see Qing'er? She just took medicine and went to sleep."
"How is Qing'er? Has a doctor come to see her?"
"Doctor Wang just left not long ago. She said that our Qing'er needs to stay in bed to recuperate, so my wife, please don't disturb Qing'er's sleep for the time being." The daughter finally woke up, and Mr. Lin's worry was temporarily relieved. Now he was content with having a daughter.
"Besides, my wife just came back from the fields, and there is still some mud on her outer clothes. She should go wash up and take a rest first."
What if this dust makes Qing'er sick? The housewife said softly with a gentle smile.
Because the whole family worked hard to support Lin Hengrong's education, the Lin family lived in poverty. As the eldest daughter, Lin Hengxin helped the family early because she did not have the talent to study, and she never married.
The head of the Tian family is from a merchant family. Merchants have a low status in the Yun Dynasty. Because they have always wanted to have a relationship with the government, the head of the Tian family has always paid close attention to the students who have taken the exams over the years.
At that time, Lin Hengrong was well-known in the county. After making some inquiries, the master of the Tian family wanted to marry her, but later found out that she was not an ordinary woman, so he turned around and married his own young man of the right age to the unmarried Lin Hengxin.
Lin Hanxin smiled innocently: "Okay, I won't disturb Qing'er's rest. Has your husband eaten today?"
"No." Mr. Lin walked beside his wife and whispered, "I was so happy that Qing'er woke up that I forgot to eat."
Looking at his pretty wife beside him, his eyes flickered slightly. He had been married into the Lin family for twenty-five years. When his mother married him to a country boy, he did not know how much ridicule she had caused.
But what my father said was right. With his family background and appearance, he would most likely be sent to an official's back house as a servant. Although the Lin family was poor, Lin Hengrong had already achieved the title of a scholar, so once he married, he would be the legal husband. If his wife's sister became successful, then the Lin family would change their status, and his family would be marrying up.
Life in the Lin family was simple but hard. The wife was kind and simple, and Miss Lin was very understanding that he had never done farm work and never blamed him. He thought it would be nice to live like this for the rest of his life.
Unfortunately, there was a cold flash in his eyes. Haha, women are animals who think with their lower body and can't control their own belts!
Ever since his wife's younger sister passed the imperial examination and was appointed an official by His Majesty, the Lin family has been visited by guests one after another, and gifts such as silks, satins, land and silver have been sent in piles. This situation was even more severe after Lin Hengrong got engaged to a man from the Tang family in the capital.
This silly wife of mine somehow brought back a cute little husband during a social outing. What's more, she got pregnant a month later!
Although she finally gave birth to a husband, the servant girl often used this as an excuse to cause trouble.
As for the second servant in the house, he wanted to climb into the bed of the newly-minted scholar but accidentally climbed into the wrong bed, and was also accepted by his mistress in a daze. Just that night, his wife became pregnant again!
What can he do? He can only swallow his anger. In order to bring blessings to Qing'er, he is not willing to resort to any shady means.
Besides, my wife's younger sister is no pushover either. There are only a few farm girls in Dayun who can pass the imperial examination. No matter how those two young servants came here, the two husbands are, after all, blood of the Lin family, and there can be no room for any mistakes.
In the past two years, I have married off my wife with a set of dowry, and the two servants have indeed become much more obedient.
"Tongzi, this world is so strange. Women are superior to men, and women are outside and men are inside." Lin Qing, lying straight on the bed, chattered in his mind.
"Host, this is a completely stereotype." As a well-informed system, 003 gave his less-informed host some scientific knowledge: "It is precisely because different worlds have countless possibilities for development that we have to collect different civilizations for reference. The first few worlds were completely specially selected by 003 for the host's consideration. They are worlds similar to the host's original world."
"Well, 003, you are such a good leader." Lin Qing praised with a smile, "How many days do I have to lie here?"
"According to the system scan, the host has just recovered from a serious illness. As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread being pulled out. You should follow the doctor's instructions carefully."
Lin Qing rolled her eyes. What use did she have for the system? Even activating a cheat code was restricted.
"Host, please do not criticize 003. The system is a high-tech product of the Interstellar Alliance. It is genuine and comes from the factory, so it abides by these rules and regulations. It is completely different from those black systems that only want to make a fortune in the small world. Those guys who don't even have a number will not care about the subsequent impact they have on the world."
"Okay, okay, 003, you are the best! You are my only comrade-in-arms!" After a long time, Lin Qing heard the system's "hmm" in her mind. She chuckled, the sugar-coated bullet was indeed useful.
As she thought about it, she felt sleepy and she simply emptied her mind and fell into a deep sleep.
Hearing the lady's steady breathing, Qingshu waved his hand gently, signaling everyone to speak in a lower voice. Qingmei stared sternly at the boy who was decocting the medicine. The medicine the lady drank could not be wrong even the slightest bit.
When Lin Qing woke up again, the sky was filled with sunset glow. The orange setting sun cast a soft and romantic glow on the window lattice. The chirping of unknown insects came from the dense grass outside the window.
She drank another bowl of bitter medicine, which made her tongue numb. Not wanting to lie down any longer, she motioned Qingshu to bring a soft pillow and put it behind her.
Knowing that the lady was afraid of bitterness, Qingmei quickly took out a delicious sweet candy from the jar and asked, "Would you like to have a sweet mouth?"
Tasting the bitter taste on the tip of his tongue, Lin Qing quickly put the preserved fruit in his mouth, mumbling, "Qingshu, is mother back?"
Before he came back, a woman of medium build, dressed in green silk, walked in from outside the door. She had an average-looking face, with a naive look lingering between her eyebrows.
"Qing'er, you really woke up. It turns out that the master's words are right. Surprise is indeed useful. Tomorrow I will go to the temple to fulfill my vow and donate some incense money." Lord Lin smiled happily, thinking that the master in the temple really had some skills.
"It is time to fulfill the vow. My dear wife, don't forget to take me with you when you go. I also plan to light a long-burning lamp for Qing'er. I hope the gods and Buddhas will bless my son." Mr. Lin, who was following behind, also said leisurely.
"Mother, Father." Lin Qing looked at the two of them with burning eyes, and then she kept replying to her mother's nagging questions.
The husband looked at the two of them tenderly, and then he carefully asked the two personal attendants whether his daughter had eaten, how much medicine she had taken, and whether she had any symptoms of discomfort.
For a while, the only sounds in the room were whispers floating in the candlelight, which gave it an inexplicably warm feeling.
"Husband, aren't you going over?" Xiao He bit her lower lip, her eyes full of anxiety. Why was her husband so slow and not in a hurry at all?
Chen Xi shook his head, his eyes full of envy. Nujun had finally woken up, so he shouldn't disturb their conversation.
Stars of fluorescent light were scattered in the courtyard. He looked foolishly towards the west of the village. His aunt's leg should be healed soon. He wondered if his younger sister had made their mother angry at home.
